Well, George W. Bush will be sworn in as our 43rd president tomorrow. That’ll sure put a knot in Phebe’s panties. She’s been in support of all this recount nonsense. She’s been for Al Gore all the way. She changed her voter affiliation to Democrat last year.

Hillary Mania has sure done a number on her. Anything Hillary stands for, Phebe’s now right there with her, spouting off the same talking points. Liberal Ditto-head, that's what you'd call it.

Good fucking gracious.

I was sad the day Rudy Giuliani dropped out of the race against Hillary. I thought with Giuliani, for once people foolish enough to marry their cousins would have an advocate in Washington.

Her Yankees beat my Mets, and her Hillary beat my whatever the fuck his name was now, but at least my King Boy George beat out the other uninspiring scion of wealth and privilege, Gore the Bore.

Fucking Tennessee liberal for gun control, like that makes any sense.

Phebe's actually has been suggesting that Gore should have continued to contest the presidency despite the Supreme Court ruling because the Florida vote, she says, was really in Gore’s favor and was rightfully his to claim under the constitution.

My view on that is, yeah, seems it was pretty tight there in Florida, but Gore got thumped in his home state! What the fuck does that say about you when they hate you at home?

Well. . . maybe I’m not so much the one to ask that question. . .

In reality, Gore would have had a cakewalk to the presidency if it wasn’t for Ralph Nader being in the race. Percy said he voted for Nader, the fucker.

Talk about choices between rats and snakes. I guess I have to be careful not to fault Percy too much. In some ways I kinda agree with him that we don't need a third party-- we need a 10th one. If you got a lot of money and there’s only two teams, how much more would it take to buy off the other guys too? The more political parties we can get, the better off for our democracy, the idea goes, because buying influence would finally become onerous to wealthy special interest.

Look at this shit with Bill Clinton pardoning that fugitive financier. That doesn’t tell you something about where he‘s at?

In reality, Gore would have had a cakewalk to the presidency if only Bubba had been able to keep his Johnson in his pants---or shall I say his Dick Nixon?

Mr. Clinton, there’s a canker on the presidency.
