well we can quibble over definitions but sure he is xp

from Andrew Sullivan's live blog:

Andrew Sullivan: And by the way, all those lefties mocking my admiration for the guy can go take a hike. A blogger should not consider the reaction of his peers when writing a piece. I knew the "he's a total suck-up" response would emerge instantly and I'm going to respond soon in a post. But I'm tired of my apologizing for my deep admiration of this president and how he has performed these past few years. It is not that trendy. But fuck trendy. We're lucky to have him and the biggest majority we can get him again is vital for global order and domestic recovery.

missed that part where he apologized

But fuck trendy.

Must. Resist. Joke.

well we can quibble over definitions but sure he is xp

legitimate joeks bruv

oh hah

Santorum couldn't muster a majority of votes to return to the US Senate, but after his performance in the presidential primaries he obviously has support from a large minority within his party. So, he's more legitimately prominent than, say, Huckabee or Palin.

Andrew Sullivan: But my favorite thing about Manhattan has always been - from my first visit in 1984 - walking the city. I used to walk from the Frick all the way down to Tribeca, PSBs in my ear-plugs, and just absorbing this glorious mess of humanity block by block, street by street, store-window by store-window. And the hottest men on the planet.

hah thats kind of excellent

all of new york is yr personal pet shop boys video *makes sweeping gesture*

So what you're saying is

honestly thought the larger image was like a computer-imagined composite of the other three dudes

Just posted by one of my FB friends here in Ohio:

I just got called to the window at work. I was told that a presidential motorcade was about to pass by on 480 W. When it passes by and the bus says "Romney/Ryan 2012" on the side, everyone groans in tandem and goes back to work.

the motorcade sped on

haha

why does Akin look like an Oompa Loompa

slow and steady, the Akin campaign is in it for the long run

RICHMOND — Virginia Republican Party officials on Tuesday ordered their Mecklenburg County affiliate to remove photos portraying President Obama as a witch doctor, a caveman and a thug from its Facebook page.
snip

R. Wallace “Wally” Hudson, chairman of the committee, was surprised to hear from a reporter that anyone had taken offense.

“If that group is that sensitive, I’m sorry, they’re just not human,” he said, chuckling. “It’s not American. If they’ve got a problem with it, we’re not going to change what we do.”

He didn’t seem any more inclined to take the state party’s feelings into account when told in a subsequent interview what Mullins had said.

“They can do what they want,” he said, chuckling again. “I’m waiting for the phone call.”

jesus christ

No -- voodoo and witch doctors.

I mean I know how much that shit must hurt and I'm almost sorry to have posted it, but what can you do but try to shame these fucking people everywhere possible?

I marvel at the acuity of Wally's mind.

The meltdown and lying continue.

But the disparity isn’t confined only to party identification. In a recent Ohio Newspaper Assn. poll that had Obama up by five in Ohio, Romney was preferred by independents 54–25. Obama took independents by nine points in 2008. That’s a full 38 point swing away from Obama, yet he’s purportedly beating Romney by a greater margin than he beat McCain in 2008. Neat trick.

word of the day: outlier

hahahahahahaha

please let this be his self deportation psa

or his survival of the fittest ad

first line of the ad. "I have something to talk to you all about, and it's going to be hard to hear."

(xposts) I can't GIS a photo that I'm certain is Wally, but here's the county chairman if anyone wants to photoshop him in some sordid or unnatural act and spread it around facebook. Just sayin'.
