the most dominant period in the history of the Democratic Party was prior to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when the party turned a blind eye for many decades about what was happening to blacks in the south. You know, Katie, lynchings with luncheons and all those quaint habits of the Old South. So, don't give us all this self righteous shit about poor widdle Hillary having to stand the heat in the kitchen for which she had so much contempt. This party needs definition, but it doesn't need closet republikans with phony progressive veneers. Like you. Joanie Phony had it right: we don't trust her. there's no reason to do so. this primary season turned a very different way than all the power brokers, pimps, lobbyists, journalistic hookers, and self congratulatory "feminists" thought. Tough shit. Billious Billary have us all that jive about staying out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat, and now she's blackmailing Obama by threatening to blow up the kitchen if he doesn't pay off her mismanagement debts (as if she and Big Bill couldn't pay the thing off in a year of coast to coast bullshit tours). Playing persecuted only works if you actually are being persecuted. Billlary took the presumptive nomination and blew it. Sometimes the souffle falls. Cry me a river. Buy your own damned Kleenex.
Prius v hog? You dumbass, five people can ride cross country in a Prius in comfort and safety. O hog? Two drunks. We lived in Sacatamatta for eleven years, and got out before it became even more polluted, crowed, stupid, and violent. We lived in Arden Park. I worked downtown and took the bike path to work. On a bike that you pedal, not sit on like a leech. Three of our four kids were born at Kaiser not far off Watt. The city blows. We never go back, and I doubt we ever will. Have fun broiling all summer and sucking CO2 directly from the tailpipe of a Harley. Oink.
the MSM was the Moonlight Bunny Ranch for the Bush war machine. the NYT wasn't far behind. Anyone with internet access and an inquiring mind could have found out that the propaganda was at least 90% fabricated, that Saddam posed no threat at all, and the the PNAC fascists had been looking for an excuse to invade the middle east for ten years. Watch that fascist pap at your own peril. We watch the PBS newshour, Frontline, the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, and read newsprint and the internet. I can't remember the last time we watched CBS, ABS, or NBS for any of their BS. I can barely tolerate CNN and MSNBC. fuxxsnoose is not a news organization, but a straight up unfiltered mouthpiece for the RNC.
Obama picked up three more super delegates today. He is now 45 delegates short of the nomination. In related news, another Federal judge told the Clinton campaign to piss off with their Florida "disenfranchisement" horsehockey. So, bash billary or bitch about her being bashed. It matters not at all. the shrew is through.
Joe the Ho, senator from Tel Aviv, and Hagee are a marriage made in the Book of Revelations. Maybe the "Whore of Babylon" is a collective term. Fits both these self righteous jerks.
Talk about sound and fury signifying nothing. Flocks of pampered privileged white women holding a piss-a-thon about how yet another of billary's brain dead remarks came back to haunt her. It's the black guy's fault. It's the media's fault. Never, ever is it billary's responsibility, she who, six months ago, was so far out in front no one knew that second place existed. Her presumption was monumental. Obama went to work, organized like a man on a mission, out positioned, out thought, out performed, and did a number on Her Highness, who proceeded to whine about persecution. right. If this were a glimpse of her now impossible presidency- picking morons to run things, blaming everyone but herself, lying time after time after time, then we are well rid of her. Going in, I had nothing whatsoever against her, other than not throwing Big Bill's personal effects and his condom collection on the White House lawn. But she's proven to be mean spirited, two faced (or three, or four), boring, and utterly out of touch with everyone except semi literate white working class voters and the cotillion set that camps out here in a permanent state of cyber-PMS bemoaning just how unfair the would-be goddess has been treated. Edwards, who has more cred with what is now billary's base, was ignored because he lacked the novelty of a vagina or sepia skin. Candidates with resumes infinitely longer than Rodhams- Dodd, Biden, Richardson- couldn't get on camera. the media set up this race; it's so teevee friendly. And, against all expectations, and certainly mine, Obama beat her, straight up. Was is pretty close? Damned straight. A clear and irreversible loss, nonetheless. If she wants to be the turd in the punchbowl for another week, it's her right, and a legitimate thing to do. She does owe that to her very considerable following. But this approach to Michigan and Florida, so very reminiscent of the fascist approach to Florida in 2000, is beyond the pale. It's hard to believe James Baker isn't back there somewhere with Penn and the other idiots pulling levers. So, pass the canapes and let the pity party continue long into the night. It means, and effects, exactly nothing. Give Joanie Phony another ego massage; it's been minutes since someone told her that Copernicus was wrong, and that she- and, by extension, Hillary- are the center of the solar system. sisters are doin' it to themselves- or is it for themselves? In this instance, both. jeff
What's next? Menudo? this should send shock waves through the gay latino puerto rican washed up nineties pop fluff star community. very impressive.
