1. I like her snarky sense of humor --
when it's off the cuff, she can be pretty right-on.

3. Her cosmetic surgeon.
Edited on Sat May-03-08 09:12 PM by Genevieve
I think she looks great for 61 (though I don't care for her style, pantsuits, everything all old-lady looking matchy-matchy). She's kind of pretty.

I can't think of anything else I like about her.

13. I don't think she has had surgery, I though we would have missed
her taking all that time. I do believe it is a cosmetic fix, because sometimes she looks older than at other times. I agree she looks great, and I would like to know what she uses.

21. Oh, please --
I gave her a compliment. She looks good.
There was nothing negative about it.

(besides for the fact that my cousin in DC
is one of her doctors).

22. That would be something
And there are paths that could be taken as a Senator toward that end as well. I wonder if she would not have been, and could be, a more effective Senator if the considerations of future presidential runs were not tying her hands...

14. She fully vetted Obama
The ongoing democratic primary brought out "Wright" in the Spring instead of the fall. This will be a great help to Obama in November. The longer contest also helped Obama build "inroads" in several key battle ground states that will serve us well in the general election.

23. I think Forrest Gump said something about that...
Not to be too snarky - but we have yet to see. The option for monumental destructive stupidity is still quite open, though I don't think she will use it and so would like to agree with you.

26. Beautiful right wing site you're linking to there. You a proud reader are you?
http://www.danzfamily.com/archives/2008/04/charlton_heston_19232008.php

The Heston obit for instance:

Charlton Heston died yesterday at the age of 84 with his wife of 64 years, Lydia, at his side. I had the immense pleasure of meeting Mr. Heston and his wife in 1991 at an awards ceremony for President Ronald Reagan. Heston was incredibly humble and friendly and, if you didn't known him, you would have been unable to tell him apart from the other attendees. He was a man of unparalleled character and accomplishment.

Charlton Heston marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. in the 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington, D.C., where King delivered his famous "I Have A Dream" speech. (Above photo is Heston with Sidney Poitier and nut-job Harry Belafonte at the 1963 march.) But, Heston's favor with the Hollywood left (redundant?) dwindled when decades later the demand for equal rights which he fought for, became a cry for special rights. Combined with his staunch defense of the Second Amendment in the face of Hollywood's desire to pick and choose what rights apply and to whom, solidified the left's hatred of this great man.

Heston was President of the National Rifle Association from 1998 to 2003. In 2000, at the 129th NRA convention, Heston proclaimed: "As we set out this year to defeat the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to say those words again for everyone within the sound of my voice to hear and to heed, and especially for you, Mr. Gore: 'From my cold, dead hands!'"

There's no way to do justice to a man like Charlton Heston in a few short paragraphs. However, some insight can gained from his own words. After the jump is a very telling speech he gave to the Harvard Law School Forum February 16, 1999, entitled, "Winning the Cultural War." I strongly encourage you to read it.

29. Nothing funny about Posting RW material. Its hard to tell obama fans and RWer's
apart these days. And your post just proves that fact.

31. The OP was trying to start the process of coalescing around an eventual nominee.
Recognizing strengths of the person you are not supporting is the first step in that process.
