Jan 2012

you might hurt yourself.

A democratic congress member just thanked two REPUBLICAN congress members for supporting her legislation (with the OBVIOUS intent of claiming it is BIPARTISAN). She is smart in doing so.

But moreover ... she clearly did not endorse anything else that either of these 2 Repubs have ever said. Again ... you are REACHING!!!

... and you are also FAILING at the same time.

But please ... PLEASE stick with it ... its hilarious!!!
