HA!! Great, fun post, Jeff. We are all getting a little too serious.
*deep breath*
Posted by lima beans at January 11, 2008 02:42 PMKim Campbell was the first female Prime Minister of Canada. She held the post for about two months, followed by an election campaign in which she was billed as a 'genius' by her PR people. As a token of this mighty stature, she proceeded to lose her own seat in the House and her party was virtually wiped out. I would treat anything she says with the disdain it rightly deserves. She proved time and again the truth of the old Scottish adage, "Never trust a Campbell". She's been living outside the country ever since, communing with foreign geniuses no doubt. Kim, don't phone home.

Posted by iamcoyote at January 11, 2008 03:16 PMHillary's tears were not fake; she was indeed crying--crying because she thought she was going to lose the election. She said so herself.

What an embarrassment to the commentariat.
[Of course, there is Tweety - but he's really in a class by himself]
I digress.
