RE: Subject
After, "If you have to ask, you can't afford", classic put downs start
going down hill IMHO.
BTW, nice but far from complete list, especially of Churchill.

Wonder what the response of the AM radio crowd was?
It's too good a troll for them to pass on.

Nah, to be funny humor has to have a little truth in it.

Nah, to be funny humor has to have a little truth in it.
But, they *don't* swim. ;)
Maybe that wasn't what she had in mind, though.
Funny how that entered /your/ mind, though.
But I shouldn't be surprised, having listened to Limbaugh, Beck and
their ilk.
========> > How did I get there? Was it inbred ignorance fueled by a lifetime of
racist
hatred? Or was it just finding legs for a lame attempt at humorous insult
quoting a hollow, empty political sound byte?
Are you THAT misogynistic? Hillary can't say anything of substance
because she is a woman?
=============> Every now and again, you have to stop, shake your head, and ask "where did
that come from?" I had to parse this one 4 times. Let me save you some
anxiety: On this half of the continent, "sound byte" does NOT mean "woman.."
Some other day, you'll have to tell us about the women in your life, and how
you came to hold that opinion.
Dunno, you tell me. Aside from
the inappropriately nonsecular reference and the snipish quality of her
outburst, just what humor is there in your quote? What grain of truth did
you find that makes it both humorous and a good troll?
Ask the people who thought it funny enough to laugh.
Oh, and the non secular reference was brought to you by those who
tagged your president as Obamasiah.... and that's a moniker which did
not originate on the left.
Get it?
=========> No, not yet, and I don't think we're headed there. I found it snipish. You
found it humorous but don't know why. Fair enough.
*I* know why I thought it was funny... because it *is* funny. Every
time I see a right-winger squirm, I laugh.
Quote: Tell me who held up the
cue card to laugh and I'll ask them.
And that is NOT snipish?
Are you one of those not practicing what thou preacheth kinda people?
Anyway, I don't think that I have the skills or desire or patience to
teach somebody to laugh, so...have a nice 'take-yourself-serious' day.

On Tue, 11 Aug 2009 11:19:50 -0400, the infamous RLM <rlm at (no spam) 127.0.0.1>
scrawled the following:
Quote: "He can compress the most words into the smallest idea of any man I know."
-- Abraham Lincoln --
If he were still around today, he could honestly say that about every
last one of our CONgresscritters.
--
"Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free
than Christianity has made them good." --H. L. Mencken
