Noted Centrist Suggests Palin Can’t Write [Dan Collins]

MSNBC host Chris Matthews suggested Friday that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) may not have the reading or writing ability needed to complete the book she is reportedly shopping.

The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that Palin is seeking an $11 million advance for her memoir and has hired high-powered Washington attorney Robert Barnett to broker the deal.

Teasing a segment on the book during his show “Hardball,” Matthews said: “If she can read, if she can write, she’ll make some money.”

Matthews repeated his suggestion that Palin could not write the book later in the show. “The question is who actually will write the Palin book,” he said. “The only politician I know who can write is Barack Obama.”

And he writes in a style remarkably similar to Bill Ayers’s. I hope I’ve got that political position right, but I console myself with the thought that we are all centrists now. Except for Andrew Sullivan, who’s the Last True Republican.

    I bet his legs got all tingly when he said that. The saucey lttle bitch.

  2. alppuccino says:

    Yes. Obama can write. Like his first batch of Executive orders that close Gitmo and…..uh…..uh….”what does the other one do Greg?”

    “It deals with the process.”

    “Deals with the process. Yeah, that’s it. The process.”

  3. thor says:

    Maybe Billy Ayers could help Palin with her writing inabilites.

    Obama is a little busy at the moment (Coolest President EVAH!)

  4. alppuccino says:

    Greg’s really busy too. Don’t forget Greg.

  5. DarthRove says:

    She IS a J-school grad, so Chrissy might have a point.

    Other than the one on top of his head, I mean.

  6. thor says:

    I’d go to Alaska and help Sarah with her style. She needs a little zing, some panache; someone who can teach her how to make butt cheeks go crimson. The world doesn’t want to read of Miss Wasilla waving to weather beaten hicks at livestock shows and country fairs, they want a real beauty contestant bully’s account of how she wedgied Miss Hogg County until Hogg county’s fairest humiliated herself with her own hairbrush. Americans can take being screwed, fleeced, lied to and shipped off to meaningless wars, but they can’t stand a fuckin’ Loser. And face it, Sarah Palin is a not the top dog. Michelle Obama is the Top in the lesbia fantasy of our angry nation’s psyche.

    If Sarah Palin want’s to Top, and America won’t settle for less, she’ll have to do it to Cindy McCain, Ann Coulter, every blond over at Fox News and even a few random soccer moms who drive Dodge four-by-fours, etc…

    Joe Six Pack will not buy her book unless Sarah details eating rethuglidum Amazonias down to the coccyx bone.

  7. goldbamboo says:

    It’s funny that the same folks who think that Obama doesn’t have the talent to have written his own two books (Bill Ayers wrote them on his behalf, of course) have all the faith in the world in Sarah Palin’s “writin’ ability.”

    Maybe she’s such a good writer because she reads “all” of the newspapers and magazines out there?

  8. MAJ (P) John says:

    Say, ever come to a decision on whether you cheat on your taxes or not?

  9. thor says:

    Shadyup you annual tax-cheat thread jacker. I pay my taxes, sometimes.

  10. MAJ (P) John says:

    OK, I’ll take that as another evasion. You really should consider becoming a contractor to help teach SERE.

  11. thor says:

    I wasn’t called as an expert witness in N.A.S.D. arbitrations for nothing. I wore out many plaintiff’s lawyers with circular explanations.

  12. B Moe says:

    Maybe she’s such a good writer because she reads “all” of the newspapers and magazines out there?

    Or because she has a degree in journalism. And worked as a journalist. Which makes your implication she doesn’t follow journalism kind of stupid, doesn’t it?

  13. Phil says:

    But Dan,

    The Left says they never, EVER talk about Sarah Palin anymore. So let’s move on to the real issues of the day.

    Yes, that’s right: Is Andrew Sullivan still taking his medications? Recent evidence suggests otherwise. Discuss.

  14. Phil says:

    Thor,

    By writing the above, are you now back in the “I still talk about Sarah Palin and make fun of her all of the time…in fact you might say I’m a little obsessed…if not for Andrew Sullivan you might even say I have a little crush” state of mind again?

    Or will you be contradicting yourself again in the next 5 minutes?

  15. thor says:

    How rich, coming from Bmoe who confessed he lasted one class in J-school because of the leftward dementia and nausea he felt while sitting in the back of the class room.

