There are no new jokes.

Just the same old stories with different names.

(And occasionally different proclivities.)

But is that the writing in the snow joke?

I taught English briefly and hated it - now I know why! LOL

LOL, it is late at night, on a Friday, I thought I was reading between the lines but I wanted to be sure. If you look at this thread, you will see that it is a little disjointed, a little off center. A few off us, including me, are not at our best here.

Now to be kind, you should share the entire joke for the the thread.

Is that the, “it was in Hillary’s handwriting joke”?

If memory serves, the original (circa 1974) had the USSS reporting to the President that the ink was Henry's but the handwriting was Pat's.

In the words of Johnny Carson, I did not know that, that is weird, wild stuff. Truly, nothing is new.

Do you know how Congressional offices operate? Staffers write the letters and a robo-signer adds the signature. As someone noted upthread, if this is the best folks can come up with for attacking Bachmann, she’s in pretty good shape, at least on the scandal front, its literacy or lack of same notwithstanding.

Congressional staffers tend too often to be the offspring of influential constituents, or somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody. The average age of Hill employees has to be about 22-23. They are typically recent college (or law school) grads who are paid about the same as the burger flippera at McD’s. They stay for a year or two, develop the contacts they need, and move on their career paths to more lucrative careers.

After the brouhaha with Clinton’s pardons on his way out, there was no way Bush was going to follow suit. These letters from Congressmen really aren’t that important (except, of course, to the potential pardonee), and were less so in the waning days of Bush’s term. At that point, anyone at a high level in the DOJ was too busy circulating his or her own resume to worry much (if at all) about what some Congressman wanted. Those Bush pardons were few and far between, and everyone knew that was going to be the case.

She has a strong record of leading and passing powerful, effective, conservative, legislation?

Why would you say that, you know very well that the biggest scandal that is devastating Bachmann, is her hiring Rollins and setting out on a strategy to attack and destroy Governor Palin.

To all of you who were offended by BC's post, I will remind you that it was Ed Rollins, of the Bachmann campaign, who first suggested that Palin was less intelligent than Bachmann. I could dig up the Rollins quote from several weeks back, if anybody doesn't recall it.

So now we have a Palin supporter returning the favor pointing out the poor grammar used by Bachmann or one of her surrogates.

Now certainly grammar and the correction of it(lol) isn't something that I pay much attention to. But I do enjoy seeing good examples of the Law of Karma.

If I were a top Bachmann campaign strategist, I couldn’t imagine a better PR piece. The only logical reaction is: “Huh? Is this all they got?”

None of her errors should embarrass.

Well, you know, except for the fact that the guy was a felon several times over, and was engaged in yet more felonies while she was trying to pardon him.

Except for that, they got nothin'.

Only the twit who thinks they are important (and lives in his Mom’s basement) would think them relevant.

Sorry, but taking money to shill for some low-life criminal who wants a pardon is relevant. At the moment, it isn't a deal-breaker for me, but it does show shockingly bad judgment.

I’m a Palin supporter first, but this is total nothingness.

The spelling & grammar part, yes. The underlying incident, no. I would like for her to address it and move on. I do think she has a lot to say, and would hate for this to bog her down.

Like I said, more so than Obama. That is the real point.

You seem to have blinders on. Do you actually believe that ANY conservative much less Republican will not be vilified by the MSM. They are not only in bed with the Obamabots, they are the Obamabots.

Bachman is a Conservative that has the ability and drive to articulate the Conservative message. It is in our best interest to nominate and push for a Conservative alternative to Obama. The fact is that if the economy continues to sputter, as is likely based on his policies, their is a very good chance to run Obama out.

We will not win with Obama light Romney, or even worse the boring Huntsman. Winning the presidency is only half the battle, once we have it we need a real fighter in order to reverse the damage done by the idiot in chief.
