A “gauzy, feel-good commercial … paid for with broken promises”?
Hmph… I thought he was describing Sarah Palin.
And, btw, Sarah, women don’t like you because you’re an empty-headed conniving nitwit baby machine that only cares about advancing your own career and steam-rolling over anyone in your way.
Of course, I say that in a nuturing, value-free and supportive way…
Well, no one knows gauze better than the man with the flawed jaws and short paws who prefers tactics of shock’n awes and eloquent discourse of “blah, blah blah”s”.
I’m just impressed that he said something besides ‘cunt.’
Broken promises are legal tender? MAN, I am a bajillionaire.
Of course, I am going to spend some of my earnings on charity.
Oh, ka-ching, another broken promise.
Note to self. Don’t spend quite so much time hanging around outside the Afghan Ministry of Culture in Kabul.
Don’t worry, China. Sarah Palin will use her majestic teets to supply milk for all billion of you.
ha, “the ambitious $4 million infomercial airing Wednesday evening portrayed Obama as American as a Chevy”
he was born to suck your face
Melamine, the new MSG.
What? Women who don’t like Parah Sailin’? I know women who like Parahsailin’.
All you need is a good Nieman Marcus harness, a good tow rope, a 72-year old tugboat that doesn’t peter out on ya and a lot of hard blowin’ wind to stay airborne and not fall down into the shark pot.
I almost felt sorry for John McCain when he said that. He looked a little like a kicked puppy. But then I looked at the stain on my rug (i.e. my 403B) and turned around and kicked him again.
What’s that? Bailout money for cat owners? Where do I apply?
[re=155756]Serolf Divad[/re]: I’d actually pay to see a 30 minute, unscripted Palin interview with Chris Matthews.
[re=155757]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: I *have* a fat cat. Does that count? How much do I get?
Don’t hate on Montgomery Country (or MoCo, as we call it).
I don’t care if they’re slothful, as long as they vote!

McCain is still bitching about public financing? Yeah, that’s a winner.
Wow… stories about how every one is poor and has to work forever and can’t afford to get sick and John McCain calls it ‘feel-good’. Only a Republican.
And Hannity, that POS, was on with RUDY last night and saying how awful and ‘Oprah-esque’ it was. If the Repervicans attack Oprah, this thing is a lock. Her minions are innumerable.
Hannity also claimed Hopey was in an ‘Oval Office’ setting. The Oval Office is done in knotty pine? Who knew?
[re=155759]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: I might go for that, but I’m sick of Chris Matthews asking a question, pausing, then asking it in a different way just as someone starts asking.
But for whoever does the Palin interview that will eventually occur (after the election)… I just want them to ask: Do you believe in witches and witchcraft?
[re=155759]Johnny Zhivago[/re]:
Problem is Matthews has a habit of sleazing on his female guests. Wouldn’t surprise me is he asked Palin to spin around for him and ended up telling her what a knockout she is.
The hopemeister nailed it.
If he’s not elected, I predict the earth will be covered in a purplish chocolate rain, and then frozen over with vanilla ice for 5 and a half thousand years. At the end of this cycle, a bald man and a women with a very cold vagina will take over the earth and deny we ever existed.
I thought Hopey’s infomercial was great, but someday, somebody is going to have to invent a new metier for campaign ads besides the slow, soft-focus dissolves and pans, the tinkly piano music for happy thoughts and the minor key dischords for The Bad Thing. As in, shit, we’re out of Sweet-n-Low this morning (D minor 7th).
I imagine that McCain’s plaintive whinging about “broken promises” was much like what Carol said to him when she found out he was nailing some rich cheesy slut while she was at physical therapy in excruciating pain.
If she’s so worried about her kids seeing what her detractors say about her, then LEAVE THEM HOME…or here’s a novel idea Sarah: keep them in school!!!
It’s sickening how she’s constantly dragging them around for photo ops and then has the audacity to complain about it.
Also…one small, teensy weensy little reason why a lot of women don’t like you is you want to take away our RIGHT to choose!
How difficult is that for you to comprehend, Miss Alaska??????
Hey John, it is THIS BIG.

McCain dinna cry during the Barrymercial? CRUSH HIM.
Bringin’ my lawn chair and a blankie to the polls in MoCo next week fer sure!
[re=155847]sealhugger[/re]: Ladies and gentleman, prepare to watch thousands of videos and cell phone pictures of polling place activity, featuring my least favorite “rock the vote” group: Diebold and the Hanging Chads.
In Montgomery County, MD, the divisions are over what KIND of Democrat you are. Sure, there are some Republicans in Chevy Chase, Potomac, and out along the northern still farming areas, but they’re a bit overwhelmed by earth dog granola crunching Dems in Takoma Park, immigrants and working class people in Wheaton, Langley Park, and Silver Spring, soccer parents in Rockville, and the chardonnay liberals in Bethesda and all the neighborhoods trying to claim to be part of Bethesda.
The FDIC’s answer? More sliding-scale mortgages, postponing the inevitable another five years! Duh! How about an alternative solution — how about enforcing the usury laws already on the books, for credit cards and for mortgages!? Quit allowing bankers to charge usurious rates and sell each other preposterous instruments, and the credit market will take care of itself. It’s called “regulation,” and it works. Deregulation doesn’t — even Godfather of Dereg Greenspan admits it. Look at the era of regulation — FDR-Carter — vs. Reagan-now and how the markets bubbled and burst under dereg while showing much more steady growth in the regulated era. (More on this later today on my blog.)
notoriously slothful 18-to-29-year-olds. – this is the last and only time I will be in a category with 18 year olds. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
The Infomercial That Wet A Thousand Hankies? For a sec, I though you were talking about conservative wankers and Palin’s starbursting convention speech…
MoCo is my Maryland hometown…Silver Spring. Go vote, sloths! Be real Americans!
Needed more epxlosions and car crashes. I can’t concentrate for 30 minutes without random acts of onscreen violence. And no, a long, hard eight-year rape of the world doesn’t count.
[re=155944]tinybubbles[/re]: [re=155898]Terry[/re]: Used to live across from the Pook’s Hill Marriott. A, Monkey County, what an earthly paradise.
[re=155746]The Heckle[/re]: *Starbust!*
[re=155745]Darehead[/re]: *Starburst!*
Please stop, guys; my sides are hurtin’.
[re=155757]Johnny Zhivago[/re]: Fuck yeah! I’ve spent over two thousand dollars on my two cats this year. They don’t even like me.
[re=155900]lawrenceofthedesert[/re]: The Depository Institutions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act, passed in the first year of Reagan administration, specifically exempts FDIC insured institutions (read: the banks & S&Ls that issue credit cards) from state usury laws. We’re in the money, we’re in the money ….
My mom’s an election judge in MoCo. I’ll have to tell her to take her vitamins!
Oh Sarah Palin, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say many women don’t like you because you really don’t understand what sexism is. How are you going to fight for us if you can’t accurately pinpoint the meaning and implications of sexism? Oh yeah, and you might want to talk to your running mate about putting women’s health in air quotes. It might be mavericky to have total disregard for women’s health and to actively take away our ability to make our own medical decisions, but that’s something I, and many other women, want no part of. And it disgusts me to no end to see you, someone so anti-woman in policy, try to sound like you’re fighting for us. GAH. FIVE AND A HALF DAYS.
“Slothful” is just some fancy librul word for “stoned.”
paid for with broken promises
Yes, I still haven’t received my Obama bin Biden magnet for my donation. COUGH IT UP, BARRY!
I don’t know if Obama’s informercial will sway any undecideds. He should have hired Ron Popeil.
