5. I heard they are measuring the drapes, counting the silverware

7. Yup, especially the fumigators! Oh, yes! The drapes can wait. nt

12. They'll need new drapes due to all the mysterious Laura Bush sized cut-outs in them.

15. Let her keep the remaining drapes.

She may need a new outfit when they make their final departure for the pig farm.

14. I've been wondering about fumigators.

I'd think they would be absolutely necessary. That and new everything.

3. "...the promise of change over the power of the status quo."

That's it, Baby! Can't wait to see/hear this. I've got no cable (I refuse to pay for propaganda) so will have to catch it online. Hope it's streamed.

8. Im sure it'll be all over Hulu and Utube

and 1000 other places

the white house drapes...

[BumRushDaShow]

10. OMG that Carol Burnett Show ep was classic!

[jasmeel]

13. Twas actually from Gone With the Wind but Burnett did a

hilarious take on it.

[Triana]

9. Is this a separate event from the 30 Mins of airtime he bought on Oct. 29th?

Sounds like it is.

I'm confussed.

[Scooter24]

11. Yes...

the "closing argument" speech will take place the day before the election. Next Monday.
