Ray Andrus at 12:12am March 7
Lucas never classified him.

Sherry Reding-Hunter at 12:12am March 7
a dog…. i’m certain, our late dog looked a lot like yoda

Mike LaRoche at 12:12am March 7
What creature Yoda was? A question to baffle the smartest of men, that is.

Dan Collins at 12:14am March 7
I think he was a Suigenerian.

Doug TenNapel at 12:14am March 7
He was a Miles Davis.

Irene Whiteside at 12:14am March 7
“It has never been stated in any media”, is what my daughter tells me. He was a Jedi knight, tho…..but still…not sure what you would liken him to.

Doug Huchteman at 12:15am March 7
Helen Thomas’s cousin?

Mike LaRoche at 12:15am March 7
Nah, too young.

Angie Roemeling Henderson at 12:16am March 7
well i am guessing a tod or frog of some sort, he lived in the swamp? I never knew exatly either ???? he was green, hmmmm, kremmy’s cousin?

Mike LaRoche at 12:16am March 7
Being green, easy it is not.

Irene Whiteside at 12:17am March 7
….lose the ears, and it kinda looks like my 94 yr old mom….:-)

Dan Collins at 12:17am March 7
Honestly, I think he was just a damned hallucination, but by all means classify him if it makes you feel better.

Wild Phil at 12:19am March 7
Yoda was a Mugwamp

Mike LaRoche at 12:20am March 7
More of a Stalwart to me, he seemed.

Tony Andrews at 12:20am March 7
mmmmmmmm…debate great…provoking thought it is!

Irene Whiteside at 12:21am March 7
Turning into one, Mike is.

Teresa Sousa at 12:21am March 7
I don’t really know but he was so ugly he was kinda cute. I’ll have to ask my son tomorrow. He’s the Star Wars expert around here.

Dan Collins at 12:21am March 7
I don’t know why you’re making such a big deal about this anyway, Kevin. I mean, we’re living in a post-racial society now, right?

Mike LaRoche at 12:22am March 7
Most perceptive, Irene is. :)

Mike LaRoche at 12:22am March 7
We can, yes?

Irene Whiteside at 12:23am March 7
LOL!!!

Angie Roemeling Henderson at 12:24am March 7
dan sometimes its nice to get away from the real worl… Shoot lets play!!!!

Dan Collins at 12:25am March 7
Geez, dude, just let it go, all right? All I know is that the little dude was full of wisdom and stuff because he was like from a totally different culture, man.

He would have made an excellent president.

Mike LaRoche at 12:26am March 7
Makes more sense than Joe Biden, Yoda does.

Dan Collins at 12:27am March 7
Christ. Talk about making a big deal out of nothing.

Susan Ludwig Brothers at 12:27am March 7
I googled Yoda and it describes him as a protagonist~Main Character~But does not explain anything I found except that he is a Jedi Master~His species in the movie is unknown

Kevin McCullough at 12:29am March 7
Dan… what gives… I asked the question. I like reading the answers and appreciate the time people put in to making them.

Lighten up dude…

    Given this position and this admission I would say Obama is a lot worse than an idiot, he is dangerous.

    http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2549

    As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.” A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: “Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?”

    In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: “Spike, if you’re going to do that, let’s complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out.”

    In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh’s mocking take on the NAACP, a group with a 90-year commitment to nonviolence: “The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”

    When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the “Movin’ On Up” theme song from TV’s Jeffersons when he mentioned her. Limbaugh sometimes still uses mock dialect — substituting “ax” for “ask”– when discussing black leaders.

    Such quotes and antics — many compiled by Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) for our 1995 book — offer a whiff of Limbaugh’s racial sensibility. So does his claim that racism in America “is fueled primarily by the rantings and ravings” of people like Jesse Jackson. Or his ugly reference two years ago to the father of Madonna’s first child, a Latino, as “a gang member-type guy” — an individual with no gang background.
    […]
    Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard, Limbaugh responded: “They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell cares?”

    He’s not a racist, he’s just a misunderstood drug addled sex tourist.

  8. yes, sooooo racist he makes a black dude screen his calls.

    honk-shoo

  9. sorry, sorry, figured that since I’m on mile twelve, I might chase a bunny.

  10. Dan Collins says:

    I haven’t sat in Rush Limbaugh’s pew for 20 years, he didn’t perform my marriage, and I am not running for president.

  11. router says:

    He’s not a racist, he’s just a misunderstood drug addled sex tourist.

    yea well as rev wright says and the pedophile priest flaeger say “god damn america”

  12. oh, but Dan, AJB thinks we all look alike.

  13. router says:

    America “is fueled primarily by the rantings and ravings” of people like Jesse Jackson.

    alsharpton, algore, alquaeda

  14. Sdferr says:

    Wait a minute, we don’t?

  15. Pablo says:

    I’d love to respond to AJB and his …heh… “FAIR” cut and paste, but that would be pointless as he doesn’t, and never has had the stones to come back.

    So, let me just say “Blow me, drive by”.

    Good night and good luck.

  16. router says:

    maybe we need hillary to tell us about the reset button? or if giving a blind man a DVD is a good idea?

  17. router says:

    blow me is the proper response.

  18. Joe says:

    AJB–what no comment about Donovan McNabb? Of course McNabb is a loser despite his race.

  19. McGehee says:

    Obama is an idiot.

    I said it, and I mean it. Now: what do I mean?

    What you mean is, you owe an apology to all idiot-Americans.

  20. Joe says:

    And AJB, what about the “Magic Negro” comment? You are really slipping.

  21. cynn says:

    Jesus, people. I for one want Obama to fail to fail. And failing that, success! Woot! Get over yourselves; I sure don’t dispute the primacy of intital intention. Rush Limbaugh may be a conservative bloated Joan Rivers, but I sure don’t give him the power to subvert discourse. Find something more immediate.

  22. Sdferr says:

    I’m kinda getting off on the harsh over there at JOM.

    It’s a refreshing change from all the fucking civility over here.

    Ballard is hoping “the commie bastard doesn’t get out of bed one day.” Soylent Red says, “I want him driven from office in disgrace. Preferably on Rail Force 1, in a snappy new suit of tar and feathers.”

    Damn that Limbaugh and his acolytes.

  23. Darleen says:

    AJB

    I would tread carefully trying to stick the “drug addled” label on someone who is no longer addicted given Obama’s admitted background.

  24. router says:

    Find something more immediate.

    axs obama’s advisers and media fiends

  25. McGehee says:

    Find something more immediate.

    PANCAKES!

  26. Joe says:

    I denounce us all as racists. And as Nazis too. There it is said, again.

    But both Obama and Rush share an almost forbidden love of the devil’s weed. Just Rush likes his rolled in great big spliefs and Obama likes the smaller ones (than he sneaks when Michelle is not around).

  27. Adriane says:

    I’ve got … Obama is an idiot. Idiots indulge in childish thinking. Childish pursuits include playing with toys. George Lucas funded his movie by maintaining the licensing rights on toys. One of those toys was the character Yoda.

    QED: Obama is really a Toy Yoda.

    This does explain the car czar proposal …

  28. router says:

    Just Rush likes his rolled in great big spliefs

    that’s nice: your opinion is a drug addled thing. axs O about his opinion and here’s a razor and mirror to formulate it

  29. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    If AJB isn’t the most worthless of all of Jeff’s trolls, I am not sure who is. A hit and run pussy of epic proportions. BTW, Obama is an idiot. Thanks for your time.

  30. DarthRove says:

    Dan, if you could expand your comment by about 96 words, and be less offensive about it, the world would be a better place.

    And THEN you’ll get your fookin’ unicorn, OK?

  31. geoffb says:

    Considering the links in #1 by Joe and #9 by router, I think it would be a superb idea for President Obama to have a Summit Meeting with the leadership of the Taliban.

    Do it right at the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Start with a discussion of religion and it’s importance to a leader in governance today.

    Bring Hillary to add that “smart power” dimension, I’m sure she could find something appropriate to wear and bring a special gift or two. Biden could also add immensely to the “smart” in “smart power”. His sure grasp of the lesser obvious is impressive.

    Pelosi and Reid, the power duo, they could never be left out of such a historic meeting. Nancy already has modeled the perfect outfit on her visit to Assad. She and Harry could explain the cultural benefits they send to the world with the message “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas and the “Breasts not Bombs” ladies of her San Fran milieu. The Mullahs are sure to understand the significance of the Las Vegas and Bay area culture to the world.

