1. Made all the more appaling by the offer of credit against one's...

...obligation for community service. Because, you know those minority "actors" no doubt have been convicted of something. And the "in lieu of payment" means we can save a few bucks.

2. If that isn't Cheeto all over.

Stiff you - and then insult you while he's at it.

I hope Joe has someone count all the china and silverware when the orange kleptocrat leaves office.

3. Reminds me that when we hoped that Michael Dukakis would go to the White House...

...I hoped that he, in a old Greek tradition, would celebrate the occasion by breaking Nancy's china. But that's completely different. Just a fond old memory of getting rid of Reagan.

5. The great Mike Dukakis.

I remember feeling bad for him, the way Old Man Bush pulled ahead (he had been consistently behind, you'll recall) mostly by way of that Willy Horton ad.

But in hindsight, I realized that it was better that way:

Had Dukakis won, he would have no doubt been blamed for the recession that was already coming down the pike thanks to Reagan's Wall Street bubble and S&L disaster.

A good man, at a bad time.

7. He was a good man, wasn't he. Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern....

....were also good men and the country has suffered by not realizing it.

8. Yeah. Money talks.

And for many years, it wanted mostly Republicans in the White House.

Until Dubya and the Orange Menace.

4. Kleptocrat is exactly right. Always about the money.

6. And I suspect that's part of what his Chumpkins love about him

That he's a criminal and a swindler - yet he's always gotten away with it (the way no average person can).

"A stupid man's idea of a smart man," Mark Twain, I believe, once put it.

9. This should be on a tv ad
