* G.E. RUSSERT noticeably turned Rethug when he started boosting LIMBOsevic, giving him pseudo legitimacy, with long interviews that ran muliple times over Thanksgiving holidays. Shrub button under his lapel during Campaign 2000.

* Tweety, we know, gave GORE the bum's rush every damned day throughout Campaign 2000, gave Shrub sex for seven years, only started turning back in Shrub's last year. Gave sex to Mc5planes & countless other Rethug a-holes for years on all those "college tours." Was a flunky in D.C., where flunkies gain power/prestige if their political bosses are WINNERS, and RAYGUN's beating his bosses CARTER/ seduced him into worshipping RAYGUN.

* David RUBENSTEIN, a staffer for CARTER (who had a nest of vipers at his breast), was one of the co-founders of the Carlyle Group. On the positive side, he fired Shrub from the Carlyle board, bought a Magna Carta to donate, and is a great philantropist. But he has also given jobs and tons of cash to B.F.E.E. members through Carlyle.

* Pat CADDELL, another of CARTER's vipers, was credited with CARTER's win, has not had another win ever since, losing for ever single candidate he has worked for, including the New Coke, has been a toady for Faux Propaganda Network, vituperating against Good Dems for years.

* Bob BECKER, works for Faux Propaganda Network, although he sounds like he's still a good Dem.

Dennis is a progressive, are the others? Regardless I am not upset if he goes to faux still_one Jan 2013 #1
