So, if your friendly, neighborly New York Congresscritter abruptly turns around, does a person following him too closely get codswalloped by his protruding codspiece?

[xsmommy]

Oh but it’s very amusing : )

[xsmommy]

Yes robt bc he said he's going to stick it out.....

[hobbes1]

I’m sure that it is. I’ve been expecting a quip for quite some time... ; )

[hobbes1]

LOL. I just put that out. I love the NYPost.

Pretty Irritated. WaPo did not ask me to help with SP’s emails.

[xsmommy]

It’s bc Neo got the sole Palin mail concession....

[NeoCaveman]

I did not. I didn’t even try. Frankly pouring over that much talk over pipeline negotiations, tax reform, major ethics law overhaul, and energy policy. It was just too much substance for me to handle.

Although I am intrigued to see if there is an email trail about Russian planes in Alaskan airspace. I know Drudge carried that for a day back in, I think, 2007.

[hobbes1]

But look at it this way. You find that one email complaining about a Victoria’s Secret return, and you’re in.

[xsmommy]

Did you see mark foley on hannity last night? Omg it was brutal!! We were screaming when Sean said to him do you punish yourself everyday?

[hobbes1]

I give Foley credit for going into the interview with a no holds barred approach. Took far more guts than Weiners presser.

[xsmommy]

i think he did great and yes it took a ton of guts. Sean was RIDIC though. far tougher on him than on most libs that he has on there.

Nothing says classy like your lady peeing off of the porch!

[hobbes1]

Just Damn.

[xsmommy]

i have a washer repairman here now. bc the POS Whirlpool fancy shmancy h/e washer we bought 3 or so years ago is getting a @#%ing ERROR MSG, which i looked up online and it's COMMON. anyway, xshub spent about an hour on the phone with whirlpool til they finally said they would cover the repair under the warranty. The guy is here now and i was complaining the POS is 3 yo and was 8-900$ and why is it broken already and he went on a long diatribe about NAFTA being the reason why, LMAO!~!

[NeoCaveman]

Better than the current boobs we have in DC.

[SoothingDave]

It’s very high efficiency. Uses almost no electricity when it’s broken. ;-)

[hobbes1]

The digital age tends to make certain appliances that much more annoying!

[xsmommy]

yes bc the FORESEEABILITY of a woman peeing off your porch was so great, you clearly owe a duty of care! RME.
