One ping for Old Crusty.

There was a lot of estrogen flying at the Cradle of Aviation Museum yesterday, as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton administered the oath of office to Nassau District Attorney Kathleen Rice, the first woman to hold the top law enforcement job on Long Island.
"The torch has been passed to a new generation," said Nassau County Executive Tom Suozzi, pausing to allow the applause to crescendo before adding "of women," which brought down the house of more than a thousand supporters who had come to the inauguration of the region's newest star. As Rice repeated the oath after Clinton, the many male power brokers there were giving even odds on which of the two Democrats in pantsuits standing at the podium was steelier and more driven to succeed.
Rice, whose hard work and vision for change led to a stunning upset over 30-year Republican incumbent Denis Dillon in November, is now expected to turn her oft-described determination to revitalizing the prosecutor's office with new practices and energizing it to root out those who have betrayed the public's trust. Her pledge to "remove the mask from institutions too long immune from the long arm of justice" comes none too soon for those burdened by the hidden costs of political, financial and moral corruption.
Rice made three promises: Her office will be an open and trustworthy one for crime victims; her decisions will be free from political expedience; and she will never put her personal views before the law. "Everyone will share in the law's protections and repercussions," she said, setting the standard for which she will now be judged.
While Rice wants to make Nassau a safe place by being "tough" on criminals, she should remember the words of fairness spoken by the clergy who prayed for her and her staff.

One ping for Old Crusty.
The last time the Hildebeeste got close to estrogen, it tucked its tail and ran off howling.
Maybe she could start with the critter that just administered her the oath. I suppose if Bill had been there, it would have been the "oaf" of office.
The fact that Hillary Clinton was anywhere near this woman makes the above promise null and void.

Replace "podium" with "urinal" and it's easier to understand. |
Snort.
Death to men bump
Estrogen flying at the Cradle of Aviation? When reading her briefing, Hillary must have thought it was an introduction of a new jet fuel.
Testicle disposal-squad alert.

That is an appropriate representation of your tag line.
Oh, you fooled me. I thought this was the REAL "bad fiction contest" thread.
It was a dark and hormonal night ...
Quick Councilor: There goes a pantsuited criminal right now!
LOL. Good to have you back!
One of these times I am going to come back from a suspension saying that I was wrong, and the Mods are all competant and highly intelligent.
That's when I want you to put the pillow over my face and suffocate me.
Could you do that for me buddy?
