I don't know what she was on, but she was on SOMETHING.

No question about it. Wager they increased her standard dosage to prevent her from veering off her written speech.

You used to pull wings off of flies when you were a kid, didn't you?

LOL...Why do you say that? Because it would be like watching a train wreck?

p.s. I am also in the business of beautifying God's green earth.

Mine is a hobby. Just finished landscaping the backyard; my husband does not want to see dirt or mulch ever again. The wild birds love it, though.

I must have been listening to a different speech. I thought she hit a home run! ;)

You must have had your disgronificator set on the wrong frequency.

"Dont Cry For Me Argentina" is gonna stick and in my opinion, she just sunk John Kerry""

Wallace killed me with that one.

I have never seen Chris Wallace so brutal.

Not to mention that she made the claims about women needing to be freed. What does she thing Bush just did for the women of Ashcanistan and Iraq.

The nerve of somebody who was part of a prominent family in South Africa, land of aparthied, telling us about setting people free.

Sorry. No can do. CNN has a PLACE OF HONOR in my home. They have the honor of being the only channels on my TV's channel-skip list.