    The keg party girl cobbled together enough hours to finally get tossed a skin from Univ. of Idaho and did a short stint as a TV sportscaster in Anchorage, where the lead is always the results of the local Grizzy wrestling matches.

    Based on the above Bmoe proclaims Sarah Palin is a journalist. Did you shove a fistful of meth up your butt, Bmoe?

  16. thor says:

    I love beating up Sarah Palin and her cubs, I admit. When you feel the need for a arrogant incompetent as a target there’s none better.

  17. Carin says:

    That’s because you’re an asshole, thor.

  18. Phil says:

    Thor,

    You seem a bit angry at Sarah. Is she not returning your phone calls? Maybe she’s just not that into you.

  19. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    all the faith in the world in Sarah Palin’s “writin’ ability.”

    Buh-bye.

  20. Phil says:

    I love beating up Sarah Palin and her cubs, I admit. When you feel the need for a arrogant incompetent as a target there’s none better.

    Actually, I prefer to do what Noted Centrist Andrew Sullivan does: Suggest her daughter faked her own pregnancy and incessantly demand birth records. Then go home and enjoy the aroma of my own shit until bedtime.

  21. MarkD says:

    Calling Matthews a sophomoric twit would be insulting to sophomores and twits. He’s not worth my time, nor yours.

  22. B Moe says:

    I say she was a journalist because she worked as a journalist. Seems fairly self evident to me, but I haven’t started drinking yet.

    And meth makes me anxious, I prefer blow.

  23. happyfeet says:

    Chris Matthews is hard to look at even on his best makeup day. He has an unnatural color. Also he has these weird hair dye experiments he likes to conduct on himself. He’s sort of a big woman I think.

  24. thor says:

    Chris Matthews is a good, sane Irish man and political guru extraordinaire. Fuckin’ poet is what he is.

  25. Carin says:

    Over the past year, I think we’ve witnessed thors descent into maddness. It’s been fun.

  26. MAJ (P) John says:

    “I love beating up Sarah Palin and her cubs, I admit. When you feel the need for a arrogant incompetent as a target there’s none better.”

    I rather think it shows a strange and unhealthy, obsessive streak m’self. And, also, you say this while Rod Blagojevich still is the front-man for the IL Democratic Party?

  27. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Chrissy looks like an underdone Pillsbury Doughboy.

    Discounting the “autobiographies”, Barky has never written anything significant. Certainly he never published anything of note during the years he was a “professor”.

  28. happyfeet says:

    Chris Matthews is a tv person I think. That’s not the same as real people. TV is magnetic to subpar individuals what have no claim upon your respect. Except for maybe Jared Padalecki. I hear he is very nice.

  29. Phil says:

    Discounting the “autobiographies”, Barky has never written anything significant. Certainly he never published anything of note during the years he was a “professor”.

    Then again, neither did Jesus. So you see, the similarities are endless.

  30. flan says:

    Regardless of whether Obama can write or not, he can’t speak without a script.

  31. B Moe says:

    “I love beating up Sarah Palin and her cubs, I admit. When you feel the need for a huge defenseless bullseye as a target there’s none safer or more fashionable.”

    FTFY.

  32. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Blago, Rangel, Dodd, Frank… the list is endless.

    But hey, Palin wore nice clothes when she was on national TV!

    BTW, do we know the cost of those ravishing little numbers that Michelle wore to the apotheosis? That glittery “rancid mustard in a tamale shell” outfit, and the “parade float from the special needs school” kleenex and chicken wire construction? Pure taste, that Michelle.

    I forget if it was here or AoSHQ where someeone pointed out that when straight guys notice the ugliness of a dress, it is fugly.

  33. Rob Crawford says:

    Palin must scare the living shit out of them.

  34. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Just wait and see. Palin’s book will crack the top ten sales rank list on Amazon.com.

    The resultant screeching will be a joy to behold.

  35. Dan Collins says:

    I hope she devotes a whole chapter to that demented sucker of cock, Andrew Sullivan, and his bizarre enablers at The Atlantic.

  36. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    It’ll be interesting to compare the Amazon sales rank to its position on the NYT’s “best sellers” list.