    Lastly since the elders are so respected in that part of the world, Sen. Robert Byrd can bring his weighty gravitas to the proceedings with stories about his beloved Billy. Sure to bring tears to everyone’s eyes.

    I predict that such a meeting would have long lasting and positive effects for the entire planet.

  32. panther girl says:

    Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest.

    What a big whiny baby! Wasn’t he complaining on the campaign about how tiring it was? Who knew being president would involve even more energy than kissing babies? And, anyhow, don’t they have a zillion staff at the White House, some of whom must be in charge of protocols re: gift-giving and such. Big whiny baby.

  33. panther girl says:

    As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: “Take that bone out of your nose and call me back.”

    This is relevant but Michelle’s thesis at Princeton (1985), discussed on a previous thread, isn’t? Oh my! It looks like the rules keep changing. Imagine my surprise!

  34. Ya’ll honkies have no idea that you’re all part of The Plan.

    So, y’know, if we’re gonna be vilified no matter what we do, why give a tinker’s damn what anyone thinks?

    Jeff is EXACTLY right to defend language and resist LOUDLY any and all attempts to alter meaning. Before and above Liberty is Language.

    Evil creates nothing, but gains its power through distortion. Allowing one’s opposition to distort and sow confusion and seek to appease it for civility’s sake is in the end is to seek ruin.

  35. Rick Ballard says:

    Sdfer,

    Cut and paste seems to be a bit difficult for you. What I wrote at JOM was “I hope the commie bastard fails to get out of bed.” Your “interpretation” fits into what Jeff is fighting. The addition of “one day” ascribes an intent which was not implied. I hope the commie bastard stays in bed every day. At least until he sobers up, which, given the normal load he appears to be taking on, would be around 3-5PM.

    I do not care for revision and extension of my remarks enclosed in quotation marks. It is careless and dishonest to do so.

  36. Sdferr says:

    O, you’re right Rick, my bad in overhasty transcription (I think I relied on memory rather than C & P for that one). Apologies. Still, as you say, let him stay in bed.

  37. Rick Ballard says:

    Accepted. At least you spelled my name right, which is more than I managed. For which I apologize.

  38. Sdferr says:

    It’s funny I should get caught in such an error, particularly with such genuinely delicate subject matter as the thrust of my error, since I’ve actually made a habit of being more careful than that by simply using cut and paste as much as is practicable. What a fuck up, honest to god. I feel an idiot. [shakes head in wonder at own stupidity] But then, I am an idiot.

  39. Rusty says:

    #35
    Good. He’s caused me to lose enough sleep. Self important jug eared shithead. He can’t fail fast enough.

  40. Rick Ballard says:

    Nah, Patterico’s an idiot. He believes himself a rhetorician when he doesn’t appear to have even a firm grasp of sophistry. I knew that letting the trivium slip out of the primary curriculum would have ill effects.

  41. Joe says:

    Here is something less controversal.

    Stuff white people like.

    Stuff black people like.

    Shouldn’t Obama combine the best of both worlds? How did he fuck this up?

  42. ironpacker says:

    Yes, Mr. Obama is an idiot. Even worse he has chosen a cabinet of idiots, with the exception of the Sec. Def., to advise him. His economic decisions and foreign policy blunders will damage the country possibly beyond repair. I want him to fail. In fact, I want his name to become the first synonym for failure listed in a thesaurus.

  43. Sdferr says:

    More spamming Joe. Really, don’t.

  44. Mikey NTH says:

    AJB is a chicken commenter. Hey chicken, go ask Rush about his racism – if you’ve got the stones to do it.

    Oh – and Obama is an idiot, and he doesn’t realize he’s an idiot.
    “I didn’t mean to snub the Brits! It’s just I am so tired from being so overwhelmed by everything I couldn’t think straight!”

    Yeah, that excuse is better than the original, sure it is. President Homer ‘Fragile Flower’ Obama.

  45. OCBill says:

    If you remember that Star Wars took place a “long time ago”, then there’s a good chance that Yoda is really Helen Thomas when she was still young and hot (relatively speaking).
