Why, probably dressed in pith helmets and armed with evidence bags, digging around Sarah Palin’s vagina in search of hidden emails like spelunkers in search of demon eggs, is my guess.
Or was your question merely rhetorical?

Sgt. Jopek’s mother will be stepping forward any moment now — just as Henry Kissinger did after the recent debate — to support Sen Obama’s position on these matt ………..oh, wait…….
…….Sorry, Mrs Jopek is indisposed at the moment and won’t be speaking to the press.
Mrs Jopek is indisposed at the moment
The Trooooth Squad has her sequestered, for her own good.
Baracky has vowed to imbue that soldier’s death with meaningless. He’d already forgotten his name, and as president he can help us all forget what he died for. But for sure the day after he wins the election he would take the bracelet off. Just another nameless dead killbot victim of George Bush’s war.
oh. *meaninglessness* . I forgot the ness part.
Oh, I’m guessing the MSM will just let this lay as an explanation why the inherently decent Obama refrained from actually naming the soldier memorialized on his bracelet. Because of the RESPECT.
O keeps the bracelet on as a touchstone to his mission, but would never drag that soldiers name into any fray for political advantage.
See? that’s all nice and spun now. O!
Excuse me while I hate everything and find nothing funny anymore. I am a bitter, bitter, carded for Sudafed cynic.
I hear they have really big spiders in Australia. Opals, and spiders. Some freedom, and opals and really big spiders. Conflicted, I am.
Her silence on the matter is Deafening…
She doesn’t want to screw up the Story of O! so she’d not gonna publicly rebuke him…
And we all know the deal with the left; if you don’t publicly humiliate them over a detail or an inconvenient truth, well then they keep toddling around like the town crier repeating all of their necessary lies…
I mean, if for no other reason, she should ask him to stop wearing it based on the fact that he couldn’t even remember the fallen soldiers name; and instead had to sneak a peek at it…
Kinda demonstrates the shallow and utilitarian nature of O!s cynical emplyment of the bracelet, and how he couldn’t really give a tinkers damn about the dead man, or his mother’s loss and grief!
I guess that’s just more of the audacity of the new kind of politics…
BTW, I didn’t notice Mav having to either check the name on his bracelet or check his notes to recall where, when, and from whom he recieved it…
But, as always, the fifth column is nowhere to be found on this. I mean, they’re kind of busy these days convincing the public that it is the eeeeeeevil RethugliKKKans who are to blame for the financial straights we’re all in; regardless of the actions of prominent democrats to protect the GSE’s over the years as well as the bonanza the recieved from both the GSEs and Big Finance over the last 15 years. That, in addition to fighting bith a vanguard a well as rearguard action for O!…
Baracky is of very poor character. I think it’s cause he never really had a mommy or daddy.
Darleen,
Her fear of the O! Trooooooth Squad is probably the prime reason she won’t speak to anyone about this…
I think if she was afraid, her fear would be well-founded.
We got a SarahW sockpuppet rolling now?
That is so lame.
My life is boring, most of the time, but to sockpuppet another commenter? That is Loser-hand-on-forehead lame.
…but to sockpuppet another commenter?
Because of what she’s done to Obama, Mikey. It’s like “Remember the Alamo,” but in blackface.
No that’s really really me.
Perhaps the bitter sarcasm wasn’t coming through well enough.
So I’m afraid the FAIL is all mine.
I get in these Cassandra moods. Just you wait. The name-choke incident at the debates will indeed be chalked up to O’s “respect” for the family. I hope the scare quotes make my meaning plainer.
I have friends who think Acorn is nice people. So I cry in my hummus.
Oh. Sorry about the fail SarahW.
BTW – no one listened to Cassandra. Seems you are up on her with that.
The Greek Olympians were really a lot of no fun.
I mean, here you are, walking along and a Greek diety appears, and even if you think this could be a good thing, it usually turns out wrong. You end up with your city being sacked, your girlfriend seduced and turned into a cow, and all you have left is a golden apple – for which there is no market, the city being sacked and all. A shotgun of unlimited ammunition would be useful, but no – you’re stuck with the golden apple.
Greek dieties both sucked and blowed (sometimes simultaneously).

Much like me at the moment. Wet-and-salty hummus-ed is no way to go through life.
There were some pigs in there. Circe-ously.
*roots around closet for pith helmet*
Onion dip and some chips is usually good.
Hummus and pita bread really doesn’t go so well with beer. And beer is God’s way of saying he loves us and wants us to be happy.
Sorry for the threadjacking. Back to point.

I’ll drink to that!
Broncos tied it up at 13 after the half…
Fake it till you make it Obama!

