Hi all, I'm late!! Does anyone else get totally exhausted just listening to Wolf Blitzer? I swear to god, after a few minutes of that droning delivery I start knocking a couple back and the next thing I know I'm totally slobbered. I'm Maru, your guest host for this evening -- night! it's night!! -- and it's my debut here, so please bear with me.

Bada bing!
Halloo, Maru. Whoareyou?
Greetz!
Hey!
Welcome to the Lake Maru! I would like a Harvey Wallbanger, easy on the ice. Thanks. I’m in the hammock.
Blitzer, he’s so, so… objective.
Here is your drink, Elliott..)
Welcome Maru.

or objectionable…
Maru…I love the name!! I’ll have a top shelf Marguerita please..!
just one day after the last NEWSWEEK Poll found President George W. Bush plagued by the worst presidential approval ratings since Richard Nixon, the new poll finds that every leading Republican candidate for the presidency in 2008 would lose to each of the leading Democrats. Hillary Clinton would defeat Rudy Giuliani by 7 points among registered voters: 51 percent to 44 percent. Giuliani comes up short against Obama (49 to 44) and Edwards (48 to 46).

I actually liked Blitzer until he sucked up to Lynne Cheney and was so “hurt” she was mean to him. Then my crapometer went DINGDINGDINGDING.
Hi Maru
Wolf. A cybertwit in lupus clothing.
Hey Maru! How’s by you?
Hi guys! It’s nice to be here — usually I lurk during the day while I’m at work.
Blitzer…objective! That’s the word I’ve been trying to think of for him. I keep thinking obtuse, for some reason.
Welcome!
Wolf is…well…ummm…if you watch Wolf long enough you realize he is the big, bad, wolf…
my…what big eyes you have…my what big teeth you have…
I’m gonna eat you all up!!!
Whatsnu, Maru?
Gin and tonic - double twist - Thanks!
Never could handle the Wolfman- he’s a big zero.
Flow Blitzer
I actually liked him playing himself in that animated movie awhile back….Cats vs Dogs, or something like that? Since then, bleh…
bienvenue, Maru
LoudounLib @ 8
a blunt excrement comes to mind.
maru @ 15
BTW maru, if you’re a guest host for late nite, yer actually early. If not, then Never Mind…
Of course I LOVE Wolfie compared to Candy Crowley- SENIOR political reporter.
Funny blog name. *s*

iT’S clear that Candy and the Wolfman have pictures of the CEO of CNN fuckin a goat.
rwcole @ 25
Did you HAVE to???
Margot @ 16
lol, obtuse, that’s what my ex-gf calls me!
happy second longest daylight day of the year, y’all.
7:30 where I am and we’ve got over two more hours before sunset ends.
Woohoo !
rwcole @ 25
I second that!
Remember what a, um, can’t use the c word, during Kerry’s campaign?
Unfortantely, I do.
Too bad she only broke her foot.
Vodka martinis tonight, with anchovy-stuffed olives. Weird, but it works! The tuna ones are better, though.
Actually, there aren’t too many choices besides Wolf — Fox News? Tucker Carlson on MSNBC? Gahhhhh!
Eureka Springs @ 26
Yep, that’s the fabulous Maru.
Hang on, we’re experiencing a few speed bumps but we’ll get there.
g’evening maru - a name new to me… as for my drink - i’ll have a rhum with fresh lemon plz…:)
boing - inward two and a half somersaults, tuck position - no splash
g’evening everyone. I see we have hammocks! Gonna have to snap a couple for the Mod Tower.
Alfred Kelgarries @ 5
When my wife and I got married in 1979, we had adjacent condos in a building in Whittier, Alaska called Begich Towers, named after Nick Begich the Alaska congressman killed in a mysterious plane disappearance along with Hale Boggs.
After we got back from the honeymoon, we had a party where we knocked down the concrete block wall separating the condos. We served Harvey Wallbangers with sledgehammers.
I have never been able to figure out where all of the idiot teleprompter rwcole @ 27

I remember Candy Crowley- SENIOR political reporter during the 2000 campaign- among a legion of Bush ass suckers she sucked the longest- hardest- and with the most gusto.
PATHETIC!
It’s late night for me… it’s got to be past 10:30 by now!
: )
Snap or snag?
You’re earlier.
But, (really big grin) glad you’re here.
Eureka Springs @ 7
Ahh, thank you kindly
[she says, taking a long lingering refreshing sip]

you know, just when life gets perfect here in Elliott Town, my neighbor starts burning something…

