Ben Smith tracks down some beauts, emailed just last Friday by Haley Barbour's press secretary. He detailed some of the events that had occurred on March 11 in history:

Otis Redding posthumously received a gold record for his single, "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay". (Not a big hit in Japan right now.)

In 1993: Janet Reno was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate to become the first female attorney general. (It took longer to confirm her gender than to confirm her law license.)

1. DISgusting

And a lot of people do not know about Haley's racist remark in the 1982 Mississippi senate election.

[merh]

2. Don't kid yourself - they never fire

The guy will have a job at his lobbying firm or in some other capacity for Barbour - don't you know that damned liberals cannot take a joke and hate free speech.

5. ... until a Fox News deal is brokered.

3. She's been out of office 11 years and they're still goin' on about her?

Serious developmental issues some pukes have.

4. Did he "apologize if anyone was offended"?

:puke:

6. They're dropping like flies.

7. Janet Reno?

They're still making jokes about Janet Reno?

Geez, even their JOKES are out-of-date.
