From the LAT blog:
In a hasty and wise bit of damage control, President-elect Barack Obama quickly telephoned former First Lady Nancy Reagan this afternoon to apologize for “a careless and offhanded remark” he made about her this morning during his first post-election news conference.
Obama was asked how he was preparing to take over the White House, what books he’s reading, if he’d talked to any ex-presidents. He replied:
"In terms of speaking to former presidents, I've spoken to all of them that are living. Obviously, President Clinton -- I didn't want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances."
The passing reference to the former First Lady’s alleged interest in horoscopes struck some observers as a gratuitous slap at an old lady at a time Obama was trying to set a positive, professed bipartisan tone for his transition.
The Obama press office received numerous inquiries for explanation and reaction. And this afternoon it issued the following statement:
President-elect Barack Obama called Nancy Reagan today to apologize for the careless and off-handed remark he made during today’s press conference.
The President-elect expressed his admiration and affection for Mrs. Reagan that so many Americans share and they had a warm conversation,†said President-elect Obama Transition Team Spokesperson Stephanie Cutter.
A complete transcript — and full video — of Obama’s first news conference as president-elect is available here.
And here I thought Obama was part of the hip, new agey scene so many of his supporters have embraced.
Turns out he’s just another bigoted godbotherer who sneers at alternative belief systems. Bill Maher will be terribly disappointed, I bet.
But hey — at least he was cagey enough to realize he’d better hold off on such dismissiveness and metaphysical snobbery (ostensibly directed at a conservative icon, but just as easily directed at Hillary, Shirley MaClaine, and half of the Hollywood divas who make up his creepy virility cult) until after he’s sworn in.
Plus, it probably doesn’t look good that a man who can’t afford to get his aunt off the dole — or send his impoverished half brother $50 a month (which, let’s face it, would likely make him a king in his village) — should take potshots at a woman and former First Lady who stayed with and cared for a husband who suffered from one of the most horrific diseases imaginable.
He should save that kind of talk for the salons with Ayers and the gang, where one can puff on forbidden cigarettes and laugh knowingly.
I can picture him on the phone with Mrs. Reagan, slowly rubbing his middle finger on his handsomely sculpted cheekbone as he mouths his apology.
Can you?
As I commented to Belle Waring (who wouldn’t post it), “Why, you’re one of his babies!”
My only question is can he keep it together enough for media to get him to coronation?
Nice title.
Why can’t McCain type again? Next thing, he’ll be telling Krauthammer to get off his ass.
thor’s man is a child. JHoward predicts O!’s defeat in the public eye in under 30 months. JHoward predicts MSM abandonment syndrome in 24.
Slapping old ladies and conscripting children in the first
weekcouple days of scrumptious president-electihood doesn’t portend greatness. It points up the nation’s need to clear some crud out of its eye, blink, and see again.We may never make it to Marxism. We’ll probably make it to Fail first.
Heck, I remember when Hillary used to talk to Eleanor Roosevelt.
“Next thing, he’ll be telling Krauthammer to get off his ass.”
Nah he leave that to Joey Hairplugs

Q. What’s the differenced between an arrogant, adolescent, selfabsorbed prick and President Elect Obama?
A. I don’t know.
President Obama was just using his innocent comment as an excuse to call Nancy and thank her for her vote.
If I was Bill Ayers I’d move to Alaska and run for Governor. He’d win.
I’m sensing the start of a looong trend of gafftasity from the Great Orator. My prediction – sooner, rather than later, Obamessiah will cease doing live or group interviews. Instead he will opt for one-to-one sessions with select ‘journalists’ who will be expected to pare down the verbal turds in the editing room.
Hey, thor: when you’re picking up roadside trash for your mandatory volunteer job, be sure to let us know where you’ll be.
I wanna drive by and bounce a beer bottle off your skull.
Where’s my free gas, thor?
Answer: Bill Ayers is redistributing Alaska as we speak. Patience, prole.
12
Thank you for making me spit out my beer.
Q. What the difference beween a stupid, adolescent prick and thor?
A. Well, thor’s also an asshole.
Bill Ayers would get a warm welcome in Alaska.
You betcha.
I won’t be doing 50 hours community service work, but I am willing to spend 50 hours standing next to an Obama supporter who is with a big sign reading “NOT IN MY NAME!”
Think the youth vote even knows they’re in for a Wii vacation?
If I was Bill Ayers I’d move to Alaska and run for Governor.
Wouldn’t he have to blow up his own house if he won?
The next four years are going to be hard for you, Jeff, if this post is any indication. The Pajama Media Conglomerate probably contains a lot of occultists, but mainstream America doesn’t care about this kind of crap.
For the first time in 8 years, we’re going to have a president whose IQ is above room temperature. That’s a good thing.
Professor of youth studies governor Ayers found Alaska most in need of juvenile reform, Jeff. Which then employs Bernie Dohrn. Plus you can see Russia from there. Win!
I wonder what the Richard Bennett thinks of all this.
Richard Bennett thinks it’s still 2000 and Hillary’s husband is about to leave office.
“For the first time in 8 years, we’re going to have a president whose IQ is above room temperature. That’s a good thing.”
I rather have a moron that doesn’t want to dismantle the Constitution than a genius who does. Of if you want to break it down to brass tacks I rather have Trigg Palin in charge of our country than a person that specifically wants to expand the power of the government but some call a “good” man. Feel free to disagree.
Does the Constitution say the VP runs the Senate, Pinkie?
Another dick heard from! Yay!!!! Bennett, hell, he broke it!
Mr. Bennett:
You seem to be sentient, and so I must assume that you know that room temperature is considered to be circa 72 degrees F, and much lower on the the Celsius scale.
President Bush’s IQ is above 130. I must conclude that you are either an idiot or a global warming alarmist–especially on the Celsius scale.
Good day and go fuck yourself.
Does your mind think the Democrats do, Richard Bennett?
Ask Reynolds, Richard.
SLANDER!
Incidentally, the majority of Americans not giving a shit about something is no reason not to criticize it.
That Woodrow Wilson was a rather smart chap, I hear.
Hey Dick, when did the Frech help America kick Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon? Was it 2006…oh wait!
The next four years are going to be hard for you, Jeff
No. They’re going to be hard for YOU.
The time for criticism is over. Now it’s time for you to perform.
Free gas, bitch. Get on it.
That’s a pretty good idea, Jeff.
Maybe bring along a stack of pre-filled GOP voter registration forms, ACORN-style.
Call it Operation Nutbuster.
Mr. Bennett:
My five year old grandson just pointed out an omission in my last post. I should also have included President Clinton in my analysis, as you stipulate an eight year time frame. I think even the most rabid Clinton hater would agree that Mr. Clinton’s IQ was substantially above room temperature.
Moreover, my grandson says that stupid assholes like you get beat up at kindergarten all the time. Those scamps!
Incidentally, the majority of Americans not giving a shit about something is no reason not to criticize it.
Jeff, you’ll have to forgive Dick, he’s use to being spoonfed only the most covered events by the dinosaur MSM. He’s hip that way!
Did you notice how small Obie looked in the video? Maybe the weight of the job is sinking in. we are so screwed.
and I wonder if Axelrod wrote the um-uh-pology
“Jeff, you’ll have to forgive Dick, he’s use to being spoonfed only the most covered events by the dinosaur MSM. He’s hip that way!”

