Rabbit! Rabbit!! Rabbit!!!
I'm bringing back a couple of "old favorites" for my "this day in history" items. ;D But first, I have a cartoon just for Rep. Lynn Jenkins based on her latest outrageous comment; she's just making friends all over the place!
Hell, you're not even safe if you DO have a job with health insurance. What you THINK might be covered just might not be. But, don't forget that "Obama - care" would ration care & treatment. *&^%$#@!
OK...onto our "old favorites" & their part in "this day in history"...
On this date in 2007, Sen. Larry Craig (Hypocrite - ID) announced that he would resign in the wake of fallout over his guilty plea in a Minnesota airport gay sex sting. Craig later reversed his decision saying he would serve out the rest of his term. Here's a little ditty for the "honorable" now - former Senator!
And, on this date last year, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain's choice to be his running mate on the Republican ticket, revealed that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, was pregnant. This revelation prompted this response. ;D
Let's Countdown.
#5 "Public Optional" AKA "Health Care Deform" AKA "Religious Fright" - I’m not the least bit surprised that someone booed Senator Kennedy in a town hall; hell, he was being trashed the day he died. Senator McConnell & Senator McCentury are taking their town hall show on the road via invitation only. Could someone fib & get into the suckers anyway, or will their "credentials" be checked at the door like GWB’s peeps used to? And, Bat$it Bachmann is calling for people to slit their wrists to stop health care reform. So, if someone actually does this & ends up dead, could she be held liable? THINOs?! Oh, that’s good! THINO is "town hall in name only". HA! McConnell & McCentury want to start this whole health care reform debate all over again – tough $hit. HeeeRRrrrrrEEEee’s NoNo! Senator McCaskill decried the THINOs on the Senate floor, but who heard her? Most Americans are confused as hell about health care reform. 60% of respondents in a CBS poll don’t think President Obama has explained his plans for health care reform clearly enough; I agree. He should’ve spoken softly but carried a big stick; hey, I got Teddy Roosevelt’s quote correct! Take that, Lonesome Rhodes! ;D Seriously, President Obama & his White House staff (aka Rahm E.) should have never NEVER let Congress critters control the debate. I love Dan Savage! Where does he live? Can he get married? Does he wanna get married?! HEY! Dan Savage stole my bat$hit crazy – except he "edited" it. Mr. Savage, I expect a royalty check soonest; I can also be bought with Sharffen – Berger chocolate – the kind with the coffee in it, please. Dan made a great point; these GOPer right – wing religious nut creeps have hijacked Christianity. If these "people" are the paragons of Christianity...well...gee... Christianity has their own radicalism just like the Muslim faith & some in the Jewish faith. Funny, you don’t hear much about Buddhist extremists. HELLO?! Did y’all hear what Dan Savage said??!! Oh boy, he’s gonna hear from "them," now. Here’s what he said:
...I really do think the Michelle Bachmanns of the world and the Glen Becks of the world are actively and consciously or subconsciously trying to get (I’m just gonna say it) trying to get the President killed.
Oh Dan, you better watch yourself – SERIOUSLY! Keith, it’s a good thing you slightly "moderated" what Dan said. I’m sorry to say that I think Dan Savage is gonna be in a world of hurt now; he seriously better get a body guard or something. Some of these "people" are just crazy enough to try to hurt him. Dan had some great comments about the "media!"
The Dems need to man up themselves!
HA! Go Dan, GO! Oh no! "The Great Orange Satan" was supposed to be on the show tonight, but the wild fires in southern California mucked up the works. Uh – oh... some might interpret this as a sign from God!
#4 "Yes, We Kandahar" AKA "GOP Surrenders to Taliban" - There is evidence that the elections in Afghanistan were rigged by GWB’s guy there. What a damn shock. And, I know I’m in the minority opinion on this issue here, but I want the best & brightest personnel & equipment to find OBL & his ilk to get them in front of a damn court where they belong to answer for 9/11. GWB sparked up EVERYTHING by diverting precious resources & time by invading Iraq – a country that had DIDDLY SQUAT to do with 9/11 because he was too weak & weak – minded to just tell DICK no. GWB & his ilk should be required to go to every family who lost a loved one on that horrible day & apologize for invading the wrong sparkin’ country. OK, rant over. The commander in Afghanistan thinks a change in plans is required. George Will wants to cut & run in Afghanistan. Was he in favor of us going into Iraq? Senator Russ Feingold wants a timetable for US withdrawal from there. Do we really REALLY know that, to paraphrase Keith, OBL took his ball & went to Pakistan? Last I heard, he was in the mountainous area bordering the 2 countries, so he could technically be in either place, yes? I’m trusting Col. Lawrence Wilkerson to clarify some of this stuff. THANK YOU! He partially said what I ranted about – thank you very much. Col. Wilkerson thinks President Obama may be forced into a position to try to withdraw forces from there as quickly as from Iraq. Some on the GOP side are already calling Afghanistan "Obama’s Vietnam." Right...GWB was in office for 8 years; President Obama’s been in office not even a year. Give me a sparkin’ break.