    I don’t even read Megan McArdle any more, thanks to Andi and his enablers in The Atlantic’s management.

  37. soroslapdog says:

    I hope the moose stew recipe will be revealed.

  38. happyfeet says:

    Print is uninteresting. Mostly it’s for old people I think. Useless. Except for the celebrity magazine ones what make you more dumber so you can talk to people here in Los Angeles more conversationally.

  39. thor says:

    Over 30% of Obama’s $800-billion stimulus package comes in the form of tax cuts. Isn’t that enough for you r-wingereds to cut up Sarah’s $10,000 party dresses?

    She’s a friggin’ idiot, a Che Guevara for neo-cons. Remember her hyping going to war with Russia over Georgia (not the June bug infested state north of Florida)? She’d preach of an Evangelical final apocalyptic rapture as she started a nuclear snowball fight. Her only value lies in medical testing new lead-based cosmetics coming to market.

  40. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I still prefer print for works of novel or textbook length.

    The Kindle might change that — I haven’t actually gotten my hands on one yet, but I hear good things about it.

  41. Dan Collins says:

    I think you’ve got a little too much Georgia on your mind, thor.

  42. hockey bob says:

    I was HOPE-ing for CHANGE from the livid lefties, but it is still rather apparent that Palin Derangement Syndrome is alive and well amongst the DailyKOS jihadists.

    Hey, thor, what are you doing, wasting time here? Don’t you have somebody ELSE’S wealth to redistribute?

  43. Dan Collins says:

    When I can flip open the Kindle and get facing-page translations, I’ll buy one.

  44. happyfeet says:

    Baracky tax cuts a lot go to people what don’t pay taxes. It’s sort of a dirty socialist lie to call that tax cutting. It’s redistribution. But we can’t tax cut our way out of recession. That’s what’s spending is for. Someone hasn’t been paying attention.

  45. happyfeet says:

    oh. That’s *what* spending is for I meant. oh. The Kindle is too expensive I think for what it is. It’s sort of a proof of concept gadget more than something I take seriously just yet.

  46. Dan Collins says:

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t look as though much of that stimulus package is going to go to small business, where it would do the most stimulating.

  47. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Anyone know any good publicly held “bling” companies?

    If there are any, I think their stock is going to go up considerably when these “tax cuts” start rolling in.

    Yes, if your tax rate drops below zero, it’s no longer a “tax cut”. It’s a welfare check.

  48. happyfeet says:

    Barackynomics is sort of not about stimulating so much as taking shit from some people and giving it to ACORN client people. The bonus is that the ACORN client people will be worse off in the long run and will be a lot amenable to redistributive solutions to their dilemma later. Barackynomics is a virtuous cycle like that.

  49. serr8d says:

    thor is Andrew Sullivan.

    That, or their pair bond bond is not only by mutual association via hating lovely Sarah Palin, but by physical attachment, mutual assemulation..

  50. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Yeah, the Kindle is sort of expensive, and I don’t particularly like the fact that getting a PDF on it requires extra steps. Almost all the papers I have to read are in PDF form nowadays.

    Amazon really missed a bet for the scholarly market there.

    When George was passing out $600 checks to every dead beat too lazy to steal he got nothing but applause from the r-nub faithful. Barack does the same and it’s a crisis in the land of busted capitalism.

    I sure enjoy hearing rethuglidum lectures on the difference between strippers and topless entertainers.

  58. serr8d says:

    Heh. We need to bailout the rich, so as to stimulate re-hiring the poor.

    Don’t worry. Baracky’s shovel-for-all plan will have everyone working for the government, with a command economy supporting Bitter Al’s world-afire economic restructuring. Change, baby, CHANGE.

    Get a pass from Dan, otherwise you’ll have to sit quietly in the corner with a funny hat on.

  61. happyfeet says:

    no. Bush’s stimulus was more nuanced than that. It was like this

    First, let’s see what singles could get back.

    Earnings Rebate

    $3,000 or less A big fat zero.
    $3,000 or more, paid no taxes $300.
    $3,000 or more, paid taxes $600.
    Have children? $300 per child

    Bush didn’t pass out $600 checks to every deadbeat. Deadbeats either got nothing or at most $300, reflecting their relative worth to society. For people what paid taxes it was a for real tax cut and it was straightforward. Baracky tax cuts are a lot targeted to making you practice gay behaviors that Baracky and his woman think would make you more better people. For example, Baracky calls a tax credit for someone buying a foreign hybrid car a stimulating tax cut. He’s not very good at this economics thing.

