Pied Piper Pitt Has A New "Scoop"

ATTENTION ALL REPORTERS!!! Start checking your Blackberries! William Rivers Pitt has another news scoop! You should find out about it in 24 business hours. And the amazing scoop can be described in just one word according to Pitt: "Eagleton." Ironically, Pitt might finally get a scoop right but in the wrong way. The Pied Piper thinks this will apply to Sarah Palin being removed from the ticket but I happen to know that it will be Joe Biden who will be facing the same situation due to a certain piece of material out there that will surface soon...maybe in 24 business hours. This material would be like watching Tom Eagleton actually undergoing electro-shock therapy. However, I really don't want Biden to be removed from the Obama ticket. It is much better for him to remain where he is and pull Obama and all the other Democrats down, unable to recover from the loss for at least another generation. So it turns out that Pitt is right but in 180 degrees the wrong way as you can see in his DUmmie THREAD titled, "So...the top post on Talking Points Memo is 1 word long...one name, really...and a question mark..." Therefore let us join Pitt in mid "scoop" in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that the "Eagleton" word will soon be resurrected but not in the direction that Pitt hopes, is in the [brackets]:

So...the top post on Talking Points Memo is 1 word long...one name, really...and a question mark...

[The Pied Piper Pitt memo is 1 word long: "Drunk."]

"Eagleton?"

["Biden?"]

For the edification of any who don't yet know about one of the more remarkably grotesque political debacles in modern American history.

[As big a debacle as the scoop about Karl Rove being indicted on May 12, 2006? While we wait 24 business hours for Pitt's scoop to materialize, let us join the DUmmies in progress...]

I don't get it...is it the replacement thing or the mental health thing? Or is there some other significance to the name.

[There was a lot of significance to the name of Jason Leopold, half of the famous investigative team of Leopold & Lib who broke the Karl Rove indictment scoop.]

The replacement thing. They are implying she will have to be replaced. They might have used "Miers?"

[Or "Biden?"]

Well, McGovern lost the election after Eagleton thing. I think they are implying this could cost McCain the election if he has to replace her.

[Note to Obama: Please don't replace Joe Biden after a certain piece of material is revealed. BTW, one other person other than Charles Henrickson is privy to the material. FReeper faq put on his Sherlock Holmes hat and figured it all out to the extent that he even knows the date and location of the material. Oh, I am also going to have to swear faq to an oath of omerta.]

Who would he choose for his encore?

[Hillary? But I don't want Obama to make a switch. I hope he stands 1000% behind Joe Biden.]

Eagleton, for those who don't remember, was tapped to be a VP running mate and then had to be un-tapped. It was very bad all the way around.

[Watching a video of Joe Biden in Beaver, PA, I am wondering if he tapped a keg there.]

DUmmies Already Slamming Sarah Palin

Before I get into how the DUmmies are already attacking Sarah Palin, let me congratulate the Democrat ticket of Obama bin Biden for choosing Beaver County, Pennsylvania for their campaign kickoff. That is why Li'l Beaver is making his cameo appearance in this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies.

Okay, now for Sarah Palin. Oddly enough, your humble correspondent was good buddies as a youngster with an Eskimo from Alaska. And the strangest thing about this is that this was when I was living in Puerto Rico. Fred Duncan might have been the ONLY Eskimo in Puerto Rico. I sure never met another one there. He was in my class from about the sixth to eighth grade. What happened was that Fred was adopted by an elderly white couple in Alaska who later moved to Puerto Rico. The main thing I remember about them is how fanatical they were about their pet Pekinese dogs who won consistently at dog shows down there. The other big thing I remember about Fred Duncan is that he was HUGE. I mean the guy was over six feet tall at the age of 12. Plus he had a lot of weight on him. Fred's method of fighting was to merely jump on top of his opponents and simply crush them under his weight. However, Fred wasn't a bully. In fact, he was incredibly sensitive. One time I remember him sobbing uncontrollably with tears streaming down his face. I can't remember exactly why he was crying but it wasn't because of fighting. Like I said, he was a sensitive guy despite his size. What else do I remember about Fred? Well, I got an education on Alaska since he told stories, in his peculiar accent, about the tundra.

Okay, so much for my Alaska nostalgia via Puerto Rico. The subject of this DUFU edition is how the DUmmies are already slamming Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Obama (Camp) Response to Palin." So let us now watch the DUmmies gang up on Sarah Palin in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, picturing Fred Duncan crushing a bunch of DUmmies under his weight, is in the [brackets]:

Obama (Camp) Response to Palin

[I think Joe Biden's hair plugs are already falling out.]

