Intro to push polling, Mass.-style

“So. Would it worry you at all to know that in voting for Scott Brown, you’d likely be supporting the lynchings of blacks and gays — and maybe even helping to put Jews and Papists into ovens…? And don’t even get us started on what might happen to kittens, which gives a whole new meaning to ‘gettin’ some pussy‘…”*

  1. Squid says:

    One hopes that somebody in the Boston media will bring this to light. I’d love to see Coakley give a press conference denying her involvement.

  2. Joe says:

    Just as long as Scott Brown is not giving out any KFC, because that would be racist.

    And probably unhealthy ta boot!

  3. Blake says:

    I thought kitten killing, ovens and lynching were merely lifestyle choices and therefore protected.

  4. Joe says:

    Hate groups would include any one who opposes the Democratic Party agenda. I mean…Duh!

  5. Pablo says:

    This piece in the Globe is fairly astonishing. Where’s Martha Coakley?

    That said, anyone who thinks the Dems are going to let Brown roll over her is kidding themselves.

  6. Joe says:

    I thought kitten killing, ovens and lynching were merely lifestyle choices and therefore protected.

    Only if agreed to my mutually consenting adults…and you have a safe word.

  7. Timstigator says:

    Massachusetts: you don’t fuck with our politics here. We’re one-party rule and don’t you forget that. Chicago has nothing on us.

    (Paraphrasing of course…I don’t live there…couldn’t afford it.)

  8. sdferr says:

    “I got an odd call last night that presented as a survey on the Kennedy election.”

    I thought that fucker was dead. What, he rises from the grave e’en in the minds of the opposition?

  9. Squid says:

    Protected lifestyle choices are enjoyed only by those with a (D) after their name. Anyone else will be crucified on The Daily Show for such behavior.

    These are the laws. Ignorance is no defense!

  10. McGehee says:

    Rilly, in Assachusets any question containing the word “bush” is intended (heh) to be negative.

  11. Blake says:

    Ah, got it Squid. Now I can follow along at home.

  12. Pablo says:

    I thought that fucker was dead. What, he rises from the grave e’en in the minds of the opposition?

    That is weird. Maybe they’re referring to fortuitously named longshot. Which would be just as weird as referring to the belly up swimmer.

  13. Spiny Norman says:

    The questions were obnoxious; for example: “would knowing that hate groups support Scott Brown change you opinion of him?”.

    They did not identify what a hate group was and today I wonder if they might be referring to a group to which I belong (one never knows in this environment when the ground may shift and you are left as a member of a hate group).

    In Massachusetts, isn’t the GOP an officially designated hate group?

  14. I got a push-poll phone call one time. I felt so used…

  15. sdferr says:

    Weirder yet to be little Joe.

    Nah, my sense is the lady just shorthands her world in odd ways she doesn’t bother to pick up, look at and change to fit the real. It’s a self harming laziness though. And maybe that’s a tiny part of our problem. Folks think stuff like that, the Kennedy, as if he owned it, it was and is his, rather than “the Massachusetts’ second Senate seat”, our’s, from her pov, mine. My senator. My representative.

  16. Squid says:

    A lot of people would find it distasteful or inappropriate to equate Bush’s tax policies with hate groups. They’d see it as a furthering of the long-standing efforts to link groups like the KKK or Aryan Nations with the Republican party, conveniently ignoring the fact that it’s the Democrats who’ve set up the machinery that encourages identity groups to battle each other in the first place.

    These people possess the intellect and the analytical skills to understand what’s really going on with such push-polls (beyond the immediate effect of associating Brown with these groups in low-information voters’ minds). They also understand how and why such efforts are harmful to the country over the long term, regardless of the temporary advantage they might provide in a local election.

