Lineage counts for much among the Royals, and their popularity resides in publicity.

Jay Carney speaks carefully, no swivet
Deflecting each question with a pivot
One day he will die
And when St. Peter asks why
He’ll say, “My life is a lie, so I just live it”

Though we had a couple at the hospital when #2 was born, that couldnt decide. I just find it a tad kooky.

Methinks they are milking it.

As much as I don't care, even I think they should do....this, anything less is a let down

The Senate, in a swivet wants to waste our money on foreign entaglements.

When will they learn to stay out of the civil wars of others?

That’’s his name until he’s given a formal name. He could be known as Baby Cambridge for as long as 2 weeks. Then he’ll get (probably) 4 first names. Remember when diana got the order of Charles’ 4 names wrong during the wedding vows? Whe probably could have gotten an annulment, instead of a divorce for that blunder. They all have 4 names.

that leftwing lesbian shill Sally Kohn should NEVER again be on the panel

I couldn't agree with you more. I was literally screaming at the tv set. Detroit is a perfect, scientific experiment of what liberal policies do to a city. Blaming republican policies on its demise is like blaming the Mets' decline on George Steinbrenner.

I went to Arbys yesterday and they asked for a name for my order, so they can call me when its done.

Next time i am saying “Barrack” just for the laughs.

it is every bit like being through the looking glass with Alice when trying to discuss anything with those people, it makes you feel like you are insane. their concept of reality is totally different. i think Charles may have a stutter, and last night, i felt like he was having to fight it more than usual because of his reaction to her insane arguments.

she was sooo thrilled to be on the panel and was a bit too loud and overeager, even apart from being over the moon and up obama’s butt on policy issues.

I'm pretty sure his stutter is the result of his paralysis.

she is a big woman isn’t she? But seriously - a man’s suit? Could she be more of a stereotype?

he controls it admirably. but when he’s agitated i think it becomes more of an effort. when you have a leftist puppet next to you, mouthing absurdities, i am sure it’s a great source of agitation!

Better than being named after John McCain, the original media pet maverick.
