I hope Good Morning is not too pithy!
Every liberal speech is sententious
Full of half-truths and lies, all contentious
“Income equality”
“Women, morality”
They pretend to be so conscientious
Sententious, contentious, conscientious
I wouldn’t go so far as to say Obama is sententious, but he sure does trot out the same old memes every time he’s in front of a group of “his people.”
Bill O’Reilly: sententius is thy name!
sententius=sententious
Being married to any pretentious, pontificating Liberal such as Obama is like serving a life sententious …
I can’t even imagine being married to someone who believes so fundamentally differently than you.....and some here on FR live that way.
By buying several folding chairs and a new teepee from Amazon, the Indian made a settentious senttentious decision.
He promised Hope and Change
With a limited sententious range
Yet the steeple bought the farm
Voted for his teleprompter charm
And got a wolf with a case mange.

Re the WFTD, this proposal by sententious Leftists at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation have really got me steamed. :-|
