Hell, why not get Coody to run against Pryor?

Dems will win the 3rd district when the GOP wins the 1st. As the lines are drawn now, that will never happen. Surely you all don't want the one shining region in the state to begin to resemble Lee, Phillips, Desha, Chicot and other counties which have been under the stewardship of Dem rule for 120+ years. Give me a f**king break.

A careful one-eyed reading of the online version of the NY Times this morning revealed, buried down in it a love story for the ages. It seems that Sandra Day O' Connor's Alzheimer's inflicted husband is in love! Yes, now advanced to the stage that he doesn't remember he is married to the first woman to ever sit on the Supreme Court, Mr. O'Connor is a 77 year old teenager in love. The new woman's name is Kay and they're seen all around the rest home holding hands and cooing like doves. How sweet!

I was about to get on Dillards.com to send them a congratulatory gift when the bad part of this story popped into my fevered head. According to the new book out about her, Sandra Day O' Connor retired from the Supreme Court in order to spend more time and take care of her ailing husband. Her retirement plans clouded her vision of John Roberts, neo-con, big military-industrial complex wolf in sheep's clothing stealth bomber for the far right who quickly became Chief Justice when Rehnquist started his dirt nap.

Which opened the door for Honest Sam Alito, a salamander looking far right fellow that gives Clarence Thomas a woody. Now, thanks to Sandra Day O' Connor's retirement we'll get to watch everything we once held dear go under the wheels of a 5 to 4 vote. All because Sandra Day O' Connor wanted to take good care of her sick husband.

To add insult to injury, about the time Sandra Day O' Connor's butt made an imprint in her Barcalounger back home in Arizona, her husband's condition worsened and she was forced to place him in a rest home where he has now found the love of his next 15 minutes in the lovely, infirm, Kay. Oh how sorry I am that they canceled Who Wants to Marry My Dad?

Let me connect the dots here. Our Supreme Court got a giant jerk to the right because an old woman left her post to take care of her sick husband. Then as neo-cons fill our Court, the husband is forced into a rest home, removing the care taking duties from the newly retired wife. Then as America slides into the shitter, the sickly husband falls in love with another old lady in a wheelchair. And now the New York Times turns it all into a Love Story....where the hell is Ali MacGraw? Being Republican means never having to say you're sorry?

So ladies and germs....America's legal system was junked for nothing. Sandra Day O' Connor wanders an empty house, watches her husband nibble the ear of another woman, sits back and sees her work of a lifetime turned to dust, and America leads the world in invasion and torture. May the Chinese takeover be swift and painless..........

Out of all this I'm left with a feeling that it is nearly criminal for Dan Coody to wait 2 years to try and knock off a little House Representative when the big turd in the punchbowl is one Mark Pryor whose up for reelection next year. Why spend your time uprooting crab grass when your house is on fire right now? 10 John Boozmans cannot do a 3rd of the damage as one bad Mark Pryor. Aim higher Dan! Pull our fat out of the fire next year, Dan! There may never be a 2010, Dan! Don't be a Sandra Day O' Connor, Dan! Coody for Senate '08!

Let the love-sick click on my name

You have confused me, DBI (not a major achievement). Why are you talking about O'Connor's husband having a girl-friend when you are equally guilty, callously tossing Rebecca Kennedy aside for Dan Coody's charms? At least O'Connor's husband doesn't know what he's doing -- you're just a big ole fickle two-timer.

Seriously, why do you keep saying Coody has to wait until 2010 to run against Boozman?

I'm still in Rebekah's camp, I'm just encouraging everyone in Arkansas to run against Pryor next year. There is safety in numbers, ya know. And unless I've slipped a cog, I don't believe Boozman runs for reelection again until 2010.....correct me if I'm wrong, Veg. I wish everyone on earth was up for reelection next month....I'm ready for a good house cleaning.

Deathbyinches, I'll correct you and enjoy doing it. Do you vote in every election? Any high school government student knows that U.S. Representatives have two year terms. You must be a product of our worthless public school system.