Source: TIME - Mark Halperin

“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” said Bill Burton, Obama Campaign Spokesman.

[LOL! Obama is complaining about Palin's lack of foreign policy experience?]

Sarah's okay as a governor of a state of 600,000 population, but a heartbeat away from the presidency? No f****** way.

[Meanwhile it is perfectly all right to have been a "community activist" working with a corrupt organization like ACORN and spending only about 143 days in the U.S. Senate doing nothing.]

Palin Is A Wacko; Expose Her! Did anyone else see that picture of her with a fish. What a Nazi nut!

[Holding a salmon with a hook in it's mouth? Gestapo torturer!!!]

KO Will Rip Palin. Did anyone see how KO rip the AP for being biased against Obama's speech. Great stuff. Where would we be without him? KO is the best. He will rip this broad apart.

[That's the MO of KO.]

She has an EIGHTY (80) percent approval rating in AK???

[Uh-Oh!]

Biggest blunder since McGovern chose Eagleton

[What I know about Biden is going to make the Eagleton problem seem like small potatoes. Watch for the Biden scandal to break in either 24 business hours or soon after the Republican convention.]

I hear she likes mooseburgers!

[She just lost the Bullwinkle vote.]

I really hope this backfires. But again the media will play this BS up. Hopefully the American people won't bite.

[They might like a bite of mooseburger.]

Worst choice since Caligula appointed his horse.

[Mr. Ed?]

DO NOT FORGET WHO YOU ARE FIGHTING WITH. THEY ARE ( GOP) THE LOWEST AND DIRTIEST POLITICAL PARTY IN MODERN WORLD. THEY DO ANYTHING AND SAY ANYTHING TO WIN , JUST LIKE MCINSANE

[Taking a recess break from your Rubber Room, eh Mr. Caps?]

She hunts wolves from helicopters. how sick is that? They run down wolves with a helicopter and when they finally collapse from exhaustion the mighty hunters blast them with high powered rifles. She's a perfect successor to Cheney.

[I hate hunters who use semi-automatic rifles in helicopters. When I go helicopter hunting I set my AK-47 on full automatic. DIE INNOCENT FOREST CRITTERS!!!]

Beauty Queens for McCain!!!!

[Bar Hags for Obama!!!]

She should have aborted the tissue and moved forward with her life... Stupid is as stupid does.

[Said the DUmmie from NARAL.]

Biden is going to eat her alive! Hit fast, hit hard. Give her hell, Joe!

[By the time of the vice-presidential debate, Biden will be demoralized by a certain release of information that will happen in 24 business hours.]

Puma loves it. They are wild with delight over at the PUMA board. YEA!!

[Uh-oh!]

Did Olbermann Get On-Air Talking Points From KOmmie KOs?

Talk about a complete LACK of professionalism! But in the case of Keith Olbermann, I'm not surprised. Last night MSDNC's Olbermann launched into an attack on an AP reporter who dared to be mildly critical of Barack Obama's speech at the Barackopolis. Guess what? It followed the same script as that posted by KOmmie KOs himself posted in KOmmieland just minutes earlier as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Fournier outsources AP anti-Obama attack." You can get up to speed on the Olbermann attack and the update about KOmmie KOs feeding him his lines at NEWSBUSTERS. We already know that Olbermann has a diary in KOmmieland (where they have a petition to purge Joe Scarborough from MSDNC) and that he regular monitors that site on the air from his laptop. So is it a coincidence that Olbermann parroted KOmmie KOs's lines? You be the judge? In the meantime let us watch KOmmie KOs lead his pack in attacking AP reporter, Charles Babington, for daring to be slightly critical of the Obamassiah in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that Olbermann is already lining up his excuses so as not to have to confront the EVIL Republicans in St. Paul, is in the [barackets]:

Fournier outsources AP anti-Obama attack

[Stand by for your on-air talking points, Keith.]

This time, it's Charles Babington.

[For daring to be mildly critical of our flawless Obamassiah.]

Barack Obama, whose campaign theme is "change we can believe in," promised Thursday to "spell out exactly what that change would mean."

But instead of dwelling on specifics, he laced the crowning speech of his long campaign with the type of rhetorical flourishes that Republicans mock and the attacks on John McCain that Democrats cheer. The country saw a candidate confident in his existing campaign formula: tie McCain tightly to President Bush, and remind voters why they are unhappy with the incumbent.