    In contrast, I present Coakley’s sockpuppet, who thinks this sort of behavior is just ducky. It’s reminiscent of the cheerleaders sneering at the chess club because they’re wearing unfashionable shirts. You know that in ten years they’ll be lining up to be trophy wives to the people they’ve mocked, and in twenty-five years they’ll be bitter divorcees as the chess club guys trade them in for sportier models. Meanwhile, the mouth-breathers bitch in comment sections because they can’t get any cheerleaders to pay attention to them, and it’s all the Republicans’ fault.

    Or something like that.

  17. rhymin and stealing says:

    “A lot of people would find it distasteful or inappropriate to equate Bush’s tax policies with hate groups”

    Which is why it is odd that William Jacobson made this equation.

    “In contrast, I present Coakley’s sockpuppet, who thinks this sort of behavior is just ducky”

    Like referring to Coakley as a “tax and spend liberal.”

  18. psycho... says:

    In Massachusetts, isn’t the GOP an officially designated hate group?

    The local term is “coven.”

  19. cranky-d says:

    Miss troll who cannot keep one name, you are proving Mr. Squid’s point.

  20. Gary says:

    Last act of a desperate party!

  21. Joe says:

    Sarah Palin is ditching CPAC because the Birchers are a co-host. Smart move, dumb? My guess it is the smart move, given that the Birchers, while I sympathize with their little “l” libertarianism, are a bit odd. I mean, I may have disagreements about Ike, but I do not think he was a Communist.

  22. happyfeet says:

    CPAC is gay so that’s definitely a smart move. CPAC is so gay I bet even the Hot Air ones don’t go this year.

    Not money. I wouldn’t bet money.

  23. dicentra says:

    Sarah didn’t have any choice. The Birchers are, as somebody at the Corner pointed out, “politically immature.” They might be solid on their Constitution, but their conspiracy theories reveal a poor grasp of how the world works.

    I remember reading None Dare Call It Conspiracy as a pre-teen (it was lying around the house) and being scared out of my wits. Didn’t say it in so many words, but the Joooooos, you know. International bankers. Fomenting wars and financing both sides, etc.

    Took my mom awhile to talk me out of that</i. tree.

  24. Pablo says:

    Palin’s problem with CPAC seems to be more about CPAC than Birchers.

  25. happyfeet says:

    That’s very much to her credit I think Mr. Pablo. David Keene is a disreputable loser person. Even Cap’n Ed knows he’s a disreputable loser person.

  26. happyfeet says:

    oh. I guess the Associated Press couldn’t find a picture of Sarah from before her face melted.

  27. rube says:

    Turning down all those speaking fees thanks to your beliefs. Now that’s an honest politician.

  28. Blake says:

    Yeah, evidently Palin has a problem with the organizer of CPAC trying to shake down FedEx.

  29. happyfeet says:

    It’s sort of disheartening though cause these are the sorts of politiciany decisions you make when you’re contemplating running for president.

    God help us.

  30. upyours says:

    It’s nice to see that Jeff is as much of a moron as he ever was. Eternal verities and all that.

  31. cranky-d says:

    OT: I hope the new site will be comment with registration only, so that one must be tied to some email address, even if it is only known by Jeff. Assertion monkeys who constantly change their names are tiresome and enervating. The enervating part is, of course, by design.

    I will miss being able to sock-puppet, though.

  32. DarthRove says:

    cranky-d, maybe sock-puppeting can be a pay-for-play feature. Kinda like you get 5 free email accounts with your RoadRunner. For only $5/month more, you get 3 puppets? Mebbe like that? If that happens, I call dibs on “RD’s brain dipped in Stage 3 syphilis and chocolate sprinkles”.

  33. Mr. W says:

    Deepest Blue State, Evah!
    No GOP support to speak of
    Hostile media
    Underfunded
    Zero ‘name recognition’

    If the people of Massachusetts put Brown in office I predict that obama will be removed from office by the Democrats for, as Uncle Joe Stalin used to say, ‘the good of the Party’.

  34. Squid says:

    I would like to thank “upyours” for sharing his well-informed and exquisitely footnoted analysis of our host. In the seven years I’ve been reading his work, you’d think I’d have realized that underneath his bizarre humor and challenging academic analyses of intentionalism and interpretation lies an absence of intelligence that should be obvious to anyone not blinded by reason, education and amusement.

