Campbell's Unintentional Election Advice: 'Pick the Ones Who Look Tough and Mean'

The ostensible topic was the NFL fantasy-league draft that members of the Today show crew recently conducted. But in sharing her strategy for making draft picks, Campbell Brown might have unintentionally offered hope to Republicans looking nervously to November and beyond.
Campbell admitted to weekend co-host Lester Holt that she knows little about football. So in making her picks, Brown said she simply adopted this strategy: "I picked the ones who looked tough and mean."
When undecided voters go to the polls, might they not adopt the same approach in putting together America's anti-terror team? George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, et. all might not be to everyone's taste. But few would deny they're a pretty tough bunch.
Will Americans want to undercut their terror-fighting efforts by installing a team led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid?

I dunno know if you can extrapolate her views onto women's as a whole. Not everyone has a convict for a daddy.

A fantasy-league isn't required to shut out Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, Clinton, Kerry, etc., etc., and their waterboys.
The BIG GAME is the Tuesday November 7, 2006. Team America bump!

To me ........... THAT is the greatest picture of the personality of that Stiller team back in those days than any.
****
Wake up, Petronski.
Stop thinking about the Bonds comment I made to you .......... you do obsess about things, don't you.
As you can see ...... I obsess about things too.
;-)
Quit holding a grudge...... it's Pittsburgh stupid.

Pittsburgh stupid? You're a hell of a lot more of a Pittsburgher than I am.
You accused me of racism. You're congenitally incapable of saying you were wrong. Ignoring you is not a grudge, it's my prerogative.
In short, piss off.
