"And that is something that the Republican nominee has faced in the past and probably will face in this campaign," ...

"And sometimes they make incredible leaps to try to drop those bombshells on the Republican nominee."

If the U.S. military can shoot down a satelitte in space, why can’t they carpet bomb the NY Times building?

Later, the White House accused the Sun of rising in the east and setting in the west. Officials refused to comment on whether or not water was indeed wet.

As the NY Slimes continues to follow the Dixie Chick marketing program re poing all Republicans and independents with a functioning brain, their subscriptions, ad $’s and stock value continues to plunge.
