   They don’t call Harry Reid “The Rabbit of Searchlight” for nothing.

   You spelled “Liaisons” wrong.

   I’ve seen ugly threesomes before. I don’t have to imagine George W. Bush, Dennis Hastert, and Bill Frist together – that image was all too real and is seared into my brain. Unless you like Denny Hastert’s large breasts I’d have to say the Reid/Pelosi/Obama image is much hotter.

   Well, I hate to go all out on a limb here but I prefer Uma Thurman’s.

   Dangereuses ! It’s dangereuses ! In French, Les liaisons – not Les Liasons, btw – are female, like most good things in this world.

   Absolument, kaviarissime! Nobody expects the French Grammatical and Orthographic Inquisition!

   Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Our two weapons are fear and and ruthless references to the Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française. Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless references to the Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française and an almost fanatical devotion to Le Grevisse. All right, all right. Our *four*…no… *Amongst* our weapons…. Amongst our weaponry…are such elements as fear, surprise…. I’ll come in again.

   At least he didn’t also say “orgy of spending”.

   Damnit. I got here too late to offer something fresh and witty about the misspelling of liaisons and the feminineness of the word. Nonetheless, I appreciate the attempt to parler français. I appreciate even more the quality of the readers/commenters of this blog who are clearly brilliant.

   If the Democrats win 60 Senate seats, the federal government could turn into a Democratic circle jerk.

    McCain should talk… him, Lindsay Graham and Joe Lieberman are a regular turducken.

    I’d prefer a threesome of Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, and, um …..

    Oh yeah. Me.

    Is there someone who can write in excess of two French words without making a minimum of two mistakes ? All these show-offs who want to demonstrate worldly knowledge and fail spectacularly on the most elementary test are truly amusing. Perhaps as much as Bernard-Henry Lévy pronouncing on the financial crisis.

    Hi guys. Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.
    I am from Vietnam and learning to speak English, give true I wrote the following sentence: “In addition to a discount airfare finder we have compiled a host of consumer resources, including a flight tracker.”