  62. Slartibartfast says:

    She needs a little zing, some panache

    And, along with that, not nearly so much sense-making. Her book, with thor ghost-writing, would read like a more drug-addled version of Journey to Ixtlan.

  63. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    The thing that bothered me about the Bush tax cut was that it wasn’t accompanied by a spending cut.

  64. happyfeet says:

    Spending cuts? I do not know this spending cuts. oh. You mean when you say you’re gonna spend an extra $2B on something and then decide to just spend $1B on it instead. I read where Bush proposed this once and the NPR told me it was harsh and massive and draconian. I’m not an economist but those sound like very bad things to me.

  65. soroslapdog says:

    “Get a pass from Dan, otherwise you’ll have to sit quietly in the corner with a funny hat on.”

    You don’t like my hat?

  66. soroslapdog says:

    “”You know, I’m concerned about the size of the package. And I’m concerned about some of the spending that’s in there, [about] … how you can spend hundreds of millions on contraceptives,” House GOP Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) later said.”

    ?

  67. alppuccino says:

    The nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous.

    –Barack Obama, 2009 Inaugural Address

    The prosperous what? “Prosperous” is an adjective and this is a slimy socialist misuse of the word.

    C- Barack. You should have run it by Greg first.

  68. Carin says:

    Also, the books aren’t cheap once you have the kindle. Big outlay for the machine, and then you still have to buy the books.

    No thanks. I like something i can toss to the floor once I start drifting off to sleep.

  69. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Carin, there are plenty of free books out there that you can get in electronic form. They’re tiresome to read on a monitor, though, even if you have a good one.

  70. Matt says:

    Palin’s a red herring for the left.

    Look, look up north, Palin can’t write. Ignore Blago (Obama has never even MET him) and that Obambi’s Sec of Treasury is a tax cheat. And Chris Dodd. And Barney Frank. And John Murtha. No no the real story is in Alaska !!

    MOST ETHICAL CONGRESS IN HISTORY !!!

  71. Carin says:

    Ah. I was looking at the amazon stuff.

    But really, I’m serious about throwing the book to the floor as I drift off. I don’t think a Kindle would last long.

    Plus, loaning out books becomes impossible.

    Hey, I’m heading to the library to pick up Rand’s “Athem” – I’m going to make my kids read it and then do the essay suggested by the Ayn Rand Foundation. They give big money for their essay contests … I have to start working on their skillz.

  72. Carin says:

    I think the left has successfully Borked Palin. Sad to say.

  73. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I still think Palin should do a weekly talk show.

  74. libocrat says:

    We will look back on our “Messiah era” with disgust and wonder. The media has ceased to have any credibility at all. The elevation of a compolete and utter loser like Obama based on masses needing a Savior and the massed needing to cleanse their guilty racial consciences will stun America in retrospect. The need to knock down any opposition such as Sarah Palin will seem Stalinesque in retrospect.
    For 40 years I’ve heard people ask HOW could Hitler have ever come to power. This is how. Putting aside logic, morality, reason and honesty in a quest for excitement and a new Beatlemania has given us the most rotted media and the most unqualified leader imaginable.
    Before you libtards start your rants, think about yourselves, if you have the balls to do so.

  75. happyfeet says:

    It’s the media what has successfully borked Palin. Our dirty socialist media is a real problem I think. They’re officially an arm of the government now that Baracky is in charge and it’s going to be really sad what this will do to my little country to where even Peggy Noonan might notice.

  76. happyfeet says:

    oh. libocrat seems like he might could help Peggy understand. They should do lunch.

  77. Carin says:

    the left/the media … same difference.

    And, yes. Our dirty socialist media is to blame, and if Baracky’s “localism” gets going it’s going to get even worse.

  78. Carin says:

    The sad thing is that so much of Baracky’s propaganda doesn’t even have to be orchestrated by him. Free propaganda for the dirty socialist.

    And, with his army of volunteers. It’s very worrysome.

