A Good Man is Hard to Find

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?

  2. Dan Collins says:

    As I commented to Belle Waring (who wouldn’t post it), “Why, you’re one of his babies!”

  3. TmjUtah says:

    My only question is can he keep it together enough for media to get him to coronation?

  4. Mr. Pink says:

    Nice title.

  5. Dan Collins says:

    Why can’t McCain type again? Next thing, he’ll be telling Krauthammer to get off his ass.

  6. JHOward says:

    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 week couple 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.

    Nah he leave that to Joey Hairplugs

  8. Old Dad says:

    Q. What’s the differenced between an arrogant, adolescent, selfabsorbed prick and President Elect Obama?

    A. I don’t know.

  9. thor says:

    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.

  10. ThomasD says:

    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.

  11. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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.

  12. JHoward says:

    Where’s my free gas, thor?

    Answer: Bill Ayers is redistributing Alaska as we speak. Patience, prole.

  13. Mr. Pink says:

    12

    Thank you for making me spit out my beer.

  14. Old Dad says:

    Q. What the difference beween a stupid, adolescent prick and thor?

    A. Well, thor’s also an asshole.

  15. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Bill Ayers would get a warm welcome in Alaska.

    You betcha.

  16. Jeff G. says:

    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?

  17. Mossberg500 says:

    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?

  18. 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.

  19. JHoward says:

    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!

  20. JHoward says:

    I wonder what the Richard Bennett thinks of all this.

  21. McGehee says:

    Richard Bennett thinks it’s still 2000 and Hillary’s husband is about to leave office.

  22. Mr. Pink says:

    “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.

  23. Does the Constitution say the VP runs the Senate, Pinkie?

  24. Mossberg500 says:

    Another dick heard from! Yay!!!! Bennett, hell, he broke it!

  25. Old Dad says:

    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.

  26. JHoward says:

    Does your mind think the Democrats do, Richard Bennett?

  27. Jeff G. says:

    Ask Reynolds, Richard.

  28. JHoward says:

    Good day and go fuck yourself.

    SLANDER!

  29. Jeff G. says:

    Incidentally, the majority of Americans not giving a shit about something is no reason not to criticize it.

  30. Jeff G. says:

    That Woodrow Wilson was a rather smart chap, I hear.

  31. Mossberg500 says:

    Hey Dick, when did the Frech help America kick Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon? Was it 2006…oh wait!

  32. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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.

  33. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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.

  34. Old Dad says:

    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!

  35. Mossberg500 says:

    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!

  36. 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

  37. dre says:

    “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!”

    Friday night stories on ABC’s World News and the NBC Nightly News ran a clip of President-elect Barack Obama’s gaffe at his press conference in which he related he had talked to all of the “living” former Presidents, as “I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any seances.” But both newscasts failed to note it was Hillary Clinton, not Nancy Reagan, who reportedly had seances in the White House. ABC’s Jake Tapper called Obama’s comment “a lighter moment” while NBC’s Lee Cowan described it as “the only awkward moment of his first meeting with the press.”

    http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-baker/2008/11/07/abc-nbc-fail-correct-obamas-seance-gaffe

    It was a twofer- He slanders Nancy Reagen and fucks up who was really having chats with dead people.

  38. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Nancy: Astrology
    Hillary: Spiritualism
    Michelle: Voodoo, no doubt.

  39. Mossberg500 says:

    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.

  40. Sdferr says:

    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?

  41. 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.

  42. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    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.

  43. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Oh, and Richard:

    You’d best get on that free gas thing. Barky’s minions are expecting it.

  44. Mossberg500 says:

    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!

  45. JHoward says:

    But he’d nearly forgot, Spies.

  46. Patrick says:

    Comment by Richard Bennett on 11/7 @ 7:53 pm #

    Does the Constitution say the VP runs the Senate, Pinkie?

    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

  47. Is Hezbollah part of North America?

  48. Mossberg500 says:

    Free gas, bitch. Get on it.

    SBP, I keep on hearing Ray Liotta’s voice in Goodfellows:

    Fuck you, pay my mortgage!

  49. cranky-d says:

    Hey, Dickie, where’s my free gas? I also want a cheap home loan. Snap to it!

  50. cranky-d says:

    BTW, not trying to steal a meme from SBP, just piling on.

  51. 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.

  52. Mossberg500 says:

    Is Hezbollah part of North America?