It was a twofer- He slanders Nancy Reagen and fucks up who was really having chats with dead people.
Nancy: Astrology
Hillary: Spiritualism
Michelle: Voodoo, no doubt.
Barky’s good at picking on fragile older women. This time he was courageous enough to trash someone outside his own family. The cracka bitch deserved it. Ask Ogletree. He probably ended the conversation by telling her to get over it sweetie, like he does with other women.
Neither of the two LATimes links heading this post are available, the first goes to a generic HTTP.COMish “list of goods and services” and the second is 404. Is there a good reason for the Times to have pulled them?
Lemme see, what part of the First Amendment says the media can’t report the Governor of Alaska’s dumbass remarks? Maybe that’s in Africa’s constitution.
Ohm yeah, Jeff, thanks for reminding me that Glenn is a tool, I’d nearly forgot.
Richard:
Go fuck yourself with a rusty crowbar.
Thanks.
The preceding editorial reply was brought to you by the First Amendment and the Committee for Palin in 2012.
Oh, and Richard:
You’d best get on that free gas thing. Barky’s minions are expecting it.
what part of the First Amendment says the media can’t report the Governor of Alaska’s dumbass remarks?
The same part that says they couldn’t report Joey Hairplugs hallucinations! The French really didn’t help us kick Hezbollah our of southern Lebanon! Try to keep up!
But he’d nearly forgot, Spies.
Dear Dick,
Yes, it actually does.
What part of “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate” isn’t clear to you?
Regards,
John Hancock
Is Hezbollah part of North America?
Free gas, bitch. Get on it.
SBP, I keep on hearing Ray Liotta’s voice in Goodfellows:
Fuck you, pay my mortgage!
Hey, Dickie, where’s my free gas? I also want a cheap home loan. Snap to it!
BTW, not trying to steal a meme from SBP, just piling on.
I remembered it like this, Pats: “The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.”
That “shall have no vote” is a dead giveaway.
Is Hezbollah part of North America?
You’ll have to ask Senator Hairplugs. It was his hallucination.
Dickie boy,
It’s right after the part that says that a municipality can’t raise a cross at Christmas.
You are a tool and a fool, a twofer, as it were.
We could probably trade the Palin family’s new wardrobes for quite a bit of gas, boys and girls. Todd’s alone would fill miles of bumper-to-bumper SUVs.
Obama’s innate asshole-ness keeps shining through.
Oh, yea, this is gonna be fun.
Hezbollah is the 57th state, Richard.
I think Hezbollah holds their meetings at Katie’s restaurant in Scranton! YMMV!
Where is my free gas, Dickie? You owe me, bitch!
Really, Richard? How much did The One’s Geek Temple with Dork columns cost?
Oh, yeah, and that turning off the AVS thing and accepting foreign donations and donations from non-citizens? Uncool, man. Money laundering.
You’re going to mau-mau us, and not consider the $600 million Man?
Thanks for the complete quote, Dick. It affixes my point. S/he gets a vote in the case of a tie. Which means there is a certain Constitutional role. As for the “President of” part, while I realize that has been largely ignored, it doesn’t mean it is not there.
Words have meanings. Like “Congress shall make no law” and “the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. Stuff like that.
Much more than the clothes, Dan, that’s for damn sure. But Dickie knows that already, he’s just too much of a pussy to realize what he and his ilk have wrought. Plenty of time for us to grind his face in it.
OUTLAW!
Damn elite mainstream foreign media:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5257602.stm
“France is at the centre of intense diplomatic efforts to bring about a ceasefire in Lebanon, in the face of grave risks that the conflict could spread out of control. Does France hold the key to peace in the Middle East?
“France now has the key role, with the US, in achieving a ceasefire agreement through the UN Security Council.
“French diplomats speak of the need to take due account of Lebanese and other Arab states’ objections to the draft UN resolution, as well as core Israeli demands. They face a painfully hard task to reconcile the wishes of both sides.
“France’s big foreign policy idea also faces its toughest test yet: it is that the US has destabilised the Middle East through its mistakes, like the invasion of Iraq, and that France can do better as the champion of an alternative European strategy.
“The reputation of French President Jacques Chirac is at stake, too. His dismally low support rating shows signs of improving thanks to recent high-profile French diplomacy.
“Mr Chirac may hope to score a dramatic international success before next May, when his long political career is expected to end. Success or failure over Lebanon could spell the difference between glory and shame for him and his Gaullist ideas about shaping the world.”
Mr. Bennett:
I note that many commenters above refer to you in an overly familiar way. They call you “Dick.” While the irony is obvious, you are a dick, and so I suppose we must accept this lapse in manners.
Dickie’s meme shall not be infringed!
“President of the Senate” is a title, not a set of responsibilities. The responsibilities being limited to tie-breaking, which is a far cry from “running” things. Do try and use what God gave you.
#61. Super uncool. Like it ought to be illegal if it isn’t already, for a candidate to do that.
Dickie, one problem, Hezbollah is still there! They were never kicked out!
As I take it, Old Dad, the use of the sobriquet indicates a desire on the part of the PW wags to suck it.
Oh, Richard. Now you know I have no problem w/ the media reporting. But I like when it’s sourced. And when those leaking the info don’t have personal grudges.
Of course, I have no way of knowing if those leaks are coming from people with personal grudges, because the “reports” aren’t really sourced.
So I can’t decide how seriously to take them — though I’ve pointed to at least some evidence that suggests that at least some of what the report “reports” is unlikely.
This is why I like sourced reports. From actual reporters.
Shep Smith and Mr Cameron, on the other hand, are uberdouches. Cameron, if I recall, was busy after 911 chasing down the Jews who were acting suspiciously; and Smith lost me when he went paddling through puddles looking for cannibalism among the wretched darkies who add local color to the French Quarter.
How dare you criticize Fox News’ reporters, Jeff! Have you no decency at all? That’s what living in a Blue State will do to you.
You know what’s funny, Richard? How little respect you have for the truth.
If Fox News reports it, Dan, it is the Truth.
Sorry, Richard. That’s never cut it around here. And neither do you.
You know what, it is really liberating to respond to someone who is under the hammer. That way, you don’t actually have to read what they are saying, sort of like the trolls do when they come here to argue with the straw men in their head. What’s the point in reading it anyway? I already know the chance of it being anything other than worthless is like 1 in 1000. I am not going to read 999 posts of theirs to find one pearl in a deep pool of shit.
Getting back to the subject at hand… the hilarious thing about all this?
Nancy Reagan can probably benchpress more than Obama can.
On his best day. With a four pack of Red Bull coursing through him.
BTW, the Office of the President Elect also showed his prowess for speaking off the cuff and without the magic teleprompter I see.
Also… his first thought when he got that security briefing probably caused him to shit his drawers. But still such a poor sport… ducking the question the way he did about what he heard……
Nor would he put himself on tape saying he would raise taxes. Just walked all the way around it….
Okay, on topic. This incident further reveals Obama’s inherent misogyny. The only woman he respects (more likely fears) is probably his wife, and that’s because if he crosses her she will kick his ass.
He could easily have made the joke about himself, like “I don’t think I want to conduct a seance, but I’ll check with my advisors and get back to you.” The problem is, he has no idea how to be self-deprecating. He has much too high an opinion of himself. I consider it to be a serious flaw in his character. People who take themselves too seriously can do a lot of damage.
Mr. Bennett:
Sir!! I must strongly rebuke you. There has been no mention of microscopes, magnifying glasses, or tweezers. I must, therefore, strongly assert that any fantasy on your part of anyone sucking any of your, ahem, appendages (however imaginary or microscopic or diseased or dysfunctional) is sadly delusional. For that, I commend you to the Daily Dish.
Regards, and Go Fuck Yourself
Ungentlemanly and petty swipes really stick out when you’ve been painted as a transcendant being of luminous benevolence and intelligence.
Which he is not. I wonder when folks will start to figure it out?
“he has no idea how to be self-deprecating”
Yes. That’s it exactly.
Interesting, isn’t it, cranky-d?
He’s charismatic and all that, but he does have some glaring character defects – arrogance, preening, misogyny – its going to quickly add up to an easily exploitable picture….
Can’t fkn wait.
I thought the jab at the seance-goers was funny, but I don’t believe Jesus played with dinosaurs.
Nah Sarah, he’ll just scratch his nose with his middle finger, and all his followers will snicker about how he just punked someone. Should work out great with the likes of Putin or Hu Jintao.
Of course I believe Fox News when they report un-named sources within the McCain campaign called Sister Palin a “whack job,” because she so obviously is.
And “she’s dumber than a breast pump,” my words.
O! Temple of Cards collapsing?
http://rodonline.typepad.com/rodonline/2008/11/n-word-and-raci.html
This is also further evidence of a narcissistic personality combined with feelings of inadequacy. He has to tear other people down in order to elevate himself.
Daily Show said Palin is so dumb she thinks the capitol of China is Chinatown. That was unsourced.
I imagine that was Richard again at 85 and 87, but I really don’t know. I don’t care, either.

