I wish "Neither" or "Irrelevant" was a choice.

I can just see it. Hillary is being taped washing down a giant bag of sea salt and vinegar potato chips with boilermakers when an aide whispers the next act she has to follow. "I have to do WHAT?!"

Where is the "I don't give a shit" option for voting?

I think teabagging is a white boy thing - so, no.

Could there be a worse idea than to pass out at as frat party? As stupid as that is, kinda hope this guy ends up in the ranks of the Obama administration. A couple of ex-frat boys spending spring break '09 at Guantanamo Bay kinda makes me giggle.

This is going to be such a non-issue in about 16-20 years, when the Facebook/MySpace-generation teenagers and college students start running for national offices. A teabagging photo is pretty tame compared to some party photos that make their way onto those sites.

Isn't this exactly the kind of sophomoric frat boy bullshit that the liberals have hated on GWB about for so much and for so long?

I don't see "who cares" so I'm abstaining.

White on black teabagging might just help in WV and KY.

@8 - Yes, but there are two key differences:

1. This is the candidate's aide, not the candidate himself. With Bush, it was the candidate himself.

2. While it appears that Mr. Love has matured and moved on from the ol' fraternity days, it is not so clear that Dubya has (sobriety notwithstanding).

There is a difference between acting like a frat boy/college kid when you are indeed a frat boy/college kid, and acting like one when those days are 20+ years behind you.

Hm, let me see here. A dude - a fully conscious, if likely inebriated dude - put his testicles in the face of an unconscious dude, and the implied spin on this is that the unconscious dude has done something that is considered so wrong that it ought to affect his career years later?

Fratboys are SO FUCKED UP.

Maybe it would if they were Obama's nuts.

The difference is that Skull and Bones doesn't allow photography at their initiations.

I was looking for the option "Don't Care" because now that it's over, any anti-Obama action is just pro-McCain/Bush Third Term action.

But @3 had a better suggestion.

Are you in my brain?
