Mmmm. For some reason #3 had me flustered but I guessed right anyway. Could I have confused Nancy and Joe? Duh!
ReplyDeleteTroutbirder. If you were thinking of Joe, then you were thinking Senate. I am thinking that the Conservative Republicans who think that a woman belongs at home would get a laugh at you confusing Nancy and Joe. I suspect that Nancy has learned to be pretty tough and not the gentle mommy that Limbaugh's crowd would want a woman to be. You probably taught this and probably remember the reason given when voting rights for women was hotly debated. Politics is too dirty and rough and tumble and no place for the gentler sex. Haha. I have coached many volleyball players who were not all that gentle. Nice, lovely young ladies, but not gentle.
