When he has appeared on national TV, he seemed to be losing his grip.

He overstayed his welcome.

If GOP's Sen. Dick Lugar loses, are Dems prepared to pounce?

to distance themselves from the Teanuts. No kidding, on the local news. And the clown trying to convince everybody was dressed up like Paul Revere. Again, not kidding.

It reminds me of some of my dates back in the 60's. Yeah, they spent some time and money on me...but, when it came time for me to "pay up"...well; it just wasn't gonna happen.

Unlike me at the time, the Tea Nitwits are getting screwed.
