News Norwood likens GOP votes to cocaine use, keeps it real
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Tue, Nov 3, 2009 at 4:03 PM
In a very long interview yesterday with Atlanta Progressive News, Atlanta mayoral frontunner Mary Norwood explained why she's voted in Republican primaries and attended state GOP conventions.
[Norwood] said she was disgusted with the Republican Convention and decided never to return. "There seemed to be two agendas. Evidentally in all these party politics, there's stuff that goes on on the floor and there's stuff that goes on in the back room," Norwood said."Just because you go on a date with someone doesn't mean you're gonna marry them," Norwood said, making an analogy. "Just because you did cocaine once doesn't make you an addict."
Emphasis added, because hot damn that's a great quote! And the image of Republicans conspiring in the "back room" followed up with a unrelated reference to the devil's dandruff? Excellent!
Granted, Norwood's technically correct. But this is by far the best analogy we'll read before noon. And it made us think of other excellent analogies. "Just because you once choked a man with your bare hands doesn't make you a bloodthirsty maniac." There are many others out there, we're sure.

Mary, just because you're from Buckhead doesn't mean you have a clue how to be a good mayor.

Just because you fuck another man on video for money doesn't make you a gay porn star.
Dumb ass dumb. How this woman leads the polls is beyond me. Although Mary looks like she might've been speaking from experience.
Just because you're trying to distance yourself from Republicans doesn't mean you need to quote Robert Wexler
Just because you force a woman to have sex with you after a date in college doesn't make you a date rapist.
Clocks are for people with too much time on their hands, AH, or rather, yes, we did. It's fixed.
