6. As someone once said to me, some women are 'fixer-uppers.'
Of course, with Newt, lots of fixing-up would be required.

3. Mr. Frank is hardly the person one would choose to make a moral snark towards the scum Gingrich
Steve Gobie in a glass house and all that..............

More evidence of the overall rot that pervades both sides of the US political sham parties. Hard to believe that the true progressives have not utterly (and rightly so) revolted yet.

Uh... does Frank pretend to be a "family values" kinda politican.... and THEN become friends with Steve Gobie?


There's no reason Frank can't lay on the snark. He's not a hypocrite.
