Ted Stevens rant

What kind of strange bullshit is this? Did this bastard find a way to steal the election?

[prole]

 

Ted Stevens, Republican elder statesman, lion of the Senate, convicted felon. Him, Trent Lott, and Tom DeLay should start a doo-wop group.

Unfortunately, there are a few democrats who could join that chorus.

DC is a cess-pool.

I've read that Harry Reid might be on his way out (of his leadership position) soon too. He's got ethics issues-a-plenty...and Hillary needs to be thrown a bone.

 

BTW; I thought it was pretty un-classy of Obama to take a shot at Nancy Reagan today. And was it just my imagination, or was Obama talking about his tax plan in the past-tense?

perhaps it was unclassy...but it was not untrue. she really did.

[prole]

You can think of it as a kind of coded message: "The cat's out of the bag, Reagan is toast. God is dead. The end of history is over."

Dry as toast?

Someone asked him about how he was going to choose the new dog. He said something to the effect of "I'm not going to do a Nancy Reagan and have a seance" or something of that ilk.

 

Two things come to mind 1) At least he could fucking articulate the word "Seance". 2) Please explain how that was disrespectful.

 

Would it give you a warm and fuzzy if he orchestrated the occupation of a middle east country? Come here fairwever, wet me give you some hugs!! :kisss:

"I didn’t want to get into a Nancy Regan thing about doing any seances."

 

Poor choice of words.

Unpresidential.

Black man beats up old lady.

 

He definately screwed the pooch on that one and should apologize profusely before he gets raked over the coals by her highness.

[Off_White]

Nancy Reagan blows goats. She's gotten as much respect as she's due, though perhaps not enough for running Ronnie through his final Alzheimer presidential years.

 

Betty Ford gets sucked up to way too much too, if you ask me.

 

I guess Nancy just relied on astrologers for advice, not seances. Personally, I prefer consulting sheep entrails, something I'll be doing tomorrow. Apparently it was Hillary Clinton who held a seance in the White House, trying to contact Eleanor Roosevelt. Pundits think Obama confused the two first ladies, but I think it's equally likely he knew exactly what he was doing.

[STP]

No, no, no. You got it all wrong. Nancy was into astrologers. Hillary was the one into seances with Eleanor Roosevelt (Jean Huston style).

Uh yeah whatever...I'm hoping that he, not to mention the rest of us, have bigger issues to deal with.

 

 

[prole]

Doing a seance in the White House would be rad. Who would turn down that opportunity?

[tvashtarkatena]

Fuck Nancy Reagan. She's a Grey, not even human. That head! WTF? How the hell did she get to be First Lady anyway?

 

Obama cracked a joke. Get the fuck over it.

Don't make me call you a commie pinko bastard.

 

Oops! Guess you know what I think now.

Or maybe you just don't understand sarcasm.

[prole]

Ohhhh. Sarcasm!

Remember Nancy's drug program - "Just Say No". It was so successful that after she left D.C. she started a homeless program - their slogan - "Just Get A House"

[prole]

Followed up with the highly successful "Just Don't Fuck" program.

[Off_White]

I knew a guy in a band down in Tucson in the mid eighties, Van Christian in Naked Prey, who asserted that his personal drug plan was "Just Say A Little"

It wasn't so much the comment itself as the fact he had just finished talking about the "new tone" his administration was going to set. As for his ability to articulate, you obviously didn't hear the press conference. His endless stammering and inability to produce words without annoying pause is striking. No big deal really, but please don't use it to describe a virtue that clearly does not exist.

[olyclimber]

thats like your opinion man. i thought he was refreshingly articulate when compared to W, who when he can't find the right word, just makes them up. it also indicates he is actually thinking, vs. reciting a prescribed talking point.

 

i would have to agree with you that it was odd that he would crack about Mrs. Reagan though.

Oh Jesus - and you never complained about the Idiot's lack of verbal skills!!!! It's great to have an intelligent person as a president and someone who will not embarass us futher on the world stage.

[prole]

Perhaps he should have included references to "horny-toads" and "stuck pigs", clearing brush, or the Ole Miss football program? Would that make you feel better?The guy is thinking for Christ's Sake. How refreshing!

Just for grins, I just searched google looking for president-elect Bush's first press conference in 2000. It looks as if it was given by Cheney. CNN
