I wonder whether Obama’s Aunt Zeituni’s being taken care of.
The other person, you’ve probably never heard about. Save your outrage for Wiggers.
Speaking of human rights issues–dingoes ate my baby. Reprise.

I wonder why Aunt Zeituni is still here?
Someone needs to ask Obama that at his next town hall meeting…
But if Booooooooosh! had been involved in a similarly embarrasing situation..?
It would be question 1 at every press conference and white house briefing…
When I saw the title, “A Tale of Two Immigrants” I thought it might be a compare and contrast of the treatment of Sotomayor and Estrada.
Racist sexist homophobic murderers.
That Prince Harry gaywad should do something about his fascist loser country instead of running around popping balloons with his ass I think.
What’s a Wigger?
But Dan, that Iraqi dude is known to associate with confirmed murderers and rapists, aka the Marines, whereas Aunt Zeituni is contributing to the Beautiful Rainbow Tapestry of Diverse America.
Ask Robert Byrd (Democrat – KKK)
More detail in the Telegraph about the UK mother/baby case link.
The mother, Sarah Pullen, is pictured. There was an initial assessment now contested, that the mother had learning disabilities that would interfere with saftety of her premature baby, who did require operations and complex care.
She was appointed an attorney when she was found to be unable to keep up with legal issues and developments, a finding she is now contesting.
The difficulty is the court will not revoke decisions made on her behalf by her counsel, who did not challenge adoption proceedings. The ball was set rolling by him and now that she is judged competent by another expert, they are unwilling to undo that appointed attorney’s decisions.
It would be a shame to steamroll a competent mother away from her own baby and I hope she is given a proper hearing.
What’s a Wigger?
Ask Robert Byrd (Democrat – KKK)
He says he doesn’t remember any more. Vote Obama.
So what’s a Wigger?
You know Elvis Costello’s “Oliver’s Army,” Sammy? Go read or listen to the lyrics.
But it’s also a reference to the GITMO detainees, Uighurs, that the Justice Department did a 180 on.
Wiggers
Isn’t it fun when the trolls play the intentionally obtuse card?
Ah, Uighurs. I know what that is. Why does Dan keep saying Wiggers?
Just guessing Sammy but it could be so folks like you will ask, “Why does Dan keep saying wiggers?”
Why would Dan want that?
Something about the hypocrisy of not being able to close down GITMO, because nobody in Congress wants them released in their territory, even though they’re not at all dangerous and have been held unconscionably.
They are just peaceful little splodeydopes, Dan. They were peace lovin’ goat fuckers prior to Bush’s illegal war of aggression and for oil.
I denounce myself.
Thanks. I was hoping you would, JD. How was dinner at that place named after the Portuguese guitarist, anyway?
The people held in Gitmo are Uighurs. You said Wiggers. Why?
Do you know how to keep a moron in suspense, Sambot?
To demonstrate what happens when one values the symbol more than what it represents.
I ate my body weight in dead animals, Dan. It was a religious experience.
Why is Teh One continuing on with Bush’s immoral and illegal policies?
Huh? I don’t get it. What symbol? What does it represent? I still don’t see why you write Wiggers. You’re obviously not afraid to type, so could you spell it out for me?
“Huh? I don’t get it.”
Soooprise soooprise soooprise.
Let me spell it out for you, Sammy. If I type “Wiggers”, I’m obviously racist, because of the verbal association. If Obama and the Justice Department, and many members of Congress, state that these are innocents who’ve been abused in GITMO, deprived of their rights, but are unwilling to provide them sanctuary in the United States, that’s less awful than a pun.
See how that works?
Keep running into the wall at full speed, Sammy, you are making Dan’s point everytime you do.
Ok, so there’s two things here. You’re using Wiggers – a racial slur – to bait someone into calling you a racist. At that point you can respond with fake outrage.
My understanding of the position is that, from the perspective of a threat to the US, these are innocents who’ve been abused in GITMO, and deprived of their rights. Assuming that’s true, they aren’t automatically entitled to US citizenship as a consolation prize. I believe that’s the administration’s position.
Personally, I don’t have an enormous problem sending them to China, as they’re Chinese citizens. The fact that the Uighurs are not excited about that option, because they were training to commit terrorism against China, isn’t really my problem.
Your “understanding” is an overly broad interpretation of what people commonly associate with actual understanding.
these are innocents who’ve been abused in GITMO
“Abused” how?
Be specific, Sambot.
But I don’t understand Sammy,
Explain how wiggers is a racial slur…
I mean, it refers to, you know, white folks; unless I’m mistaken…
And we all know that white folks can never/b> be victims of racism…
They’re not Chinese citizens. They were battlefield detainees from Afghanistan.
I’m not going to respond with outrage; but I will respond that they’re being treated as symbols rather than as human beings. The tokenism is on the part of the left, in this instance. The gap between the administration’s rhetoric and its pragmatism is on fair display for everyone to see, in this and many other instances.
I don’t know what else to say about it. I think that it’s realistic to say that they can’t be released into the US . . . because of the, um, you know, terrorism.
I am worried how Jeff is not here so persistently.
hf, I’m going to take a flyer and guess that Jeff has an opportunity at this moment to do something financially important for his family, and that is why he’s been gone so much.
As I said, Dan, they were innocent peace lovin’ goat fuckers before the evil Zionist US military removed them from the battlefield. Clearly, they only want to be splodeydopes for Chinese infidels, that is why they were in Afghanistan.
True enough, JD, but the archetypal Wigger is certainly Disco Stu.
Rather OT:
a really nice piece on Bill Buckley by Brookhiser in today’s WSJ online.
Yeah, I hear you HF. Some big doings recently, would have thought he’d darken the door.
Ah, thanks so much for pointing that out. Alex, I’ll take pejorative slang terms for $200.
Another good point. I’ll retract “abused” and substitute in “held as political prisoners”.
And none of those progressive Dems can find it in his heart to welcome the political prisoners into his bailiwick? Terrible. Tsk, tsk.
“held as political prisoners” is the new euphemism for training with AQ in Afghanistan? Who knew?
They’re not mutually exclusive terms. I believe they’re both.
Propose that they be released in the districts of any member of Congress who said they were innocent and abused. Let said members of Congress explain why this is not acceptable.
substitute in “held as political prisonersâ€.
Combatants captured out of uniform are “political prisoners”?
According to whom?
Not the Geneva Conventions, that’s for sure.
That’s great news I think. I will patiently await his return.
#33: excellent news, Dan.
Well, they’re not convicted of anything and held solely at the discretion of the president. I’m not sure what else you’d call it.
Ugh! You guys don’t understand the strategy, which is to forward the minor objections to the characterization first, then, once your opponent commits to an extremist definition, bring in the big stick. Always keep the big stick in reserve.
#44
Thanks.
Sammy,
You attempt at a glib and pithy response was charming and all, but you still didn’t answer the quetion…
How is wigger a racial slur..?
Well, they’re not convicted of anything
And Sammy’s ignorance appears yet again.
There are two possibilities under international law, Sammy, and neither one involves “convicting” them of anything.
