Dubya Hates Massachusetts
This repeat offense features Dubya making Kerry-bashing, liberal-bashing comments with Massachusetts as the punchline. I guess this brand of "humor" plays well in some parts of the country. You'll also notice Dubya's insatiable desire to let you know he's talking about "trillion with a T".
