I seem to recall she referred to Dubbya as her husband in one monumental slip-up some years back, which is especially strange because she doesn't have one. Perhaps her mind and her mouth are out of sync. Well, she’s never been the most articulate person.

Senator Obama’s achievement drew praise from a Republican, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the highest-ranking black person in President George W Bush’s cabinet.

“It’s a country that has overcome many, many, now years, decades of, actually a couple of centuries, of trying to make good on its principles,” Rice said.

“And I think that what we’re seeing is, an extraordinary expression of the fact that ‘we the people’ is beginning to mean all of us,” Rice said, a reference to the opening line of the US Constitution.

I never said it was the most amazing show ever recorded. But to say it's completely humourless is unfair. And you seem to remember an awful lot about a show you despise. I wouldn't be surprised if you watch it just to see what else offends you. So typical of Muslims here. Only approve of something that is exactly in line with their beliefs. Is it scary how well I know you? I don’t see what wonderful has to do with it. I never said it was the most amazing show ever recorded. But to say it’s completely humourless is unfair.

I'm guessing you were going funny...? SBS should attach a warning that one should not operate heavy machinery or drive a car after reading this verbiage

As should you:

“The over-muscled prose hangs like a carcass over the malnourished grammatical skeleton.”
