...limping. For the decision to make Bullwinkle and Rocky's old nemeses--Boris, Natasha and Fearless Leader, the scourges of Pottsylvania--into live-action characters was unwise.

Didn't Republicans used to be funnier? A few quotes from the candidates last week reminded me of the days of the erstwhile Presidential candidate who provided us with four years of humor back in the days when we actually elected him to public office.
