I spent most of the morning trying to think of a funny caption for the photo, but I'm just too damn in awe of the guy to mock him.

Richardson was in on the negotiations, and Al Gore, too. Well done to all of them.

snark said...

And it was all orchestrated through the State Department.

But it was The Big Dog that they wanted. A little face time with Bill was the ransom demand. Good on ya Bill. An American leader who garners more international respect than that piece of shit faux Texass cowboy imbecile could ever wet himself hoping he could have.

And of course Obama... he had to give the ok.
What a great Democratic effort.

Heard a few repukes on the radio this morning say, "Should have left them there... it was their own damn fault for getting caught... it was an Al Gore screw up!"
Motherfuckers have to have something to whine about when something turns out rosy for the Dems.
John Bolton thought it was a mistake to go. Right... ask their families... pissant!

snark said...

Another lawyer who has no clue about what the First Amendment protects.

Now that's one cop I certainly will NOT defend.

Putz.

Seven of Six said...

Seriously, how can someone defend that... he would be better off saying, "I passed along a joke that was worded very badly. For this I'm sorry." And leave it alone... seems like this guy is trying to get attention.

Seven of Six said...

Poor Twinky must be buried in her new job... I feel her pain.

gone said...

Heehee! Payback's a bitch. I sent my list out of things and info I'm going to need and the salesperson who's one of those that smile while shivving you in the back couldn't help but try to answer point by point, with the big boss copied on the thread. She tried to be all sickening sweet, and she added another person to the cc who didn't belong there, and tried to make her digs, but I dug right back, just as sickening sweet as she did. She pushed, and lied, so I set the record straight for all to see. She wants to play? Game on. Wonder how she'll like her cc pal who gets Fridays off for no reason, when I start taking Fridays off every other week. Hope she's enjoying the shit sandwich I'm having now! Sharing is great, innit?

Wow. He's just making a bigger and bigger ass (and story) out of himself.

Sooo... can he be the new Joe the Plumber?

(ducks, runs away)

Seems he's eminently qualified, eh?

Really good article from a black woman's perspective.

Really good article from a black woman's perspective.

I love it. Especially:

Dixie ain't got no lock on hatin' black folks. They are just more open about it.

Yep.

She makes a good point about "why black folks are religious", but...

Sadly, we know that God don't seem to protect those we cherish, or put into leadership. Can't tell you how many shrines I've seen in black homes. MLK, JFK and Bobby...Malcolm and others...

God versus the CIA. Who ya got??

Sadly, my money's on the CIA.

And the comforting part of believing the CIA was responsible for the assassinations she mentioned? President Obama is no threat to the CIA.

I suppose one of these fringe wingnuttery assholes might still try something, but that's not what happened to JFK, RFK, MLK, and Malcolm.

And no, I'm not wearing my tin foil hat again. I'm just sayin'.

snark said...

No objections from me.

gone said...

This time it'll be contracted out to Blackwater, eh?

I didn't see anything about that story last night. Did KO or Maddow say anything about it?

The Masked Vigilante said...

KO was gonna talk about the Blackwater guy, but I turned it off and watched The Bourne Ultimatum instead.

Hadn't seen it since the theater. Matty Damon rocks the shit in those movies.

gone said...

I love Damon, almost as much as Marky Mark, or are they the same guy?

I liked the first two Bournes, but the third, I couldn't follow. Maybe I was drunk or sumpin, can't remember. P'raps I should try it again. Which reminds me, I gotta stop and get Fido for my long weekend!

gone said...

Ha! My fortune cookie says "Make use of your finest talents..."

Dang, where's George Clooney when you need 'im?

Ba dum bum!

The Masked Vigilante said...

People on TLC talking about Hannity's show. Who the fuck watches Hannity's show?? Good gawd.

I've seen a couple of You Tube clips from his interviews and almost threw my laptop across the room.

Great concept for a show. I'll do interviews, you come on, and I'll just shout talking points so you can't speak.

Me: "This is a fair and balanced show."

You: "No, it's really--

Me: "THIS IS A FAIR AND BALANCED SHOW!!"

You: "Wh--"

Me: "WHY WON'T HE JUST PRODUCE THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE??"

