For the life of me I can't remember her doing anything much more memorable than making the clever comment: "poor George Bush, he was born with a silver foot in his mouth." True enough, but Richards isn't really remembered for much more than that, besides her battle with the bottle. This ad sounds like a real non-happener. Funny how people outside of Texas seem to think Richards was some kind of legend. To most of us she was the woman who beat Clayton Williams for the governor's office, and nobody but the crudest redneck could have voted for Williams. I voted for Richards because she was really the only alternative.
Maybe Clinton can claim the endorcements of Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin, L.B.J. too!
I always thought the Clinton campaign was fueled by bullshit, this only prooves it.
You're right Hillary, who needs hope?
Usually in cases of emergency the phone lines are down.
Hillary wants four long years to play on our fears. Been there, done that.
Lead us into the light oh Fearless Leader!
Mark Penn must be off his meds.
Oh yeah, what's the guy gonna do leave the poor bastards stranded with nothing but bubble gum and sling shots to defend themselves with?
You are the true sense maker.
YOUR arrogance IS quite astounding.
Hillary inevitability in trouble!!
..is Hillary's crumbling credibility.
The MARTIANS they're HERE, so PUMP UP the FEAR!!
But it does indeed seem like your grabbing at crumbling "biscuits," or straws, whichever way you people across the Atlantic like to put it, will all in reality come down to how the proverbial cookie crumbles next week, which isn't boding terribly well for Hillary this coming Tuesday. The bredth of your knowedge about WWII is impressive, but I shan't be one to go over the crumbs of history, but shall instead look forward to tomorrow, and life's great, great mystery. Hope you go off to sleep just as smug as a bug in a rug. Cheerio!
The word is "heard."
...but smug is what you ARE.
nighty nighty granny.
So what's up doc? What's happenin' deep inside the bowels of the Hillary bunker?
...doesn't suggest that he's drinking kool aid, I'd say he's been droppin' acid.
Geraldo Rivera unearths Barack Obama's dirty laundry in Al Capone's safe!
Now if Hillary could just get Britney Spears to back her she'd have the whole race cinched.
Maybe Hillary get get her second banana spouse Bill to be SNL's special musical guest! There's no music quite like somebody strangling a saxophone on stage.
Stay with a candidate you can trust. Adlai Stevenson in 2008! Good luck doc, the modern world beackons me back.
I aims ta pleeze.
I'll stay with Obama, seeing as he's alive and walking above ground. Cheers! Go Adlai!
Barack Obama's ties to Al Capone can finally be revealed! We've got the real yuck on the best muck! Hot, Sensational, it'll make you positively perspirational!
smug as a bug in a rug I trust? Thanks for clearing up the true accuracy of the Obama quote. Man, Maureen's just a font of juicey jive shit!
She has all the able grace and composure of a neorotic chihuahua.
But I don't add filthy lies. Still reliving World War II I see. Get with it girl! You're so 20th century!
I love how you rave like a rabid animal. It's very becoming, and doesn't make you seem the least bit unhinged.
Either that or she's completely psychotic.
What gets me as bizarre is how anybody could want a pants suit clad war hawk to be their fist woman president. Today Iraq, tommorow Iran! What furthers boggles the brain as completely insane, is the fact that anybody would want a Clinton Mach III dynasty, with Bill as co-president, while I guess Chelsea will be groomed for the succesion to the throne. Yeah, that's the kind of injection of new blood and perspective that gets me all excited going to polls. Man Doc, I'd vote for Adlai Stevenson too if I was you. Given a choice between Clinton and the dead guy, the dead guy gets my vote every time.
I don't really give a shit.
Just more of the same. See ya in San Antonio, go Obama!
Tom, you nailed it. There's gonna be some of the flimsiest fear mongering ever dreamed of for Obama to field if he makes it to the general. You make it funny here, but it'll be a more serious matter when things come down to the mat, and I thing Obama is evry bit up to these idiots and their CGI generated "sinister saracens amongst us" smear campaigns. They can try to make him Obama of Arabia, but it still stands to that he's really just Obama of Illinois. They're really gonna have to pull out the special special effects. Thanks, great 'toon.
Some cheaply try to sell him as the Manchurian candidate, but my man Obama is like an indestructable black James Bond, and I believe that he can prevail and win the day to steer, our whole country away from Hillary's brittle web of fear. Go Double O!
Face up to your responsibilities to Frau Hillary like a man!
..is put on patriotism.
And what a non-happener it was. The Hillary hype has gone down the pipe.
But is it a name you can trust? Uh-uh, I don't think so. We've already been to Baghdad because of her and other war wankers, next it'll be a hot and hellacious holiday in Tehran. Sound tempting? Suckers are a dime a dozen.
Don't slice it up into the sexes, PEOPLE, ya know? like human beings? THEY'RE friggin' stupid. We're just marginaly better endowed with bigger brains that some of our tree swinging primate ancestors. Whenever you look in the mirror, boy Or girl, just remember you're not that far up the 'ol superiority scale from a goddamn gorilla.
Was that the old Quaker oats guy? What's his name? Oh yeah, Wilford Brimley!
