1 They're only condemning their stupid base.

2 Well they didn't bother to check him out before hand thinking there was no way anyone would vote for him so they figure if they treat him like they did Palin maybe he will go away since he is a Dem. and most of them are chickenshits.

3 The time to dog this guy was before the primary.  Someone fell down.

4 Charlie Crist is hardly any better.  Greene may not be as smart as Crist, but at least he's earnest and not a lyin' SOS.

5 I remember Marion Barry. Oh, how we laughed.

6 As big an idiot as this guy is...he's just as qualified as Obammmie

7 I don't think this was a mix up. The African-America community in SC was told that they had to vote for the black candidate and that it would be historic last election. Why wouldn't that be true in this election? Experience didn't matter, it was the historicalness of the man, the color, and that he was a democrat. So why not Green? SC has almost triple the percentage of African Americans than the national average. So they could easily carry the ticket if that's who they wanted. It's who they wanted.

8

wow, I never saw any CNN talking heads put Blago on the hot seat like they did to this guy. Why do they think it was a Republican plot that Greene won? The word probably got out on the Black church grapevine to vote for him. African-American churches are still pretty influential in the community.

9 The real crime is Don Lemon being allowed on TV.

10 Why are they so surprised that SC blacks voted for the black guy? Did the SC Dem machine think they were in complete control of them? Did they not give them permission to vote for this guy and therefore didn't think that they would? Or the alternate theory that their voter fraud machine was being tested.

11 Speaking of Toonces, he'll be giving another address about the oil spill Tuesday night.

12 Well, you know how the saying goes - the only thing more effed up than the Reps in SC are the Dems in SC.

13 I haven't seen anyone point out that if Greene can keep it going until November, he might stand to make some money for appearing on entertainment shows as a sort of celeb-curiosity.


The biggest mystery to me is what is his motivation for doing this.  Is he depressed and bitter and this is his way of mischievously lashing out?

14 Where was the tough Don Lemon interview with Cynthia McKinney?  She's at least as ignorant sounding and acting as Alvin Greene.

15 I don't think Democrats can actually be embarassed.They don't have any sense of shame.

16 I can't stand that reporter.  He's the one who got the orgasmic look on his face when he asked about Obama's trip to Africa if the response was unprecedented.  And then you can just watch his heart just sink when the lady said "No this is pretty much the exact same response Bush got."

17 11 In prime time of course.

18 What's interesting is the proposition that other Dems can be tainted with this guy; guilt by association; destroy the Dem brand....

19 Lemon says the New York Times ran a story saying Greene was a plant by the Republicans. Did they run such a story?

20

"they're the knuckleheads"

Don Lemon is going out of his way to prove that Greene is mentally impaired. He keeps asking him if he's "alright right now, but you don't sound alright...why are you laughing?" hmmm... I recall a Steve Croft 60 minutes interview during which those questions would have been appropriate. And he wasn't sitting across a democrat candidate for senate.

21 Who the fuck is this Don Lemone twit?

22 Could you imagine the shitstorm if a Fox reporter asked a Dem candidate if they are mentally sound?

23 Nope.

24 I don't see a bit of difference between this guy and Obama.  They both lack the ability to reason.  One just uses prettier words.  Liberals like pretty words because they are easily distracted.  They make the mistake of thinking beauty of expression and sound reasoning are synonymous.

25 14. Cynthia McKinney didn't rate that kind of treatment from the MFM because she was able to win. The only reason they're being mean to Greene is that they know he's an electoral no-hoper and they want to pull the same crap Democrats always pull these days when they nominate a crook or a dolt: pretend that they never held a primary and let the good ol' boys in the smoke-filled room anoint a candidate.

I just assume they're not, liberalism is a persistent vegetative state.

27 They're just feeling salty that they spent so much time obsessing over the tea party effect on primaries and how 'extreme' the right has become that they got caught with their pants around their ankles (with the cucumber halfway up their own ass, even) before noticing who they landed on their own side of the ballot.

28


When life hands you a Don Lemon, you make Lemonade

29 RAMMING SPEED!!!

30 16 I can't stand that reporter.  He's the one who got the orgasmic look on his face when he asked about Obama's trip to Africa if the response was unprecedented.  And then you can just watch his heart just sink when the lady said "No this is pretty much the exact same response Bush got."

Didn't remember that was the same jerk reporter, thanks for the remind. 

