Thank you … Reading this late in the game… what a fun read! Like a fast and funny game of tennis! Must track this book down!

I always ponder what these ~~evildoers~~ guys were like as kids…. though looking at them now I see such “arrested development” still (ARRESTED being the operative and hoped for word)!!! And Cheney is the darkest of the lot.

That video that went around, Young Hillary Clinton, was also a hoot… and very effective satire.

(Especially loved the New York shots above.)

bruce at 70—garrison keillor makes fun of democrats, in a loving self-effacing uncle kinda way……so, have them use one of his old book reviews in the paper.

–then he makes fun of the others in a not so loving uncle kinda way—

do they require a comparison book when they review him???? un huh…….

oh, maybe it’s cuz he makes fun of both……ha.

so, next time have a ’token democrat disclaimer slam’ preface at the beginning and you’re covered. and say why you’re doing it, two birds with one stone.

There is actually someone at Eschaton whose day you would totally make. “Eli must be stopped” is like his personal motto.

My ears were burning!
