Douglas' vice chairman

Gov. Jim Douglas today expressed surprise at the situation his New York counterpart is in and called it a shame, but he did not specifically call for Eliot Spitzer to resign, though the Republican Governors Association has.

"It's a decision for him to make," Douglas said.

Douglas is chairman of the Coalition of Northeast Governors and Spitzer is his vice chairman. "This was very big surprise to me," Douglas said.

The timing of Spitzer's apparent meeting with a highly paid prostitute had Douglas' mind whirring because the the National Governors Association met around the same time in Washington, but apparently Spitzer's encounter was a week or two before that meeting. Douglas said that is most decidedly not the atmosphere surrounding governors' meetings.

Someone should ask our Governor if he's ever paid for sex.

Except for you, why would anyone care? Is that the only way it's available to you?

There's a reason why Shummy's wife won't let him run for Governor.

There is a reason why Douglas's wife wants him to get out of the house and be Governor.

Didn't Bush tell us in 2000 that Sen. McCain fathered a child with a black prostitute? Talk about laying. If Bush said it, it must be true.

Every word Bush says is a lie including and, but and the.

He's a gop, for Christ sake. The truth ain't doin' him any favors.

Ignorant bupkis from anonymous, white-supremacist trash pretendin' to have completed the 4th grade, that's a good one, little factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest fella.

....said by the proud alumnus that proudly majored in the 5th Grade.

So everyone wants to know, will they see you this year at the Class Reunion? They need to know how much possum and Red Man they need to order?

Everyone, eh? In other words, you and the other ignorant-ill-informed, factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, bupkis-spewin', Anti-American, white-supremacist-slime, nameless-nitwits dim enough to buy the little bigot boy's act.

Nice try.

Dismissed.

Can't you answer my question? Should I put you down for your regular order of 1 possum and 2 pouchs of Red Man?

You've certainly answered mine.

You're ignorant trash with bupkis.

"Pollina apparently can sit around coffee shops all day long while his "business" can't even pay farmers what they were promised. Mixing "progressives" with private enterprise is like mixing oil and water."

Nah, more like Bush, dry holes, insider trading and profitable, ethical business practices.

"And this "entrepreneur" wants to be governor?"

Yeah, and Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders want to represent Vermont in the US Senate, little bigot boy.

What are the odds of that comin' to pass, schmuck?

"(Can anyone picture Brooklyn Bernie running a private-enterprise business?)"

Ya mean like Newt, Phil Graham and Ted Stevens, little factually-challenged fella?

I can't picture you with a case or a clue, Tarrant and/or McMuffin buying an election or anyone beating Bernie in an election.

Glancing at his record, evidently, neither can anyone else, little bigot boy.

Tarrant could spend seven million bucks losing to Fred Tuthill's coffin, bubble boy.

And that was back in '06 when 7 million bucks was real money, schmuck.

Your latest load of factually-challenged fecal matter reminds of the time Shrub said, "The problem with the French is that there's no French word for entrepreneur."

Ya couldn't make this slop up.

Unfortunately for the Country and the State of Vermont, unlike Bush, his brain-dead, bush-league, Anti-American supporters and UnAmerican gops in general, I don't have to.

Dismissed.

Must be rough seeing your boy Hussein Obama and the shrew Hillary now losing to McCain by double digits!!! (See today's Drudge) Guess the American public has decided it doesn't really want to see their taxes go up, including new gas taxes, or a bunch of pansy-ass liberals raising the white flag of surrender over the Capitol. Oh well, you'll still have Brooklyn Bernie and Pat to coo over! (And Douglas as Guv)

BOO HOO!
