As the next critic. But (1) spell her name right; it's Rachael. And (2) she doesn't really use 'prepared foods.' I know she's annoying as hell but find a better target; this was pretty lazy.

I will never understand this. 80 votes my ass. I'd ram stimulus down the GOP's throat with 51 until they cried. We have huge majorities in both houses and we have to kiss their ass? Come on, Barack! You MUST know what kind of people these slimebuckets are! Come here and read a few Elephantman posts if you don't believe us!

Everyone with a job pays taxes. Payroll taxes all count; income tax isn't the only factor. As far as tax cuts for those who pay "no" taxes, how about the billions that sociopathic jackass weasel Bush lavished on corporations?

Next: The U of Chicago says Obama was a professor. Two comments on that: (1) who the hell cares? and (2) try the 'fake birth certificate' riff next time.

And ... Social Security is nowhere near approaching insolvency. But gee,too bad privatizing went nowhere, huh? We'd be in the chips ...

Why should the blatherings of Bobby Rush matter one iota? He's a jackass and anyone with a brain cell sees it plainly. Reid screwed this up; Blago won the pissing match but will soon be a footnote. Let's move on, as they say.

Obama 'scandal tainted' and 'elected by racial guilt'? God, I love you people. Keep it up, please. And by all means, nominate Sarah in 2012. We're begging you. A nice 61-39 win by President Obama would make some excellent history.

Obama sucks. Everybody thinks so. Wingnuts ... steel-spined Democratic Senators like Harkin, Kerry, Feinstein, Rockefeller, Reid ... even-tempered pundits like Krugman, the Hillary supporter, and all the rest. January 10, and no recovery yet? Nice plan, Messiah Man.

365-173. Recognize it?

Why let the GOP say it when you can too? Pile on, liberals! Meet the new boss, same as the old boss! With all due respect, give it a fucking rest or just join the goddamn Greens and be done with it.

Hey, the guy sucks. I read it here; it must be true. Every fucking day.

You are so full of shit sometimes it amazes me ... and I share your views on most things. Could it be that Obama was bullshitting Steph because Georgie is a sniveling little shit? No ... it must have been the righteous critics! Hey Glenn -- write something today about how Obama has not yet given Salon reader Tangerine a million dollars from the bailout fund! I need the dough!

And used her name, and letters from his listeners! Be careful about hacking!

NO ONE is clamoring for a return to the Fairness Doctrine. Camille, the fac that you took this question seriously proves once and for all that you are whistling out your ass. I defy ANYONE to cite a single instance of a Democratic elected official or serious observer arguing for the return of the F.D. This is wingnut nonsense that finds a home between the ears of the Karas and Camilles. For God's sake, if you want to argue, quit building straw men for once.

I sat here wondering what one could say to Steggo. There's so much evidence over decades that whatever the hell 'conservatism' is, it's a crock. You boiled it down to the most recent nugget.

Not after this shallow arrogant sociopathic beady-eyed soulless weasel stole eight years of my life, the national life and the actual lives of tens of thousands of people. I have confidence in Obama but we will NEVER get that time or those lives back. I swear to God I saw this happening the night of Nov. 7, 2000. Deep down, we all knew Gore was dead, and I'll never forget watching Rove and Karen Hughes on Nightline that very evening, and thinking, "It's over. Every bit of social progress and economic justice ... gone." And then came the second worst tragedy of the decade, 9-11 ... and the fucking press helped turn this piece of human garbage into Churchill. I hope he dies with festering boils. And fuck you, Elephantman, preemptively, wherever you are.

You "appreciate his commitment to the safety of this country"? When did that kick in? Aug. 6, 2001? "You've covered your ass now"? Are you kidding?

How the hell do you know he 'cracked' and 'Operation Bojinka' was foiled? You hear that from Rush or O'Reilly? Or was it Jack Bauer? He doesn't really exist, you know -- he's a TV CHARACTER. You people amaze me with the ability to create your own reality. Professional interrogators know torture is useless on top of being immoral and against evetything this country used to stand for. So cram it up your bojinka.

You're all over the damn 'net with the same shit every two seconds -- Obama is a tool of Wall Street; Obama equals Bush; Democrats suck in general. You're an attention whore and a giant fucking pill. If Obama was FDR and you'd tell us his wheelchair was made by child labor. Give us a break and wait another day or two before your next missive. I'm sure Obama is doing something Cheney-like as we speak.

You truly have nothing at all left, do you?

That said, your last comment might be the pithiest one you've ever made (unwittingly or not) because guys like Sirota basically agree with you, for real. Although I still think Sirota is a shit-disturber for its own sake. But don't think I'm going soft: you guys have earned every bit of the horrendous nationwide ass-kicking the voters delivered in 2006 and 2008. And Bush deserves prison (he'll already know a lot of the inmates). But I guess his TWENTY-TWO PERCENT approval rating will have to suffice for now. If he had a soul, it would be suffering.

PS: Please do what you can to get Palin on the 2012 ticket. An Obama 62-38 win would be fun.
