Original article: Nobody's yes man

Most pundits have all of the prescient insight of a lamp post.

You're just as well off going to see a palm reader or a tarot card specialist.

I just tune 'em out or turn 'em off when they begin their talking head blow hard routine on the boob tube.

There's already enough inane, nonsensicle noise bounding around all over the place.

@Jameka

Some real "doozies" have been known to fly out of your yap, if Joe B. Goode stays above your level of discourse, he should be able to rise above the crap.

That would be Walsh.

@G. Greenwald

I don't know who's "right," but without fail it can't go wrong for one to take note that you're nearly always the most righteous.

@gneubeck Catch-22

Hillary and company can lay plans for 2012, but if Obama's followers get let down in 2008, Hillary might as well run as dogcatcher general in the lone star state.

If the children of Hill don't scratch the backs of the children of Obama, there will be no third act at all in Hillary's bid for Hill for president drama.

What's cookin' cat lady?

@Kitt

Yeah, we'll see if the PUMA platoon decides it wants to lash out at the democratic party since they've already blindly scratched their own eyes out.

Sometimes you get a box full of crap.

@patricia

I'd suggest as a "fervant" supporter of Clinton you step up to support Obama, because in all due course, should he not win, Hillary won't have enough loose support to even begin to start again.

You'd better take a broader outlook on what your interests really are. Take a good hard look. No give and take, no reciprication, no bright promising outlook for a new Clintonian political vocation.

Mull it around and consider whether or not it makes sense, then hold the magic number of 18 million over our heads, and see if it really pays the rent.

Does any such animal still actually exist?

Just keep up that busy buzz

@Jameka

You were born with fuckin' cobwebs in your mouth, all of your dreams of progress, all start with the old south.

And that's the complete doo-da-doo-da truth, speak your fresh gospel, to today's American youth.

We don't need no geeks to win

We need real Zorbas

"Tutti Frutti..?"

Your pale rendition of the Little Richard classic sounds pretty sad and tired, you think it's maybe time the 'ol odonnell retired?

Sunday, August 24, 2008 04:48 PM

Not very inspired maureen

We expect a higher quality

From our resident crank on the scene.

@Jameka

In your case the old south whether it is where you reside or not, is much much more than a gone with the wind tourist spot, to which fact you're quite predictably blind, because in your specific case dear Jameka, it is your frozen state of mind.

Sunday, August 24, 2008 08:07 PM

@Mr. Maranci

You already sound as though you're stirred to a panic, why such banal blubbering, why so tiresomely frantic?

The DNC convention has barely begun, and you're already sounding like an early ape man, watching with worried apprehension and attention, his first eclipse of the son.

Do settle down sir.

@rnostbakken

There are many peculiar potentialities in life, perhaps certain attendees to the convention, will introduce an element of militance and spite.

It'll certainly be interesting.

I think Walsh is saying, maybe just a little bit less pedantic and straight to the point. And rhymes never hurt.

Man!

This is funny. Have you seen the new John McCain ads which are popping up her at Le Salon? One of the ads is a picture of McCain with Joe Lieberman's army slung over Big John's burly shoulder, both are looking far away into the future, imagining all of those belly loads full of bombs they're going to drop on Iran in January. It just makes my eyes well up...what a touching and tender photograph.

@-mission accomplished

Congratulations to you and your mom,

Or how I learned not to trust John McCain

And his maybe willingness to use the bomb.

I too respect some of your opinions...

But I'm damn sure not gonna get down on bended knee, when in fact I find you remarking, where I most vociferously disagree.

@hutman

Don't you understand this delerious crank yet?

It's really quite simple, there's really not a whole hell of lot to get.

Let maureen rattle off to the four winds high atop her soap box, let her go on and on and on until the crowing of the cocks.

She's not an arguer or a debater or any kind of U.S.A. hater.

No.

She's a writer of soliloquies, it's her own little quaint and snidey way, of just shootin' the breeze.

Give her a break for her own sanity's sake.

mazboot maureen?

Anybody ever tell you you're the queen of mean?

You and Leona Helmsley of course.

But she died last year

So you're the uncontested champion.

mabruk!
