yoo hoo

Eli!

Hiya!

Eli, Aloha!

Suzanne!

Aloha, CTut!

Leisure Guy!

Eli!! Great catch!!

OMG..he is clearly confus-ed now.

Father Bong used to tell me: “If I knew now, half of what I thought I knew then, I would know twice as much as you think I know now”.

;~P

Can McSame POSSIBLY be dumber than Chimpy?

So true.

Clint Eastwood asked me out once.

its a tough job but he seems determined to do it, tex

I hope someone is indexing and cataloging all these McCain “gaffes” being presented to us for use in the general election.

It would be a pity if they weren’t put to good use.

I mentioned this in the thread below, but it’s on topic here! :) Dan Abrams on his show on MSNBC is introducing a new segment called “Teflon John” about how the press treats McCain with kid gloves. Tonight will be about Mccain’s gaffe yesterday.

Didn’t someone once palaver about known knows, known unknowns, and unknown unknowns?

John McBu’ush to you, Sir.

McCant, reminds me more of Charles Bronson, Kill’em all, and let God sort’em out…!

It was in my inbox, and I was just too tickled by it.

I could not agree more. McSame, thanks Paul Rosenberg for that moniker, I a power-mad nutball who is absolutely convinced that it’s……

HIS TURN GOTDAMN IT! I’VE WAITED AND WAITED AND NOW IT’S MY TURN.

The Greeks had a word for it, don’t they always, and the word is hubris.

But….

McSame ain’t the only one who’s got a bad case of egomania. There’s this little group called the ‘Committee of Three’ here in the Blogosphere who need to come down to earth for a while.

Yo! Selise…..this that post you were asking for.

Warning if your a big fan of certain A-Listers and just stay home. My post will not make you happy.

Yeah, the folks you think you know best can sometimes be the biggest disappointments.

Tell all.

actually, i think McCain is dumb and thinks he’s smart, that Bush is smart, but chooses to be dumb because dumb gives him an excuse to fail … but i’m not a psychologist, so it’s just based on this gut thing

LOL! perfect

John McCain may be an idiot, but he’s their designated idiot. And they have proven themselves capable of installing an idiot in the Oval once before.

Gotta wonder if his conflation tryout is to get some Cheney love.

An excellent catch, indeed, Eli! Guy hasn’t got a prayer.

I’m just finishing up a post at my place about how it’s not so much the media trying to cover for McCain, so much as that they tend to minimize anything that conflicts with their narrative (McCain/Republicans strong on foreign policy, Democrats weak), and emphasize anything that reinforces it.

ding!

But, what he knew then was unknowable then, but what he knows now should be knowable, but it isn’t, because it is quite simply, unknowable, because now was then now…which is unknowable, but if you know something now, you are really talking about then, which is now, now.

Rummy said something like that….I forget what it was exactly….I should have asked him then about now.

Can McSame POSSIBLY be dumber than Chimpy?

Yes.

Truly I am beginning to think this is so. Think the problem might be that Lieberman is his minder?

That’s what I said.

;~)

I have a headache :)

I was the cocktail waitress in Chico, CA (75ish). He was doing a movie in the area, and a huge group came in. It was the best tip night of my waitressing career. He asked me up (I shouldn’t have said out) to his room after work.

Alas, I said no.

I knew you would understand….*G*

I almost used it as an intro quote.

The Unknown
As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don’t know
We don’t know.

You were a 75ish cocktail waitress???

Ahhh.h.h.. Rummie: The known knowns, the known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns…

Honorary PhD from The Densa Society.

Play Misty?

Written that way, it appears…written.

Hooray!

Rummy’s just so Zen.

He must have been smokin’ pot, that’s all there is to it…or LSD.

Alas! You could have kept the blue dress!

How big were the tips?

My son, while working as a bartendeer at a huge party Irecord release or something like that) got a $100 tip from some big-name rapper, whose name I’ve forgotten. (I’m a popular culture moron.)