    Fear of Palin is what drives some* of the left to attack at every opportunity. Of course they should fear Sarah Palin; she can beat them when the time is right.

    *That what drives pusillanimous bitches like thor and Sullivan to hate Sarah is simply their fear of femininity, their “Gay Outlaw” radicalism.

  86. libocrat says:

    I note that emotionally unstable liberal morons remark that Sarah Palin’s state isn’t large.
    What executive experience does Obama have? What achievements? None and none.
    What executive experience does Biden have? Which states did he lead. None an none.
    What executive experience does Rodham have? Where has she led? None and none.
    You moronic twits can cheer on a loser like Obama all you like, it doesn’t change the truth. Obama is a loser. A Marxist, Affirmative action loser. You cannot deny it, because it is true.
    Obama and Global warming are your Religions libs. You will live to regret it, just as Germany did. You picked a loser for the wrong reasons libs. And you don’t care because your hand is on begging.

  87. libocrat says:

    The hate of Sarah Palin by the left is quite easy to understand.

    Sarah Palin has morals, standards, character and ability.

    Libs don’t.

  88. libocrat says:

    Obama doesn’t have a clue. Abortion and weaking our resolve against terror.

    His first 2 moves.

  89. happyfeet says:

    The only politician I know who can write is Barack Obama. Barack Obama is the only politician I know who can write. Why would anyone read something written by a politician that was not Barack Obama? That would just be stupid.

    I hope she doesn’t land on her tits when she falls off the turnip truck.

  91. happyfeet says:

    oh. I hope the waste byproducts from the production of the turnips was turned into nonbiodegradable charcoal and plowed under the soil so that maybe just maybe the human race will ensure its survival. But I doubt they’ll do that.

  92. serr8d says:

    Barack Obama also smoked copious amounts of dope. And did lines on the weekends. In taxicabs. All sorts of lines and dongles.

  93. happyfeet says:

    oh. I hope the waste byproducts from the production of the copious amount of dope what Barack Obama smoked was turned into nonbiodegradable charcoal and … you know what? Nevermind. I’m giving into the fatalism I think. Doomed, we are.

  94. serr8d says:

    I hope she doesn’t land on her tits when she falls off the turnip truck.

    That’s the first thing Sullivan observed, too.

    You two cavaleros enjoy your room..

  95. libocrat says:

    Yes I’ve read some of Obama’s tripe. He learned how to manipulate whitey. He wants to purge the white blood from his veins. White mans greed runs a world in need. He sought out the most Marxist professors he could find.

    Obama is a fish.

  96. thor says:

    Mark Foley sought out the youngest boys he could find.

  97. libocrat says:

    Mark Foley didn’t touch anyone and Republicans ran him out of office.
    Barney Frank paid $80 for a prostitute (gay) then let the guy run a sex ring out of his apartment.
    Mel Reynolds had sex with a teenage staffer. CLinton commuted his sentence and Jesse Jackson hired him.
    William Jefferson took $100,000.00 in cash on CAMERA.

    Shall I continue you fuqing moron?

  98. soroslapdog says:

    Barney Fwrank Mark Foley sought out the youngest boys he could find.

  99. libocrat says:

    The fact that a liberal moron would mention Mark Foley, shows you have ignorant liberals are, it also points out that the media is corrupt.
    Kwame Kilpatrick in Detroit. Gary Becker in Racein. Gavin Newsome in San Francisco, Sheila Dixon in Baltimore, Tim Mahoney in Florida, Mel Reynolds in Illinois, Rod Blagojevich in Illinois, William Jefferson in Louisiana, ALL OF THEM CRIMINAL.

    Mark Foley sent e-mails to a 16 year old page.

    Which did the media focus on.

    Liberals are too stupid for words.

  100. thor says:

    Sure, but take Larry Craig out of your fucking mouth first.

  101. Carin says:

    libocrat, you’re wasting your time. thor is impervious to facts. And, prolly drunk most of the time.

  102. Rob Crawford says:

    Lefties only concern themselves with corrupt politicians when they can use it to gain power. When their people are corrupt, well, they consider that the good and proper nature of things.

    Like Obama said, “I won”.

    That — “What executive experience does Obama have?” — question has now long passed its “use-by” date. As a purely rhetorical matter, it doesn’t do your arguments with Obama believers any good at all and in fact will harm them the longer you keep using it. Just sayin’.

