I really needed that. My blood pressure and heart rate can go only so fast. I called Portman of OH and hollered at some pisshole, "You're a loser. Why? Your party is cruel and vile. I wouldn't doubt that Portman prays to Lucifer every night.'

Then I hung up on him as he was trying to be condescending....he's lucky I didn't whistle into the phone.

Oh, and Portman has NO OPINION on VAWA since it is not slated to come to the floor.

They really do go to great lengths to compensate for the small penis (post at TPM).
