Janet Napolitano is currently consulting David Dinkins as to how to respond to this crisis.
i heard billy clinton and obamanation are joining the consultation to make sure we do not offend any bombers or terroists since their rights are more important than the whole countries rights
carter is gone, clinton is gone only 2 more years and obamanation will be gone. Hope America can survive until then
ITZCHOK, lol!
#1 poster Flatbush Bubby…I love it!! Hey do give some credit to Mr. Dinkins…he always looked nice in a suit and much better than when he hand on his X baseball cap.
Flatbush Bubby youre funny. But with all due respect. LET THEM V E N T. And remember “whirlpooling”? that was another catch phrase of the Dinkins Y”shmo era.
