That women would be "excited" to have a woman like her on the ticket leaves me embarrassed. And that ANYONE would find her "ready" or "qualified" to be President erases my mental blackboard completely.

As for Tim ...It IS a great image, isn't it, Macon? As for Tim Wise, sometimes I think the rest of us could just shut up and pass his stuff around endlessly, but I guess that wouldn't be fair to him.
