There is agreat deal of wisdom in that small story.
  Yes; the Dems have maintained a lofty status chiefly through hot air;
And sadly, while the Reps have a better message...they sometimes have trouble communicating the facts....
   Perhaps with much of the public, candor is not as effective as hot air!

It's a joke, folks. A pretty funny one, but there's something bad wrong when folks take jokes seriously.

Quite often in life there is nothing more funny, hilarious even, than the unvarnished truth. Putting the truth into a joke format still doesn't change the truth...... it just makes it easier to accept and endure.

But ya know what? Hot air isn't reserved for Democrats. I'll bet I could use all the fingers and toes of all the people who frequent this entire forum to count the people I've met through life who are nothing but bags of hot air... no substance, no guts, no brains....... just an unending stream of pointless noise eminating from constantly open mouths.

The good thing is.......... none of those bags of hot air frequent this forum!

Dali Llama say he know that where Bikenut reside, and assume that where he meet the "bags of hot air" of which he speak.  Dali say, however, that he DO NOT include Bikenut among the "bags of hot air." :-)  :D
