And Bobo has been hilarious trying to chastise everyone in the media for blowing up the Palin story--Leher responds with "okay, and for more on the Sarah Palin story we go to . . ."
I was wondering what we were doing with the non-white, non-black count. At Obama rallies hereabouts, we usually just count asians, generically defined.
From dKos: Update: Fred says the Palin pick has us in a panic. Well, sure. If finding enough time in the day to write about all of her problems is a panic, we're in a panic.
Man, Joe's reminding them of some of McCain's lowlights in their eyes - the Supreme Court compromise? He's sucking any enthusiasm out of the crowd that Thompson might have given them.
Wait, I thought he was about to compare Obama's record before the presidency to Clinton's, not tick off all the republican objective Clinton accomplished.
When will someone point out that it's "public will" not "public opinion" and that, technically, serving the public's will is what our representatives are supposed to do?
That's one white-ass convention!
ReplyDeleteits about time! did you miss Bachman?

ReplyDeleteIt's not just a political speech, it's a bachelor party roast!
ReplyDeleteI was digging that pin too.
ReplyDeleteJust jumping in to ask: did they just suggest that John McCain's dating a stripper helped him survive prison camp?
ReplyDeleteWow. "These are the kind of people John McCain understands."
I was wondering what we were doing with the non-white, non-black count. At Obama rallies hereabouts, we usually just count asians, generically defined.
ReplyDeleteJohn McCain was a POW? Who knew?
ReplyDeletewhoa. pierced groin = TMI.
ReplyDeleteDating a stripper=presidential character!
ReplyDeleteDating a stripper and having dysentery.

ReplyDeleteSo I'm guessing that Obama's relationship with Lieberman as a mentor has broken down somewhat.
ReplyDeleteThats right joe, John S. McGain-More Money
ReplyDeleteThere's a big chunk of that hall that's empty. More Kramer's please!
ReplyDeleteI thought we established McCain got the courage to do these things by dating a stripper known as the Florida Flame.

ReplyDeleteMan, Joe's reminding them of some of McCain's lowlights in their eyes - the Supreme Court compromise? He's sucking any enthusiasm out of the crowd that Thompson might have given them.
ReplyDeleteHe wouldn't have taken on corrupt GOP lobbyists - like Charles Keating!
ReplyDelete"another go along partisan politician"
ReplyDeleteSay that ten times fast. Joe Lieberman is a pro.
I'm sure they're all wondering who the hell invited him now.
ReplyDeleteI hope the kind word begins "one night at a key party in 1997..."
ReplyDeleteWait, I thought he was about to compare Obama's record before the presidency to Clinton's, not tick off all the republican objective Clinton accomplished.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I like about 20 billion square inch TV screen is that it's demure and tasteful. Not showy like the Dems.
ReplyDeleteWashington bureaucrats will fail where the Vietnamese succeeded.
ReplyDeleteJoe is officially sucking the GOP's dick... That stuff about Sarah Palin being a maverick

ReplyDeleteWhat I'm getting from tonight is that John McCain puts country first.
ReplyDeleteDavid Gergen said some Ds will be "annoyed" with Lieberman's speech. That's an understatement.
