Maine Republicans said playing the game led Ms Lachowicz to live a "bizarre double life" that raised questions about her ability to represent the state.

Coming from a party that caters to this that's one brazen statement...

omg, those are fantastic. I especially love the one about Obama being a half-breed muslin.

Human-fabric interrelationships ftw.

This is honestly the silliest thing I have seen in politics this season.
And I was watching the republican primaries. Herman Caine quoted a song from Pokemon. That's how silly this is.

Hey, it was an awesome song from Pokemon.

Oh, yeah, right... video games are bad... only losers game...

Gah, grow up, stop being so trivial, Republicans.

Anyone else catch her interview this afternoon on CNN? The anchor gal did a lot of concern trolling. She literally pulled, "But what about if the children saw what you'd posted!"

I saw this over at the wow_ladies community and I'm gonna say the same thing here that I said there: knowing a politician plays WoW would make me more likely to vote for them since they seem more in touch with the average person's life than not.

I did not know about this community! Hello new place for this druid! Thank you for the link & I completely agree with what you said!

[kitanabychoice]

No problem! :D That community is an awesome resource and constantly reminds me of what I'm missing out on by not playing the new expac!

I am loving Mists! Honestly it such a pretty expac & the dungeons & scenarios are fun! Need to raise my gear score before I can try a raid.
