The GEO Stewards Council meeting will not end...

wobblie said...

Well, they are grad students.

dave3544 said...

And what they are discussing is very, very important.

dave3544 said...

Chris Matthews is apparently unaware that this election is all but over. He's now rambling on about how Barack really has to reach white male voters. Really has to reach out to them, say he understands them, will empower them to be a man by giving them jobs.

wobblie said...

I never noticed McCain was left-handed. That seals it for me.

lex dexter said...

chris matthews will be a great senator and you know it.

They can smell each other's breath at that table

CPS said...

did he just open with the exact line from the last debate?

dave3544 said...

My understanding is that Americans are angry.

Car Carpet said...

mccain's face

lex dexter said...

fannie mae and freddie mac never traded subprime mortgages.

wobblie said...

Still trying to pin the crisis on poor people, eh?

Anonymous said...

fanny and freddie mae?

wobblie said...

Now we're telling stories about conversations the other guy had with someone? Hearsay, anyone?

dr said...

Jesus. Finally home.

lex dexter said...

wobblie said...

Obama's a commie!

wobblie said...

Class warfare! Boom! I'm loving it! I want class war! I want class war!

I love "Joe the plumber"

And yes, O's a total commie

Anonymous said...

Let's ask Joe the plumber

wobblie said...

McCain's coming off like a jackass.

dr said...

Is Joe-the-plumber a real person?

Car Carpet said...

joe 6-pack and joe plumber are lifepartners

dr said...

cps - rum and coke this evening. I'm getting all domesticated.

mcCain's eyes look dilated

Car Carpet said...

personal economy: my vayne went up to $70 this week! wtf!

dr said...

er+bg: do you think maybe Obama dosed him? or maybe Ayers?

CPS said...

And here comes the pork-barrel-spending tirade and if we are lucky something about an overhead projector.

Anonymous said...

ha

dr said...

The pundits are going to love McCain for this spending freeze bullshit.

wobblie said...

He's attacking ethanol subsidies? And still trying to campaign in Iowa? Yeesh.

Anonymous said...

how much are these subsidies for ethanol?

CPS said...

boom!

Car Carpet said...

i wish they were standing this time

dave3544 said...

I just listened to the Joe the Plumber story when I was cooking...McCain seemed to come off better.

Did he just say he would replace ethanol subsides with sugar cane imports from Brazil? What happened to energy independence?

Anonymous said...

yes! nice call CPS!

dr said...

Good line about running four years ago.

wobblie said...

Oh, please keep bringing up Bush. He'll eventually go batty.

dr said...

I think McCain is winning. His policies are nuts and he knows it, but it's the kind of pablum the people want.

brown beard said...

This is bullshit

wobblie said...

Obama's not maverick-y enough.

Anonymous said...

now mccain is dropping his g's as well. a little lesson from palin

wobblie said...

Thrown under the bus by Obama! Boom!

CPS said...

Love being kicked to the curb by our guy!

dr said...

Good answer for Obama, if talking directly to McCain works.

CPS said...

Wobs--you are exactly right--keep pushing that button until he gets up out of his chair to send BHO to his room!

dr said...

I'm feeling some popularity in this teacher's union right here.

Car Carpet said...

mccain's going to need a piss break soon!

wobblie said...

Showtime!

Anonymous said...

mccain seems so smug here

dr said...

Obama is going to crush on his answer.

lex dexter said...

here we go...

wobblie said...

Kennedy and Goldwater. Not sure that's a comparison you want to bring up.

dave3544 said...

Obama made McCain go negative.

Anonymous said...

mccain doesn't even seem as smooth as gwb

wobblie said...

It's the first time McCain's offered proof!

dr said...

I tink widdle john is going to cry!

McCain didn't mention Ayers or Wright.

Cardinals! w00t! Wait, wha...?

Obama: Let's make this about issues not about character.

McCain: Obama is as bad as me, because he's running negative ads about issues.

wobblie said...

That rich commie bastard wants to take Joe the Plumber's money to buy negative campaign ads against McCain!

lex dexter said...

i agree with r + b.

dave3544 said...

The CNN tracker really doesn't care about Obama defending himself at all.

CPS said...

"probably"

Anonymous said...

careful here, Obama, about diagnosing this cynicism

dr said...

According to the fancy CNN tracker, uncommittted Ohio voters don't appreciate any suggestion that there might be racists in America.

wobblie said...

He's flailing.

dave3544 said...

Course, they also don't like McCain rambling about this topic either.

Reagan, all right!

dave3544 said...

This is McCain's issue. Why is Obama talking about it?

Why, why, why?

Killing time is the only thing this is good for.

dr said...

Is there some kind of a clock on this answer?

CPS said...

Just refuse to talk about this and tell Bob you want to move on . . .now!

Anonymous said...

yawn

dave3544 said...

Don't mention Keating. I want you to mention Keating, but don't do it.

CPS said...

woo hoo!!!

dave3544 said...

Fortunately that was 20 minutes of the CNN tracker staying flat.

brown beard said...

was that a "game changer"?

Happy marriage, barry. Congrats

McCain defending Palin...here we go.

dr said...

I eagerly await McCain's Palin hagiography.

wobblie said...

Was Palin, dare I say, a Maverick?

dr said...

A role model to women and reformers. You betcha!

wobblie said...

Bresh of freath air!

dave3544 said...

Polls show that Palin is the least popular of the four candidates.

CNN women hate Palin.

Anonymous said...

she saw corruption that contradicted her corruption

wobblie said...

Jesus Christ, I feel like I've landed in an after school special.

dave3544 said...

She understands special needs families, but she doesn't believe the government should have anything to do with it.

wobblie said...

New thread is now available in the post immediately above you. Watch your heads.

I have never had a more influential role model than Sarah Palin. Ever.

He's talking about her like she's fucking 10 years old.

Anonymous said...

i'm proud of her...a bit patronizing

dr said...

Go 'bama!

brown beard said...

So, Obama isn't allowed to say that Sarah Palin isn't ready?

brown beard said...

thanks, minker...