    “upyours”, I sincerely hope that you’ll share your name and website with me, so that I can thank you properly for opening my eyes. You’re a credit to the species, and I appreciate your commitment to educating rubes like me by “slumming” here.

  35. Neo says:

    Ezra Klein comes up with this bonehead political analysis …

    A competitive, two-party democracy shouldn’t have long periods of single-party dominance. The mid-20th century, which did see Democrats with that sort of majority in the House, was the product of a three-party system in which a party of conservative, racist Southerners entered into a coalition with the Democrats. But that’s over now.

    I guess that was an alliance of Democrats with Southern Democrats.
    How embarrassing.

  36. Mr. W says:

    I am confident, based on his erudite comment, that ‘upyours’ is also the proprietor of a highly ranked blog visited by scores of reasonably conversant people.

    Would you be so gracious as to share the name of your super-popular blog with us, ‘upyours’?

  37. Mr. W says:

    No website? No blog? No friends?

    Yeah, I didn’t think so, ‘upyours’.

    You may now return to your previously scheduled enuii.

  38. BuddyPC says:

    35. Comment by Mr. W on 1/8 @ 1:41 pm #

    Deepest Blue State, Evah!
    No GOP support to speak of
    Hostile media
    Underfunded
    Zero ‘name recognition’

    That may be truer than you may think.
    Dodd throwing in the towel in CT tells me, as much as anything, Obama won’t carry CT in ’12.
    Dodd not sticking it out until next summer means there won’t be a cavalry bump in either more stimulus money for CT or a late saving of gutted defense spending (on particularly the F-22) which has hit CT firms, esp. P&W and UTC especially hard.
    Dodd’s campaign specialty last few cycles was showing up at the end and basically telling everyone how he not only saved the Boatyards but expanded CT sub and fighter output by single-handedly taking on BRAC commissions.

    Dodd will save two faces in not being around next fall to not only be able to say, “Miss me now?” but also blaming whichever GOP delegate in sabotaging CT’s DoD safety net enough, which maybe might tilt that senate seat back to the Dems if there is any economic recovery. But this will take place before the Bush tax rates expire and really bring on the Great Recession – and the guy ultimately holding that empty bag both ways is going to be Obama, Peace Prize Laureate.

  39. Squid says:

    Neo, I really wish you wouldn’t post stuff like that. It only gets my blood pressure up.

    Why does WaPo continue to give Juice Box Hero (straws in his eyes!) a platform from which to broadcast his ignorance and bad-faith arguments? Is there really nobody in the organization paying attention? Nobody to tap Ezra on the shoulder and say, “Son, I think you’ve embarrassed us both quite enough”?

  40. Mr. W says:

    Obama may want to be very careful about walking in front of his bus while Rahm is ‘checking the brakes’.

  41. sdferr says:

    Mr Jacobson’s correspondent isn’t alone thinking of a dead Kennedy, evidently. Here’s Sen. Paul Kirk, quoted at NRO:

    Senator Paul Kirk, currently in the seat, told reporters today he would vote for a health care bill even if Massachusetts voters elect Brown.

    “Absolutely,” Kirk said, according to the State House News Service, when asked if he’d vote for the bill, even if Brown captures the seat. “It would be my responsibility as United States senator, representing the people and understanding Senator Kennedy’s agenda and the rest of it.”

  42. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Heh.

    Gets better and better.

    Even if Brown doesn’t win it’s a squeaker, (ACORN & SEIU being the six sided die).

    In friggin’ Massachusetts. It’s their bastion. That state is like Pavlov’s dog when it comes to pulling the Democrat lever (I know it’s a button now, but politics always seemed like a slot machine to me).

