| Is "Sen. Macacawitz" a DU original?? |
|
Richard Clarke said it Friday night on Real Time with Bill Mahr. He leaned over towards Robin Williams at about the 40 minute mark or so and said "From where I live, which is Virginia, we call him Senator Macacawitz"
:rofl:
I searched DU but I don't see that anyone mentioned that and I can't find a really old post with "Macacawitz" in it. I didn't bookmark the thread the first time I saw it-sorry- so is it a DU original or did is start somewhere else out there in the tubes of the internets?
