Bill Clinton's stains? That's gross!

Yes… “The stains of Bill Clinton were indeed washed away… with the blood stains of 4000+ American men and women who have died in Iraq because someone threatened my daddy… and Halliburton needed a boost on the market.”
Love,
Dubya

Not to worry. Bush Derangement Syndrome is a terminal disease, though some form of mutation/transference to McCain is possible and incipient signs have already appeared. But very likely in December and January this year, a massive die off of BDS sufferers will occur. They will simply waste away, babbling and cursing like sufferers of the similar Tourettes Syndrome,unable to eat or sleep and convinced that a last-minute coup d'etat will be launched by the rethugs.

Zhombre! That was a well thought out and articulated comment. Good to read from you again!

Not to worry. Reality Derangement Syndrome is a terminal disease, though some form of denile/transference to McSame is possible and incipient signs have already appeared. But very likely in December and January this year, a massive die off of RDS sufferers will occur. They will simply waste away, babbling and cursing like McSame often does, unable to eat or sleep and convinced that a last-minute coup d'etat will be launched by Katherin Harris, Bob Allen, Zhombre, Donald Lance, and Larry Craig.

Sorry, bud, but you're not cogent, nor do you matter. Next time try to be more original instead of merely aping what others write.

And I thought the dress was preserved for possible DNA testing...

Zhombie, count me it. I've been infected, me and about 70% of the voters in the US. And we know just how to get the relief we crave. You'd better hope some kind of die-off occurs before November, cause right now, we're alive, well, and voting in record numbers. And my hand IS twitching. So long Zhombie.

To all the dead-ender Ds out there who still see Diebold conspiracy theories from 2000 -- GET OVER IT. You LOST! Even the consortium of newspapers (who checked every single hanging chad) agreed. Al Gore lost. Lost. LOST!
Next time, don't nominate an arrogant sanctimonious liberal elite as your candidate.
Oops. Sorry. Too late.

I supplied HBO with 150+ props used in the movie, including the voting machines in the opening scene, as well as ballot boxes, transfer cases, etc.

5:59 - do you by any chance have the butterfly ballot from 2000 that was introduced by the DEMOCRAT superviser of elections that confused DEMOCRAT voters?
DEMOCRATS always create the problems and republicans gotta clean up their mess while the willing media points fingers at republicans blaming them

All these movies are bombing at the box office. No one is paying to see them, lol.
Good try Hollywood elitists.

Here's a photo of actor Kevin Spacey, who has the lead in HBO's Recount, taking advice and direction from of one his heroes:

Zombe... you're a dope. Stop drinking the koolaid, do youself a favor and try independent thought patterns... it'll do you good... kind of like milk, ya know.
Posted by: | April 26, 2008 at 09:55 PM
Well thanks for the admonishment -- dope is one of the nicer things I've been called, and you're cute too -- but I've found that when people urge you to think independently, they generally mean "Why you don't you conform to the way I think?"
Posted by: Zhombre | April 27, 2008 at 09:10 AM
Heard spacey was a jerk while in t-town. Oh yeah, gore actually won, he just failed to to challenge the right districts -- so actually he lost...

That's D-Day from Animal House playing Mac.

Yeah, Bruce McGill, a very good character actor but he's gotten typecast as the heavy and this role appear to be no different. Actually this production features several very good actors. Laura Dern, Tom Wilkinson among them. I don't know how heavy-handed or even-handed this production will be but will reserve judgment while suspecting the former.
And back to 9:55 -- the closest to koolaid drinkers this election are the Obamites drinking up his charisma and recycled liberal pieties like old wine in new bottles.

Imagine what it will take to wash away the stain of Clueless Gorge. “Martha better get some more soap!”
