Bill Clinton on Larry King:
"You know, they think that because of who I am and where my politic[al] base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'cracker vote' there."
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 9/25/08 at 2:48pmI'm sorry, is there supposed to be something outrageously "offensive" there?

It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

And I believe that was a quote.
How many years have you lived in the South, Goth?

I know I'm supposed to be reading some outrage into this, but I have no idea what it is.

Goth, I'm sorry! You being a Republican you probably call them "rednecks."
You know, the "REDNECKS"

Posted: 9/25/08 at 2:52pmBill Clinton is a Cracker, so he can say that word.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

This ain't even grasping at straws anymore.
Or to crib from one of my favorite Southern belle friends, "Oh honey, that sh*t is so high only the dawgs can hear it".

As a displaced Southerner, I'd like to go on record as saying that Clinton (or Lawton Chiles, for that matter) is welcome to refer to me and mine as cracker, in the context in which he did so.
Moving on . . .

Posted: 9/25/08 at 2:55pmIT IS pretty funny- see what Goth Posts, then Google it and see the Right-wings Blogs talking about it. No wonder they believe in trickle down economics- it's trickle down policy. They throw it out there and he posts it here.

What I find really funny is the whole "He said a bad word" campaign that the Republicans are going for.
"You said Sarah Palin was a pig with lipstick! I'm SO telling!"

Yeah, they seem to keep forgetting that John McCain called his own wife a ****.
And called Janet Reno a man (although, really, who hasn't done that)

John and Gail are my favorites!

I like the buttery flavor of Ritz!
But you are, my love, the astronaut/
Flying in the face of science/
I will gladly stay an afterthought/
Just bring back some nice reminders
