I would like personally to thank the demi-God Obama for undertaking the hard task of exposing political corruption in Washington, DC, one nominee at a time.
And to answer Drew M’s question, Mrs. Edwards promises John’s book will tell all.

You’d think after the chaos last year surrounding former Senator John Edwards’ personal life, his wife, Elizabeth, would not be looking for more publicity…
I had to double check and make sure that really was Fox News and not the Onion.
Well I am sure the book release will be timed to take the most advantage of her eventual death from cancer.
What’s the over/under on the number of house seats the GOP will pick up in 2010? Bwa ha ha!
More popcorn please! These ‘distractions’ are mighty entertaining!
That brownish river on the other side is the stimulus bill, Log Cabin.
oh. John also promised that he didn’t ball some strumpet and make a baby while his one and only buttercup was struggling against a fearsome disease. Whatever. These people are trashy.
Too true, Dan. I try to see the humor in this royal disaster of an administration. Too bad we will all have to kick in to pay the check.
The Chicago-Little Rock Axis of Corruption, exposed, one cheat at a time.
“Ethics? We don’t need no steenkin’ ETHICS!”
I think those are entertainment dollars well spent, LC.
Obama must be throwing a lot of weight on his lat pulls. The Obama Messiah is ripped like a Roman stone cutter.
Have you ever tried to divert a river with a club, thor? Demi-God!
Is that harder than the Sunday NYT’s crossword?
That’s harder than the acrostics.
Any thoughts on Iran’s space launch and NK announcing it will test a missile capable of striking the West Coast?
Thank Gaia that The World loves us again because of The One Lightworker, otherwise I’d have said those might be very troubling signs.
I think that if you install missile shields, you’re just asking for it, Techie. You?
Balloon fence time!
You no your good when you can catch those diagonal acrostics in Georges Perec’s Les Revenentes.
That’s all one on one stuff though. Useful distractions for Baracky in the big scheme of things. Where Baracky really hopes to screw over America is with multilateral UN-type stuff what Harry’s Senate will rubberstamp I think.
no your = know you’re
bad grammar day
We’re under the umbrella of vigorous diplomacy and soft power.
I’m sure Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and the EU feel better all ready.
You forgot the Ukraine and Georgia Techie.
I mean, really, Dan, who could have possibly predicted that a person with no leadership experience what so ever would have problems as a manager and an executive once he was elected to the highest-stress job in the world?
Maybe that Schiff guy, Bing.
Oh the list goes on. I’m sure India feels swell to. Not to mention South Korea and Japan.
But thank Gaia again that we don’t have any way to potentially knock weapons out of the sky. That would be provocative.

