WHAT?
NO KENNEDYS???
Oh, never mind.
Bring Back the Kilt!!!
BTTT
Seen any polls on the LT. Governor's race?
Nope. Haven't seen a thing.
Sure is nice to see all the (M)ilk bumping this thread, huh?
LOL! They're probably busy figuring out how to make Villaraigosa look like a moderate for 2010.
Either that, or waxing the bus.
Hmmm... did they invite Tom on this bus trip, I wonder?
Stoos got dropped like a hot potato. Confirmation that McClintock now realizes that he couldn't have beat Bustamante in 2003 because of his relationship with Stoos.
