Never gave it much thought before.
Apologies to SoothingDave for posting his word only a week later. Great minds race across the sky at break neck speed.
i do love Scalia the scallywag.

Scalia is no scalawag, despite the alliteration. He’s just a plain Yankee, although he is often a friend of the South.

If you want an example of a modern-day scalawag (a TRAITOR to the South, and a feminazi to boot), here she is:

Point taken. My use was the old form as in rascal, scamp, monkey, imp, devil, rogue. I do have greater respect for him.

Those pudgy feet look silly in those flats with pointed toes. You’d think with all her money she could hire a person to make sure her wardrobe contained clothes that actually flatter her and look like something a serious career woman would wear...

Haven’t you noticed Democrat women are universally dowdy?

Either they are dowdy/frumpy or they wear clothes that emphasize their worst features and look ridiculous-like Michelle Obama, with her garish flower print outfits that look like she she’s wearing the drapes from a window or the upholstery for a couch, and call attention to how wide her butt is...

I’ll bet her staff sher how good she looks, then laugh behind her back-she isn’t exactly known for being a person others like working for-they probably enjoy having her look bad as a form of revenge...

As I recall, those that worked at the White House - back in the day - were not allowed to raise their eyes and look at her in the hallways. I am sure it is still so....

LMAO

The pride and arrogance of the king’s new clothes are invisible to all who are unfit to witness such beauty. So it is with the boastful who hold their wisdom and sophistication higher than all who behold their magnificence.
And the little child says “the king is naked.”
So it is with the great king Obama. He is naked in wit, in morals and in ability. He is the greatest of all fools who believes himself the greatest of all wise Men.
