Does anyone get the impression that the closer we get to the election, the Democrats and all of its acolytes such as the MSM are getting very unhinged?

#8 OK. OK. I see the girl and the short shorts and the legs and the hair and all that. I'm not blind and I am most certainly not unappreciative. But is that an IBM Selectric?
