Old Yeller was almost always amusing, both as a candidate and during his tenure as head of the DNC. It was kind of sad to see him exit the stage; it didn't seem possible that anybody could ever replace him. But you've got to hand it to the Democrats - they seem to have an inexhaustible supply of clowns. The latest purveyor of quality entertainment hails from Florida, where, according to news reports yesterday, liquor consumption has increased markedly.

We’re going to give you X amount of dollars and you figure it out.
Okay, Debbie - the mean ol' Republicans are going to throw granny into a snowdrift; that's their plan. Um, but you were asked about the Democrat plan. Got one? Maybe it's under the desk? In the back of the closet? Checked under the bed? Where is it?