  109. alppuccino says:

    Obama will never have any executive experience. He proved that in his executive order debacle. Greg Craig is the executive. Obama is the facial expression.

  110. happyfeet says:

    Obama will never have any executive experience. He proved that in his executive order debacle.

    Baracky is a sucky, bumbling president already. And he’s scared of his own press. Dirty socialist coward.

  111. Sdferr says:

    I’m afraid that such statements will only be seen as delusional hereafter alppuccino, even though they may have a kernel of truth about them. They are doomed to be overwhelmed by the mere fact of his sitting in the chair in the minds of ordinary people.

  112. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    I really think that Barky just wants to see his mug on TV with “Teh Presentdent” in the caption.

    Want to hurt him? Go after the people who tell him what to say.

  113. happyfeet says:

    I dunno Sdferr. Half the people see the movie on opening weekend. After that the curve is more or less uniform no matter how good the marketing campaign was. Baracky ain’t nothin’ but a thang I think.

  114. alppuccino says:

    To be seen as delusional by the delusional should have some sort of canceling-out effect, shouldn’t it?

  115. Sdferr says:

    “There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats,” the official said. “We shouldn’t let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done.”

    This is what he says. He labels your principled positions of political philosophy with regard to the Declaration, Constitution, and the limits of government as “Partisan politics” and will brush you away with an “I won”.

  116. libocrat says:

    Thanks Carin.
    I knew Obama was dishonest when the Rezko land deal details were made public. If you cannot see the graft there, you are probably a libtard.
    It is obvious even to dimwits that Rezko was giving Obama the adjoining property as payback for services rendered. Once it becamse obvious that Obama was dishonest it made it easy to follow the bouncing CON MAN.
    He was elected because he read a teleprompter well, and because the MEDIA wanted a liberal in charge.

  117. Darleen says:

    He labels your principled positions of political philosophy with regard to the Declaration, Constitution, and the limits of government as “Partisan politics” and will brush you away with an “I won”.Ah… and it seems just like yesterday the howls and shrieks of horror and hate at GW’s “I’m the decider.”

    or Nixons “I am the President”

    Personally, I’d love every GOP rep in Congress to be absent when the $850 billion Pork Fund is passed by the greasy Dems and The One signs it and in 2 years the economy has gone bad to worse because of it.

    Barry is trying to get Republicans to sign on … no real input, just sign here please to show your dedication to bi-partisanship … so he can CYA when the Pork doesn’t work as advertised.

    Be honest with us…actually be honest with yourself. You wake up one day after a long spout in a coma to find out that America has elected a man whose “credentials” include:

    -He was a failed community organizer.
    -He was a State Representative from the most corrupt state in the nation but never could seem to find any corruption there.
    -Endorsed a guy who may be clinically crazy for Governor of Illinois. Twice actually.
    -Became a US Senator by unsealing his primary and then his general opponent’s divorce records
    -Was a US Senator for about a year before he decided he was bored and ran for President instead
    -He talks pretty about “changey” stuff
    -He wrote a book. About himself. Twice actually.

    Well, that’s no dream. That’s reality. The leader of the free* world, the most powerful man in the world is that man. And he’d prefer if you don’t ask him any questions and just let him eat his waffles.

    *at least for a couple more months until the Constitution gets burned since it doesn’t mention “redistributive justice”.

  120. Challeron says:

    Actually, all of the Republicans should vote against it, just to demonstrate their principles.

    And in 2010 we should vote out all who did not, just to demonstrate our principles.

    I do so love the arrogance of those whose final, closing argument is “I won”, when they won by a majority less than a quarter the size of those who didn’t vote at all.

  121. Darleen says:

    And in 2010 we should vote out all who did not

    I’m waiting to see if the AZ GOP will put up a viable primary candidate against McCain.

    I will contribute what I can to him/her to get McCain out of the Senate.

  122. happyfeet says:

    McCain is a disturbed man I think.

  123. happyfeet says:

    I would happily donate to McCain’s primary opponent so McCain can get some rest. Poor man. At one point last year he thought he was gonna be pezzydent. Went around with all kinds of crazy talk about being “ready to lead.” Touched in the head, bless him.

