"When George Bush leaves office, let’s make sure he takes his friends with him."
What a lovely gift to the Jim Himes campaign.

scuse me, while I kiss this guy
Right on.
Tongue? do I see tongue?
LOL!
Good one.
Is this post for real?
http://thumbsnap.com/v/pynWFrvN.jpg
dem internets iz powrful!!!!! Love it
I guess you can say Chris Shay kisses ass.
Yeah Shays looked positively fluttery. Wonder if he picked one foot up when he smooched.
oh the little pugnacious DON
nope. just a dry little peck on the jowl.
keep seeing the link come and go
LOL!
Do you think a Jim Himes commercial with Jimi Hendrix playing in the background during the replay of the kiss would work?
Time for another “Kiss” float!
It’s kinda like “Brokeback Mountain,” except it makes you want to puke.
they should all really kiss his ring
Most excellent comment!
HEEEEEEEEEEEre’s PunkinHaid!
What is it with all these MEN kissing Bush? I thought they were “manly” men – so they should have patted him on his behind – no?
LOL. Nice to see you around, MrsK8.
what will chimps last day as Don be like? will he go quietly?
He looked like a man who knew he f*cked up. he couldn’t dart away quick enough.

Why is Russert on Olbermanns show? Russert is a Republican tool.
linkee no workee for me – “video no longer available” message
MSNBC: This isn’t analysis. It is cheerleading. I don’t care who you support, this has to be disturbing.
Hey Jane, the video has been bounced by YouTube it seems; link now bad.
You know, I was remembering the story about one of the congresscritters who would ask Pres. Clinton to autograph his name tag etc to give to young constituents back home. Clinton rose above partisanship and was happy to do it. So when the same guy came and asked Bush to do the same, Bush and Rove said Nah, probly end up on eBay. And whatdya know, Bush can’t get enough signing done for his cronies tonight. What a guy!
Forget which congressman it was and where I read it (sorry) but it jumped out at me tonight.
I can’t believe they have already forgotten about the STFU speech!
On to the campaigns and Boosh is history.
Ah, heck. It was just a tiny little peck on the cheek. But, maybe that’s just the beginning of the eruption.
Carolyn, that image is going to stay burned on my retinas. Don’t do that!
No one should have to look at a face like Russert’s on their teevee screens.
Seeing that big, fat pumpkin head prompted me to change the channel to an Olivier/Vivien Leigh movie on TCM.
Watch it here:
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/…..ts-a-kiss/
You remember all those lies BushCo told seven years ago about Clinton’s staff trashing the place? I could see these guys actually doing it.
EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
So..is Shays Bush’s new man-date?
So nice to see you. I hope you’re well!
Barney Frank did NOT kiss or ask for autograph! Whose manlier?
Well, really, after the Leiberman for Leiberman campaign, what WAS he thinking? I wouldn’t be surprised if he recoiled in horror, because he saw his own future.
It was up but now it’s not. Happens with YouTube sometimes.
31/2 minutes about the SOTU and then on to the horse race….
Pretty much puts the Quack in the lame duck….
And it’s lovely to see you, too, Carolyn — especially when you’re being the smart-aleck extraordinaire! There’s so little to even smile about these days. Somebody like you who makes me laugh out loud gets my deep gratitude….
I want to see the moving van at the door of the WH packing all their stuff to take to their little old ranch in Crawford. Hope he stays there and we don’t have to ever see him again.
I’m glad Dems are finally going to the mattresses on FISA. My fingers are crossed that the success is gonna stick.
Thanks MrsK. You need to get your laughs in whenever you can these days. It’s been grim all over.
Apropos of your comment: Did you see the young man get pushed aside by an old bastard tonight while seeking a Dubya scribble?
hope this happens to fukknozzle and all his cronies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_odSSNFbdE
There won’t be much since they’ve been cleaning house and throwing stuff out as they go…
Webb up soon on msnbc.
Hang in there MrsK8! WE luvs you in this household. xxxooo VG
You would have thought that he would have known that this wasn’t the thing to do after Lieberman had that damn float follow him around CT for a year.
No! But I gotta say, having attempted to get coffee and donuts with seniors in the midst, I’m not surprised!
Brian Williams, faithful Republican toady, reports that Bush was tearful every time he mentioned the military. Gag me with a spoon!
Hey, Margot! Looks like all my favoritest Pupsters are here tonight!
Life’s been rough lately (mostly medical stuff), but we in our house remain of good cheer, chins up. And seeing y’all here warms the heart so.
