What happened to Jane’s post?

Did someone take down Jane’s 3:00 pm post about the GOP leaning on CNN and MSNBC to not run the McCain 100 year commercial? When I went to refresh I got a “no such post” (404 error) message. What gives?

Christie,

What is your take on McCain’s Appalachia tour? Is he making noises that will get folks’ attention there?

How would the photographer miss the boobs? Shoot her from the back?

We now join Nancy Drew for the frightening case of the disappearing post.

First the video went down. Then the whole post. The RNC really doesn’t want that video seen.

Christy,
I liked the quote from Froomkin that was attributed to Pamela Anderson myself. It explains a lot:

Toby Harnden writes in the Telegraph that “Anderson joked afterwards that she had ‘thought this was the ‘White Trash Correspondents’ Dinner.’”

We’re working on getting the video fixed and will bring Jane’s post back soon. Sorry about the delay.

Toby Harnden writes in the Telegraph that “Anderson joked afterwards that she had ‘thought this was the ‘White Trash Correspondents’ Dinner.’”
—–
It was.

OK

We thought we had a gooper invasion.

Bush is kind of funny in the Harold and Kumar movie.

Only in that he’s trying to use the poor here as prop that he could have given a rat’s ass about up to now. He’s done nothing on poverty here through his entire political career — so…um…not so much, really.

The correspondants’ dinner went straight to hell after Colbert’s performance, and as a direct result of same. Colbert pointed out how cozy they are with each other and they’ve never recovered.

Hiya Christy! Hi y’all!

How do people get invitations to this dinner- sounds like a strange affair—I’m seein flamin bimbos everywhere.

Who took our free press, and what did they do with them?

Bribed em

I’m having a little trouble working up sympathy for “Mr. Wistful”.

For those who just can’t wait, the DNC ad (and of course a handy form to fill in to make a donation) is here.

Do click through on the Froomkin link — he’s got several other great links in his post that are worth a chuckle or two…

That’s good news. Harold Pollack (in HuffPost) seems to think McBush is hitting something that may resonate.

Where is Jane’s post on the “100 Year War”??!!!

wow. I got lost in the toobz.

But great post, Christy.

Biting my tongue till it bleeds.
Thank you Christy…..
Lol

Her video had a hiccup and it will be back. Try not to blow a gasket…Jane’s working on it as fast as she can…

He is hitting good notes — they’d be more worthwhile if he’d actually done something at some point to back them up. But his record speaks for itself…for years and years of nothing…

Hi Christy -
“botox” link - I never ever click on celebrity stories - but last week that one proved too tempting - some of them can only be described as grotestque or plaintiff -

and as my kids would say Froomkin is gangsta!

Well, the counter to that comes in two parts:

1. Quote Thoreau: “Actions speak louder than words…”
2. McBush’s actions on the matter are nonexistant. So why does he care now, and why should any of us believe he’ll care after election day?

BC

Apparently Pamela carried her credentials in with her to the room.

Look through the “slide show” at that link but prepare to be generally disgusted. With a couple of exceptions who decided to age as humans rather than as caricatures.

How will the GW Clusterfuck administration end- with a bang? Or a whimper?

Think I hear some whimpering.

I don’t think I would want to go to that dinner, no matter what they were serving.

it took me soooo long to get thru that article.
Because, I had to send the links to everyone. takes time!
WHAT A TRAVESTY.

that’s just… well…..
it reminded me of my take of AVP II. that was the stupidest movie i ever saw.
the ONLY thing that saved it, sort of vaguely, was the fact that it was made during the Bush regime. NO RESPONSE to disaster thing going on.
lol

wow,
i LOVED that pic, tho. MUST USE! next hangover.
lol

Here’s a good caption:

Former secretary of state Colin Powell kisses the hand of actress Jenny McCarthy

Doesn’t even mention the obvious slobbering by the Secy of State.

Well, it will be expected of you when you’re elected President so start planning your jokes and how you will insult the Media now so you can tell the jokes without getting sick to your stomach…

So this dinner is an opportunity for politicians to spend the evening with half dressed actresses? OK- NOW I get it.

Well I only eat elitist food like arugula and snub ole iceberg lettuce so I’m sure my presence would have been welcomed

Recent poll result:

As far as you know, what is Barack Obama’s religion? Is he a Christian, a Muslim, or something else?”

What do I want george to do after 1-21-09 …..Time

Do you think the press will be mean to me when I am President?

What do I want George to do after January:

A twenty five year dental appointment.

Why wait ’till then?

America can pay the dentist ta fill em up- and dig em out again.

no way! perish the thought! they’ll be so dazzled, it’ll be like, well, like,
the first week after 9/11 and Bu$h.
but except they’ll STAY that way,
they’ll advocate for a third term,
oh, wait,
they’re already doing that!

