So...he jumped before he was pushed? Very classy of WH to offer him the opportunity to MADem Jan 2013 #40

I think they learned from the first go-round, which is good. Hekate Jan 2013 #49

Heck, let a NASCAR driver do the benediction--that'll appeal to the GOP and keep them out of MADem Jan 2013 #50

He must be waiting for Occulus to apologize to him first Capt. Obvious Jan 2013 #86

I read it. I addressed it. I've moved on. Liberal_Stalwart71 Jan 2013 #88
