“First African American nominee”? The literal and figurative whitewashing of Warren Harding continues.
>>”They identified the spider using the internet,” she said.
It was probably downloading hawt spider pr0nz; after all, you can’t get broadband speeds in Afghanistan.
Picking Lieberman would piss off just about everyone, except Joe Lieberman. So I encourage this choice.
…spider has somehow … learned blogging skills. You say that like it’s difficult. If you had 8 hands, we’d see 4 times as many posts, right?
I don’t want to see the people of the Gulf Coast in (more) danger, but at the same time, the hurricane hitting when Bush is scheduled to speak proves that Mother Nature favors Barrington O’Bama.
[re=72982]sezme[/re]: They do have 8 hands. Ken and Sara each have two, Jim has one, and Intern Juli has three.
Whenever I see Lieberman and WALNUTS! together, I catch myself looking for their retirement community bus in the background. They always look like they are on their day trip to the mall or Target, and it makes me feel guilty for not volunteering to go play checkers or bingo with the other old people at the home.
The camel spider was found in its underpants, in the basement, asking its mom to toss down another bag of Cheetos.
Rove was finally able to separate Lieberman and McCain by physically squeezing Lieberman’s nostrils shut so he could no longer breath. Once he released McCain’s dick, a few whacks to head with a Denver Police Hobo Hippie Pacifier Baton reminded him of his true place in the Republican fold.
[re=72984]SuperRounder[/re]: Maybe God doesn’t care about FIVE AND A HALF YEARS or maybe he just hates Walnuts.
[re=72984]SuperRounder[/re]: Then let it skip the Gulf Coast entirely and freakishly hit Minneapolis.
Picking Lieberman would prove that McCain is a maverick. A maverick is a horse (of course, of course). And while it might not prove that McCain is a whole horse, it could just prove that he is the southern end of a north bound one.
One of the highlights last night was the discussion that the GOP may name a woman as the VP candidate. That’s sort of like them saying “So what if you got a black guy as your nominee. We have a disabled vet and a…and a…and a…a woman! Yeah, a woman! So there!”
Here’s my question when it comes to the whole Rove – Lieberman thing.
Doesn’t Rove work for FOX News now? That’s sorta like the Media trying to rig the candidates in an election.
Can he get fired for this? He should.
By “fired” I mean set on fire. Publicly.
[re=72992]Terry[/re]: And that might have held sway except one of the names being tossed out there is Meg Whitman. So, not only a woman, but a woman with more money than Cindy McCain.
Ich Bin Ein Lieberman
[re=72980]Godless Liberal *[/re]: Wouldn’t it be awsome? The ‘Old Yellow and Droopy Dawg’ ticket. Additional benefit: Rush would have an aneurysm. World Shiney Happy Index jumps 5 points.
[re=72990]freakishlystrong[/re]:
Don’t you mean St Paul?
John Kerry seemed like he was ready to disembowel Karl Rove, then eat his entrails.
I’d like to offer my Obama campaign poster to the Wonkettes: http://storefrontwindows.blogspot.com/
Take a look, and feel free to blog it, print it, post it far and wide.
McCain/Liebermann would be the best thing to happen to the Constitution Party since, erm, ever. Three cheers and a lynching for the paleoconservatives! (and B O’Bama gets the white house)
Wonder what Cinny and Hadassah would talk about obackstage? “Hey, I know we must be loyal but Barry’s got game”….
[re=72980]Godless Liberal *[/re]: Oh, I don’t know about that.
I think Lieberman would find a way to be sour about it, too.
[re=72988]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: So Rove went to Colchester after separating Walnuts and Leiberman?
Wait, the post article says that McCain is hunkered down on his ranch and forgoing even his routine trip to Starbucks.
Fucking elitist.
It’s amazing how exhaustively the Repukes worked to get the media salivating over the divide between the Hillary and Obama supporters in their unsuccessful attempt to hide the much greater rifts between themselves. Any one of McCorpse’s VP choices will cause great dissention. Ultimately, McCorpse will single-handedly ignite a massive GOP family feud from the pandering, deceit, and stubborness that is the foundation of his campaign.
[re=72999]Monsieur Grumpe[/re]: I do, I’m congested…
“[Romney] helps McCain deal with the economy, because he can speak to the economy with a fluency that McCain doesn’t have”
So he’s the economy whisperer? Can he speak to the animals too? ‘Cause someone needs to know how to talk to Rove.
deep down in AZ with the palm trees
many years removed from camp with vietnemese
there lived a war mongering soldier named johnny mcsame
go johhny go
johnny mcsame
(or something like that)
Note to Karl Rove: See, Lieberman won’t bow out for the good of your candidate. Isn’t he a dick? You guys have to deal with him now, have fun. I mean you, Karl, are the most evil scumbag in a party full of evil scumbags, but Lieberman can outdo anyone in being a pure dick.
Off topic, I just heard a song that would be a good campaign song for Sen Hopey.
“Stand” by Sly and the Family Stone. I know it’s not catchy but the lyrics are a perfect fit.
Either that, or “Dance Wit’Me” by Rick James. However I think the PUMAS might be offended by the line “shake your body all over me woman.”
On August 13th Wonkette blogged about a man who prayed for a deluge to engulf the Democratic convention’s outdoor stadium rally for Barack Obama on Thursday night. Petty? Yes. Small minded and vindictive? Certainly. Many people of faith even believe that it is wrong to pray for the misfortune of others. But that particular Republican wanted people to pray for rain to disrupt a convention and impede its coverage.
