Hillary did not invent the Internet

But she did bring peace to Northern Ireland.

Sounds fair to me. After all if the Republicans can claim Reagan caused the fall of the Soviet Union certainly Hillary can claim peace in Northern Island. Unlike the fall of the Soviets at least that happened during the Clinton administration.

Wow, even Gorbachev gives Reagan credit where it's due. Talk about being small minded.

Actually, those in Ireland don't think Hillary had much of anything to do with the peace process there:

Great news, The retirement of Brett Favre leaves the starting quarterback position open. The Green Bay Packers will announce a deal has been signed that Brett's wife, Deanna will take over as starting quarterback. When asked by reporters about her qualifications to handle the position, she said, "I have been married to Brett for 12 years and have seen all the games both at home and away". Sound familiar?

Nice Brett Favre analogy but this situation goes even farther than that: "Oh yes, and some of those games you thought Brett was winning back in the 90s - that was really me."

" . . . that was really me."

Today's revision:

"Well, actually, it wasn't me. It wasn't even Sinbad, either. But when Brett came back to the sidelines, I whispered the plays into his ears. Then he threw the touchdown."
