Ahhhhh.....ummmmm....oh, yeah...the last Democrat President?

My point exactly.

[Delphinium]

Your daughter (in-law?) needs a serious reality check.

Tell me about it, we need serious prayer.

[Libloather]

Screw her.

I can't believe that some people still think that video games are all for kids.

While I haven't played GTA, I play a lot of Unreal Tournament 2004. True, it's a different type of game than GTA, but it's very violent. It's absolutely not for kids.

Whether adults "should" be playing it is another matter, but Hilary (and others it seems) apparantly think that all games are aimed at kids. They aren't.

She should go after Hollywierd!

You would think she might have better things to do - like making sure all sexual predators in Chappaqua are registered.

...interesting, not a word about Terri S...(after Limbaugh chided her for it.)...so she comes out making a statement about GTA.

...Some say she's a Master Political force...and now she is heading for the Political Tall Grass...she has a tin ear and fat thighs.

How about murder, Hillie?

You still haven't taken a stand on Terri Schiavo's case.

Looks like Web Hubbel's kid to me.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Did she say diss? Ugh!

"Hillary now does the Sister Souljah routine, straight from the Clintonista playbook."

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Actually this is round two of the Sistuh S. thing. The first was her comments about abortion needing to be rare, or whatever she said.

It worked for Bill, so she thinks it will work for her. Unfortunately, she may be right. When she dissed abortion on demand she didn't get any grief from the usual suspects at NOW, so they are offering her a pass just like they did Bill. Considering the razor thin margins which decide national elections, she could definitely get enough of the sheeple to believe in her.

Next she'll get "poisoned" and drop out for a month to return as a "survivor" while the Blue "spontaneous people" Revolution takes over the center of DC. The OSCE will be along shortly to proclaim the Republicans stuffed ballots, etc.

Did they carry over the feature where you hire a hooker, screw her in your car then as she leaves you run out with a crowbar and murder her to get your money back? Saw a former roommate playing the second game. That was one of those "fun" features.

[MikefromOhio]

yep but my weapon of choice is a chainsaw or machete :)

"Children are playing a game that encourages them to have sex with prostitutes and then murder them," she said in a statement on the issue. "This is a silent epidemic of media desensitisation that teaches kids it's OK to diss people because they are a woman, they're a different colour or they're from a different place."

Maybe she is upset because of the name of the game.

PERHAPS it should have been called, "BILL CLINTON'S TERM IN OFFICE", or "GARY CONDIT'S POLITICAL CAREER".
