   Well, there’s no way to know, but I’ll bet anything that Teddy Roosevelt would have made an X-games worthy clip on base jumping or hang gliding if the technology existed.

   Teddy Roosevelt would have been a youtube sensation.

   Which was it that bothered you: the unapologetic debasement of the political process or the terrible basketball commentary?

   For all that, I bet those two would do a better job ref’ing the finals than the actual guys out there.

   Typical no nothing politicians. They believe that Kobe’s scoring average has relevance to his team’s success.

   How much did those two fools cost our government in order to put out their stupidity?
   Wanna bet they both had at least one family member in on the take somehow?
   This my fellow citizens is exactly the government that a tax exempt TP wants more of.

   Yeah, JT. Alter the tea baggers! That crappy video looks like it might have cost the taxpayers at least a dollar.

   The worrying part is that Maxine Waters made the better case.

    Most troubling part of that; Waters wearing a bryant jersey and claiming that “he can do anything”, i assume this means on the court, not in a court of law

    Once again, the lack of breadth is infuriating! All this back and forth verbiage and not one word to create some space for a single player approach to the series!

    This is ridiculous – and I KNOW it is not the change we need.