    If it’s even close, that’s cold fusion people. That’s cats and dogs living together. That’s like the majority of people in Philadelphia becoming Dallas Cowboys fans virtually over night. As pointed out way up thread, The fucking Boston Globe shredded Coakley today in two different stories! Dogs and cats living together! That alone should inspire a headline reading:

    MAYAN CALENDAR PREDICTS DOOM FOR MAN IN 2012. DOOM FOR DEMOCRATS IN 2010. BUT ONLY THE LATTER IS CERTAIN

  43. Mr. W says:

    The left is desperately panning Coakley because even the liberal Globe understands that obama Pelosi and Reid are driving The Party off of a cliff.

    You know the situation has gotten out of hand when even hard core Dems at the Globe are reaching for the electoral emergency brake represented by Brown.

  44. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Democrats with that sort of majority in the House, was the product of a three-party system in which a party of conservative[Democrat], racist Southerners entered into a coalition with the [other] Democrats.

    At which point Ezra Klein closed his eyes, blew out the candles on his birthday cake, and wished that damned ol’ Senator Byrd would just die already.

  45. newrouter says:

    big medicine weak points:

    A growing number of Americans are bypassing doctors and going directly to online and storefront labs for diagnostic testing. Most often they pay for these tests out of their own pocket. The results may persuade the consumer to pursue the matter further with a personal physician but, in any case, the consumer is in charge of who sees the results.

    here

  46. Just to remind people, Eric Cantor is a Joooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

    Oooooga-boooga.

  47. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    newrouter,

    Welcome to Obamacare. Stupid x Pi. Like a busted watch, it’s six o’clock and the AMA is actually right. We’re not in the Gattica world just yet. This “store front lab/ Do it yourself” stuff is the equivalent of Kramer storing his blood in Jerry’s refrigerator. For low end stuff, just maybe. Cholesterol, etc. But an “all clear” from the “Med Test Center” right next to your local Kroger is all kinds of fucked up.

    Who the hell is reading the tests? What’s their qualifications? Were they asked to look for something by an MD?

    Article don’t say do it?

    Seems those Sarah Palin Death Panels have deep roots that extend to all.

    Obamacare is straight out of Mike Judge’s Idiocracy. In the hospital ER, you get three probes for the diagnosis machine which is operated by a bureaucratic retard. One probe goes in your ear, one in your mouth, and the other one in your ass.

    …Oh wait. You put them in wrong. Try again.

  48. newrouter says:

    @49

    for a yearly exam why not email the result to a doctor in costa rica for his opinion. then if there’s a problem see your local doctor.seems to me knowledge and data are power to fight having the feds have your data.

  49. newrouter says:

    @49 lamont

    its like the cable beast communistcast. i didn’t want to pay an additional $42.00 /month more so i could watch fox news and cspan. so i got a new faster computer and watch a free stream. f**k the bureaucrats both public and private

  50. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    @50

    Costa Rica?

    I have a 2,000 year old witch doctor stashed deep in Carlsbad Caverns (not in the tourist parts). Saw him a couple of months ago, and he said I’m good to go through 2016.

    I could hook you up.

    The co-pay is a live chicken.

    But he’s rock solid.

    Better than the Mayo Clinic.

    And the Feds don’t even know he’s here.

    Good luck getting my records.

  51. newrouter says:

    the free market in action

    Politically stable Costa Rica has modern, efficient, internationally accredited hospitals offering a wide range of medical procedures. The hospitals have hosted international patients for many years, and the doctors are among the best in the world. To visit the hospitals and the doctors is like a trip back in time for many American patients, back to a time where the patients and their needs came first. We’ve seen and experienced it first-hand, and are proud to feature three modern hospitals in San Jose Costa Rica dedicated to providing excellent care at a fraction of the price in the U.S.

    here

  52. newrouter says:

    “I have a 2,000 year old witch doctor stashed deep in Carlsbad Caverns”

    dr obama?

  53. cranky-d says:

    So Costa Rica will be the new place to get medical procedures done so you don’t die before the State will do the surgery. At least there will be some place to go.