1) They’re unlawful combatants, captured while under arms without wearing unforms or insignia. They’re not entitled to a trial of any sort, and can in fact be summarily executed. They *may* be given a military trial, but there’s no requirement for such. Contrary to popular belief, the “out of uniform” thing isn’t something that Bush invented.
2) They’re legitimate POWs, in which case it is illegal to put them on trial under the Geneva Conventions. They can, however, be held until the cessation of hostilities. Have the hostilities ceased, Sambot? Hint: no, they haven’t.
Works for Mumia.
Thanks for the info Dan,
It’s nice to hear that things may be looking up for Jay-Gee
In this case, the uniform issue is immaterial. They admit to having served and trained with al’Qaeda, an organization that violates the laws of war as policy.
Assertions that the Uighur detainees at GTMO aren’t threats to the US and only out to seek to harm China are, to put it bluntly, so much made up crap.
Furthermore, if it is proposed that they pose no threat to the US such that they should be released into our society, what greater threat do they pose to Denmark, Norway, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc. through the list of NATO? Yet these nations will not take them (though Albania, of all places, took five some time back).
Say Spammy, if they had been fighting in uniform on behalf of some state when captured, would they be released now, or held without charge indefinitely until the end of the war?
After the war endended and said soldiers were released, would they be highly likely to continue violent attacks on the United States and its allies, or would they go home and get on with their lives?
In fact they were captured while fighting on a battlefield on behalf of no state, in no uniform. Does that protect them from being held? Are they more free to go than a POW?
They are neither fish nor fowl, neither soldier nor common criminal. They aligned themselves with a non-state group that has launched large-scale attacks on the United States. This is the situation they have chosen for themselves.
So is Sammy saying that Obama is abusing detainees at Gitmo?
Sammy, why are you hatin’ on the Obama-man?
OK, Sammy, let me squeeze all the juice out for you. It’s a “joke” (I’m sure you’ve heard of the concept) on several levels.
Level 1: the fact that it’s a joke at all, because of course us wingnutz are incapable of humor.
Level 2: “Wigger” is actually a fair phonetic approximation of “Uighur”, as pronounced by a native English speaker. It’s fairly obvious that if you replace the initial consonant with a nasal, you get something unacceptable in “civilized discourse”. Thus the strain to say “oooeygur”, at which you should laugh and laugh.
Level 3: The individuals so designated were “detained” on the battlefield by US troops, who considered them “unlawful combatants”. The proper disposal of unlawful combatants under the Geneva Convention is to shoot them out of hand, so pious declarations that they deserve “due process” are mealy-mouthed ways of accusing US troops of war crimes, meaning that anyone making such declaration(s) while pretending to “support the troops” is a lying fuck.
Level 4: The fact that the pious declarers are also unanimous in not wanting them turned loose here reveals that the PDs are objectifying the Uighurs in exactly the same way that users of the nasal initial consonant objectify black people — they are of no interest whatever as people, only as something to beat political opponents in the head with, which does not fully accord with the rest of the Peace Love and Brotherhood message.
There are a couple of other, lesser connotations involved, but that’ll do to advance your understanding somewhat.
Regards,
Ric
Until they’re free!
Obama, close the Guantanamo Bay prison like you promised! We’re counting on you! The detainees are in our thoughts every day! We shall demonstrate wearing hoods and orange jumpsuits! We shall scream that you are a fascist!
Until they’re free!
Really? Do you suppose these al-Qaeda trained soulus/soldiers would be a threat to US/NATO/Afghan troops in Afghanistan? Because that’s pretty much the point of taking prisoners in combat..to get and keep them out of the fight.
Ya know, it’s arguable that releasing the Uighur jihadis would, itself, be a crime against humanity.
We used to call them “Prisoners of War”. But let’s just say they’re Detainees for the Prevention of Man Caused Disasters.
Legally, they’re nothing. They placed themselves outside the law by their associations and actions, and are not entitled to any of its protections. If you want us to treat them any other way, then you’d damned well be prepared to explain why we should abandon the Geneva Conventions.
It’s not hilarious that they’re in this legal limbo, you know, because apparently they are human beings. It just tells you who Congress is that nobody who abjured Booooooosh is willing to come forward and accept responsibility.
They have to go.
I propose that Sammy and his friends take in these detainees on a student exchange program, house and feed them and quilt rainbow blankets with them. Since Sammy thinks they are innocent little puppies, there should be no problem.
What say you Sammy?
And while you’re at it Sammy,
I’m still waitin’ to hear how wigger is a racial slur…
I hear John Kerry has a few spare rooms on his place.
So does McCain, for that matter.
Comment by Ric Locke on 6/1 @ 1:27 pm #
That was a thing of beauty, Ric.
Bob, let’s put that aside for one moment. Now then, Sammy: if it’s so hard for the government to decide whether or not these detainees represent a danger, imagine what it’s like to be a soldier in a combat zone.
Compassion? Yes? No?
I propose that Sammy and his friends take in these detainees
I would be looking forward to the YouTube videos with much interest.
SBP,
NBC could make it a reality show, but I suspect even they know the outcome (while not admitting it) that the show would only last one episode before the coroner is called to remove all the victims of man-caused disasters.
Aw shucks, that’s funny! But I’m not sure why you’d write it as Wigger, beyond race baiting.
I think you can execute them upon capture. I’m not sure you can pull them out of the brig 7 years later and just put a bullet in their head. I also don’t think if our military code lets soldiers execute people who’ve surrendered, but I’ll admit, I don’t really know.
I also don’t know if these guys were pointing guns at our soldiers, or playing cards, at the time of their capture.
I also believe our supreme court ruled that they were entitled to access the US legal system.
Yeah! Just look at those Uighurs that Albania took! They’re a bunch of…US…people…killing…fuck’n…terrorizing…psychopaths, every one!
Like I said, send them home to China.
I also don’t know if these guys were pointing guns at our soldiers, or playing cards
So you think U.S. military personnel went to the trouble of capturing these innocent card-players, shipping them half-way around the world, and assuming the expense and general PITA-ness of guarding them full-time why, exactly? A joke? Sadism? What?
Take your time.
Yeah, that’s how all those U.S. soldiers and civilians were killed, Al Queda and Taliban operatives playing cards.
That’s the ticket.
Dan (#67) — You, like Sammy, give the military too little credit.
Take the average arrest, right here in the US. The cop collars the suspect, the paddy wagon picks him up, the jailer checks him in; the next time anybody’s going to ask why he’s there is when he appears in court.
Contrast the military procedure. A couple of grunts capture the guy and bring him to the sergeant, who wants to know why it’s worthwhile to detail guards to keep him around. The lieutenant in charge of the company has the same question, and is going to look into it closely because he’s going to be short a couple people (the guards) in the next action — and because he’s got to write a report on how and why the captive came to be there. Very likely he’ll call in the first grunts, plus anybody else who knows anything about the situation, to confirm that this trip is really necessary.
The major’s going to review that report, and if there’s anything suspicious in it he is gonna have a chat with Lt. Hooah and possibly with the grunts and their sergeant. Then the matter gets passed along to Command, where the colonel and his staff look it over, wondering why they need to provide room&board to this git. Their report gets passed to the General, who gets to decide whether or not to put J. Normal Wraphead on the plane for Cuba — which comes out of his budget, so he has an incentive to look the matter on with some care; and, like all before him, he always has the option of calling anybody below him in the chain to get clarification.
