Lifted from Randi Rhodes' blog - too good not to share.
"Michele Obamas special guest for the SOTU is a 102-year old woman who had to jump the Republicans hurdles to vote in Florida this last election. The appropriately named Desiline Victor is a Haitian immigrant who had to wait for hours to vote for Obama in November. And when youre 102 years old, every hour counts! Yes, Florida Governor Rick Scott kept a 102-year old woman waiting in line for hours to vote. I havent seen a picture of Desiline Victor yet, but Im willing to bet that she still looks several decades younger than Rick Scott looks. Rick Scott looks like he died 102 years agoand had his body thrown in a swamp."
