"Hey, that is something y'all need to discuss with old Jimmy Madison"

Yeah, I hate it when folks do that. Make some rules and split the scene.

Can anyone here get him on the horn? I've got a few things I'd like to run by him.

That word again is Interpret(W doing lines in ninth grade and missed that part perhaps?).

Bush made a statement that, in his opinion, the court did not just interpret the law, it rewrote the law. The evidence seems to support his opinion, e.g. changing the date from Nov 14 to Nov 26, in my opinion.

I find it childish of you to accuse him of snorting cocaine because his opinion differs with yours.

Hi Greg,

Re: W doing lines in ninth grade and missed that part perhaps?). INTERPRET.

Let me interpolate and interrupt. GWB was at the Al Smith Charity Dinner in NYC during the campaign. Once again, he was doing lines. He reflected upon his time at Yale and compared and contrasted his undergrad years to those of William F. Buckley, another 'emeritus' graduate of Yale.

GWB said: "Mr. Buckley wrote a book while at Yale, I read one. Mr. Buckley started the Conservative Party while at Yale, I started a lot of parties, too."

Pretty good lines, I certainly smiled. :)
-Ray

Good one Greg, I like it...but you are

confusing Dubya with Drew Barrymore...she was doing lines at nine years old.

As far as whinning, that would be Gore. "Oh, I lost, boo hoo hoo, somebody please save me, my Daddy said I was destined to be President, boo hoo."

The rules are the same for everyone...."All animals are equal, except that some animals are more equal than others."
Rule written by the pigs in Animal Farm. A group (the pigs) that gore wants so desperately to join.

Tell me Greg, why do you think it is only Gore voters who don't seem to be able to put a hole in a piece of paper? Are they weak and feeble? Stupid and incompetent? Unable to bring themselves to actually vote for the boring version of Clinton? What do ya think?
