Got that right Johnny.

Are you seriously bashing the intelligence of a self-made RHODES SCHOLAR?

Come on. Defining the word "IS" is not stupid, it's just a sleazy lawyer trick.

Can someone put her under the rock they found her? If she was not a Kennedy she would be working as a grocery check out girl.
She's a bad public speaker... don't know about her intellect so I'll reserve judgment... I know some brilliant people who can't speak at all and some great speakers who can't tie their shoes.

We come to accept a lot less in all [speaking, thinking and intelligence].

Most of the people who are great thinkers or of superior intelligence would not enter the political arena, so it leaves us with a bunch of good talkers. Yeah, I know, Obama's a good talker, but then again, so was Reagan. We don't have a written test for the other two for politicians.

It's really great, you know, that there are highly concerned Republicans such as yourself, you know, who are keeping everyone informed of these extremely important, you know, political issues!

Keep up the, you know, great work!

Does she have to have a home in MA for a certain period of time to be eligible? She lives full time in New York. Or can she come in as a carpet bagger like Hillary and others?
