Keith Olberman Gets Carried Away at MSNBC Studio, Choking on Over Lathered Tongue
No worries, he’s fine now. Thanks to gravity and hot air.
“You (Mr Bush) are never responsible” was the nicest thing he said but only after a too long, embarrassing diatribe of hate and hubris that dishonors the Barack Obama campaign, I lean toward and he so obviously supports. He got unusually carried away, throwing paper at everyone and yelling not to use any telecom services because THEY are in waiting to get him when he is not looking or when he is or we are looking at dirty pictures or, or, or.
Is a Private Time Table a Time Table or a McCain Dirty Trick?
Romney evidently agrees that he said - paraphrased, “There is no question Bush and Maliki must have a series of private timetables they speak about (between themselves) but we do not want them (terrorists in Iraq) to wait in the weeds until we are gone”
McCain has characterized that statement as supporting a timetable during the time frame when McCain very publicly campaigned against any kind of time table and for the Surge and against Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld finally fell under the weight of McCains’ continuing criticism.
At the time, many thought he was politically dead because of his support for the very unpopular Surge. How is it, that it seems to have become even more unpopular today because nobody is talking about it
Hidden Camera on Mayor Bloomberg
Dear Mayor Bloomberg,
Surveillance is illegal without a warrant.

epublicans McCain, Romney, Huckabee and Paul inconclusively debated at the
Ronald Reagan Library last night. The biggest non-part of the debate was California Governor Schwarzenegger announcement he will endorse John McCain. Otherwise it was largely inane bickering and much sound and fury about nothing. YAWN.
Golfer Tiger Wood says he is “impressed” by Barrack Obama. Meaning absolutely nothing. He should stick to golf.
Bush Changes Constitution, Opposition OK With That
Enough energy to power a fleet of hybrid cars sufficient to provide transport to the EPA has been spent yapping about all the things Bush does to violate the constitution and take our privacy and other rights away, so say nothing of the right of non citizens. Too bad it is all wasted.
Bush & Company has decided, based on the acceptance of his legislative power gained through his signing statements, that the Republican still have an “effective” majority in both houses. After consulting in private with the Rover, he figures many millions of dollars of campaign money can be saved and allocated only to fight for those seats really necessary for sufficient silent sympathy to his signing statements which of course most presidents have used, just not as creatively as he has, due significantly to this silent compliance and abdication of the vocal opposition.
McCain and Clinton Won Florida with Consequences
McCain won Florida Tuesday; Romney was second despite spending millions, Giuliani was a fading third followed by a distant Huckabee and inconsequential Paul. Rudy Giuliani quit immediately after the results were posted and endorsed John McCain Wednesday. Clinton beat Obama and Edwards neither of whom campaigned in Florida. Democrat John Edwards also dropped his campaign Wednesday morning. Speculation is Edwards has made a deal to be Attorney General or maybe for an Ambassadorship.
McCain Takes Florida
My predictions right after news outlets declared McCain the winner of all of the Florida delegates:
Rudy will drop out and endorse McCain and settle for Secretary of Defense. Huckabee will stay in and try to become the VP for either McCain or Romney. Romney will resolve to spend more of his personal fortune and keep the financial pressure on McCain. McCain will win if he can spend enough in the next SEVEN DAYS.
Hillary Trumps Kennedy
Despite a full on assault by the Kennedy Clan from their beach heads in Massachusetts and Florida and despite Caroline Kennedy’s first real active campaigning for a specific candidate, Hillary won most of the non delegates tonight in Florida besting Ted Kennedy who turned on her and Bill officially just recently.
Anyone who successfully takes on the Kennedy mystic, money and mojo deserves kudos for shaking his hand at the State of the Union speech by that other guy.
Seat the delegates, seat the delegates! Michigan and Florida1 Michigan and Florida! Supreme Court here we come!
Kerry Endorses Barack Obama - Despite Florida for Hills
The Obama bandwagon is picking up steam in many quarters and being referred to as the candidate of change by more Democrats every day. There are increasing and not so subtle references to taking the high road, for instance as opposed to Hillary’s pandering in Florida, evidently contrary to informal agreements amongst the candidates due to the delegate problem.
Chris Mathews likes it when “it gets personal”
Speaking of the Republican contest in Florida on MSNBC today, Keith Olberman said it is getting down to the “extremes.” By that he meant Romney and McCain.
Mathews agreed and said the reace was getting “very personal” between the candidates, which he said he “likes”. That like, sounds more like Jerry Springer material than serious news reporting. In a much later discussion, when told a lot of politics is not above the first or second grade, he chuckles, “I like it!”
Marcia Pappas, New York Chapter Of NOW Claims “Kennedy Betrayal”
Her position is that for the first time women have a chance to have someone who will represent all women in America, which can not be done by any man including African American Barack Obama. The gender and race war tensions are breaking out all over the Democratic Party.
In my humble opinion, Hillary has certainly earned her shot at the top spot,
Maxine Waters Says Stop the Discussion on Race!
