I begin tonight's diary with a rant. I am so f*ckin' sick & tired of the GOP nutjobs thinking the American people are such ignorant a - holes as to actually believe that immediate offshore drilling will have an immediate effect on gas prices! Mike Pence is crowing about this big sacrifice that Repubs are making by staying in DC because they insist on an energy bill vote. I'm tired of hearing this, and the *&^%$#@! media (Keith, please??!!) better hop on this puppy ASAP. Senator Obama needs to get a little more down & dirty, and, "Speaker" Pelosi, you put off this vote; why couldn't you do this with FISA?!
MONDAYS SUCK DONKEY DROPPINGS!
OK...breathing deeply...today is not only Senator Obama's birthday, but Louis Armstrong (the jazz guy - not the moon guy) was born on this date in 1900. I don't think he'd be singing "What a wonderful world" if he were here.
Here's a F.O.O. "business" blurb. We are approaching the time when "official" F.O.O. jerseys will be ordered. If you want one, let Diogenes2008 know. We need a size & a number; the following numbers are spoken for: 23, 03, 59, 6, 49, 42, & 19.
I've calmed down now; let's diary for tonight's Countdown - 92 days before the election!
#5 "Drill Bits" AKA "Blue – Collar State" - When was the last time Senator McCentury had to worry about tire pressure? Wasn’t his first car a horse & buggy?! ;) I’m waiting for the good Senator from Arizona to go into a rendition of "Drill...Drill...Drill – Drill – for oil..." [to be sung to the tune of "Bomb Iran"] Hey! I could actually use a tire gauge; I think hubby "creatively acquired" mine! How’s Gov. Crist’s impending marriage going? I’m asking for a friend. Eating pizza will reduce the cost of energy?! SIGN ME UP!! I will make that sacrifice for the good of the nation; and, I won’t just act like I’m sacrificing like GWB. Jonathan Alter is correct; Dems need to think more like Repubs at times. Maybe, they will after Labor Day when more people are paying attention. It sounded like Keith WANTED TO GO THERE with the "phallic stuff"; now, Keith, that doesn’t exactly pass PG – 13 muster! :) How can Senator McCentury not be connected with "working class whites"? He’s a straight – talkin’ maverick, don’t ya’ know! Pay no attention to the beer heiress wife, the private jet, the 8 houses, etc. I can’t believe I disagree with Eugene Robinson, but, I think Senator Obama still has his work cut out for him on white men & women over age 60 or 65. Why? R...a...c...e. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I am; please, someone convince me I’m wrong.
#4 "McBush" AKA "Strict – Talk Express" AKA "McFreedom of the Press" - Senator McCentury is "scripting" town halls a la GWB only letting in friendlies?! Nice. Is the "Straight Talk Express" for whites only? Hm.... Who voted against the MLK national holiday? Hm... I hope Stephen Price is making the rounds.
**The Borden’s got hacked with 40 whacks on this date? Golly... I didn’t see Jesus in the palm tree – sorry. Keith, no more E!, stuff, please?! Keith mentioned Dana’s column & the fact Countdown wouldn’t have him on again! Wow...OK...all those who were griping at Keith to mention this & calling him a coward for "covering" for Dana, you may now begin your 40 lashes with a wet noodle, and I’m sure Keith’ll accept your abject apologies [insert Bronx raspberry here]! The guy & the horse was in Bavaria, huh? Maybe, there was too much beer or brauts?**
#3 "Anthrax Investigation" AKA "Anthrax & Evidence" AKA "Anthrax Implications" - Senator McCentury was "advancing the narrative" on Letterman in October 2001! When will Robert Mueller be in front of whatever committee he should be in front of?! If what the FBI source is true, "Speaker" Pelosi, would THIS get impeachment off the table?!
WPITW – How do you forget a daughter?! YES!! Thank you so much, Keith, for calling attention to these GOP boils on the butt of humanity for their little stunt they’re trying to pull! I wanna hear more – I wanna hear more – I wanna hear more! They probably don’t have to worry about tire pressure, either; they fill the tires on their limos with their own hot air! I wonder how "the comedian’s" inflation is these days? Does "he" still need the Viagra?
#1 "Back to the Pack" AKA "Packer Mentality" AKA "Favre Doubles Back" - Sorry, F.O.O., I could care less about the arse that Brett Favre’s making of himself – especially if Ari Fleischer is "advising" him. If he ends up with the Bears, I will disown the Bears! What about that retirement of Brett’s jersey? "...self – indulgent drama queen..."??!! Wow, even I wasn’t that mean! If I was Aaron Rogers, I’d be slipping a laxative into Brett’s liquid refreshment.
