[Rhodes22-list] Supreme Court Gives Gore’s Nobel to Bush (Political humor)

[Brad Haslett]

Rummy,

We haven't heard the last from Big Al.  Word on the street says Howard Dean
wants him to run.  After Fred Thompson's late entry, don't count anything
out!  The Hildabeast has a 50/50 chance of winning all the marbles.  Funny,
that doesn't frighten me as much as it should.  This country has some
serious enemies - one thing Hillary knows how to do is take care of enemies.
