Fuck Pat Seyjack

Right! We've had a string of presidents who are weak in that regard, . . . strange, . . . the very worst, presently. However, hopefully, a nation faced with such, will perceive—or take occasion to learn—what example in leadership is all about, . . . "W"—In The League of Women Voter's debate—was criticized for not knowing the difference between a relative pronoun and one which was definitive, . . . I would say, from that point, our presidents have gone downhill, . . . and with them, the nation.

Wow. That was ridiculous. Pat had better be careful when he's walking through a dark alley, because he might find seven swans a swimmin ready for some killin.

When you're on a game show about words, ENUNCIATE. Worse yet, they could sound like the old Pres., W. What a hoot it was to listen to him. But I never saw him on a game show.

WOW, . . . if they judged Obama's curious pronunciation—dropped consonants AND vowels, truncated syllables, he'd be disqualified EVERY SINGLE DAY, . . . and maybe even, in jail t'boot, . . .

You can clearly hear she said it improperly. If they wanted "swimmin' " they would have asked for it.

[jlarose23]

To anyone who says "but it's ...swimmin' ", it says "swimming." If she can take a second to enunciate her letters, she should have taken the time to enunciate when she solved. It was extreme to penalize her over it, but rules are rules and she completely avoided the "G" when she solved.
