Huckabee & The Club friends at last? TRIBUNE-REVIEW By: Salena Zito

LOL. There was an article on the site of a Cleveland news station about a proposed bill introduced in the Ohio House of Reps. The author couldn’t even go the State’s website and find out the bill number and the names of the sponsors and place it in the article. LOL.

Hey, look, the horse will not die. Let's kick him in the ribs for good measure. Mike, America is great because of rugged individualism and conservatism. Not smoking bans. Get a real job.

I don’t know, look at the Clintons and the Kennedys-political scum seems to hang on forever-although I can hope, I suppose. God, I hate this Elmer Gantry scumbag.
