lol also. I tried so hard to not make errors but it happened anyway. I can just see Boxer grilling me to admit I made a mistake.

>> because the guy is so utterly irrelevant <<
Except that if he hadn't been so preoccupied with himself, Bin Laden may have been irrelevant by 2001.09.11

They were trash indeed. Imagine, casual Friday in our White House. It was not a small business office where you bring goodies and have fun on Friday.

Excellent piece, Doug.
The purple fingers were, as it turned out, powerful visual images.
My own reaction (and I can't claim it as original; other FReepers arrived at similar conclusions before I did) was reflected by my question yesterday to the North Carolina board: "What are the more profound badges of courage... John Kerry's Purple Hearts, or the purple fingers of Iraqi voters?"

A purple badge of courage is a good saying.

Beautifully stated! I hope you will send your exquisite essay to newspaper 'letters to the editor'.
I'm hoping that President Bush will put blue ink on his finger for the SOTUS. Perhaps all the Republicans would too, to show solidarity with the Iraqi people and for those who yearn for freedoms wild and wonderful song.

To continue the stain analagy, the stained finger was helded up in the open light of day for all to see and as a badge of honor, and the stained blue dress was secreted away as long as possible and hidden from all. The stained finger is a badge of honor for President Bush. The stained blue dress is forever the indelible mark of Clinton. These images will be written into the history books for all to know.

What a great idea. The president and all of the GOP should have a blue (or purple) finger for the SOTU. Of course, it should be ink that comes off easily. :)

Doug, only you can discover how stains are related.
I haven't heard you on the radio lately. What are you up to? Have you called into that new liberal's show on 790 KABC?

Indeed, I believe some historians will pick up the analogy. Maybe not in Ithaca or Berkeley or Madison, however.

We should do this when we vote, it would keep the DUmmies from voting twice.
To: BobS
Come on. I'm not the only one who can talk about stains. Others probably just didn't want to admit it.
I haven't called a show for awhile. The Bush times have been good times for earning a living. Besides, I got spoiled and don't want to wait on hold for more than 10 minutes.

If we all accepted the message and ignored the typos, Dan Rather would have gotten away with it. Close looks at both caused Dan to crash. Heh, heh.

"Bill Clinton just watched it go by while he spent his time taking down his pants in Oval Office."
As long as we're pointing out grammatical errors, there's another in your above sentence. But two in a piece that long is nothing. Good work!