I couldn't listen to more than half the phone interview.  Greene is so in over his head.  But it was funny hearing the reporter have to explain to Greene that you can't use the "no comment" excuse as a public figure. 

31

Is Don Lemon the guy who was stunned at the Olympic committee vote -

"Chicago is...OUT???? Chicago is OUTTT??!??"

32

I can think of at least 20 or 30 sitting democrat office holders less entitled to high office than this guy.  Alcee Hastings anybody?

Clyburn is shameless.

33

The other question is- why do they care?  The reason he won, despite an almost complete lack of campaigning or name recognition, is that it was an unimportant race.

Unless DeMint gets caught with a dead girl or live boy, he's a shoe-in.

As for Greene, even though he doesn't have a hope in hell of winning, I have to imagine that winning a primary comes with some nice perks.  As stated in Murphy's Laws of Combat:  If it's stupid but it works, it ain't stupid.

34 She's at least as ignorant sounding and acting as Alvin Greene.

I dunno. McKinney is a bag of hammers and a box of rocks.

35 What are the chances that Alvin Greene really is the product of a Democratic conspiracy?

A Democrat boss was looking for a way to get past November Voter Anger. He simply made a bet: find a guy who is very malleable, sped $10,500 to get his name on the ballot, then do nothing but drink beer until the primary is over.

Who knew this bet would pay off?

Greene's essentially unassailable; to run attack ads against him is to raise a lot of sympathy votes for him. Spanking him in a debate or two will be a real tragi-comedy;viewers will leave or change channels en-masse rather than watch Greene take a beating.

#8 kallisto has a point. I suspect that the word that Greene was black was enough to get him a lot of votes; no need to see or hear the man. probably no reason to even mention him specifically in church.

36

Lemon looks like he isn't enjoying the Party

37 Maybe the Dims can handle Alvin Greene in the same way Michael Corleone took care of Moe Green(e).

38

@31

Yeah I wish I could find the video.  I thought it was linked here once but I can't remember.

39 19. The NYT quoted Rep. Clyburn - he's the one who speculated that Greene is a GOP plant. What no one seems to be able to explain is how the mass of Democrat voters in South Carolina could be so breathtakingly stupid that they voted for Greene. The problem, it seems to me, isn't the nominee, it's the cretins who nominated him. Swapping him for a hand-picked candidate won't miraculously raise the IQ of SC Democrat voters.

40 24 I don't see a bit of difference between this guy and Obama.

Military Service
Heterosexual
Christian (I think, what is he??)
Honestly unemployed instead of  left wing agitator

41

Let's list the reasons why this guy is actually a better candidate than Obama. I'll start:

1. He was probably born in the U.S. to two American parents

2. He grew up in the U.S.

3. He has work experience

4. He's not married to Michelle

5. He might have criminal friends but they probably didn't write a book for him

6. We're sure he's straight

42 My wife's family is from South Carolina and have been there since before the Civil War and are now embarrassed as hell about it.
They're now claiming that they're really from Southern North Carolina.

43 Sad, but inevitable.

44

@Dagny

Yeah but how does he handle a teleprompter?

45 He's not that articulate. or clean.

46 Can't Obamaa just, like, offer him a high level job in the White House to drop out of the race?

47 This guy is growing on me! He's not smooth or polished (and he might be a sex offender) but listen to his answers. They're clumsy but honest. The reporter said two local lawmakers said he was a moron and Al said "name them". The reporter didn't and Al said "name them" again! Finally the reporter did and Al said "they're the morons!" (all quotes paraphrased). (if it wasn't for the sex offender charge) this is a regular guy!

48 Clyburn says Greene is a plant with no evidence. Hmm. Didn't Clyburn say tea-partiers shouted racial epitaphs at him at the Capitol? Where was his evidence there?

49 45 My wife's family is from South Carolina and have been there since before the Civil War and are now embarrassed as hell about it.
They're now claiming that they're really from Southern North Carolina.

Heh.  Up until the past few weeks, I've always thought of Southern Carolina as a normal place, Grahamnasty being the exception.

52 38. At least we now see how Chauncey Gardiner would have been treated by the MFM.

53 47 That's the problem. Has anyone given him his answers on a telepromter?   Noooo. Is that fair? No. With a teleprompter and a few knowledgable socialists, he could be at least as good as Doctor Kickass.

