Re: From The Lie, Cheat Steal Department; Stuart Smalley: I Will Do Anything To Win
the dems want elections decided by anyone but the people. the sue in
court, they run to their brother scum in the senate. they never seem
to trust the people. any party that could actually put that insane
fool frankin in the senate just proves the point they do indeed suffer
from retardation.

Re: From The Lie, Cheat Steal Department; Stuart Smalley: I Will Do Anything To Win
Franken is making an ass of himself. He was at least sometimes amusing
as a comedian. Plus Congress already has enough jokers. There seems to
be a curse on MN senators, etc. Rudy B. vs. Wellstone. Coleman
vs.Mondale plus other offices. Also governors- Ventura. A candidate I
dated back when- though I figured if he could bite a pipe in half over
a silly marriage it was good he lost.

Too good for him Zeb. I suggest we give him a jar of honey. Take him out
in a field. Bury him up to his neck. Give him a jar of honey -- poured over
his head. And leave.
