Perhaps some effective 'sound bites' from this piece or it's references ought to be included on brochures and flyers for tea partiers, objectivists or the like to distribute at their next local political rally?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5200276.post-41316874029891278082011-12-22T15:38:20.013-05:002011-12-22T15:38:20.013-05:00Jayeldee: I meant "interesting" in an ir...Jayeldee: I meant "interesting" in an ironic sense.

Have we ever seen two suits as bereft of content as our current ruler, and the presumptive nominee (Romney)? (Well, the two Bushes were certainly in the same league, I’ll grant you that.) But then, perhaps you intend “interesting” as a sort of euphemism for “nauseating”….<br /><br />(PS I’m rather hoping Fat Newt doesn’t continue to self-destruct. Loathsome as he is, I think he, at least, might be able to introduce a note of “interest” into the performances scheduled in 2012. I think I might enjoy watching him lecture our ruler…. But “enjoy”—there’s another word that isn’t quite right.)jayeldeenoreply@blogger.com
