Wow! Just one short year ago, all of the little skulls full of mush wanted to name their school after this moron. This is good news for Kobe Bryant and Hannah Montana. The kids will be going back to wanting to name their school after them. “Kobe Bryant! Mmmmm! Mmmmm! Mmmmm!” LOL!

From the tv series “Cheers:

“Let’s hang him in effigy.”

“No, let’s hang him right here in Boston.”

"A lot of teachers supported Obama,"
