Reply #24: Almost got into a fistfight over Pelosi this morning!

[alanquatermass]

There's this Rethug who lives down the hall from me, a real Neanderthal-type. Anyway, there I am at 9 AM, stepping onto the elevator when he goes "Hold the door" and comes running over, kind of winded from the 12 yard jog (did I mention he was 300 lbs?). So the doors close and we're both heading down to the lobby when he looks over and sees Pelosi's name on the front cover of the "Mother Jones" I was carrying. He kinda smirks at it and goes, "Pelosi, huh? Guess there's one 'tard who's gonna need a job in a couple weeks. Wonder if Denny's is hiring."

I go, "'Tard'?! You saying Sarah Palin's any smarter?"

He goes, "Pretty hard to be dumber."

I go, "Maybe...but that's not what I asked. Is Palin any SMARTER?"

He couldn't answer me (of course). He just kind of smirked again as the doors opened and he shuffled off.

I was ready to kill the guy.
