I lived in SC for five years (’95 - ‘00). I would have liked to meet him or any other of his personal caliber.

Took me a minute to figure it out, too.

But then again, I don’t tweet and am unfamiliar with the formatting.

He left the plantation, so I guess he deserves to be called the -N-word.

Best one word comeback since: “Nuts”.

On the McClatchy Facebook comments, I posted:

"Voting for a candidate is precisely the same decision as the decision to hire an applicant."

"Under Federal law, discrimination on the basis of RACE or GENDER when evaluating applicants for hiring is ILLEGAL."

"What does that say about YOUR last three votes for President?"

~~~~~~

I predict that the response of over 60% of liberals who read that will be:

"Say whaaaat???"

Yes, he’s a Senator ..!!!

That’s really funny.

Just sent this to him. There was a choice of topics and I honestly couldn’t find one that fit so I chose “Guns”

“OK, not the real topic but I couldn’t find one that fit and it does seem appropriate for the one shot take down of your Twitter assailant. Almost as short as General McAuliff’s “Nuts” and as clever and quick as anything Churchill said. Damn you’re good!”

Oh, yeah! LOL!

It’s a perfect response.

A snow hill in the Secaucus NJ Wal-Mart parking lot. It takes a long time to melt all the way down.

That is quite the long-lasting snowflake meltdown!
