lo

l

how bout hillary sitting down with r.m. scaife? how generous and open-hearted of her, to do that.

one could say she's almost... human.

p.s. can we have a couple of our resident FOH's chime in on the Tuzla airport thing? how exactly does someone who is not a calculating machiavel with a puffed-up resume "misspeak" about being shot at, or not? just askin', like.

She can't admit to lying, so she has to have another explanation. That this one isn't true either isn't importSo why DID Obama go to that church when he knew that Wright was preaching there?

what a machievellian genius Hillary is, to lie about a high-profile, videotaped public event!

oh, right, she was sleep-deprived.

honestly, after all the BS this campaign has seen, that might be the most infuriating to me because it's the most insulting to the intelligence. did she think there wasn't video from 1995? and the defenses have been stunning. sinbad (a comedian) has no credibility because he's ... "a comedian." and making up a combat yarn is a function of... exhaustion.

xp hah i've never said she was a genius.

but Tracer, she'd still be "fine" as the party's standard bearer, amirite? This is about as much of a standard as the Dems are used to.

yes, but how crafty! how calculating! to totally misstate what happened at an event the entire world was watching and has a record of! truly, such cunning can scarcely be comprehended

no, to think that such 'cunning' would not be immediately comprehended, cannot be comprehended. dyougetme.

i mean i'm really actually stunned over here

do you think bush misspoke all those times he lied, just because it was so obvious he was lying?

he must have been exhausted

(incidentally, if machiavelli was correct about anything, you wouldn't have to be smart to be a successful ruler, you'd just have to follow the M playbook and it would work, right?)

3AM Phone Call: "Bomb them!"
7AM press conference: "Did I say bomb? I was sleep deprived, I misspoke."

plus, as a long-time fan of sinbad, i am quick to defend his legacy.

So it turns out that Hillary's claim -- that she was the first presidential spouse to visit a war zone since Eleanor -- is incorrect; Pat Nixon visited Vietnam.

umm I'm pro-HRC but my answer is "she was lying because she didn't figure she would get caught - she's something of a scumbag, you know"

being an FOH doesn't mean thinking she rules or anything rite

ha fair enuf

Quote of the Month

JD, what will be a bigger asset in enabling her to universalize healthcare, get us out of Iraq and fix the economy, the habitual lying or the finger-to-the-wind "principles"?

it's cool, you ain't gotta

the last one? yes. what are her qualities that she's masking with the two that are easily noticed?

give me one reason why I'd bother to answer you

Question: Do you still think the Democratic race can be resolved before the convention?

Reid: Easy.

Q: How is that?

Reid: It will be done.

Q: It just will?

Reid: Yep.

Q: Magically?

Reid: No, it will be done. I had a conversation with Governor Dean (Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean) today. Things are being done.

O RLY? Hm.

SAVE OUR PLANET

When foreigners look at the three contenders, Sen. Barack Obama seems to have the lead among Europeans and Africans. Sen. Hillary Clinton is popular among Mexicans and Chinese. Sen. John McCain just returned from a campaign swing through the Middle East and Europe.

lol obamas popular some places, clintons doing well in others and mccain just got back from a trip!

and no one's gettin' fat except Barney Frank

You can almost see it with its arms folded, going "Hmmmmmmmmm...."

holy fucking lolz @ "earth divided"

two ron paul dudes behind me going "yeah the Right is totally gonna lose this one, but you know we're gonna take it back in 2012."

but do they know of the divided earth?

tell them

dude they love McCain in the United Arab Emirates!

(^^^^^totally made up)

so 22% dems say clinton should drop out, likewise 22% of dems say obama should drop out

47% of obama supporters think clinton should drop out, and 38% of clinton supporters say obama should drop out

http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/22_of_democrats_want_clinton_to_drop_out_22_say_obama_should_withdraw

i've made my support for obama known, so sorry if i'm being dense, but i really don't understand in the slightest how anyone could argue that obama should drop out. let's see, he's the leader in
1)pledged delegates (and total delegates)
2)states won
3)total votes cast
4)caucuses won
5)primaries won (i could be wrong on this one, but i remember hearing it recently)

i'm actually curious, what are the arguments for saying obama, of the two candidates, should drop out now? (i understand no major voices are really arguing for this, but is it really just people who either a.)aren't paying attention to this thing at all and don't like obama; or b.)serious, serious hillary supporters who so firmly believe in her entitlement to the nomination?

as i recall, wasn't it around 30% of clintonistas who said they wouldn't vote at all if o was the nominee? (and vice versa)

xp dude tears of joy

africa is so confused right now
