Funny. I thought we’d see pigs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are two eternal constants here:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is always <\/em>windy in North Dakota. This time of year, it blows from west to east.<\/li>\n
  2. Except when Nick Coleman faces west and talks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Back to Nick:<\/p>\n

    Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 by a Republican Congress (led by horn dogs whose own peccadilloes soon came to light) for lying to a grand jury about his relationship with a White House intern.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    (Koff).<\/p>\n

    (Koff koff koff koff).<\/p>\n

    (Koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff koff).<\/p>\n

    Whew.<\/p>\n

    (Koff koff).<\/p>\n

    Don’t know where that coughing attack came from. That was a bad one.<\/p>\n

    Ten years later, a Democratic Congress has failed to impeach George W. Bush for lying the country into a bloody and unnecessary war, undermining civil liberties and employing torture.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    And ten later, Nick “I’m Not A DFL Monkey” Coleman still can’t tell the difference between a president getting jobbed and a president doing his job.<\/p>\n

    So much for change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    Indeed.<\/p>\n

    I’m done with this garbage.<\/p>\n
