1. Gillespie is a whiny...

...lil bitch. And half his bs is distortion of what the candidates say or have said. And quite frankly, since this is the WORST PRESIDENT in the history of the US, every one of those comments is fully warranted, and a helluva lot more...

2. You should see what they call him

when the cameras are off.

A few comments:

I do like Edwards repeating that he's a PHONY. Like to see them counter that.

(Gotta love how Dean was taken wildly out of context there, regarding the military comment, but then again Dean should've known better than to give them that quote.)

This post just makes me love our scrappy Dems even more.

I think we should appoint Clark as the one to call Bush "AWOL"

WTF, Lieberman doesn't make the list?

3. Interestingly enough, Mr. Gillespie ...

... you know what's also never happened? Bush making even the slightest credible case that they're wrong.

Funny, that.
