Toxic Bush, Magnetic Bill

2:06 pm EST June 6th, 2006 | Politics | 15 Comments

George Bush

It’s getting rather embarrassing. Bush hosted an event for Senate candidate Michael Steele in Maryland, but Steele was elsewhere. The president raised money for Rep. Thelma Drake (R) in Virginia, but Drake couldn’t make it. Sen. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) was notably absent from a Bush event in March in Ohio. Cheney was in New Jersey to help Senate candidate Tom Kean Jr., but Kean didn’t show up until Cheney was gone. Minnesota Senate candidate Mark Kennedy skipped an appearance by Bush at a 3M Corp. plant outside Minneapolis. Bush was in Pennsylvania two weeks ago to campaign for vulnerable Republican House members in the Philadelphia suburbs, but Rep. Curt Weldon (R), the most vulnerable of them all, couldn’t even make up a good excuse for dodging the president, telling reporters that Bush “is really doing poorly in our state.”

Clinton

In what promises to be his most intensive campaign season since he left office, former President Bill Clinton is scheduled to appear at more than two dozen fund-raisers for Democrats around the country, hoping to collect at least $20 million for his party’s drive to recapture Congress.

    Hey during the 2000 election, did anyone actually Gore in the same state as his sitting president?

    Yea, thought not.

    Talk about embarassing!

    Don’t sentences usually have verbs in them?

    Hey during the 2000 election, did more people vote for Gore, or not?

    drpedro’s too smart and busy insulting our lack of intelligence to worry about sentence structure.

    To Gore (v). To fuilfill all essential criteria to hold a position, and yet never actually get to do so.

    Hey, does the Constitution say “whoever gets the most votes nationwide wins”, or not?

  7. drpedro says:

    yea, except have the majority of the Electoral College votes as prescribed by the law of the United States (Nimrod, being a ferener, might be excused from knowing that one…)

    I love the frustrated fourth grade english teachers we have running around here though. But I don’t blame you. If you can’t argue the point you better find SOMETHING to kvetch about!

    Huh, I didn’t drpedro knew any Yiddish.

    Hey during the 2000 election, did anyone actually [mystery verb] Gore in the same state as his sitting president?

    Without the main verb here (or a prepesition as well), you’re sentence could mean anything.

    vote for? vote against? sleep with? consume? shoot? spin around?

    Yeah, I have no idea why no one spun Gore around in the same states that Clinton was either. Maybe Gore got dizzy too easily?

    let me help….the mystery verb is

    “see”

    The answer to that rhetorical question is : No.

    Gore refused to even be seen with his President of 8 years.

    So if Bush should be embarrassed by these folks that he hardly knows not showing up to fundraisers, well, Clinton should be absolutely mortified…

    Gore refused to even be seen with his President of 8 years.

    I’d say that was one of his *two* greatest mistakes. The other; choosing Liebermann as a running mate.

    If Gore has campaigned with Clinton, and had chosen a better VP…Bush/Diebold wouldn’t have benefited from stealing Florida.

    Btw, you know it in your black heart Pedrolito, if Clinton could run again, he’d win in a landslide.

    I don’t think so Curmudgeon.

    I think clinton is basking in an afterglow. The people KNOW he can’t do any more harm, so he can be all lovable and cuddly again. NO ONE who has ever met the man says he is anything but absolutely charming, republicans and democrats.

    So now he can be charming, and harmless. So who doesn’t like that combo?

    Thank you for finally revealing the mystery verb to us. Now we just need to help you practice not acting like a complete dick when someone points out that your sentences are incomplete.

    sure zython, sure.

    And when you can argue the actual POINT, get back to me.

    Talk about deflecting!

    LOL

    Huh, I didn t drpedro knew any Yiddish.?

    I’ll guess that the mystery verb in this sentence is “know”.

    What do I win?

    Huh. I guess you got me. Yeah, the mystery verb is “know”. You win one of those giant cookie cake dealies you find at the mall. Tell them Zython sent you, they’ll totally hook you up.
