This is eerily similar to the affliction that causes Ted Kennedy to constantly use references to water in his speech.
Thanks for the nuggets have a good day.
#63, you really outdid yourself with your nuggets this week. They brought the usual ear to ear grins in freeper households all across the fruited plain. Keep them coming...
I wonder, anita, if Laura Ingraham could do a Sean and do both radio and TV. I doubt it. I'd hate to lose her on the radio. Since producter Lee Habib took another job a couple months back, I wonder if she's not happy with the gig, or circumstances aren't as good as she'd like? I don't believe she's in the Salem stable along with Bennet, Hewitt, Medved, although she appears of many of the same stations.
great nuggets there, anita!
