Purple fingers stain a soiled president as caddy’s follow Bush.

Very timely. The war is lost, yes, sadly.

You've made the mistake of thinking that successive sentences uttered by Dovina will converge on some proposition. In fact they diverge wildly away from all propositions simultaneously.

I'll let the two of you discuss me in private. Please continue.

Anyone want to place bets on how long it will be before their new president gets blown up?

No. That's terrible.

Stephen you have made no secret of your dislike for my work which is fine. I do however think voting this a 1 is futile why not just change it to a zero? Also do you actually understand it.
Purple fingers = voters
Caddy's is dual meaning a) golf which our braindead Mr Bush likes to play and b) his political allies such as Blair.
Admit it, you understand this as much as men understand women? As my Mother used to tell me - men with big pricks act big pricks

So which one are you? big boy or weener boy?

What charming little conversations you had with your Mother. Thank you for explaining your poem to me without your guidance I feel I would have spent weeks blundering around, like a visually impaired person with a dead guide dog, to find the connection between purple fingers, the poems title and the recent election in Baghdad. Having explained it to me in such a gracious manner I wonder whether you could provide further elucidation; why is the recent election in Iraq a stain upon Mr Bush and his caddies, I would have thought, naively perhaps, that the recent election was the one good thing to have happened in Iraq since the war rather than a further colossal infraction for drug addled lefties to beat up the Bush adminisatration.

Furthermore, I am glad voting your dreary dross a one has annoyed you, that is entirely the reason I gave it to you.

With your grasp of understanding race Stephen you should run for President, you'll probably be elected.

Did you watch Fahrenheit 9/11 or do you repudiate facts from that too?

PS your comment did not annoy me but your mother does for conceiving such an arrogant and conceited little twat.

I'm going to trump your Fahrenheit 9/11 card with this: http://slate.msn.com/id/2102723/

Your move, my dear.

Do you think Iraqis should boycott the election?

I think that would be a really clever way to get their own back on the Americans, don't vote, say they preferred being under a dictatorship because they don't have the intelligence to think for themselves.

I think he's not American, hence his ability to use (and comprehend a use for) all those pesky shades of gray between 0 and 10.

Utter hogwash.