Galatians 6:7 says “A man reaps what he sows,” and if you ask for rain you can reap a whirlwind.
I certainly wish no one harm. Not the Democrats nor the Republicans in their conventions gathered, nor, least of all, the people of New Orleans. They have have had more than their unfair share of visits from the Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse–Rain, Wind, and FEMA.
I view report with regret that Hurricane Gustav has the potential to be a monster, and is headed in the general direction of New Orleans. If it strikes the Gulf Coast, it may do so at a time when it upstages the Republican convention news coverage from Minneapolis. Those who prayed for rain on the Democrats may reap what they sewed.
[re=73015]medievalist[/re]: Why isn’t the turdblossom in jail?
[re=72993]HollowBrain[/re]: Same question? I mean they treat him as though he’s some balanced pundit, although it IS FUX…
[re=73005]Godot[/re]: He wouldn’t be sour, that’s just the way his face looks, like he’s eaten a bagful of Sour Patch Kids and he’s trying to act all tough like it wasn’t that sour.
ah! not only does WALNUTS! own millions of houses but he makes a “routine trip to starbucks”…elitist!
Anyone watching MSNBC with Joe Scarbourgh? What the hell is Brokaw wearing? Is he from the future or something?
Give the man a break, he’s been living in the Chocolate City for years, let the man relax a bit in the Land of Wonder Bread.
[re=73017]supremecourtjester[/re]: it’s pouring here in Virginia, so maybe God is just bad with maps.
Tell those brits not to worry. Karl Rove isn’t an actual spider, although he does belong the class Arachnia — he’s a solifugid, non-venomous (though he delivers a powerful bite) and eats scorpions and such.
http://www.snopes.com/photos/bugs/camelspider.asp
[re=73017]supremecourtjester[/re]: Truthfully, a li’l rain might make for fantastic images from the stadium. A sea of umbrellas and raingear, with pinkish and happy faces with hot cocoa or whatever, is really photogenic. Looks like commitment and in-this-togetherness.
That said, I’m in total agreement with your post (and I’m a Buddhist).
God you’re right, I didn’t even connect the outfit to the general tall-T outfits that are so common in the City of Chocolate.
[re=73008]Servo[/re]: Well, yeah. And that’s why I’m pulling for a split that will give the Baldwin people some votes, maybe even some electoral votes, so that the GOP will be divided on two fronts (the right and the far-far-right).
[re=73021]Spiro Agnew[/re]: Haha I did a double-take at that shirt, too. But since he was sitting next to that lumbering, ghoulish asshat Mike Murphy, he didn’t look THAT bad.
Also re: the Greek columns: REALLY, Democrats? You don’t think anyone’s gonna run with that? Looking forward to the next McCain ad with Obama’s face super-imposed over scenes from Ben Hur and Gladiator.
[re=72993]HollowBrain[/re]: I don’t think Fox’ll fire Rove — after all, he’s living the dream of every damn pundit on that channel. However, it may interfere with FOX’s tax-free status as a church.
[re=73027]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Damn you, Wook! I’ll have nightmares until I die, after reading that Snopes entry and seeing the pictures. Big, hairy spiders that can run 10 MPH?
Sorry. I can’t be the only one suffering. Share the icky, people.
[re=73032]MrAgro[/re]: Yea why Greek columns, everyone knows the first Bush brought the “Grecian” vote into the GOP tent years ago.
Stevie Wonder must, must, must play “You Haven’t Done Nothin’” and dedicate it to George Bush and John McCain. That’s been my political theme song for the last few months. If he does that, I will forgive him for the time I used my hard-earned, bitter money to pay for “Conversation Peace”
[re=73037]Spiro Agnew[/re]: Ah but were they Doric or Corinthian?
[re=73012]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: … someone needs to know how to talk to Rove.
How about if Romney sticks Rove up in the cartop carrier, and hoses him off when he soils himself? Would you support him then?
[re=73040]MrAgro[/re]: DAMNIT, i knew this would be on the test….
Alright, it’s 20 minutes past 11. WAKE UP, sleepyheads and git bloggin! I have a full workday to waste and anime porn isn’t cutting it.
[re=73042]Mahousu[/re]: Only if he took pictures.
[re=73036]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: Hey what’s a few cases of the creepies compared to an expanded knowledge of the wonders of nature. It’s okay — you can thank me later.
So, if Maverick McCain picks Joe LIEberman, it means that Karl Rove’s lost ALL his mojo with the GOP? Cool, pick Joe, Juan. Not only will you flame out in the general, but it’ll stick an icepick into Rove’s skull, to boot. Two birds, one stone. Juan’n'Joe – CheekByJowl ’08!!!
Fuck, this is going to be delicious from here on out. Doesn’t matter WHO Juan picks; they’ll ALL alienate SOME segment of the basest base known to Man.
[re=72985]Godless Liberal *[/re]: Jim has TWO hands. He uses only one to type, if’n you catch my drift. [Not that there's anything wrong with ginger onanism....]
[re=73040]MrAgro[/re]: I always liked Ionic, myself. Classic, elegant, really make a living room, you know?
Denver Post has the caption wrong , “raging against the war Zach de la Rocha, center, of the band Rage Against the Machine” … unless Zach turned lesbian on us.
[re=73040]MrAgro[/re]: They look like doric to me. Corintian would be too elitist.
[re=73052]Canmon (the Inadequate)[/re] [re=73050]Doglessliberal[/re]: [re=73040]MrAgro[/re]: You’re all a buncha dorics.
if you can’t kick a man when he’s down, when can you kick him?