** O...M...G...the Dalai Lama is in lattes in Taiwan! Ya’ know, as a practicing Buddhist, I really don’t have a problem with that. But, maybe Buddhists who practice in his tradition might take issue with it. Oh well...some Buddhist teachings dictate that if you encounter the Buddha, you must kill the Buddha to avoid attachment to name & form. So, in that light, the Dalai Lama’s only getting slurped in coffee houses, so he’s got that goin’ for him at least. ;D People in El Salvador are tossing fire balls at each other. OK, to all you Keith Olbermann nay – sayers who say he won’t trash his network, he did! He talked about Rep. Anthony Weiner’s faboo smack – down from earlier today! SO, STICK THAT IN YOUR PIE HOLES! Keith showed the tape & everything! A pastor in Arizona thinks gays should be executed, any gays who say they’re not child molesters are lying, oh, and President Obama should get brain cancer & die. Christianity hijacker here! Michael Steele still doesn’t know his arse from his elbow concerning Medicare. **
#3 "It’s DICK 2012" AKA "America: Get DICK" - Some GOP hacks are seriously floating the notion of DICK running for POTUS in 2012. Despite Keith’s joke concerning the 22nd amendment, isn’t DICK seriously constitutionally barred from seeking that office because he was "officially" VP for 2 consecutive terms? Boy, ‘ol Pirate Murdoch has really turned the WSJ into bird cage liner, hasn’t he. Ugh... But, I love DICK’s campaign ad! ;D How funny was it to see Chris Kofinis having a cow?! Too cute... Man, a few segment guests have had to "creatively edit" their comments to avoid "coarse language." These times just bring out the best in all of us! Great points were made about the "I told you so" strateegery of the GOP. In their warped little minds, it will be President Obama’s & the Dems fault if we get attacked again. And, a healthy number of warped little minds are praying for such a thing. Note I DID NOT SAY ALL of the GOPers; I said a healthy number of them. "Cheney/Palin 2012"??????!!!!! AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WPITW – Lonesome Rhodes is talking neck breaking, prayer, etc. Is he going to slit his wrists with Bat$hit Bachmann? Rep. Lynn Jenkins makes another appearance by laughing at an uninsured 27 – year – old & telling her to grow up. And, how ‘bout the lovely person who shouted, "It’s not our job to pay for your health care"?! She’s probably on Medicare & faithfully attends church every Sunday. DDB Brazil created a public service ad showing multiple planes getting ready to crash into NYC landmarks to make a point about taking care of the planet.
#1 "Miss Cali Goes to Court" AKA "Revenge of Carrie" - Miss Opposite Marriage is suing to get her Miss California crown back, and she mentioned Keith’s interview with Michael Musto as "evidence" of her defamation of character or something. First of all, yea Countdown & Michael Musto! I know I’m in the minority opinion on this issue, too, but Michael Musto gave Miss Carrie exactly what she deserved. Secondly, so yes, if I worked on the show, I’d take the mention as a badge of honor. And, third, you have to HAVE character to have it defamed – not BE ONE! Finally, Carrie Prejean thinks she’s gonna take Donald Trump to court??!! Yea...good luck with that, honey. HA! I love what the lawsuit says!
On April 30, 2009, Prejean became the victim of a vicious attack by Michael Musto and Keith Olbermann on Olbermann’s MSNBC program, during which they mocked Prejean, asserting, among other vile things, that she had had a sex change operation and needed a brain transplant.
OK, the Charles Manson shtick was A BIT much. She’s complaining about not going to an "after party," too. It must’ve been a hell of an "after party!" SHE’S WRITING A BOOK? ARE YOU SPARKIN’ KIDDING ME?! OK, she’s got to be using the same ghost writer as St. Sarah from Wasilla; said ghost writer must give a discount for high volume of output.
