The “genuine spirit of give-and-take” requires only Republicans cross the bridge spanning the partisan divide.

Lindsay: Hee, hee, hee. C'mon Al tell me that story again about how you dressed up in a diaper. It makes me so hot.

Al: Hee, hee, hee. Well, ok. I'll tell you how I wet myself too.

Lindsay: Wait, wait. (ziiiiippppp)

Ain't no deal sealed unless the Senate agrees. By 2/3 vote if memory serves.

Pandsey is one of very few I'd hang the title of "Totally Worthless" on.

CNN was recently bragging on Lindsay for bashing Beck. He’s replaced McCain as the RATS favorite rino.

To be fair, he was only recently discovered, at least by the general public, to be an idiot.

Resign, Sanford, you decadent dipstick!
