He was on MSNBC doing a quick interview, sharing his views. What a colossal jerk. The only redeeming value of the spot was when he called gore a dork.

[Conspiracy Guy]

TV now days is a blight. I loved the Andy Griffith Show but I couldn't stand Aunt Bea.

Currently I don't watch any pop TV. I watch News and the History Channel and not much of those. It seems that all the shows are old recycled ideas. The writers lack creativity or fail to maintain it when they find it. Laura loved Seinfeld, after midway 1st season it seemed repetitively boring to me.

[Gabz]

I'm sorry for all my irrational blathering - but those neanderthals really got my goat!!!!!!!!

[Conspiracy Guy]

Don't let em do that, they are Old Testamen. Old Testamen don't know squat.

[Gabz]

And they call themselves Christians?

I loved all the suppositions of my religion - they were hilarious - can you imagine if they knew I was one of those dang papists??????

[Texan5]

That picture is worse than creepy! The look on the guy's face reminds me of Norman Bates!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I think they are a Seventh Day Adventist sleeper cell. Or Old Church of God. Either way they are sanctimonious boobs.

[Gabz]

[xsmommy]

[Texan5]