Hope all is well with you!
Thanks egregious. I had turned it off. My kids asked “if it upsets you so much, why do you watch?” I told them “it’s my patriotic duty to get pissed off!”
Who do you think got a boner? Bush? Shays? Al of these? None of these?
Webb up on MSNBC
I just heard Brit Hume say Senator Obama would be on after the break. Has Barack stopped his FOX boycott?
trying to make a legacy ,when all there is buckets of blood
Bush can get tearful. Only Hillary can’t.
Mrs. K8, how wonderful to see you tonight of all nights! You were one of the first to welcome me here and I’ll always remember that you were nice to shy newbie. Hope things are going ok-ish. cheers.
nooo he’ll be kicking and screaming the whole way…. and prob bomb iran as a gift to the neocons ;}
Webb done.
Shorter Webb: Bush is full of BS. We all know that.
Sadly, yes. He was on there the morning after New Hampshire.
Ewww. Please don’t make me think about this! Horrible horrible image! I’m going to sleep soon! Nightmares!
he is incapable of any emotion,Babs demolished him years ago
brian williams also said something just at the start of the stfu about bush liking the trains running on time (shrudder)
Smooch!!!!
Mr. K8 will be coming upstairs to get at a program on this computer for work, so in case I suddenly disappear that’s why….But I’ll always be coming back again to the Lake for sustenance.
Am I the only one who didn’t watch that horseshit? I don’t need him to tell me a damn thing. Listen t’me, Fucktard. The state of the Union blows.
yep. meanwhile some was chatting about a texas basketball team and he was answering in an informed manner. The pres. can multitask as well as talk out of his ass. now that’s new.
that is what im thinkin …his future is ignominity and he well knows it
{{{Mrs K8}}}
damn – everybody’s up here – nobody ever tells me anything.
Anyone else find it interesting that almost immediately after the Chimp’s last SOTU, the pundits have already moved on, and are talking about Florida, Ted Kennedy, and the campaign which is actually happening?
Brian Williams notwithstanding, that was the most irrelevant, boring, pathetic attempt at a SOTU that I’ve ever had the misfortune of observing.
When an entire political party, the Repub’s, have had all that time to drink up, fire up, and get ready to bring the house down, only to fall into a state of depressed golf-clapping, I’d say that that was one truly awful speech.
Speakin’ of Babs, Babs McKulski voted te right way, today, huh?
Webb insulted the Iraqi’s. We are babysitters. We destroy their country, their president and his sons, intentionally turn the population against each other, create chaos and mayhem, rape, pillage and kill, and now we are babysitters. How f**king crass!
Digg this post
Boner?
Oh, like Thanks for that.
It’s just too ewwwwwwwwwww for me.
Now, I’m gonna have to come up with a totally different pix in my head to go to bed…with. dangling meant.
What did he say about FISA not getting passed?
dosido, hey there!
Thanks. I was shy too when I first showed up here, years back now. Pachacutec and others reached out warmly, and this place has felt like home ever since. It’s all a long chain of helping hands, isn’t it? Just the thing needed for the cold, dark years of difficulty ahead. And I’m sure you and others reach out to the next newbie in the chain of support! Onward!
??? I read that as with dangling meat, and I felt kind of horrified.
Pretty gross aint it? HeeHee. I thought so. That’s why I broght it up.
Jane, by driving that kiss home four times shows you paid attention in film school. It works.
Mrs. K8 was the first person to respond to me when I finally got up the nerve to post my first comment. I’ve never forgotten her act of kindness to me and have tried to pass it on to every newbie at the Lake.
Thanks! Big hugs comin’ back atcha!!!
I’m not holdin my breath. I’m very confident in Harry’s ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
Oh, FISA. Yeah, well, he led up to it talking about heroes who are keeping Murca safe, and stopping terrists from blowing up LA, and we have to give them the tools they need,… and as of Friday they won’t be able to do their jobs anymore and terrists can come attack us – all because mean dems wanna talk instead of vote, when time for talk is OVER.
Then the rethugs all stood up and hoorayed like mad. Dems sat there stony and glaring.
i think yes
we are reduced to hoping and praying our dem leaders do the right thing…it so very upsetting
I MeaNt dangling particile.
Didn’t mean to Horrify ya.
No meat tonight.
If ya know what I mean.
Like, in a Lotta ways.
What did he say about FISA not getting passed?
Not that much, or at least that I caught. He said *Congress* must get this done, but didn’t make much use of his chance to lay it at the feet of the Dem’s.
