Clinton says Clark has "a sack full of guts"

[homelandpunk]

uh. ok.
Boy, I hate when Clinton tries and fails to use populist language.
Very Bush-esque.

[bigendian]

1. I bet he keeps them under the bed.

;-)

[Cocoa]

2. I hope he has them refrigerated

:-)

[VolcanoJen]

4. Yuckie!!!!

Ick. Smelly!!

I'd prefer to vote for a candidate who isn't so odiferous,
Jennifer :-)

6. What % of Murikans would puke at the sight of guts?

near 95% I am thinking.

[slappypan]

5. is that some Southern custom?

Chitlins is what they call 'em right? Perhaps Clark has invited Clinton over for dinner in Little Rock. ;)

[DemExpat]

7. lol.....

a sack full of chitlins.....

:D

DemEx

[Devlzown]

8. Chitlins are considered a delicacy by some down here,

but not by me. I'm not sure if Clinton is paying Clark a compliment or not. Just ask anyone who's ever cleaned chitlins -- they'll tell you what they're full of.

[diplomats]

9. I'm sure it's intended as a compliment

:)

29. In the late 90's

when I was living in North Carolina, I got on an elevator w/a neighbor. He was carrying a large white bucket. I asked him what was in the bucket. He opened the bucket to let me see.

:puke: The bucket was full of chitlins. Oh why din't I wait to ask just before my floor?

People really...... (turning green) ........eat those things?

[diplomats]

3. Link please?

Clinton uses a lot of homespun langauge. And he's way more articulate than Bush when he does - normally. (BTW, I guess that's better than a sack full of nuts.) :)

15. here is one

politicalwire.com/archives/002990.html

... Quote of the Day. "He is brilliant, he is brave, he is good and he has a sack full of guts." -- Bill Clinton on Wesley Clark, as quoted by The Californian. ...

[virtualobserver]

10. Isn't " sack full of guts" a brand of coffee sold in the northeast? n/t

[homelandpunk]

17. no

you're thinking of a gutte.

[virtualobserver]

20. good answer n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

26. You're thinking of the contents of any current cabinet meeting at the WH:

Chock Full O' Bozos.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

11. He meant NUTS...let's make our policy wonks look macho too

it sells :eyes:

[Cocoa]

13. it sells with Chris Matthews

maybe Clark and Bush can do their debates in Speedos for Tweety and the other Americans concerned about such things.

[VolcanoJen]

18. LMFAO!!

And, thanks (not) for the Speedo visual that now refuses to leave my memory.

:D :D :D

[Padraig18]

12. The full quote was...

""He is brilliant, he is brave. And he's got a sack full of guts."

:)

[Cocoa]

16. Clark should see a doctor about that

sounds like a complication from a ruptured hernia.

[homelandpunk]

21. THAT was funny

I just hope Clark didn't dress up as Santa for the kids during xmas.
"Daddy, what's in....AAAAAAH!!!"

[Bread and Circus]

31. LOL....

Technically, that is the definition of a hernia.

:yourock:

[PurityOfEssence]

14. political persuasion in this country is lowbrow limboing

The essence of this statement is: he's a good old boy who's tougher than a rattlenake and got such a huge dick that your hero worship is a virtual necessity.

Well, lawdy: let's just fry us up a mess o' catfish and hush puppies and shoot us some game. Is this election going to devolve into some big penisfest as we try to outpuff and bluster the Fascists?

[Padraig18]

19. Lighten up, people!

You know very well that the only thing Clinton was doing was saying "This man is worth a look" . :)

[bearfartinthewoods]

22. no, actually i think the previous poster was right and this election

will devolve into a penisfest.

if i were religious i'd pray.

[jonnyblitz]

25. i agree also. n/t

[homelandpunk]

27. which makes me wonder if

Clinton recognizes that, and used bad imagery on purpose.

[homelandpunk]

23. Yeah....

but that is TOO close a look. :)

[bigendian]

24. o.k.

But first I want to see that big ol' sack o' guts first!

[MasonJar]

28. Guts

I do not know about the rest of the country, but in the South "guts" are a good thing to have. It means that you are courageous and stand up against whatever is thrown at you. Actually I thought the phrase was a national idiom; I guess I was wrong.

[sspiderjohn]

30. I thought it was a clever play on words -- complementing Clark's courage

nm

[jonnyblitz]

32. damn. I just realized I had been misreading the subject line til now.

kept reading "nuts" instead of "guts".. :silly:
