Well, now you’ve gone and done it, blogosphere! Republican fameball Meghan McCain has holed up in her million-dollar New York City apartment/graduation present from Mrs. Budweiser and has threatened to cancel her Twitter account if people don’t stop . . . or is it “do stop”? . . . talking about her!
For those who’ve been living in the real world for the past 24 hours, a recap: Meghan McCain, the much-heralded “rising star” of the Republican Party (and let’s face it – the field for GOP rising stars is a bit thin on the ground) praised by conservative literary luminaries such as Kathleen Parker, exposed a little TOO much on her Twitter feed last night.
McCain, whose only discernible skill is being related to an old Republican misogynist with major anger issues and a beer heiress/drug addict, has managed to parlay standing on stage during her father’s 2008 presidential campaign into a career. She promotes herself as the New Face of Republicanism™ (which is like New Coke™, I suppose), writes painfully sophomoric posts for The Daily Beast (which are really better suited for Seventeen Magazine), and abuses her Twitter account to the point of sociopathy. A preening narcissist just like dear old Daddy–and her arch-nemesis, Sarah Palin–poor little rich girl Meghan McCain is the Queen of Oversharing, “tweeting” every waking thought she has, along with accompanying “spontaneous” photos of herself, because, like, OMG, why wouldn’t everyone want to see the new outfit she was going to wear to hang with those “fuckin’ cool” bikers at Sturgis? Last night was no different.
What was different was the Twitter smackdown that ensued. Ordinarily, after posting a photo of herself, McCain luxuriates in the sycophantic croonings of a cadre of creepy guys who “follow” her while tweeting with one hand. Last night, however, she got slapped silly by the Twitterati for engaging in such blatant exhibitionism. In response, Tila Tequila’s new BFF expressed shock . . . SHOCK! . . . and outrage that complete strangers would NOT want to see pictures of the Future of the RNC’s exaggerated cleavage, and was so wounded by the mean meanies mocking her that she was THIS close to signing off Twitter 4EVER! Yes, she had a Twitter tantrum. Oh, bitter calumny! Oh, foul slings and arrows! Oh, wait, I’m the center of attention again!
Apparently, it even got so heated that Jake “Tool Time” Tapper, still burping up leftovers from last year’s barbecue at Daddy McCain’s Sedona ranch, stepped into the fray to defend the hapless damsel in distress until she cried herself to sleep on her Blackberry.
Was it intentional that she was holding up a book about Andy Warhol, seminal documenter of the 15-minute, disposable celebrity, in the photograph? You be the judge.
So while it is hardly clear whether this latest move was (a) a brilliant attempt at additional self-promotion or (b) a demand for attention that backfired, we here at Firedoglake have a suggestion for Ms. McCain: If it’s media anonymity you truly seek – which we sincerely doubt – we recommend you tweet about the following:
1. An exit strategy from Afghanistan
2. Prison reform
3. Re-establishing the draft
4. Voting machine irregularities
5. The plight of the Palestinians
6. The current political situation in Honduras
Trust us — the media will turn you off faster than you can say “I’m no H8er! Some of my best friends are gay!”

Yeah, it takes some nerve for a professional exhibitionist like Meghan to demand her privacy. What a silly bunt.
Self-indulgent, narcissistic spoiled little rich brat really is the “new face” of the GOP (which is really the old face with a boob job).
I’m still laughing at the video. Man, you can’t LEARN that kind of acting!
I was thinking more in terms of facelifts. The kind that only make you look older and more desperate. You know, the kind you can see if you tune in to Faux.
What will Pammy say about the competition?
Go away Meghan.
If there is anyone less relevant than Quitter Palin,it’s you!
Yeah, we were debating that earlier. That would be the pot calling the kettle “silicone”.
Speaking of 15 seconds of fame, there’s a nice diary up at:
http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/9657,
not mine, but I thinks’s it’s succinct, well written and cogent.
So, How is everyone tonight? It’s crazy santana winds, 80 degrees, even now, when the last two days it’s was sock, sweaters and fire in the fireplace. Good thing I’m flexible.
What are you doing up at this time of night? Dear, I’ve got a job interview in the am for a grassroots organization that’s currently working for Amnesty International. Good thing I’m used to working for minimum wage. Maybe I can help make a change. :)
On the bright side, she is a shoo in for a position at Hooters if this whole political ingenue thing doesn’t pan out.
This was one of my favorite 15-second episodes with Meghan McCain, from Real Time With Bill Maher.
Paul Begala: “President Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter for years…”
Meghan McCain: “You know I wasn’t born yet so I wouldn’t know.”
Paul Begala: “I wasn’t born during the French Revolution but I know about it.”
i’m sure her daddy would approve. “Goddammit, one of you trollops is gonna be Buffalo Chip Queen!”
Listening to the Dodgers-Phillies game and finishing Max Blumenthal’s Republican Gomorrah.
What about the gym job? Hmmm, that sounds almost lewd.
That should have been the last episode of anything to feature Meghan. Like Joe the Plumber, her fifteen minutes just stretch on endlessly.
Makes me VERY glad my ‘rents didn’t have the YouTube!
oh, good lord, no. the photos are embarrassing enough.
You’re a good person. You know how I feel about you. It’s all good.
Namaste. Isn’t that “I respect divinity within you that is also within me.”
Because, I do.
I need new glasses and am more bleary eyed than usual this evening, I read that as “Republican Gonorrhea.”
aka the GOP’s Dishonorable Discharge.
And she will dance with you at the drop of a hat.
I could link to a penicillin site, but I won’t.
How ’bout some chicken soup, baby?
That’s basically correct. So what about the current gig?
I don’t imagine she’d still be receiving invitations if not for her large endowments.
aqua kitty!
It drips with irony.
Thanks, fill ‘er up.
First, are those things REAL? Dayum…. And am I the only one who noticed that the negative was flipped?
I was talking to a resident of Cornville, AZ this last weekend and she was soooo thankful that McCain lost and they don’t have to put up with the McCains acting like royalty.
Christ, do we need another conservative “hottie pundit?” Hasn’t that been done to death? Yawn.
Send a pair of giant tinfoil boobs off floating over Colorado while you hide in the attic and then we’ll talk, ‘kay?
I’d heard it had slowed to merely a trickle.
And, we don’t even need a youtube link. I’ll sing to us. Hi, Sweetheart. Hope you had a wonderful day. If not, tomorrow.
Take my hand?
[laughing uncontrollably]
Well, I suppose there’s also a kind of “waiting for the next train wreck” comic relief value to be had, but really we don’t need Meghan for that when we have Orly Tait volunteering.
The gym is there. Only 15 hours, tho. It’s okay, but 40 hours pays a few more bills.
Do want to dance or get married? I am free on both counts.
I will be edgy and contrary as usual and not be critical of Meghan. I do not think she has been far right wing such as Barracuda Barbie or Joe the P. Give her a chance, of course I myself do not “twitter” so I have other wing nuts to monitor.
Actually, Mika, Cokie, Mrs. Greenspan, and all the Fox Bimbos are far worse than Meghan.
The real question is which is the bigger boob, her or her endowments?
Hi, demi! No wind to speak of over in this corner, although it’s warm enough outside.
Megan’s just another
Suicide Blonde
Dyed by her own hand
The thing with Meghan is that there is no there, there.
or
there there Meghan, there there.
They’d have to decide if she’s fat or hot. They can’t seem to make up their tiny minds.
Its twitter, not the Times, though, some days whats the difference?
I think think the whole reaction is so fraught with sexual tension, it’s like ohhhh lookit that mother! ohhhh, I can’t stand it, let me look at it again. No hide your eyes mother, I can barely stomach a third tiny peek.
Gargh. like this worse than any Miss America swimsuit pageant that is the core of American values /s
Megan is the leading hope of a sane Republican party, that’s why they’re throwing the mud.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste
And I thought it was more along the lines of aloha . . . . a greeting of respect coming and going.
