Who's going to sell their vote for 30 gallons of gas?
That's the Republican offer. 30 gallons of gas. It's embarrassing, on it's face, and unsettling in it's implication. We are for sale. We can be bought. 30 gallons of gas is the going price.

If it wasn't so sad, I'd find some funny finish, but there is none.

4. Amazingly enough, nobody.
The NYT today had an article how everyone, right, left, dem, repub is just incensed at the rather obvious attempt to bribe americans.

5. If the Shrubco makes that loan to us...
(it ain't no goddamn refund unless it comes from Fat Bastard's own accounts), I will donate it to a variety of Democratic congressional candidates in ten dollar increments. Then I will come here and fuckin' brag about it.

Forget $100...how about 500 shares of ExxonMobil just so I can think about it for a nanosecond before I reply "NO!"
