On that team, it is already hard to tell one Putz from another.

Isn't there some sort of FR "the jokes write themselves" rule? May I propose one? (LOL -- ;) )

One would think with such a name a change might be considered but who knows maybe he is proud of it.

Now you’re going to tell us he uses the initials JJ because he’s embarrassed that his first name is Johnson?

Well, he has a long way to go to match the career of NASCAR legend Dick Trickle.

Didn’t know that you could buy a putz on the open market.

Now, can we buy some balls for that putz Sen. Chuckie Schumer? Oh, sorry, I meant a brain.

Balls? No, Hillary already has them - Bill’s in a lockbox.

Harry Reid needs a woody. Gov. Spitzer had both balls and a putz and look what happened to him.

John Kerry - Now there is a perfect example of a putz, and a Massachusetts putz to boot.

Guess the theme song of this blog is “Putzing on the ritz.”

It’s late: What do you want for free?

Pretty much describes every trade the Texas Rangers have made over the years.

Calling Alphonse D’Amato...
Believe it or not, his use of the word “Putz” gave us Chuck Schumer in the Senate.

A while ago Beaver college could no longer take the jokes and snickering and changed their name to Arcadia college.
