[Rhodes22-list] SS: Time for a political Hail Mary

[Brad Haslett]

Michael,

That's funny because,  uh, well, people close to the Clinton's seem to die
at convenient times.  Not for the people who died of course. Maybe it's all
incidental.

Now that Jesus 2.0, I mean Barak, is the apparent winner, the gloves will
come off.  This is not going to be pretty.  It will be pretty fun though!
