Actually it is not a typo. The 'D' stands for Dumbass, which is of course being polite to this guy. Fox news is not allowed to use the other 'D' word, as it has beened deemed obscene to them.CapnK wrote:do you see the typo in this picture?

I can't believe you did or are proud of such a stunt....
Another great example of our tax dollars at work....![]()

I just don't think acting that immature is going to solve any problems. And when a public servant thinks they have the right to make phone calls like that on taxpayer dollars...it smacks of the same thing you're saying about not wanting to take it anymore.

we don't know if he will ever hold office again. Remember the quote, "you won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore"... 8 years later, he was running the country. (now granted, that had more to do with losing an election than sending IMs begging for virtual kisses from a former, under-18, subordinate, but in politics...)Wino you know wrote:He's being investigated, and will never hold a public office again.

IT may not solve the problem... but if enough people show their dissatisfaction - even if in their own creative way..... that might wake some people up. Whether he calls and says " I can't believe my tax dollars are going to this c-man flirting with young men on company time" - or whether or not he shouts out "doesn't anyone in Congree like women anymore???" - the same message is getting across and we have a right to call up and let our feelings known. I just see the latter as more humorous more than immature - I think sometimes we almost have to use humor to get through these times that make us so mad. I guess being woman or not doesn't matter - I just didn't see how it was wasting tax dollars - whoever answered the phone knows that there is an angry constituent out there. They will probably change the number in a week anyway.....

Unfortunately the old saying "Psychiatry has made a whore of the Law" is more and more true these days. He will go to rehab, be cured of his prior molestation issues and run again as a changed man. And the worst part, there are plenty of morons who will buy it and vote for him.

If that a-hole ever holds ANY elected office again, I'll walk through downtown Chicago wearing a pair of SPEED-Os.
It IS comforting to know he'll never be elected to anything again, but, at the same time, it's scary to think there are still people who'd vote for him.
When Richard Nixon made his statement "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore," it was 1962, he'd just lost the governor's race for the state of California, and (at the time) he'd committed no crime.
Other than LYING-he's a politician. It's what they (most of them) DO.
Remember too-Mrs. Bill Clinton says she's only concentrating on running for re-election to the U.S. Senate and has no presidential asperations at this time.
If SHE doesn't run, I'll ALSO walk through downtown Chicago wearing Speed-O's.
Scary to know people would vote for HER too.

It was a little Cocker Spaniel dog in a crate that he'd sent all the way from Texas. Black and white and spotted, and our little girl Tricia, the six year old named it Checkers. And you know, the kids like all kids love the dog and I just want to say this right now that regardless of what they say about it, we're gonna keep him.RinglingRingling wrote:we don't know if he will ever hold office again.
