The news just keeps getting better. Maybe Lautencadaver can join Ted Kennedy in Hell soon.
Damned right it’s too old. I dont care how sharp he is he isnt at the top of his game. Of course Dems dont care as long as he can make it ot the vote.
The old fart should retire and give someone else a chance to get rich off the taxpayers.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the future (GOP) Senator from New Jersey, Donald Trump?
Dropping like flies.
Be careful how you rejoice, Karma is a real #itch.