The point of all that is that the “due process” objection is bullshit. Anybody at Gitmo has had his case reviewed no fewer than four times, possibly six, by people with the power to let him go and an incentive to do so because keeping him is costing them big-time. There is hardly a prisoner anywhere in the United States who’s had as much “due process” as those guys.
Regards,
Ric
I thought a decent number of the people in Gitmo were captured and handed over to us.
But the lawyers didn’t get their cut!
Ric (#73)
Unless, at some point, someone remembered those CIA guys who said, “Call us if you have anyone who might have info on Bin Laden.” So they call the CIA guys who say, “No problem, we’ll take these guys off your hands. Just help me get the hood over their head, and get’em strapped down in the C130.”
And in the case of these Uighars, they figured out pretty quickly that they weren’t particularly threatening or useful, but figuring out how to get those kind of people out of Gitmo wasn’t a terribly high priority.
He’s got a point, Ric — these days that’s what “due process” has come to mean: process the revenue so the lawyers can pay their Bar Association dues.
“Like I said, send them home to China.”
Where they’d be tortured to death.
Real torture, not the San Francisco syntho sort leftists like to rant on about.
Why do you hate little brown people so?
The irony is, if we just shot them on the battlefield, as is our right under the geneva convention, we’d avoid all of these problems. Well, except the moaning from Harry Reid and the calls of “murderers” from Kerry and Murtha.
Maybe they were cheating at cards so we took them captive. Ever tried to cheat a marine at cards ? It never ends well.
Naw. They’d be tortured until they tell the Chicoms who helped them get out of the country. Then they’d be put down with a shot to the back of the head.
Then their surviving family members would get the bill for the ammunition used.
Hey, they left China of their own volition to train in an Al-Qaeda camp and pick up “techniques” to use back home. The consequences of that choice are not the concern of my tax dollars.
I thought a decent number of the people in Gitmo were captured and handed over to us.
And you think the alleged fact that these guys are “innocent” has escaped the military for several years (again, causing them to go to no end of expense and general PITA-ness) why, exactly? Incompetence? Sadism? What?
LOL!
figuring out how to get those kind of people out of Gitmo wasn’t a terribly high priority.
Yes, because there’s nothing soldiers like better than guard duty, and there’s nothing the military likes more than spending lots of money and tying up lots of people just to keep “innocent” Uighurs behind bars.
Do you even bother to think before you post, Sammy?
Now, I realize that if you buy into the Evil Empire AmeriKKKa POV bullshit espoused by so many of your fellow travelers, the military-as-Satan viewpoint might make sense, but you don’t strike me as being quite THAT moronic.
Well, under Booosh, I think you can attribute leaving them in Gitmo to a certain, how you say, WhoGivesAFuck-edness. And the fact that it would require effort (on the part of the administration) to extract them vs. effort (on the part of some grunts) to feed them.
Plus, Booosh didn’t want to hear the incessant whining from those railing against the injustice of sending them to back to the country, you know, that they’re citizens of. Plus the wingnuts on the right, wide eyed and hands waving, saying, “They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs.”
Sorry to muddy the waters Dan,
Living in mostly black neighborhoods my whole life, and my time at the Navy-a diverse organization indeed, well, let’s just say the whole identity politics thing gets my nose open in a hurry…
Bullshit.
The General and his staff have a note from CIA about “special interest prisoners”. Very likely that note’s been passed down to Col. Manley and his staff, and included in Lt. Cool’s briefing before the company set out on the sweep. So the f* what? — it’s just another item in the review that decides whether that particular git is worth the resources to take him prisoner. The <sneer>suspect</sneer> was still apprehended by the military, and kept in military custody all the way up the line, with all the case reviews I described — and everybody in the chain has a vested interest in not taking prisoners, because prisoners are expensive. They have to be guarded, by guards, who are as much out of action as if they’d been shot; they have to be kept in compounds surrounded by barbed wire and other fencing, provided with housing, and fed regularly, all out of stuff that had to be transported in at enormous expense, both in monetary cost and in displacement of stuff the combat troops needed but didn’t get because prisoner support had to be provided.
So you don’t know what you’re talking about, and filled in the blank by drawing on your own bigotry and stereotypical assumptions. Then you’re surprised as all Hell when it leads you to more and more uncomfortable and far-fetched conclusions.
Regards,
Ric
Sorry, I thought that the whole point of commander-in-chief is that Boosh gets to say, “Build me a goddamn prison and guard these goddamn mother fucking terrorists.” And the military says, “Sir, yes sir, sir!”
You’re saying, it couldn’t happen, because someone in the military would whine, “Do we reeeealy have toooo? I haaaaate guard duuuuty”
Something tells me that, “OMFG! Chinese are training in Al-Qaeda camps!” Would be a little attention -getting.
Haven’t y’all figured out that sammah has no interest in actual debate? It is a verbose actus. Nothing more. Mock and scorn.
This thread is a textbook example of why arguing with someone like Sammy serves no useful purpose.
It starts off seeming reasonable enough, but quickly devolves to arguing with childish caricatures in its head, as witnessed in its devolution above.
I dunno, Ric, maybe it’s just a matter of preference but I prefer the Peace Love and Brotherhood type of objectification to the fuck-you-nigger objectification of your ruralite brethren.
Then get the kibbeh and hummus ready, Thor. We’ll have Khalid Sheikh Mohammed staying at your place in a jiffy.
Again, bullshit based on bigotry.
It’s not a case of the Geneva Conventions allowing them to be shot out of hand; it’s that the Geneva Conventions require them to be shot out of hand. That’s the enforcement method of the Conventions; it’s supposed to discourage people from becoming unlawful combatants in the first place. The prison at Guantanamo is the result of pusillanimous unwillingness to actually do the nasty stuff required by international law — instead of shooting them, they get a roof, three squares, and all the Koranic instruction they want. And here we have the vital distinction between “graves” and “prisons” — once in a while, people get out of the latter.
Which is to say, style rules substance. The two are absolutely identical — people are being denied consideration as people in favor of being used for the aggrandizement of the deniers. The appropriate phrase is “butter wouldn’t melt in their mouths.”
Regards,
Ric
Then let me summarize. Most of you believe that those in Gitmo are highly screened, bloodthirsty killers, who will immediately plot their revenge.
I think that Gitmo has some people who are committed to killing us, and we can’t let them go, and we don’t have evidence to prosecute. They’ll remain political prisoners under the guise of “they’re still at war”. I’m completely OK with that.
I think there are some that we’ll try and prosecute (and hopefully convict).
And there are some that are lowly foot soldiers, or innocents handed over by their local enemies, or just initially seemed too damn suspicious (like Chinese in Al-Qaeda camps).
Well, under Booosh, I think you can attribute leaving them in Gitmo to a certain, how you say, WhoGivesAFuck-edness.
And BOOOOSH’s motive for ignoring requests from the military to release them would be…what?
They’ll remain political prisoners
Liar.
Hint: recycling an already-discredited lie doesn’t make it the truth, Sambot.

Plus the wingnuts on the right, wide eyed and hands waving, saying, “They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs. They’llKillUs.â€
Big holes in Lower Manhattan, Sambot.

And by “summarize”, as usual, you mean “lie and concoct a ridiculous straw man, because I’ve gotten my ass handed to me. Again”.

KSM ain’t going to like you moving in on his goats, thor.

Wow, negotiation without a need to negotiate. Bzzzt. Wrong. Fail.
Although I give you a point for the no-surprise part.
What were the 5-6 Al-Qaeda domestic attacks?
“Well sure, if you’re Dick Cheney railing against the imminent death of neo-conservationism.”
Huh? I’m talking about the war on terror and you suddenly come up with “LOOK A SHINY SPOON!!!!~`~!1`”
Good job, moron.
I said “attacks”, not “domestic attacks”.
Yet another “LOOK A SHINY SPOON!!!!~`~!1`†moment.
He beat you senseless, thor.
What were the 5-6 Al-Qaeda domestic attacks?
That’s it. Think that no one will notice that you inserted “domestic” in there.
Hint: stupid and dishonest is no way to go through life, Sambot.
Car bomb which went off near the United States embassy in Lima, killing 30.
Luke Helder injures 6 by placing pipebombs in mailboxes in the Midwest.
An Egyptian gunman opens fire at an El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles International Airport
Bombings of United States expatriate housing compounds in Saudi Arabia kill 26 and injure 160
Joel Henry Hinrichs III detonated a bomb near the packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma
Four attackers armed with grenades and machine guns attempt to storm the U.S. embassy in Damascus.
But, you know, spotless, other than those.
Oh, forgot the anthrax mailings.
I love it. Obama is employing the same exact measures as Bush to fight terrorism, except Obama has 2 Gitmos now – the original and the new one at Bagram AFB in Afghanistan.
The left is beside itself on how to get out of this. Comedy gold.
That community organizer is not working out for the lefties the way they wanted.
Now you’re going to pretend that N.O’B didn’t say “Al Qaeda”?
Car bomb which went off near the United States embassy in Lima, killing 30. “Near”. No evidence that this was aimed at the United States, moron. Not Al Qaeda, either. Liebot.
Luke Helder injures 6 by placing pipebombs in mailboxes in the Midwest. Deaths: zero. Not Al Qaeda. Liebot.
An Egyptian gunman opens fire at an El Al ticket counter in Los Angeles International Airport Aimed at Israel, not the US. Not Al Qaeda, as far as we know. Deaths: 3. All Israelis. Liebot.
Bombings of United States expatriate housing compounds in Saudi Arabia kill 26 and injure 160. Not Al Qaeda. Liebot.
Joel Henry Hinrichs III detonated a bomb near the packed football stadium at the University of Oklahoma Deaths: 0. Not Al Qaeda. Liebot.
Four attackers armed with grenades and machine guns attempt to storm the U.S. embassy in Damascus. and were unsuccessful. Liebot.
Typical mendoucheous Sammyboi.
Not OT:TrollHammer from SBP.
#97 – you haven’t spent much time in or with the Armed Forces, have you?
You’re lying.
Ghost, I had an awful time of it as the Bagram AF garrison XO – that facility is the SuXxor. But anything is better than the place the Afgans run, Pol-i Charki. That makes Papillion look like a vacation video…
I’m happy to give Bush a 1 year mulligan, assuming that the rightwings will grant Obama the same.
Since they squeal every time he talks about a problem his administration inherited, I’m not sure we’ll get the same consideration.
There is no “mulligan” in politics. The issue is whether or not the actions of the administration have any responsibility for the actions. Obama’s spendulous is in no way the fault of the administration. It isn’t doing Jack Shit, and we’ve mortgaged our children’s future. Because of spendulous, and the bailouts – you know, Action/reaction. What Obama is DOING is making people nervous. Businesses, banks, investors.
So, no. He came into office after years of the Dems bad mouthing the economy – doing their damndest to drag it down. So, bravo. They got what they wanted!
nmcc: Buh-bye.
Yes. He whooped that ass quite thoroughly.
Oh, and can we please start talking about how Gas is, once again, approaching 3 bucks!? I can only imagine how horrible it will be once Waxman has his way.
Damn, how is Bush still doing that?
Just in: Arkansas recruiting station perp was a recent convert to…guess what religion?
Sammy gets some company and goes full monty. Nice.
I guess I’m not sure what he said, and I’ve even quoted it.
Are those two sentences related? There were domestic and international terrorist attacks on Bush’s watch. Does it only count if they’re also Al-Qaeda? (I guess your less dead if someone else blown you up?)
On Clinton, I think we have:
World Trade Center (1st time) – Not Al-Qaeda
Unabomber – Not Al-Qaeda
Oklahoma City – Not Al-Qaeda
Olympic Park Bombing – Not Al-Qaeda
1998 Embassy Bombings – Al-Qaeda
USS Cole – Al-Qaeda
SBP … Mormon? Gosh, this is hard.
I was thinking Amish or Quaker, myself. Imagine my surprise.
SBP – Given their reactions to Tiller, it is fair to blame sammy, nmcc, Olberfuckface, and MadCow for that murder, isn’t it?
Not that I expect an honest answer from the trolls, but I am curious about 2 things – 1) Do they forget that they were disparaging Bush as having stolen the election from before he took office, as this idea that he had som kind of honeymoon is pure fantasy, and 2) without the aid of retrospect, if you were President, and someone handed you a piece of paper saying AQ determined to strike in US, what would you have done?
Comment by LTC John on 6/1 @ 5:50 pm #
LTC, you’ll be happy to hear that Matt the Marine arrived back safe and sound to Camp Lejuene yesterday. 3/8 , SMAGTF-A, was replace by a full battalion, handover happened on the 29th.
Of course they messed up all our plans because we’re going down on Weds.
I do believe that’s the first time in history that a military scheduled arrival happened on time.
The AP is spinning it in the lede as the gunman having “political and religious motives”. You need to read all the way down to paragraph 5 to learn that the gunman’s name is Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad. Clearly a Zen monk, yes?
I’m so glad to hear that, N.O’B.
Comment by SBP on 6/1 @ 6:00 pm #
But if he was Amish, it would have been a clop by shooting.
Woo Hoo ! I am happy for you and yours, N.O’Brain.
N O’Brain,
Congratulate and thank Matt and his fellow marines for all of us…
My nephew too was rotated out of Iraq 2 weeks ago. After a month of leave his unit will be rotated to…Kansas! What a change of scenery…
Thank God for their safe return; May He watch over all our fellow countrymen in harms way…
8 years of Bush, Republicans controlling the Congress most of the time, and it’s the fault of…. wait for it… Democrats. Of course.
When Bush got elected, I said to a buddy of mine, “I hope the Republicans get the Congress too. Then there’ll be no one else to blame.” Apparently, I was wrong. And so goes the party of personal responsibility.
8 years of absolutely zero effort to (a) reduce demand, and (b) invest in alternatives. If you know some supernatural way to get more than about 81 mbd out of the planet, now’s a good time to speak up. (ANWAR would add 0.8 mbd at its peak.) Of course you loonybins will claim that if we just got out of the way, we could pump all the oil we’d ever need.
I’m glad for you, too, Bob.
out of control amish folks once again
8 years of Bush, Republicans controlling the Congress most of the time, and it’s the fault of…. wait for it… Democrats.
