I saw Ollie North today! (yucks)
He was signing his latest book of shit at the Borders here in Glen Allen, VA.

It was sick to see all the middle-aged men & women fawning over him. He really does have a goofy look on his face, too!

I asked an employee to help me find a DVD that came out yesterday and she said, "sorry, it usually isn;t that busy here." So I said, "yeah, big demand for criminals huh?" She laughed.

She wanted to spill hot coffee in his lap but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

2. Why didn't you buy Al Franken's book...
.. and take it up to the piece of crap to sign?

Better yet, buy his book and rip it up in front of him?

I work in Reston, VA and while eating lunch with (Conservative) friends one work day, Idiot Ollie was a table away and I made it a point to say aloud that he gives me diarrhea and walked out of the restaurant. My friends later said he didn't even flinch!

He is one dude I absolutely hate.

3. Goofy look.
Probably the the realization that, "Hey, I'm a criminal - I lied to congress, but I got big bucks for my book, big bucks for my radio show, Faux News pays me for occasional reports, and these morans love me".

Come to think of it, I'd have a goofy look to.

4. IRAN-CONTRA
I was 9 at the time, but what all exactly did he do? And what was the deal with Fawn Hall?

I just remember it would always interrupt Transformers & it really pissed me off.

5. There is a God
The Republicans' 1994 sweep...they blow us away. But Virginians were smart enough to keep this bozo out of the Senate. Imagine if we had to see him signing books as SENATOR North *shudder*.

6. One of the smarter things Va voters
have done was reject that scum for Senate. I had my bags packed in case he won. I wasn't about to stay in a state that would elect him to public office. One of my brothers voted for him and when my Mom found out she threatened to write him out of her will and disown him.
