(That’s something besides empathy, I think.) Jefferson Davis is the only potentate of a fallen power who ever attempted to escape an enemy dragnet by cross-dressing. He said he never, but the yankees can show you the very gown and handbag.</p> I think maybe the Jefferson Davis comparisons are invidious. (That’s something besides empathy, I think.)

He might look up the meaning of “empathy” and “boy” and maybe “commie” organization while he’s at it. I’ll bet that “empathy” is in there. Joe says it contains the word “queer.”</p> I suggest that Senator Jeff Sessions ask to borrow Joe the Plumber’s dictionary.

I was willing to take his word for it, but that quote is quite the clue

you got “empathy” for the “poor slobs” ???

everybody, using your best Inigo Montoya voice:

all together now, 1, 2, 3

You keep on using that word, I think that maybe that word doesn’t mean what you think it means

an if that ain’t enough to convince you that these people are totally clueless, listen to bristol palin telling people that abstinence is “the only 100% sure method of birth control”

how’d it work for you, bristol ???

guess it ain’t 100% sure then, is it, you fooking CLOD ???
