I like facts, myself. Krugman knows a few.

Matalin is fantasy based.

First because Mrs. Crypt-keeper seemed to be extra Crypt-keeperish looking this morning ... I guess it was because she was sitting next to Mr. Crypt-keeper.

And secondly, because watching Mr. Crypt-keeper's face when she was spinning her B.S. ... One could actually see Mr. Crypt-keeper weighing whether to call B.S. on Mrs. Crypt-keeper against having to go home with Mrs. Crypt-keeper.

Especially because it's true!

Those two are grotesque, as you pointed out with that great Crypt-keeper imagery. Why choose one side to exploit when you can partner together and exploit BOTH sides?

Special place. Hell. Reserved. Carvilles.

seen her for years...I think she looks ten times better. The one who really looks bad to me is Carville...that's one ugly dude. Guess beauty/ugly is in the eye of the beholder.

Of course I don't like what comes out her mouth.

Sun Oct 7, 2012, 12:15 PM

but I think she makes the most of what she has. She's never based her success on her appearance, so it doesn't really matter, anyway.

As an aging woman myself, I don't begrudge anyone from trying to look less tired for the cameras. She doesn't look botox'd to me, but she might be. Doesn't matter.

I haven't had anything done....yet. Expensive, and have to take off work. But I'm thinking about some fillers for those nose-to-lip lines caused by chubby cheeks that have fallen (what I like to call the Paul McCartney or Angela Lansbury effect).

In case I have that done, here's my "before" picture, for the record:

all that Botox. Couldn't she have just gotten a Lifeline Lift and left the rest to nature, so we could see her facial skin move? She looks like this doll, and that's pretty damn scary.

"DESPITE the roadblocks repugs have put in the way, the economy is showing some recovery." Then, I would have mentioned that little repug meeting, cantor and fellow repugs, AFTER obama was elected, basically saying they were going to throw a wrench in anything the democrats were going to do about the economy. Because everyone knows the repugs just love america and americans-they love americans more than winning. Right, repugs?

Hey, repugs, how about passing some jobs bills!!! What's the damn hold up? Oh, and that stimulus, you all call a failure, well it was supposed to be more, even krugman stated it needed to be more, but hey because of YOU we had to settle.

Oh, and I love how you all just love to create the damn problem (you do remember little boot's basically shoveling OUR money to his war profiteering friends, instead of creating jobs, rebuilding our infrastructure), well, your man increased the deficit over eighty per cent. And, now you all are concerned about the deficit? Oh wait, you made the problem and now you have the solution which is gutting help for those people who have actually lost their decent jobs and pensions because of YOU and giving your WS con artist friends even more of our money to "play" with by privatizing SS. Well, I'll say one thing, you all sure gotta a lot of nerve!!!!

Did he happen to mention the relevant point.

In other words did he tell her that Bush fucked the economy so badly that it not even realistic to think of the second great republican depression in recession terms.

She hasn't any sense of responsibility for purporting the biggest LIE of the Cheney Bush machine that helped get us into this MESS (off the books), and YET, she seems to think herself FIT to spew out that shit...

I sure hope this stuff was turning on old serpent-face for you afterward, honey, cause that face of yours needs a bag over it.
