Talked to a Dodd supporter today
I was on my way to my volunteer work at an old-age home for lame pets when a guy in a "Vote Dodd or Suck It" t-shirt and sporting a twirly waxed-mustache jumped out and started laying this rap on me about how Dodd was going to annex Canada so we would all have government subsidized maple syrup.

I asked him why Dodd had co-sponsored legislation that included urging the State Dept. to designate the Iranian Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization.

He said, "Bomb those bastards back to the stone age... short trip, right?! Don't you get it, man? Chris Dodd is all about trusting Dick Cheney. Cheney Rocks!"

I asked whether Dodd really believed all of that, and the guy said, "Of course he does! Otherwise, how did I get this t-shirt?"

I shook my head sadly, walked away and resumed my everyday life as the most virtuous person on the planet.

4. lol...that's very bazarre. What a world...
Nothing surprises me and yet I never cease to be amazed. I'm sure Dodd doesn't hold Cheney in high regard. That man sounds insane; typical, but insane!

8. I don't believe this story.
I don't think Dodd supporters exist in real life.