Yes, sheer coincidence that all the shit happened after the Dems regained control in 2006.
Correction….
2nd Marine Expeditionay Brigade took over from 3/8.
Not battallion.
Fantastic, N.O’B.
Hey, happy to hear that about your nephew as well, Bob.
8 years of absolutely zero effort to (a) reduce demand, and (b) invest in alternatives.
1) Demand isn’t going to go down. Ever. Even if Blowbama forces us all onto pedal-powered generators, India and China aren’t about to reduce their energy usage.
2) We already have an “alternative”. Too bad your fellow superstitious savages won’t let us build it.
Hint: it’s called “nuclear power”. It’s safe, cheap, and sustainable.
Wrong. You also missed Khobar Towers (1996) – al-Qaeda
is Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad a compatriot of Malik Zulu Shabazz,
“8 years of Bush, Republicans controlling the Congress most of the time, and it’s the fault of…. wait for it… Democrats. Of course.”
Yep.
Also, Sambot, we’ve seen what happens every time someone tries to build a large-scale “alternative” energy plant.
The superstitious savages try to get it shut down.
Best of luck to him, Bob.
Congrats, N.O’B. Please extend thanks to Matt.
why do some black people like arab slave culture?
So we have a doctor and a recruiter killed by religious fanatics over 2 days. What’s that saying?
Good people do good things and evil people do evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
We’re not talking Bush, are we? We’re talking the here and now. Try to focus. You folks wanted a stalled economy and now you’ve got one. Own it.
Neither one of those crimes was perpetrated by a “good person”, Sambot.
Read that on a bumper sticker, Sammy?
BUMPERSTICKERIST!
Almost as often as evil people do good things out of religion. Ya narrow-minded bigot.
“But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”
You’re right.
Socialism has killed more people in the 20th and 21st centuries than any other cause.
No, I love Bumperstickers. It lets me tell the crazies from the normal folks.
SBP, on this one, you and I couldn’t agree more. FWIW, I like massive hydroelectric dams too. Fuck the salmon. If I have to choose between their civilization collapsing, or mine, well, I’m gonna miss those tasty fish.
From sammies car:
“100,000 lemmings can’t be wrong.â€
Shut it Sammyboi. I’m still at a loss as to why all the smart progressives – which doesn’t include yourself, obviously – have spent years shooting their mouths off instead of putting all the research talent in the “party of science!!” together with all the financial geniuses and engaging in some old-fashioned risk/reward capitalism. Is the gubmint your mommy and daddy?
#176 – or a Kennedy complains it may spoil his view.
#160- did they throw some thermite over their shoulders when leaving BAF?
I love this one:
“I want to die in my sleep like my grandfather….
Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car….”
“I don’t get hot flashes, I get power surgesâ€
Sammybigot, as consistently dead-headed wrong as you are, seriously, where’s the introspection? Where’s the shame? Where’s the shining light radiating out from such a magnanimous, self-evident, sterling character? Why all the tripping, the deceit, the doubletalk, the sheer dishonesty?
Wouldn’t you, just once, look at that mirror and ask why? Failing that, how about how? How is it that virtually everything you’ve spouted since arriving has been shot thru with hole after hole after hole? Wouldn’t that give you the slightest pause?
Yeah, that’s one hell of a white elephant gift from the departing party-in-power.
I dunno, strip away their zealotry, and I think we’d have a doctor and a recruiter still living. Unless you think their religions are inconsequential, in which case, why’d you bring it up?
“Also, I never get tired of the seasonal “drill here†chorus, which was forever clashing with the equally seasonal “makes no econmic sense†reality.”
I gotta feeling that you and reality are not eally close friends.
yes fish have “civilization”.
Comment by Sammy #166:
I said to a buddy of mine,
Good one.
Having witnessed that question, kindly allow me to denounce me.
“Yeah, that’s one hell of a white elephant gift from the departing party-in-power.”
WRONG, SOCIALIST BREATH!
It’s yours.
Own it, revel in it it, roll in it.
Like a dog in poop.
“There’s too much blood in my caffeine system.”
I dunno, strip away their zealotry, and I think we’d have a doctor and a recruiter still living. Unless you think their religions are inconsequential, in which case, why’d you bring it up?
But, it is their zealotry that is the problem.

The only thing I can figure out is that I must be impervious to your hypocrisy.
“The only thing I can figure out is that I must be impervious to your hypocrisy.”
Ooooooo, the hypocrisy card.
Well played, sir, well played!
But, well…..
“The reason any conservative’s failing is always major news is that it allows liberals to engage in their very favorite taunt: Hypocrisy! Hypocrisy is the only sin that really inflames them. Inasmuch as liberals have no morals, they can sit back and criticize other people for failing to meet the standards that liberals simply renounce. It’s an intriguing strategy. By openly admitting to being philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards, liberals avoid ever being hypocrites.”
-Ann Coulter
Carin,
You should know better – The “departing party-in-power” was 2009 January, right? NOT as a result of the 2006 mid-terms!!!!!
wtf?
Observe, Sammyreligionhater: Reform your ways before you hit 18 and you too shall never make such contradictory statements in public. You secprogs may be irrational but at least you’re deluded.
I think they founded Amazon, Oracle, Yahoo, Intel, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and most of the other startups down in the valley.
What do any of those entities have to do with alternative energy? You fucking moron.
Those last two years had nothing to do with it, LTC. Jenny Granholm just recently stopped blaming Engler for the Michigan economy, and he’s been out of office since 2002/2003 elections.
Ha ha ha ha ha. He quoted ANN Coulter. Ha ha ha ha ha (breathe) ha ha ha ha
It’s all Milliken’s fault, Carin. Get your facts straight. ;o)
that’s good all these people think like me.
Answer 195, Sammychristianisthaterz. And justify the bigotry.
I’d stick with that tact if I were you Sammy. Attack the messenger, ignore the message. I know it’s the same approach people have with Rush, and while I (and most here) recognize it as a weak strategy to hide what you don’t know, it works often enough I’m sure.
But, not here.
#209 – they are potential customers for someone who might actally produce some energy?
Uh, see #205. If that doesn’t answer it, go comment on dailykos for a week. After they all tell you your wrong, I guess you’ll actually be wrong, just because they say so.
ssssshhhhhh, let us not speak of the server farms….
