So how’s it feel to get the shit end of the stick from both parties Joe?
Nobody likes a traitor.
It’s fitting, however, that Joe should be the keynote speaker at the RNC. His refusal to hold any of the Katrina oversight hearings he promised during his re-election campaign ("looking back… would be a waste of Congress’ time") make him the perfect poster boy for GOP callousness in the wake of Gustav.
Pat Buchanan laughs for us all.

We’d better be REALLY glad that it wasn’t Holy Joe. That ticket would win Ohio, I think.
Boxturtle (How’s the bottom of the bus look, Joe?)
It looks like he was ‘Liebermanned.”
He deserves to be ‘honored’ with his name being used as a verb.
Hah! Those Waskilla-y Wabbits! Putting on a “liberal” (cough) “Democrat” (ahem) to show just how much of a Maverick (who was, after all, the high-risk taking con man on the hunt for young babes and booze…and sometimes both).
This GOP Convention is looking more and more like a makeshift play by grade-school kids in Wasilla rather than the well-scripted drama that they hoped to respond to “Barackopolis”. “We’ll play it by ear” said one delegate…sort of how they ran the country into bankruptcy and the environment into catastrophic global warming in the last eight years.
Short-term political gains vs. long-scale tangible REAL benefits.
And having Dubya on Jumbotrons throughout the arena certainly harkens more the imagery of “Big Brother” than does a living and animated Barack Obama giving a real speech down on a stadium floor.
Meanwhile America can feel safe and secure knowing that Dick Cheney is off in the Ukraine and Georgia holding off Soviet expansionism into it’s former Republics…and that the new VP selection and CinC of the AK National Guard has prevented Soviet expansion into Alaska!
St Paul Pigs. Has a nice ring to it, don’t you think?
Readin’ this stuff with dilated pupils is a trip. The drive home was an adventure. Wish I’d been stoned.
If Palin destructs, Holy Joe will likely be back. Without the threat of a floor challenge, McBush will likely do as he pleases.
Boxturtle (*worry*)
“He was considering people with great records, but then he decided to do something different.” Hahahahahahaha!
I remember watching Buchanan way back in the “Cross Fire” days. I’d be seething due the argument dujor he would be making. But then when whomever was in the conversation would happen to hit him with a good comeback Pat would hardily laugh at himself…same as he did just now at Lieberman. Notice the difference between Pat’s laugh and Lieberman’s laugh. Lieberman’s is as phony as the day is long. Pat’s is genuine. The guy has a good time. Gotta hand him that much.
If you look closely, you can see the smoke coming from his pants on fire
Carville says Wasilla city hall looks like a bait shop in south Louisiana. Love it.
HoJo said Culvahouse (sp) gave him a thorough vetting. (Culvahouse was the lawyer who vetted Palin.) Short Ride was on the short list. Pukecannon hit Liberliar below the belt with that question! “What’s it like to go back to that Democratic Caucus?” (Laughter all around).
Lieberman? They’re laughing at you. Good thing you’re so f**king rich.
Watching MSNBC (so you don’t have to) and the Goopers are really falling into line behind Palin. It is full-throated. Just saw Gary Bauer (oh gahd) and he was aglow.
OK, I need a shower.
What “shit end of the stick” Jane? He got what he wanted, by paying a measly $250,000.00 to Harry Reid, continuing Chairmanship of Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and caucusing with the DINO’s. He got what any politician wants above God and Country, power and money.
OT, why is your server running so slow and suffers so many outages, compared to others?
rather revealing comment by Joe Pleberman that Mccain would offer him the VO spot “as a thank you for endorsing him”?????????????? Is THAT who yer sposed to pick for VP, someone you need to thank for a favor?? OOOHHHHHH, silly me.

RUMBA!
Don’t blame you, I’ve heard rumors from a pretty reliable source that Gary Bauer had some problems with too young female interns during his own campaign.
scheduled for 1:30 on CSPAN 2 if you want to watch it
Lieberman is the face of AIPAC. I’ll believe he’s not the VP candidate once the election is over…and not a moment before. There are a bunch of seriously pissed off Neo-Zionists biting their collective tongues off. They want a “President Lieberman” overthrowing Iran and Syria so bad they can’t stand it. Now that Cheney has cleared the decks to make the OVP more powerful than that of Potus, the distinction is one without a difference.
