stuff like that :)

I did use an olive drab font though :)

[Hepburn]

50. That pic is now part of a screen saver program I have~

That is one of the funniest things I have ever seen! :rofl:

[JackORoses]

77. try this on for size

[SoCalDem]

78. Oooh I like it.. Thanks

:)

[Political Heretic]

39. lol wow.

[SoCalDem]

41. uh..oh.. She's not gonna like that..one bit

[Divernan]

58. Can you have "her" holding a beerstein in 1 hand and a shot of Crown Royal in the other?

or maybe holding a shotgun in one hand and a brace of dead little duckies in the other?

As a long time feminist (taught women's studies at Pitt in the 70's for starters), I find Hillary's wasting her considerable potential & Yale law degree riding her husband's career/coattails for most of her life quite pathetic. What a terrible example for young women, i.e., to live your life through a man. And what's with women who are so desperate to see HRC elected that they are blind to her considerable shortcomings? You think maybe they depend on her to justify their own self-worth instead of going out and making their own contributions and achievements?

[SoCalDem]

63. nope.. I barely got the face centered

I'm a dunce at photo-shoppy things.. :rofl:

I too, don't see why some women are all ga-ga over her.. Shes a rich politician BEFORE she's a woman..at least in my eyes..

The fact that she's a woman would NEVER sway me..and I'm a 59 yr old woman..

She's the WORST example..

stay with a cheating husband because he can help your career
use HIS achievements to bolster YOUR resume'..

sorry..that's no women's libber..

had she divorced him, and truly done it on her own..and run for senator from Illinois or Arkansas, I would have definetly taken a 2nd look at her..

[cliffordu]

64. You REALLY need to make what you just wrote an original post!!!!

:patriot:

[Divernan]

66. I would if I could, but I have zilch photoshopping skills.

[SoCalDem]

79. They will call the "Secrest" service & the FBI on me again

:rofl:

[Hepburn]

42. Too funny!

Wonder if they brought pots and pans with them? :rofl:

[dancingme]

43. the rest will call her at 3AM

:scared:

[greguganus]

45. I think they meant "100 mares for Hillary". She is in Amish country ya' know. n/t

[SoCalDem]

49. Like " Two Mules for Sister Sarah"..or "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall"

:rofl:

[Buzz Clik]

89. That would be an easy mistake to make.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

90. 100 mares for SISTER Hillary, with clint Eastwood leading the charge.

[berni_mccoy]

47. Oh My. Time for a Drink.

[ericgtr]

51. Oh my KO is going to have a field day with this one

:rofl:

[Eurobabe]

53. hte rest were too bitter to attend. n/t

[DarienComp]

55. To be fair, 14 mayors can look like 100 mayors when you're sloshed on Crown Royal

[bigbrother05]

56. Thanks for the laugh guys

funniest post today

[Zachstar]

57. Holy moly! That is quite a difference!

Mayors for Clinton rally draws small turnout

The Associated Press

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Turnout at a "100 Mayors for Hillary" rally in Harrisburg was a little under 20 percent.

Only 19 mayors of small and medium-sized Pennsylvania cities showed up for Tuesday's rally in the rotunda of the Pennsylvania Capitol. Other mayors' names were listed on placards supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Harrisburg Mayor Stephen Reed spoke for the group.

Reed criticized Clinton's rival, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, for saying at a San Francisco fundraiser last week that some voters in small towns in Pennsylvania cling to guns or religion because of their frustration over their economic circumstances.

Reed called Obama's comments "divisive and condescending" and said small-town values are the bedrock of American values.

http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/state/pennsylvania/17741139.html

TPM has a link about it here: http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/04/one_hundred_pennsylvania_mayor.php

It seems this was originally going to be a standard endorsement thing and was held for maximum stupidity...

I won't even hazard a guess as to how many total mayors there are in a state of 12.5 million people! Certainly no mandate here. :rofl:

[Debi]

65. 20%? That's pretty good turnout for a primary

:7

[BumRushDaShow]

68. You got that right!

Of late, one is lucky to get 10%! :rofl:

[Divernan]

82. Good point! There are 2,566 mayors in PA, and they only got 19!

Local government in Pennsylvania is a mosaic of 5,149 individual units. All were established by the state or provincial government and operate under the laws of the Commonwealth. Each unit is distinct and independent of other local units, although they may overlap geographically and may act together to serve the public.

In January 2003, there were 67 counties, 56 cities, 961 boroughs, one incorporated town, 1,548 townships (91 first class; 1,457 second class), 501 school districts and 2,015 authorities.

[DerekJ]

92. You're kidding .. 2,500 + Mayors. And they got 19!!!

That's like 1/2 a percent !!! :rofl:

[high density]

62. She's attacking herself with silly stuff like this

I love it.

[greguganus]

67. I counted 9,903 cities, towns, and communities in PA. n/t

[BumRushDaShow]

70. I've been trying to get a good figure because not all have mayors...

Most of the small ones have a set of "Commissioners" (or equivalent) that run the town or townships (which are a conglomerate of towns).

But even so, what is the 100? Like 0.01%? :rofl:

[Buzz Clik]

75. You counted all of them? Okey dokey.

(even more amazing is she only got 14 endorsements)

[Divernan]

83. Not quite. According to the Local Govt. Commission, there are 2,566.

69. Man - that's even painful for me to think about.

Looking forward to seeing the coverage on this.

[Buzz Clik]

71. Well... 100 (base 4) would be 16 (base 10). Maybe that was the point of confusion.

[Political Heretic]

73. LOL elitist nerd humor!

[BumRushDaShow]

74. !!!!!!

:rofl: (for the mathie in me that I try to bury)

[msallied]

76. New math... newwww math. LOL!

[scheming daemons]

80. Hillary is winning if we use binary! Woot!

[Debi]

84. Yeah, forget counting only the states with R in the names! n/t

[Bad Thoughts]

98. 10011 Mayors for Hillary? eom

[uponit7771]

96. Frak that !!! :-)

[Buzz Clik]

99. Hillary always converts to base 4 after a weekend of hard drinking. Keeps her sharp.

[City Lights]

72. Hillaryous!

:rofl:

[babylonsister]

85. It was 19; here's a link:

April 15, 2008 2:27 PM

100 Pennsylvania Mayors formally jumped on the Clinton bandwagon. (Well, the 100th did, anyway. Officially.)

(And yes, before you ask, the "100" does include Mayor Stanley Zamerowski of Pringle, PA, population 991.)

Unfortunately for Clinton, ABC News' Eloise Harper points out, only 19 of the 100 Mayors showed up at the big event in Harrisburg today.

Per the AP, the other 81 mayors' names were listed on placards.

[AtomicKitten]

87. Darn. That falls short of being able to call it "tens of mayors."

[Hailtothechimp]

101. It is just a little bit shy of being a score of mayors. n/t

[knixphan]

86. one more

[DerekJ]

93. LOL

:spray:

[Elidor]

94. Damn. I guess Obama better hang it up

This kind of momentum is impossible to stop.

[Symarip]

95. Even their publicity stunts are LOL'lercoasters

Oh, the lulz.

[smiley_glad_hands]

100. Her campaign is full of lolcats. eom
