Boy, there is nothing like a sore loser is there? And here is this
great defender of democracy and equality bad mouthing the school
system in Arkansas. Tell us, Mr. Mulac, when was the last time
you were in Arkansas, and how much time did you spend in their
schools?

Sheesh! Hey! George lost. The elections over. Next presidential
election is 1996. Now go away, we'll call you in time. Probably
in 2000 when we're figuring out who will win the Republican
primary, Pat or Pat (well at least they won't have to throw away
the buttons, no matter who wins :-) ).

Somebody buy this grouch a garbage can.
