    Watching the Repubs all wet their pants to cozy up to him and show him
    in their press conferences was embarrassing if I recall, kind of like
    Rudy Giuliani organizing that press event in the parking lot of a
    landscaper business next to a strip joint. Reeks of desperation.

    Go appeal the common voter, yes, but don't be asswipes about it. But
    asking any politcian to not be an asswipe is probably asking too much
    these days.