I know, it’s wrong of me, BUT HE QUOTED ANN COULTER! Ha ha ha ha ha ha…
Really, who here will put up their hand and say, “That Ann Coulter really speaks for me!”
they tell people they’re wrong?! rather than just delete them? BWAH HA HA HA HA Haaaaa
Sammy,
We have great amount of oil, both offshor and in the tar sands out west. However, Obama and his minions will not allow the oil to be recovered from either of thise areas…
Off the coast of Florida, inside the waters we claim as territorial, Cuba is liscencing the Chinese to pump oil where we refuse to extract it. Similarly, off the coast of California, where the infrastructure to pump product onshore is still in place, oil is not being pumped from wells that were cappped in the 80’s; regardless of the fact that California is broke and that the environmentalists decry the pollution of the oil that percolates through the sea floor-oil that would never be forced to the surface if it were pumped out of the already developed field that is sitting dormant…
By all means do we need to conserve more, exploit nuclear and hydroelectric power sources as well as develop new types of transport fuels. But for society to suffer, mostly those folks at the lower end of the economic spectrum, because of the high demand price of foreign oil as well the added burden of cap-and-trade costs is simply unconscionable…
Not to mention lining the pockets of folks who hate us…
Why not extract what we have here at home while developing alternatives..? It would make sense in most rational universes; except of course the radical, AGW hoax driven ones…
#219 – Indeed – the point is invalid if she says it, aye? If she said F = M*A,it would be untrue too…
oh, and it’s “you’re”
Honestly, I haven’t beaten this drum lately, but is everyone aware of how AWFUL Jennifer Granholm is? OMG, does she suck. They had a conference last week – business folks and politicians (Debbie My-husband-picks-up -HOokers Stabenow didn’t show up ’cause she thought it would “look bad”) got together to attempt to figure out what to do. They do it every year, but obviously this year he had even raison d’etre. Anyway, everyone complained that there was – at the conference- basically NO leadership. Empty dress suit.
Uh, see the last sentence in #205. Oh, ouch!
Ask me how I did that. Really.
Er, #208, religion-hater.
It had even more raison d’etre.
Jenny gets me all …. FUCK HER WITH A SWORDFISH … and it’s hard to think.
waves hand
Really, who here will put up their hand and say, “That Ann Coulter, now she I can debunk with one bigot tied behind my back!â€
mt pants suit?
Ann Coulter speaks for me, as well. She’s out-spoken, but I don’t think she’s even a fraction as offensive as most lefties.
I have a feeling most of your reality is derived exclusively from furious right-wing badgers with thumbs.
Don’t believe for a second they actually care about happens to you.
#230 – see, that is what Jeff always wanted PW for…that kind of insight, wit and serious thought.
Don’t know. I know who won’t try to refute what she said.
Are you leading by example again, thor?
Shit.
He won’t because he can’t. Just like most can’t refute Rush. they just attack him for whatever. His ideas? No thank you.
I’m not a fan of Coulter, but I’m not willing to state categorically that every word she says is false either. Sammy on the other hand…It’s all about the IDEOLOGY, I guess.
No wonder arguing with him is hard–if he disagrees with your conclusions every thing you say is dismissable. Verrry reality based, I think.
Because of the RATIONALITY!
And with few exception, all of the businesses you mentioned in 205 are internet companies. While I enjoy the internet and find it an amazing communication medium it is simply that. It builds nothing, and does not employ large numbers of folks manufacturing anything tangible…
I know that it is beneficial and a communication revolution, but it can’t fuel our economy like real manufacturing…
with all due respect
thor is the Nihilism billboard on the highway of life.
Bah. astrobeefcake and friends have swirled another thread around the bowl.
“I know, it’s wrong of me, BUT HE QUOTED ANN COULTER! Ha ha ha ha ha ha…”
So she’s right.
“philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowards”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!11
I like Ann. She answers lefties in kind. We need more of that.
And, with most of her arguments I’m in perfect alignment.
Her books aren’t that terribly interesting …
ann coulter makes chrissy’s head tingle with dementia
thor’s alter ego gives back.
If that doesn’t answer it, go comment on dailykos for a week.
Kos bans people in about three nanoseconds if they don’t agree with Teh Narrative, asswipe.
If this place were run like that, you’d have been gone a week ago.
I see you’re back on your idiotic “Twitter=GREAT SCIENCE” kick again, too.
Nice refutation, thorazine.
Comment by thor on 6/1 @ 6:45 pm #
Are they still distributing flyers with your photo on them in your neighborhood, whore?
Once again, Sambot: the people who actually INVENTED the Internet were all working on ARPA grants (now DARPA).
I sure as hell wouldn’t want the people who designed Twitter to work on anything important. As a former Navy friend of mine would say, that POS goes down more often than a Subic Bay whore on fleet payday.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
Standing on the high point of an island like some retarded light house.
Please refer to JD’s 1st Rule of Trolls – Teh One’s suckitude can be measured in direct to proportion to the frequency and intensity of troll infestations. In this case, the suckitude is through the roof, as the trolls are in rare form, everywhere.
Bob – could you define the “with all due respect”? On a 1-10 scale, if possible.
They’re heady with failure, JD. Seriously: Give a parasite the reigns and a certain giddy fright overcomes them. It’s inevitable.
great american comrade
nah they created “swiss rolls”
JD,
Like the pastor might tell you on any given Sunday; the enemy fights the hardest when you are closest to a breakthrough…
While they are crowing about the greatness of the O!ne, singing praise to him in their snark filled hypocritical invective psalms, they realize that he’s treading on thin ice…
He hasn’t ended all of the worst and hated Boooosh! policies (wiretapping and renditions)
The porkulus has failed to jump start the economy
Unemployment is rising rapidy, unfortunately for our fellow Americans
He’s bungling foreign policy, encouraging the rogue nations while admonishing our long-time allies
I could go on, but won’t-it’s a bit depressing…
“‘And he’s gonna need help. And the kind of help he’s gonna need is, he’s gonna need you – not financially to help him – we’re gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it’s not gonna be apparent initially, it’s not gonna be apparent that we’re right.’”
Joe Biden
September 20, 2008
So JD, as you might surmise…They’ve gird their loins, and are helping him…
One thing I’ve always liked about that phrase, JD, is that it doesn’t grant any undue respect.
nmcc sounds remarkably like a new troll that goes by kmcc at another site. Every bit as big of a twatwaffle as the other one.
Keep it up, Trolls. Attack with absolutely NO substance. It proves our argument.
Comment by thor on 6/1 @ 7:11 pm #
No answer, whore?
Are they putting your up posters on light poles?
annie smart, intelligent. katie sticking things up her butt on tv
“The resemblance is remarkable, but it proves nothing.”
GOOD troll.
Now, roll over!
i nominate thor for the pw joe biden award
“Comment by newrouter on 6/1 @ 7:24 pm #
i nominate thor for the pw joe biden award”
Nope.
Biden doesn’t like little boys.
#251: By “former Navy friend of mine” I meant “friend of mine who was formerly in the Navy”. I wasn’t in the Navy. I just want to make that clear.
He finds them intellectually intimidating.
kmcc/nmcc – Dance, bitches. Dance.
The frequency and intensity from the trolls is only going to get worse.
“I sure as hell wouldn’t want the people who designed Twitter to work on anything important. As a former Navy friend of mine would say, that POS goes down more often than a Subic Bay whore on fleet payday.”
Aw yeah! third world sex trade !
Why don’t you give us an example? Pick out an argument he has made lately and refute it with a real argument instead of invective. Show us some chops, dude, lead by example.
thor made love once to Che’s aging Norton.
You got a problem with little brown people, meya?
Heh. I mean, it would be interesting if they took you up on it, B Moe. But they won’t. Just like they wont directly address an issue here or anywhere.
Third world hookers gotta eat, too, meya.
So, when the administration came out and said that wasn’t the case at all, they were lying?
Yeah. The one that Obama is keeping open.
FOAD, SFAG.
thor owns a lovely set of hembra castanets in polished zebrawood. thor is Albert to sammy’s Armand.