I dunno, George Bush, maybe?
Welcome to the 21st Century, where being able to block a punch is a sign of aggression. Too bad St. Pierre didn’t have that mentallity then I wouldn’t have lost 15 bucks on Saturday.
Feet, the senate better go pedal to the metal on that UN crap, cuz I think the balance of power will be a little different in 2 years. This super majority looks to have a shorter shelf life than most dairy products. It is already smelling sour.
Bush got out of the gate much better than Baracky is doing. Baracky is fucking up all over the place. It’s a circus.
Do not worry though happy by the time this is filtered through the rose colored glasses worn by the MSM everyone in the country will think his transition has been the best EVAH!!! Who cares if Iran gets nukes and while we scrap our missile shield, look at the presidents pecs and watch his kids pick out their new dog!!!
oh. I would agree LC but don’t underestimate how vested Baracky’s media is in his dirty socialist success. And Harry and Nancy and Rahm haven’t even begun to rig the game yet and vigorously expand the dependent aggrieved non-taxpaying loser class. We are in so much trouble you really can’t quantify it.
I wonder if a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv can be labeled a “distraction”?
See, it’s oddly reminiscent of early 2000, when lots of people forgot that Clinton wasn’t president anymore.
I’m not sure how that happens, really. It’s not as if the media ignored the change.
Yes. I think Mr. Pink has it right. We’re not in oh I guess you better learn tasty low-cost meals to feed your family trouble, we’re in omg what the hell happened to our little country trouble.
zOMG did you hear, Michael Phelps might have sampled the Wacky Tobaccy!!11!!! FILM AT 11. Afterward, the nation holds its breath as the Obamas select a new dog. A panel of experts weighs in on the process.
(in other news, Iran and NK took another major step in destabilizing world affairs, despite the massive coverage of the Obama Inauguration two weeks ago indicating that both “hope” and “change” had arrived)
The vaunted Fourth Estate.
hf, why does Obama hate teh pimps?
Competition, Dan.
I console myself by thinking of how this would be portrayed if McCain had won but then had a massive heart attack. If that had happened and Palin had appointed 4 tax cheats, gave herself around 20 exemptions to her own ethics rules, and appointed as her Secretary of State someone whose husband recieved huge donations from Middle Eastern countries with ties to terrorism, her replacement Governor in Alaska is on video tape discussing selling a Senate seat appointment with her Chief of Staff, if all that had happened this would all be shaking out the same way. I mean in no way would that be reported as reflecting on her intelligence, character, or integrity. No freakin way. They would all be f@cking “distractions” from Palin’s Herculean task of helping our economy I am telling you.
Maybe Obama can send that little shit friend of his (Ayers) over to talk to Iran. They seem similar in their likes/dislikes.
But hey, Pink, he doesn’t sweat. He’s cool like that.
Except for the vetting bar. That bar we kinda set not the highest that any administration in the country has ever set.
Can we get Hans Brix to write an angry letter?
Oh, show me the way to the next vetting bar!
So, what? We’re supposed to give kudos for “setting the bar” and then ignore when they fall woefully short of any previous bar in recent memory?
“The bar that we set is the highest that any administration in the country has ever set.â€Â
Baracky’s own woman got paid off with a doubled salary when he got elected Senator. These are not people who set the bar very high. These are people who believe America has no right to be any less corrupt than any other country. Anything else would be exceptionalism. And we can’t have that.
Realpolitik! It’s what’s for dinner.
The idealism of my realism is the realism of my idealism. Dig?
Well, The One Lightworker has replaced “Hail to the Chief” with piano renditions of “Desert Rose” by Sting.
Maybe that’ll give him some cred with the Mullahs.
Just so’s it’s not Midnight at the Oasis.
The vetting bar has a passing resemblance to happy hour, I think.
The bar was set “Chicago-high”.
I hope THE ONE is better at picking out puppies than he is selecting cabinet members. If not, I foresee dog crap on the Oval Office carpet, and bite marks on the staff.
Come to think of it, I foresee the same thing even if they don’t get a dog at all.
This stuff is getting hard for even cultists like thor and actus to defend.
I’m just a-feared of how high the bar gets placed up our collective colon.
We must be like the people who came to this goshforsaken wilderness and struggled with might and main and their blood and the sweat of their brows and the awful mosquitoes and miasms in uncomfortable footwear to use those rustic whatchamacallems for like digging and plowing and stuff . . . for us!
Shannen Doughertys?
But, remember above all else, Sarah Palin was vastly unqualified to be Vice President.
*Dohertys* I mean
That’s it, hf.
“John’s book will tell all”
What, did somebody start giving a shit?
Personally, I’m just glad it wasn’t “Personal Jesus” by Depeche Mode.
Oh yes, Techie, and she smelled too. Thor said so… and said so … and said so … and said so … and …
I think John’s book is going to be “I’m sorry and will never do it again” 200 times per page over 300 pages.
“Comment by happyfeet on 2/3 @ 1:38 pm #

And President Bush faced the reactionary Democrat obstructionism at the beginning of his first term.
Can we send inspectors into Iran to check on things??
Anyone?
Beuhler?
Still waiting on paralphie to drop by and deliver some sort of poll number that makes everything magically better.
alphie is out trying to catch TEH BUNNIES!!!
It’s all ok, you guys! My co-irker had her radio on to the news and the announcer said that Barack is really pleased that he has more time to spend with his daughters now, so don’t worry! All is well!
There is an awful lot of brown “goodness” flowing from those stables–let’s be green and compost it!
Kinda OT but I found this very funny. I hope noone linked to it on here before because that would make me feel really stupid. Some one on here probably already did.

Hey Dan, if P.Bo didn’t get them out in the open, who would???
I mean, there’s literally millions in unpaid taxes right there they could be stimulating something-or-other with.
If you or I played that game and got $150,000 behind. I do think we’d be spending some quality time in Nasty Nate’s Playpen.
Not to make this about me, but that picture kinda looks like my house before we shut the water off.
I am now going to attempt a reversal of the cause/effect relationship previously possible only to root vegetables:
Obama chose those guys because they had problems with their taxes.
TA DAAAAAAHHHHH!
Hercules should have thanked his gods that there was no EPA when he went on his labors. Killing the Hydar? Endangered species. Clearing the Augean Stables? Clean Water Act.
Demi-god or no, he would have been up to his eyebrows in forms and hearings.
#62: N. O’Brain:
And Bush had all of the transition problems due to the court cases. He didn’t get any assist there until the USSC finally came out with a decision.
And when he did?
‘He’s putting arsenic in our water!’
‘China is testing him hard over that Ares aircraft incident!’
Never had a honeymoon period of any type or length. And he never complained.
Why would Bush need to complain when he had millions of retarded pussies complaining for him.
Now Obama? Two weeks into the job and his press secretary is whining about Fox News while President Obama gets into a snit about Rush Limbuagh.
Really thin-skinned and touchy this President Obama. I think he isn’t going to like the rest of his term that much.
