Nobody's ever said to me, I'm not voting for you because you're Jewish, and I don't believe they vote that way, or because you're a woman.

Hags vote for the other hags in their covens because they're confident they know the spells.

That's only because it's a leftist talking it. And one you probably fantasize about.

Which brings up an interesting point: Is there any action on Intrade about how long Obama's mistressess will stay silent?

Or are they all dead?

Babs insulted all of us when she was the leader in the check kiting scandal in DC, she wrote the most bounced checks during that time.. That is an era she would like us to forget.