The Republicans are in the classic Lockstep-Goose-step formation. Raygun’s rule: Never criticise another Republican.
Hookers and Blow is awesome. Tom Delay hired ‘em. Great tunes at the RNC provided by Hookers and Blow.
On behalf of all of us from Connecticut, I was really disappointed that Holy Joe wasn’t chosen. It would have done us all a lot of good to see him get rejected again.
Thanks Jane.
digg
Hey CTBob, thanks again. Great work!
We’re not supposed to talk about that. But since you brought it up, I think it’s because we’re being monitored by the Department of
FatherlandHomeland Security.Rethugs
On that theme, did you see McSame ogling Palin and wistfully[?] fiddling with his wedding ring. I’m sure Cindy noticed it.
The media labeling Lieberman as “Independent” is akin to calling Fox News, “Fair & Balanced.”
Not.
Yes that struck me as quite odd, too. No one can say they aren’t an egomaniacal, self-important lot – these Representatives of the People.
Repubs like Traitor Joe have been playing the victim and whining for decades now. Recently noticed this clip from a 1984 Raygun/Mondale debate, and Barbara Walters starts the debate by saying how disappointed she was that Repubs would only agree on these three moderators out of a hundred. And Fred Barnes was one of the agreed questioners! Shows how messed up it all is and has been for quite a while…
This was the period where they rolled out the phony “Liberal media” dog and pony show big time, which we’re still trying to combat to this day.
Ever since I got my new video capture card, I’ve been having a lot more fun with stuff like this.
And it’s always good to stick it to Joe.
excuse me sir, oh please have patience with me, ’scuse, but…
HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!
no. not even in jest. NO! *thwack!*
Nah, I’ll just poke my eyes out with a burning stick. Should be a lot more fun…
Someone narrated a youtube of that. It is hilarious. The guy is off his rocker.
I’m going to be in therapy for the rest of my life with that image.
Thank you soooo much, Elliott.
Bauer is such a fashion-plate, I can see it, I guess.
priceless! many thanks for sharing. MADE MY DAY! ;->
I saw that. Cindy would have to be three days dead or blind not to notice it but I don’t think she cares. She’s got the pool boyz, after all.
yes! I did see that video, did you notice her body language at the end?
in-dump-pendant
lmao!
try replacing it with the pancake flop
One thought came to me after surfing the Internets today.
There is no one in the modern GOP who would have survived any kind of vetting process – no one.
OT
Biden Live on CSPAN 1
Well Gary does get down to “biz quick” so to speak:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWUaN2HagRo
What a stud.
Cindy knows that all women want to throw themseves at her sexy Navy figher pilot. She’s seen “Top Gun” many times.
biden just listed his long history of FP experience and stances on weapons sales etc. Can you imagine Palin or even Da Lieb coming up against that?
Oh Elliott!!
Embarrassed doesn’t describe my shame. I missed the “language” at the end – laughing too hard at my first viewing.
Another thing noticed upon re-viewing: why, the sweet lil’ fella keeps turning and and turning his wedding ring over and over and over.
oh dear oh dear.
That’s just a glorious gift to the film library.
something tells me that planes are not the only thing John-boy has trouble keeping up in the air.
Anybody know why this site is so slow? I coulnd’t get on at all for over 24 hours.
Come on now. John will be doing Viagra commercials, win or lose.
all wingers are gloating that the repugs are really out in front by placing a woman as the veep….. as i recall… didnt the dems have a woman on the ticket? i’m thinking of g ferraro…..
Traitor Joe’s Whine Shop
TAKE THAT!
CTbob has a nice touch at the end. That echoing of laughter should follow Liarman everywhere. He’s so unconvincingly disingenuous in this clip, it made even me cringe, and I’ve watched a lot of Liarman, lying his way through debates, you name it. He’s all cheeze and whine. Hahahaha
Back to this video again. What’s with me? If I could, I would I throw my head back and issue a laugh that reverberates.
Holy Joe has a look about him that reminds me of when he whined about being “abandoned” by long time colleagues after the Dem primary.
