allow me to interject, redux

Everything old is new again.

And again.

77 Replies to “allow me to interject, redux”

  1. cranky-d says:

    The situation now is totally different from the way it was then, in many ways that I will get back to you on as soon as I figure them out.

  2. cranky-d says:

    It might be a while.

  3. bh says:

    Wait, wait, I have it… nope, sorry.

  4. newrouter says:

    will nor luap serve bildeburgers at the inauguration?

  5. B. Moe says:

    Notice the comments of that second link. Jan. 08 it was a given Hillary was going to be the Democrat nominee.

  6. leigh says:

    Much as it pains me to say it, Hillary would have been a better president.

  7. newrouter says:

    In truth, he’s been solid across the board, and, again, rather seamless in his ability to tie everything together coherently. Herewith, then, my earlier columns on those Santorum issue positions: on economics, on foreign and defense policy, and on the role of faith in politics. And, despite the supposed boldness by Newt Gingrich on the subject of judges, the truth is that it is Santorum who has long been a signal leader in the fight for a better judiciary, as I explained here:

    Also, almost unique among Republican senators not on the Judiciary Committee, Santorum fully grasped the importance of federal judgeships and fought hard on judicial nominations when others weaseled out. His staff usually provided more of an entrée to conservative judicial enthusiasts than did the staffs of the Judiciary Committee or the party’s Senate leader. And Santorum understood that judicial fights aren’t just important in principle, but good politics too, because the public agrees with conservatives on judges.

    “Much as it pains me to say it, Hillary would have been a better president”

    Well, it’s hard to imagine how she could have been worse.

    Obama sets a pretty fucking low bar.

  9. leigh says:

    Don’t think for one minute, Lee, that if something like 9/11 happened while Hills was cooling her high heels in the Oval Office that she wouldn’t have rounded up all the Arabs here and detained them. The Surge would have looked like a flyover. We’d have gone nuclear and turned the Middle east into a parking lot. This is her country, dammit! and no one is going to break her stuff.

  10. iron308 says:

    I doubt it. But had she reacted as you imagine, it would have been nothing more than a weak on defense lib overreacting to world events to prove how tough she was.

    And likewise you comment regarding Hilary being better than Barry. They have the same fucking pedigree. Why does anyone think she would not be trying to transform the country into the socialist paradise of the lefts wet dreams? In fact, while she likely would not have had as big a majority in congress to give her what she wanted, she would have been 50X more energetic in working for it.

  11. MissFixit says:

    Yup. We are doomed.

  12. leigh says:

    But had she reacted as you imagine, it would have been nothing more than a weak on defense lib overreacting to world events to prove how tough she was.

    No. She wouldn’t have been weak on defense. I am not making myself clear or you are misunderstanding me: Hillary is not Bill is not Barry. She would brook no nonsense on her watch. She has her hands tied as SoS. If she was SoD things would be different and that is why she isn’t there. From Defense Ministers are coups made.

  13. geoffb says:

    Mark has a few words this time too.

  14. newrouter says:

    nothing says “i’m different from baracky” like hillarycare

  15. McGehee says:

    Of course Hillary would have been weak on defense. Bill’s still breathing, isn’t he?

  16. newrouter says:

    “She would brook no nonsense on her watch”

    yes she did that especially well with her marriage.

  17. leigh says:

    Bill is her cash cow. He’s worth more alive.

  18. geoffb says:

    I see there are people who believe that Bill was more than just the frontsman and Flakcatcher in Chief. Remember the A-Team? Bill was Templeton Peck to Hillary’s “Hannibal” Smith.

  19. LBascom says:

    The only positive a Hillary scenario might hold is she and Pelosi would have been so busy comparing dicks and pulling hair, nothing would have got done.

  20. leigh says:

    Geoff, what does Mark Levin have to say? An executive summary is fine, if you don’t mind.

  21. newrouter says:

    hillary is baracky with a pants suit. total losers.

  22. newrouter says:

    and they were competing with john edwards. trifecta.

  23. leigh says:

    I never said I wanted her to be prez, nr. They both pee sitting down.

  24. RyanBacon says:

    My official Iowa prediction:

    1. Santorum

    2. Mitt Romney
    3. Ron Paul

    Gingrich and Perry, the only two guys who can overtake Romney, are weakened significantly.

  25. newrouter says:

    “Gingrich and Perry, the only two guys who can overtake Romney”

    what in nonsensical responses? go mittenscare 2012!

