2. I love it when a plan comes together
Dean had only three hours to get that crowd assembled so he could make his announcement. Luckily, I had made myself extremely tiny and hid myself in his coat pocket so I could spy on his every move. When I heard that I only had three hours, I leapt from his pocket, ran around the corner, made myself big again, flew from Vermot to Boston like Neo in 'The Matrix,' called Dennis and said, "Now is the time!"

After that, it was easy.

Dude, you need a better cell phone plan. :-)

8. The problem there
is that I can only make myself small, and not any of my stuff. It was weird being all naked in Dean's coat. He has a nice fuzzy liner, but those huge nickels were colder than hell.

where exactly did you have your keys stashed so you could get back into your apartment? :evilgrin:

29. Why, this is a fabrication!
Everyone knows Kucinich doesn't carry nickels in his coat! Last time I was in his pocket, there was a change purse.

34. Now I understand your fiendish plan
You used your cover of working with Kucinich to employ your evil shrinkerizer ray to melt away Dean's support! The Perfect Storm was no match for supervillian Will Pitt!

Clearly the most diabolocal plot since space aliens fixed Eric Estrada's teeth...

6. Yes
if he becomes the nominee.

Yes, because he is a Democrat.

I'm also supporting Edwards and Sharpton and Dennis Kucinich.

17. I'm supporting Kucinich and Dean to beat Kerry / Bush
Kucinich and Dean are the only Democrats left in this race. I don't need Kerry telling me how his 3-4 months in Nam made him a hero while I have dead and crippled family members that feel no need to brag about their service there.

I want an honest and humble president and not a braggart and Bush lite.

19. Good for you
Kucinich is an honorable man and very worthy of your support. He surely has mine. As for Dean...I don't know if you got the memo, but he's out of the race.

22. I'm working to get Dean BACK in the race with Kucinich
Kerry has dismissed Dennis and Howard and now it's time to join forces and take Kerry out and bring hope, promise and honesty to America.

I know in my heart that honest Democrats want the truth and honesty that Kucinich and Dean have offered. I refuse to let a Pac man and candidate basher like Kerry faux his way into the front runner.

I want an honest ticket to run this country and Kerry (IMHO) is not the one.

30. Are you the one who shrank the WMD's?
That's my form of a kick to this thread because I'm not completely satisfied with any of the answers I've been receiving on that question or on the thread question. I suspect a cover up.

You know, one of these days bullshit innuendo laced with a personal attack will require an iota of evidence before it can be put forth. Until then, have fun.

25. And if someone had said
something similar about Dean, you'd have your knickers in one hell of a knot and would be letting everyone know it, so why is it okay for you to bash other candidates like that????????????????

20. He did it because I told him to do it and that's that!
After all...there are chores to be done...trash to be taken out...attics to be cleaned. And, I said, "george isn't such a bad guy...hi pocket is not as hairy as Dean's...and Laura is nice...she can be your surrogate Mom when you're in DC." He listened to me and he left DK...he's going to do chores for awhile and then... ah well, who knows. :-)

31. Thanks for giving it a shot, Will
Time for us all to step up to the plate.

Good luck in your new directions, what ever they be.

And as you go through life always remember that it is a scientifically proven fact that the Patriots Totally Rule !!

33. I didn't think that we were permitted to "call out" other members
especially when starting a thread. Not that I really care.

36. I was just trying to have some fun; did not intend to call Will out at all
I hope it's understood that I'm not calling Will out at all. If anything, I'm calling out that part of myself that sees conspiracies.

Isn't it interesting that something that is intended as humor (I thought it was obvious that it was intended as humor, anyway; maybe it wasn't as obvious as I thought) takes on its own life when it gets refracted through others' perceptions?

35. Jesus. Everybody's got to be pure?
I can't believe some of the posts in this thread.

I'd bet a hundred bucks Will worked for DK because he believed in him AND because it was a good career move. Since when are these two things mutually exclusive?

Maybe Will wants to work for Kerry? Who fucking cares? Kerry'd be smart to hire him just for his contacts in the ant-war press. If he helped DK and gained useful experience working for him, more power to Will.

38. I of course have no idea, but I welcome the decision


Sorry, Will, but I could never figure out if you were for DK or Kerry, and that made it hard for me to support the congressman.

43. There were other reasons--but I'll admit I was confused
By this and the Edwards delegate thing in Iowa, which had the effect of making DK "look" like he was not really playing for keeps.

Right now, I am giving him a third look, since the options have gotten so much bleaker.

40. "Withdrawl"? Doesn't sound very *manly* to me!
Pardon me, it is an old George Carlin routine explaining why the US gov't would not withdraw from Vietnam.
