Frowning takes 68 muscles.

In 1995, Christie Whitman, a New Jersey governor who was a rising Republican Party star, delivered the GOP’s response to President Bill Clinton’s State of the Union address in front of a cheering crowd in the Assembly chamber.

You got that right. I heard his exchange with Scarborough and Halperin about the snow response. Christie absolutely destroyed them.
Was Christie Todd Whitman ever a rising star in anyone’s mind, except the media?
These reponses are so incredibly stupid.

Am wondering if they will now suggest this for 'school sports' and higher. By their logic, we should no longer have 'visitor and hometeam' sides.
Whatever; more than pathetic (feeling outrage here, actually) that the first step our Repubs take after historic win, was to succumb to neutralizing Dem strategy tactic and PC visual.
WHERE is Marco Rubio?
