Is it too much to ask that Mitt give the Donald a haircut?

Mittens was pushed over every edge available, long, long ago. Yet another third-rater adulated in his little social set, convinced that what he is, is perfection. Never knowing just how third-rate he is.

I got as far as the object being both shiny and transparent (like a soap bubble, maybe?) and then bailed. Nobody pays me to read Jen Rubin.

And your obligatory Princess Bride reference:

“INCONCEIVABLE!”

“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. “

Good Lard, I was watching the Moning Joe gigglefest this morning and Joe Scarborough asserted that “we have to do something” about the slaughter going on in Syria. What should we do? Dunno, but Obama has to “do something!” about all that killing in Syria of Syrians by Syrians.

Everyone agrees, “WE MUST DO SOMETHING!”

How ’bout we strap Young Joey Scarborough Jr. up in a U.S. Marine uniform and let him lead the charge into Syria and “do domething!”

Just one day after Memorial Day, and you’ve got a multi-milliionaire, Republican loudmouth slapdick, urging the President to jump into a fucking civil war of Syrians slaughtering Syrians to reach an unspecified, undefined END. Who do we support? What do we suuport them with? Dunno.

You want to “do something!” in Syria? How many dead Marines are you willing to see killed, boxed up and ship back to Dover? Is it important enough to send in your son or daughter?

Dumbasses.

You know what would make this story even more awesome? A tie-in to Brooks Bayne, that’s what.

Well, what do you know!

Yes Mittens, you focus on that 50.1 percent number instead of the Electoral College, and that should turn out well for you. Just ask Al Gore.

For of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these: “It might have been!”

Or, to put it another way, we need a new sign:

JUMP PULL YOU FUCKERS!

I get a kick out of reading how the media is in the tank for Obama in a newspaper.

That Romney has disclaimed any hint of birtherism is also no reason for the media to restrain itself.

If he had “disclaimed any hint of birtherism” he wouldn’t be palling around with Donald fucking Trump, you festering bag of pus. That’s like saying you’re disclaiming racism and then going to a David Duke fundraiser.

And it’s yet another indication of just how in-the-tank-for-Obama is so much of the media coverage

When I read crap like this, I can only assume that Rubin and fellow WaPo luminaries like Chuck Krauthammer and George Will are trying to correct it by being 100% in the tank for Romney.

How ’bout we strap Young Joey Scarborough Jr. up in a U.S. Marine uniform into a drone flying gaming console

I’d suppose that’s how that’d work out. It’s the new Texas Air National Guard….

Maybe one of Of-Mitt’s many stable hands could tackle that…

That last sentence from Jenny’s excerpt? Subtle, dear. Too subtle.

That Jennifer Rubin is “working” for the Washington Post is… well, it doesn’t speak well for them.

I figure the state of Hawaii is in on the game. They knew all along Obama was born in Kenya, and so many years ago they made up a birth certificate for the guy they wanted as pres. It’s a conspiracy I tell ya, a freakin’ conspiracy. The Donald had it figured a year ago but got temporarily thrown off the scent on account of a televsion show. But now it’s over and he’s back with his brilliant mind.

I was looking at one today that was complaining about how Obama does everything the extreme left wing wants. (I have to assume that the writer gets all hir information from Faux and Talk Radio.)

“….any attack on Mitt Romney is only to divert from Obama’s record…”

Romney, and his record, certainly deserve attacking, but if that’s ALL that, for example, some bloggers do (ahem…)
then, ignoring Obama’s squandering of an historic opportunity and of how much of George Bush’s policy he’s sustained in the sellout, is at least as deserving of scorn.

Obama’s pathetic record and his willingness to behave as a republican-lite (and sometimes, HEAVY…) led to the hammering we got in the mid-terms. That hasn’t changed, and I don’t think it will, before November.

Even if he manages to keep the White House, I see no chance for the democrats to take the House, and the republicans could very well take the Senate…which will leave us with another 4 years of “bipartisan” corporatist status-quo-protecting.

Let’s face it. Depending on events the democrats, liberal and blue dog, could find themselves on the outs and howling at the moon as the safety net is cut wide open in a full fledged austerity. Oh wait, that could happen under Obama too with a grand bargain of some sort.

You apparently can say any shit you like under Mittens,and he just kinda shrugs it off “aw shucks I wouldnta said it that way but that just his opinion.”

Hold it! Next man makes a move, the Mormon gets it!

Hold it, men. He’s not bluffing.

Listen to him, men. He’s just crazy enough to do it!

“ginger-topped ham slab Donald Trump”

Trump has been described many times in many ways, but TBogg, as always, delivers the unique insult. As people read Playboy for the articles, I read TBogg for the ginger-topped ham slabs.

ginger-topped ham slab Donald Trump…is a kind and caring description of the Donald. For insults …http://rudepundit.blogspot.com.au/search?q=trump

As I mentioned on my blog, because it pissed me off so much: http://halfspin.wordpress.com/2012/05/30/hacktacular/

Jennifer Rubin, February 2:

Obviously — at least to the entire press corps, most voters and 99 percent of Republican office holders and candidates — Trump is a noxious, self-serving figure who is not a serious political player, but rather uses politics to further his own financial interests. He’s crass and ostentatious, hardly the model for rich or poor.… It’s unseemly for someone like Romney, who is running as a serious executive, to associate himself with Trump. It undermines Romney’s message that he is the responsible adult in the GOP presidential race.