Like Rangel, Frank, Murtha, Jefferson, Geitner, etc..

75 Little side note about South Carolina. It was their insane firing on Ft. Sumpter that propelled the Civil War into the history books. Those people were nutty and rabid....I wonder if there are genes for that?

76

I'm sick of being the stupidest person in the Senate.  Please elect Allen Grean!

77 60. But how did Greene sneak in under the party radar? Simple: the Democrat Party leadership in SC assumed that Democrat voters in that state had IQs somewhere north of room temperature. That was their fatal mistake. Apparently any SC voter with a functioning brain knows enough to vote Republican. It doesn't automatically follow, however, that all SC GOP voters are geniuses.

Ah, didn't mean to imply that Lemon couldn't use that, but it's still not a good idea.  Goes to show how green Greene is at the who political game. 

As for Lemon's hostility towards a "fellow" Dem, it's obvious that Lemon would rather see Greene out as to not hurt the Dems chances in SC even further. 

Which is futile anyway because, as has been posted many times, the only way DeMint isn't winning is if he's caught with a live girl or a dead boy.

86

It doesn't automatically follow, however, that all SC GOP voters are geniuses.

Are you talkin about me?

87 My personal theory is that so many Democrat voters are trained to just vote straight party ticket (which I believe they still do in SC) that when they actually have to mark names there is no telling how they'll chose. Like the lady said, just the first name on the ballot or it could be one that sounds familiar, etc.

88 The Democrats are desperately trying to find a way to delegitimatize the election.  This is very important.  Just because they don't like the results, doesn't mean they get to change the outcome.  The man was elected.  He's their candidate.  I haven't had a single person I voted for in the primary run in the general since Reagan.  That doesn't mean that I get do-overs because I don't like the candidate.  Bush, Dole, Bush, and McCain spring to mind.  Greene won the election. 

As ye sow, so shall ye reap (just to get a little biblical on the whole thang)

Hey Don Lemon, you know what they say, when life hands you a Lemon, you throw a LEMON PARTY !

94 "The official set of instructions from the MFM appear to be "run him into the ground to make him leave". So they're dogging him, not me."

Yeah, but that's why there's a sudden media blitz on this guy.  They want to show how "serious" the Democrats are compared to the Republicans.

95 BTW, I think SC is an open primary state.

96 I'll have to have a chat with the young man if he makes it and give him a sniff.

97 61. They will, and without irony they will say that he has a sacred obligation to make them public because the office of US Senator is the highest in the land... in the legislative branch. And even if someone actually asked a Don Lemon on camera why Al Greene should have to answer questions about his past when Barack Obama never did, he won't see the two situations as connected at all, so deep is his cognitive dissonance and ideological bias.

Does SC require signatures? I'm sure the reasoning is the same.  If you are serious about running you will either pony up the fee or get the signatures.  Honestly I like the idea of a fee better.  If you do the signatures you have to have people verify them, and then people can attempt to get you thrown off the ballot by claiming you don't have enough valid signatures.  A filing fee could be used to go to the funding of the election.

SCOTUS says a signature drive can substitute.

That's a perfect example of what is wrong with SCOTUS. They're MAKING law in this example.

103 This is just a train wreck, but I don't expect the story to develop until we find out who put up the $10k.

104 Whoa there, Dagny.

105 I've been trying to think of what the dems angle was in this primary.

It has been pointed out that there were some "irregularities" in the votes cast.  I'm wondering if the dems were fiddling with the vote machine they have down there, and fucked something up.  Like maybe they were testing something new for the post primary vote, and fucked something up.

106 103 see #7. I bet they elected him by color. They came out in the last election for that reason, why not this one?

107 A Democrat boss was looking for a way to get past November Voter Anger. He simply made a bet: find a guy who is very malleable, sped $10,500 to get his name on the ballot, then do nothing but drink beer until the primary is over.

My theory is that it was a plant and a dirty trick by the Dems. They knew they had virtually no chance to beat DeMint. The were pushing Vic Rawls from Charleston and figured everyone would go right along with that.

So they give this guy the money to file and telly him to run. The idea being that after Rawls won the actual campaign would get underway. In late Oct they would drag this guy out and accuse the Republicans of trying to throw the election and violations of campaign finance rules. Hopefully this would be enough to temporarily throw a wrench in DeMint's capaign.