‘Course, I coulda been dozing – during *The Worst SOTU Evah!!”
Demi! Cute small animals! Baby chix! Daschhunds chasing butterflies through tall grass!
Did that help?
Gosh, everyone at FDL is so excited by the Shays- Bush peck on the cheek that they are jumping the gun on new posts!!!!
you do :o}
Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed the “kissin’ o the Bush.”
See. Typhoid George got himself a kiss and at least one bald head rub tonight.
And a terrific job of it you do!
All while pulling off those stylish and breathtaking dives of yours….a woman of many talents!
:-)
How’s Token, the Tiny Wonder Dog?
they have been spying since the day they took office….they are so very full of feces
Today was no victory, really. Just one vote that it was nicver to win than lose. Still a big fight on our hands and I have ZERO confidence in Reid.
Sounds like Bush SOTU has been pushed aside; the topic is the campaigns for who will replace him, and we’re still a year out.
Thank you, honey.
And, nice floating flute-like music.
Sadly, I think I do know.
oh crap, all the nausua from the STFU speech and i forgot
scurring up dive tower
boing boing B-E-L-L-Y F-L-O-P (just like georgie’s speech)
Let’s vote on the extension, no?
leave it to gene from wapo to put it in perspective..
My SOTU dedicated to Bush and his dawgs.
Everything’s Broken.
okay so here is the non sequitor….they have been listening since day 1…how did they miss THE PLOT?
me too. Back in the day, when I took my first shot at trying a link (in HaloScan days) – which looked funky – she came right back and said “why that’s a perfectly fine link, dear”.
Or something similarly sweet.
Hiya MrsK8!
He said something like this last year. I was not impressed then either.
The Bush Boom reverberates Down Under.
Ouch, Suzanne. Nice to see you got your boing back. It was missing last night.
Mrs. K8, Token is snoozing in his bed in the chair next to mine. He is wearing a bright blue sweater and snoring. Same thing he did when boosh was speaking.
go KO!!put them lies to rest
This Gene fellow is not a bad guy. Much better than David Gregory.
I just keep thinking about the “wide stance”; can’t we just get rid of these people. They have earned their reputation for man-boy sex and killing people. Sometimes I get almost giddy that there should be only 1 year left.
Ouch! That hurts just watching!! (just like Georgie’s speech)
Too bad it didn’t look like it hurt Georgie — he must be taking the right “cocktail” to block the pain.
My reply button ain’t workin’. Any suggestions?
DC is the most cynical real estate on the planet,imo
Joe Biden on MSNBC.
Those clapping fools at the STFU speech, the rethugs, reminded me of the old Soviet newreels of Breznev speeches where they listened to the lies and clapped to save their hides.A Potemkin Village kind of thing.
Slidin’ Biden comes out swinging.
you remember david gregory from the turdblossom dance and rap routine….. he cant kiss repug asses fast enough
Good comparison.
yes,yes…youve got it right….ickkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Ya, he’s probably dreaming of all those Super Bowls he can watch in the comfort of his home.
Me too. Time to get out of Dodge.
try clearing your cache bfl – most problems like that can be resolved by first doing a hard refresh of the page and if that does not resolve it, clear your cache.
How was that governor chick’s response?
I wonder if they had a contest to see who could jump highest out of there seat after Bush mentioned the FISA bill?
Slidin’ Biden – Bush checked his box. Made his sales call. – Good job Biden!
Howdy, jayt!!
How ya holdin’ up under this latest blizzard of excrement falling down on us all?
Get a life? hehehe…. no, try clearing cache, closing browser, etc.
You nailed that perfectly, Jim.
Sweet dreams, y’all.
Working girl has to go in to work Early.
I’m going to think of, besides cute little furry animals romping through daisies, the fact that we Never Have to listen to another State of the Bullshit speech from Him again. Yay!
That and my sleepytime tea should help me sleep like a baby.
Oh sheesh I know…but one brief shining moment…
I’ll f you.
a snoozer imo – not forceful enough
Biden: “It was disengaged from reality.”
Joe: Devoid of reality… wow, not pulling any punches!
As riveting as a tax preparation.
-G
Spoiler-free A Daily Show comment: Check out A Daily Show tonight for Stewart’s take on Bill Clinton.
Hey MrsK8 – I join the others in wishing you well!
Token’s got the right idea. Doggies is sooooo smart.
Everyone giggling at “Protective Overwatch.”
the consensus is: snoozer.
she’s a nice enough lady but not what was needed.
