If the smell fits...

Also I still like referring to him as "the Bishop" and Shitt Onmee has begun to grow on me a bit as of late...

in reference to the Republican label of President Clinton "slick willie".....however it became apparent quite early in the campaign, that the man was anything but slick..

how much he and his backers can take from the treasury. Just like the Bush administration. I feel it's going on with the Obama administration too, but it's more like something he's had to live with. It's not a designed strategy. Unfortunately Obama took money from the banksters and is in a tough position for doing anything to cut them off.

MAYBE we will see some real reform with a second Obama term. We'll only see the looting ramped up under Robme.

I just naturally call him "Mitch".

I remember back while Newt was still in the running and Letterman's monologue went something like, "If Newt is short for Newton, then what is Mitt short for...Mittens?".

Also back then, David remarked that Mitch reminds him of the closer at a Cadillac dealership, so that's been pretty much a running comment at least once a month on the show, something about him looking like a car salesman.

Anyway, I've been corrected by people in normal conversations around my area, for using "Mitch". Can't help it...I'm a loyal Letterman fan.
