...but good sport; and as somebody who seems to set fox's political agenda, she's worth keeping an eye on!

for somebody who always slates 'the msm', she doesn't half cosy up to newscorp - not that she's a hypocrite at all... ...it's just that she also won't hear a word said against palin ('you go girl!') because it's sexist to attack her; but she clearly fucking hates mrs obama! i could go on... ...and on...

...but i need my heart pills already!

Re: shouldn't vote?
it's BS.
we outlawed literacy tests because of this shit.
instead of getting people to 'stay home and not vote', why not provide them with a nonpartisan website where they can learn the issues?
