i so cant wait for this to be over

clown car == hot butter on what, say what, the popcorn!

Wilson is hawt!

wilson knows that the rethugs will lose in a fair election and that she will go down with them. It has her so upset that the lies don’t seem to be working this time that she can’t think in gop tracks.

Thanks Christy

Morning Christy
I used to think that a good description of the McShame debacle would be the campaign of a thousand lies but now we have really, really surpassed that number.

Is there a Heather Wilson bobble head doll available?

Heather Wilson - butthead.

Go to: www.buttheadpolice.com

Vote for Palin, McCain and others of their ilk to get asses stamped on their heads. You’ll love it. Spread the word!!!

Nah - this one is ‘death by a thousand…idiots”

Oh, and good morning Christy. Hope all is well Chez Reddhedd. It’s 45, cloudy and gloomy here in Upstate NY - all the leaves are gone…

Heh, my leaves aren’t gone, they’re all sitting on my lawn.

Eight days and counting. At least I hope we get to count accurately. If we do, hello President Obama.

Great post, Christy. They know they’ve lost and they know it’s because they have screwed our country almost beyond repair. This will be a long, painful road to recovery.

its gloomy here too

me too

Geez. We got surprised. It’s 47 here in north Florida this morning. Gotta put blankets on the horses tonight as they say low will be 38. Way too early for that here…

Note to RNC. Lobbyists make lousy campaign staffers and bonehead plumber’s helpers don’t make good campaign surrogates.

imteh nervous about all of this

Heather Wilson -
The ultimate time warp gym teacher from the 50’s.

Sarah Palin’s latest swat at science
Fruit fly research is helping a booming new food industry in America — not that the vice-presidential candidate is aware of it.

They can’t afford chairs?

It’s 60 here. Went from hot and humid to cold and dry in a couple days. Climate change? What climate change?

hehehee, eCAHN - you are right - they are all horizontal now.

We have very classy leaves in the mid-Hudson.

I found Ms Wilson to be an empty headed Rethug like so many others are this election season. Seems to me there is no way they can make the McCain/Palin ticket better than the pile of shit it already is!!
But I sure was struck by her facial expressions… she is a terrible liar! Hopefully as Christy stated we won’t see much of the dumb Rethug! How she ever got elected in the first place is beyond me! She sure is empty headed and seems to know nothing about anything!

Jet stream has dipped waaay down into LA, MS, AL and GA - that’s why you guys are getting the really cold air now. If it makes you feel better - up here, we’re looking at lake effect snow tonight - the eastern side of Lake Erie is in the 60s, so Buffalo, etc. will get hit hard.

morning pups. thanks christy.

I’ve got a yard covered with not so classy acorns. The squirrels are so spoiled by them I give them a raw peanut or two and they’re gone acorn hunting. Heaven for a blind squirrel.

Last year a friend came & raked some of my leaves to put in her compost bin. She hasn’t shown up this year, so I suppose it’s up to me. There’s really only one section where I will be necessary. On the front lawn, I just run the lawnmower over them & blow them into the road, where the tires mulch them. Under a big maple, though, the leaves are in a gully, and also near two large white pines that shed gobs of needles in the autumn, so that area need raking.

Toby here is one for you

Low mast year here. Very few acorns and hickory nuts. My hunter friend tells me that means the deer will have a hard time getting through the winter, as they bulk up on nuts in the autumn.

Secondly, did a sitting member of the House (albeit one who won’t be there much longer) just refer to the hair plugs of a sitting Senator?

Yup. it might have been hypocritical for her to mention botox.

uh oh! here’s your friendly neighborhood reminder to please make calls. now, please remind me to clean my house (out of town guest coming wednesday).

Heather Wilson is a person to feel sorry for, really. She’s so down roster on the Rep bench that she absolutely HAS to go out there for this yeoman duty and sling around at the mounds of crap, with no real chance of making any sense.

My wife and I have started collecting the ‘tells’ of the right wing pundits to know exactly when they are full of the most shit…like when Pat Buchanan looks like he’s holding an imaginary basketball in front of his chin, you know he’s piling it on with both hands.

In Heather Wilson’s case, her tell is that her voice drops yet another octave. I saw this clip yesterday and shouted into my wife, “She’s lower than Barry White.”

