So how do you like "Pinocchio Pence" as a nickname?

Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512470529#post19

This thread by DUer BobbyDrake has SO MUCH material in it to beat back any claims that Pence was anything more than a nice suit with a nose so long it reached all the way down from his face to the floor. As the debate went on and he denied the truth and sometimes shook his head "no no no" along with it, that's where my jaw wound up. All the way down on the floor!

I'm going to refer to Trump's boy as Pinocchio Pence from here on.

I also noticed our friend Pinocchio Pence demonstrated last night that he is a quintessential republi-CON. Other pundits actually pointed that out - that he wasn't representing Donald Trump so much as setting himself up for four years from now. TYPICAL republi-CON. Only in it for himself.

I've started tweeting and have learned some things:

If you add other Twitter handles, MORE people see it, including specific recipients you might want to target. And links themselves don't eat up your character count.

And yes, it IS disagreeable. I completely understand those who object to its use. I object to it on general principles myself.

But there are rare moments when... well... uh... it just might be deserved. If it's considered icky and derogatory, I think our ol' friend Pinocchio with his Pence on Fire may have earned it.
