3. Come on these are the same people that still call liberals hippies

They are stuck in 1969 and haven't moved on since. They are also still upset that the democrats forced Nixon out of office and Ford was a hero for giving Nixon a pardon. They never look past yesterday.

4. Good fugging grief

Fox and Cannon each suggested to The Sunday Times that the other had taken the initiative.

Cannon said that he merely recommended computer testing of the books. He doubted whether Obama wrote his autobiography.

A fugging professor of Constitutional History can't write a book? Why because dumb fugging Rethugs can't put two words together.

5. Here's what killed the deal

"Millican took a preliminary look and found the charges “very implausible”. A deal was agreed for more detailed research but when Millican said the results had to be made public, even if no link to Ayers was proved, interest waned."

In other words, if the findings debunked the claim, the republican idiot did not want that made public.
