…but why natter on about stupid nonissues like McCain’s citizenship, when there are Catholic priests getting convicted of genocide? WHY CAN’T YOU TALK ABOUT WHAT INTERESTS ME, NARROW-MINDED WINGERS????!!!ELEVENTY!!
Cleo, allow me to draw your attention to the purpose of THIS particular thread. When its your blog, you can talk about whatever ridiculous consipiracy theories you want to but right now, we’re having some fun at one of your progressive “leaders” expense. Ah, hypocrisy, thy name is liberal.
I can’t tell you how pleased I am that cLeo wants to expand the conversation here — so, what’s your opinion regarding the corruption of the (democratic) political leadership in Detroit? What do you think of Superdelegate Kwame? Why do you, Cleo, think I’m having such a hard time getting people (except Pablo) to talk about this?
Do you think it is because Kwame, as a black politician – and a supposed rising star in the party – may taint black politics? All this talk about race and politics … well, shit, Kwame’s at the forefront of pulling out that race card.
Not really, Carin. It’s just that I’ve been busy trying to squeeze every bit of juice out of this Spitzmas fiasco, so I haven’t really been able to read up on Kwame.
I did point out a hilarious AoS post on it, though, for you.
Break it down for you? Do you think that the rampant corruption in Detroit (all-black) politics would reflect well on a national level? That it doesn’t smear the whole idea of identity politics?
In Detroit, a white person cannot get elected as dog catcher. Because they are WHITE.
Comment #1 MayBee – There is not a single man on that poster that I’d do.
I’ll second that…
Carin – do you mean to tell me race does factor into how people vote? Who would be the folks who vote based on race? Surely they are wight, right? Oh, wait… erm… this is an uncomfortable line of questioning. Forget I mentioned it.
She is really pretty, and I’m happy I’ve seen her picture. I’ve decided the $5,000 gives her the kind of class that no MySpace peace-sign photo ever could.
So where does she go from here? I say Playboy spread for $500,000, a book deal, and maybe a recording contract. Although she’s really got to suck at music if she looks like that in a bikini, is willing to sleep around, and still doesn’t have a contract.
It looked to me like Alec is playing the sensitive man left back because of flat feet for Silda.
At least we know what he would do if he ever caught his daughter doing anything untoward. He would “fly back there on Friday and I’m going to straighten you out, you inconsiderate little pig.” Has he talked to Mamet yet?
Detroit has certainly been corrupt, and black controlled, for a while. The problem, for me, is that criticizing Detroit is impossible because it is controlled by identity politics. When I compare and contrast the reality of Detroit, with the asinine pronouncements of Rev Wright, my head explodes.
True enough: identity politics has deepened the corruption and allowed new forms to appear. I know of a case where they specifically drew the boundary line for some sort of tax-abatement revitalization zone or whatever so that the line went around a particular business, excluding it. Of course the business was white-owned.
“Yeah, I’ve heard serial killers get their start torturing small pets.”
This may be the dumbest response I’ve ever read. If it’s serious, it’s so manifestly reaching as to be a degree shy of Godwin, and if it’s funny, it’s not funny.
Congratulations, cleo. You are officially KOS-worthy. Take a bow.

Of course, at $1000/hour, it actually only cost him about $150…time and materials, ya know.
Larry Craig is still teh creepiest, and he didn’t even get any.
Where’s Kwame? What’s a gal gotta do around here to push her local agenda?
There’s other stuff goin’ on in the world, ya know?
Even the dull blade, Patterico is ahead of the PW curve.

Where’s Kwame? What’s a gal gotta do around here to push her local agenda?
He has a delightful scandal going on, and hardly anyone is paying attention. I think it’s because Michigan didn’t vote for Bush.
I’m with you, girlfriend.

I think we should all chip in and get leo his own blog, so he can discuss the topics he thinks are REALLY relevant to his little heart’s content.
‘course, blogger is free, so it’s a small investment. Who’s game?
“we’re having some fun at one of your progressive “leaders†expense.’
Yeah, I’ve heard serial killers get their start torturing small pets.
Miss Cleo – Hike up your skirt and get a pair.
There’s other stuff goin’ on in the world, ya know?
Carin covered this in her comment directly preceding yours. Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?
What a shock, Nancy is back and trying with all her little might to change the subject.

…starring Elliot Spitzer as a small pet.
Which might explain the need for professional help, come to think of it.

“may taint black politics?”
sCarin:
You’ll have to break that down for me.
Yes, I saw that. It was amusing.

semenkleo is a little slow on the uptake this morning.
JD – this morning?

Enoch – careful. By merely asking the questions, I have now had to alert the authorities to your rampant racism.
nice graphics, Eliot.
carin, all politics are loco
Nice (non)answer dataless. I wonder if we could get Caric to weigh in.
She is really pretty, and I’m happy I’ve seen her picture. I’ve decided the $5,000 gives her the kind of class that no MySpace peace-sign photo ever could.
So where does she go from here? I say Playboy spread for $500,000, a book deal, and maybe a recording contract. Although she’s really got to suck at music if she looks like that in a bikini, is willing to sleep around, and still doesn’t have a contract.
“Do you think that the rampant corruption in Detroit”
Oh, you’re thinking REGIONALLY. Ipso Fatso, the ‘taint’ of politics
is a worldwide pandemic.
Why am I trying to have a conversation with cLeo?
C’mon, guys, stop talking about the politics of taint!
Today I’d do Alec Baldwin.
“It’s not a problem because everyone does it.” Nice one, cleo.
Today I’d do Alec Baldwin.
Hey MayBee,
It looked to me like Alec is playing the sensitive man left back because of flat feet for Silda.
At least we know what he would do if he ever caught his daughter doing anything untoward. He would “fly back there on Friday and I’m going to straighten you out, you inconsiderate little pig.” Has he talked to Mamet yet?
Carin, to be fair, Detroit’s ALWAYS been corrupt, going back many decades.
It’s been a single-party town, too: only one Republican (an ’80s councilman) elected to city office since before WWII.
The way Pedanticliar keeps trying to change the subject in these Spittoon threads, I have to wonder just what is its connection to the Spittoon?
Detroit has certainly been corrupt, and black controlled, for a while. The problem, for me, is that criticizing Detroit is impossible because it is controlled by identity politics. When I compare and contrast the reality of Detroit, with the asinine pronouncements of Rev Wright, my head explodes.

Yes, because the non-issue of McCains birthplace should take precedence over the Democrat parties culture of corruption.
“Yeah, I’ve heard serial killers get their start torturing small pets.”
This may be the dumbest response I’ve ever read. If it’s serious, it’s so manifestly reaching as to be a degree shy of Godwin, and if it’s funny, it’s not funny.
