It helps lots, my friend. I got a huge laugh out of this:
Janet Napolitano (Democrat New Mexico) Secretary of Homeland Security Governor David Paterson (Democrat - New York) New York Governors web site
Senator Amy Klobuchar: (Democrat Minnesota) Senate web site |
Senator John Ensign: (Republican Nevada)
Ensign is the only close to normal person they have. This should be a hoot! Klobuchar's nick name is Senator Short Bus.

Thanks for your hard work here; ugh what a dreary lineup for tomorrow... they have all become so predictable... I watched Larry Summers do the Gibbs news conference this morning from Trinidad, he really is a very sleazy character when he speaks.
To: Bahbah
Babbah, I thought the exact same thing!
