Yes, that’s right, possums, Anita Dunn, former Obama aide who told a group of high school students that Mao Tse Tung was one of her two favorite political philosophers [1], has been hired by Tory hopeful David Cameron [2] to help him prep for tomorrow’s televised debate with Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown.

LOL...Waxman. I saw another thread today where they had the William Shatner picture in the airplane with Waxman on the wing...
There was a ping for Waxman on the Wing!
Mao was an evil bastard with green teeth, putrid breath and a penchant for twelve year old girls.
That SOB should have been hung up like Mussolini.
Mao is doing the Eternal Burn.

That is good to consider in light of the millions of people who ended up with a bullet in the back of the neck.
