16. Thank You For the Transcript
Sound on my computer doesn't work. Enjoyed the read until I got to support Hillary line. Sorry I don't support her.

8. You're welcome
It was good stuff. Glad to be able to share with the video impaired, for I, too, was once among their ranks. :)

5. It was VERY good.
Some of Maher's best work.

The only bad thing was that they didn't cut away so you could see that weasel David Frum squirming.

12. Now that is what I call a brilliant rant!
Short, sweet, and to the point, on all the topics he chose to address.

I hope someone sneaks it onto l'il Georgie's iPod...

13. David Frump sat there like the neo-turd that he is
Frump the author of the unlucky phrase: axis of evil could barely hold on to his phony neoturd smile and not even the image of NeoTurd Saint MotherBillkristol faux smile could keep his face from the awful rictus of shame.

It was one of Bill's most hard hitting statements.

I bet he is a marked man. LOL.

15. You know - I don't think I am very patriotic.
Don't get me wrong, I've lived in other countries and I prefer living in the US. I like Americans. I like how open and humorous they are. I like interstate highways with rest stops and large grocery stores where you can buy almost anything. I like how our houses have a lot of bathrooms. I like American football and basketball and AAA (Adult Album Alternative) radio stations. I like the fantastic National Parks we have. I like the quick service you get in the United States and how you can ask for strange modifications to what's on the menu without anyone giving you grief. I like how Americans don't say something should be done a certain way because "it's our culture to...". If someone has a better way, most of us will change our habits in a heartbeat. I like how even though Americans may not like what you say, they respect your right to say it. I like the bill of rights, which I've come to think is fairly unique in the world. Yes, I quite like it here.

(Of course our country is not perfect and has a lot of problems, but I also like how most Americans know that and strive to make it better.)

But, I'm getting the feeling "Patriotic" means supporting the Republican party - right or wrong. I mean, we are supposed to give our President total support, as if he were ordained by God himself, but only Republican Presidents. If the President is a Democrat, then clearly supporting him is UNPATRIOTIC! The same with congress, supporting a Republican Congress is Patriotic, especially when they are impeaching someone for "disgracing" the office of the President. Supporting a Democratic Congress is unpatriotic. So, I don't really think I am very patriotic.

24. Saying you're patriotic is like saying you have a big cock
If you have to say it, it's probably not true.

:rofl:

25. I double-dog dare Hillary to do it.
It might just give her the edge she's been missing.
I know I, for one, would die laughing!