You people are fucking restarted.
Just had to see that again.
And they aint gonna work in factories making toys for our kids, so….punchline it is.
You’ve all just been (even more)officially classified as domestic terrorists
Really? Why is that?
kmcc has blood on its hands from the killing of one soldier and the shooting of another in Arkansas.
oh thanks, I didn’t see it the first time, thanks to Trollhammer.
please don’t puncture any penumbras
I love how the fuckin’ mental midgets just try to rewrite history right in front of our eyes.
mohammed kills who knew?
That’s postmodern history to you, JD. Posthistory. This we call mind over matter.
Guess who else is more progressive than Obama?
Heh!
Link.
Reconcile that with your, “You’ve all just been (even more)officially classified as domestic terrorists…”
So, were you lying or was the administration?
Well, in all fairness JD, the history of Obama is pretty much multiple choice.
eeew, just noticed an email in the spam box headered “Naked Obama”
a) Dipshit socialist
b) Mendouchous twatwaffle
c) Coke-addled naif
d) all of the above
d) all of the above
all the way down.
Btw, “JD’s 1st Rule of Trolls”, I like that.
Yes it is quite good.
There are others, bh. JD’s Corollary to JD’s 1st Rule of Trolls. JD’s 2nd Restatement of JD’s 1st Rule of Trolls.
e) cloward-piven tool
Heh, if the troll storms continue, you’ll have plenty to work with, JD.
Although I wonder whether they can point to a single concrete thing that they know is bad, or its just a subconscious gestalt sort of thing, which leaves us with:
a) liars
b) drones
Aww, theres our fascist.
JD’s Corollary to JD’s 1st Rule of Trolls – The topics that create the most troll activity are the topics that the Left least wants to discuss.
JD’S 2nd Restatement of JD’s First Rule of Trolls – At times, you will see complete and utter silence from the trolls on a given topic (Holder dismissing case against New Black Panthers) and they focus their attention on another topic to distract from the asshattery that even they are embarassed by.
kmcc, I’ll direct you to your statement, “You’ve all just been (even more)officially classified as domestic terrorists…”. You didn’t say something else, something reasonable, you said what you said.
So, again, were you lying or was the administration? Hey, guess what, I think you’re more likely to be lying in this instance.
Dick Cheney put that technology in place? Really? Good Allah. It would be nice if the trolls were not so transparently dishonest, or just plain old pig-ignert.
Thor heard the footsteps.
Fuck yeah!
well, at least we weren’t overcharged.
bh – They just make shit up as they go along. Since Teh One’s words cease having meaning the moment they are uttered, kmcc/nmcc are just following suit. That is all they know.
It’s because you’re an ignorant, scum sucking douchenozzle, whor.
JD,
The “With all due respect” meter modulates depending on the content…
With tonights bunch it’s pretty low
Limbaugh doesn’t prey on anybody. He sits on his fat ass, talks into a microphone and makes gazillions of dollars for it. Pretty good gig, I’d say.
yea not voting booths eric holder and the fascist black panthers
Prey.
I’d say that’s pretty revealing. He does prey on the fragile psyche of leftists across the land.
That sounds about right.
I’ll bet big money that’s an Obama voter. This is all Keith Olbermann’s fault.
Did Sammy, thor, and kmcc pass out, or are they practicing their Dirty Sanchez and felching again?
thor doesn’t scare easy, pilgrim.
good grief. i take a couple of days to work on my game houses and slack off on my reading and i miss all the good trolling and wank. and i’m still trying to play reading catch up without it breaking my brain too much.
NEway, just poking my head up to say YES coulter speaks for me. not always but more often than not she doesn. also, i’d totally do her. i don’t sually fancy blondes, but she’s unfat and obviously in excellent shape. which is hot. and i bet she can get really freaky too. and i mean that in the nicest possible way.
now it’s back to my make believe house and then some real sleep. i’ll read the rest manana. love to all you non-trolls. ;-)
We are supposed to blame talk radio, O’Reilly, Rush Republicans, and religious people for the Tiller murder, but we are not supposed to blame liberals, Olberman, MadCow, Muslims, or the MSM for the murder of the soldiers. Such wonderful “logic”.
Yeah, I keep hearing that non-white people don’t like the right at all. Why aren’t our trolls condemning their killer? How is this going to play out with the middle when they find you guys murdering our soldiers?
i denounce my typos. *typos i denounce thee!’ i guess i really should go to bed early.
Don’t worry louchette, you had me at “i’d totally do her”.
“Comment by thor on 6/1 @ 8:03 pm #
I’ve had my fill of grunts from the dumb herd.”
Well then maybe you should stop hangin’ round the beatnick-esque progressive haven coffee-shops…
Don’t you ever get tired of the non-showering, no-pit-shaving barista pierced nose chicks…
Less grunts and clisck among the self-respect and personal responsibility crowd…
Until next time…
louchette is in my Top 10 favorite chicks I have never met.
Bob – I spend a lot of time in those kinds of places, and I always chuckle under my breath when I chat with you guys right in the midst of the smelly folks …
louchette sounds like she’s got herself together, doin’ what she likes…
and, she sounds totally hot…
Especially the name…
You know what’s sorta weird? When I was a little kid I wanted to be a rocket scientist. Since hearing from SBP that Bob is a real rocket scientist, I kinda get an additional kick out of these comment threads.
Anyone here a former Green Bay Packer, as well?
I’ve been gone all day. Can someone tell me how Opie, the 31 year old with no experience at anything except school and Rattner the Kick-back Czar, have any experience in running a PINEWOOD DERBY never mind an AUTO COMPANY!??
Dear Sweet Mother of Jesus, this isn’t a Marxist, keep the UNION vote…ACORN type POWER GRAB?? Is it??
JD,
You mighta seen thor in one and not known it!
The Philippines has never been “third world.”
Bob – thor is easy to spot. You know that chubby little balding dude that you see in the background of pictures of Michael Vick and Barcky, sniffing their ass ?
I don’t know how that kid Deese got that kind of gig; except by the good ol’ political spoils system…
Maybe he was part of the truce, like a prisoner exchange, between Hillz and O!…
One things for sure, very much like Rochester to Benny, all he’ll be sayin’ to O! is yeeeessss Bosss!
A white lackey yes man for the omnipotent black King…
Sounds like a twisted Spike Lee joint!
47th economy in the world. But don’t let that spoil your bigoted POV.
Yea I think that 31 year old is a pre-written campaign commercial material what could be used for the next 50 years after GM and Chrysler metamorphos into the black hole. Right now they’re only at nova stage.
so the kenyan who never ran a lemonade stand is mr. car? should be fun
Leftists cannot be bigots, by definition, RTO. You know that.
Bob – thor is like playing “Where’s Waldo”. Just try to find him sniffing Vick’s ass.
Don’t you ever get tired of the non-showering, no-pit-shaving barista pierced nose chicks…
No, he doesn’t. He finds the ones who will let him have his way every now and again if he pays for the drinks.
Other than working on Dem campaigns, does Deese have experience in anything?
Well he’s 31 now, dropped out of Yale to work on Hilldawg’s campaign, so there appears to a period of missing time somewhere. The bong years, perhaps.
this experience thing is a “white anglo construct”
Between Rattner and Deese, they had exactly ZERO days of experience in the auto industry. Competency just ooooooooozes from these guys.
