Hey, I haven't seen her yet but a good friend of mine said John Edward's wife was fat. Is this true? He mentioned that she could put her hands in her pockets while she was naked.

quade 4 #8 July 28, 2004 Mr. Planet. I've worked with Cruella de Vil. I've broken bread with Cruella de Vil. I've . . . I better stop here . . . just suffice it to say that I -know- Cruella de Vil. Anyway, Ms. Heinz is NO Cruella. (not by a long shot) Geeze is that really the best you can do? Where the heck did you come up with -that- anyhow?

Muenkel 0 #12 July 28, 2004 Hey Tuna, I'm speaking as a Republican who is voting for GWB. Where does it get you by insulting Sen. Kerry and Sen. Edwards wives? It really is juvenile. If you disagree with the candidates, then just attack their platforms. Simple. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunaplanet 0 #13 July 28, 2004 At least we don't have to listen to Al Gore whine about the 00 election.

tunaplanet 0 #14 July 28, 2004 Although that wasn't as bad as Clinton spending the first 5 minutes of his speech talking about how they want to get rid of the 2 party image and concentrate on one America.....and then proceeds to bash the Republicans for the remaining 25 minutes.

peacefuljeffrey 0 #17 July 28, 2004 QuoteFor those of you who like to bandy about the "L" word so freely... if you watched the Dem Convention tonight... THOSE are liberals. I swear they use the same script every 4 years. A photo appears in today's Miami Herald showing the interior of a commuter train. In the aisle is a SWAT-type cop. The caption reads: "A transit security guard checks the bag of a passenger in Boston near the FleetCenter on Monday as a heightened security presence is evident before the start of the Democratic National Convention, which began later in the day. The photo shows the cop prying into a medium sized black duffel bag of a 20-something black male -- the only black in view in the photo, of 7 or 8 discernible passengers. I want to know when it became okay to subject commuters to random, warrantless searches of their belongings or persons. Is this not the type of thing Democrats scream about? I guess it's okay when it's done to keep them safe from attacks. Always the hypocrites. I really find myself wondering what would have happened if this guy had told the cop to piss off, there was no probable cause for a search and no warrant. They probably would have had him face down on the filthy floor of the train car with plasticuffs behind his back cutting into his flesh and a "drug-sniffing dog" going on-point for the bag of crack they planted in the duffel. Random warrantless searches of commuters. This is fuckin' SICK. --Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Was it important to mention that he was black? You don't know who was searched before or after the photo was taken. Was he the only one with a bag large enough to search? I agree though with your statement about warrantless searches. Bullshit. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

I thought that it made the police intrusion seem a bit more pointed. Okay, forget about the fact that he's black, then. Why are they searching the belongings of people just for being near the convention. Was this guy trying to get INTO the convention? No. He's on a TRAIN.

It's been in the press before that the train cops in Boston were going to be doing things like this (at least I think it has). Hell, there might even be a thread or two burried here or in TB about this very issue. I think it's just getting more attention due to the DNC being in town. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