The scheme back-fired and the nobody won. The Dem party had started believing their own rhetoric and forgot that blacks will vote for blacks over whites 99.9% of the time.

The Rawls campaign has until Monday at noon to file the protest. What's more the protest has to be based on something other than gossip and innuendo.  So far that's all they have unless they admit to the violations themselves.

108 Go, Dagny. Where's Vic we we need 'im? Yo, y'all.

109 The Dems think he will bow out like Scott Lee Cohen did in the IL LT Gov race.

110 the protest has to be based on something other than gossip and innuendo.  So far that's all they have unless they admit to the violations themselves.

112 89. If the theory is that Democrats in SC voted for this unknown because they thought he was the Rev. Al Green, shouldn't the Republicans have voted for Andre Bauer thinking he was Andre Braugher?

113

Hollowpoint, they care because he's embarrassing them.  He's an obviously flawed candidate, an idiot (not to be harsh but cmon), and he crept in under the party radar.

Yeah, I get that- they don't want to admit that their own electorate played by the "identity politics" rules the Democrats have so carefully crafted.

But why intentionally draw so much attention to the guy if he's such an embarrassment (and he is) to them?  Wouldn't it be easier to keep this guy hidden under a rock and try and polish him up a bit?

Even if they were to get their wish and get Greene drop out of the race, the damage is done- how is the black community in SC going to react if the Dem establishment forces out the black candidate who (apparently) won the primary in favor of the white guy who lost?

Why magnify the embarrassment by putting the spotlight on Greene when they have no chance of winning with either candidate anyways?

114 It has been pointed out that there were some "irregularities" in the votes cast.

That was a story pushed by the Dems and the press was glad to repeat it for them. Subsequent investigation shows that the counts that were claimed to be irregular were not and the differences in write vs election day were not out of the ordinary.

In other words, there was nothing to it.

Yes but you left out the brilliance of Rep. Hank Johnson's D. GA. When he expressed his concern that Guam may tip over if we add more military to out bases.

143 Hank Johnson needs me to help him keep Guam from tipping over, capsizing.

You two are gonna have one hell of a time deciding upon which end of the island you both need to stand on to keep it from tipping.

Yeah but they can't claim that because they like to pretend there is no racial issues in elections except for white people refusin to vote for a black Democrat.  That is the only kind of racism in their world.

145

Very few of the people who actually fought in the Confederate Army owned slaves either.

My college professor told me that 89.7% of southerners owned slaves.  You lie!

If, IF, there is some sort of plant conspiracy, then this is where the whole genius of it is.  They'll start calling for that stuff and Greene will cry foul of the MFM for having double standards for this little ol' Senate candidate vs. the Presidential candidate.  I think he's priming them for those kinds of inquiries.  This could be very entertaining, indeed.  That this "knucklehead" will be asking very simple questions THE WHOLE COUNTRY WANTS ANSWERS TO.

It was their insane firing on Ft. Sumpter that propelled the Civil War into the history books.

--Yeah, Appalachia was very strongly divided.  Very few of the people there owned slaves, and since they were mostly poor had little in common with the large plantation owners in other ways as well.  That's why West Virginia broke away from Virginia.

Even parts of Mississippi were pro-Union, such as Pontotoc county way up in the northeast and around Jones County. Much of eastern Mississippi is hilly, was full of poor white farmers without good cotton land, and there were few slaves.

Typical lesson plans of the Civil war in American schools.

Fort Sumter,  Begins the war

Jefferson Davis Confederate President

Robert E Lee Genius general that hated slaves and turned down Lincoln's offer to serve the Union

Union keeps havin incompetent generals

Gettysburg

Emancipation Proclomation

Grant becomes Union Lead general

Sherman burns Atlanta

Appamatox Courthouse ends the war

Lincoln is shot

 

Its not the accuracy of what is said so much as what is ommitted.

 

164 This MFM stuff with Forest Greene is damage control. Something happened that wasn't supposed to happen.

169 The area around New Braunfels, Texas, south of Austin, as well as the entire Hill Country, was largely settled by socialist German escapees from the violent 1848 revolutions.
In fact, Karl Marx's brother-in-law even founded a commune there!
These socialist Germans were very much anti-slavery and many went off to fight for the Union and were killed for it by other locals. I have heard for many years that there is a monumnet to the Union dead in New Braunfels, but have never seen it myself.
Their "hero" was old Sam Houston, who repeatedly spoke out against secession and destroyed his political career in doing so.

