Chris Christie has panache, which he got long ago when ordering from IHOP when he misspelled “pancake.”

Hmm. And here I had always thought panache was the result of dropping a heavy skillet or saucepan on your foot.

I had always thought panache was the result of dropping a heavy skillet or saucepan on your foot.

And dropping one of those tiny breath mints on your foot could cause Tic Tac Toe.

Not yet. Waiting for the mercury to cross the Mason-Dixon Line, i.e., zero.

Yes, indeed. However, that latter problem can be cured quickly enough by ingesting some (wait for it)...tofu.

With Texas panache, abortion advocate and big talker, Wendy Williams, attacked her opponent and challenged him to “walk in her shoes”. He’s a paraplegic!

Unbelievable!

According to the table on the deck, I did the first 10 last night.

#1 son just did the rest without being told.

Panache is what you get when you burn the bread.

Wendy Davis (not "Williams") is the most honest democrat candidate since Elizabeth "Faux-cohantas" Warren.

DAVIS (Oooops!)

What scares me is that Faux-chahontas Warren now bears the title SENATOR and is being discussed as PRESIDENT.

Don’t take your eye off of Davis. She seems sneaky and bold.

Especially if you drop the pan on your foot.

Most libs are sneaky and bold. And liars. Davis' big claim to fame is her long filibuster in favor of (extremely) late-term abortions. Now she's running for governor of Texas, a state wherein that platform is not very popular.

He’s really food that way, i’ve not had to check on his homework, or worry about his grades, literally in years.