Of course, no candidate can outline every initiative in a 35-minute speech - especially one that also must inspire voters, acknowledge key friends, and toss in some autobiography for the newly-interested. And Obama did touch on nitty-gritty subjects, such as the capital gains tax and biofuel investments.

He said he would "find ways to safely harness nuclear power," a somewhat more receptive phrase than he typically uses for that subject.

But most of his address echoed and amplified the theme that dominated the four-day Democratic nominating convention here: George Bush.

[GASP! How dare that reporter not be completely adulatory!!!]

Update: Meanwhile, Olbermann says on MSNBC: "Charles Babington, find new work."

[Gee, what a surprise. Olbermann reading his laptop for KOmmie KOs talking points. And now to hear from the other KOmmies...]

I don't think that guy heard the speech I heard. Ridiculous analysis.

[Only reports totally in awe of the Obamassiah are acceptable.]

Fournier was probably on the phone dictating what he wanted him to say based on an advance copy of the speech.

[KOmmie KOs doesn't even have to get on the phone to dictate his talking points to Olbermann. He merely has to post the talking points in KOmmieland, secure in the knowledge that Olbermann will be monitoring them on his laptop while on the air.]

Keith Olbermann is reading this article right now aloud on MSNBC. Interesting.

[Gee, what a "coincidence."]

Olbermann talking about it. says it is the ONLY source that will be going out to ALL news sources. He doesn't have a clue who Babbington is, but Olbermann says he should get a new line of work.

[The first time Olbermann ever heard of Babington is when he read about him in KOmmieland.]

BHO just nuked Planet GOP from orbit. It has taken me nearly an hour to put any coherent thoughts together.

[Your first coherent thought should be where you can find a sale on Guy Fawkes costumes.]

Keith just took on Babington and the AP....

[Surprise, surprise.]

Keith is reading it right now. is in disbelief----bears no resemblance to the speech we just saw----said-- Charles Babington, find new work. Said this is going to newspapers across the country and is so basically dishonest.

[Keith is so good at reciting KOmmie talking points.]

Go KO! He seems baffled by the article. He said Babington needs to get a new job!

[If Olbermann chickens out of going to the Republican convention, he might be needing to get a new job.]

Six years ago...4 years ago...I was angry and ready to fight...in 2002...I was crushed worried and feeling that the Democrats had abandoned America and the Republicans were going to rule forever...I want Republicans to feel like that

[A Guy Fawkes costume is in the mail to you.]

OMG KO is reading it noww!!!!

[OMG KO is reading talking points noww!!!!]

Olbermann is reading this on the air right now!

[Hey, he surfs KOmmieland just like you do.]

Oh God it's so wonderful to finally have somebody on television to push back against crap like this.

[Keith knows where to go to get his talking points while on the air.]

I think KO is reading Kos on his laptop as we speak!

[A KOmmie finally does speak TRUTH to power!]

Tears flow in DUmmieland: "I'm all choked up..."

Tears are flowing in DUmmieland. And no, it's not from the pepper spray. It's because America--at least the Democrat Party--has had the goodness and enlightenment to NOMINATE AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN! Boo hoo! Sob! I can't believe I lived to see this day! Pardon me, I'm a little verklempt! Talk amongst yourselves. . . .

There, I'm better now. As I was saying, this is a very moving moment for the DUmmies. So let's begin with a musical tribute to White Guilt. Click the link and sing along:

THE LIB'RAL WHITE CROWD THAT CRIED
Tune: "The Little White Cloud That Cried" Original

I was thinking, "Down goes Obama"
Feeling Barry's sure to slide
When all at once I saw, filled with drama
The lib'ral white crowd that cried

They told me they believe what he preaches
And no one cares what he tries to hide
They said sometimes just warm fuzzy speeches
Make all the lib'ral crowds cry

They said Barack will solve all our issues
Heal our souls, still all our fears
Don't ask how, just pass us the tissues
Our eyeballs flow with tears

They asked me why the rest of the voters
Don't believe, their eyeballs are dry
That's how I know that come this November
The lib'ral white crowd will sit right down and cry

The laughably lachrymose THREAD is called, "I'm all choked up..." So grab a hankie and take me out to the bawl game, in blubbering Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, almost ready to join the worshipful multitudes tomorrow night at the Barackropolis, is in the [Barackets]:

I'm all choked up...