  26. newrouter says:

    “I never said I wanted her to be prez, nr. ”

    you go grrrl

    “Hillary would have been a better president.”

    pw psycho

  27. bh says:

    Murfreesboro is in the house again.

  28. newrouter says:

    it is very important to listen to the wymans

  29. bh says:

    I suppose we should just be happy that RyanBacon (hmmm, one can google that) isn’t using his incredible brain power to try mobying again.

  30. bh says:

    This is the Elf one, right? The one who works at the sewage plant and draws sexy cartoon pictures?

  31. cranky-d says:

    RyanBacon? More like LyinBacon.

    Am I right, folks?

  32. geoffb says:

    Late getting back. Levin says that the Virginia GOP changed the rules about the signatures only one month before the due date making it harder for anyone without Romney like resources to get the filing done right.

  33. bh says:

    Okay, yeah, RyanBacon is the Elf Radio moron.

  34. newrouter says:

    mr. bacon is haram in my book because sharia doesn’t like it

  35. leigh says:

    Got it, thanks geoff! Stupid limited bandwidth issues here today.

  36. geoffb says:

    Go Indiana go.

  37. bh says:

    Here’s RyanBacon’s first Moby run.

  38. geoffb says:

    The “occupus

  39. bh says:

    Google image search for Jewish Octopus.

    Yeah, they’re being really, really subtle. Speaking of which, did you guys know that the 1% regularly feasts on the blood of gentile infants? They say it greatly helps them “get their bankstah on”.

  40. newrouter says:

    nor luap !!12!! the “go to the sea tour”

  41. bh says:

    Cheers, nr. Good one.

  42. bh says:

    I really wouldn’t be surprised to see an #Occupy Drive the 1% into the Sea march. The Paulbots could show up and hand out pamphlets while pretending not to understand what the big deal is.

  43. bh says:

    Speaking of which, what exactly is the ADL doing? Don’t see any mention of the bad Occupy craziness in their press releases. Yet, I do see:

    “ADL expressed disappointment at Lowe’s Home Improvement for removing its advertising from TLC’s reality show “All-American Muslim” after the company received anti-Muslim complaints from a Christian conservative group.”

    If that’s not fucked up, I don’t know what is.

  44. newrouter says:

    it might be fun to see how many earmarks nor luap !!12!! got from the proggs. kooks united are tribal that way. a bildeburger with cheese please.

  45. RyanBacon says:

    We’ll know in 24 hours if I’m lyin’.

    I’m still not sure what a “moby” is, but I’m to tell you the truth as I see it. That truth is: Romney will almost certainly win the nomination. He is not the candidate that represents your beliefs. He is the candidate that has the best chance to beat Obama in November. I want Obama to win in November. I would greatly prefer it if a genuine Far-Right whackadoo was able to take it away from Romney, just as you would prefer it if the Democrats were to nominate Al Sharpton in 2016.

    It’s not a terribly complicated situation to understand.

  46. bh says:

    Have you considered expressing these opinions in sexy cartoon form?

  47. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I’d take Al Sharpton over Barak Obama any time. At least with Al, you know exactly where you stand with him, and without having to read between the lines.

  48. bh says:

    All I know is that Obama and I really enjoyed the Rev Wright sermon where he was talking about how evil octopuses were always trying to steal our money. Obama leaned over to me and said, “Just imagine drawing that dirty octupus with big anime eyes and a tight spandex outfit. That’d be sexy as hell, amirite?”

    Good times.

  49. Ernst Schreiber says:

    By the way, did Jeff call Mitt Romney a John McCain in this post?

  50. bh says:

    I think he more interjected something that could be inferred that way, Ernst.

  51. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Y’know what else is a dirty tentacled monster that likes to get it’s suckers all up init?

    Leviathan

  52. newrouter says:

    “He is the candidate that has the best chance to beat Obama in November”

    noooooooooooooo!!12!!

    President Ronald Reagan – Liberty State Park

  53. newrouter says:

    “It’s not a terribly complicated situation to understand.”

    stupid peeps are like that. go krugman !!08!!

  54. newrouter says:

    a recession is when your neighbor losses his job,
    a depression is when you lose yours,
    a recovery is when baracky loses his!!12!!

  55. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Interesting that newrouter should remind us of the Gipper. As I recall, the smart folks in 1980 thought we’d all be better of with someone electable —like Howard Baker or George H. W. Bush— than a Far Right Wackadoo like Reagan.

  56. RyanBacon says:

    bh,

    You’re mistaking me with Joel. He’s the artist.