Slainthe Mhath!
The matching tinfoil hat and bra ensemble is a splendid addition to any wardrobe.
ORLY?
Was it intentional that she was holding up a book about Andy Warhol, seminal documenter of the 15-minute, disposable celebrity, in the photograph? You be the judge.
Maybe Michael Steele has tainted my judgment, but I don’t think Republicans are capable of actually understanding the pop culture references they drop.
OMG, Queen of the Birthers. Now there is a 30 megaton train wreck. It has the appeal of stock car crashes and out of control demolition derbies.
Gotcha.
To be honest, the soup’s gone. Ate up. But, I have some Cherry Cordial Ice Cream. Don’t tell bob. Give him a bisquit thingy. And, tell him it’s from Aunt Demi.
You can actually be both.
Heh, over at WT’s place, a comment person got the Woody Allen linky up right fast. *G*
‘but it sounded good!’
It’s just baby fat.
I’m not averse to marrying you, but I don’t have insurance.
Hey, first one who needs it, I’m there for you.
I actually have told you I have an extra room. But, you’re girls live up there. If things ever got there, I have a room, and there’s only a few rattle snakes.
sounds great! you were trippin’ on Joan Baez memories last night?
If she’s the leading hope of the GOP, then they’re hopelessly lost.
And I’d prefer that they stay that way: the Ds could split and both pieces would be better than he current GOP.
Watertiger !
Brilliantly funny !
Well, I’ll just refrain from commenting on Ms. McCain’s photo…
Evening, everyone!
I agree. But I think MM became upset with the republics when they started calling her fat. The republics don’t think of MM like they think of caribou barbie.
Isn’t it funny, peculiar how we live so close and our weather is so different? This morning, it was so foggy down below and perfectly clear up here on the “nestled in the bottom of the hills”?
Well she is marginally less crazed and deluded than most of them (but then so is your average involuntary committal).
BREAKING: Meghan McCain hires Ralph Lauren to photoshop all her press photos. “They’ll never mock my cleavage again!” sobs Twitter phenom.
Developing …
aw, shucks. ‘enkew.
that was hilarious
Was that before or after she started foolin’ around with Jack?
Unlike most Republicans she makes a token effort to be objective, it’s just that she lacks the knowledge, analytical skill, or temperament to pull it off.
then she’d feign outrage over the fact that fashion makes women so body-conscious.
Mind you, her Twitter wallpaper photo is airbrushed beyond recognition.
You could have our weather up here. We spent the last week or so 25-30 degrees below normal (vaporized low temperature records with highs in the 30s) and now are looking at 60s over the weekend.
Yes, I was. Maybe why I called that Grassroots Organization thingy this morning for a job ? Isn’t it interesting?
True. Hard to pull that off with the IQ of a rock.
It was after the election.
very true
It’s the overweening sense of entitlement that I find so exasperating. The Paul Begala exchange was a prime example of it. There was absolutely NO reason for her to be sitting there, other than the fact that she’s a politician’s daughter who happens to be fairly photogenic.
Yeah, when you’ve got the skin tone of a character from “Davey and Goliath” something’s gone horribly wrong …
So, you’re a soup tease… now I know. Seriously, Bob doesn’t need a thing, he eats almost nonstop except for brief fasts while he chews on nonfood items. As I’ve mentioned, I’m just glad he never started smoking cigarettes.
She has one last great moment left – a date with Levi Johnston.
Why do you hate rocks?
I kinda miss Lt. Saavik
wingnut welfare
or Jon Gosselin.
West central FL coast it’s a heat index of 105 – 110 for the last 10 days or so. Supposed to cool off this weekend. Sweat til yer soaked just standing in the shade.
Exactly.
These are very dull and slow rocks.
Seems like I read that at the WH Correspondents Dinner she pulled one of those “Don’t you know WHO I am?” acts which so endears celebrities to us mortal folk.
hahahahahahahahahahah. I almost spit my water on my monitor when I read that.
