"We Repubbies don't really have limbidos or nothing, you know, so we ain't exactly sexperts or nothing, you know. Oh, we're hip to toe-tapping bathroom stalls and extramarital diaper sex, and shit like that, but when it come down to regular old limbido shit, we are clueless, and Huckster just put his big fat freaking foot in it as usual. So ignore us. We is - smirk - just harmless old HYPEocritical RepubliWankers. Smirk."