Two days after the election?
By raising the subject, Daily Show implied Palin is about dumb enough to think the capitol of the American state of Alaska is her office. That is not unsourced.
What exactly is your point, the Richard Bennett?
“Comment by Jeff G. on 11/7 @ 8:00 pm #

Hated black people.

Whoops.

Richard’s point is that he is a tool. He is making it quite well.
Will somebody give Richard his p-shop of Palin in a dominatrix suit back so he will stop crying and go back to his room?
So far,Richard, you’ve shown your IQ to be floating around 100.
Oh.Yeah.
“Get me my free gas, bitch.”
“Comment by B Moe on 11/7 @ 9:12 pm #

Naw, Dick is a masochist troll.
He reads the insults hurled at his idiotic posts and sits in front of his computer screen playing “yankee-my-wankee”.
Pitiful, really.
“Comment by Richard Bennett on 11/7 @ 8:56 pm #
Daily Show said Palin is so dumb she thinks the capitol of China is Chinatown. That was unsourced.”
But you believed them.
Who’s the idiot again?
Dick Bennett is old and close to death. Oh and very fat. Let him get it out. I’ll bury him myself, if needed. Oh and due to his advanced and portly state, he thinks the Daily Show is actual news. Let him go on into that good night.
Yeah. Alaska’s a lot more corrupt than Chicago.
Isn’t Dick Bennett another “alleged” libertarian whose wet for Obama? Again, I understand disdain for Bush, but the love for O! kind of gives away the farm.
Alaska re-elected convicted felon Ted Stevens
Yeah, and how many times did Taxchusetts re-elect Gary Studds(6):
* Had sexual relations with someone nominally his subordinate
* Went to great lengths to conceal the relations
* Denied the relationship right up until confronted with proof
* When unable to deny it any longer, fully acknowledged it had happened
* Was fiercely defended by his fellow party members
* Ended up even more popular than ever, even lionized for his courage
* Almost certainly broke the law, either during the relationship or in trying to conceal it
And for O! to be disrespectful to Nancy Reagan? What a fucking tool. Yep, the kids like this guy.
I suspect that, for fathers in general, the next 4 years may indeed be bad if Vice President Biden has anything to say about it. You, Dickie, are a fraud and a fool. You may go away now.
“Is Hezbollah part of North America?”
Ah. Somebody else who has never visited Dearborn, Hamtramk, Houston, or Phoenix.
Well O! friends really do build some nice slums.
Cut Barry some slack, man! He’s obviously used to performing for “friendly” audiences who like that sort of “humor”.
Isn’t Dick Bennett another “alleged†libertarian whose wet for Obama?
He also doesn’t seem to believe in freedom of religion or women, but who wants to nit pick.
Maybe he’s an absolutist like John O. His opinion trumps fact and reason. You know, truthiness, cause if he watches the Daily Show, I’m sure he sticks around for the Colbert Report.
Sadly, I have to agree that Alaska does suffer from corruption — though comparing Alaska’s corruption to Chicago’s is like comparing Mojo Jojo to Darth Sidious.
Your transcript link is messed up a little. Baracky didn’t have anything to say though. I read the whole thing. Grow the economy from the bottom up? That’s some sort of dirty socialist mantra I think. Or maybe a koan. You can tell he smoked a lot of dope.
Grow it from the bottom, man. Ok picture the economy like a giant bong dude.
it takes a viilage
people
village
Finally, evidence of Joey B’s skilled hand guiding O! in the ways of statecraft…
He’s doin’ pretty well in his gaffe-fu training, eh?
I especially admired his glib delivery…
Best Wishes
Richard,
I honestly rolled down this thread and tried to read everything you wrote…unfortunatley, by your third post one of my eye balls fucking jumped ship, straight up tried to kill itself, and then just went lazy.
Thanks for that.
Jackass.
Obama’s Bong of Hope
Grow the economy from the bottom up?
Is that like “Have the street people meet in conference room two and compose the new paradigm, execute after lunch (two drink minimum)?”
FWIW, I actually see people like Maher, Colbert, and SNL being he people that begin the take down.
Their reason for existence is to make fun of silly public figures. What else can they do in this situation? Besides, when we’re all out digging in the snow for grass to eat, they’ll need a job, too.
Richard is so dumb he likes my “Rip her to Shreds”video. (now in higher res!)
Which I am pimping for the last time I swear. I’m just trying to get H’feets to notice the inclusion of sleestaks.
Word is he is trying to get Pelosi to refer to new stimulus packages as “sparkin’ up the ‘conomy, yo”
I am watching. They block youtube at work where I work.
The reason Dick and his type can’t let go of Palin is because misogyny is their only link to Obama.
It’s like he imagines his first personal meeting with THE ONE, striding confidently up, doing a complicated handshake the black kid at the pizzeria showed him for $10, and saying “My brooother”, then pointing playfully and adding “Bro’s before Ho’s…am I right? You know I am!”
Then he would laugh, not his usual bray, but the cool chuckle he’s been practicing in front of the mirror.
If Palin disappears back to the stone age, the link becomes tenuous, and his dream meeting would feel dated and awkward.
It would be a blow to his delusions of superiority.
“Grow it from the bottom, man.”
Isn’t that where all the “chump change” is located?
“You Know Her”
Wow Sarah, that was great! Now I have a new song to practice on the melodica!
That,s the “chump change” we can believe in.
Alaska re-elected convicted felon Ted Stevens
Daily Show: “Damn those Washington, D.C. immigrants!”/anon
hyphen not comma. arrgh.
The “Rip her to Shreds†video isn’t bad, if you’re into that kinda thing; it’s a little slow is all, and there aren’t any car chases, explosions, or helicopters.
Great. Now the naggots and figgers are at each others’ throats.

