Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) called for a thorough review of the video game ratings process in the wake of “Manhunt 2″ receiving a “Mature” rating

Pretty weird sentence there.

I mean, the HRC/Manhunt thingie.

Lieberman is convinced that pressure must still be kept on Iran. The U.S. and its allies need to “turn up” economic and diplomatic pressure on Iran, to convince its regime to negotiate an end to all its illegal nuclear activities, he said.

As the NIE noted, Tehran probably halted its nuclear weapons program “primarily in response to international pressure,” which “suggests Iran may be more vulnerable to influence on the issue than we judged previously.”

There is a point of diminishing returns here. Enough threats & sanctions & they’ll be back building a bomb, just for self-defense.

Tbogg, you’re burying the lede here.

Isn’t it a lot more significant at this point that Clinton thinks it’s worth making a stink about this than that Holy Joe does?

That’s what I thought. Her strange, pander-driven obsession with video games is one reason why I won’t vote for her except as a last resort. Aren’t there slightly more pressing problems she should be focusing on?

Uh, Spencer, don’t you know the children are our future? What’s more pressing than video games? Huh? Social Security? Health Care? The War? Our Crumbling Infrastructure? Underemployment? Posh! If we focus on the important issues that keep our children wrapped in a cocoon of safety, all that little shit will work itself out.

unfuckingbelievable

More beating around the bush from TBogg. I’ll come back when he sorts out his feelings and tells us where he stands in clear, unambiguous language.

Yay, images *and* quotes on the front page

I’d love to go to Alternative Universe Number 237b (where Gore won in ‘00 and ‘04, and K-Lo actually got it on with Mitt) and find out what all these bloggy things are saying about VP Lieberman - I mean, he’s still the same weaselly shit but now he’s Veep…

I thought Manhunt v2.0 was Jeff Gannon’s new website with the crappy web platform, “read more” buttons and lots of purple? Of course it is heavy with graphics and pictures! And the Pre-Friday Random Ten has nothing to do with music or iPods. Don’t even ask about the Basset pictures- trust me!

This Socrates must be stopped, he is corrupting our youth and making them question their elders.

Hmmm? No, I said dancing, it is corrupting our youth and leading them to lustful urges and making them question their elders.

What’s wrong with your hearing? I said pool halls, it is they that will destroy America’s youth, and must be stamped out before we lose a generation to wanton sloth, gambling and questioning of elders.

You really should get your hearing checked, I clearly said pinball arcades, corrupter of youth, dens of wanton sloth and slouching and questioning of elders.

Hmmm? Yes, I did say video arcades, you finally heard me correctly, a waste of time and money and magnets for nefarious characters and questioning of elders.

Like I’ve been saying all along, violent video games are corrupting our youth and leading them to violence - and if I squint hard enough, probably questioning of elders, too. Must be stamped out!

“Pong” has led us inexorably to this.

And I’ll concur with Ms. Buttocks - HRC’s participation is more noteworthy. We expect this crap from Sore Loserman, but you would hope that, as she seeks the nomination, she’d keep her unfortunate DLC tendencies in the closet.

I’m still waiting for Crooked politicians V1.0, The Stupid, It Burns!
Unfortunately it will only be available in used Atari cartridges.

That settles it for me: fuck Hillary.

Uh, as it were.

But: the obnoxious little homunculus from Connecticut?
We have a win-nah!

HRC gooper lite. I cant tell you how pleased I am to see her campaign careening out of control.
As for Joementum, aren’t agents for foreign countries required to register or something?

spencer, just how much time do you think HRC spent on this? Probably just long enough to say, “Sure, why not?” when Lil’ Joey passed it around looking for co-sponsors. She has a “strange, pander-driven obsession with video games” to about the same extent that W is a churchgoer.

As someone who spends many hours a week playing video games, I couldn’t care less if Hills frowns disapprovingly in the general direction of Tits-n-Guts IV: The Squickening. Putting ratings on video games is a sop to the family values crowd, and will be about as effective in keeping games out of kids’ hands as putting Playboy and Penthouse was in keeping them out of my hands when I was a kid.

Signing a letter on Rape Gurney Joe’s stationery disqualifies Hillary Clinton for the Presidency. I don’t care whether than was the entire extent of her involvement, it’s enough to say: NO, lady, you have shown bad judgment and cannot be President. Period.

As Joe would no doubt tell you, if you had any interest in listening to the grating sound of his mewling whine

I used to love Droopy Dog, and now this insufferable, warmongering prick has ruined it.

HRC signed on to the crapweasel’s proto-bill just to get some mommy-cred. That doesn’t excuse it in any way, and any attempt to pander to the crowd that thinks she’s got a vagina made of steel and Vince Foster’s nutsack is, well, totally misguided, because there is nothing she could ever do to get the Hitlery crowd on her side, so why bother? Shows poor judgement on so many levels……

Shorter HRC: See! See! I DO have values–I DO!

with that Joe “bag of assholes” Lieberman, there must be some connection between video games and brown muslims who must be destroyed

Everyone knows your browner Islamofascists over here are buying video games at Wal-Mart to ship to Iraq, so they can disassemble them and turn them into IEDs over there.
