Hawaii: Duke Aiona Gives Tearful Concession Speech
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fq0jXy5JTjc

After 8 years of ransacking and betraying the families of Hawaii James "Duke" Aiona with his accomplice Governor Linda Lingle cries over losing by double digits to Neil Abercrombie. 1 billion dollars in taxpayer money squandered on Wall Street securities, school and government worker furloughs, and social and economic stagnation and the bastard can only cry for himself and his gang of thugs.

What happened to that "knock-out punch" you were going to give President Obama in his home state, Dukie? Auwe!

1. Great point.
Crying for oneself, is not the same as crying with empathy for many people.

6. Exactly.
I didn't see Duke crying when our school kids were going to school for basically 3 1/2 days a week. Political power isn't the only thing you need to serve God Duke.

2. What's with these republican puss pusses crying?
First bohner, (his were tears of joy, no doubt)and now this guy? Most people that I know who can't control their emotions are generally suffering from some type of imbalance in the brain.

4. Ed Muskie cried and was laughed at. It was awful. Men have tear ducts too.

8. Well how many congress women have you seen in tears?
This wasn't about sex. It was about having control of one's emotions. I have a cat that roams the house and cries. She cries to go out, then cries to come in. She cries because she want's to come upstairs, she cries because she wants to go downstairs (I keep the door closed). It's all totally unnecessary and only being done because she wants to play an attention game with me. So is boner mentally unstable (whether it's because of long term alcohol abuse or some other chemical imbalance) or is he just doing it- because like my cat, he just wants attention?

7. Best bench press in Congress, without a doubt
Looks like Hawai'i elected a pretty good governor. I wonder if he knew Obama's parents whilst his mother with pregnant with Barack.

9. Neil was a close personal friend of Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham.

Neil's goal is to bench press his weight every year on his birthday.