The wife shouted back, “You know she’s trying hard. Try a little tenderness.”

The wife was always more of an Otis Redding fan.

Here’s the funny thing about Palin’s clothes and her remarks. On the one hand she wants us to believe that under Obama your possessions will be confiscated and “everything will be owned in common.” On the other hand, the clothes she wears “don’t belong” to her.

Huh? Looks like she’s already a socialist in terms of the clothes.

most of my froends are voting for Obama. Last night I ran into a guy i know who’s undecided(!!) Said he’s a Republican and then corrected himself and said he’s a conservative. Doesn’t like McCain. Said if he thought Obama’s income tax plan was really a tax cut he’d vote for him. Nut. he probably disagrees with the guy on every other fereaking issue. But if Obama would put some money into his pocket he’ll vote for him.

It will be soooo nice when we don’t have people like McCain, Palin, Wilson, Holtz-Eakin to kick around anymore. They have been such horses asses and we’ve had some fun at their expense, but I am heartily sick of it all.

/me holding breath, counting the days, waking up in cold sweat as my vote gets flipped to mccain.

man, I thought I was tense when kerry was running, this is REALLY bad.

A TPM reader thinks it might be an Alaska thing:

What is it about Alaskan politicians? Palin is given a $150,000 wardrobe, which she wears, but doesn’t own it. Stevens was given furniture, but he doesn’t own it, yet it still sits in his home. Stuff is given to them, but they don’t own it? Steven and Palin must attend the same seminars on electoral ethics, or is this just an Alaska thing?

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.c.....240103.php

D’oh. You got me. Okay, off to do a few chores and then it will be late enough to start making calls.

I dunno about the house thing, though. My thought would be to put that off until at least tomorrow. Sorry.

wasn’t heather wilson intimately involved in the US Atty scandal in NM?

You know she keeps saying that about the clothes not belonging to her because she will have to pay taxes on the clothes. I am pretty confident that when it comes to clothes, once you wear them, they become yours. Unless they make the argument that the clothing is somehow a “costume”.

from my HSschool newsletter this morning:

Social Studies
The Social Studies classes conducted a Mock Presidential election in conjunction with all other __ campuses.

Mrs. _____ and her students helped to coordinate the balloting, while other students posted voting posters. Our results were sent in Friday the 24th, the district’s results will be released later next week. The Presidential race numbers for our campus were:
(R) McCain/Palin 75
(D) Obama/Biden 634
(L) Barr/Root 14

U.S. Senator race:
(R)Cornyn 83
(D) Noriega 380
(L)Schick 48

Many senior students, in their government classes, received and registered to vote earlier in the month to make the deadline, and are looking forward to being able to vote in their first Presidential election.

The wife shouted back, “You know she’s trying hard. Try a little tenderness.”

she reminds me of jane hathaway

People who live in glass hairdos shouldn’t throw stones.

Kids get it, don’t they? At a cub scout meeting last month some kid was going on about how Obama is no good because he’s going to raise taxes. Snot-osed brat.

Mornin’ Betsy!

Way to go! It’d be nice to see the whole country go this way.

i read your post ,and just cant imagine them winning,so im gonna take some “mood elevators ” for a month or so,im just spent!

Yeah, but you’re in that notoriously socialist enclave in TX! How are the HS students voting in other parts of the state?

I am pretty certain the irs is gonna do whatever bush tells them to do regarding that outfit

if she were a democrat you could guarantee she’d be paying income tax

on the other hand, if they allow her non income status for these cloths it will be really hard for a judge to find on their behalf in other cases

I am really ready for this to be done. McCain (RNC money) is now running increased ads in NC …all with very negative tones.

Given that we have the pres/gov/senate races all with nasty ads from the Rethug side, it’s almost unbearable to watch television. Resorted to listening to the UNC football game Saturday on the UNC flagship radio station. They have their regular sponsorships for all of their broadcasts so it was “politics free”.

time for hot cocoa

wouldn’t it though?

If they actually wanted to spend some money, how about a makeover for Heather Wilson? I mean, this lady’s hair and clothes are from the 1960s, and even then they were frumpy. This doesn’t even begin to touch the problem of her and Tucker Bounds as spokespersons. Awful.