[I'm in love! I'm all choked up!]

When I was born Black & poor over 60 years ago in rural Mississippi there was no way I could have ever even remotely conceived this moment.

[This sixty-year-old black man from Mississippi is probably really a forty-year-old white lesbian from Massachusetts.]

Should I not live to see this election through. . . .

[Being a poor black sharecropper in Mississippi is rough enough, but then there's always the threat of lynchings.]

Thank you America....

[Thank you, Barack America. Now let's hear from the other crying DUmmies. . . .]

And reading that got me all teared up. Bless you.

[Kumbayah, my Lord, Kumbayah. . . .]

I cried during the nom too & I made my husband watch!

[I guess he knows how to get some action in the bedroom later.]

"This is history! You make me watch great football plays. For me this is a great play!"

["Sure, dear, whatever you say . . ." (as he mentally reviews his fantasy football picks).]

Beautifully stated....may you live to see all of Obama's eight years as President and many more.

[Eight is enough! In fact, ONE year of Obama as President would be too much.]

Now I am crying also. . . .

[It's contagious!]

I just wish that certain *white* people on this board and in the "liberal" blogosphere had the decency to not be such @$$holes and work to play African-descended people against women during this cycle.

[Let me guess, you're one of the Hillary Harridans.]

Iowa here sharing your tears...

[WEAR THE TEAR!]

Passing Kleenex. . . .

[That must be painful.]

Now you have ALL of us teared-up! I'm just so happy we can share these tears of absolute joy with each other.

[Schadenfreudenschade?]

This 57 year old, white, ex-combat infantryman, is getting a little misty as well.

[. . . wrote the 27-year-old transgendered grad student.]

Oh jaysunb, you make me cry, I am so happy and joyous for you.....

[Group hug!]

It's time.

[It's blubberin' time!]

D*mn You. Now you got me blubbering like some old fool.

[That's because you ARE an old fool.]

This convention is making me go through the tissues like no tomorrow.

[But save some for tomorrow, when we make the pilgrimage to the Barackropolis.]

Congratulations - to all of us.

[We are the ones we've been waiting for.]

I can't help but think that folks like Rosa and Malcolm and Dr. King and all those involved with the movemnt helped free us all -- blacks from their oppression and whites from their bigotry.

[Therefore, since we've all been freed from oppression and bigotry, when Obama loses in November, it will simply be because he's a lousy candidate, right?]

Your post just got me teary!!
I'm crying with you. . . .
your post brings tears to my eyes. . . .

[Glub, glub, glub. . . .]

I had no idea I'd be so hyperventilating during all this. . . .

[Careful with thos asphyxiation games, ben.]

my emotions are way over the top!

[That's why you're a liberal.]

I promise you - that I will do all I can to get Barack Obama elected in November.

[Barack will call you when he needs you, Rev. Wright.]

I'm white and 46 (today) and am sitting here crying with you.

[It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to. . . .]

Now I'm getting weepy, too.
Now I'm going to cry!
The tears are flowing.

[Flash flood warnings are in effect. . . .]

This is the mountain top.

[Please make the fountain stop.]

You have shouldered the hurt and I as a white have shouldered the embarrassment.

[White Guilt in a NUTshell.]

New Hampshire unanimous for OBAMA!

[Indonesia unanimous for OBAMA!]

It's a great day for Americans and the world!

[Bah, who cares about Americans? It's what the WORLD thinks that counts!]

HOPE lives.

[WHITE GUILT lives.]

I'm a 32 year old middle class white girl . . .

[. . . pretending to be the son of a black sharecropper.]

I can hardly read the thread titles.

[We'll hold a fundraiser for you, sfexpat2000.]

Barack Obama, the first African American president of the united states.

[Well, sort of--on the African, American, and President parts.]

There are no words.

[For Democrats, there are ONLY words.]

As a Canadian, I have followed the Primaries and now the Convention.

[Take care of your own country, you stupid hockey puck.]

rest assured many people from all over the world are rejoicing with you all.

[They LIKE us, they really like us!]

As a person originally from the Caribbean, I really do share your sentiment.

[Parrots of the Caribbean.]

Stock up on those tissues, you will need them for Inauguration Day.

[Stock up on those tissues, you will need them for Election Night.]

I've never been as proud to be an American as I am today.

[Is that you, Michelle?]

You'll see the election. And we'll toast victory along side of you.

[WHEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! Freudenschade, baby!]

this old white woman found herself crying too.

[There, there, Hillary. There's always 2012. . . .]

This is not the end of racism, but IT IS, FOR CERTAIN, THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF RACISM.

[Gotta give yourself that escape clause for when Barry loses in November. . . .]

Hugs to you.

[God bless us, every one!]

COLORADO (Be Sure to Wear a Gas Mask on Your Face)

RECREATE '68! DAYS OF RAGE! DAYS OF RESISTANCE! Yes, the moonbats are revolting! The feces has hit the fan in Denver, as the mile-high marchers have begun to RIOT4PEACE! But let's first get in the spirit of things with this ode to the anarchists. Click the music link and sing along!

COLORADO (Be Sure to Wear a Gas Mask on Your Face)
Tune: "San Francisco" (Be Sure to Wear Some Flowers in Your Hair)" Original

If you're goin' to Colorado
Be sure to wear a gas mask on your face
If you're goin' to Colorado
You're gonna breathe some pepper spray and mace

For when in Denver, Colorado
Democrats will see a riot there
In the streets of Colorado
Angry people with foul-mouth words to spare

Democrat convention
Chaos and dissension
Moonbats revoltin'

Beggin' for some attention
Take 'em off to detention
Moonbats revoltin'
Man, they're revoltin'!

For when in Denver, Colorado
Be sure to wear a gas mask on your face
If you come to Colorado
Democrats will be a basket case

If you come to Colorado
Democrats will be a basket case

Well, how have the DUmmies been reacting to the protests of their sisters and brothers on the streets of Denver? Actually, many of them have been critical, not because they disagree with the protests per se, but because of the damaging effect they have on Democrat chances. However, some true-blue Trotskyites have dared to defend the rioters protesters, as in this THREAD, "a drive-by rant* regarding the perception of protestors at the DNC...." So let's get radical as the DUmmies TAKE IT TO THE STREETS (from the comfort of their basement swivel chairs), in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson, who was a Nixon Republican teenager in Chicago at the time of the 1968 riots, is in the [brackets]:

I'm shocked and disappointed by the degree of disdain many DUers have shown toward the leftist protesters at the Democratic National Convention. Folks are acting like the left should be falling all over itself with gratitude for the democratic party instead of being angry to the point of public demonstration.

[Find your angry!]

rather than spoiling the show, like someone pissing during the Olympic opening ceremony, protesters at the DNC are . . .

[. . . throwing poop.]

One DUer in a recent thread . . . suggested that America should treat its dissidents like the Chinese, and "lock them all up." That was a DUer with a reasonable post count too, not some visiting disruptor.

[You THINK it was not some visiting disruptor. But can you be sure?]

the democratic party has variously ignored the left, used the left, been dishonest with the left, and generally failed the left. . . .

[Uh, DUmmie, the Democrat Party IS the Left!]

the democrats, who might give some minimal lip service to progressive reforms. . . .

[Or Democrat interns, who also might give some minimal lip service.]

Rather than reviling them, we should stand with them.

[So why aren't you in Denver, Mr. True-Blue Leftist DUmmie mike_c? Huh? Now let's here from your fellow DUmmies. . . .]

the protesters getting airplay are all PUMAS & other RW GOP plants.

[I was kinda suspicious of one of the protest leaders they interviewed. Had a bandana on, of course, but still, he looked vaguely familiar. What was his name again? I think it was "Kurt Grove," or something like that. . . .]

hmmm. sound like the plan to recreate 68 is right on track.

[Yes! Recreate '68! Riots at the Democrat Convention, Democrat loss in November. . . . Go for it!]

I have no problem with the protests, what I have a problem with is the corporate whore media trying to stir the pot and incite conflict within the party. . . .

[But, but, I thought Barack Obama, with his "unique ability to bring people together," has completely UNITED the Democrat Party, just as he will unite us ALL when he becomes President??]

The actions planned for St. Paul will be far more provacative.

[Far more "provacative"? Does that mean "even more empty"?]

The protests in Denver have been street theater, in St. Paul there will be real battles.

[I'm picturing Norwegian bachelor farmers getting their torches and pitchforks.]

Many actually think Democrats are "the left". . . .

[This leftist DUmmie thinks that's such a ridiculous notion that he adds a smiley emoticon rolling on the floor and laughing.]

After the election, DU is going to change dramatically.

[Even more anti-depressants.]

