Her name is...Twinkle?
Flipping stations, stopped on MSNBC (actually a rarity as I try to avoid all the news stations). On Coast to Coast with Ron Reagan and Monica "Mr." Crowley...Monica's republican stooley guest is named Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh. Twinkle.

Twinkle.

Monica...how can I take any talking head seriously...when they're named Twinkle. Then she says we Dems are "unAmerican". Ron started to give it to her for the comment and then let her off the hook.

Monica...I tinkle on your Twinkle.

1. What about Scooter? I think they like these ridiculous names for
some reason.

3. Maybe it's a pre-requisite...
if you truly want to be an asshole...you have to have an asshole's name.

14. That's what I like about junior, he doesn't fuck around with soft
names. "Turd Blossom" would be a good name for Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh, the Alabama swamp mucking queen and chicken plucking champ five years running.

35. It candy coats the evil when you laugh at their names.
Or something like that, I'm sure.

I suggest we start calling Bushitler "Tinkerbell." So much friendlier.

2. Twinkle
There's some poetry there.

But you can't really expect substance out of a conservatoid, can you?

4. Twinkle ......
I just wish Abbie Hoffman were alive to debate ..... Twinkle!

Ron Reagan exposed her as a pathetic lightweight. Yet I long for someone funny to make full use of .... Twinkle.

5. When she made that tired "unAmerican" comment...
all I could think was, "Why should I take someone seriously who allowed themselves to be called Twinkle all their lives?"

10. She's back!
Who would name their child "Twinkle"? Who, I ask? Even to nicname a child "Twinkle" seems like neglect, if not abuse.

But Twinkle is back on MSNBC. She has ... well, sort of .... a glow.

18. She's The Chair of the Alabama Republican Party
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 12:25 PM by AlabamaYankee
And has been active in political affairs for years. It's not a name to be taken seriously, but she must be effective in spite of it.

22. BUT SHE WAS MILQUETOAST!!!!
Edited on Mon Nov-21-05 12:29 PM by Buddyblazon
All she could do was offer up the same empty platitudes.

THIS IS WHAT THESE PEOPLE HAVE TO OFFER IN THE DEBATE? THIS IS IT? IT WAS LIKE SHE WAS READING CUE CARDS!

And SHE IS THE REPUBLICAN CHAIR IN ALABAMA?!?!?!?!

What is wrong with people that would even take that stuff seriously. It's a frigging laugh.

24. She ran unopposed ....
to fill the seat vacated by the last person to beat her. She makes Dan Quayle look deep.

21. Fey nicknames (or even proper names) seem to be popular in
some segments of our society..."Brownie", "Scooter", etc.. it almost seems intentionally done to make evil or incompetent people seem less so.

38. Maybe that's why they do that
So when they get caught they can say "but they have such a nice nickname, surely they can't be that bad! Liar!" Or something like that.

25. I had a t-shirt once;
That had ALABAMA emblazioned on it. I was somewhere and a man asked me where I was from, in a drawl. I turned around and here was this middle aged WHITE man, his wife and two teen-aged children. I thought a moment and told this hopeful man who thought he had stumbled upon a comrade that, 'this old thing? It was on sale a while back' in MY best midwestern. The man's smile faded and he slunked away.

27. We have a Tweet here in Honolulu
Tweet Coleman is the local sapokesperson for the FAA.

What a Letterman moment that would be! "Twinkle, Tweet. Tweet, Twinkle."!

28. Ever notice how many "society Rethug" wives have cutesy names like that?
Most are probably nicknames, unlike (apparently) Twinkle's.

Ugh.

29. I used to have a friend named Twinkle
And believe me, she was a die-hard Democrat. I wonder if it is a Southern name? My friend grew up in DC.

30. Reminds me of this newsanchor named Bambi Deere.
Can't remember where I was, but I was watching local news while traveling, and the newsreader was named BAMBI DEERE.

I felt so sorry for her. :-)

31. I have female cousins named Twinkle, Shiny, Sony, and Sunshine
Some parents are just retarded...or hippies :shrug:

Indians (I'm Indian), blacks, celebrities, and hippies often get out of control when naming their children. Personally, I think it's a form of child abuse.

In fact, I hate my middle name because it's GEORGE :grr: :sarcasm:

33. Same here. I was flipping channels and stayed on MSNBC
just long enough to hear "Twinkle" say in her Alabama accent that the Dems are "unamerican."

More of that uniting going on, I guess.

He said change my last name, too, to Toes.
