Lloyd Bentsen Could Not Be Reached for Comment

Since the Democrats’ 1988 vice presidential nominee destroyed Dan Quayle for comparing himself to John F. Kennedy, most Republicans have stayed well away from that sand trap. Scott Brown, the GOP’s longshot candidate in the Massachusetts special election to fill the seat once held by both Ted and John F. Kennedy, dives right in.

Even if you look past the shoddy history at work here, is it possible to watch this without wincing?

And the income tax rate when JFK assumed office was 20% for the lowest bracket and 91% for the top bracket. Compare this with 10% for the lowest bracket and 35% for the highest bracket today.

Income taxes have already been cut beyond anything JFK ever imagined, but nice try anyway Scott Brown!

He dives right in, alright. Into an empty pool. the same empty pool his party raided for eight years.

I'm sure his message will resonate….with the same greedy A**holes that almost destroyed this country.

When you are counting objects, you go “0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D…”.

When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32 bits.

When your wife says “If you don't turn off that darn machine and come to bed,then I am going to divorce you!”, and you chastise her for for omitting the else clause.

When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the next page.

When you look for your car keys using: “grep keys /dev/pockets”

When after fooling around all day with routers etc, you pick up the phone and start dialing an IP number.

When you get in the elevator and double-press the button for the floor you want.

When not only do you check your email more often than your paper mail, but you remember your {network address} faster than your postal one.

When you go to balance your checkbook and discover that you're doing the math in octal.

When you dream in 256 pallettes of 256 colors.

Have a nice day
Williams

Here is this guy who really takes care of his body; he lifts weights and jogs five miles every day.

One morning, he looks into the mirror and admires his body. He notices that he is really sun tanned all over except one part and he decides to do something about it.

He goes to the beach, completely undresses and buries himself in the dand except for the one part sticking out.

Two little old ladies are strolling along the beach and one looks down and says, “There really is no justice in this world.”

The other little old lady says, “What do you mean?”

The first little old lady says, “Look at that.”

“When I was 10 years old, I was afraid of it.”

“When I was 20 years old, I was curious about it.”

“When I was 30 years old, I enjoyed it.”

“When I was 40 years old, I asked for it.”

“When I was 50 years old, I paid for it.”

“When I was 60 years old, I prayed for it.”

“When I was 70 years old, I forgot about it.”

“And now that I'm 80, the damned things are growing wild!!”

Thanks
Lamb

A little girl walks into her parents' bathroom and notices for the First time, her father's nakedness.

Immediately, she is curious: he has equipment that she doesn't have. She asks, “What are those round things hanging there, daddy?”

Proudly, he replies, “Those, sweetheart, are God's Apples of Life.

Without them we wouldn't be here.”

Puzzled, she seeks her mommy out and tells her what daddy has said.

To which mommy asks, “Did he say anything about the dead branch they're hanging from?”

Dear Editor,

I have two brothers, one works at Microsoft, the other was sentenced to death in the gas chamber.

My mother died of insanity when I was three years old, my two sisters are prostitutes and my father sells drugs.

Recently, I met a girl who was released from a reformatory where she served time for smothering her illegitimate child to death.

I love this girl very much and want to marry her.

My problem is this:

Shall I tell her about my brother who works at Microsoft?

Sincerely,
Larry

regards
Donner

An old maid wanted to travel by bus to the pet cemetery with the remains of her cat. As she boarded the bus, she whispered to the driver, I have a dead pussy.

The driver pointed to the woman in the seat behind him and said, “Sit with my wife. You two have a lot in common.

regards

To me, the premise of your blog post does not take into account that Quayle was from Indiana which made that an easy target for a dumb personal attack by Bentsen that was admittedly helped him win the all-important Vice Presidential debate (but umm, I don't remember Lloyd B. actually serving as Vice President for some reason.) Scott Brown is a born and bred hard working Mass. resident…and we here can relate to who elected John F. Kennedy to national office to begin with. Please support Scott Brown next Tuesday to represent us in the US Senate.

How interesting….does he mean the same JFK who was boinking 19 year old interns and mobsters girlfriends in the WH…..the same JFK who accomplished next to nothing in his 3 years as President…..the same JFK who got us within a hairs breath of nuclear war due to his incompetence and inexperience. He wants to associate himself with that guy?