In a live inerview she admonished MSNBC to drop the discussion of race engaged in by Bill & Hill, by Barack and others and, gee, seems she has quite a track record talking about race. She says it does not help our country. DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO. You quit, I will continue when the heat dies down.
In the meantime she says Barack is a good man but she supports the woman in this race.
Jan 08 HA Award Recipient: Detroit Mayor with Oak Leaf Cluster
HYPOCRISY.COM in association with Richard Cochrane announces that DETROIT’S MAYOR has been awarded the coveted HA Certificate for exceptional, high quality hypocrisy. His award was further enhanced with the OAKLEAF CLUSTER. The citation says…
While Detroit is crumbling it has an allegedly adulterous 38-year old married Mayor taking time to exchange 16,000 often sexual text messages on taxpayer paid cellular phones with his also married and taxpayer paid female aide; then both perjured themselves about it, and he is thrifty enough to hire a $600 a hour lawyer on a relatively modest City salary…and we thought the big joke was that law enforcement apprehended 200 people at the border and sent them back to their homes — in Detroit.
Previous recipients include MOCKUMENTORY Filmmaker MICHAEL MOORE for his embarrassing flawed “SICKO” movie. He was also awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award for Hypocrisy. Hope he has a big wall to hang them all. He has been nominated for another Academy Award in Documentaries this Feb 24, 2008. It could be one of the most embarrassing awards they made to date. Moore is lobbying to have Fidel Castro give his acceptance speech.
Florida Republican’s Boycott Today’s Primary in Sympathy With Democrats
In a rare show of unity between parties, it appears that local politics is stronger than national parties and are refusing to vote since the Democrats Delegates will not count in Denver, CO at the national convention this August. Sort of gives me goosebumps.
While some are going to the polling booths according to the New York T imes, some reports indicate that those who are too embarrassed to show unity with the Democrats in public by boycotting publicly, many are going in and in the privacy of the booth are refusing to Punch The Chad.
My Actor Can Beat up Your Actor
Upon hearing that actor Sylvester Stallone endorsed him John McCain said he was going to Philadelphia and run up those steps and joked that he’d ask Stallone to beat up Chuck Norris for calling McCain too old to be President.
No information available about the response of the Norris, uh Hucklebee camp except the hint of a new exercise machine will be built to prepare for that fight.
Go Along To Get Along
In an article in the Wall Street Journal about a thriving capitalist banker who lives amidst confiscatory populism in the current Hugo Hegemony in Venezuela, we can learn a lot about capitalism and survival.
First, we learn that everyone, every country, every social system in the world has one thing in common. And always in common despite rhetoric to the contrary.
Everyone is a Capitalist. Every Country is Capitalistic. Every social and economic system in the world is Capitalistic.
Bill Bucked Kennedy on the Race Issue
Two weeks ago Senator Kennedy had warned Bill Clinton to stop splintering the Democrat party along race lines. Bill did not listen.
Did it cost Hillary the endorsement of the Kennedy Clan?
Republicans enjoy nice nice, even a little foot in mouth by Huckabee, no matter
There was a Republican debate Thursday night in Florida. It started like reading the survivors list from the Titanic – a lot shorter than it was originally. Romney, McCain, Giuliani, Paul and Huckabee more or less agreed that the proposed Bush-House economic stimulus package is good but does not go far enough, fast enough or long enough.
Sides Are Starting to be Taken
ENDORSEMENTS: Recent days have been big for endorsements including: Thursday the NEW YORK TIMES endorsed HILLARY CLINTON and JOHN MCCAIN for their respective party’s nominations; Wednesday Rev. Calvin O. Butts III, the pastor of one of the oldest black churches in America, the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Harlem endorsed Hillary. It has now been revealed Senator Clinton earmarked and secured $1 million for Butts’ churches programs in last year’s budget.
Barack May Lead in the Money Chase in 2008
Clinton and Obama have been raising $1 million a day. Barrack Obama bragged that in the first eight days of 2008 his campaign had bagged $8 million and reports from the Clinton campaign have made similar statements. McCain had raised $7 million in two and one half weeks more than in the prior half year.
Edwards won among Richer White Men, How Embarrasing
To no ones particular surprise but in what was the most racially split statewide vote since Civil War Reconstruction Barrack Obama trounced Hillary Clinton by more than two to one leaving Edwards lost in the South Carolina dust Saturday. Clinton won the less educated and poorer vote. Obama overwhelmingly won among the young, college educated and blacks. Edwards won among white men.
“This Republic of Suffering” Dr Drew Gilpin Faust, Harvard Universtiy President
An actor in the closing minutes of the movie ‘OPEN RANGE’ starring Robert Duvall said, “Go back now, I don’t want you to lose sight of your roof tops” and I thought of Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust’s new book THIS REPUBLIC OF SUFFERING. It is a trivial thought perhaps but to me the American Civil War exemplified that for it was a war largely fought by men who, until then, had never lost sight of their own roof tops.
