5. I told ya, thanks...

How could I forget Snotty ??!

I hated that guy.

But to tell the truth, he had a hard job lying his ass off everyday for Bush and Cheney

I think he held the 'liar post' for half the time Ari did.

In either case, lying your ass off everyday wears you down

I'm sure they both are now in high paid jobs from the same corporations they were lying for to make trillions

Snotty Scotty!!!

10. I always called John Kerry "Hairy Kerry".
And I do believe I saw a DU post with that nickname back in around 2002 or 2003 or so.
