Sig Line of the Month finalists

•  
• by: Voyageur

Sunday, I solicited nominations for “Sig line of the month,” those little zingers some Polsters add to their regular comments automatically (by tinkering with their profiles.)  I was inspired by JO’s sally about ill feelings stemming from the primary: “It’s the nature of politics to sling shit one minute and kiss-‘n’-make up the next.” At first, I saw it as a cynical remark.  As the week wore on and the healing process started Wednesday, it struck me as a profoundly accurate – and ruefully funny – observation on the nature of the political process — an insight worthy of sig line status.

Reviewing the nominations, I removed those that seem outdated because they were inspired by the heat of the primary, and reluctantly discarded a plethora inspired by our departed colleague Steve Harvey — believing that particular wound needs a bit more time to heal.  So, for your voting pleasure, here are the five nominees for sig line of the Month.  Feel free to add new ones in your comments: either existing sig lines or comments worthy of sig line status.

Tancredo/Marceaux 2010-Ralphie.  Nominated by Peacemonger.

She wrote “tax cuts” on her hand.  A Republican so stupid she had to be reminded of the one thing: “tax cuts.”  It’s like if you saw Wile E. Coyote’s paw and it said “road runner.” -DaftPunk (quoting Bill Maher.)
