The editors/producers did a great job finding all the clips. Remarkable. Stunning.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I read your post a couple of days ago.

Would Sarah Palin and crew have been excited about her having an out-of-wedlock baby? Of course not. Yet these ditto-heads are raving about her.Lynn Klyde-Silversteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478378935154710640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604990465653925540.post-5940859662128594102008-09-09T22:49:00.000-04:002008-09-09T22:49:00.000-04:00The first video about Clinton reminded me of the A...The first video about Clinton reminded me of the AFS paper, what, 10 years ago maybe, about Clinton's portrayal in cartoons, jokes, and popular media. It was disgusting then, and it's disgusting now. I'm waiting for the Palin jokes.

By the right, which so polarizes complex issues that any kind of dialogue becomes impossible.<BR/><BR/>But yes, I wish they'd STFU, too. Which I suppose makes me part of the problem.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223441754197927551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-604990465653925540.post-55012886249412043252008-09-06T20:26:00.000-04:002008-09-06T20:26:00.000-04:00Rose, I have to apologize to you for suggesting th...Rose, I have to apologize to you for suggesting that you use the term "shut up" too much.

Even my 79-year-old mother loves him.<BR/><BR/>2) Love "Ball of Confusion," love the Tempts, love the silver suits.
