Steve Jarding strikes again, this time with the classic line, "Gladhanding George who was born with a silver football toothguard in his mouth." :)

Senator Allen, We+óGé¼Gäóre Still Waiting+óGé¼-ª
(Hot Springs, VA) +óGé¼GÇ£ At the Virginia Bar Association debate Saturday, George Allen, Senator Procrastinator, dodged a question as to why he voted himself a $32,000 pay raise while he voted four times against raising the minimum wage for working Americans from its dismal $5.15 an hour, by saying he would answer the question if he had more time. George Allen has had days to answer, and there is no time like the present.
Well, Senator, you got your money, but the 153,000 Virginians who are making minimum wage or less +óGé¼GÇ£ got no more time.
153,000 Virginians make minimum wage or less. Staggering.
+óGé¼+ôThe minimum wage has not been increased since 1997 +óGé¼GÇ£ that would be last century. These men, women and their children, in every community from Abingdon to Chesapeake, from Winchester to Danville, are struggling just to get by +óGé¼GÇ£ to put food on the table, to pay medical bills for sick children, to make rent, to put gas in the car, to survive,+óGé¼-¥ said Jim Webb campaign spokesperson, Steve Jarding.
+óGé¼+ôBut Gladhanding George who was born with a silver football toothguard in his mouth, has no time, no concept, no clue,+óGé¼-¥ Jarding said.
Senator Allen+óGé¼Gäós $32,000 pay raise amounts to a $15 an hour pay raise for himself for every hour, for every day, for every week, for every year, he has served. At the same time, gas prices are edging toward the hourly rate of minimum wage.
+óGé¼+ôGeorge Allen+óGé¼Gäós calloused counterfeit conservatism has real life devastating consequences for tens of thousands of Virginians and millions of Americans. His puppet on a string act, with the puppeteers being a Who+óGé¼Gäós Who of special moneyed interests in America, has worn out its welcome. George Allen has had plenty of time to answer the debate question. He just doesn+óGé¼Gäót think he has to do so,+óGé¼-¥ Jarding said.
Do do do do, do do do, do do do do, do, dododododo+óGé¼-ª

I think Steve ought to at least give some credit to Ann Richards for this quote because it is a cheap knockoff of her famous jab at George H.W. Bush at the Democratic Convention in 1988. And, I've never heard a mouthpiece described as a "silver football toothguard." It's a mouthpiece. Jarding probably never had occasion to use one...so he probably doesn't know any better.
All in all...it's a stupid line. Very amateurish.
They never do the right thing unless it is to their benefit.
Do do do, do do do do do, do do do, do, do, dododododo.
