Is Cindy McCain or Laura Bush the Botox Queen of Washington? I bet their monthly botox bill is more than an health insurance premium for a family of four.
"President Bush has offered to help Myanmar. I guess it used to be called Burma. That's where they had that terrible cyclone, where thousands of people were killed as the country was hit by a devastating cyclone. In fact, Bush offered to help the country under one condition, 'Don't tell New Orleans." --Jay Leno

Disturbing News
"I'm staying in this race until there's a nominee and obviously I am going to work as hard as I can to become that nominee" - Hillary Clinton
Subject: Hillary should quit?
Lisa,
Kathy in Atlanta and others like her don't seem to get it. Hillary isn't a
quitter. She's not like John Kerry. She's a fighter. Not like Kerry and
countless other democrats who fold when the odds look insurmountable. She will
take a gun to a knife fight. Not like most democrats. She is a wonderful blend
of head and heart. Not like most republicans and Mr. Kumbaya who is going to
have his ass handed to him by the republican slime machine.
Until Obama actually is the nominee, she will give it her all for her
supporters. If Obama actually becomes the nominee then all democrats should
rally around him and hold their collective breath.
Greg in Foster City
Thanks for writing, Greg.
This is a close race, yet Obama supporters and the media are screaming 24/7 for Hillary to give up before the contest is over.
Personally, I am enjoying this Democratic Waltz before the relentless onslaught of the GOP body slammers.
"This thing just grinds on and on. Barack Obama won in North Carolina. Hillary Clinton barely won in my home state in Indiana, and again, we're hearing that the Clinton campaign is in financial trouble. They need money, desperately need money. And as a matter of fact, to raise money, earlier today. Hillary Clinton entered a wet pantsuit contest." --David Letterman
Republican Ethics Problem Solved
The Senate Ethics Committee
declined Thursday to investigate Sen. David Vitter, who was linked to an escort
service whose owner was convicted in federal court and subsequently committed
suicide.
The committee said it declined to pursue the case
because Vitter's conduct preceded his Senate service, did not result in
charges against him and did not involve use of his public office or status for
improper purposes.

"Hey, you know who is getting married this weekend? One of the Bush sisters. Jenna Bush is getting married this weekend at her father's place in Crawford, Texas. And this is no surprise: the $2 billion ice sculpture contract went to Halliburton." --David Letterman
Hillary Uses The White Word!
Does Hillary Clinton
believe that white Americans are the hard working ones, and all of Barack
Obama's supporters are lazy blacks and college kids?
Of course not, but that's how it sounds to unfriendly ears.

Superdelegate For Sale
In this tight
battle for the Democratic nomination we've heard a lot about the candidates
courting superdelegates.
But, one superdelegate is courting the candidates. He says he'll sell his vote
for a price. A very high price: $20 million.
Steven Ybarra of Sacramento says that eight-figure price is peanuts for the
presidency.
"And you can tell Barack Obama is feeling confident. Did you see what he did this afternoon? Did you see what he did today? He went bowling with his former pastor, Reverend Wright. ... That's confidence." --Jay Leno