    You’ll have to ask Senator Hairplugs. It was his hallucination.

  53. Patrick says:

    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.

  54. 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.

  55. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    Obama’s innate asshole-ness keeps shining through.

    Oh, yea, this is gonna be fun.

  56. Dan Collins says:

    Hezbollah is the 57th state, Richard.

  57. Mossberg500 says:

    I think Hezbollah holds their meetings at Katie’s restaurant in Scranton! YMMV!

  58. cranky-d says:

    Where is my free gas, Dickie? You owe me, bitch!

  59. Dan Collins says:

    Really, Richard? How much did The One’s Geek Temple with Dork columns cost?

  60. Dan Collins says:

    Oh, yeah, and that turning off the AVS thing and accepting foreign donations and donations from non-citizens? Uncool, man. Money laundering.

  61. Dan Collins says:

    You’re going to mau-mau us, and not consider the $600 million Man?

  62. Patrick says:

    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.

  63. cranky-d says:

    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!

  64. 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.”

  65. Old Dad says:

    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.

  66. Mossberg500 says:

    Dickie’s meme shall not be infringed!

  67. “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.

  68. SarahW says:

    #61. Super uncool. Like it ought to be illegal if it isn’t already, for a candidate to do that.

  69. Mossberg500 says:

    Dickie, one problem, Hezbollah is still there! They were never kicked out!

  70. As I take it, Old Dad, the use of the sobriquet indicates a desire on the part of the PW wags to suck it.

  71. Jeff G. says:

    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.

  72. 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.

  73. Dan Collins says:

    You know what’s funny, Richard? How little respect you have for the truth.

  74. If Fox News reports it, Dan, it is the Truth.

  75. Dan Collins says:

    Sorry, Richard. That’s never cut it around here. And neither do you.

  76. cranky-d says:

    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.

  77. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    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.

  78. Rich Cox says:

    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….

  79. cranky-d says:

    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.

  80. Old Dad says:

    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

  81. SarahW says:

    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?

  82. SarahW says:

    “he has no idea how to be self-deprecating”

    Yes. That’s it exactly.

  83. urthshu says:

    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.

  84. I thought the jab at the seance-goers was funny, but I don’t believe Jesus played with dinosaurs.

  85. sears poncho says:

    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.

  86. thor says:

    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.

  87. dre says:

    O! Temple of Cards collapsing?

    Not that this wasn’t expected. The recent passage of California’s Proposition 8 has exposed some of the latent racism of many within the LGBT community—instigated in part by many in the e-telligentsia such as proto-racist Andrew Sullivan and columnist Dan Savage. Unfortunately the “blame the blacks” meme is being commonly accepted by some so-called “progressive” gay activists. A number of Rod 2.0 and Jasmyne Cannick readers report being subjected to taunts, threats and racist abuse at last night’s marriage equality rally in Los Angeles.

    Geoffrey, a student at UCLA and regular Rod 2.0 reader, joined the massive protest outside the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Westwood. Geoffrey was called the n-word at least twice.

    It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks. YOU NIGGER, one man shouted at men. If your people want to call me a FAGGOT, I will call you a nigger. Someone else said same thing to me on the next block near the temple…me and my friend were walking, he is also gay but Korean, and a young WeHo clone said after last night the niggers better not come to West Hollywood if they knew what was BEST for them.

  88. cranky-d says:

    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.

  89. Daily Show said Palin is so dumb she thinks the capitol of China is Chinatown. That was unsourced.

  90. cranky-d says:

    I imagine that was Richard again at 85 and 87, but I really don’t know. I don’t care, either.

    Where’s my free gas, bitch!?

  91. Dan Collins says:

    Let’s meet up at Katie’s Diner in Scranton, and talk this out

  95. JHoward says:

    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?

  96. N. O'Brain says:

    “Comment by Jeff G. on 11/7 @ 8:00 pm #

    Progressive.

    Democrat.

    Whoops.

  97. Alaska re-elected convicted felon Ted Stevens. What a paradise!

  98. cranky-d says:

    Richard’s point is that he is a tool. He is making it quite well.

  99. B Moe says:

    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?

  100. Rusty says:

    So far,Richard, you’ve shown your IQ to be floating around 100.

    Oh.Yeah.

    “Get me my free gas, bitch.”

  101. N. O'Brain says:

    “Comment by B Moe on 11/7 @ 9:12 pm #

    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?”

