The search for a new sheriff is over. Despite the rumors, Christie and Daniels never even showed up to apply. Huckabee is making too much money preachin’ in that big church at the edge of town, and let’s face it, he could never handle a six shooter. Michelle Bachmann don’t know how to saddle a horse. Gingrich shot himself in both feet, so his wife took his gun away. T-Paw drinks sarsaparilla. Some say Santorum rides side-saddle when people ain't watchin. Sarah Palin is in a wild west travelin show, doin’ ridin’ tricks, shootin in the air and ringin’ bells. Herman Cain? C’mon. He talks good, unless you really listen, but he has never even ridden a horse. Besides, he can’t command the respect of the deputies. He just don’t look right, if you catch my drift. We all like Ol' Ron Paul, but you can’t scare Obama and his men by ridin' that old nag and carryin' that big lance.<br /></p> rss@dailykos.com (timsmit) Bachmann Coulter Elections MicheleBachmann Noonan Palin Perry RepublicanPrimary romney _985854 Thu, 16 Jun 2011 20:05:52 +0000 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/6/14/985226/-He-who-forgets-history-is-doomed-to-rewrite-it <p>So I was talking to my retired English professor friend at the YMCA, and he commented that MSNBC is the same as Fox News, just opposites politically.<br /> I replied, "Fox News lies. MSNBC does not. The liberals really believe what they say."<br /> He said, “What about Rachel Maddow. She is the same as Hannity."<br /> I said, “ Maddow believes what she says. Hannity lies.<br /> He said, “Oh she does the same thing.”<br /> I said, “ Give me one example.”<br /> He said, “What, I’m being cross-examined?”<br /> I am a lawyer. I said, “I can give you an example of Hannity lying as he facilitated Palin’s lying, and very slickly at that. Almost as if it had been scripted.”<br /></p> rss@dailykos.com (timsmit) Fox News FoxNews Hannity PaulRevere Sarah Palin SarahPalin ToddPalin Wikipedia _985226 Wed, 15 Jun 2011 01:39:07 +0000
