Tuesday, 13 November 2012 15:34 posted by Daro You're absolutely right, and my heart sank when I heard Senator Clinton's latest posturing.The trouble is, she's quite some way behind Senator "bomb Pakistan" Obama in spray-on testosterone.And Senator McCain remains well ahead for singing about bombing Iran...So that seems to leave, er, none of them!