  54. bastiches says:

    I have a 2,000 year old witch doctor stashed deep in Carlsbad Caverns

    Yeah, I caught his act in Vegas once. Funny cat. A bit hacky for my taste, but still has chops.

  55. newrouter says:

    why this loathing of costa rico medicine?

  56. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    Yeah, I caught his act in Vegas once. Funny cat. A bit hacky for my taste, but still has chops.

    Well, no shit Sherlock. The act is 2,000 years old :)

    But his prostate exams are really gentle.

    It ain’t Dr. Obama newrouter. If it were “The” Dr. Obama, he would have already granted me ever lasting life in “his” kingdom.

    Ya know, if it wasn’t for me not voting for him and all my subsequent blasphemy and whatnot.

    Shit.

    I just can’t bring myself to repent.

    Otherwise?

    Redeemed forever by The Obama. Skittles and Unicorns for all eternity.

  57. Lamontyoubigdummy says:

    @58

    I know the ass kicking stings RD, but try to keep from foaming at the mouth and linking your jerk off material in response.

  58. Mr. W says:

    I hesitate to click the links due to the probable ick factor, but unless I am very much mistaken I think RD was trying to be amusing.

  59. Mr. W says:

    The main problem with the Brown campaign not having mainstream media support is that we don’t get treated to those fawning profile pieces that the New York Times, and the Washington Post excell at producing. Conservatives pore over facts, and figures, and polls, completely ignoring the kind of reporting that gets the People magazine crowd to the voting booth.

    I’m talking about that sickening, candidate-fluffing style of journalism that has been practiced for years by the leftist press. It was a skill born of necessity since if they ever reported the actual backgrounds or policies of their pols they would be fired and the candidates jailed for sedition.

    In the classic question form: If Brown was a Democrat, does anyone doubt that Maureen Dowd would not have churned out an editorial potboiler by now based exclusively on his square jaw and two gorgeous daughters? Frank Rich would be busy churning out copy alluding to the fact that the Senate was just a stopover for a candidate with the kind of magnetism Brown exuded.

    If someone *cough* Goldstein *cough* really wanted to dust off the old keys, I for one would love to see a slobbering profile of candidate Brown done in the classic ‘un-biased’ mainstream media style. Nothing would warm the cockles of my mercenary heart like seeing our guy get that unquestioning and totally substance-free reporting that, as a general rule, only graduates of top-flight J-schools can produce.

  60. Pablo says:

    Are you choking on Levi, RD?

  61. Mr. W says:

    Sorry. I forgot the obligatory ‘Obama is so spectacularly bad that he actually makes RD miss George W. Bush’ tag line.

  62. Mr. W says:

    And RD knows it:)

  63. Mr. W says:

    Palin has not gotten anywhere near the syncophantic treatment in the press that is accorded Democrats, RD. For a little mental exercise, play ‘name that pol’ and imagine if Sarah Palin had…

    Driven drunk off a bridge and killed a young girl
    Been a member of the Klan
    Slept with a twenty one year old intern
    Had a child with a campaign staffer
    Been unwilling to produce school transcripts
    Sold her vote for pork

    There is the cream of the Democrat party. No wonder they’re so proud of themselves.

  64. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    It’s nice to see that Jeff is as much of a moron as he ever was

    Nah, the Coolest Dudes Evah[!!!] just don’t recognize kitty litter’s worshlp of its callow Cool Cat much of an evolutionary achievement. While Sarah Palin can even field dress a Moose, for chris’ sake.

  65. Lazarus Long says:

    “Comment by RD on 1/8 @ 7:54 pm #

    Conservatives pore over facts, and figures, and polls, completely ignoring the kind of reporting that gets the People magazine crowd to the voting booth

    *cough* Sarah Palin *cough*”

    PDS already?

    Sheesh, reactionary leftists are soooo predictible.

    And boring.

  66. Lazarus Long says:

    “There is the cream of the Democrat party. No wonder they’re so proud of themselves.”