Ah. Schists.
That kid in the vid needs its vocal cords cut. Christ on a sidecar.
Put on your flannel jammies. Or, not.
We sure do live in different climates, don’t we?
Dayam! I knew there was a reason I don’t live in the South.
I had both, depending one which direction I looked. The moon was gorgeous this morning: earthlit ‘dark’ with sunlit crescent. There was light fog, almost misting, at building height.
Yesterday afternoon there were migrating swifts (Vaux’s) snacking on flying critters at the Glendale train station. At upstairs-window-level, no less: I’m looking straight out at birds zipping past.
saw some of you talking about Joan Baez. and remembered how I saw all the woodstock shit they showed back in august. thought she was pretty awful there. Saw her at Wollman Skating Rink in Central park at either Schaefer (remember Schaefer beer??) or Dr. Pepper Music Festival> great show/
hey that job sounds great. who’s it with? can you say? (did you say??)
Love those thin half-pursed lips.
Sister Mary Louise Louise, “Oh, you naughty boy.”
You recall correctly.
Yep. But we do have wildfires in common (even if we didn’t really have any here this year).
You can all have Iowa’s recent weather. Two weeks of nearly nonstop gray is enough to drive me into a depression deeper than five nonstop hours of Jay Leno monologues.
Sweetheart, when I don’t take the trash cans from the kitchen out, he digs and runs around which ever is on top. Then we do the, what? you have food water, a bisquit. What? Oh, just sit down and love you moment.
It’s been awful man! My sister was just down from up north and I thought she was gonna die. Was better today.
But I like Meagan McCain.
almost midnight and you know what that means.
We had that, too, for the past week or so. Rained the last two days, but supposed to be clear and sunny all weekend. The trout need to look out, because I am definitely coming for them.
Nice… she threw in an f-word for good measure. Maybe she is setting her sights on Rahm’s job.
The constant “what-evvur” expression, whenever a dispute arose could not hide her ignorance one bit.
… something that Meghan did not understand, given her continued self- promotion.
Nighters!
Shit fire. That is hot. I thought we had it bad here in Sacratomato.
Or governor f-word.
She is rich and pampered and deserves her every whim. We peasants need to simply bow down and grovel for her leavings.
So I’m thinking to myself that curling up with a warm book in a good bed is sounding mighty nice right now. Peace out, y’all!
Wow that video was F U N N Y.
But then I started reading the comments and I… uhmm, shit, how do I say this….
Wow that video was F U N N Y ! ! !
Namaste SD !
Grassroots Campaigns. Sounds like they provide canvassers for whichever group, Dems, MoveOn, Sierra Club, currently Amnesty International…
Yeah, they’d best get this game over afore I turn into a creature of the night. Beats bein’ a pumpkin, I spose.
Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
Night, EDP!
My sister looked like she was melting. Sweat just pouring down her face. very humid in central FL. But hey, ‘cane season’s gonna be done soon and haven’t had ANY activity.
G’nite EDP !
Night, SD.
waving g’nite to the leaving sleepheads
Not to mention Vice President f-word.
Oh. That’s Grassroots Campaigns with a capital G and a capital C. I thought you were interviewing with a grassroots campaign.
I think you and I have have more than Fires in common.
G’night Dick. Challenge those minds tomorrow.
Did you say G’Night? If not, when it happens, have a peaceful one.
Hugs to you, anyway.
Was she having the vapors? Or is that a strictly La/Ms kinda thang?
Goodnight to those who have left and those who are left. Splendid evenings to all.
Yes. You. Can.
Or so I’d SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO like to believe.
Good one. Forgot about that…
Night. I’m hittin’ the hay. Go Jankees!!!!! Go Giants!!! Let’s Go Rangers! I love this time of year.
Night, RF. Time for me to toddle off as well. Take care all.
Aye Caramba !
I hope RonD hasn’t melted into a puddle.
