Fact Number 11. I have gone through 200 boxes of nicotine patches and gum since the start of the primary season.
all paid for by donations from my campaign funds
Fact No.12
Barack’s worst nightmare involves a shadowy Rev. Wright standing over him and hoarsely groaning: “Luuke, I am your Faaather”…….
When will politicians learn to discuss politics and leave comedy to the professionals?
Uh, Jed, he was on David letterman. It’s a comedy show.
Fact number 12 - I hate it that I have to pretend to accept gays now. This is so lame.
JM,
“Uh, Jed, he was on David letterman. It’s a comedy show.”
Not while he was on it, it wasn’t!
Obama ‘made up his facts’ for a comedy show. George WMD Bush made up HIS ‘facts’ to justify going to war.
I’ll take the lousy comedian any day.
Fact 13: Bill and I went out drinking. Bill got thrown in jail for using a cigar inappropriately. I had to make a 3AM phone call to Hillary.
The one I always liked was during the 2000 White House transition, and George looked up from the papers he was reading in the Oval Office and asked Bill where he might find the little boy’s room. Bill showed him where it was and went back to the papers. George was suitably impressed by the facility, “Gee, What class! It’s got this beautiful solid gold urinal!” He couldn’t wait to tell Laura about it, who related the story to Hillary. That night Hillary climbed into bed and rolled over to Bill. “Honey, I know who peed in your saxophone.”
