Sink, you seem to be in a foul mood today. You insult others while you complain about insults.

You seem surprized? It is the only thing he does.

It makes you look silly.

King makes remarks that he has to apologize for, and I'm the one who looks silly?

Perhaps you should recalibrate.

I'm sorry for your short-circuit.

:-) I had no idea that you were so acerbic--MY mistake!

Have a nicer day!

Defend, explain, clear away, or make excuses for by reasoning
- apologise [Brit], excuse, justify, rationalize, rationalise [Brit]

Just gotta use the second definition

As expected, you find it impossible to apologize for clearly inferring that King was a racist.

You just don't have it in you.

Typical gutless Republican. He comes out with an apt and humerous remark and is forced to apologize. Evolve a spine and stand up like a man!

He was the only member of Sensenbrenner's Committee to vote against renewal of the Voting Rights Act. Why do you think he did that

Not for the reason you are implying. The Voting Rights Act RENEWAL is being used as a political football by the demos this year which you would know if you read below the headlines. Can you say gerrymandering? :o)

But you have introduced a topic which would be another interesting thread so the truth would be outed about this.

Maybe sink will apologize for berating citizens living in cornfields.

Or is it just Rep King that said something "low-classed"?

DFU SONG: 500 Miles (twice we dropped 500 pounds on al-Zarqawi)
DFU SONGS | 6-2006 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 06/09/2006 4:17:54 PM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - 500 MILES (Proclaimers version)

al-Zarqawi thought he never would be caught...he thought our forces were just never smart enough
al-Zarqawi, now the farm he just has bought...and for him his bad hair day turned out really rough

al-Zarqawi had been taken by surprise...all up a sudden there's a flash and big kaboom
Poor al-Zarqawi, on the gurney he had died...and there was not much left of that guy's living room

Twice we would drop 500 pounds...oh, man, it was the sweetest sound
In rubble that's where he had been found...his network we're gonna pound

al-Zarqawi was as evil as they come...is he enjoying virgins in the place he's at?
Poor al-Zarqawi, his soul must be feeling numb...each one looks just like Helen Thomas and is fat

Twice we would drop 500 pounds...oh, man, it was the sweetest sound
In rubble that's where he had been found...his network we're gonna pound

Nancy Pelsoi (Nancy Pelosi)...Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi)...she just doesn't know what she is gonna do
Nancy Pelsoi (Nancy Pelosi)...Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi)...all her plans for Speaker may be finally through

al-Zarqawi, a great lesson had been learned...his buddies know for only so long can they hide
Poor al-Zarqawi, by a snitch he had been burned...'cause 25 mil gets informants on our side

Twice we would drop 500 pounds...oh, man, it was the sweetest sound
In rubble that's where he had been found...his network we're gonna pound

Nancy Pelsoi (Nancy Pelosi)...Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi)...she just doesn't know what she is gonna do
Nancy Pelsoi (Nancy Pelosi)...Nancy Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi)...all her plans for Speaker may be finally through

Twice we would drop 500 pounds...oh, man, it was the sweetest sound
In rubble that's where he had been found...his network we're gonna, gonna pound

I asked why he opposed the renewal of the Voting Rights Act.

YOU, paleo operative and Buchananite that you are, assumed I was inferring something racial.

Do people actually live in cornfields? I wasn't berating anybody who lived in cornfields; just referring to those who did.

I haven't either. She's definately not the poster child for someone loving their job.