Fine, fine. Denounced and whatnot.
Good job. Not being the guy that watches tv I hadn’t seen a lot of that. Except for the sleestaks. Here is a pic and here is a pic. Those were memorable to me I know cause I remembered them.
oops. Here is the other one.
I understand her better after seeing that. I was never not just going to vote against the dirty socialist so I didn’t follow her like some did.
What’s telling is not so much the gaffe; I don’t believe that he intended to tho’ down on Nancy Reagan…
And you know why he didn’t goof on Hillz’ discussions with Elenor Roosevelt; because of the unity…And the deal he made with Billy Jeff during their pow-wow in Harlem…
But that Glibama didn’t get that he may have insulted a frail old woman, albeit unintentionally, who also happened to be a former first lady, until the press office received numerous inquiries for explanation and reaction…? And then waited a few hours to issue an apology?
WTF!
At least he called her and apologized…And, for all his, already way too ballyhooed, coolness!; he could learn a few things about graciousness and bearing from Nancy…
Put on your seat belts folks, it’s gonna be an interesting, and bumpy, ride I think…
By the way, that wasn’t the only gaffe of this presser. It was noticed, by a few TV news networks, that he dodged questions about a treasury secretary and tax policy. Bob Rubin has said he’s not interested and neither is John Corozine. And, at the very end of the news conference, O! was asked if he would postpone his upper-end tax increases next year. His response left the door open slightly. He said his economic plan in the campaign is the right program, but over the next several weeks and months he will take a look at the economy.
Sheesh…
You’d think that at a time of market and economic volitility he would calm folks fears by making it very clear that they could expect no tax increases in 2009…
And do ya think he’s havin’ a hard time getting a treasury boss with wall street juice to sign on..?
God only knows, and he ain’t tellin’ ! So only time will tell…
Best Wishes…
you know what I mean
Yeah, Dickie’s a cunt!
It was revealing Bob cause that was second nature to him. Republicans… objects of derision. It’s reflexive and he presumes people he’s talking to are on the same page.
But what’s more important is you’re right that Baracky failed to send any stabilizing signals. Yahoo! fell 12% today cause of Baracky. There’s people what work there that soon won’t. There’s a lot of that sort of thing going on.
HP: re second nature and all that shit.
He had to stand in front of that press and now, he was the man…. wasn’t running against anyone now…. had to answer for himself. And the world was watching.
It was the second time today he shit his drawers.
Lemme interrupt this spectacle for a little teensy question, if you please: given that Obama is an evil socialist tool of Satan who pals around with terrists and inflicts abortions in innocent women and children in his spare time, and Biden is a hallucinating hairplug with less knowledge of world affairs than Groucho Marx, how is it they won the old, you know, election thing?
Did they use the Daley family’s Chicago magic to steal it?
Did the mainstream elite liberal media brainwash the voters?
Did the Devil make America elect his minion?
I figured y’all would have it all figgered out by now, being enlightened and witty.
Now you can go back to whatever you were doing,
Dick
Obviously, Dick, the most upright and deserving people always win elections, Dick, which is why Bush Jr won twice.
Honestly, I find your inability to argue distressing.
The reason Dick and his type can’t let go of Palin is because misogyny is their only link to Obama.
They should be just pissing themselves over this one then.

It’s reflexive and he presumes people he’s talking to are on the same page.
Yeah, and are the same mental age, too – around that of an abused five year old.
I don’t know, somehow I’m afraid that’s what led to Obama’s possibly reflexive go-to use of Nancy Reagan. Whatever, that’s not very stabilizing either.
Sara Palin as Joe the Plumber’s amorous client is another ‘funny’. He gives service with a smile. Thx, for cheering us liberals up. Freeprs are going all wingnuts over the mild joke.
Jeebus! I’m more worried about Stewart.
That was hilarious. He shouldn’t have apologized at all.
Baracky’s media is in the tank for him, Dickie. That’s how.

