Pass out the barf bags.

He said absolutely nothing in his speech, what is the matter with these people.

The first time I heard Obama on Opra when his book came out, that’s what I said: At the end of the day, he said NOTHING!

Chrissy, it’s called a boner. If you man up, you’ll get used to them.

“My, I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don’t have that too often.”

His wife can confirm that.

All of Chrissie’s extremities were tingly.

Apparently even his fat head.

It’s all over for Hillary. She is now relying on the Rudy strategy for Texas. It won’t work. By the time March 4th rolls around, she will be lucky to get 40% there.

I know. That’s what scares me. These people are following someone they don’t know anything about. Lemmings!