thanks for the link to the cool stones cover.
[re=73017]supremecourtjester[/re]:
I fired up the internet and checked on weather.com. Today’s weather for Denver – High of 77, abundant sunshine and zero percent chance of precipitation. God and Jeezus aren’t going to let the bitters rain on Hopey’s parade.
[re=73039]Inadequate Blackmail[/re]: I2I. Listened to that track on the way to work yesterday. That, and “Mistra Know It All.” describes Dubya to a T.

Just an update to whole whole Rove – Lieberman thing for the folks playing at home.

[re=73016]Schadenfried[/re]: My vote goes for Biggie’s “fucking you tonight.”
[re=73017]supremecourtjester[/re]: Complete agreement. That is all.
[re=73049]Canuckledragger[/re]: [re=73049]Canuckledragger[/re]:
It can’t be an icepick, it has to be a wooden stake driven deep by a mallet or other large hammer like tool.
And by tool, I don’t mean Liebermench.
Now, if you look for volunteers to do the deed, it won’t take long to come up with a list.
I find I can’t say Rove without preceding it with “that fat little fuck”………….

actually, it was announced yesterday that Nagin is returning early from the convention…which was met locally with a resounding chorus of who-gives-a-shit’s?..
the real wake up call was this piece about freezers…

[re=72991]supremecourtjester[/re]: I think Maverick is also a pr0n star. So picking Lieberman also means someone’s balls slapping McCain’s face.
[re=73138]anabellum[/re]: oh my god, that second link is unreal. “Hm, I have room for one more thing: a first aid kit? Another gallon of water? I know! The dress I wore on my first date with my husband!”
[re=72993]HollowBrain[/re]: Hey HB, I’m always amazed listening to the Fox Noise people welcoming back Karl Rove, comparing Rove to Wolfson, and O’Reilly & Company saying they’re so f and b. (And so the far right hates me too, by the way, he says). It’s always Republicans talking to Republicans on Fox Noise, and the Democrats who do show up are rapidly bashed once they leave the air. It’s just nonsense: Rove is on because even those who hate it, like to see his working. Why hasn’t he been arrested, though. No one can answer that question. Kerry, though, did exact some revenge last night.
Here’s my poster again, feel free to blast it all over the net: http://storefrontwindows.blogspot.com/
Rove trying to stop Lieberman and push Romney. Even if McCain listens to him or spurns him, Democrats get an easy punching bag. What’s this I feel…is it……gratitude…towards…Karl Rove? Mittens or Holy Joe, fingers crossed.
