Nice to see the mud still flying. :yes:
Hey, I was thinking about hooking up with Mark Foley for some underaged male sex. Nah, forget it. I think I'll just read some moronic e-letter from Barbara Boxer. And it looks as if I'm stuck with this middle-aged sex over here. Geez, which would be worse: To have underaged sex, or to join the Republicans? What would I tell the children?

Geez, which would be worse: To vote dem or have your head lobbed off by a terrorist. BTW, if you care to notice, the list I presented was of actual crimes committed. And those were just from Congress. If I presented a full list of perceived crimes committed by the assistant to the assistant to the assistant, like one of you libs did, Sooth's board would crash -- never to recover. |

Grow up. What is wrong with you? Get your head lobbed off by a terrorist? You are a complete idiot.
You are completely classless. [QUOTE=Spirit of Weeb]Geez, which would be worse: To vote dem or have your head lobbed off by a terrorist.

And this was lost on them. Either that or when the assistant DA (a REPUBLICAN!) of Boone County, WI gets caught getting a bj from a teenager in 1982 then it's clearly a pattern with Repukeikkkans! |