May she get hit in the face by an Israeli white phosphorus bomb.

Try it with a Julia Child cooking sherry slurred accent:

Aaand wee hal’ve a lightly-lee poached egg in Béarnaise sauce, sautee’d mushrooms in hashed broun’d poe-tay-toes… and finally a ginger topped ham slab on the side…. oooh! Such a delight!

The two-party duopoly is a desiccated carcass, an unremitting reminder of Empire’s slow and inevitable death spiral. We talk of candidates’ odd personal peccadilloes and boyhood transgressions while the edifice itself is crumbling before our eyes. But, then again, this is Amerika, the vaunted United States of Amnesia. We have the collective attention spans of a gaggle of house flies.

It gets old, the well-worn misdirection.

What opportunity did he squander? Be specific and show your work. And pulling some vague statement out of your ass that assumes O’bama weilds the powers of a King doesn’t count.

For extra credit, what should he have done instead? And again, pulling some vague statement out of your ass that assumes O’bama weilds the powers of a King doesn’t count.

Well, this reveals the heart of Rubin’s slobberfest over Mittens. Like her Ken-doll idol, she will, without a hint of self-awareness, contradict herself anywhere, anytime, to show the world that Jennifer Rubin/Mitt Romney have it all figured out.

‘I stand by whatever I said, whatever it was’ indeed.

“What opportunity did he squander?”

Wow! Have you been the first american to be kidnapped and taken to the Alpha Centauri star system for 3 and a half years?

The man came into office with more power and clout, and the mandate to use it to go after the assholes who had nearly ruined the country, than any democrat since FDR, and he’s laid down like a cur dog for them.

The jewel-in-the-crown healthcare “reform”, was practically written by the fatcats who are making obscene amounts of money off of sickness and aging in this country:

No single-payer system; not even a public option…

No re-importing of cheap foreign drugs, to force Lily and Pfizer to cut their prices…

No stripping of the health insurance robber baron’s exemption from anti-trust laws…

30 million new customers forced into their hands…

For weeks he let BP take a giant shit on the Gulf of Mexico and used NOAA and the Coast Guard and local police to try to hide how much worse it was than they were saying, and to block news-access to the damage that was done…

For 3 and a half years he’s hid under his desk, on fully equality for Gay people. He only came out when Joe Biden soonered him, and then only after Gays and progressives had gotten the living shit kicked out of us, in that N.C. vote, and even then, he STILL dug up John C. Cahoun’s and Strom Thurmond’s “states rights” bullshit, to try to cover his ass for his tepid and long overdue endorsement of the right of Gays to marry.

He wouldn’t even put his presidential throw-weight (what’s left of it…) behind forcing the DNC to help out with the effort to recall Scott Walker…and if you see him “walking the Union picket line in his comfortable shoes” you will let us know, right?

A few months ago, a reporter asked him why he wasn’t more critical of corporate greed and the machinations used to inflict it on the country. He answered:

“Because it would make Wall Street nervous.” (a half-a-point for honesty, I guess…)

And right here, dude, I will inform you that he was HIRED to “make Wall Street nervous”. In fact, instituting policies; passing legislation; having some bankers eating off of metal trays in Atlanta, that would have Wall Street shitting green nickels, was the only way that he could mount any kind of real salvage operation after 8 years of the savage idiocy of George Bush and the republicans that would start to turn the shit around…and instead of doing that, he checked into the GOP’s spay-and-neuter clinic.

And, IF he wins in November, that’s what we’re looking at; another four years of this inert kabuki bullshit.
That Romney would be worse, may get you to waving the “WE SUCK LESS!” pom-pons, but for a lot of disgusted progressives, the option of sitting this out and letting the assholes get in to reap the benefits of their ongoing policies which Obama has sustained, is looking better by the week.

You got it, blue dot.

The repubs as warbots? Take a look at Afghanistan, and some other places.

Repubs enabling huge corporate profits while the rest of us get jacked to the wall with wages perpetually shrinking relative to the cost of living? Hell, if I were a republican looking at Romney v. Obama, I’d be doing my nails, with a big, shit-eating grin on my face and telling my conservative friends:

“Relax. We’re covered!”

Republicans going after SS? It wasn’t a republican who picked Alan Simpson to co-chair the cat food commission, from which vantage point he could incessantly rip SS as “a cow with 300 million tits.”

No; we needed FDR and we got Herbert Hoover. Next.

I find it inconceivable that there are voters out there who will change their votes because Trump raised money for Romney.

No guilt by association. Check.

…what’s the latest on Bill Ayers?

for a lot of disgusted progressives, the option of sitting this out and letting the assholes get in to reap the benefits of their ongoing policies which Obama has sustained, is looking better by the week.

