he's on Inside Politics shredding Kerry's tax plan.

It's scary as hell watching this guy.

1. It's because his lips don't move when he talks.
Also because what comes out of his mouth is utter fucking drivel.

:hi:

3. LOL
He doesn't look like he's human -- more like a ventriloquist's dummy.

7. ...and he always has that goofy approximation of a smile
pasted on his face. I'd love to see a picture of his wife and kids. I know he has 'em. I just can't go there in my mind.

4. His beady little eyes don't blink.
It's a good thing he was born into a wealthy family. I wouldn't want him scaring children in the shoe dept. at Sears.

5. During the 1996 GOP primaries, I remarked that Forbes is SO damn dull...
...he makes Bob Dole look like Liberace.

Got some laughs, so I was happy. ;)

17. I will not even give that question the dignity of a response
you of all people should know better than to raise the sheer sexual charisma of Alan Colmes in a public forum.

10. Wasn't Dubya's "Tax Relief" based on Forbes's own tax plan?
If so, why the f**k should we even listen to what this mountebank has to say?

21. Forbes was the first model in the product line
During WWII the uber wealthy families set out to genetically engineer themselves a figurehead leader....I mean who would have thought REAGAN was ever going to be President he was chasing skirts around Hollywood.

The Forbes family went first. The hard drive worked fine for their purposes but their were some serious problems with the "body" the outer casing. The never did get the blinking function to work.

Next up was the Danforth's. Vast improvement had been made to the outer shell but the wiring on the guts of it were all screwy.

The Bush's were next and after several attempts that came up with W. A happy medium had been found between the two earlier models.

Unfortuneatly the war ended and funding became tough. They knew they couldn't pass W off as the first year model so they nominated and publicized the Danforth/Quayle model to soften the blow to the public when the Bush model was finally unveiled. It worked, W didn't seem as bad as Quayle.

This is a theory I have been working on but it is important to note that it is not based on science or fact in any way. Thank you.

24. Inside Politics is a republican spin show
That skank bitch who's the co-host is such a nasty loon of a shill for the GOP. I have no earthly idea why anybody, especially her, thought she should be on TV. She looks like her head would explode if the Bushies didn't totally control everything.

26. Do you mean Judy Woodruff?
I can't figure out what her story is. She is married to Al Hunt who is definitely a liberal journalist.

Did you ever hear the story about how * confronted Al Hunt, Judy Woodruff and their son (who was something like 4 years old at the time) at a D.C. restaurant? This was during poppy bush's campaign and apparently Al Hunt said something unflattering about poppy bush in a column. W was said to be drunk at the time, and walked up to their table and called Hunt an f---ing son of a b----, if my memory serves me.

I can't figure out just how Judy Woodruff can be so bush-friendly on her show.

29. Oops, I'm thinking of Gloria Borger
Edited on Fri Mar-26-04 06:15 PM by maggrwaggr
Judy Woodruff isn't as bad as I said, although she's still pretty bad.

Gloria Borger is just a hideous monster of a woman

25. He's wealthy and has entered politics before...
Isn't that enough?!

I wish he'd go back in time and shred his own testicles; therefore not creating any children who'd suffer under this godforsaken inhuman economy he and his repuke buddies helped to create!

Okay, that's harsh. Oh well. Repukes are much harsher toward us, what with Ann Koulter wanting us to die and all...

27. Old Flat tax Forbes
Can anyone remember just how much ole Steve would have saved on taxes under his plan? I remember someone worked up the numbers and it was an obscene amount.