    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.

  102. N. O'Brain says:

    “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?

  103. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    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.

  104. Dan Collins says:

    Yeah. Alaska’s a lot more corrupt than Chicago.

  105. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    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.

  106. Mossberg500 says:

    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

  107. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    And for O! to be disrespectful to Nancy Reagan? What a fucking tool. Yep, the kids like this guy.

  108. Pretty Boy Pablo says:

    The next four years are going to be hard for you, Jeff…

    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.

    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.

  121. TmjUtah says:

    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.

  125. lee says:

    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.

  137. Bob Reed says:

    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…

    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.

  142. Rich Cox says:

    HP: re second nature and all that shit.

    It was the second time today he shit his drawers.

  143. 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.

    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?

  174. Bob Reed says:

    Richard Bennet,

    I can think of, oh, about 600 million things that went a long way towards Glibama buying winning 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

    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.

  212. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    (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.)

  213. Mossberg500 says:

    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

  214. Mossberg500 says:

    Scratching my nads is a necessity, not an interest. Do hobbies itch? If they do, then I’ll concede that point.

  215. Pretty Boy Pablo says:

    I like Larry Summers.

    How can Baracky even think of validating a bigot so reprehensible that he needed to be run out of Hahhvad?

  216. Jeff G. says:

    Got a link, percy?

  217. Sdferr says:

    Here you go Jeff. Lilla in WSJ “The Perils of Populism”.

  218. ThomasD says:

    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.

  219. Mike LaRoche says:

    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

  220. Percy Dovetonsils says:

    Thanks, Sdferr. Your Google-fu is superior to mine.

  221. Sdferr says:

    Nah, percy, I just happened to be reading the thing at the time, thanks to you.

  222. […] SBP’s comment on Jeff’s “Good Man” post inspired this one. […]

    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 …….

  225. J. Peden says:

    Lilla:

    Sarah Palin, whose ignorance, provinciality and populist demagoguery represent everything older conservative thinkers once stood against?

    Sounds like Lilla is vying for a protein wisdom troll slot.

  226. Tony LaVanway says:

    I don’t have a car.
    I still want my gas!
    Im gonna sell it,for Profit!
    Because,i just roll that way.

    Greetings:

    Shouldn’t public insults require public apologies?

  228. Jeff G. says:

    RACIST! HIGH TECH LYNCHING!!!1!

  229. Carin says:

    Now you can go back to whatever you were doing

    Ok dick Dick.

  230. J. Peden says:

    Shouldn’t public insults require public apologies?

    Not since Progressivism took over White Supremism.

  231. Cave Bear says:

    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…

  232. J. Peden says:

    the Magic Negro has no class…

    Rejoice, for the Communist Utopia is at hand!

    “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?

    Saudi Arabia
    Saudi Arabia,was the correct answer.

    Beaners?

  238. Mars vs Hollywood says:

    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.

  239. denise says:

    This is not the Barack Obama I thought I knew. {{line stolen from my husband}}

  240. mindlesley says:

    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.

  241. Patterico says:

    Pablo suggested I post this again:

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    I READILY ADMIT TO THREATENING TO BEAT CERTAIN PEOPLE’S ASSES. And you know what? I’d still do it to most of them if we ever met up. So?

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    Scott Jacobs is one of those guys I mentioned that if I ever met him in person, I’d leave him in a heap, mewling like a baby pussy.

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    Hey, listen: Doc Weasel is a cover band. The guy who runs their site, Kenny, is a 140lb unpaid roadie and all around lackey living at home with mom, posting amateur porn and tugging at his own little doc weasel. If I ever run into him, I’ll break him like a toothpick.

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    Note that I said if I ever ran across some of these people, I’d have no problem — and feel no guilt — about snapping their ACL.

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    As I said earlier, why the fuck should I be embarrassed about telling people who’ve said some vile things to me that I’d be happy to meet up with them in person, where I’d give them the opportunity to say those same vile things directly to my face. Just before I broke their fucking ankles?

    Jeff Goldstein’s threat of violence:

    I’ve probably gotten into it with about a half dozen people over the years, some of whom if I ran into them in the street I would beat their ass without hesitation.

    From: Jeff Goldstein: Arguing “On Point” — With Threats of Violence.

    Thanks to Pablo for the suggestion. It’s a good one. Sorta makes it clear who wrote this post.
