Q: Aside from being a woman, how do you differentiate yourself from the other contenders?

A: Let me count the ways. I'm the most qualified of all the candidates in terms of the range and breadth of my experience in government. I'm the only one with diplomatic experience. And I'm one of the few with both state and national electoral experience.

We blew the place up

Just that stupid remark alone is evidence that she is supremely unqualified for ANY elective office, let alone President of the United States.

I thought we were rid of her after Fitzgerald won the senate seat. Then, I went to New Zealand and there she was again. Now, she's running for President? Egad, is there no end? I would almost vote for Hitlery over her. ALMOST! Please, I'm not that nuts.

"former U.S. senator Carol Moseley Braun was going to till an old family farm"

I have a really hard time picturing Carol Moseley Braun as a farmer... ?

A: This is a wide-open race, and I've got nothing to do but build. The notion that I can't get elected, that people won't vote for me, I've found to be a fallacy, and I feel it will be disproved this time as well.

Is denial a river in Egypt?

"Q: How do you go from single-digit support to winning?"

It cracks me up (both parties) which give these bottom tier people equal billing.

Listening to the "legitimaate" candidates, along with Kucinich, Braun and Sharpton to an extend brings them down to their level.

Why am I not surprised that Carol Mosely Braun would work Krispy Kremes into her political philosophy?

Terrorists are a worldwide plague, and we have to engage worldwide assets to hunt them down. The Germans have great experience with hunting down terrorist cells. The French have experience that we can use. And while I applaud the recent efforts of this administration to engage diplomatic channels to try to make up with old Europe, we've got a lot of work to do to make up, to say, "OK guys, we insulted you last week, but here's some Krispy Kremes and let's make up." You know: Be nice to them.

1. Are all demo talking points now composed by PR firms or agents who also have French and German accounts?

2. I gotta give it to Braun. Unlike Clark, she'll name the "allies" her policies want to appease.

Life is tough, Ms. Moseley-Braun. It's even tougher when you're stupid.

"Is This Still the Land of Opportunity?"

When you consider this woman who is totally devoid of talent, intelligence, or skills of any kind, commands media attention, then one would have to say, "Yes, this is a land of opportunity."

and the right to marry whom you want to "marry" is one of those rights

From the school of Bill Clinton, "Depends on what the word "is" is."

Is this still the land of opportunity

The fact that that brainless hag can claim to be an ex-US Senator instead of a truck stop waitress means that not only is this a land of opportunity, it's not very particular about who makes it.

"Q: Many in the Democratic field criticize Bush for getting into Iraq, but they're less clear about how to get out. What would you do?

A: We can't cut and run. We blew the place up.."

We blew the place up? Is this like a store in the 1990s riots in LA?

And she wants to be President and Commander-In-Chief? She's on the same Darwin level as Totem Pole.

She's a pathetic waste of O2 (oxygen), not the year.

I don't think that's the government's role, to tell people what to do with their bodies or their relationships.

But the money rhey earn, or their kids' educations, that's something else again.