Alas, I, too, must retire for the evening. i shall sleep on a bed of rusty nails as punishment for even daring to think that Our Lady of Perpetual Tweeting is nothing short of a SAINT! SHE’S A SAINT!
G’night, pibbles!
Ah, I see someone beat me to it.
Well, as you can tell, I’m up to comment 71!!!!
I’m only 50-60 behind now!!!!
Don’t you have to be dead to be a saint? Unless, of course, you are on a football team of sorts.
Nite WT.
g’nite watertiger
707
I was just this am, maybe yesterday, thinking of our Ron Dog! Are you, like empathic or something? Yeah, me too.
(((Petro)))
This was the softest summer since we moved here in ’88.
And it’s been downright delightful since our last warm spell pre Labor Day.
What global warming? lol
Did ya enjoy the storm, Tuesday?
G’nite WT !
I’m not dead, and I just might be a saint. Har.
Yep, but why do non-wingnut shows have to participate?
Or is wingnut welfare not a public option???
So confusing?????????????????
((( demi )))
wees knows ours peeps … *g*
Ah, geez. I meant empathetic. You know. It might mean go lay down, girlfriend.
Some belated advice for John McCain
You be good to yourself to man.
Guden nacht.
Hardee har har. Loves you, hon.
G’night, sister.
speaking of jobs.. hey meghan
Game’s over, the infernal church bells have struck midnight and I’m off into the night.
Yeah, right. Put her in front of Trader Joe’s with a Clip Board. Ha! For minimum wage.
Glad I’m me.
Suz !
G’nite all !
Lullabyes to you.
wingnut welfare or no access to the rest of the stable is my guess ofguy
ok.. this is too fricking much..

An official Louisiana justice of the peace refused to marry an interracial (Black and White) couple saying that interracial marriages harm children… in a word, he denied a heterosexual couple the right to marry out of concerns for miscegenation…
Didn’t this problem get fixed already, 40 years ago????? I mean legally.. in Loving vs VA? A decision of the US Supreme Court? 388 US 1 (1967). I’ve had it. I’m leaning toward supporting secession of their region.. followed by a quarantine of it.
We laughed until we cried at this one! Sorry I’m so late replying…
Suzanne!
If I remember correctly, there’s just enough time left for a Happy Birthday wish!
(My memory is goin’ — am I right?)
you are correct and thanks tejan. here on the west coast i still have almost 3 hours left — and if ct shows up then we gotta include hawaiian time and gives me a couple extra hours :)
Wow.
Don’t even know what to fucking say. I mean we come on here, we laugh, we joke, and yet…. the real world is still SOOOOOO FUCKED UP.
Goddammit.
Goddammit.
Shit don’t know what to say but Goddammit.
Why the fuck do….
Nevermind.
Goddammit.
OH AWESOME!!!!
H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y!!!!!
So now you’re like, what, 32???
Oh, that’s right. Best of all three hours left.
It’s my middle one’s day as well. He and his room mate who also share today went to Disneyland, who had a if it’s your b-day, you get in free day.
Hugs, cake, kisses, warmest best for the future wishes to you!
Oh, good. I forget so many birthdays these days.
It’s another decade b’day for me…so now I have an excuse, I guess.
I’ve stayed off the computer and the news today, reading an entirely frivolous murder mystery as my way of celebrating. My mood is much better than it has been.
i’m double nickle this year
We say Happy Birthday. We share soup. We say we’re blessed for what we have. GD it!
That’s what we do.
are we birthday twins? laura doty and i share the day — hell we could be birthday triplets!
Yep, remember, we’re in the post-Obama non-racist society.
I kept thinking, reading that story – does this guy know nothing about our PRESIDENT?????
There are places truly isolated from the rest of society, even today.
thanks demi
Happy Birthday Suz
Awww, you forgot? Heck, it’s only been a year since it came up….*g*
Yup, but you’re a mere babe in arms….
I’d forgotten about Laura Doty, but I think you mentioned it last year.
Really Big Hug, girlfriend.
