That’s hysterical. “If your love for America were like an ice cream, what ice cream would it be?”
And I’m with one of the other commenters there. Where it was live, wouldn’t it have been lovely if Obama had just come out and said, “You know, I really think the American people would rather hear about healthcare and the war in Iraq, rather than lapel pins and Reverend Wright. So can we just grow the hell up and focus on the issues instead of this idiocy?”
Punchy
TPM is reporting that now Clinton is now bashing Obama for bashing this debate abomination.
I’m seriously really, really beginning to hate this Clinton beeyotch.

This is why people are getting pissed off at Hillary. The utter, shameless dishonesty.
Obama was not complaining about “tough” questions or “hard” questions. He was pointing out that the questions were inane, not tough. He was pointing out that the questions had absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the very real issues that are affecting your country.
If only the questions HAD been tough. Instead, they were utterly retarded and pointless.

That was fun-ny!

WaPo “Journalism” defined: in paragraph 23 of 25 we discover:
Also, the McCardle has turned out another embarrassment, speculating that Obama is too skinny to be presidential material. Her commenters remind her that not only is he thin, but that he stays fit by playing basketball, which is, you know, urban, and that’s just not something the American people are ready for. And this gets published by the fucking Atlantic.
Can someone tell me where we’re going and what we’re doing in this handbasket?

A modest proposal:
How about the national media cover my local high school’s class president election, and the local high school paper kids get to cover the Presidential election. The national election coverage will improve, and the national journalists will get to cover all the gossip and inane popularity factors they enjoy so much. Sounds like win-win to me.

Well you know jenniebee, a skinny urban basketball playing Negro can only mean two things:
1. He’s hooked on crack.
2. He’s got the AIDS.
In other news, in order to keep the country safe from terrists dumpster diving is now punishable by death.

Obama missed one when he was asked about the flag lapel pin?
He should have looked at the two questioners and asked why they weren’t wearing one.

I just do not understand why any Democratic politician in this day and age dignifies that kind of crap with a response. The network media in this country shows what they think of people who aren’t in the “political class” when they announce that we really care about flag pins and not health care. We’re apparently so dumb that we don’t think New Orleans being in ruins and bridges falling down and 4000 killed after the end of Major Combat Operations and civilian wiretapping and civil rights protesters on no-fly lists and rising median temperatures and listeria in the water supply and rising gas prices and Wall Street run amok and the fact that practices we’ve condemned as war-crimes are now official government policy is nearly as important as whether our political candidates wear their patriotism on their sleeves. Sleeves now being the same as lapels, and easy, shallow words and gestures now being the same as actual patriotism.
Where’s Madame fucking Dufarge when you need her? There’s a very long scarf somewhere that needs Gibson and Stephanopoulis’ names knitted into it.

She’s right. Lincoln was a farking abomination in office.
