The Distinguished Gentleman From Nevada Is Grounded!

Self-centeredness and inflexibility are signs of immaturity in an adult. Ensign’s recent adventures appear immature and the resolution whines privilege.

Strangely, some states elect childish wusses as long as they share their prejudices; worse, it doesn’t seem odd to imagine him mowing his parent’s lawn to pay them back.

Between a psychotic person and a person who is foolish with his kindness stands a…?

Communications that describe and further an ongoing crime are not privileged, Mister Doctor Reverend Coburn.
