That has to be one of the top 10 dumbest things I’ve ever seen a candidate say.

Oh, I thought you and xshusband had more time together since xskids are grown up. LOL! Me still as bad as ever.

Loved your article on Cong. Connoly and the Colonel. Hope the Coloonel wins and has Connoly locked up in a brigade. Harumph!

Gerry Connolly is lower than pond scum. He’s HIDEOUSLY ugly, and nasty to boot. NO redeeming qualities. He was nearly beaten by Republican Keith Fimian the last go round and it actually went to a recount and results weren’t known for several days past election day in 2010. He was chastened by the near loss for maybe 5 minutes but then reverted to type.

Gerry Connolly, and this pic makes him look half decent, if you can believe it!

and the very handsome Col. Chris Perkins.

Yeah, but more for the kids than anyone else. I don’t expect this to change the outcome. We’re the #4 seed playing #13.

Frankly, our election reflects the loss of any concinnity our country needs to remain cohesive. Even before Hurricane Sandy hit, I saw a greater disaster. (I live in NY.)

He looks like he came from the same pig-man experiments as Henry Waxman.