  124. Sdferr says:

    They are doomed to be overwhelmed by the mere fact of his sitting in the chair in the minds of ordinary people.

    I wrote that retarded sentence. Why? Because I’m retarded, that’s why. But let me re-write it now that I see how retarded it is, if I may.

    They are doomed to be overwhelmed in the minds of ordinary people by the mere fact of his sitting in the chair.

    Now as to Phil’s suggestion, I’ll assume you don’t think that I am being dishonest, either with you nor with myself, when you write rhetorically “Be honest with us…actually be honest with yourself.” I already know every detail you’ve provided as instances of President Obama’s (laughable) credentials. In fact, I know of many more, just as damning in my mind when it comes to a search for a wise executive. So I’m not really in need of lectures on the subject of the unwisdom of this particular choice, thanks. If you would look upthread at libocrat’s post which occasioned my initial response I hope you’ll see that the growing failure of the particular argument “What executive experience does Obama have?” was the point. Obama will, willy-nilly, with everyday he sits in office, outstrip every other politician with whom he has been compared heretofore in “executive experience”, save only those men who have themselves been seated in the Presidency. That is all. It was a good argument during the campaign season. It was useful to compare Obama to Palin, for instance, or to Romney or even, in that long ago time, to Bill Richardson. But no longer I think. It is weak tea.

  125. But no longer I think. It is weak tea.

    right, because now he has on the job training!

  126. Sdferr says:

    Exactly.

  127. happyfeet says:

    Maybe green tea. Hah! Get it?

  128. happyfeet says:

    oh. I meant cause of the antioxidants.

  129. good save, happyfeet.

  130. libocrat says:

    Sdferr, rationalize anyway you want. We are not saying that Obama is not now the “executive”, but you are clearly making excuses for a dimbulb that was elected via Hope and Change.
    If I did heart surgery on you today, I’d have experience as a heart surgeon tomorrow. People like you elected Obama, and you are too stupid to know why you did. Congratulations on your win. You won an EMPTY SUIT.

  131. Darleen says:

    but you are clearly making excuses for a dimbulb that was elected via Hope and Change.

    No, he isn’t. Even without his further explanation I certainly understood he was examining the argument, not the man.

    chill

  132. Sdferr says:

    Rationalize? Are you nuts? I’m not making excuses for the man. Please. Don’t distort my meaning. I’m trying to save honest people from what I can see as a coming rhetorical disaster (evidently people like you, if you wish to hurl accusations about). You must not have been reading here very long if you can think I had anything to do with electing Pres. Obama.

    Criticize him on the basis of his lack of wisdom in decision making, fine. On his errors as they come about. Criticize him for failing to understand the uniquely American polity to the extent that he shows this and you can make your arguments to that effect stick. All well and good. But arguing that he doesn’t have as much executive experience as Sarah does in the Governorship of the state of Alaska, for instance, just isn’t going to cut it. You’re going to be left holding your head in your hands with that argument. Sorry, but that’s the way I see it.

  133. happyfeet says:

    Sdferr is stalwart and true and he’s right about the experience thing not being a great argument anymore. It never was all that effective. Baracky transcends things like experience and leadership and accomplishment. He’s like Barbie. You don’t really know much about her education or background but you can tell she a very together person and also she is very pretty so just leave off.

  134. happyfeet says:

    oh. *she’s* a very together person I meant.

  135. Sdferr says:

    She’s together at least as far as her makers gave her articulations. Her fingers and toes, not so much.

    For textbooks and other factual references, I prefer electronic; for searchability and avoiding of piles of paper to carry around you can’t beat it.

    You a bandwidth thief with the morals and intellect of a slime mold.

  139. Phil says:

    Sdferr,

    It’s not an argument I plan to make for the rest of my life. But when Baracky the Hope and Change guy starts morphing into Baracky the Failed President guy, we can explain to the people who weren’t paying attention: when you nominate your 5 year old nephew to run your family business, it’s bound to fail just as when you elect a guy with no experience whatsoever to lead your country, it’s bound to fail as well. I know you’re busy watching your DVR’d copy of American Idol, but please don’t ever elect someone like that ever again. Sincerely,

    The people paying attention

    It’s not an argument worth pursuing. But it’s worth explaining cause-and-effect.

