  Having to put up with shit like this living in the South is frustrating. Dems don’t compete in any elections down here except for ATL Mayor. They don’t even think about feilding candidates. Chambliss would have lost his seat in 08′ if the Dems would have put up someone remotely qualified. Dems don’t even try in the south, and so guys like Tim James can get away with this shit without consequence.

  I won’t even get into what passes for English in Alabama.

  I want to see what passes for common sense in Alabama

    This might just be it. My non-Alabaman common sense, by contrast, dictates that if people are taking the Alabama licensing test in thirteen languages, the “we speak English” conclusion might be a little–just slightly, now–off base.

  The pause at the end was just stunning.

    The pause is definitely my favorite part of the commercial.

      I wondered the same thing. Is he trying to remember his line? Using the bathroom? Suppressing his gag reflex? It’s mystifying.

        Re: the pause and look-down. I think he was searching for his sense of decency and civility on the ground. Must’ve dropped them or something..

  Uh, people, he’s the more moderate candidate in the primary. No kidding. Really.
