    I wondered what Jon's staff was looking at with the far away gaze of hope and love as they directed their eyes to upper right. Further investigation shows that just out of the camera's view was this:

      Great comedic connection. You should start your own cable show.

          How very true...rich white males....only ones capable of ruling, right?

          1: government by the few
          2: a government in which a small group exercises control especially for corrupt and selfish purposes; also : a group exercising such control
          3: an organization under oligarchic control

            SO why did Obama pick a white guy as a mate, instead of a woman or another black man?

              Actualy, Obama picked a black female as his mate. They are happily married and have two sweet kids

              As for his VP choice: he didn't choose a white guy; he chose an experienced senator.

                  Ironic, considering how much she has been the topic with talk show entertainers.

                Wolfie,

                From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                " A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding state of mind. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices even when these views are challenged or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable."

                Please study this for 3 days and then maybe you can understand what it means. Then look at yourself and see if it applies to you. This round of introspection may change your life.

                G.S.

                  But then again, CHANGE is not something that you especially want to hear about, now, is it?

                    That would describe Libs who envy the success of others while being unwilling to put forth the effort to succeed themselves.

                      Typical. Completely ignorant about how the term bigot applies to you. Reread it about a hundred times and look in the mirror.

                        Right, bigot only applies to Conservatives, right? Typical, and completely igorant.

                          Ironic, considering you applied it to a like groups of individuals in your message above.

                    don`t forget to add those bench-legislatures of Scalia, Roberts, and Thomas to the list.

                        Slate,

                        Please read my comment to Wolfie above. I think you could use some introspection as well.

                          It's an unfortunate truth that the Daily show seems to get the story right when most of the "real media" gets it wrong or ignores it altogether.

                            I fail to understand the irony. Besides, MSP is the acronym for these two twin cities which is actually what many people call them since they are right next to each other. Of course, where the billboard may actually be, whether in M or SP, may prove to be the clue to unlocking this breathtaking conundrum.

                            G.S.

                          Okay class, you have all pass from moron to rum-dum.You first act as a rum-dum is to fart in the bath tub,and bite as many bubbles as you can before they disappear.It will take a while to get it down right, but after reading your opinions I have every confidence you will really practice.

                            You seem to know a lot about farting in the tub and biting the bubbles. I would suspect it's from personal experience.

                            What a story. Not like the likes of Pelosi, Kerry, Gore, the murderer Ted, and on and on. Every time something starts to detract from the chosen one the race card is played over and over. Is this the best the Dems can do?

                              The RNC is in St. Paul, NOT Minneapolis!

                                Thanks Neo,

                                After seeing the billboard and then reading Wolfie's comment, my stomach hurts from laughing.
