being comfortable. When he lies, he wiggles his behind and shifts from foot to foot. How can he do that sitting open to God and everyone?

Should be interesting.

from the report:

"One card is submitted to moderator Candy Crowley and the other is retained. Crowley, a CNN political correspondent, selects questions that make for a mix of diverse topics and questioners.
The other card is read by the audience member, in front of a national television audience, when Crowley calls on that person.

Crowley has said in interviews with CNN that she plans on asking follow up questions."

No doubt in my mind at all. Candy helped Bushco steal it in 2000. I hope Obama lights her up along with Mitt. I guess they couldn't get Chuck Toad or Rudy Ghouliani?

I thought it was a pillow, thinking he must need something soft for his ass, swollen from repeated full-arm intrusions to find his answers.


Very funny.

I remember the good old days when being cast as a flip flopper was a bad thing. Now, Republicans see it as a requirement. Or, maybe flip flop is a term they only apply to Democrats.

The taxpayers will buy him a satellite dish for his etch-a-sketch, so he can watch Shawn Handy on it in his bedroom. I heard that he's stood in front of his Etch-A-Sketch since 1963 waiting for it to come on.