    And no wonder that the MSM can produce nothing but puff pieces.

  67. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    “And RD knows it:)”

    But with their “Climate Science” to warm them, they still to this day make but an infant’s tiny carbon footprint.

  68. dicentra says:

    OH BY THE WAY.

    While poking through the archives last night, I found this interview from December 2004.

    Can’t tell if it’s a well-medicated Jeff or one with no meds at all.

  69. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    Watch closely, O’ Progressives, for Obama’s next and most nuanced of all diplomatic moves yet, by which to “defend us from terrorists”, ergo, craftily arranging to get himself officially blackmailed by terrorists so as to induce them to bother us no more, or at least until the 2010 election is over!

    Since he’s already doing it for free, this would be a signature advancement for Obama’s Adminisration in the noblest matter of “negotiating with our enemy”. For example, money now donated to Private Charities would be a small price to pay for Peace.

  70. dicentra says:

    Strangely enough, I can’t find their July 2006 interview anywhere.

    Also, RD, I’m on Firefox, and I can hear it just fine.

  71. dicentra says:

    Also don’t forget this classic.

    Fans want to know why there aren’t more, and the answer is that Jeff lost his aud/vid guy.

  72. dicentra says:

    Or so he says.

  73. happyfeet says:

    It’s cause of how stupid he is and also the stupid. Why kind of stupid stupidhead reads Associated Press propaganda and applauds like a drooling tard? Why it’s our very own Cap’n Ed!

    Hi Cap’n!

    oh by the way the key paragraph was this one

    The House has passed a bill intended to generate jobs, extend unemployment benefits and a health insurance subsidy and provide other aid. But the Senate is reluctant to go along. Republicans say Obama’s first stimulus package hasn’t been effective.

    Cause of the point of the propaganda is to lay the groundwork for more dirty socialist spending. I know… it’s counterintuitive.

    Wait.

    No it’s not.

  74. McGehee says:

    Of course, hf. It’s how the Big Gummint Party works.

    1. Identify a crisis.

    2. Propose a response that will make the crisis worse.

    3. When the response makes the crisis worse, propose more of it.

    4. Repeat as desired.

  75. Danger says:

    RD,

    Glad to see the DEMORATS are maintaining their virtue:
    http://www.bostonherald.com/business/healthcare/view.bg?articleid=1224249

    FTA:

    “Today, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor’s Council would take a while.

    “Because it’s a federal election,” spokesman Brian McNiff said. “We’d have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in.”

    Another source told the Herald that Galvin’s office has said the election won’t be certified until Feb. 20 – well after the president’s address.

    Since the U.S. Senate doesn’t meet again in formal session until Jan. 20, Bay State voters will have made their decision before a vote on health-care reform could be held. But Kirk and Galvin’s office said today a victorious Brown would be left in limbo.

    In contrast, Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell) was sworn in at the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 18, 2007, just two days after winning a special election to replace Martin Meehan. In that case, Tsongas made it to Capitol Hill in time to override a presidential veto of the expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.”

    If Brown wins and Deval stalls the certification of the election to prevent him from voting on the healthcare bill I expect the Tea Party to become a $**t Storm.

    The fact that they are even considering it is evidence of how worried and desperate they truly are.

  76. Mr. W says:

    You can bet that absolute truckloads of ACORN/census absentee ballots are arriving daily at the headquarters of the Mass. Democratic campaign. It really is the people of Massachusetts against their elected (and unelected) masters in this special election.

    The unfortunate price they pay for unthinking fealty to one party, dynastic rule. I sure hope they win.

  77. #23 Joe:
    I mean, I may have disagreements about Ike, but I do not think he was a Communist.

    I once found a Bircher pamphlet from 1961. They weren’t any more thrilled about JFK. For some, principles are a hilltop on which to take a stand. For the Birchers, principles are a cave in which to hide.

  78. #79 dicentra:

    Fans want to know why there aren’t more, and the answer is that Jeff lost his aud/vid guy.