Yeah, I’m in a weird mood myself tonight, much better than usual.
Wonder if avoiding the real world is a mood enhancer???
Anyways, just responding to let you know you’re not the ONLY one who forgets birthdays these days. Trust me.
gotta laugh and joke around at night so we can fight again in the morning
(Be careful what you ask for.)
thanks sunny
i’m gonna blame it on celebrating. yeah, that’s the ticket i have been celebrating and forgot.
i’m sorry tejan… we are birthday triplets
Wonder if avoiding the real world is a mood enhancer???”
No wondering about it. Not watching the news means no yelling, growling, cussing, etc.
Well, I did cuss some when the water went off as I was about to wash my hair….Water main break or something on the corner. But, frankly, the anger wasn’t half what I feel listening to the usual idjits like Grassley, Buchanan, McCain (either one), Bachmann, etc., etc.
Yeah, that is what we do.
I just can’t help but think what life would be like if we…..
Nevermind.
Dreamworld again I guess.
Kid! (Hoppy birdy two ewes!)
tanks shoe pj
Happy B-day Suz.
If this happened in a foreign country, we’d probably impose sanctions. They’d at least get a UN resolution thrashing them, which we’d champion.
I just googled around the web, and found literally scores of righty blogs from Tennessee to South Carolina supporting this judge’s illegal act. WTF is wrong with these people?
thanks felix — nice to see ya again dood
In reverse:
I mean, the real world is SOOOOOO FUCKED UP…and yet…we come on here, we laugh, we joke, .
kool
No worries. You are famous in FDL world, after all; easy to remember.
Can’t remember which Oct. date is my youngest cousin’s birthday, and which is her daughter’s. Seems like half my family has an Oct. birthday, including my mom. Never forget hers – if I have her card ready on my birthday, she’ll get hers on time (next Tues.).
another instance of ‘do as i say not as i do’. this is wrong on so many forking levels….
Happy birthday Suz! You share it with Oscar Wilde, Suzanne Somers, Bob Weir, and Tim Robbins, among others.
Oh, lord. That’s more depressing than thinking there’s one malicious fool out there…
And, of course, we all know the hostility to Obama has “nothing to do with race.”/s
Dreamworld is good. Make your dreams come true.
Disneyland.
Or dream land. Or the world you choose to live in.
Would you like a cup of tea? Sleepytime is what I’m making, and I could easily make two cups. ((Oldfatguy)) Hugs and lifting you up, honey.
And, yes my husband is watching. And, as I said before, it’s all good.
suzanne somers? i share with chrissy from 3′s company? holy moly
thanks rat
Well, a happy double nickel to ya.
Guess it wouldn’t improve your mood to learn we’re pretty close to each other would it???
Didn’t think so.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUZ.
And no, I won’t bring it up no further.
Promise.
rf – is it after midnight where you are? That wiki’s for tomorrow – the 16th.
So do you call this a Tweetrum?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUZ!
Well now, I don’t keep track of these matters, but I heartily endorse OTHERS to do so, that I can find out about!
Hippo Birdie, gal, many more.
Thanks for all you bring to the FDL.
Sending big birfday hugs to yas, had I knowed, I woulda baked ya a pizza. *G*

thanks ktown
as always, I’m lurking at the treeline!
Oh geez, that’s…..
Dammit. I’ll just stop there.
thanks larue — ya still got time yanno
margot you are back!!!
Do you feel sorry for Meghan McCain? I do. Even politics needs its Paris Hilton. I really hope she sticks around…
i don’t waste my time thinking about her at all (unless of course there is a thread making fun of her here at the lake)
“Welcome to Hooter’s. Tonight’s special is Campbell’s tomato soup.”
Yeah, but we do share with:

and it’s the day the Byzantine general Belisarius entered Carthage….in 533 C.E.
Thanks, ratfood – didn’t know you could wiki dates.
joyeux anniversaire, Suzanne!