I you are a Democrat OR if they have awakened and decided to do their jobs, then yeah, they will probably be mean to you.

Which just means you will have to do your job that much better and call BS on them when they do.

Depends on what ya feed em.

BBQ and ice cream! I am a Texan.

Here’s someone who didn’t attend.

When the network balked, Pratt canceled Montag’s appearance, claiming, according to our source, “It wasn’t ‘A-listy’ enough.”

Some people seriously need to get over themselves.

Hiya, Snarky! How’s things?

Bob in HI

Might work for a while—ya need ta give em really HOT stories for desert- doesn’t matter if they’re true.

I’m no prude but I was truly shocked that the president of the US, even if he is a boob, makes a masturbation joke about Cheney. I was just as shocked a few years ago when Laura, the 1st lady even if she is some kind of robot, made the joke about George milking the male horse. It was not only not classy but I was embarrassed for our country. And neither the media or the ultra conservative religious values bunch utters a peep. White trash correspondence dinner, indeed.

i gotta say, if i lived in ChiTown, I’d go to Wright’s church!
and i’m not even Christian!
HE’S AUTHENTIC!

Sad, isn’t it? One of the weirder moments in the WaPo story was that Colin Firth and his wie got turned away at the door of the Bloomberg party because the velvet rope goons didn’t know who he was. But this wasn’t A-listy enough? Puh-leese. *G*

I hope you make some mean BBQ, it’s the food of journalists

LOL!

Things are good Bob! Been blogging a lot. No homework this week because of the stupid boring TAKS tests.

44 Iraq casualties so far this month- highest number in seven months–the surge is headed in the wrong direction.

They fell in love with the concept of celebrity.

Apparently, you can satisfy them with some Costco ribs…

Ya can satisfy ME with some Costco ribs- them thangs is GOOD!

“Do you think the press will be mean to me when I am President?”

Not if you throw some juicy tidbits their way every week, to occupy their tiny little minds.

Bob in HI

These boobs have rendered their verdict: Obama CWB*

*Campaigning While Black.

Rev. Wright is not an albatross until the media says so. Even still, Obama is the better choice over Hil and McSame.

Costco ribs and prebottled GOLDEN margaritas—food of the gods.

It all depends on what the A stands for, and I know which A list they belong on. *G*

Was Jane tackled and taken down?

That is his secret? CostCo? doesn’t this family do anything authenic?

Sadly, the preconstructed media narrative goes something like this:

– Democratic black man running for president shall be treated like Jesse Jackson.

– Democratic woman running for president shall be treated like Pat Schroeder and/or shrill bitch — your pick.

– Republican man running for president shall be treated like your best buddy from high school, prom king and maverick awesome dude.

Any questions?

She had to do an edit on the video. That takes a little time. So…no.

Can I stuff a potato in his tailpipe?
Oh, sorry, wrong kind of question.
My bad.
*g*

I heard a rumor through the grapevine that Costco rib containers were, indeed, suspected of being on the premises…

Who is Pat Schroeder?

Well I only eat elitist food like arugula and snub ole iceberg lettuce so I’m sure my presence would have been welcomed

Wasn’t Arugula a Roman emperor?

Imagine how serious ugly a book would be written jointly by Woodward and Hitchens. How did their written word become part of that chose group called “holy men of god spoke/wrote as they were moved by the hold ghost”.

just on huffpo really interesting read: and OT

Speaking Monday at a fascinating on-the-record session on U.S.-Russia relations at the Nixon Center, former Reagan administration official Robert McFarlane declared that McCain’s first year as president would be “neocon redux.” McFarlane, who was Reagan’s national security advisor and who supports McCain’s candidacy, emphasized that he wasn’t speaking as a member of McCain’s team, but as a practical realist and private citizen. His remarks were uttered in a calm tone, and all the more blistering for it. McFarlane pointed out that Ronald Reagan was dealing with a declining Soviet Union and from a position of strength, while McCain would be dealing with a resurgent Russia, one that it would be foolish to heedlessly antagonize. According to McFarlane, “the youngsters” would run foreign policy the first year and then likely be “fired” by the second after they mess up.

Here you go Cassie: Pat Schroeder.

Just a fraud all the way though. I read today that he keeps all his assets save one checking account under Cindy’s name. At least now I see why he won’t release her tax returns.

Things are good Bob! Been blogging a lot. No homework this week because of the stupid boring TAKS tests.

So this is what Bush meant. He wanted to lower our TAKS so no child would be left behind.