Evenin’ Suz!
maru @ 32
I LOVE those anchovie stuffed olives!!!
Tucker…Ahhhhggrrraaaa….bow tie. Ick.
Maruita anyone?
oh, Elliott, thanks!
For those who were wondering about the Friday news dump, there is the announcement that the CIA will make public the “family jewels”. Less known is that Bill Mercer has withdrawn his nomination. Who is Bill Mercer? Well, this is my soon to be entry in my scandals list.
Why is Crowley Senior Political Reporter???? Why, why, why????
LS
I think he lost the glasses and bow-tie, but he’s still really icky.
(Just the few times I accidently saw him.)
you are right, demi - my fingers are tired already.. snag not snap :)
Suzanne @ 35
Suzanne!
I had snagged the prized hammock, but gave it up to Alfred K in honor of his luminous commenting.
The Bulgarian judge was not, shall we say, amused.
maru @ 32
I liked Tucker better when Shuster was subbing for him. Just give Shuster the show, already.
Girlfriend, you can Snap! something else later.
(tapping fingers on table) rhum and lemon over here plz….
Hi Maru, checked out your blog, enjoy your sense of humor! Don’t be afraid to rev up the snark at late nite, we’re all snark addicts.
Wolf would be much more impresssive on roller skates. That way he could glide grandly around his situation desk, while appearing tall. In addition, I don’t think it’s good for his health to have to yell like he does. So if they can’t move a microphone closer to him, may they could equip him with a cheerleader’s megaphone like GWB had at Yale. They could call it the situatiophone.
It’s Friday night and lets rock.

They are all actors. Tweety said so.
And howdy, Maru - I miss you, if you’re a mid-day lurker.
Pitcher of sangria, please - so refreshing on a warm summer day.
I’m usually a nicer gal, but this whole Cheney thing has got me in a nasty mood. That and the heat.
Oklahoma kiddo @ 57
Oh, nice!
Yeah, Tucker lost the tie, but he’s still a smarmy little farkpipe.
Oklahoma kiddo @ 57
This one will definitely put you “in the mood”!
I don’t know how to watch Wolf….I am so averse to TV news stuff that i am turning into an even bigger Luddite than I thought possible. MSM is very bad for your health….they are the trans fats of communicative “stuff”
LoudounLib @ 52
Unfortuantely, they’ve had Smerconish for more than shuster this week. Barf at least.
Saw that tonight, dakine — ugh!
Oooh, Candy Crowley, who spent so much time in the Lamont / Lieberman fight talking about those dirty filthy hippies protesting the war in 72. ‘Scuse me, that was ‘68 you fool. By ‘72 Nixon was deep into the Paris peace talks and trying desparately to pretend Vietnam didn’t exist. Wow. C’mon, just tell us the sun shines out HoJo’s ass and be done with it.
demi,
Cheney and Joe Lieberman — I’m so teed I could crap glass. Effing Lieberman.
Eureka Springs @ 26
our motto, eh not?
WTF IS IT NOW?
I hear myself saying that every day, all day.
Apparently it’s also time to swing…
LS@58
lol - tweety always knows his lines(repug talking points) no longer needs a script lol
Ed*ard Teller @ 36
Totally different kind of a story. Went to the funeral of a man who was in his late seventies many years ago. Wife was always the subservient type, but pretty standard for those days. After the service, I asked her what she was planning to do now. Her answer? “The first thing I’m gonna do is to drink a Harvey Wallbanger. That son-of-a-bi*ch would never let me.”
LoudounLib @ 63
Seltzer!
LS @ 58
That’s what I thought he said as well when I first heard it but the replays showed that he said “we’re all reacting here.
Much as I hate to do so, I can’t fault him for the actor comment. Even though that’s really what he is.
Where is EDP? Do I need to ask, in his stead…
What kind of fuckery is this??
hi maru -
going up to read the comments
oh hell - i guess i better get my own drink…. hey bartender - over here
LS @ 48
Why is Crowley Senior Political Reporter???? Why, why, why????
‘Cause she’s the Heavy-Weight Champion of the World!!
Maru,
Doesn’t Lieberman look like that WB cartoon dog, what was his name Droopy?
Only Lieberberman is a bad puppy. Very bad.
Cheney is just f***ing EVIL.
tw3k @ 23
ewwwww
Hi Maru…
Welcome to FDL!! It is a thrill to see you over
hear. Like your site..I visit it every night and
manage to get a few giggles…love your pixs..some beautiful spots..
Hope you will return again…and Wolfie!! Isn’t he the pits?? I nearly puke each time he says to stay tuned to the BEST POLITICAL STATION!! Can they be more biased! And Crowley…someone should send her to Weight Watchers or that type of place..
Now since we are into the social hour..can you
mix up a Stinger for me!! Yum and then I will

