I like HER but she needs to distance herself from her son!
There is nothing funny or entertaining about the rape of prisoners.
-
What's the matter with Kansas?
Get on the horn with Thomas Frank and get a reading from him on this.
-
Kathleen Sibelius and her Magistrate husband...
are extremely proud of their son, John, who designed the game and has reportedly used the governor mansion's address as the point-of-contact for its sale.
I guess all the anti-Hillary types will come out of the woodwork and say this is "suspicious timing" yada yada yada.

Don't Drop the Soap is funny??????
Not!
-
Talk about an endorsement without national projection . . .
Just when you thought that there could be nothing more boring than GWB's last State of the Nation address, Mrs Sebelius proved you wrong.
The immediate response of the Obamanites after the Maxine Waters endorsement announcement was to underline the lack of national projection of the good congresswoman from California (and also smear her with corruption charges). Well, poetic justice didn't take long as this snooze feast of a speaker, who lost the chance for the democratic party to give one last forceful response to the president, has endorsed their blessed child.
Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Claire McCaskill and now Mrs. Sebelius is a bunch that frankly make the Clinton, Clark and Albright trio behind Hillary in Iowa, look like the cast of Stump on RedBull.
And don't forget . . . Google Don't drop the soap and Sebelius together and see what comes up.
-
So, the governor of Kansas has a son with some shortcomings
I guess I'll just vote for McCain.
-
Looks like the Hillarians are about to go on a feeding frenzy of hypocrisy
I bet soon this thread will be full of more Clintonistas foaming at the mouth to vilify Sebelius (and therefore, by association, Obama) for her son's actions...
Yup - scorning and vilifying a stong female politician because of a sleazy male relative.
Nothing hypocritical there at all, eh?
-
brother..
I thought Sebelius's response to the SOTU speech was pathetic. There's no other word for it.
This "let's-sing-kumbaya-and-make-nice-with-the-GOP-crocodiles" thing from Obama, and Sebelius and god-knows-who-else, was old when it started, and it's now getting pretty ripe.
Of all the things she could have said last night, she said the most lame-ass shit imaginable. Short of having that quisling mofo lieberman deliver the response, I can't imagine a more demoralizing experience.
would someone tell me again? How is Obama really any different from the most amoral DLC triangulator? How is he really any different from Clinton? Because I'm not getting it. If Sebelius is made the Vice-candidate, Obama DESERVES to lose.
Down there where they both live, they're both kin to Rahm Immanuel, and it seems to me the last thing we need is more of that shit in power.
Our politics are so broken...if the best the Dems can do after seven years of proto-fascist mis-rule by a bunch of corrupt, monarchist crony-capitalists is this robotic governor of a small midwestern state begging the monarchist-in-chief to play nice...the Dems deserve to lose.

VERY Concerned
Her son's project is gross and obnoxious. Does she have any responsibility for it? I say yes, for raising a son who thinks prison rape is funny. Worse, she let him use the governor's mansion address for his business. Get a life, or at least a PO Box, you knucklehead. And her response, well he lives here, well he's 23! I guess raising a son who mooches off you (an the taxpayers of your state) AND thinks prison rape is something to be "proud" of and is good for your political career? Give me a break.
Man, what is wrong with people?!
The question is, who has the tin ear, Sebelius, Obama, or the DNC? Everyone on this one, I think.

The Game
It's not so bad. Take a look at the web site:
http://www.gilliusinc.com/dropsoap.html
The name of the game is a joke that all American boys use. The game does not appear to focus on what happens if you drop the soap. The Governor's son is a hip art student at the Rhode Island School of Design, a top world-rank art school.
The game is supposed to be art, not a mass market product. It is a board game, not a video game, as has been reported erroneously.

Welcome
Just wanted to say that it's great having you in charge of The War Room, Alex! I look forward to getting to know your style and proving to you what a genius I am, of course...
-
If Obama gets the nod
He will need to come up with a VP candidate with national name recognition and some serious foreign policy chops! Wesley Clark and Joe Biden come to mind. The governor of a small Bible Belt state does not.
Besides, think of the bumper sticker-- Obama/Sebelius sounds like the name of an obscure newly discovered comet. Or a fungus.
-
VP?
Did you hear her follow-up to bush's sotu?
Uninspiring, to say the least.
-
An honest question
I've never heard of a primary candidate stating ahead of time who he/she would pick as a running mate. It seems like it could be a good tactic. Or would that alienate high ranking party members who think they have a shot at the position themselves?

@ had_enough
"This "let's-sing-kumbaya-and-make-nice-with-the-GOP-crocodiles" thing from Obama, and Sebelius and god-knows-who-else, was old when it started, and it's now getting pretty ripe."
Yep. I was disgusted at the Governor's bipartisan refrain last night. The Reps have proven over and over that the only time they are willing to "come together" is when the Dems are doing it THEIR WAY. PERIOD.
Pelosi and Reid must be so pleased that one of our top candidates for the nomination is seeing it their way: roll over and play dead for the Reps. Might as well vote for McCain or Romney -- what's the diff?
-
"The Difference"
I repeat: Any of the Democrats will get out of Iraq within one year. Any of the Republicans will stay there (e.g. McCain, "100 years"), and possibly invade more countries for no good reason.
What do you mean, What's the difference????
P.S. None of the Democrats would allow torture, but Romney, Guiliani, and Huckabee love torture.
-
the difference...
@lori..
I'd never vote for a GOP candidate. Never. There are clear differences between the GOP and the Dem candidates. The last GOP candidate I could have voted for (not that I was old enough, but you get my drift) in good conscience was Eisenhower. And in the choice between Stevenson and Eisenhower, I expect I'd have voted for Ike.
Which makes sense, since Goldwater marked the end of the old GOP, and the beginning of the radical-right takeover of the party.
Rest assured, there are big differences between the GOP and the Dems and the best thing we can do from here on in is vote in more, and better, Democrats (as Firedoglake puts it)...
I am concerned that corporate America has bought its way into the Dem party, and as a result, some things will never change in Washington. But that's inevitable. The best thing to do is elect Dems of good conscience and get them to do right thing--get them to remember the Commons, and protect that Commons from Corporate rapacity.
You get another GOP Prez? All that's out the window. I think another GOP Prez would be truly disasterous for our country right now. Until the GOP is utterly changed, it should be a marginalized, regional party with a permanent minority in national government--what Norquist predicted for the Dems, that is. The little shit had the right idea..just the wrong party.. ;>