Hummus and pita bread really doesn’t go so well with beer.
Beer goes with everything, says so right there on your man card.
Beer and bean paste(s) however, do not go well with the ladies. So might as well double down and have some kimchi on the side.
C’mon. Like that’s as offensive as playing “Barracuda.”
Every other critter in Australia will kill you just by looking at you. They have jellyfish the size of your fingernail which can kill you deader than dead. I cannot understand how there are any people left alive.
Plus, big fast-moving spiders give me the heebie jeebies.
Yeah, and even if you survive the jellyfish the pain last for days and recovery takes weeks to months. Oh, and those funnel web spiders? Fangs big enough and strong enough to pierce your thumbnail.
I cannot understand how there are any people left alive.
I can relate by cracky.
“Beer is the nectar of the nitwit.”

AS I sit here guzzling some cheap-ass brew.
Hmm. Comic book guy… Ben Franklin…
Tough call.
Maybe it would simply be better to say it symbolizes all of the brave fallen soldiers and not try to glorify one over the others who sacrificied their lives.

See, that’s what the yellow ribbon is for.
The bracelet is a bit more, ummm, personal.
Oops.
Every other critter in Australia will kill you just by looking at you.
I read somewhere that Australia has only one species of NON-poisonous snake.
Here in North America, it’s a safe bet that any snake you don’t recognize is non-poisonous (assuming you can recognize pit vipers and coral snakes). In Autralia, it’s the other way around.
Sorry, lee. I’ll take the win. Too bad we’re going to stink up the rest of the season.
Oh, and Spies? Your analysis of only one species being non-poisonous is spot on. Lived there for 4 years. Someday I’ll tell you about the brown snake I found in my kitchen. And don’t get me started on the Redback spider that nearly crawled down my neck…yeesh.
– Sarah – humus is not so bad, with a little salt, and a dash of tabasco. Me, I’d leave the wet part alone.
Sara. Two words. Chipoltle Hummus.
Put the pita bread or tortillas in the toaster.
The only way I eat the stuff.
Sorry to burst the Australia bubble, but the drawbacks don’t stop at the inhospitable flora and fauna — the Aussies don’t have a Bill of Rights; a few years ago after a suitable period of “purely administrative” gun registration, the govertment seized and destroyed just about every privately owned firearm in the country.
It’s the Government that protects you, donchaknow — can’t have the blokes and sheilas thinking that they have any individual rights to self defense!
G’day.
Yeah cjd, I know you will…
I couldn’t watch, but saw the play by play on nfl.com.

I cling bitterly to my can of Raid.
And when the members of a mosque went running around town openly carrying weapons, you know what happened?
Nothing. Nothing at all.
Julie, for sure. It’s like the “tomb of the unknown soldier”, in the form of one of them newfangled flexible wrist-phones.

Buck up, lee. Youse guys will be fine, just a bad day for the Broncos. The Chefs, not so much.

Housabout this Julie. Nobody gets to parade em around like they work for one party or the other. Give em at least that small bit of respect.
Just for the record, here’s the AP story on this:
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-wi-obama-bracelet,0,6413408.story
I’m afraid we don’t believe everything the AP says anymore, drill.
If you do, the more fool you.
The Associated Press is bought and sold by the Democratic Party. Long march through our institutions and et cetera. The AP didn’t put up much of a fight.
It’s a shame that some family of one of our fallen heroes….”Oh, I see some of our fallen heroes in the crowd today”, it’s a shame that some family hasn’t asked Obama to wear a fake Mr. T mohawk-head with the feather earrings in honor of their son. That would really have one-upped Johnny Mac.
Excuse me while I hate everything and find nothing funny anymore
I’m with you, SarahW. I just can’t watch anymore.
Sometimes when my beloved Indianapolis Colts are playing poorly or are in a big game, I have to change the channel or just walk away from the TV altogether. The pressure’s just too much!
I’m sad that it seems like a sizable portion of our country has been persuaded by a media that’s totally in the tank for Obama.
I’m going to turn to prayer for our country and watching sports.
Riiiiight. AP and Ron Fournier are totally owned by the Democratic Party.
Riiiiight. AP and Ron Fournier are totally owned by the Democratic Party.
Pretty much, yeah.
Again: if you believe them, the more fool you.
Just for the record, drill, what part of the AP take do you find particularly noteworthy?
She forgives him now. Because Obama knows what’s best for us, you see, so clearly his override of her wishes was done for the greater good.
And who is she to question that?
Thanks, drill. O!’s arrogance is even more intensely illuminated.
Supposedly she didn’t want her son’s name injected into a politcal sound bite, and so you’re doing just that. Yes, but it’s OK when the R-winger cause is served.
Yah.
What I don’t get is that apparently Sgt. Jopek’s father (they’re divorced) is not so happy – he’s an Iraq war supporter, apparently.
So fine, they disagree – but why does no one seem to care what he thinks? Why does the mother alone get a say in how the memory of her son is used in the public square?
Supposedly she didn’t want her son’s name injected into a politcal sound bite, and so you’re doing just that.
Uh, no, Obama did that, we’re just commenting on him doing it. Try to keep up.
Err, sorry, that would be *SSgt.* Jopek.
I was speaking of the r-wing, not you, duuuh.

Try wearing a chicken suit to distinguish your duuuuh-cluck from the others.
