“Maybe she might now qualify as a counter girl at the Waco Dairy Queen.”

Good thing her Mother didn’t pull a Ted Kennedy.
“For a party that’s trying to eliminate private cars, they sure do find them useful.”
LOL
Wasn’t there a story about al franken and some ballots in a trunk also or did I dream that?
she was never viable-just a lump of cells.
