"....148-year-old Democrat Socialist...." He looks good for his age doesn't he? But, since he's doing the work for common everyday folks like himself, it must be okay right? We'll cut the reporter some slack for the age screw up.

I would expect that Burnie would be flying around in a Curtis Jenny instead of a luxury business jet.

The unwritten assumption when Socialism says “equality for all” is that the elite government bureaucrats and officeholders deserve to live the good life because they put all that effort in managing the rest of us.

He’s going to run again and his role will be to make the other candidates look like moderates.

He had some campaign literature that said he was once a “carpenter who worked with children”.

Which probably means at one time he picked up a piece of wood and handed it to some kid.

Peasant! Do as I say, not as I do, and do not bring up what I do for public scrutiny as I am above that. To do so will cause me to bring down the wrath of my followers upon you, your house, and your family!!!
