And who said Republicans don't appreciate performance art!!

Er... in Jeb's case, non-performance art, which leads us back to Bob Dole and um, nvm!

Help I am trapped in a Dole-Bush Causality!

I saw this on a manager's desk and flipped through it, this endorsement sounds like it came from this book:

Hey, MJ !!! Was thrilled to run across your comments while looking at Magna's discussion. Seek and I are well, thanks for asking. He's working like crazy fulltime with excellent bene package - I'm almost fulltime for an attorney and after the Nov. election may have a 10 year gig at the county level. We don't get online much, but I can't shake the habit. Hope you and yours are well also and hope I see you again soon. XOXOXO

Limp guys like losers. Of course. Some things Viagra can't fix.

I'd win dollars, and you'd be out donuts. If she did have it, she wouldn't keep it in her purse. She'd incinerate it, and order useful, reliable replacement from Good Vibrations or Toys in Babeland.

Hey, it's Bob Dole, come back from the isolation tank full of formaldehyde to pronounce his soporific wisdom to the party that doesn't give a shit what he thinks. Last I remember hearing from him, he was pathetically raising his hand and murmuring the oath of office after running against Bill Clinton by calling him a commie in 1996 ("When so much of the world is going our way, why should we go their way?" referring of course to Eastern Europe and the USSR).

Yes, he was a war hero and a fairly okay senator for a Republican, but the presidential race really brought out the petty bastard in him -- the other half of his platform, after "Bill's a commie," was "vote for me because it's my turn," presaging Mitt Romney's inglorious sagging self-delusional campaign by sixteen years. If Rubio had any sense he'd put this endorsement in a dark place like it was a bouquet of WalMart pansies.
