Direct hit.
I remember him. He was semi-famous for about 15 minutes back in the early 80’s. And not an American citizen, as I recall.

That is a real Irish name.
The Boomtown Rats are an Irish new wave band that had a series of Irish and UK hits between 1977 and 1985.
Clintons were members in a whites only country.
Celebs adore that about them.
She died two years ago from a heroin overdose, at age 25.
Peaches died of a drug overdose last year. She was married and had two children. Her mother, who left Geldof for Michael Hutchence (INXS), died of a drug overdose years prior.
Has it been two years already!?! Wow
The one hit he had was a light look at a school shooting.
HE’S ALSO STILL UP 4.6, .1 DOWN FROM YESTERDAY, IN OTHER WORDS NO CHANGE, WITH ALMOST THE ENTIRE POLL GROUP COVERING THE DEBATE!!! :)
They updated early tonight!! Daybreak poll!
Good point.
