F.O.O., I need to warn you that Senator Clinton brings out the worst in me, so some of tonight's diary may seem a little "harsh." I apologize in advance for that. Between her and the news about Mr. Hamdan's sentence and hearing a couple of more interviews with Ron Suskind today, I've been keyed up most of the day. I finally had to turn off NPR and listen to Enya to save what little sanity I had.
It’s 89 days until the election. 89 was a good year. I’m talking 1989 – not 1889; I’m not talking Senator McCentury years here! I graduated from high school in 1989 – on my 18th birthday no less!
Let's count down tonight's Countdown!
#5 "President Clinton to Speak at Dem Convention..." Well, I guess you couldn’t exactly tell him to stay home, could you? He was the last Dem President. He better be heaping a lot of praise on Senator Obama, that’s for damn sure! There’s Senator Clinton telling her Clintonistas to march on Denver; phooey on "unity"! I really want her to GO AWAY! "...a media creation..."?! Did Senator Obama see the YouTube video?! Sometimes, he’s too stinkin’ nice. What does Senator Clinton want? She wants to be the nominee; sorry, hon, you lost. How much damn "validation" does she need?! If Senator Clinton’s supporters need "catharsis," how about supporters of Senators Biden, Dodd, Edwards, or Congressman Kucinich or any other Dem who ran?
#4 "McBush" AKA "Maverickety" - Craig Crawford needs a haircut. Once again, thank you, Senator Clinton, for your glowing praise of Senator McCentury during the primaries at the expense of your fellow Dem. Yes, you were fighting for the nomination, but you don’t $hit where you eat & praise the other team.
BUSHED! "Bushonomics – Gate" - More people applied for unemployment benefits last month than in awhile. Wouldn’t it be loverly if defeated Congresscritters lost their free lifetime healthcare and had to sweat health and other every day decisions like the rest of us?! "Foxes Overseeing the Henhouses – Gate" - The mine in Utah was destined to fail. Will Bob Whats – His – Name go on trial for negligent homicide or anything like that? He sure as hell should! "Gitmo – Gate" - Mr. Hamdan got 5 and a half years today for his sentence but could still be a permanent resident of Gitmo after his sentence is served. God *&^%$#@! America! If Senator Obama wins, he needs to begin cleaning this mess up post haste, and a new Congress needs to ditch the whole "military commissions" shtick!
**Oddly enough, the guy in Florida sounded stone – cold sober during his 911 call about his sandwich; I guess he can’t use the "I was drunk" excuse. Doesn’t being a pick – pocket require some stealth abilities? You know, there’s some pizza I’d be willing to plead guilty for!**
#3 "’Pride in Being Ignorant’" AKA "GOP Power Outage" AKA "McCainergy Crisis" - John "Small Price to Pay" Boehner makes me retch along with the other GOP ilk! Isn’t there any way to vote his sorry a$$ out in November? He gave up golf the way GWB did; "they" say imitation is the most sincere form of flattery! Newt Gingrich is back on the scene threatening a government shut – down? I guess he’s not capable of hind sight – more like hind end sight! The GOP camping out in DC made oil prices drop by the power of their minds! I guess my mind powers aren’t up to snuff because GWB, DICK, and assorted ilk would’ve been gone long ago.
WPITW – I wonder where "America’s Mayor" is bumping uglies with "Mrs. America’s Mayor" at tax payer expense? Maybe, he’s not getting enough; he’s having Chinese hallucinations! Baseball umpires aren’t exactly known for their sense of humor, are they? Why hasn’t a bear eaten Glen Beck yet or at least swatted at him for a little while?
#1 "Jet Favre" AKA "Broadway Brett" AKA "Jet All the Way" - Brett Favre is a moran!!!!!!!!!! He leaves the smallest media market where everyone thinks he’s God to go to the largest media market just waiting for him to screw up or not even waiting for him to screw up and nailing him anyway! He is so full of $hit. At least he didn’t end up with the Bears; I really didn’t want to disown "my" team! Yea for Dan Patrick! Are the Pac still going to retire his number in a tearful gut – wrenching ceremony?
