after an apparently brief period of open-mindedness at the end of January, my dad seems to have regressed back into his right-wing hellhole :(

he was quoting some shit from Pat ROBERTSON of all people this morning about the cost of Obama's European trip and how many people he took, etc. i don't know the facts of that b/c frankly, i don't give a shit - the restoration of America's image was priceless as far as i'm concerned.

but i did try and find something that explains the details of the trip so i can at least tell my dad he shouldn't be getting any news from friggin Pat Robertson :eyes: - any help?

thanks in advance :)

12. And it costs even more when they're overseas.

All waste comes home, presumably in well-sealed containers. No shit.

11. Repukes can't change their spots for long.

There's a puke who used to come into the shop who hated John McCain so much she jumped ship and voted for Obama.

Somebody told me the other day she's now hoping Obama dies soon.

Her -----> :crazy:

13. Pat Robertson blamed America for 9/11

a few days after the attacks, along with Jerry Falwell. Bastards.

Of course, you dad might agree with them. Or maybe he's like my dad, for whom blaming America for 9/11 is treasonous and unforgivable -- if you're a Democrat. Republicans get a pass because they "didn't really mean it, they were just trying to make a point".

Good luck.

ETA: I know this wasn't exactly what you were looking for, but it does demonstrate that Robertson is an untrustworthy weasel and is also no patriot.
