The Imperfect Candidate: Reno Appears To Have Learned Little From Her Old Boss
The Washington Post ^ | 8/9/02 | Terry M. Neal

She's leading Democratic primary polls, when all indications say she shouldn't be.

Forgive me, Freepers, but I think I'll re-register as a dem for a couple months and vote for Reno in the primary...just to have the satisfaction of watching her go down in her shaky alcoholic lesbian flames later.

Just as Clinton did what he could to get Dole nominated, knowing that he was the weakest candidate, I think we Florida Freepers should do what we can to get Reno nominated in hers.

Ewwww.....now I have to go wash my hands and gargle.

Of COURSE I'll vote for Jeb, and drag a dozen others with me to the polls.
