As far as tarnishing the reputations of our nations clowns through a loose association with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, I recommend a much more accurate terminology for describing the good mayor......

Mayor Bill de Blasio is a socially liberal, populist, progressive democrat.

...say that, and see if it doesn't roll of the tongue with a much better taste than "clown"
"Warren Wilhelm Jr." probably has a little National Socialism in his back ground but since he is so astute he changed it to Socalist Nationalisim... If he can't remember his own name why would we hold him to remember anything? He would probably call his affiliation the "Me Party" if he was honest, certainly an indicator of his voting blocks intelligence.


But hey if your the type of people that need the Government to survive and provide people like Willy and his ilk are ready to take that to the bank. " We're from the Government and we're here to help, the checks in the mail and I wouldn't ... Yada yada ya".

Rest in Peace. I actually got kicked off the Bozo show when I was 9 years old(1958). I was with my Cub Scout troop at the show and was a little too enthusiastic.

Mark, I’m glad you put your age and the year in there...for a moment...reading your comment quickly...I thought you might have been kicked off the Obama administration.

Lol, a little too enthusiastic...gotta love it.

If having to choose between voting for Obama or voting for Bozo I would have chosen Bozo. Does voting for McCain and Romney count as Bozo votes?

Comparatively speaking...if memory serves Bozo was a bit more intellectually inclined, arguably better dressed...and certainly more trustworthy.

No offense to Bozo was intended.

Apparently and for more than forty years you could trust leaving your kids with Bozo the clown; a Catholic priest, a Congressman, a sitting President, and school teachers - not so much!
