apparently Clint played well in the “provinces.” the paralegal said her relatives in PA and WV all loved it and thought it was funny as all get out.
and her relatives are Dems, btw.
he’d have to be more sane than the third party purist wackjobs on FR, and considering he has the b@!!s to run for President when he could not even win reelection in his own district, shows you he’s not tethered to reality. it’s all about fing over the GOPe, even if it means fing over the country and consigning it to the dustbin.
There was also a tribute to Ted Kennedy, the only soldier known to have a confirmed kill in the war on women.
(man - I was so nervous it was going to be some “not guilty” comment of mine...)
oh i see those too ; )
the phrase tommy the halfling made me LOL!
Vainglory, thy name is Hussein.
If one wants to know the true meaning of “vainglory”, they should watch the Democratic National Convention!!!!
NO mention of God, praising those who enter into same-sex “marriage” as having the courage of our Founding Fathers, and calling the Presidency of Barack Hussein obama Soebarkah a success!
PHOOEY!!!!
Note the presence of muslim women in full hijab as delegates to this cracked convention, clapping for every mention of women’s “rights”. Women who must be encased in tents all day have no rights! And they and their cohorts are NOT Americans!!!!
seriously? whoa! that's just ridic!
I had the TV on in the background last night, so caught a few snippets of Rham and the San Antonio mayor.

Indeed.

Nice rant!

Trotting out someone named Castro at the DNC seems very fitting.
I was expecting Fidel, or at the very least Raoul.
Maybe I’m being harsh, but that military mom who introduced Michelle is the textbook definition of “useful idiot.”
did you see that apparently barney frank checked in somewhere wearing an autoerotic collar. no holds barred now, barney, let all of that creepy sordid perversion hang out.