    Oh, is that all? Well here, then. Prolly some good deals on a tripod & infrared remote in there, too.

  79. donald says:

    Mr. W, get your facts straight asshole.

    He did not sleep with a 21 year old intern. He sheperded the intern into an off room for blow jobs and fetishistic vaginal probing with cigars. He sexually assaulted a young whore in the work place. It was almost as evil as Bob Packwood. Almost. He did not even know her name the first several times (“Kiddo”).

    Had this maniac had the common decency to have an affair with an actual adult, who was not under the durress of employment or seeking employment, I would have let him slide, I’ve seen his wife. No problem. But he is and was a sexual predator. Preying on vulnerable women in the work place. A nasty, disgusting,used car salesman hack. That is not a slap at the noble industry of selling cars…new or used. He really ought to have his penis removed.

  80. #82 McGehee:

    Hence the adage, Government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.

  81. donald says:

    I’m not knocking Monica Lewinsky for being a whore. I have no problems with whoredome.

  82. Rusty says:

    #64
    Yep. Voting conservative this time around. The guy you put into office has turned out to be something of a poseur. Can’t a guy just eat his waffles in peace?
    Dope.

  83. Danger says:

    Donald,

    Which comment # were you refering to? I looked back at the comments by Mr. W. and could not find one referring to the Clinton/Lewinsky affair.

  84. donald says:

    “Slept with a 21 year old intern”.

    I believe W was referring to Clinton’s sexual assaults on Monica Lewensky.
    I believe W is a very nice person, was keeping it polite, family friendly if you will!
    I wasn’t really calling him an asshole.

    donald,

    It was Clinton that was the whore, he would sell his own country out for a dollar, paper dollars or political capital, it didn’t matter to Bill.

    Monica had more of a tramp vibe to her.

  86. donald says:

    Whore, sexual predator, deviant, psychopath all work for me. He’s a despicable piece of shit.

    But she is definitely a whore, a slut, the whole ball of wax. I ain’t letting her off with a freebie.

  87. donald says:

    She had orfices and he had what I’ve heard described as a deformed penis. I guess that made them a couple in Washington speak.

  88. Mr. W says:

    I should have been more precise in my writing. Bill never “slept” with Monica in the carnal sense. As Bill himself stated in his defense at the Monica-gate deposition, “Eatin’ ain’t cheatin’!”

    I wonder if it hurts when they take out your morals in law school.

  89. BJTexs says:

    This nostalgic walk down Clinton memory lane has me running back upstairs for another shower. donald: May I suggest DeCaf?

    With regards to Danger’s #83: Mass politicians will pretty much do what they want in their own special interest. That was clear when they changed the special election rule originally to avoid Romney picking a Republican for Kerry’s seat. Of course they then changed it back so that Deval Patrick could pick a Dem to fill Teddy’s seat. Of course they will do everything in their power, shamelessly, to prevent Brown from upsetting the applecart in the Senate. They are stolidly immune from shame and outside criticism.

    It’s an outpatient procedure, I’m sure.

    The humorectomy comes later.

  92. Lazarus Long says:

    Ah, the fascist thugs are plotting to thwart the people’s will:

    “Scott Brown swearing-in would be stalled to pass health-care reform”

    “The longtime aide and confidant of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who was handpicked by Gov. Deval Patrick after a controversial legal change to hold Kennedy’s seat, vowed to vote for the bill even if Republican state Sen. Scott Brown, who opposes the health-care reform legislation, prevails in a Jan. 19 special election.”

    ******

    “Today, a spokesman for Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin, who is overseeing the election but did not respond to a call seeking comment, said certification of the Jan. 19 election by the Governor’s Council would take a while.

    “Because it’s a federal election,” spokesman Brian McNiff said. “We’d have to wait 10 days for absentee and military ballots to come in.”

    Another source told the Herald that Galvin’s office has said the election won’t be certified until Feb. 20 – well after the president’s address.

