• Cullis to fellate Tea Baggers.

  —DelawareLiberal.Net

  Number of comments: 10
  Whoa. There is just way too much innuendo in that title for even me. Cullis will be speaking to the 9/12 teabaggers tomorrow in Milton. Now, unless the GOP is just going to give up the House seat, there is little to no chance that Fred Cullis will be the [...]