You: "Bec--"

Me: "FAIR AND BALANCED!"

gone said...

The only time I've ever watched Hannity deliberately was when Jon Stewart called him a dick to his face. Or was that Tucker Carlson of the dorky bow tie. Or both?

Hate the guy. He's a dick.

Seven of Six said...

And yes, DKos diarist needed to say that fucking hater's like hannity, beck, ru$h, O'Lielly, coulter are helping perpetuate the hate mongers in this country. Eliminate (tone down) these fuckers and this would not be near as fucked up as it is.

Did you hear how many more attempts on his life he's getting? That shit has got to stop... start putting these fuckers in jail for inciting attempts on the presidents life. That's not infringing on free speech, it's common sense.

The Masked Vigilante said...

Dang, where's George Clooney when you need 'im?

Sorry, Twink. George has got a new girlfriend.(NSFW)

Her name, like it matters, is Elisabetta Canalis.

gone said...

What's she got that I haven't got, eh?

The Masked Vigilante said...

What's she got that I haven't got, eh?

Much less chance of being arrested by Sgt. Crowley in her own home.

(runs for the hills)

gone said...

Well, there's that. Dang it.

snark said...

Um, does Rachel Maddow refer to herself as "Dr."? I'm sure she doesn't. It just sounds so silly when people insist on identifying someone who holds a Phd as "Dr." so and so.

gone said...

She used to have an "Ask Doctor Maddow" segment on her radio show that kind of made fun of her Doctorate - the intro was "she's not a medical doctor, but has the answers" or something like that. The questions are just general stuff, like "why is the sky blue?" sort of thing. I loved those segments, myself. Trivia's cool! But she doesn't wield the title in any way. Not sure who themomcat is, I vaguely remember the name, prolly from the primaries.

gone said...

She did mention Air America, so themomcat would have gotten the title there, I suspect.

Seven of Six said...

Maddow really down plays her Dr. title... Stanford grad... Rhodes scholar... Doctorate in Philosphy from Oxford. She's fucking awesome... the only TV journalist actually doing investigative work.

Got of whiff of "C-Street" (from Marc Sanford no less) and blew the lid off it. Now exposing those repuke trouble makers.

All I can say is keep up the good work.

The Masked Vigilante said...

If I had gone through all the trouble of getting a PhD in anything, even Romantic Languages or Underwater Basket Weaving, I'd insist on all of you calling me Dr. Vigilante.

gone said...

They call me Mr. Pibb.

snark said...

Dr. Vigilante.

I like it!

I see some correspondence classes in your future!

snark said...

Congratulations Justice Sotomayor!

Vote 68 yeas to 31 nays.

With Senator Al Franken presiding!

Seven of Six said...

Who was the absent vote snark? Kennedy?

snark said...

Yeah, it was Kennedy. Byrd got to the chamber just for the vote.

The Masked Vigilante said...

I see some correspondence classes in your future!

Heh. Yeah, for the record? Those online universities are full of crap. Diploma mills. You prolly already knew this.

I was accepted to one of them, Walden University. I was gonna get my Masters in Mental Health Counseling. I was THIS close to applying for financial aid.

Then I thought, "Huh. Maybe before I put myself 30k in debt, I oughta go out on that newfangled internet and see what people think."

Two hours of research later and I realized I was about to dedicate 30k and 3 years of my nights and weekends to a degree that would mean squat.

Which is probably all for the best. I don't wanna help anybody anymore.

gone said...

I can't even he'p m'sef. Fuck ev'body else!

gone said...

Heh. Finally got some food in me, nothing but toast all day. I was in such a hurry to get the beer home from the grocery store, it fell off the shopping cart and I had to go in and replace it. I had the Surgeon General's special: steak & eggs, and now, blessed beer! Yay vacation! Yay Sotomayor!

Geez, that Oily Taint chick is a fookin' nutcase, isn't she? I can't believe people listen to her crap. Hatred of the other must damage brain cells, or something. Yikes!

The Masked Vigilante said...

Rock on, John Hughes. Damn.

The Masked Vigilante said...

"The script for 'Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' was the best script I had ever read," Steve Martin told CNN. "I asked John how long it took to write it, he said, 'I wrote it over the weekend.' The weekend. That shows you what he was able to do."