Yes, and Clint was about 50…the perv.

I flew on an airplane with Morley Safer!

Aw…come on…he was hot…

You know, I just don’t know about that.

I would suggest “Pop Culture Challenged”

;~P

My sister’s been hit on by Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin… that I know of.

And my best friend’s wife used to date Mike Eruzione of Hockey Miracle fame.

that’d been ’bout forty years ago?

*ducks*

I don’t even know. It was shot in the Oroville area, iirc.

I got an email from Jane Hamsher!

No.

This has been another edition of simple answers to simple questions.

Dang.

I;ve flown on airplanes with Warren Christopher, Paul Volcker, and Robert Reich. Do I need to get a life when these are the kind of people I recognize in public places?

Ooh. Cafferty hit McCain on this today:

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/.....p-is-that/

At least we got some coverage, however small.

Of those three, Mike is the cutest. IMO

You don’t know how bad I am. Moron is perhaps a generous description.

I flew on an airplane with Morley Safer!

I gave Morley Safer a nickel at Dulles one time so he could call a hotel and get a room for the night since a lot of flights were being canceled due to weather on a Friday afternoon. Instead of getting out at 4:30 Friday afternoon, my flight finally left for Syracuse at midnight.

hell yeah, you sound like a stodgy old academe like me!

Smokin’ LSD doesn’t work. Trust me.

Seems like I got $250 from that party alone that night. It was huge in those days, considering I was paying $35. rent on the guest house I lived in. $350 that night. It was huge. Clint picked up the tab for everyone. That’s when he asked me “up”.

A really nice Aussie hooker gave me cab fare when I was on R&R the day after we landed on the moon! If I hadn’t gotten back to the center on time I would have gone to LBJ!

I spent about an hour and a half in a hotel room with B-1 Bob Dornan and Hendrick Hertzberg.

-G

I got offered to do a three way with Peter Alan and one of his boys in the early 80’s. I said no.

Oddjob/Professor Toru Tanaka.

I think that’s actually the only even remotely famous person I’ve ever been on a plane with. I did see Terence Stamp at the airport once, and a woman who looked just like Theresa Russell but wasn’t…

That sounds bad on so many levels.

Indeedy. I could have gone up for some conversation, for gawd’s sake. As WC Fields says, youth is wasted on the young.

Heh, heh, heh. I surely wouldn’t know.

What’s the frequency Bob?

Just a half hour? That’s pretty quick for a three-way! :-)

Yesh, $350 would be huge for 1975. My son’s $100 tip came around 2005.

Watch it. Clint’s 33 years older too. Where is that rascal?

Kenneth

You & the Aussie hooker had landed on the moon the day before she gave you taxi fare? Far out!

I didn’t meet Chrissie Hynde in LA 20 years ago, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express…

Was your sister stupid too?

I gave Morley Safer a nickel at Dulles one time so he could call a hotel and get a room for the night…

Wow. Just five cents covered the cost of a phone call AND a hotel room! :)

… snuggling with some 30 year old, telling her about that waitress who missed her chance back in ‘75 … *g*

I fly from NYC airports so it raises the probability of seeing some public figure.

Ooh. Cafferty hit McCain on this today:

At least someone at CNN isn’t carryin’ water.
Have you noticed that Campbell Brown chick cuts people off, spouts WH talking points and generally acts like she’s on Pox nooz?
Can’t say I’m surprised though.

Ah, to be 19 and headed back to the Nam, that will do a lot for your sense of urgency!

… tee hee hee …

what’s the name of that stooge she’s married to and isn’t he a rethug - or am i getting my media/political marriages confused again.

That’s where I saw Stamp and the Theresa Russel lookalike. I can’t remember where I was flying when I saw Oddjob.

I had a camcorder too.

I was doing a thing for MTV about the NH primary and ended up hanging around with Dornan and Hertzberg and went back to Dornan’s room at the Sheraton in Bedford(The one HST talks about in Fear and Loathing)…and listened to Hertzberg question Dornan as Dornan raved on in his lunacy.

