DEL.ICIO.USOne of the few people eligible to joke about missing fingers
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Former U.S. senator Max Cleland is in Montana, campaigning for Democrat Jon Tester, who’s running against GOP incumbent U.S. Sen. Conrad Burns. This in today’s Billings Gazette:
“During his speech, Cleland made light of his own amputations by grabbing Tester’s left hand, which is missing three fingers lost in a meat grinder.
“‘At least he won’t be putting his hand in the till like someone we know,’ Cleland said, referring to Burns’ campaign donations of about $150,000 from Jack Abramoff, his clients and associates.”

James—man you are crazy—the number of wounded Vets like the Statesman Max Cleland stagger the imagination—shame shame on you James for saying we don’t care about our veterans—especially those such as Max—and all the wounded returning from Iraq for NOTHING— EXCEPT less security for the USA because of a badly misguided idiotic George W.Bush who alone is proof of Charles Darwin’s ideas!!
