Moran!

[cry baby]

38. repub absolutely going ape sh*t at her

[LizW]

40. He needs to increase the dosage -- or decrease it, I'm not sure.

[librechik]

47. The Pukkke bosses feed heinous lies about dems to the sheeple

and they get mad at the dems over that. Our civic discourse didn't used to be like this. We used to value our differences. It used to be taught in school that the other guy's opinion is as important as yours, that we all work together, despite our differences. I was proud of us for avoiding all the demonization and division that other countries have to suffer. Now we are no more than the lowest, most ignorant 3rd world country. That guy was an example.

I blame the "Republican Revoluition," culminating in 1994 for this. Newt ought to be drawn and quartered--that is if we live in the country he wants to have.

[cry baby]

41. Louise likes Pelosi

[cry baby]

42. caller thinks reps should lose their pensions if they break the law.

[cry baby]

he spins for the right.

[cry baby]

44. oh, brought up watergate, haha

[cry baby]

45. and that is what she left it with, that this is as bad as watergate.

She looked good, kept her cool, and was very effective!! I heart Louise!

[cry baby]

46. It's over, she was wonderful!

Thanks for your time and attention!!:hi:

[cry baby]

48. one last kick just to inform anyone that didn't get to see it.