-G

This is one funny ass thread, wish I wasn’t sleepy!

What a coincidence, my brother was hit on by Kevin Costner and Stephen Baldwin … *g*

Well, Costner was married at the time and she said he was kinda sleazy. And that Baldwin was *really* sleazy. This was way before his born-again/cheesy-sci-fi-movies days.

Good Lord! Eli. how on Earth did you dig THIS up! How awesome that you did. yeah, there was a time I liked McWrong, my own self. Sad to see what he’s become! and I don’t know how that happens to a human. makes it kinda scarey too.

Spew!!!

apparat - chick

She’s the wife of former CPA stooge Dan Senor.

-G

I don’t know, but someone representing Democrats did mention that her hubby worked in someones White House. I’ll bet my dwindling 401K that its a repiglican.

‘ere! This’ll keep ya going a while…

media MSM/political Bushco marriages confused again

Hey, I met Wilt Chamberlin too! (He didn’t ask me out, but it was disco time, and he was among the first to do big time bling.) Met him working at the Jabber Wockey in Hotel Circle in San Diego.

My son (the wingnut, so this is appropriate) had his picture taken with Rudy, when his car stopped in the neighborhood & he got out to buy a sanwich or something as my son was passing. Camera cell phones can come in handy.

Actually, Cafferty was on MSNBC and Abram’s Teflon John segment…!

Really, it was e-mailed to me. I didn’t do anything other than recognize that it was hilarious.

Some weird kinda orgy.

As if…

Loo Hoo
I think you made the right choice.
And, I think they are mostly all sleazy.
No respect. They see everyone as tools.
You are No Tool, dear.

Well, here’s to your sense of humor and knowing what’s important! LOL!

thanks for fixing that mary mcc

yea, the kind where the citizens take it in the a**.

You’re telling me … I never knew there were Taxis on the Moon … *g*

Oh, well. I stand corrected. The 45 minutes I was watching was all “Obama’s Pastor Problem” and how the Democrats are screwed because we can’t pick a nominee.

I hereby dub John McCain: McTool

So it shall be.

And it is McInsane that he doesn’t know what he clearly used to know, and when Lieberliar told him it was “extremist terrorists”…he said “extremists”…he left off “terrorists”…Geez, isn’t that the operative word for these folks…??? D’oh!

Ummm. This is CNN.

This all makes me realize how remote from important people my life has been. *sigh* Does it count that in New York, once, someone thought they recognized me but realized that they were wrong? Before I could figure out who they thought I was? So I don’t even know who the presumably famous person might be whom I might look like. Have looked like.

I went out dancing with a Denver Broncos player by the name of Riley Odoms (Or maybe he was from Houston Oilers & they were playing in Denver.) That was also in 1975, and we made eye contact at a restaurant in Denver where we were both eating solo. He’s the only person who answered the Q: How tall are you, in a funny way. He said 6′4-1/4″ (and that didn’t include the afro). I guess that extra quater inch counts in pro-ball. BTW, I’m 5′3″ so we made quite a pair. It was the night before the first pre-season game, he had a curfew and I can remember a speeding car.

Diddle, dawdle…

Can we find video of McCain saying that on Larry King??? The similar statement by Cheney has been used to great effect.

Ahh, I was talking about Gen. Barry Cafferty… and his takedown of McCan’t…! ;-)

I’m of the mind that probably, they are patriots. They want their country back too!

Father Bong also once told me: “Once I thought I was wrong… I was mistaken”.

I sometimes get told I look like Hillary Clinton. *ducking*

You’re right. He just wanted to play.

He was a Bronco. I lived in Denver back then.

I once went out with a whole bunch of people that I later realized I never should have gone out with.

Tell your son to watch out for those big-time rappers on the down-low who tip well.

Anderson Cooper is interviewing Barack Again. He’s on now. CNN
