HenryI believe it was Hillary's flying monkey Geraldine Ferraro who tossed the unclothed emperor Obama to the dogs. Now Hillary has gone after the unsuited one's pastor as well.
I told you not to count Her Highness out just yet. She still has a few more tricks up her royal sleeve. The Roanoke Time editorial staff will bow before her yet.
