RNC - Day 2 (Recaps)

Posted on September 03, 2008

Posted on September 02, 2008
It's almost too goddamn easy. James Carville vs. A Woman Who Can't Blink who is spitting out talking points that she can't possibly believe. It's a long video, and although it's all pretty entertaining, around the 6:15 minute mark,...

Will Juror for Food

Posted on September 02, 2008

Our readers know us so well

Breaking: Desperate Obama Impregnates Palin's 17-Year-Old Daugther

Posted on September 01, 2008
