   Yes but Joe has said plenty of flippant things, not all of them so obviously true. Chimp is easy pickings right now. The hard part is picking him up and kicking his ass out of Washington. Nobody’s touching that one. Witness how Tony Blow thumbs his nose at the Clintons with such impunity.

   All three rising to their lowest potential: pot calling kettle black while skillet cracks wise.

   12 shy of a dozen
   A bad spot on the disk.
   A couple of open splices.
   A few beers short of a six-pack.
   A few bricks shy of a load.
   A few cans short of a six pack.
   A loose chip on the micro processor.
   A quart low.
   About as sharp as a bowl of jello.
   About as sharp as a bowling ball.
   About as sharp as a sack of wet leather.
   All booster – no payload.
   All crown – no filling.
   All the lights don’t shine in his marquis
   As thick as two short planks.
   Been playing with his wand too much.
   Body by Fisher – brains by Mattel

   Got the mental agility of a soap dish.
   Half a bubble off plumb.
   Has a mind like a sieve
   Has a room temperature IQ.
   He ain’t wrapped too tight.
   He has both oars on the same side of the boat!
   He has signs on both ears saying Space for Rent
   He left the store without all of his groceries.
   He parked his head and forgot where he left it.
   He’s a couple of volts below threshold
   He’s about as smart as bait.
   He’s got a mind like a steel trap – anything entering gets crushed and mangled
   He’s got a mind like a steel trap–full of mice.
   He’s got the attention span of an overripe grapefruit.
   He’s reading off a empty disk
   He’s two tacos short of a combination plate.
   He’s working with an unformatted disk
   His little red choo choo done jumped the track.
   If his IQ was 2 points higher he would be a rock.
   If brains were dynamite he couldn’t blow his hat off.
   If he were any more stupid, he would have to be watered twice a week.
   In the shopping mall of the mind,  he’s in the toy department.

   The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn’t coming.
   The smoke doesn’t make it to the top of his chimney.
   Too much yardage between the goal posts.
   Vacancy on the top floor.
   Was hiding behind the door when they passed out brains.
   Was napping in the pile the day that God was cracking nuts.
   You can hear the wind whistling through his ears.

       I was rather fond of skating on the wrong side of the ice, myself.

   We need more politicans who will blatantly speak the truth.  We need inspiration.  We need someone with BALLS.  As a recovering Republican I can say that what I found to be the Democrats’ biggest weakness is that they haven’t got any balls.  Sure, they have convictions and ideals – but you gotta have balls.
