Hello? George Pataki is the actor who played Sulu on the original Star Trek. Are you sure you've never heard of him? Are you sure he's running for the Republican nomination?
That was my first thought too. But these guys are all west coast natives. Pataki made whatever name he has for himself as governor of an east coast state. I'd probably be fairly hard pressed to name any (or at least many) governors of Washington or Oregon prior to moving out here.
@7 - Hey, I grew up out here and I knew him. I'd like to say because he's a 3-term governor from the state that holds the biggest city in America, but it's really probably from Letterman jokes.
Admitting having received an STD test from a private clinic that was fully paid with one's honest wages would've solidified one's conservative bona fides and earned my respect.
@13 - You're not actually even trying to be informative, relevant, or illuminating anymore, are you?
I kind of admire it. I call myself a nihilist outright, wear it on my sleeve, but I can't seem to wash the stench of purpose, of the desire to elevate, from my words and actions. You've actually moved beyond any desire for meaning.
Jim Gilmore was governor of Virginia at the turn of the millennium. I guess you west coasters don't need to know about politics in the hillbilly states like Virginia and New York.
George Pataki used to be my governor, and when I heard he was running for president, I was like "What? Seriously? I haven't heard of him in over 10 years!" Really, he's not going to break out in a field this crowded when he's this stale and doesn't have any major constituencies with any reason to favor him over Jeb Bush. I honestly don't know why he's running.
@13 Were you paying the "3 leftist nutjobs" an actual complement?! Careful there, Junior. The masochist inside you wouldn't want to be liked by these people, would he?
And none of their organs were harvested! That we know of.
You joke, of course. Thing is, Santorum and his wife were in a position to do that after one of their sons died just after birth - but they didn't. Was it feasible & should they have done so? Don't know, and everyone has their own calculus about organ donation, but it would be interesting if, he continues on the 'PP needs to be defunded because of this' tack, someone in the media asked him about neo-natal organ donation in light of his son's death.
Seriously?

No, you're thinking of the George Pataki who was in all those airplaine movies.
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it"
Well, considering all the things these freaks like to do this one's just weird, not filthy or depraved.

you're right, I've been wasting my life doing this.
I think I need help.
@18, Oh God. I love you so much.
