I'm thinking that the hair is not overblown. Maybe the blow dryer is used on high heat for the initial dry and set. However, the result is a bodacious comb over, likely held down by crazy glue.

Wasn't "bodacious" one of Jethro Bodine's favorite words?

Yep, but given all his faults, he had terrific political talent/instincts (BJ's notwithstanding). I'm not sure anyone in the current GOP field has these attributes.

Well, we didn't know that in 91 either

Ah, the good old days, when the GOP was declared dead and about to disband, way back in 08

Hair huh? I was thinking of what style trend the new MRS. President will set.

And the GOP name will be mud again.

And alienating the zealot base might turn out to be a good thing, if the GOP doesn't stop wasting time grudge f**king it's enemies and start doing something about the economy, like they promised.

2012 is starting to feel like 1994

Whatever her name is, I'm pretty sure it won't be PALIN.

No succession to the throne needed. As for Hillary...she looks beat. I must say...she is suprising many with her fortitude. Someone needs to make the change promised. Even if it is the sign on the restroom door.