First of all, what differentiates him from any other democrat of the last 15 years?  He is no less than a Charlie Rangel when it comes to honesty and forthrightness, and sounds more well-spoken and coherent than Babs Boxer or Cynthia McKinney...

And since when did CNN go after democrats?  Oh...when they actually are no doubt going to hurt the democrat party BEFORE they get into office, ie lose the dems a seat...

Fuck 'em all.

173

Here is Rep. Hank Johnson's D. GA. utube clip. His handlers later said that he was joking. If you watch him closely you may notice he is dead serious and has trouble articulating length and width dimensions of the island.

174 Also, if he's been in the military, he's got some athletic ability. I want him playing goal in the World Cup.

175

Hollowpoint, I think (I'm an idiot, but this is what I think), using the MFM to bury him is the path of least resistance.  They spend no political capital that way. 

Just make him go away.  Stop being an issue.

Well, someone's an idiot in this story, but I don't think it's you or I.

If they want him to go away (and they do), you'd think they'd want to do it quietly- letting the guy do interviews on CNN isn't very quiet.  The time to bury the guy with bad press would've been before the election.  Now it's going to cost quite a bit of political capital among black voters who may not be happy about the attempts by the Dem establishment to railroad him out of the race he won.

I'd have grabbed this guy the moment he won and set him up in a nice office under the the guise of helping him. This while making sure he stayed at least 100 miles from the nearest TV camera until they figured out a way to quietly force him out.  Airing your dirty laundry on national TV just seems like bad PR to me.

But then again, I'm not a Democrat- admitting that "yeah, we fucked up" isn't a foreign concept to me.

Over at one of the WaPo blogs regarding good ole Alvin, a lot of tards on there say no matter what if you voted for Palin you're the dumbest idjit ever. So, there's a line of dumbitude support there they've drawn through the electorate wherein Alvin still comes out on top over Palin.

I never saw such hatred for anyone in my life as I see them vent on Palin. Man does she hit a nerve with the tards. To them she's the unassailable apogee of dumbass. And viscerally hated for it. Among the Dems, poor Alvin sure doesn't seem like the sharpest tool in the shed to me. But, does that matter, really? Seriously, Buckley wasn't just joking when he made the crack about being governed by the first 100 people in the phonebook rather than the faculty of Harvard. They're a confederacy of dunces and don't know it. Here's why Alvin is better than anybody on the hallowed Team of Rivals: I bet he knows he's not a genius. That means he's got one thing nobody in Obama's administration has shown any evidence of: a little bit of wisdom. Trumps intelligence. I like him. I even like his failed panty raid. He does seem like a regular guy who somehow busted out.

181


I would totally vote for this Al Greene guy. He looks like the kinda guy that would fuck a chicken, and not in the figurative sense either.

182 Wow, did I watch the same interview as all of you?
Lemon wasn't being hard on Greene, Lemon was trying to coach him along.  He was trying to prompt Greene to give the "correct" answer.  His question at the end - "are you mentally fit right now?" - he wanted Greene to say something like "no, my pain meds just kicked in" or something and that would have let him off the hook - "well okay, call back when you're feeling better!  we'll just erase this whole interview then!"  I think Lemon was feeling sorry for Greene, not trying to dog him.

Naww, Editor, I think that they wanted to exculpate him.   "Psst - don't say 'no comment', instead this is where you give your side of the story and we will slant it in your favor"

The MFM is a subsidiary of the Democratic Party.  The Democratic Party wants Greene gone.  The media isn't on his side.

The old "I've been advised by my attorney not to comment on the case" line is accepted by the media all the time.  Were it a favored Dem, a "no comment" answer would've been allowed to pass.

220 If Greene had been pre-approved by the Dem fat cats, he'd get help and protection from the MFM. Instead Greene was a surprise. The Dem fat cats are destroying Greene because Greene represents error and lack of perfect control. They have to step lightly though because SC AA's could get quite pissed off if they don't.

221 How come the MFM is scrutinizing this guy so hard? Could it be that they have egg on their faces from the Barry debacle? Sure seems like to me.

222

i still think it's weird that he garnered 100,000 votes without any exposure in the media or whatsoever campaigning.

any thing to the computer fraud question?

I doubt it.  His opponent wasn't exactly a household name, either.  Who here ever heard of his opponent Vic Rawl?

