@auntiecairo

I liked your words and I like how you took the name of a city I lived in for a year.

In arabic cairo is pronounced il-kawhira, and it means "the victorious."

May we who are democrats be blessed with victory as well.

Maasalama.

I agree with you right on the spot, some of these toiling trolls have got to drop the bot.

@sally

When did I ever personally slap any of those labels on you? When you use terms like Obamabot, it's pretty clear you just wanna feud.

Yeah, Bill Clinton made remarks that I thought were not too bright or sharp, but I don't believe the dude is a racist deep down in his heart.

@sonofloud

I understand that you're real Clinton proud, but remove that shroud, because this election is no longer all about them now.

I know. Where's all the proactivity against racism, it's been replaced by this kind of inert defensivity.

Thank you much for the praise, and may you know much gladness in all of your days, and a hearty "salam" to you as well, and may we definatively emerge from under the sway of these eight years of - Bush imposed hell.

I say this without any cruel aim to be unkind, but maureen's self held sense of superiority, is very much in her own mind.

@auntie cairo

maureen odonnell reminds me of what in Egypt is called "afreet," which is a little like a jin, that likes to mischieviously materialize in and out, again and again.

Uh oh!

The vultures'll be on this one for awhile. Glad I don't waste my time with the tube, cos this Edwards business is bound to get lurid and lewd.

With regard to auntie, it might've been the "camel jockey" crack.

Never cared for Edwards

All I can say is the Ken doll had an extra-marital Barbie doll fling, while his wife Elizabeth was sick with cancer, he was out actin' like the king.

@doloresflower

Pardon my curious interruption, but what is astroturf other than an artificial carpeting for a sports field? I mean, what does it mean in the modern slang sense, because I've never heard that one before?

That wasn't Glenn Close in Jonathan Demme's remake of The Manchurian Candidate, it was Meryl Streep. Denzel did a damn fine job in that one, And Liev Shriber played one whack Ramond Shaw. Meryl played Rammond's mad hatter of a mom.

Sure, Americans are insufferably sanctimonious about sexual indiscretions

But Edwards was such a poncey Ken doll that I could sometimes imagine the only oxygen entering his head was the oxygen that came from his hair dryer, and as far as sanctimony goes, Edwards was such a preening twit, that as far as his fall from grace goes, I coudn't really give half a shit. Edwards probably constituted 8% of why Kerry didn't win, because just look at Edwards, he's just a plastic action figure with a nicely practiced political grin.

I'm already tired of hearing about this haloed asshole.

Saturday, August 9, 2008 10:07 AM

Fuck Edwards!

He's fucked by the fool luck of his draw of the fuck.
