Yeah, but James Galbraith has it going on.
Jesse for President!
Jesse: I don't know that I would have done a better job than Bush, frankly, because I would have spent all my time avoiding work with you people!
megan walker: Talking how you hate your cow-orker the Vice President, wondering what Speaker Pelosi would look like in a corset, and complaining about how the White Chef chef puts cilantro in everything?
brenda m: Oh, yeah. Can you picture President Jesse lecturing Congress? "You're going to just need to work it out in the thread. Don't make me Marcie your asses." And press conferences. "I've consulted with my Gang of Fourteen and we are in agreement: national F2F will be in Miami. Book early - rooms are going to be a bitch. Also: am not cowgirl. That is all."
Sophia Brooks: I am actually picturing President Jesse speaking to Congress IN the cowgirl costume.
Trudy Booth: It's because she's so real and folksy that the electorate connected with her. Who doesn't love a cowgirl?

It had to be done.
Gud: I'm finding the "Swedish Solution" to the crisis interesting...
tommyrot: I'm just scared of all the bad jokes it will spawn....
amych: What, just because we all know that the economy is bork bork borked?

You know, reading Fay's post re: her student and the newspaper made me realize how utterly WEIRD it was to think MR. McCain/MR. Obama.
Daniel C. Jensen
No! No slashing!
Daniel C. Jensen: Can Sarah Palin say the word "maverick" more? I keep expecting James Garner to come onscreen and tell her to stop.

Billytea: I suspect the GOP's polling says [Cheney]'s about as popular as scrapie right now. He needs to do something to make the people fear and respect him again. Maybe he should shoot a man in Reno just to watch him apologise.
Tom Scola:
Whenever I get a label maker, the first thing I usually do is make a label that says "label maker".
