The hypocrisy of these people is mind-numbing.

Nancy R. should be buried in a Valentino, and so should Palin on November 4th.

Presumably, Palin will also get a "home version of the game" to go along with them...

I thought to myself, "who the hell dressed him like a dork?"

Now we know. A personal designer at Sax. I suppose he was intended to look like a good boy to all the grandmothers in Florida.

Have you noticed that Barry (a.k.a. Barack, a.k.a. Buddy Love) hasn't been fitting his clothes very well...guess he'll have to keep drinking the secret formula not to bloat up for the next two weeks.

They didn't use tax money to buy the shit, so who cares?

Move on; nothing to see here.