So, Barney Frank suffers a stroke.
Then someone at a press conference says: “Senator Obama, how do you know Bill Ayers?”
And Obama says, “Well, not biblically. You know, like Barney Frank or something.”
And everyone laughs and laughs.

You two jag-offs MUST work in academia. Otherwise you’d be dusting off your sad, pathetic resumes right about now.
Your plastic jesus has four years.
His grubby deciples in congress have two.
You stupid fuckers have no idea how to get beyond tomorrow.
Know nothing other than to fight a race you’ve lost for 8 years.
You won and still can’t quit jerking off… LOL
You don’t realize it’s all on your narrow chimp shoulders now.
Can’t fling poo anymore. It’s all on you.
In the two days your super-fly black commie jesus has worn his crown the dow has dropped 700 pts.
?
Blather about McCain and Palin…blah, blah, blah.
Whatever.
You’re the head bitches in charge now.
Where’s your messiah?
You’re fucked.
He lied to you and you bought it.
I laugh at you.
You and all yours are a pathetic joke.
Obama needs to say that he will hold and “Economic Summit” and have all the jaw-jaw.
Then go out all worn looking and tell everyone he’s worked harder than he has ever worked in his life but he just can’t find anyway to give us all that free gas and pay our mortgages.
Intead we get a consolation prize, a tax increase with extra hope attached. Say it’s for the children.
It worked before for a dope from Hope.

That was hilarious. He shouldn’t have apologized at all.
Nah, what’s gonna be hilarious is when Obama gets women to register for the draft under the guise of implementing His National Service program.

Sarah W,
Great video there, that rip-her-to-shreds thing…
And where did you get the Mao-esque closing shot picture? I’d love to have a copy…
Best Wishes…
I like Larry Summers.
BTW, not trying to steal a meme from SBP, just piling on.
Oh, by all means use it. I think we should all start contacting our elected representatives on a regular basis and asking about the free gas.
The right to free gas is part of the new “living” Constitution, after all.
Jeff constantly reminds me why free speech is important.
Unfortunately, he uses Bennett during the presentation.
I like Larry Summers.
Well, you see… there’s the problem, Dicky.
You may like Larry Summers (and I have a reasonable amount of regard for him myself), but an awful lot of radical feminists don’t.
Poof! There goes that part of Obama’s “mandate” <— (or should that be “womyndate”?)
The “youth vote” isn’t going to be happy about that mandatory volunteer dealie. Poof!
The “anti-war” folks are going to throw a clot over Emanuel. Poof!
If anything at all happens to Israel, the Jewish vote will go. Poof!
If Obama bitchslaps Iran to keep anything from happening to Israel — Poof!
If Obama raises taxes enough to pay for all that free gas, suburban and middle-class vote — Poof!
If Obama doesn’t fork over the free gas, underclass vote — Poof!
What was the last figure for Obama’s man/woman/person-of-indeterminate-gender-date?…52-48, wasn’t it?
The full House is up for reelection in two years, along with one third of the Senate.
Let me make it even plainer to Dicky, thor, meya, and the rest:
You’d better stop wasting your time arguing with us and start marshaling your arguments for dealing with Barky’s KiddieKoolaidKult.
They’re the ones you’re going to have to keep happy.
Good luck with that, bitches.
And I want my free gas.
P.S. George Bush isn’t going to be around next time, so don’t count on having that arrow in your quiver.
Your man spent $600 million to barely eke out a victory against the party of one of the most unpopular Presidents in U.S. history.
The midterm elections are going to be a fucking slaughter.
Richard Bennet,
I can think of, oh, about 600 million things that went a long way towards Glibama
buyingwinning the election. That, and the fifth column in the MSM; they not only refused to properly vet him, like they would have any other, but they ran interference, conveniently changed the subjects when necessary, breathlessly wrung their hands over the supposed negativity of McCain’s campaign, and joined his campaign in coordinated attacks against any of his opponents…Oh, and the race card came in real handy too; it was played well and played often! Perfect dog whistle to appeal to our public educated kids filled up with notions of phoney diversity, identity politics, and multi-culturalism from K to 12-and academia too if they go on in their education!
I mean, they knew…Between Matthews and Olbermann swearing fealty to lord Obamus, and the writers at newsweek just now talking about the creepiness, cult like, feeling that surroundd the campain…Brokaw and Charlie Rose tut-tutting to each other about the fact that, “They really don’t know Obama…”
When you add in the fact that Booooosh! had a lackluster second term-overstated as abject failure by the MSM, despite the success of the surge, and Soros and his offshore hedge fund buddies, through agressive naked shortselling, provide the ersatz market collapse October surprise to ice the deal…
Well let’s just say I’m not surprised at all. We were lucky to do as well as we did…
But, as the karmaic cliche says, what goes around-comes around…There will be justice in the end…
Best Wishes
i lurn so much from this site
the house and senate be in play in 2010?
time to stop drinking
seriously-they be winnable?
cuz i’m up ur face throw teh bums out attitude wise
d-r
52- 48
don’t care
OUT!
The ENTIRE House comes up for election every two years, pdbuttons.
Whether it’s winnable depends on how bad Obama fucks up between now and then.
15 Democratic seats will be up for election in the Senate.
#98- We re-elected Ted Stevens in part to keep a filibuster-proof senate away from Dems. We trust our Repub. Gov to make a good appointment until a special election as a worst case scenario- Also there was a backlash against all of the DNC attack ad money that came in to derail Stevens. Our free-enterprise economy is tied to resource devel., and we are screwed with Dem control of Whitehouse and Congress. Alaskans are now Outlaw. But with gas. Bitches.
I just voted and bill delahunt was on the ballot

