Harry Reid: Turn Out the Lights, the Tea Party’s Over

Filed Under Politics, Tea Party | 13 Comments

Filed Under Media, Politics | 12 Comments

I don’t think I’ve heard anybody over the age of 17 use the term “dumb twat” in a long time. Maher’s dangerously close to inviting a plagiarism lawsuit from the fellow PDS sufferer Kathy Griffin here:
