“Richard Sale’s long experience of reportage on Washington, the CIA, the American armed forces, and foreign intrigue has created a perfect background for this account of the steady growth of President Clinton as a master of the game of nations.

It’s gotta be Texas! Luv that horse.
Aww. Too cute! Thanks Uppity!

Cute!
Too cute, luv Patches!!
Rev Manning and Leo Donofrio (NJ lawsuit)
interview, link in my name.
A pig wearing lipstick or a lipstick wearing pig? Give me
Cute horse. But the guys? Kinda creepy.
well that’s interesting comment. could you explain?
Hay, it’s on topic, I see a solution to the Detroit dilemma. First, they could adapt new cars to run on methane,(horse farts) and they could advertise that they’ve added horse power to all of their vehicles. There should be a gallop poll to stirrup support and discourage nay sayers.
You’ve got a lot of horse sense!
Those two guys love their horse and if you are an animal lover, you love these guys.
Every now and then it’s nice to see that America is still America - in spite of what is going on in Chicago right now.
Only in America!
Why Chrissy Matthews doesn’t like Hillary
A psychologist’s view
he has problem with women. he does not have anything manhoody..if you know what I mean…may be he is a closet gay.
He needs to resolve his problem with his mother.
I really think he is gay.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i loved it thank you for the laugh and smile
Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
I have had patches on my favorites for a long time. Being a horse person, all my friends and horse cohorts love the patches video.
Now, if our President-select is half as smart as Patches, we may have a fighting chance at not dissolving into a third world country!!!
