My favorite line from Fire and Fury - So Far

Page 118:

"What's more, Bannon found (Paul) Ryan, in theory the House's policy whiz, to be slow-witted if not incompetent, and an easy and constant target of Bannon's under-his-breath ridicule."

Explains a lot about what is going on in the House of Representatives. Or what's NOT going on. So Ryan (with deeply furrowed brow) is an idiot!

Love your avatar BP. That's how I feel most of the time.

Except when I am out volunteering at the local rescue horse sanctuary. Loving on them, grooming them, picking their feet, scooping manure. It's all good. That's the good kind of manure - not the kind coming out of Washington.

"I am mad as Hell and I am not going to take it anymore" from Network I would've used it but since I am a woman Janet Leigh will do.

I found Bannon to be pretty funny in his jabs at the characters around him. His Godfather references were spot on ("Fredo" lol).

Just sayin'.
