Adjournment
Kind of sounds like Ms Elmer Fudd.
It won't matter what she says in the speech anyway. As soon as she leaves the stage, she'll deny ever having said it and accuse the media of putting words in her mouth.
Her hubby tends to do that too---flip flop and deny and lay the blame on others.
Isn't this cute....they are showing scenes of her and John snuggling.
Can you understand her?
lots of lies and pablum
The guy is a good speaker. And thus far, we haven't been able to find a worthy candidate to take him on in Illinois. Within the next 20 years, this guy is running for President. Unless.....
We need to destroy this guy NOW. Tear him to pieces...find out his weakness. As Barney would say, "Nip it in the Bud".
If you step into the arena, you are fair game. Saying "oh, she is just a child" is falling into the Rat trap. I subbed in middle school, and some 8th-grade girls are meaner than snakes, and know quite well what they are up to.
For the newbies- this strange, evil looking image appeared on the back screen between Gore and Bradley during the last presidential Democratic debate. Someone at FR first noticed on a live debate thread like this (4 years ago).... Next thing you know all sorts of people were talking about it, but I don't think anyone ever explained it. It was just one of those weird freaky things, I guess. But so fitting!
Here I am! Do I have to read ALL the posts to catch up? LOL!
So WAS TERRAAAYYYYZZZZAAA on or not?
I thought that was what you meant, but I didn't think it was all that funny, Pardek. Sorry, but you've set higher standards than that and now need to meet them.
Let me take this opportunity to point out that Hunt's makes a fine ketchup at a competitive price.
I only understand about every third word or so. I doesn't matter anyway. She'll deny she said what she said.
She is working hard to get the ManGirlian Candidates elected, therefore she is an enemy to all of us.
What were the ratings of day 1? I heard they were bad.
Why could make Chris Heinz work so hard to undermine his father's ideals?
Do you have kids?
I surfed to double check networks--as promised, they are going with regular programming and I was sorely tempted to drop politics, but no.
Then cables. MSNBC showing this, Fox was at commericial and Cnn showed John Kerry in an interview.
Kerry was talking about Teresa and said "She loves life and she's full of it". *pause* realizes how that sounded, adds "Life".
about to make her appearance
If I had to guess I would have to say Frank Sinatra.
He looks about as much like Ronald Reagan as Chelsea looks like Bill.
If we had the internet in the 1960s, they'd have said the same thing about the photo of a young Bill Clinton shaking hands with JFK.
Watch for this kid 20 years from now.