That worked great under Bush!

Thanks so much, TB, for laying that out. Again. You have clearly, and convincingly, demonstrated that Obama has been an unmitigated disaster.

So what I’ve decided to do in my little corner of the world is volunteer for a watershed cleanup, attend (and speak up!) at the school board meetings, write letters to the editor at our free community weekly, and who knows, maybe even run for local office…

Naaaahhhh!!!!

Biching and moaning on the internet is infinitely more effective.

Trump has said he doesn’t accept Hawaii’s Certificate of Birth because it doesn’t say Birth Certificate. Which is like saying a slab of ham is not a ham slab. Now that Mittens has released his *gasp* Certificate of Birth, what will Trump do?

So you have nothing.

Remember the ground rules are that you don’t get to assume that O’bama is King of the United States.

Most of what you are bitching about requires one of two things to happen.

1) He needed to convince (61) Senators to go along with what he proposed to do. Good luck with that, especially with assholes like you who can\’t stay focused on what is and/or is not possible to accomplish in the short time he had been in office (remember, people like you gave up on him before 2010). And then follow that up with dragging your lazy ass out to vote every two years.

Or

2) He needs to ignore the law. For example reimporting drugs is against the law. Most of what happened on Wall Street wasn\’t illegal (it should have been and in the past it was) and what was still illegal would take years to unravel, even if the SEC\’s enforcement arm hadn\’t been systematically destroyed by previous administrations and/or seeded with Wall Street Spies.

The country is messed up today because of clowns like you. People who are too stupid to realize that politics is a process and the other side is playing a long term strategy. People who haven\’t been paying attention to what\’s been going on for the last 30-40 years and then suddenly woke-up and wants everything to be fixed overnight.

Where I sit right now sucks less looks pretty damn good to me, because the alternative will be so much worse. You have to start off with sucks less, then you work on almost OK, then you get to headed in the right direction, and then so on and so on …

Thank you.

Note to lobbyists: It’s generally not a very effective tactic for influencing people to compare them to “cur dogs” and the like (especially when they are eddimated enuf to know that “cur” means “dog” so using them together tends to reduce your credibility, especially in a forum famous for bassets). Civility can be overrated when directed at your enemies, but pure insults tend to get you completely ignored. Engaging in the process means accepting give and take.

And you sound like someone most erudite in their daydreams…

A woman’s scream rose above the bedlam and suddenly a lovely, dark-haired girl was in Walter Mitty’s arms. The District Attorney struck at her savagely. Without rising from his chair, Mitty let the man have it on the point of the chin. “You miserable cur!” . . .

“Puppy biscuit,” said Walter Mitty. He stopped walking and the buildings of Waterbury rose up out of the misty courtroom and surrounded him again. A woman who was passing laughed. “He said ‘Puppy biscuit,’” she said to her companion. “That man said ‘Puppy biscuit’ to himself.” Walter Mitty hurried on. He went into an A. P.

“Remember the ground rules are that you don’t get to assume that O’bama is King of the United States.”

No, of course, he isn’t. He’s just the new head of Murder, Inc., deciding personally whom to kill, based on PowerPoint slides and wild guesses, and regardless of who else or how many get killed at the same time.

Oh, wait: it say’s he’s “judicious” about it, and takes “moral responsibility” when he kills innocent civilians.

So, he’s Tony Soprano with a law degree and fewer qualms about killing women and children.

Cruise missile liberals love war. As long as a liberal is doing it.

I know. Invasions are so much cleaner. No collateral damage there…

Nice biccie! (ETA: Shoulda said great biccie)

O’bama was the first?

Really !!!???!!!???

At least O’bama isn’t advocating war with Iran.

Or, do you thick he is lying, because of the little voices in your head.

Let me know when O’bama’s body count approach’s even .0001% of that of FDR’s or Truman’s.

Or for that matter, why don’t you show the same level of outrage for Bush I & Bush II throwing depleted Uranium all over the countryside during Dessert Storm and Operation Iraqii Liberation Freedom?

And you want me to get excited over a few drone strikes in the middle of a war an authorized use of force?

You need to find a sense of proportion.

Thanks for that Laika (that’s russian for barker).

You richly deserve a President Romney, as before you deserved a President Dubya, and on behalf of the human race, I can only say:

Thank you.

Thamk you, thank you, thank you.

And I’ll tell you somethin else for nothin, Sonny.

It’s morons like you who put Dubya into the White House in 2000, and I’ll never forgive you for it. Back then you ignorantly whined that there was no difference between Dubya and Al Gore, and I’m betting you supported Fucking Ralph Nader.

In doing so, you could not have done more harm to this country than if you were one of those flying a plane into the world trade center.

Again, let’s be clear on this: They don’t really know each other, as both have said.

I’d give money to the first person who calls in to Sean Hannity’s show and says “put up that picture of them again”, to see Sean’s response. There is no picture of the supposed BFFs who took lots of windy walks together.

Nicely said.

Dearest Willard:

It’s not 50.1 percent, you dumbfuck. It’s 50 percent plus 1 person.
