Well, I guess Hillary has the DIY vote nailed down.


:rofl:

1. Go Mr. Vila! That's really great!

:toast: to the feminist "macho" dude. ;)

7. That's Excellent!

2. To each his own.

I know you meant it as satire of sorts, but there's a lot of folks who watch HgTV et al.

3. i think he will actually help a lot more than Madonna

[tabasco]

4. I'm not a supporter of Hillary but Bob Vila is a pretty popular guy.

Personally I have never seen Oprah but I catch Bob Vila from time to time on tv and he has a useful website.

Frankly, your post seems uninformed, petty, and immature.

[JI7]

5. i think he is more on Oprah's level than Streisand, Madonna

and others who are viewed as mostly entertainment figures. while Oprah and Vila are seen as more serious figures who people look to for advice or help.

8. Oprah Has Advice? The Woman Doesn't Even Know How To Pump Her Own Gas

6. Bob Vila runs a nonunion shop!

The construction labor on the homes they build and remodel is for the most part non-union. Very few parts of the USA require union labor in the home building industry, one notable exception being Chicago, IL.

10. Hmmm...and Hillary crossed a picket line in Manchester, NH this past June...

Sounds like a match made in political heaven. :loveya:

11. i was thrilled when he left this old house

this only puts her lower on my scale.

13. Villa is the bottom of the barrel

when it comes to home shows. Lots of people dislike him.

[ashling]

12. Not this DIY vote

Bob Vila couldn't even carry Bil Holmes' hammer (Holmes on Homes). I wish he would just go home again.
:rofl:

[ClarkUSA]

14. I never "got" Vila's appeal, either... he put me to sleep. Holmes I like, too.

And now Vila is hawking "Bella Wood" lumber for big $$$... not exactly "green" is he? And he's non-union too. Oy!

[ashling]

16. I really like Holmes

like to meet him some time

[ClarkUSA]

17. Holmes doesn't bore me like Vila

He also seems like a nice guy who knows a lot but doesn't need to puff his chest out constantly.

[ashling]

18. Exactly

:)

[Beacool]

15. Go Bob!!!!!

Besides, I'm sure that he could give Hillary good advice on home repairs. With several homes, there's probably plenty to fix and I don't see Bill being that good with a hammer. :D
