"Here's the joke in question from 1986:

Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a
gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she
finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to
hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, `Where is that marvelous ape?'

The MEDIA's complicity in McCain's sexism is absolutely horrendous. The bile
that comes out of this man's mouth, and the media has yet to cover one bit
of it. Even THE MCLAUGHLIN GROUP of all people, including mclaughlin himself
thinks McCain is the media darling. For god's sake, he had a BBQ with the
Associated Press, who we've just found has been in very friendly
correspondence with Karl Rove, telling him "Keep up the fight"! And Obama
didnt get any standing ovation at the AP conference invitation, in fact, the
presenter called him "Osama" and it just looked so intentional. McCain
meanwhile got a minutes-long standing ovation, and Liz Sidoti of the AP
brought him donuts "with [his] favorite, sprinkles".

..he referred to the [retirement community] Leisure World as Seizure World..

Unfortunately the math forces that. A 2/3 majority is necessary to
override a Presidential veto. So, 34 Senators & Bush or 146
Representatives & Bush are enough to kill a bill. The other 66 Senators
or 289 Representatives' votes don't count.

There are 199 Republicans in the House and 49 in the Senate.

So really, on anything where a serious change to Bush's policies is
necessary, Congress has two unpalatable choices:

- Go along with Bush, trying to get a few small bones thrown so you can
say you weren't 100%% ineffective.

- Keep passing bills Bush will veto, and be blamed for shutting down
government.

Too, Bush has had 12 years to ruin the country. The Democrats will need
more than two years to fix it.
