a wide mirthless grin…

That’s not a grin it’s a rictus.

And by the way, that creepy chortle makes my flesh crawl.

DaPug,
I was indeed referring to Mr. Bogg’s earlier post of May 21, in which, in a moment of rage and despair at certain Clintonisms, he stated

We won’t vote for her. The reality on the ground for us is that we do pretty well for ourselves under a Republican administration and I would be willing to take my chances with a solidly Democratic congress, but without her.

I was referencing (in an attempt at humor) TBogg’s own words. I am something of a yellow-dog Democrat myself, and I would have voted for Hillary with a certain lack of enthusiasm had she won the nomination. I personally am all for moving on to unite the party and whip the old guy in front of the green sign.

As to your question, “Who’s Beckham?” you’re not from around here in TBoggville, are you? Come back to this site late on any Thursday evening to be introduced to Beckham.

VonZeppelin, many of us “elitists” do well financially in Republican administrations because they cut our taxes and their policies redistribute income upward. I didn’t vote for it but I ain’t apologizing for it either.

I’ll still vote Democratic because I want to see everybody get an even break, see some semblance of fiscal sanity restored and I want the war over. I do realize, though, that I will probably have to pay some higher taxes to achieve those things. As long as I can still afford a latte at Starbuck’s, I’m OK with it. I suspect the TBogg household may be in similar circumstances.

I know your reference is to an earlier post TBogg made about Hillary. Hillary campaigned against us elitists but I’m not bitter. The bitterness over Clinton has to end at some point guy. It’s over and it’s time to move on.

Who’s Beckham?

I was thinking he should choose Judi Giuliani as his running mate. I mean, two bat-shit crazy, power-hungry doofuses out there spreading the conservative gospel, while Mrs. McCain stands in the background glaring and sending telepathic laser beams into Judi’s skull, while Meghan dances off on the side wearing a sweatshirt, high heels and clown pants.

The TBogg household, he has told us, always does well under Republican administrations. They will be in high cotton when McCain/Beckham are in power.

McCain might borrow someone’s Bassett Hound for a VeeP…Just to liven things up a bit…

They are going to have to ratchet up the “Obama is a smooth talker, he’s a sweet talker, he’s got the talky talk talk thing, and poor Johnny McCain is just a straight-shootin’ war hero, how oh how can he compete with that silky smooth talkin’ smoothie?” To manage expectations for when JMac gets creamed in the debates.

He could borrow Freds pickup for stumping. Yeah, he could get a pine box to lay in and rest, then stand on it for the stump speech. That would work good, wouldn’t it? Just trying to help…

Actually, like the problems he has raising his arms over his head, that rictus smile is due in large part to having his face bashed in over the course of a few years.

IIRC he had his jaw and cheek bones broken several times by Vietnamese captors.

So yes, it’s fucking creepy, he’s fucking creepy and I hope with all of my black heart he takes after Mitt or Fred and runs just as successfully as they did.