All of these talking heads are just wearing me out. I think I’ve watched them long enough I could spout the talking points from both sides. I was watching Blitzer and Ballot Bowl off and on yesterday. I let it DVR for a while, rolled it back and just skipped past the blather to listen to the candidates.

Obama is having a Bill Clinton effect on me. I love listening to him talk even when he says the same thing over and over.

Heather Wilson is another DOJ scandall affiliate that I’ll be glad to see gone.

Is that Houston?

cbs is actually reporting that zogby has them 5 percent apart with a three percent margin

I am not kidding, i heard that yesterday…I know it is impossible, it is a gamed poll

but why would they be gaming the poll if they didn’t have something planned?

It will be soooo nice when we don’t have people like McCain, Palin, Wilson, Holtz-Eakin to kick around anymore.

oh, can we keep Doug Holtz-Eakin for a while longer?

The guy is just really a laff riot - I look forward to each and every inane and disastrous appearance…..

Heather Wilson could be Orin Hatch’s sister.

Would it help if McCain said that Palin’s clothes will be donated to the Good Will?

Here’s my burning Q about Holtz-Eakin. How does he keep the 3 day beard every day?

Good morning, all you fomenting leftists …

OT from 10/26/08:

Iraq has been told to comply with ‘Murkauh’s wishes regarding agreement on status of US forces … or ‘vital’ services will be shut down by US military …

We’ve got their ‘hearts and minds’ for certain, now …

nope. north austin

i know,it teh sukketh

cbs is actually reporting that zogby has them 5 percent apart with a three percent margin

don’t worry about zogby.

The guy was on TDS after the NH primary, and presents as an absolute goofball (but a nice man) who flat out admitted that he doesn’t know wtf he’s doing….

There is still the nice DOJ diving into the bogus “voter fraud” nonsense in Ohio. There are 200,000 voters to disenfranchise there! There are untold numbers to disenfranchise all around the country yet.

McInsane can still pull off a win (with a little help from Bush and his 100% corrupt DOJ).

They (the corporate media) wants a close race irrespective of whether it is or not. Of course, if it is “close” according to one or two polls AND the Bushies pull a Rove and disenfranchise hundreds of thousands, even PA could turn red for McInsane.

She reminds me of that Jane Hathaway woman, the banker’s sec’y on the Clampetts, Beverly Hillbillies.

oh goody,that will lift my mood

but she was sweet,this one eats puppies

It’s against the law in Florida for a landlord to turn off a tenant’s utilities.

WASSERMAN-SCHULZ (crosstalk): Barack Obama doesn’t spend that kind of money on his ties.

Also, he pays for them himself, and he’s not trying to fob himself off as Joe Sixpack.

she reminds me of jane hathaway

my very first thought on hearing her speak

all apologies to Nancy Kulp - a dfh after all :D

Is there a credible Democrat challenging Heather Wilson, whose up to her eyeballs in the DOJ scandal?

What you have there is a nice, last minute “October Surprise” with the US essentially forcing a huge civil war and reignition of the attacks on American forces. I bet they figure that this would help McInsane (though it would, in no uncertain terms, indicate the truth: the surge is a failure and always has been…but to McInsane and the GOP, that wouldn’t really matter).

50K voters in Georgia (which is pink, but still, its a systemic operation).

She gave up her house seat to run for the senate seat being vacated and she lost in the promaries

I wonder if bush is still consoled with the notion that his presidency will wear well under time.

I do not believe even the republicans will defend him if barack becomes president, I believe the party of bigots will blame a black president on bush’s failure.

it would be nice if we could come together repudiating the most inpept president in our entire history

even if he didn’t pay for his ties himself, his campaign is not bleeding money and the expenditure would not affect which states he pulled out of due to lack of funds

that’s what’s being missed, not how much the clothes cost in dollar, how many adds and which areas have to be sacrificed because of them

More time to spend with her family. After the trial of course.

There’s little doubt that Bush will present that argument for the rest of his days.

McCain surrounding himself with pall-o-gloombearers this morning on CNN. Intros of Pawlenty, Kemp, Romney too little, too late….

Should read: “Truly, the desperation is reaching critical ass…”

McGramps and his “economic team” speaking in cleveland (from the applause levels, it sounds like there must be at least 100 people there).

