anyone really surprised the leaf-eared “bush’s fault” card was played formtye billionth time?
today i wish obama had pulled a robin williams, and that robin hadn’t.
I bet there are many democrats asking themselves, what have I done? The rest are watching reality show, American idol and the Kardashians.
