Best W quote lately (on why that meanie Gore should just let him be President, like his daddy’s friends promised): “There’s some stuff going on in Israel I’m looking forward to hearing about.” Outstanding. Hey George, it’s called a newspaper … Oh I forgot - you don’t like to **READ**. ---

No wonder I like Bush so much! We both would rather pull a word out of our ass than look it up. 😛 ---

Al Gore is a descendent of an alien species, who plan to take over the earth by infiltrating our government, then use all humans for fertilizer. George Bush is a descendent of a CIA Chief/VP/President of the United States of America. I don’t trust either… ---

Gore: –the wretched orange make-up. –Karenna. I’m sick to death of Karenna. [Jan Brady voice] Karenna, Karenna, Karenna. [end Jan Brady voice] –the PDAs with Tipper. Gag me (or her, I guess). Bush: –the boil. –he travels with his own down pillow (that tidbit is from my mom–she’s a Dubya groupie). ---

Trust me, you _don’t_ want Ben Stein displeased with you. Do you? _ **DO YOU??** _ ---