I share mine with Phyllis Diller (hooray!). Mostly it seems like famous people like to check out on my birthday, Billie Holliday, John Coltrane, Walter Cronkite. I swear I had nothing to do with any of it.
thanks pun – good to see ya again
Oh crap, I thought she said it was tomorrow.
punaise – what am I missing? I don’t see a pun…help!
hmmmm alice was an improvement over chrissy
I missed this, it’s YOUR hippo birdie too!
And many more for yas, then! *G*
Me either. I’m totally joking, though I don’t get why she didn’t realize that she would get ripped on for that photo (not that I have a big problem with it).
I put Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck in the same category with her, btw. And Sean Hannity gets his own special place in the circle of people not worth thinking about.
(wikipedia)
No idea if this is true, but I like it.
bon appetit!
(sorry, more oblique than usual)
Hooters. Hmmm. Maybe you should suggest that to her as a fall-back if she does decide to give up twitting.
Thx. Like they say, better than the alternative!
If your birthday is on the 17th you have an even better group. Arthur Miller, Rita Hayworth, Montgomery Clift, Tom Poston, Evel Knievel, etc..
AND Irene Ryan.
Aloha Ya’ll from the heights…! ;-)
Yeah, well, yer taller and smarter, too . . . god I hated that show . . . ;-)

Happy b-day, tejanarusa!
its my birthday and what birthday girl wants birthday girl gets (or some such thing) i started celebrating last night when the east coast struck midnight
22% on the MSNBC-insta survey said they agreed with the JP’s decision. My guess is that proportion would be even higher on Falsenews, assuming their journos can tear themselves away from balloon-boy coverage, which, of course, they would never do. Of course, they did cover this other winner of a story:
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/15/kansas-lawmakers-redneck-rap-taken/
“A rap on YouTube featuring Republican Rep. Bill Otto criticizing the president’s policies has been taken down.”
The article suggested that Google/youtube was censoring legitimate political thought, when the “criticism” was delivered in the form of the vilest and most obscene possible racism.
I’m just sick. This is not how I wanted to end my day.
OMG Jimmy Fallon has Late Nite Wives or such — HIlarious!
Hapday Birthday to youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

That’s it…all this cake talk…I’m going to the fridge for a slice of leftover old wedding cake – from the daughter’s event 2 weeks ago
saved the top layer, but really, it’s not going to ship to them 3000 miles

Little Peggy March?
Not sure what that has to do with writing letters to pressure Reid and the White House to bring forward a bill that will save thousands of lives a year.
And if two, TWO people started singing it,
someone might think it odd.
But if three, THREEEEEE people at FDL,
Started singing it all at once, in HARMONY.
Then people would notice it.
And if, . . . . well, you know the song.
Add me to a baritone below the soprano lead.
One more time now, with FEELING!

“Happppppy Birrrrrrrthdaaaaaayyyy

We made little Orrin hatch angry yesterday with our MoveOn gathering outside the federal building (Orrin’s SLC office headquarters). Seems he didn’t like us advrtising how much he gets in contributions from the health insurance & drug industries. Now he’s threatened to kick us in the teeth (Andrea Mitchell’s show today).
Can’t, I might get TESTED for an application!!!
*G* Once I GET a job, now . . . ;-)
Hope life has been da kine for you and yours.
How’s the house building?
Yes, I do like kittehs. And how did you know I’m bad?
ya know.. he’s an avid guitarist and amateur song writer (really)? He probably has a song or two written about us….
Ya know, any day that I can help to piss off Orrin, is a good day for me.
Yep
As a prime-time sit-com, looks like The McCains may have run it’s course. The ultimate sign the end is near, the adding of the younger, “still cute”, family member. Like the bespectacled blonde boy, Oliver, in the final season of the Brady Bunch, the spectacular blonde babe, Meghan, twittered across the blogosphere, jumping the shark-infested Grand Canyon, the fantastic global gap squeezed together into two exquisite bodacious Americas.
The kid looks like John McSame on the Senate Floor.——
