    So, “sisters before misters” does not hold at Holton-Arms.

    Not a shocker Capito voted this way.

    But still, the whole “I looked where the GOP shown the flashlight and didn’t see anything” line is particularly uninspiring coming from her.

  2. Last night at bedtime…(sniff)…my little boy asked us to pray…(sniff)…for the rapist judge.

    Nah – just kidding!

    He actually called him a “Chundering Derp Womble”, and we all had a good laugh.

  3. Worthless sell-out shocks by worthlessly selling out.

  4. Shelley Moore Capito ® The senator released the following statement on March 16, 2016, regarding the Garland nomination: "Before a Supreme Court justice is confirmed to a lifetime position on the bench, West Virginians and the American people should have the ability to weigh in at the ballot box this November. My position does not change with the naming of a nominee today.

    Anyone confirmed to the Supreme Court will play a key role in decisions on monumental issues ranging from EPA regulations that affect West Virginia’s energy sector, to immigration and Second Amendment rights. With just a few months until the election, West Virginians should have an opportunity to express their views and elect a new president who will select the Supreme Court justice."

  5. She must like those drunken, sexual predator, lying Frat Boys that have never grown up.
    Won’t be sending her a thank you card.