Milk. Toast. Conciliatory. Droning. Calls for bipartisanship. IMHO, really awful choice of messaging and personality.
Sibelias’ response will look good on paper, but yeah, not really forceful.
(((MrsK8))) -
so glad to see you here tonight!
Fox is asking for texting them, was the speech Excellent, fair or poor.
Good night, demi.
Sadly, it was pretty awful. Her delivery was monotone and ever-so-measured, a great soporific though.
OT, but not really as BTHTBR (Bad things happening to bad republicans) is always on topic at the lake:
The NYT get snarky about 911liani’s fading attractiveness to FL voters:
Huh. The Candidate of Hope vs. The Wife of The Man from Hope.
The one good difference I’ve noticed in both A Daily Show and The ColberT ReporT is they pull fewer punches. I want the writers back with a fair share of the billions of online fees, but wow, those two guys are really tearing into people.
that governor chick’s
Could we leave the sexist talk to the Rethugs?
I always think of snowfalkes when I tink of blizzards. That’s a pretty disgusting image when ya think about it. Bizzard of excrement? That’s what it is, though.
OH NO IT’S ANDY CARD!!!
heh – cancelled my response to BFL – you got much better, as usual.
And I never thanked you for your brilliant comment, in the IndyStar, in response to the horrible and blatant racism and hatred on display that day. Long live GSD!!
second try. NYT tries to get snarky about 911iani’s diminished attraction:
Andrew Card is douchebag who helped bully a deathly ill man. He is sack of lying crap.
-G
A practical speech? Realistic?
bush apologist extraordinaire LOL
Andy Card about to cry because no one appreciates his guy anymore.
Andrew card on ush: A sobering call to reality.
Wow
Thanks.
-G
sure you did andy card!!
bmaz — warm greetings and thanks to you, sweetie. I love all this rain we’re getting, don’t you? Hope it puts a teensy dent in the drought. And hope all is well with you, too.
Card called Tweety “Crass, uh, Chris”. Priceless!
thank you kirk
Remember when Andy Card almost got booed off the stage at a college?
Haaaaa..haaa….you loser.
-G
thats right all 7 years its the dems fault – goddamn how long will repugs pull this shit?!
Card trying to sell us on how important earmarks are. But all together, they equal about 3 months in Iraq.
{{{{KIRK!!!}}} Right back at ya
I can’t comment here often, but try to read as much as I can, and I have to say I’ve been enjoying from afar your writings. Such spirit!
The Lake is place of so much passion and talent and good energy. That’s why taking a frequent dip here is so good for our health!
Hi noonan! And, since this is an eve for celebrating old-timers at the lake, HOW ARE you? You ran for public office. More courage than many of us! Thanks.
Thanks for that little item. It’s so heartwarming to see Rudeeeee humiliated in public like that.
Near as I can tell, it’s unanimous. That Kansas lady sucked. Why didn’t they use that kid from Maryland?
I didn’t know we were allowed to say the doucheb_g-word. Good to know.
Pick a state least likely to elect a Dem as Governor. It’s Kansas. She is remarkable, but the wrong choice, I think, to bring the necessary fire.
Kiss Of Death.
P*(&^% ew!
“Purple Haze runnin round my brain…” scuse me, while I kiss this guy what a strange scene.
Judas
No vote… as Bmaz points out in her dialogue with Cboldt in FISA telecom #1..I think.
Very important a no vote gets nothing but expiration and back to thr original FISA and no immunity. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Stephanopolis making it up the way he wouldn’t have been allowed to do at Columbia:
“He has a lot more good to talk about in Iraq this year.”
But of course, the multimillion dollar poly sci major failed to stipulate precisely what.
He has 5 dead soldiers today, and he has Alito and Roberts and the nominee Romney vowing their kids will never be there.
Yuck.
When RFK re-entered the Presidential race, it was a speech at University of Kansas on March 18th, 1968 that created the wave of energy for his surge in popularity with five months to go before the Chicago convention.
I was hoping there would have been a “connect” to his speech. I think the Dems were hoping that too. It did not happen. But it is a speech worth reading and John Edwards would be smart to pull from the speech…
All of us NEED to read THIS speech… Christy might even want to write about it…
http://www.jfklibrary.org/Hist…..Kansas.htm
It is about the spirit of America to rise up and be better. Our country was in a dismal state in 1968… The parallels are amazing. Please, all take the time to read it and comment… It might even make a great backdrop to having RFK Jr. come to the Lake for a live blog visit…