  57. Ernst Schreiber says:

    a recovery is when baracky loses his!!12!!

    When you say things like that, it scares the MODERATES and INDEPENDENTS and sends them flocking back to SCOAMF because they hate—hate—hate negative attacks like that (when Republicans do it).

  58. bh says:

    Which new, exotic Murfreesboro species would you have me believe you are, Mr. RyanBacon? Remember, midget cat serenader and masturbation enthusiast/cartoonist are already taken.

  59. newrouter says:

    I want more than anything I’ve ever wanted, to have an administration that will, through its actions, at home and in the international arena, let millions of people know that Miss Liberty still “Lifts her lamp beside the golden door.” Through our international broadcasting stations — the Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and the others — let us send, loud and clear, the message that this generation of Americans intends to keep that lamp shining; that this dream, this last best hope of man on earth, this nation under God, shall not perish from the earth. We will instead carry on the building of an American economy that once again holds forth real opportunity for all, we shall continue to be a symbol of freedom and guardian of the eternal values that so inspired those who came to this port of entry.

    Let us pledge to each other, with this Great Lady looking on, that we can, and so help us God, we will make America great again.

  61. newrouter says:

    ABC NEWS – At a Pizza Ranch restaurant in Newton, Iowa, a member of the audience asked Santorum to react to a controversial attack leveled by liberal Fox News contributor Alan Colmes, who called the Santorum family’s approach to grieving for their dead baby boy, who lived for only two hours after his birth in 1996, “crazy.”

    In a Fox News interview on Monday, Colmes characterized Santorum’s decision to bring the deceased child home an example of “some of the crazy things he’s said and done.”

    But in Iowa this afternoon, Santorum explained that it was important for his other children to “know they had a brother.”

    Santorum’s wife, Karen, who was at the event and listened to her husband talk about the experience, began to weep.

    “It’s just so inappropriate,” she said as tears streamed from her eyes.

  62. B. Moe says:

    Alan Colmes is just bitter because he got turned down for the Cryptkeeper on HBO because he was just a little too creepy.

  63. cranky-d says:

    We have a hard time keeping track of your personalities, LyanBacon, when we bother to think about it at all.

    You’re boring.

  64. RyanBacon says:

    bh,

    Joel’s friend and former roommate. He told me about this place. You guys kept thinking I was Yelverton, though.

  65. JD says:

    Why do you insist on making an ass of yourself? And why do you insist on tarnishing the reputation of bacon?

  66. Slartibartfast says:

    1) I don’t think RyanBacon is Yelverton. There just isn’t any resemblance there at all.
    2) RyanBacon is and has (as far as I’ve ever noticed) an open & enthusiastic supporter of the D party. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
    3) I suggest cutting him a little slack, given that he’s been in relatively pleasant disagreement, here.
    4) Cutting slack, above, is not the same as not disagreeing with him, etc.

    But maybe I’ve missed out on some prior antics. If so, enlighten me.

  67. bh says:

    You’ve missed out on some prior antics, Slart.

    Of course, we’re to believe that was his roommate. In related news, Gleen had a cabana boy posting comments from his computer.

  68. bh says:

    Or you could just do a site specific google search on RyanBacon at proteinwisdom.com.

    I think I’ll keep fucking with him when I feel like it.

  69. Jeff G. says:

    He first showed here as a Moby, slart. He now pretends he has no earthly idea what a Moby even is! Why, it’s a mystery! Honestly, why must you all be such big meanies? He only wants to converse, you see — and he’s been very upfront about who his is and why he’s here!

    Except when he hasn’t been.

    He earned the distrust. Simple as that. If you want to cut him slack, cool. I have no problem with that. Me, I’ve made my determination.

  70. bh says:

    (Here, Slart. And, for the lulz, here.

    Sometimes it’s fun to troll trolls. Simple as that.)

  71. Slartibartfast says:

    Oh. He’s from Murfreesboro. Well, that shows something.

    Y’all have nothing to prove to me, just couldn’t remember what he’d done to merit the reaction, is all. Memory is the first thing to go; can’t remember who told me that.

  72. Slartibartfast says:

    …and now that I’ve looked back some more: yes, moby. A clumsy one, too. Deserves everything he’s gotten here, and more.

  73. Squid says:

    I think it’s cute that he assumes our memories are as short as his.

  74. […] quick look at Santorum and not the Prog’s cartoon of Santorum (jeff at protein wisdom lays it out very well), and I’ll try to expand on the issues in upcoming […]