The place where I just took my car today to get some work done has a plaque displayed awarding one particular guy “the best employee of the year”. But that particular guy owns the shop and he’s the only one who works there.
You gotta love it.
He’s got a lot of business – says he “only works half a day, 9 to 9”. And he obviously loves it too, if paying total attention to a 1990 GMC Suburban is any measure – that, along with the superlative nature of the condition of his shop.
But please, Barak, save him! He’s just so unhappy! And he wants You to have a cut, Asshole.
Richard said,
“Did they use the Daley family’s Chicago magic to steal it?”
Uh. It’s called the Chicago machine, and the Daleys don’t own it. They control it.And it’s been responsible for getting more than one democratic president elected. Axelrod is an old and respected name in Illinois corrupt politics.
So get me my free gas, bitch.
Are you old enough to drive, Rusty?
Where’s my free gas, pussy boy? Also, I expect that mortgage payment pronto. Chop chop!
Another example of why Obama is not a good person. (can’t bring myself to refer to him as a man)
Do you think VH1 will do a Top 100?
100. Faked own birth
99. Laughs at Holocaust jokes
98. Makes fun of really old ladies
97. Makes fun of plumbers
96. Supported a drug dealer so he could kill again
All that free gas and shit is going to have to wait until after Soros and the rest of the big money boys what paid for Baracky to get their fat cat asses set up proper. They bought this shit and Baracky is gonna have to wait until they let him pick Larry Summers. Rezko will be pardoned if he can keep his mouth shut until January. If he does, then Soros will let him have a shitty fiefdom in obscurity. WTF, do you think he’s in charge or something?
Soros = Cheney, yo.
I woke up, went out to my car, and guess what? The gas tank is nearly empty! Where’s teh fairness in that? I’m hoping the check is in the mail for my mortgage, otherwise…oh yeah…do I have to, um…you know…actaually…naaaaah…fuck it!
AWB to become permanent, yo.
Bennett is showing nishi-esque trolling skills. Maybe it’s similar root causes?
Jeff, you are going to be up to your neck in topics to post during this administration…endless, endless material as the Great and Terrible Ob becomes the man behind the curtain.
Is Hezbollah part of North America?
Obama can see them from his house… they’re staying with the Khalidi’s
95. Bad tipper
94. Had children baptized by a lunatic
93. Had a lunatic perform his wedding ceremony
92. Steps out on his O’lady
91. Has a terrorist babysit his kids while he steps out on O’lady
90.fails to get results in education project worth $100 million
89.builds slum for constituents
88.smears political opponent with sealed divorce records
87.disenfranchises voters through technicality
86.plays race card on opponent when confronted with own record/words
Stop it guys, or Patterico will write another post.
85. Says all troops do is air raid villages and kill civilians
84. Puts ketchup on fish sticks
83. Flips opponents off on camera
82. Doesn’t visit wounded troops if he can’t get the pub
81. Comedians are reluctant to make fun of him
Dammit! I was getting warmed up.
If he really puts ketchup on fishsticks, fuck it. Onward. Let Patterico write another fucking post trying to defend that!
Obama to Nancy:
“I’m sorry if you…”
80.calls people selfish for not wanting to pay more taxes
79.gets irritated when interrupted while eating waffles
78.doesn’t pay female staffers equally
77.calls women “sweetie”
76.supports Kenyan Raila Odinga who rioted when not elected
If he really was going for a Mrs. Lincoln joke but undershot it by about 120 years, then can we bring up “I’m comin’, Weezie!” in the context of absolutely slaughtered jokes?
I know Biden’s got 30 years of seniority on the whole Gaffer In Chief bit, but Obama may well try to make a run at it in the next few years. Unless, of course, we start getting only North Korean-style “Dear Leader told a joke about a gay man, a Mormon, Chi Chi Rodriguez and the Laffer Curve and everyone in the room agreed it was the Best Joke Ever” releases after Obama is spirited away from the public eye.
But then, I’m a cynic.
Stop it guys, or Patterico will write another post.
He’s just vying for a gig over at The Atlantic.
75. Changed his mind on involuntary servitude.
74. Changed his mind on revrun J. Wright.
73. Changed his mind on Bill Ayers.
72. Changed his mind on grandma.
71. Changed his mind on his own religion.
Patterico will learn his lesson after he reaches across the aisle, and pulls back a bloody stump.
@ThomasD:
That’s not entirely fair. Patterico is arguing from a position that he sees as decent and, while it’s misguided IMNSHO, he’s no Sully. No Goldstein Hate has wrapped its tentacles around his brainstem yet and I don’t believe he’s ever questioned just who fathered Jeff’s son…
70. He “apologizes” for thoughtless and insensitive remarks.
69. ‘Nuff said.
68. He actually likes David Axelrod.
67. He prefers playing basketball to golf.
66. He thinks Saul Alinsky is your friend.
(Sorry to go off-topic, but Mark Lilla’s commentary in Saturday’s [Nov 8th] Wall Street Journal is really something to behold. Celebrating the return of the “ignorant, provincial” Sarah Palin to Alaska, he decries that the conservative intellectual tradition has been hijacked by the “vulgarism” of the mob of yahoos not blessed with the cranial capacity to have tenure at Columbia like the venerable Mr. Lilla. My words, these people don’t even have passports!)
(Or in terms we flyover hicks can understand: “Shaddup with your gibbering, you baboons! Let us big-brain folks take over, since you are only interested in beer, scratching your nads, and pro wrestling.”)
(To paraphrase Sally Field: “You hate us! You really, really hate us!” Oh, we understand, pal, let me tell you.)
65.supports letting failed abortion babies die
64.supports rising gasoline cost as long as it doesn’t rise too fast
63.supports bankrupting coal plants
62.supports ACORN election registration fraud
61.supports surrogates trying to shutdown unflattering talk shows
Scratching my nads is a necessity, not an interest. Do hobbies itch? If they do, then I’ll concede that point.
How can Baracky even think of validating a bigot so reprehensible that he needed to be run out of Hahhvad?
Got a link, percy?
Here you go Jeff. Lilla in WSJ “The Perils of Populism”.
That’s not entirely fair.
You sir are correct. It was a cheap shot offered for humorous effect, meant to impune the Atlantic and it’s authors moreso than Mr. Frey. Who I will not be calling to offer an apology.
60. prefers forced volunteerism to free labor
59. prefers foreign oil to domestic oil
58. prefers “God Damn America” to “God Bless America”
57. prefers Keystone Light to Shiner Bock
56. prefers Bill the Terrorist to Joe the Plumber
Thanks, Sdferr. Your Google-fu is superior to mine.
Nah, percy, I just happened to be reading the thing at the time, thanks to you.
[…] SBP’s comment on Jeff’s “Good Man” post inspired this one. […]

