My point is that every decision made by o’zero would have also been made by Rev Wright, who as we all know, hates America. It’s the only way I cope when I hear of 0’zero’s decisions.

GOPe Republicans fear everything, including puppies, kittens and purse-carrying, skinny media rats who call them racists. Oh, the horror. Some faggot might call me a name. Allow me to tremble and pee in my pants.

That is what I was thinking. Just call Al Gore. I am sure he has some ideas for a new one.