The “Team” includes Meg Whitman, Mitt, Michael Steele, Jack Kemp, and some other non-entities….

whoa - Gramps is *angry* this morning.

Nancy Kulp was one of the nicest people I have ever met. Came to my house for a political party and was just an ordinary person and a lot of fun.

It’s hard to watch him. He is moving to Bush territory of repulsiveness.

- Breaking News -

Gramps is going to single-handedly fix the stock market crisis.

And Obama will, uh, destroy the world, or something.

Take Guantanamo, for example. It is to be dumped in Obama’s lap.

Remember when Bush the Elder sent troops into Somalia - underequipped and ill prepared - before he left office. Clinton pulled them out - some were killed in the process. Winger made a movie - Black Hawk Down - and tarred Clinton with mishandling a mess that Bush started.

How is he going to fix the stock market?

It’s hard to watch him. He is moving to Bush territory of repulsiveness.

I can watch Bush, just can’t listen to him. McDisgusting I have never been able to watch or listen to. I find him considerably worse than Bush.

http://thinkprogress.org/2008/.....t-costume/

any details?

Please include that Pfodenh….whatever woman whose name I cannot spell.. she makes my tv unhappy with her level of contempt, interrupts everyone, talks dumb, laughs whenever….has never had a doubt, and probably never been right.

I put an Oxdown diary up on that story earlier this AM.

I wonder if bush is still consoled with the notion that his presidency will wear well under time.

Bush will copy Nixon who was evil but could write. Bush will write books not only about his Presidency but Everything Nixon wrote about. Or rather it will be Ghost Written Bush’s problem will be convincing anyone but Bobo Brooks that he really wrote them.

How is he going to fix the stock market?

dunno.

Unfortunately, I never learned how to speak ‘bat-shit crazy’.

Public schools… *s*

And Obama will, uh, destroy the world, or something.

only after he eats your children :D

Yesiree. I’ve had my fill of perky blond R 30-something women, who speak propaganda at 90 mph.

And it says a lot that C-Span uses him for their go-to guy. :-(

Public schools… *s*

?

Heather Wilson has been particularly repulsive to me. I think it is because she is actually not stupid but, like McCain, is willing to do or say any nasty thing in her desparate grasp a job in the increasingly unlikely McCain Administration. If a rattlesnake could smile, it would look like Heather Wilson being introduced on a talk show.

Exactly. Bush, I can look at but not listen to. McNasty, I cannot bear to even look at his face in print.

He is loathsome. Have never understood why he was a favorite among any in the press.

Did anyone pay for Hillary’s clothes? I don’t think so.

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

They use smoke and mirrors to make it appear McCain crowds are larger. The same gimmick they use for their economic policies.

amazon lists Obama mask as a terrorist costume.
http://thinkprogress.org/2008/…..t-costume/

Let’s spread this around.

I called the Obama campaign to let them know - the volunteer who answered the phone hadn’t heard.

And I sent Amazon an email via their website that I didn’t want to continue to give them business when they portray the Democratic presidential nominee as a terrorist.

Then I let my friends know.

Nixon was an Evil Genius Bush is the Idiot King!

Howie Klein is up with a new post: “DCCC Pushing Anti-Choice Activists”

thank you

I think the word “tool” is perfect for Heather Wilson.

Hey! He’s been tested you know. He knows how to win stock market wars. HE KNOWS!

BARBEUE$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

merely lamenting that my H.S. didn’t offer ‘bat-shit-crazy’ as a foreign-language-class choice.

HI Bets

When do we start taking bets on who does the ghost writing, Bobo Brooks or Bob Woodward?!!

Okay, if a tire tool could smile…. :)

Their “town hall meetings” are always conducted in a hall of mirrors so that the teaming crowds of 20 or so seem to go on forever and ever.

The BBQ thing occurred to me but I would lose my appetite if I had to be around either of the McCains. *g*

Maybe it’s the unlimited flow of Michelob that helps the press? *g*

Been hoping to cross paths…….was it not you who was raving about the music on Bill Moyers last Friday? If so, here’s a big, huge *smooch* heading down the toobz in your direction. That piece with Mark Johnson was just beyond fabulous! ‘Bout all I could do to keep from crying the whole time; planning on sending a donation to his “Playing for Change” as soon as the political season is over.

