There was once this singer named Slim Whitman. He was country and in the 80’s your parents might have been fans if they were hick enough. When he sang he kind of yodeled.

Ted Turner’s TBS network ran commericals for his CDs. Evidently some people were buying them. They also made him half-time entertainment at a Turner-owned Atlanta Hawks basketball game. Poor guy…he was mocked and shouted down by drunks at the game. Someone threw a coke on him. He deserved none of that.

However, I’m not so sympathetic of Sarah Palin accomodating people’s morbid fantasies in this way. Unlike Slim Whitman, she’s really earned it with all her death panel talk about how Obama wants to kill her poor retarded baby.

Sarah Palin can read a written speech scarcely any better than she can talk extemporaneously. She is a moron. Her ability to mangle English is already the stuff of legend. After but a year on the national public stage, she has handily locked up a spot in the Verbal Stumblebum Hall of Fame. If she attempts to deliver a speech for CLSA in Hong Kong, she will fall flat on her ass. My bet is that when she gets wind that she is being served a big ol’ punk sandwich, she will bail on this appearance just like she has done with so many others. Whose fault will it be this time? It would be truly rich if CLSA already had a signed contract and insisted that she fulfill its terms.

Moron, thy name is Palin.

yep. merged in 2003 with a great deal of government pressure, after Credit Lyonnais embarassed the State once again, with yet another scandal. France seems to operate on the opposite principle of our own government. L’etat is still supreme, and corporations aren’t allowed to embarass it. The Credit Lyonnais domestic retail network was shorn off from the merged entity into a new company called LCL in order to prevent job loss (also very un-American!). The name Credit Lyonnais was not permitted to survive in any form though – such is the hazard of offending the Republic.

Only la figa. Not sure I’ve ever tried to post there before.

(historically had probs posting on fdl. May have been related to cookie and java script mgt. I no longer try to manage those on fdl sites)

I hit reply, header goes to the reply box, I hit submit, screen goes blank (like it’s working), but it doesn’t. Preview doesn’t work either.

Maybe they’re going to pepper her about her Cou Rouge business enterprise, in French..serving her a nice http://www.800alabama.com/dini....._wine.html">“French wine” and bring up that whole Sarkozy thing again. In fact, maybe they’ll bring in either Sarkozy or Carla Bruni, sit them down at the same table, and see if she even recognizes them.