Hello from Boston….Moesie
Mutant Poodle @ 70
Awesome…love me some Benny Goodman!
Loo Hoo. @ 72
juslin @ 77
what’ll ya have?
LoudounLib @ 63
Back in the ’80s I was out at the local watering hole where I was living in NH and the DJ played In The Mood. Got up and was dancing and some kid barely 21 said “Boy, this new music is tough to dance to.”
I kept my mouth shut for once.
Evening all, especially our new guest host, Maru. Looks like the waters are inviting and drinks are at hand. I will have a large Bushmills (Black Label) on the rocks if I may. Mighty fine dive Ms Suzanne, even if some of the judges are less discerning.
LoudounLib @ 82
Not to mention the great Gene Krupa…
Evenin’ DrD
DrDick @ 86
Evenin’, Dr. D.
Mutant Poodle @ 87
Oh yeah, he was workin’ it out!
rwcole @ 45
I dunno…does Maru wanna?
dakine01 @ 85
thats’ funny
ps where in NH? had family there once, White River Junction VT.
That was over-the-river and through-the-woods
It may have been Keith Olberman, who said that Cheney is his own country and we should invade him. It reruns in an hour so I can check.
Hugh @ 47
Mercer’s name shows up over 40 times in the DOJ document dumps, including a section of his very own (Part 11-1, April 26, 2007). Mr. Mercer, the original absentee-landlord, would have a lot of esplainin’ to do, Lucy.
Frank33 @ 93
yeah, that rings a bell.
Frank33 @ 93
It was. He was continuing a riff from last night.
Not much going on tonight, Dr. D. Dick Cheney is a separate branch of government, and Tom Cruise may want to buy the Galaxy…
Frank, I think that was KO yesterday, calling cheeny a rogue nation and our only option was to invade (paraphrased).
Elliott @ 92
This was in Londonderry.
Ahh! Anyone else have cats walking all over their keyboard?
CNN: the best political team in television. Whatever, Wolf. Grrrrakkkk.
Lieberman even SOUNDS like Droopy!
LOL — I read somewhere that Olberman said Cheney was a “Rogue Nation”
Mutant Poodle @ 97
Actually Dick Cheney is a separate universe and I think Tom Cruise lives there.
maru @ 100
the grey haired guy is on the east.
Frank33 @ 93
It was KO.
maru @ 100
My cat avoids the keyboard by stepping on my chest before weding himself in the chair beside me. Of course, he then starts attacking and/or trying to lick my hands while I type.
juslin @ 77
It’s serve yourself Friday, Jus.
DrDick @ 102
He is a definition of himself.
dakine01 @ 105
buy the cat a mouse :]
I tell you guys. Never watch cable for news. It can only be enjoyed as your own version of Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Listen for a few seconds. Turn down the sound. Make rude comments. Repeat until disgusted.
hi all! had to take a break to put dad to bed. my freudian psych elements are boggled by the situation of me taking care of my dad, who is 91 with alzheimers, while I’m going fast on 65.
Anyway, read up on all the comments, but will thank everyone here to save spammin the server. And MP, you make me blush. Don’t do that, i’m not that good looking to start with. And it was the prozac anyway.
I had my first harvey wallbanger in Essex House in NYC in 1972. My wife and I were there on business for me and museum crawling for her, on unka sam’s nickel. I had heard about the HW and ordered it without any big fuss. The waiter came back followed by the head bartender himself, who proudly presented me with my drink, and my wife her chardonay. The bartender then informed me, “sir, you’ll be dancing after about two of those. just so you know.” He bowed and went back to the kitchen or whereever. My wife NEVER let me live that one down! (I didn’t have another, I had other plans for that evening….)
maru @ 100
Actually my cat was attacking my feet under the desk a few moments ago, but seems to have lost interest and wandered off.
maru @ 62
That is a perfect description.
What Is A Cheney? This has become a big debate. All candidates should be required to answer this question.
punaise @ 91
Oh, boy. Punaise is at the top of his program. Suzanne, you’ve got competition!
Maru, are you sure you know what you signed up for around these parts?? Welcome.
He does sound like Droopy! That whiney, whiney whine.
Oh, yeah, that reminds me…bartender, uno mas vino por favor.
And, thanks for the music!
I’m in a better Mood already!
LOL, Loo Hoo - I already trashed one thread today, so I’ll go easy…
Hugh @ 109
Hugh, comment on my pop’s blog. It’d make his day :)
MP, I think I’ll go for a swim. Want the hammock back?
And the next debate should have the following questions:
For dems: “Everyone raise your hand if you believe Dick Cheney is the fourth branch of government”.
For reps: “Everyone raise your hand if you believe Dick Cheney evolved from a lizard to be the fourth branch of government rather than being created by God directly during the 6 24 hour days.”
tw3k @ 108
I’ll send you one, kitty b collects them — live.
maru on Rudy upstairs
Elliott @ 119
I used to have a cat who thought it was just the bestest thing ever to deposit the gift of a dead rat on the seat of the car. Led to keeping the windows rolled up all summer (which is 90-100 degrees every day).
Elliott @ 119
My previous companion used to bring them to me in the middle of the night and dump them on the bed at which point the mouse, cat, and I all went in different direcitons…
dakine01 @ 105
A massed attack of cats-on-keyboard a few minutes ago. Took the hint and fed them supper. They have all finished and found nice places to nap. As a friend’s bumper sticker says, “Dogs have masters, cats have staff.” They’ve got me well trained.
Mine just leaves trails of mouse blood all over the house.
NewDealFarmGrrrlll @ 123
I have it on good authority that cat’s date their calendar from year 1 ADM (about 3400 BC) meaning After the Domestication of Monkeys.
My son introduces his cat as “a middle class cat. he has a house and two servants and the servants have already started raising the next generation of servants.”
Muzzy @ 30
This means the days begin getting shorter now. This is always the saddest day of the year for me.
maru @ 124
at least they’re dead.<
