4. We came up with it a few days ago
around here. Then I heard Carville use it (George Bush is a flim-flammer) when he was on the Katie Couric face-off.

You're right...it fits PERFECTLY!!!

I'm just trying to get the echo chamber going. :)

8. Yes, Carville did a great job!
I liked the way the camera stayed on him showing how irritaing and rude that arrogant prick from the GOP was. Another typical Republican...interrupting then hogging the time of the segment while getting in their long-winded talking points. :eyes:

I need to change my sig... George W. Bush: FLIM-FLAM MAN!

Keep it echoing far and wide!

12. Flim Flam Man all the way!!
You name it! He's flim-flammed in every way imaginable!!! From the lights shining on the Statue of Liberty in the distance to the Made in the USA stickers on cardboard boxes. From the No Child Left Behind to the Clean Air Act. From the "tax relief" to the gay rights is a state's issue. From the "I hear you and those who attacked us will hear you" to "Saddam possesses weapons of mass destruction". And on and on and on.

Flim-flam on the American people. Big time.
