When the ship starts taking on water, they bail in their little life rafts. Epic loss for O in Nov? I am thinking Jimmah-style loss.

What is truly pathetic is that Hunter wants to brag about their deep abiding love when everyone knows Edward’s wife was dying of cancer while hunter was making her moves on him. It is beyond disgusting.

When we lived in PA I met a woman who said while joking around in bed she put her silky nightgown down over her husband's head..... and he liked it. Eventually the story morphed into how they would go shopping together for lingerie pretending it was for her, but it was really for him. (Ok, I'll give you a moment to stop gagging/laughing - whichever)

Edwards reminds me of that type of she-man.

I know lots of people wanted Clinton to stay away from their re-election campaigns. But to stay away from the parties and networking and booze and hookers? That’s a lot.

it’s staking out a pretty big patch of ground to stand on, that’s for sure.

It was a good retort to the Huckaphony.

Though it does lose something when it is not being read aloud by Gilbert Gottfried.

I wouldn’t do Edwards with one I borrowed from my worst enemy-he is a pig with such a low opinion of women he thinks he can use them any way he wants, even his ill and long-suffering wife-gives all men a bad name. Hunter may be dumb, but she didn’t deserve for him to refer to her in the derogatory way he did-but if she is really still seeing him romantically, she should know better-men like that do not experience epiphanies, as a rule.

I turned off the TV and turned on classic rock when I heard some woman in congress scolding about witch hunts in an election year-somehow, I don’t think Brian Terry’s family cares what year it is, or whether any witches are involved in finding out the truth about the murder of their family member.

What a day. Obama claims executive privilege on Fast and Furious. House committee votes to find Holder in contempt. Next week the whole house votes. I cannot believe Obama was fool enough to get involved in this petty gun thing or to claim EP. Unbelievable day. Lest we forget what this is really about, Brian Terry and all the dead from those guns.

Bill Clinton was a smart lawyer-he managed to claim executive privilege 16-17 times, and still came up for air. Obama may be a lawyer, but he is not in Bill Clinton’s league except in fantasies...

i highly recommend The Amateur by Ed Klein. I’m pretty sure Ti has already read it, but it is a fascinating account and includes Bubba’s take on the Obams. i just started it last night, it’s an easy read. I literally LOLed when read that Klein said that Hillary was looking old and fat, and needed to get with it if she was going to run in 2016. I hope he has something to say about HER HAIR bc i am clearly obsessed with that! There were pix in the SU alumni mag of her when she spoke there and she had that lank mop pulled straight back in a ponytail. xshub said my God, she looks like a cancer patient. That round saggy face [God bless her, i respect her for not going plastic] needs some hair framing it and some elevation, not having it flat to her skull.

I put the audio version of The Amateur on my MP3 player. I walked around my neighborhood laughing at that scene win HillBill-y. His library in the barn, they have dogs again? The scene was hysterical. Too bad SNL hasn’t done a series of skits on it. Book was a light, gossipy read. I am looking more seriously at that new one. The one that chronicles 38 lies from his “memoir”. That sorry excuse of a man was never vetted. MSM skipped it, and BOOKS are not informing them. Good grief. Thank God, conservative writers can get their books into print.