It *will* be over, won’t it………..sometime? somewhere? someplace?

Thanks for the LOL…I have not figured out why they all look alike, Perino, Fiorino, Pfo, now Eliza Hassel….One goal today is to write the View to fire her. They should not allow such stupidity on the program.

OT, but I hope this is a helpful tip….

You might want to look at early voting. Last week early voting started here in IN. We saw VERY long lines of students and staff at the Stewart Center. My wife voted there, but I couldn’t wait around. I did vote Saturday at Payless after the game and the line was about 45 minutes long. The poll people said the line hadn’t let up all day. My daughter (a Smithie from your class) in Zionsville, IN reports that the line was twenty minutes to get signed in and another hour to vote. I believe I heard on CNN this early morning that Indiana early voting is now nearly as high as the entire Indiana turnout in 2004!!

Chris Matthews really bludgeoned Ms. Ptotentot the other day, for about 15 minutes, on the duties of the VP. He simply would not let up. He even caused her brow to furrow at the same time she retained the massive carved smile. It was an intersting sight.

Wow, thanks. It was and I cried as well at the kindness + the true healing and uniting power of music. I’m glad you got there. ;))

Just as there is no good without evil, no yin without yang, so to speak, there is not brilliance without the stupidity of Hasselback to play off of. Just the way I see it.

Good for Chris….I should send him an email…she of unlimited Gall + Laura Ingraham should not be forgot. Another mean, contemptuous, etc etc etc. I swear they send these people somewhere to learn not only Bat-s* crazy, but really mean, demeaning, cruel, snarkissimo.

Wassup

I am just not quite sure that those who spout lies should be given a forum. She just makes up stuff, like Palin and Sean.

I have sent an email to Amazon, asking for a clear and satisfactory answer. The stupid crap pops out over and over, especially with the encouragement of “Starburst” Palin.

I hope so, i don’t think hillary would wear cloths that weren’t payed for
{/snark]

Out here in the west, Heather prolly knows that we call the name of that store, also, Cross Dress for Less. So sorry this is OT.

I mean, also, not OT but EPU.

The wife shouted back, “You know she’s trying hard. Try a little tenderness.”

The wife was always more of an Otis Redding fan.

What does she say when John “Mr. Pitiful” McCain is on?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW34EiP5HK4

Seen Rep. Heather Wilson a few times on TV and she falls into the category of actually looking like she has some intellegence but still just lying hypocritter pushing tired old talking points.

Now she may be dumb as Palin or Joe the plumber (Neil Cevuto was asking him his take on the stock market (wonder if he owns a single stock)) or again the dumb guy from Colbert that could only name 2 of the 10 commandments.

People that know better really should act like it - but obviously we have arrived at a place where lying cheating and stealing is in peoples self-interest.

Sorry I’m late to this party.

As I asked around here before, is it just me or does she always look and talk like she’s about to yak a hairball any minute?

Dear, this is so late. Why don’t I go to work? But this is to add that, luckily, I do not think I know what that “yak” look is….sounds, eh, interesting.

Ohio early voting is really heavy too, so my Board of Elections told me when I went to vote last week.
I came in during a lull. The lady said I was lucky, there had been 2+hour waits before that.

Sorry I missed the thread, gang — my FIL had a doc appointment this morning. Looks like y’all carried on quite well without me, though. *g*

Joe Biden’s hairplugs or Joe the Plumber’s hair balls, take your pick. And what about the rumor that Steve Schmidt and Todd Palin were reduced to blows on a recent episode of Lost? Too bad about those catty remarks Sarah Palin was making on that American Idol they filmed in Rosewell last week about Hasselbeck being an alien. But, and I kid you not, the worst of it came recently when John McCain in front of one of his half empty gatherings intimated that the scandal of the election will be about the menage a trois–heh, heh–between Obama, Pelosi, and Reid. Yup, the next ad claims that Obama is an adulterous pervert: the November surprise. The Wolfman meets the Exorcist from Wasilla will explain all. Gosh, will America demand the McCain campaign continue on tour after the election in order to get our daily telenovella fix?
