  36. “Hey Bruce-this is how you shake up the Capitol”

    Comment by Anonymous Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:47 pm

  37. Someone at the speech is sure to ask Rich what those dark round things are that he seems to be intently sniffing.

  38. This is the biggest thing to happen in Charleston since Lincoln debated Douglas.

    Comment by 47th Ward Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:53 pm

  39. This is how to “punch it up”: At the end of his speech Rich rips open his shirt and reveals he’s wearing a wire. That should be good for a few chuckles.

    Comment by Responsa Monday, Nov 4, 19 @ 3:57 pm

  40. ===Miller invited to Buzzard Hall===
    Like the converse of the Buzzards returning to Hinckley.