Guess who else is more progressive than Obama?
Heh!
Sound of hippie heads exploding. Scanners-style, baby.
obama he got experience being a ivy league asshole
Hell, I spent seven years in an assembly plant, enough to know what got welded where. Why didn’t I get this plum?
I don’t recall where I heard it, but this Rattner fellow, in addition to being aptly named, is building something like a $15 million mansion on Martha’s Vineyard. Yea that whole for me but not thee thing.
Dash – That comes from his wife’s job fundraising for the DNC.
The trolls finally passed out.
O yea. Prolly some Soros monies floating around in there. I think we need some top flight documentarians to detail this whole mess.
Yeah,
Rattners job is just another political payoff plum; brought to us all by the most ethical administration-EVAH!…
If the automobile industry was too crucial to our entire economic system to allow it to go into bankruptcy, which is is doing anyway, why in the fucking world are Rattner and Deese anywhere within a mile of the group working on this?
When I was in my late 20’s (in the 2000’s, I’m young), I made a move for a job above me. Ended up in competition with an older guy with much more experience. He got the job, I got a raise and he ended up teaching me almost everything I now know. Best thing that ever happened to me.
This Deese guy, you gotta feel sorry for him in a way. They’re setting him up to fail.
it is windmill free don’t you know?
yea the whole economy Cloward-Piven
Yeah, but what do they know about healthcare and retirement plans? That’s what’s really important now.
Yea its almost too easy for us. Admiral Ackbar advises you run for the hills Mr. Deese, you are the fall guy.
And the MSM just nods their heads and keeps on fellating Teh One.
Remember when Jesse Jackson wanted to cut Teh One’s nuts off. All he had to do was kick someone in the MSM in the chin.
He’s come a long way since Ridgemont High.
The trolls finally passed out.
Actually, I think they’re still trying to get their heads around Cheney being more “progressive” than Obama.
They didn’t pass out…
They’re at the local Starbucks, or similar such hangout, hoping that by proclaiming their fealty to the O!ne that they’ll be able to get some action; that or a strip club pleading with the waitress for a handy in the parking lot…
You see, PW is not the only place they troll…
He is a Democrat hack, failing is what they are all about. Hard to be a victim if you don’t know how to fail.
Or maybe they’re catching the Olberman/Maddow re-runs; getting tommorows talking points…
Better to memorize them now than to risk having to think early in the day; you know, at the crack of noon…
‘Cuz, that’s how they troll…
They are awaiting their marching orders on how to blame Bush for a domestic terrorist action by a Muslim and suspected terrorist murdering a US soldier in the continental US.
Just feeling sorry for him “in a way”, B Moe. A very limited way. Seems like they expect failure and put the overwhelmed, under-experienced sacrificial goat in place ahead of schedule.
eh, if any of the Fannie/Freddie people are an example, he’ll fall up.
Heh, true enough, Maggie. Perhaps, after a backroom Franking or two, he’ll consider the error of his ways.
Bob Reed (#221) – good stuff and I completely agree. Every drop of oil that can be pumped eventually will be pumped. It’s just a matter of time. The cognitive dissonance of bitching about expensive gas, and railing against drilling off your own coast, will eventually break down.
But it won’t be enough. I’m with Friedman – cheap electrons are the future.
“cheap electrons are the future.”
Ummm. Ahem. Cap n’trade. Arghhh.
#230 – Oh snap.
#371: Actually, they’re just disappearing the story altogether, JD.
It’s nowhere to be seen on the front page of Google News.
The Tiller story is still right at the top.
Nowhere to be seen on MSNBC.
The Tiller story is still right at the top.
The New York Times is running it in the “More News” section, below the Tiller story.
To their credit, both ABC News and CNN are giving it some play.
I sadly predicted that the murder of a US serviceman by a Muslim who was under investigation for ties to terrorism would not get 1/10th of the coverage as Tiller. I was wrong by at least an order of magnitude.
BTW, The New York Times is spinning it as a “young man upset by the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq”.
ABC has it as the main story on their site, with pic, and mentions right in the headline “under FBI investigation”, “had recently traveled to Yemen”, and “was under a Joint Terror Task Force investigation for using a Somali passport there”.
Is it just me or is ABC News actually improving quite a bit of late? Jake Tapper seems to be the only reporter with enough balls to question Teh One.
OT, but interesting.
So that is how they will spin this against Bush. They will claim that this young man was angered by the illegal warforoil, Gitmo, and Abu Ghraib at some point, guaranteed.
bh – those people are prolly racist, trying to get in the way of Teh One doing the work he was born to do.
Ya know, JD, I was thinking that same thing. Bondholders? Racists.
The human excrement who shoot soldiers? Invisible.
Holy smoke, 0006 GMT-5
Time for this scalawag to hit the rack…
Best Wishes to all
How many years have to pass before we’re done talking about Boosh and Cheney? Oh, wait…
It is true that we have less far to fall, having not placed ourselves so high atop the self-righteous pedestal. Look at all the Republican that torpedoed themselves going after Clinton/Lewinski (for the record, Clinton should have resigned (and I loved that guy!))
Sorry, I’m still gloating. If there was a real fight worth having, I wouldn’t be spending my time making sure I’m comment #386 on some obscure blog. It’s more like, “The battles are so fierce because the stakes are so small.”
Man, the whole teabagging debacle really expanded your guys vocabulary. Pretty soon you’re going to be weaving “2 girls 1 cup” into your conversations (don’t google it.) What do you guys do for a living/family life, that you’re able to just hit the refresh button all damn day?
Blame whoever you want, but I blame the losers who pull the triggers.
‘Night, Bob.
Sammy, I blame you for nothing. Maybe if a fast food restaurant messed up my order you’d come to mind. That’s about it though.
That is a lie and you are a liar. Go donkey punch Rosie O’Lard, see if you get bucked off.
Good night, to all of the nonfuckingmendoucheous folks around here. I have an early flight tomorrow.
well, at least I wasn’t expecting to sleep well tonight anyway.
‘Night, JD.
So far they aren’t even making it to 30% of this shitstorm. Come on Obama has plenty of money to throw at you guys right. And there are those “special” workshops at camp. Get it together and top that 1574 comment Palin thread.
But, Geoff, guys like Sammy just hang out here for fun, not for pay or misguided ideology. What’s more fun than being unliked and ridiculous for hours on end?
Okay, I’m to bed myself. ‘Night.
Silly me and here I pictured them as a mutant form of the “Blues Brothers” on a mission for their O! god. This time they are the Illinois Nazis.
It is true that we have less far to fall, having not placed ourselves so high atop the self-righteous pedestal
WHAT? Most Ethical Congress EVER!

As I come out the prison gate….
That one stunned the hell out of me too, Carin.
Are you fucking kidding me?

So she’s right.
“philanderers, draft dodgers, liars, weasels and cowardsâ€

President Bush has more integrety than your entire inbred family.

Hi-fuckin’-larious:

ABC is also airing “The Goode Family”. Perhaps someone at ABC said to someone else, “Hey, what if we stop crapping on half the country?”
