That’s a shame, to die so young.
God, please welcome this woman into your arms. I hope she is at peace.
I wonder what she was about to come forth with ?

Did she make the mistake of looking Hitlery in the eye or staying in the hallway when Her Highness walked through?

Hers was one of several nominations that the Senate has failed to act on. Another nominee, I believe is Ted IfAnds. The Senate indicated that these nominees would not be acted upon -- no IfAnds or Butts.

“mistake of looking Hitlery in the eye’
If she was turned to stone, its a possibility.

Shouldn’t “Her Highness” be “Ther Thighness”. “Ther” is one of those nongender specific pronouns and Thighness is selfexplanatory.

Hers was one of several nominations that the Senate has failed to act on. Reading her bio at wikipedia, seems like she was a .gov termite for nearly her entire career. Too bad. What a waste of a life.

Well, she did work for a left-wing think tank for a while. She was a law school classmate of Obama’s. Black, of course (wouldn’t expect a white person to be sent there as ambassador).

Wasn’t Seymour the brother of Freeshow, both of whom the naked lady was calling to come home for supper while standing at the front door?....
