Candidates in a Box
i just found this in the NY Times. It's fun and kind of enlightening.
it describes various things about the candidates with one word for each section
Take a look and tell me what you think:

1. It's bullshit how they basically trash Mike Gravel throughout that whole thing.
Not one positive thing about him. What about singlehandedly filibustering the draft? What about reading the pentagon papers in to congrsssional record, assholes? It's absolute shit that they don't give someone who's done so much for our country even the most cursory respect.

6. Neither fun nor enlightening, IMHO.
Edited on Sun Nov-18-07 11:16 AM by mrfixit
HRC has "Prudent" judgement, while Kucinich is "Uncomplicated?"

Her logic is "Shrewd" while Dennis' is "Specious?"

I'm not mking this up - "Specious."

To top it off, Dennis Kucinich is a "Know-It-All," "Impatient," "Marginal" and "Quirky?"

BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARF. Puh-fucking-leeeeeeeeze.
