Does he like you or does he like you like you?

Does Joannie get fired as campaign manager?

Oh, and he said, you"ll need 30 million to counter all of the negative ads from the Koch brothers.

We have the best congress money can buy.

“Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress; but I repeat myself.” – Mark Twain.“Our laws have more unintended consequences than intended ones, because congressmen can only hold one thought in their heads at a time.” -My friend who spends way too much time around these people

And to everyone who keeps ripping on their spawn, Jeff..Let’s not forget that while Rick and Joanie are great people..they weren’t the best parents. I recall the pregnancy being unplanned and them chasing their careers in the early days while dumping Jeff off at a suspect daycare that used television and Twinkies to calm the mini-masses. It’s no wonder he turned out a little jaded and self centered. Still..would you rather have Jeff or Earl as a son?

If they are working together at the campaign, it should be ok at least for a little while… As I remember, Joanie and Rick did get involved, while Joanie remained in politics, whereas Rick became a journalist.

Crossed arms…never a good sign.

It was a comment on the reality of todays politics. And from what I have observed, the trolls don’t need anything to fire them up.

Different mission objectives. Joanie hit hers…

@montessoriteacherRick is covering the congressional race for the Washington Post. WP and Rick have a lot invested in the race because they broke the story of how crooked Ginny’s opponent is.

Oops, you are right, LWP. I forgot that detail about Rick.