Caligula, Arugula…close enough

So glad to hear. I didn’t want the big baddies to whisk her off.

Yes. I’m ticked that the media is now repeating ad nauseum “Obama has to win the white working class male” which is code for “hey you white working class guys who haven’t voted for him yet, don’t vote for him like the guys did in earlier primaries…”

I can tell you there are lots of working white males in California that voted for Obama.

I’m elitist about my barbecue. Kamado grill and barbeque guru controller. Pork butts go for about 18 hours.

The odds of big baddies whisking Jane off of her own blog are fairly small. *g* Her post will be back soon as she can complete th edit that needed doing…there was a length of run time issue.

I think I like her!

Schroeder recently stirred some controversy when she referred to liberals as those reading more books than conservatives. Her statement was relatively unflattering about conservative readers in her explanation: “The Karl Roves of the world have built a generation that just wants a couple slogans: ‘No, don’t raise my taxes, no new taxes,’” she said in a recent interview. “It’s pretty hard to write a book saying, ‘No new taxes, no new taxes, no new taxes’ on every page.

Here’s a fascinating read from a former Dep. Sec. of the Treasury Dept. under Reagan…

The U.S. cannot afford these costs. Prior to his resignation last month, U.S. Comptroller General David Walker reported that the accumulated unfunded liabilities of the U.S. government total $53 trillion. The U.S. government cannot cover these liabilities. The Bush regime even has to borrow the money from foreigners to pay for its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no more certain way to bankrupt the country and dethrone the dollar as world reserve currency.

The more likely explanation for the U.S. invasion of Iraq is the neoconservative Bush regime’s commitment to the defense of Israeli territorial expansion. There is no such thing as a neoconservative who is not allied with Israel. Israel hopes to steal all of the West Bank and southern Lebanon for its territorial expansion. An American colonial regime in Iraq not only buttresses Israel from attack, but also can pressure Syria and Iran not to support the Palestinians and Lebanese. The Iraqi war is a war for Israeli territorial expansion. Americans are dying and bleeding to death financially for Israel. Bush’s “war on terror” is a hoax that serves to cover U.S. intervention in the Middle East on behalf of “greater Israel.”

Well, in all fairness, it is her money so…

I’m elitist about my barbecue. Kamado grill and barbeque guru controller. Pork butts go for about 18 hours.

Republican butts on the other hand go on forever or at least it seems that way.

I can’t believe that not a single person went to see my new post! :( :(

Unfortunately it’s quotes like this (we read books) that the Roves turn into “they’re elitists”. Funny huh?

Missed you Snarks! How long you been back? I’ve been in and out myself.

If you like ‘que you have to be picky about it. But that ain’t elitist, ‘cuz it’s ‘que.

Ain’t nothin like Texas BBQ!

Well, the neocons sure like to grill. :P

Remember the repug mantra (I think the media has picked up on it), if you say it enough, people will believe it/it will become true

My favorite BBQ from literature is in Gone with the Wind. Hilarious.

I dunno, a Memphis BBQ rib rack, with a good dry rub, and then a side of sauce for dipping is awfully good…

holding flashlight searching for vthe lost post….. kept getting 404 error….. didnt see the WH correspondents dinner - but i know craig ferguson was the guest speaker - hope he tore them a new one…..

I’m partial to brasilian bbq aka churrasco but Texas bbq is good because it’s beef too.

I know. I was listening to the news on the car radio, getting so worked up because I know the mantra. We gotta answer back asap so it doesn’t become true. It so bugs me.

he didn’t..it was pretty bland.

Hey Hugh, punaise would be proud! good one.

Ihear you but we don’t have the ear of the media.

Vice President Dick Cheney, Ferguson said, “is already moving out of his residence. It takes longer than you think to pack up an entire dungeon.”

Bah hahahahahahaha! Oh gawd. I can’t stop laughing!!!!

Those of us from the Kansas City area humbly disagree

What kind of food do they have in Ithica NY?

icecycles?

Ithaca has the Moosewood, which is quite a tasty place, I have to say…

Ithaca is a pretty funky and diverse place, Cassie. You can find anything you want there…or, you can come to my house and I’ll cook you up something good here too..I’m forty-five min. away

after the last one i saw - colbert was the guest - it has seen better days i suppose….. glad i didnt waste my time then ;o}

Miss Christy..have you been to the Moosewood…we have a very nice veggie place here in bingo town also.

These are the folks that Senator Obama is counting on, absolutely depending on to beat McSame. He figures they love him so much that they’ll just ignore their bosses directions and create a national Obama ‘Love Festival’ just like in the 70s that the good Senator so wishes he had not missed.

Won’t he be surprised when they cut him off at the knees!
