Why did he have to take the most bone-headed option available?

Why did those damn Republicans close down the government in 1995?

Because the Democrat press said they did. ;-)

You completly missed it. Fanned it. Swung and got air. You're blaming this on the press. Boo-hoo. Time for Republicans to grow a backbone. JA was presented with something he didn't like. He made a choice. I think it was just about the worst choice he could have made. Real smart guy there. I also came up with one thing that would have been worse (putting a pastie on it).

Why are you cutting Gomer slack here?

Face it, at best, JA isn't professional. At worst, he's the kind of guy who covers up breasts on statues 'cause he feels it's immoral.
