@PeterHambyCNN: Ryan just called Florida "the breadbasket of the South" ... phrase has Civil War origins. Florida a major supplier food to the Confederacy

Its getting so I just wanna kick the snot out of these effete leftwing journalists.

Thats all.

[Sooth2222]

These people are insane.

[Cruz]

Gimme a freakin break, these idiots are truly psychotic.

[ClearCase_guy]

You cannot discuss matters with people who play politics in such a manner.

I believe Winston Churchill said that Jaw-Jaw is better than War-War.

But the Jaw-Jaw is pointless now. This will come to war in our nation, and whether Florida serves as any sort of breadbasket for one side or the other during the Second Civil War is not important to me.

Did he make a PB&J with the bread from the breadbasket?

Bert just called Philadelphia the outhouse of the north. Philadelphia has a long history of social injustice and organized crime

[Psycho_Bunny]

There’s a degree of hyperbolic over-reach a person with a functioning brain can pull off.

And then, there’s asshats like Hamby.

[Proud2BeRight]

Well Peter Hamby, your first name has an alternate origin also.

[KansasGirl]

Oh good grief! I hate the state run media! These reporters are the scum of the earth.

[VanDeKoik]

Hooker has Civil War origins too.

Ask your mom about that, Hamby.

[freeangel]

I seem to remember the term referring to my tummy when I was growing up.

[ronnie raygun]

Lets start handing out razor blades as parting gifts come election eve. These cretans are walking the fence

[Liberty Valance]

Is this satire?

[Tublecane]

What is supposed to be the implication?

[KC_Lion]

"Hookers"-Named after General Joesph Hooker, they were unsavory women who were camp followers that trailed the Union Army.

Just like Pete Hamby's Mom.

[circlecity]

The phrase “breadbasket” as an economic term is as old as the references to Egypt as the “breadbasket” to Rome we see in the works of the ancient historians and many thereafter. It’s on the “A” list of overused historical metaphors.

[VanShuyten]

Don’t dial while drunk, and don’t tweet while stoned.

[Castigar]

OK, here we go: You people in Chicago were niggardly in putting the PB&J on the bread from the breadbasket while trying to make the PGA Tour.
