just look at that Russian virility. I bet he drinks ram’s blood and holds his hands over fire.
also, he’s a judo black belt. which means if world politics ever goes thunderdome and all disputes are settled in vicious hand to hand combat, you know who’s coming out on top. hint: it’s not Sarkozy. fag.
aright, let’s get down to some bidness. I watched some of the Democratic presidential debate. most of them, worthless.
except, uh, a certain former senator from Alaska. he’s got something. you may call it moxie, but I think I’ll let Big Mike explain:
MR. RUSSERT: I want to ask Senator Gravel. You talk about running for president of the United States. In 1980 your condo business went bankrupt.
MR. GRAVEL: Correct.
MR. RUSSERT: In 2004 you filed for personal bankruptcy –
MR. GRAVEL: Correct.
MR. RUSSERT: — leaving $85,000 in credit bills unpaid. How can someone who did not take care of his business, could not manage his own personal finances, say that he’s capable of managing the country?
MR. GRAVEL: Well, first off, if you want to make a judgment of who can be the greediest people in the world when they get to public office, you could just look up at the people up here. Money — many of them done very, very well in public office.I left the Senate no better than when I went in.
Now, you say the condo business. I’ll tell you, Donald Trump has been bankrupt a hundred times. So I went bankrupt once in business.
And the other — who did I bankrupt? I stuck the credit card companies with $90,000 worth of bills. And they deserved it, because I used the money. They deserved it, and I used the money to finance the empowerment of the American people with the National Initiative, so you can make the laws.
Now, Tim, let me just point one thing out.
MR. RUSSERT: All right.
MR. GRAVEL: You’re asking about special interests.
MR. RUSSERT: You’ve made your point. You’ve made your point.
MR. GRAVEL: Well, I wanted to make a better point.
MR. GRAVEL: Correct.
MR. RUSSERT: In 2004 you filed for personal bankruptcy –

I love this guy. he’s the bottom of the contender barrel, and so to even have a chance in hell to be still here in four months, he’s got to throw bombs. and say absolutely outlandish things. it really spices up dry television.
other news: President Bush is threatening to kill a healthcare bill for children of families that are barely above the qualifications for Medicaid. because, well, I don’t know.
more news: Democrats in the Senate tacked a bill that would make violence against homsexuals as a federal hate crime right onto the end of a massive defense spending bill for the Iraq war. so, if Bush wants the cash, he’s got to approve the hate crime law.
oh boy. I can’t wait to see what happens next. oh boy.
it’s all a circus anyway, isn’t it?