  140. Bob Reed says:

    Matthews repeated his suggestion that Palin could not write the book later in the show. ‘The question is who actually will write the Palin book,’ he said. ‘The only politician I know who can write is Barack Obama Bill Ayers in the name of O!.’

    Fixed that for you Chris Tingle, you sycophantic dweeb!

    Matthews is sooooooo far in the tank for the one!, that he must be broadcasting his show from a submarine…

    But really, this slam doesn’t surprise me. The Democrats view Palin as such an absolute existential threat, owing to her charisma and populist appeal, that they can’t waste any opportunity to diminish her…

    And just remember, this is the gut that said it was his job to ensure that Obama’s presidency was successful…

    Filthy propagandist might just as well be on Axelrod’s payroll; he probably is!

  141. Mikey NTH says:

    SN: Actually as far as research goes I prefer paper digests and indices for starting my search (I am a lawyer and i am thinking legal research). Those search faster for me and give an overview far faster than an electronic index, and flipping between a section and the index is much faster. Once I find the particular cases or statutes I want to review then an electronic version is best, and then a printout of that version for actual use and highlighting, and margin notes.

    For fun reading I think paper still wins because all that is needed to run it is sufficient light to read by, and it closes quickly and puts away fast and can take physical abuse.

    When electronic books become cheap, easy to use, no power problems, and physically tough, then I think electronic will take the lead. And aesthetically, a full book case does look good.

    My 2 cents.

  142. libocrat says:

    Truth is always a good argument. The TRUTH is Obama has no experience at anything. He has achieved nothing. I’m not trying to say he shouldn’t be elected. He WAS elected. I’m pointing out that an EMPTY SUIT IS as an EMPTY SUIT does or vice versa.
    Sdferr, I apologize for being harsh or rude to you.
    Your point and mine are on 2 differing poles.
    My point is to remind people that Obama will do stupid things, because he isn’t ready for the job, nor is he able. I will continue to make it clear that his decisions are based on anything but logic or reason. He has a mouth and a Marxist ideology. That is all he has. (except for having power). There is really nothing to argue. He is in control and will have no resistance. He will pay back the liberal groups that got him elected, and he will try to keep the campaign promises that he made to THE LEFT. (Gitmo, abotions etc). He will NOT keep ethical promises because no LEFTIES will hold him accountable for that. He will take the path of least resistance. He will make decisions based on his emotions and based on the wishes of LEFTISTS that he needs to keep happy.
    He has no value structure. He has no political philosophy other than YOUR MONEY belongs to those he needs to keep happy.
    He’s a child.

  143. thor says:

    Even on a website that’s often visited by stupid creepers you stand out for being so stupid you’re creepy, libotard.

  144. Sdferr says:

    that Obama will do stupid things

    I think he already has with his anti-terror policy, acquiescing to the portrait of stateless murderers as men worthy of respect as POW’s under Art. 3 of the Geneva Conventions, for instance, no matter what Justice Kennedy may think about it. To make it worse, stating an intent to bring these monsters into a prison system under the territorial jurisdiction of the US. Or stopping the trials of KSM and Bin al-Shib. Sheer idiocy, if you ask me. (And why does he do this? For justice for those men? Ha. For political rewards to himself, that’s why. It’s sick.)

  147. libocrat says:

    Sdferr. Yep, it’s because he wants the approval of those who voted for him. It’s also because he shares a childish liberal belief that strength comes through showing others your jugular. It’s liberal pap.
    Any douche bag off the street can come up with the simplistic Marxist fairy land crap that liberals believe. Liberals are weaklings. They don’t care about Muslims or Detainees, it’s just a posture they strike to make them feel superior. Those who have made our country great were not liberals. Liberals have no moral values, and they are Godless.

    Well yeah. Her moose stew recipe starts with “take one moose (with a .338 Win Mag)”. That would give any limp-wristed librul the vapors. That and the thought that she’ll probably be running against Oh? in 2012 without McCoot to drag down the ticket. [Sigh] And with that image in mind, I’ll be in my bunk.

    Boehner will learn soon enough not to question the size of Teh Package. When Oh? has you bent over Teh Package will seem quite big enough, although you probably won’t even get a reach-around out of the deal.