    Since the U.S. Senate doesn’t meet again in formal session until Jan. 20, Bay State voters will have made their decision before a vote on health-care reform could be held. But Kirk and Galvin’s office said today a victorious Brown would be left in limbo.

    In contrast, Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Lowell) was sworn in at the U.S. House of Representatives on Oct. 18, 2007, just two days after winning a special election to replace Martin Meehan. In that case, Tsongas made it to Capitol Hill in time to override a presidential veto of the expansion of the State Children’s Health Insurance Program.”

    oh. speaking of the whores and sexual predators this should have gotten more attention I think.

    For the second time in the last few months, conservative Republicans in one of South Carolina’s counties have voted to censure Senator Lindsey Graham for his congressional votes.

    ***

    The resolution sharply criticized Graham for voting for the White House’s bank-bailout plan.

    In other areas, the resolution attacked Graham for his support of Democratic-sponsored climate-change legislation known as “cap and trade.”

    The one-page resolution goes on to accuse Graham, who easily won re-election in 2008, of repeatedly demonstrating contempt toward Republicans who support freedom.*

    More and more I think this is Princess Lindsay’s last term.

  94. Mr. W says:

    Due to Obama’s defense and foreign policies, by 2014 the radioactive US Capitol building will be occupied exclusively by feral dogs.

    So yeah, I guess you could safely say that this is Lindsay’s last term.

  95. B. Obama says:

    It is…um…radioactive, but perhaps it is…um…because of Bush.

    can we just sort of take a mount and admire how eager eager eager fascist cunt Frank Lautenberg is to stomp on some kid with his shiny new jackboots?

    New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg, who was briefed on the arrest, said authorities found Jiang with “sheer, hard police work” of sifting through records and following leads. But he expressed anger that Jiang faces a charge he described as a “slap on the wrist” and will only be given a fine of about $500.

    “This was a terrible deed in its outcome – it wasn’t some prank that didn’t do any harm – it did a lot of harm because it sent out an alert that people can get away with something like this,” Lautenberg said.

    The senator called Jiang’s actions “premeditated” and said even though the his actions were relatively benign, “what he did was a terrible injustice” to the thousands of people who were inconvenienced.*

    Our little country is starting to really really suck really really hard.

  98. happyfeet says:

    that says mount. mount. instead of moment…

    I don’t even want to know how that happened.

  99. sdferr says:

    The moment was mounted and got screwed, along with the people of the United States when the citizens of NJ re-elected that piece of shit Lautenberg.

  100. ThomasD says:

    it did a lot of harm because it sent out an alert that people can get away with something like this,” Lautenberg said.

    AS opposed to say, confirming a blatant tax cheat as Secretary of the Treasury?

  101. geoffb says:

    Or as opposed to blatantly running right over the NJ State laws to get elected in the first place.

  102. cynn says:

    donald: as long as you stay classy, I’ll stay sick.

  103. donald says:

    It never ceases to amaze me that there are those who will not call sexual abuse and criminality what it is. There are few worse things that a person could do than to use government power over women to be able to get a piece of ass.

    Think what kind of game that piece of shit must have had, that he had to prey on young and economically vulnerable women to get blow jobs.

    You go ahead and accept that Cynn. I’ll stay over here in my cave and surrounding areas not sexually assaulting vulnerable women.

  104. Pablo says:

    “This was a terrible deed in its outcome – it wasn’t some prank that didn’t do any harm – it did a lot of harm because it sent out an alert that people can get away with something like this,” Lautenberg said.

    Well, people can get away with stuff like that when a TSA scrub abandons his post.

  105. geoffb says:

    “This was a terrible deed in its outcome – it wasn’t some prank that didn’t do any harm – it did a lot of harm because it sent out an alert that people can get away with something like this,” Lautenberg said.

    When he says this about, for instance, how he became a Senator this time, to name one of the lesser “terrible deed[s]” done by his Party, then he will be believable. For now he is just some stage prop mouthing words deemed suitable to maintain power.
