weejee: A few years ago I posted that comment on NewsBusters without attribution. As I knew they would, the right wing nutz jumped all over it.

Then I posted the source...

That is a first-rate speech!

That was the slowest "lightning round" ever. Not much light offered, either...

There are some boobs on that panel, but none I'd consider my favorite.

She'd have to give up her sweet, sweet TV contract cash. Right now she gets paid big truckloads of green to sound like a moron. As RNC Chair? Not so much.

It is hard to believe that when they open their mouths that shredded pieces of the Constitution, the Bible and Ayn Rand novels don't shoot out like a Rip Taylor bit.

Nah, couldn't be.

One of my favorite quotes:<i> The Lord of the Rings, and Atlas Shrugged, are two books you can give a 15-year-old kid that’ll change his life forever. One will draw him into a fantasy world where people who are losers in real life can become heroic captains engaged in a timeless, righteous struggle against evil. The other is about orcs.</i>

Look again, Manhattan. Ken doesn't say they're <i>fucking</i> morons. He says they <i>are</i> morons.

It's America they're fucking.

I heard The Reagan Diaries, George Bush's new book (oh, God...seriously?), To Kill a Mockingbird (read in high school, I'm sure), and War and Peace....what was the other book?

Whatever he said, I'm pretty sure it wasn't "A People's History of the United States" or "Profiles in Courage."

And this is what the Republican Party is reduced to? I'm actually surprised no one could come up with obvious panders like "Wealth of Nations" or "Conscience of a Conservative," which are still <b>way better answers</b> than anything they said except for the Harper Lee classic.

Agreed, but the "favorite bar lady" might make for some fun headlines, though.

I didn’t watch this debate but has anyone counted the number of Reagan references yet?