“So funny I forgot to laugh” – bitches.
Cowboys & Outlaws…
Jeff Goldstein has a great term for those of us who are unwilling to give up the ship and make nice with those Americans who relentlessly undermined this country and insulted red-state Americans for the duration of George W. Bush’s eight years in …….
Lilla:
Sounds like Lilla is vying for a protein wisdom troll slot.
I don’t have a car.
I still want my gas!
Im gonna sell it,for Profit!

Not since Progressivism took over White Supremism.
For Tricky-Dickie, Hammer-Boi and their ilk…
Alright you motherfuckers, where’s my goddam gas? And you’d better make it Shell V-Power or equivalent, bitches, as my C6 vert has very particular tastes in fuel.
But to get back to the subject at hand, did anyone notice that idiotic sign on the podium???? I’ve been following presidential politics since 1968, and I have never seen the like. Between this and the cheap shot at Nancy Reagan, it only reinforces what I already knew; the Magic Negro has no class…

“If Obama bitchslaps Iran to keep anything from happening to Israel”
– i would support a bitchslape to Iran.
a bitchslap to Syria.
then we go down to the last name in the “People who pissed off the U.S.” list. we saved the best for dessert.
any guess’s?

It smells like … victory. You know … this war’s gonna end some day.
Another example of why Obama is not a good person.
Beaners?
Poof! There goes that part of Obama’s “mandate†< (or should that be “womyndate�)
I went on a womyndate once. It didn’t go so well – I ordered a cheeseburger and she freaked out.
This is not the Barack Obama I thought I knew. {{line stolen from my husband}}
Hey Alpuccino had one too many sophist-topped-espressos. What with it with the smear lists? I expect a bit better crap from you guys. Not cricising Bush’s IQ – He’s obviously brain-injured and would have no attention span or verbal skills to fill in the form, therefore deserves pity as has been used by more sinister interests.Think Harpo or Groucho would make mighty fine Presidents – I would like to hear Groucho’s inauguration speech and Harpo would be eloquent even if he just played the harp.I thought the usual suspects on this site eschewed political correctness – 1st you complain about spin doctoring and then when Obama lets fly with a flippant reference to Ol’ Nancy (who might have been flattered at being mentioned, and then apologised to. We old ladies find it nice when a young, pretty man remembers us.)And Richard B. – we both have tasted the cold but rusty steel of SB&P’s crowbar – meybe we should team up.And Happyfeet, sorry to hear you cant access U-tube at work It’s un-American. And working at work – no wonder you crave freedom. Yes I think you’re on to something – there is a koan in that bottom up thing of O’s. Koans can permanently blow your mind (there should be health warnings). I can hear Obama’s one hand clapping now, hopefully not because one of you guys cut it off. Lotsaluck, Mindlesley.