This wasn't a high-profile race; the Dems have almost no chance of beating DeMint in November .  The explanation that Greene appeared first on the ballot combined with an African-American sounding name is perfectly plausible in a race among two little-known candidates in a low-profile race.

223 South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn claims Green is a Republican plant.  I've heard Clyburn speak before.  Al Greene is every bit as "intelligent" as Clyburn.

There's an easy way out though.  Clinton can offer him a job as Joe Sestak's assistant working in the Whitehouse.

224 Cynthia McKinney, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee.  How is this guy worse?

225 This CNN anchor would never have asked Christopher Dodd or Charlie Rangel or Jack Murtha such blunt questions about pending criminal charges. He never would have asked a Kennedy, "Are you impaired by anything right now?" He would have gladly taken "No comment" as an answer from any of the above.

226 WAIT ONE DAMN MINUTE.  I thought I took the blue pill?  What the hell is this shit?

230 HeatherRadish,  suggested Civil War reading: The Coming Fury by Bruce Catton.

It wasn't a just bunch of Northeastern jerks who wanted to end slavery, it was the rest of the United States. 

For what it's worth - Delaware, Kentucky, Missouri, and Maryland were slave states, but they decided not to leave the Union. Why, I do not know.

231 If you don't vote for him, you are a racist.

232 Commenter "clifton" at fivethirtyeight has the best explanation I've seen for Green's win:

The polling says that that 82 percent never heard of Rawls, 14 percent know but don't approve, 5 percent know and approve. (Obviously there's some rounding being done.)

So wouldn't you expect Greene to get 41+14 and Rawls to get 41 +5? In other words, polls predict a 55-46 victory for Greene. That's pretty much what happened.

And if you look at the poll, the 5 -14-82 favorability was among all voters. Among liberals and moderates even more were unfavorably disposed towards Rawls. So given that these people are more likely to be voting in the Democratic primary, the margin you'd expect for Greene would be slightly bigger.

233 I have never experienced schadenfradue like this...   As a black conservative this is quite possibly the sweetest moment politically I shall ever know. Black Democrats voted for Alvin Greene and now they shall reap what they have sown. Own it! You have the black Forrest Gump on the Democrat ticket. Imagine the first debate- LOL!    

234

This next speech on the oil he's going to give.  This is going to be the cornered rat speech. 

Look at the way he's vainly trying to lash out at BP.  Like sending that idiot Eric Holder down there.  He's dying for anything to point to.  "Don't look over here; look over there." 

He'll take any distraction from the oil.

Maybe he could treat our friends even worse?  Maybe... something.  If he could just manufacture a conflaguration in any other area, he could say "look over there" and not feel so hurt and afraid.  And cheated.  Cheated out of his rightful due, since he's so awesome and all.

This could be a hell of a revealing look at, well, what we've known for quite some time around here.  It was a year ago we started talking about the NPD suffering man-child lashing out with a temper tantrum when he started not getting his way--the easy peasy way he's had things float his way all his life.

We have a dysfunctional brat in the White House.  He's an ugly soul, and we're not done paying dearly for electing him.

235 Whoops, wrong thread.

236

I hope Alvin weathers the storm, especially since the donks haven't re-thunk being nasty to him.  I think that's an ill-advised route to take.  Makes them look even worse, adding meanness to the clumsiness.  It didn't appear they were going to be able to run him off the very first day or so after the election.  It was dumb to continue trying. 

237

In my spare time, I like to pretend I'm a tank.

238 The polling says that that 82 percent never heard of Rawls, 14 percent know but don't approve, 5 percent know and approve.

From what I've read, Rawls' so-called campaign consisted of robo-calls and emails -- those must have gone to the 14 percent who don't approve.

246 Personally, I think Alvin Greene must have heard "The Ballad of Gary Hart" and decided to follow Warrn Beatty's advice therein and get into the politics game, "Warren Beatty said 'Lookie, you can get a lot of nookie if you get into the politics game'".   Ten grand and Alvin gets to say "I'm running for Senate, wanna see my porn collection?"  Hey, it worked for Ted Kennedy.

247 I hope they beat this horse til it's black and blue and putrefying for all the country to see.  Behold, the democrats.

248 In my favorite Don Lemon interview, he was interviewing this African reporter on how Obama was being treated in Africa and tried to get her to say how it was different than they treated Bush.
