Topinka sorry for `morons' remark

Republican governor candidate Judy Baar Topinka apologized Friday for using the term "morons" to describe her rivals in the March 21 primary contest, and her campaign denied that her comment reflected the stress of the campaign's final days.

Campaigning at Journeymen Plumbers Hall in Chicago and then before a gathering of the Illinois Education Association in Rosemont, Topinka said she regretted the remark and that she called her three main rivals to apologize.

"I told them I felt badly, and that I had misspoken," she said. "They were all very gracious and accepted my apology. We all agreed that in the final days of the campaign, all the parties need to have patience and endurance."

2. i haven't seen many judy signs

and i can see why people would steal the milk nazi signs. they are blocking a lot of views.
ya know, i have a soft spot for judy. maybe we could get her to switch sides. i can't believe she still wants to be in that party.
