Character , Politics Ratings and Comments 1 Reply Mike, Norwalk 9/24/08 (-; great fun;-) I like it Reply Waffler, Smith, Arkansas 9/24/08 To personal to have universal meaning. I think Tom Daschle has a great voice, Sarah I don't like her voice. Was Ari referring to all popular poiticians or to a specific individual? 1 Reply jim k, austin 9/24/08 I love Palins voice and Bidens will be fine as soon as they get his foot out of his mouth 2 Reply E Archer, NYC 9/24/08 I can think of a few more characteristics... a forked tongue, cold heart, and slithers on his belly. Reply RobertSRQ 9/24/08 So there is such a thing as reincarnation - Bush, McCain and Palin - I wonder what they did wrong... I'm sure it can't just be dishonesty... Reply Ken, Milford Pa 9/25/08 You would think that after Arisophanes made this statement 2500 years ago, that politician's would have at least tried to clean up their act, however most that I see are just more of the same. Reply warren, olathe 9/29/08 You may be right Waffler, but having known a bit of Daschle it is not possible to keep from feeling a combination of revulsion, nausea and rage when I hear that corrupt jack ass speak.
