Alright! The crowd looks
Alright! The crowd looks very happy.
Boy, Ole' Liberal Flip Flop Jimmy Sasser
looks OLD. Heck, McCain looks like a 30 year old to the flip flopper.
So Sasser looks really,
So Sasser looks really, really, really old. Gotcha.
True happiness is knowing you are a hypocrite. -- Ivor Cutler
Efficiency
Really dense Republican bullshit. You think Jim Sasser looks older than McCain? If so, have your eyes checked before you drive again. That shrub in the crosswalk could be Duhbya.

Looks like popularity contest blogging.....
Nice job of showing your
Nice job of showing your arse, BH. Sasser looks fine to me, but then again I'm not god's gift to women, like you are of course.
Oh yeah: Great job, bizgrrl and Randy! This must be a heck of an experience to savor. You two are right where history is being written! In a very good way!!
FactChecker,
I was having a little fun. For those of you offended, I apologize. At least I was on topic. I was commenting on the first photograph of our former Senior Senator in at least thr past 10 years.
While you decided to go off topic and launch a personal smear attack against me. Obviously, you do NOT personally know me. I have been married to the same young lady for over 20 years. Please email me and we can discuss this further. So that everyone else doesn't have to read your off topic attacks.
Not offended.
Not offended. Incredulous.
BH, your posts are disorganized and devoid of a logical thread. They're really just a series of gibes.
It makes me think the Turing test might not be so hard for a computer program to pass if you were the human. "Married to the same young lady for over 20 years"? Does not compute!

New Mexico
I was disappointed that the roll call vote was ended just before New Mexico. I would have liked to see Richardson garner a few electoral votes. Or was NM so late in the primaries BR didn't gain any.
____________________________________
"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult; whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse."
The only names placed in
The only names placed in nomination were Clinton and Obama, so Richardson couldn't have gotten any votes. They made it down to NM, but NM yielded to Illinois who yielded to NY for the big theatric finish. NM said they would be famous for yielding. There were several states where not all their delegates voted (FL announced one abstained), so presumably that was a "none of the above" vote for someone else not in nomination.
Sorry, I forgot IOKIYAR
Who would be offended here? Only the Sassers would have reason to be personally offended, and they probably wouldn't see this. If you're talking about offense in the broader political sense, I think you offended everyone you intended to offend. In the bizarro GOP-world it's OK to attack someone if it's just "having a little fun." Old liberal "flip flopper" who looks OLD and makes McCain look very young, ha ha.
So of course you can understand that I was just having fun back with you. My apologies if you misunderstood.
Hillary Clinton gets stuck
Hillary Clinton gets stuck in elevator at the Pepsi Center, "needed to be lifted and squeezed out". What a way to end an already stressful day.
