SENATOR OBAMA:

"errr, uhhh, folks . . . I'd like for you to join in my heart-felt jubilation as I ask my most revered Comrade to come forward and accept my offer of the Vice Presidency for our November Victory Ticket !! "

It certainly seems as though there is an inordinate excess of potty-mouth talk going on in this thread - - -

Do not the Perpetrators understand that Readers & Visitors at The Salon have probably never met you before - - - which forces them to 'picture' you as you may or may not appear in real life.

With all the unnecessary poo-poo that rolls out off of your tongues in spades, we can only imagine that, whatever the physical merits of your mug may or may not be, that your mouth must indeed resemble nothing less than a Rectum.

... and if so .... were you not brought up at the family breakfast table with siblings & parents & grandparents who sat about spewing similar fecal matter out of the lower-frontal portions of their own facial-rectums ? ? ?

... one can only imagine . . .

It is not a very pretty picture that you paint of yourself & loved ones.
