Political discourse
So, I love talking to Pillsbury about politics. Here's a sampling of our conversation tonight:

Zig: I like the Tweety icon, btw.
Pillsy: Yeah.
Pillsy: I hadn't had a good Avatar of Shame since Gonzo stepped down.
Pillsy: Although, gee, I should get the Mittatar in before he's completely annihilated on Super Tuesday, right?
Zig: Do you think Mitt or the Huckster is more likely to be out then?
Pillsy: I think Mitt.
Pillsy: I think Huck's going to hang in there in the hopes of getting the VP spot with McCain.
Zig: I hope St. 9ui11iani is out by then too.
Pillsy: Hopefully losing NY to McCain will finish Rudy.
Zig: Hopefully America's wang won't vote for him and it'll be over before Tsunami Tuesday.
Pillsy: FL is a toss-up between McCain and Romney.
Pillsy: Rudy isn't even gonna come close.
Zig: Yes, but I want the state to bitch-slap him like SC bitch-slapped Hillary today.
Pillsy: Damn. I was expecting Obama to beat her by maybe 15 points. But dayumn.
Zig: Did you hear his speech afterward? "Black people love the Obam-di-bam, love the Obam-di-bam / White people love the Obam-di-bam, love the Obam-di-bam / Puerto Ricans love the Obam-di-bam, love the Obam-di-bam / Samoans love the Obam-di-bam, love the Obam-di-bam"
Pillsy: At least we'll get another 2 weeks of Bill Clinton being a complete jackass.
Zig: See, I used to love the "Are you two sisters?" "Wanna see my pocket veto?" "I like the big girls" Bill Clinton. I don't like this red-faced "No really, I love Hillary and think she'd be great as president" Bill.
Pillsy: LOL.
Zig: And I assume Edwards is just sticking around to be king-maker. He seems to be kissing up to Barack lately, as if to say, "I'd make a great VP, honest!"
Pillsy: I think that's his hope.
Pillsy: However.
Pillsy: He just got his ass handed to him in his home state. Which he wasn't able to bring in '04.
Pillsy: Basically, I'm saying the man's problem is that he's a damn chump.
Zig: I thought the biggest "fuck you" he got was from Nevada. And why the hell is Gravel still in the race?
Zig: Well, his problem is that he's male and white. He needs to reinvent himself as a black woman ... perhaps even as a lesbian.
Pillsy: LOL.
Pillsy: I think Mike Gravel is too senile to remember that he's actually in the race long enough to drop out.
Pillsy: I mean, there's something wrong with that guy.
Zig: He's too busy throwing rocks into ponds and arguing with ducks.
Pillsy: Even Fred Thompson realized it was time for his nap.
Zig: I loved the WTF speech Fred gave a day before he dropped out.
Zig: You saw that, right? [http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/01/19/fred-thompsons-speech-to-nowhere/]
Pillsy: Also, I love how all the Republicans hate Mitt Romney so fucking much they keep forgetting to go after McCain.
Zig: Oh, while we're at it, here's my current favourite anaolgy: Gore : Nadar :: this year's Repub nom : Ron Paul.
Pillsy: What the hell is he even talking about?
Zig: I think he was reading a L&O script that never aired.
Zig: I even think he answered one of the debate questions with "Is this because I'm a lesbian?!"
Pillsy: Hahahaha.
Zig: It's a rare night when I get in to apropos lesbian comments. :^)
Zig: Oh, and by the way, I actually like Huckabee, except I sometimes get the feeling he might run a summer camp where boys gets molested by "men of the cloth".
Pillsy: Huckabee is so amazingly gay it's just not funny.
Pillsy: You just know there's a video of him sniffing blow out of some guy's ass crack out there.
Zig: There's nothing wrong with a man who like balls on his own chin ... as long as he's happy to admit that's what he likes.
Pillsy: OK. Maybe it is a little funny.
Zig: LOL, ever think he might have been the one in the stall next to Larry "Wide Stance" Craig?
Pillsy: Heh.
Zig: This is hands down the craziest election year ever.
Pillsy: It is.
Zig: So, what do you hope the scenario is for the general election?
Pillsy: I dunno.
Pillsy: Before Hilary got stomped today, I was kind of figuring that we'd get a Clinton/Obama ticket, which seemed pretty good.
Pillsy: But now it's way more up in the air.
Zig: See, here's what I want: Obama is the Dem nom. with Edwards as veep, McCain in the Repub. nom, Ron Paul as libertarian, Huckabee for the Christian's People Front, Mitt for the People's Front of Christianity ... oh, and Elizabeth K. in my lap saying she's leaving Dennis for me.
Pillsy: LOL
Zig: Was the "LOL" for the Life of Brian reference or for that fact that Lizzy K is HOT!
Pillsy: A mix of the two.
