Is she comparing Will Pitt to Thomas Paine?
She is indeed comparing the drunken, unemployable Pitt to Thomas Paine, one of the foremost fathers of our country, believed by some to be the actual author of the Declaration of Independence.
Pitt, a hopeless alcoholic, whose only recognized writings outside the DUmp were the hilarious 24-business-hour hoax and a bit of plagiarism from "A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", is the DUmp's equivalent to the brilliant patriot Thomas Paine?
I guess they can compare the crawling, puking Pitt to Paine if we can compare the half-bald dwarf nadin to Benjamin Franklin.
