The "Dishonest Dubya" Lying Action Figure wasn't available within twenty-four hours after the inauguration. But it certainly is fun to play with now. Seems there are a lot of sites whose goal is to uninstall GW. I wonder what the liberal media will say about this.

I'll bet right now there are some MeFites who have veins in their foreheads bulging quite substantially.

Don't miss the forest for the tree, there's a larger point being made. But first a little tangential tangent:

Q: What was the name of the old crooner who ran a meth lab?

A: Crank Sinatra

The fact of the matter is, and the point I was trying to make, was that there seems to be a lot more undercurrent of dissent aimed at the President, coming from the Internet, than there ever was during Bill Clinton. While I realize his VP had 'invented the Internet," I think it is quite interesting that President Bill didn't get nearly as ridiculed via the Internet as Bush.

Fair and balanced.

On preview: I take it you never used the internet during Clinton's term, jackspace?

I still love the quote, "There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again."

That cracks me up every time I hear it.

Once President Sharpton is comfortably esconced in the oval office, we'll have a whole new layer of ridicule to consider:



Sharpton in '04!

Sharpton? The guy's name is Corbis...I can tell from his name tag.

Meanwhile, Warnock is contemplating an Al Sharpton action figure. "I'd love to dress it in an Adidas warm-up suit and big gold chain," he says.