The one thing that holds this place together is a desire to get democrats elected.
After the election, that common goal will have ended, either in success or failure.
Either way, the presidency will be run by right-wing authoritarians.

[Barack Obama, the most liberal member of the Senate, is a "right-wing authoritarian"??]

Protests at the Democratic Convention now may not be considered good timing.

[Democratic Understatement.]

Being quiet and letting the right stomp all over us is a sure fire way of accomplishing NOTHING.

[So let's find a DIFFERENT sure-fire way of accomplishing nothing!]

It's not the leftists that I have a problem with. It's the anarchists with their red bandannas covering their faces. . . .

[Bananas in Bandanas.]

out to just cause sh*t. . . .

[Or to throw it.]

Not everyone with a bandana is an anarchist.

[Some are train engineers.]

What does everyone have against anarchists?

[Anarchists rule!]

I think that it's a really stupid way to promote left-wing causes.

[Your Kewpie Doll is in the mail!]

"Bill Clinton AGAIN undermines Obama."

Bill Clinton just can't seem to say anything to please the DUmmies these days. Well, not the majority of DUmmies, that is. Despite the purging of vocal Hillary supporters that occurred after the June 11 transformation from the "General Discussion - Primaries" forum to the "General Discussion - Presidential" forum, Skinner still has some PUMAs on the prowl. While they cannot overtly express their preference for Her Thighness over The Lightbringer, they will bristle and bare their fangs whenever the mainstream DUmmies (there's an oxymoron for you) post a story about something either Clinton does to undermine Obama's candidacy, as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD entitled "Bill Clinton AGAIN undermines Obama. They want McCain to win."

So let us now watch as the DUmmies catfight over Bill Clinton's hypothetical in Bolshevik red while the comments of your humble guest correspondent, Paul Heinzman, is in the [brackets].

Bill Clinton AGAIN undermines Obama. They want McCain to win.

Bill Clinton in Denver again undercuts Obama 
By Sam Youngman 
Posted: 08/26/08 01:47 PM 
DENVER — Bill Clinton appeared to undermine Sen. Barack Obama again Tuesday. 
The former president, speaking in Denver, posed a hypothetical question in which he seemed to suggest that that the Democratic Party was making a mistake in choosing Obama as its presidential nominee.

[But...but Bill's all for party unity.]

He said: "Suppose you're a voter, and you've got candidate X and candidate Y. Candidate X agrees with you on everything, but you don't think that candidate can deliver on anything at all. Candidate Y you agree with on about half the issues, but he can deliver. Which candidate are you going to vote for?"

[Y, because we like you.]

Then, perhaps mindful of how his off-the-cuff remarks might be taken, Clinton added after a pause: "This has nothing to do with what's going on now."

[Of course it doesn't, Bill, of course it doesn't.]

[What follows is a continuation of the article which can be found at either of the above links, in which you will find lots of context for the story, but I will save your bandwith for the enjoyment of the catfight that ensues over the Big Dog.]

Who is Bill Clinton, really? In his heart of hearts, who the hell is he?

[He's the person I always knew he was. You're just a slow learner.]

Context is missing sounds like another right wing attempt to cause trouble

[Rove's mind control machine.]

What type of f***ing context do you need for this >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Maybe when he says it at tomorrow night's speech?]

The context of hating the Clintons seems to be what you're doing

[And the context of ROTFLOAO seems to be what we're doing.]

You should really consider the source... Sam Youngman is friends with Mitt

[So Clinton didn't say it?]

Personally, I need to know who is candidate X and who is Y.....

[Because the only letter that matter are the (D) or (R) behind the X or the Y.]

Yeah, I don't see mcpow as someone who know how to get anything done.

[He gets a lot done. Some of the stuff he gets done is part of the problem.]

Did you notice Bill's use of the pronoun "he" in describing the candidate who can deliver?
Would that be Hillary or Barack?

[Bravo! DUmmie "Bravo." You get the Kewpie doll. All those years of politically correct attention to pronoun gender bias have finally paid off.]

For the love of God, let it go. We get it, you don't like the Clintons. Now, what will it take to get you to shut the f*** up about that and start working to elect our candidate, Barack Obama?

[Hill and Bill convincing the delegates that Obama is unelectable, making her the nominee.]

The media has been doing this for a while now. They need to sell papers I guess.

[Yes, and now they are resorting to reporting what people actually say to do it. The nerve.]

The next two days, both Clintons need to deliver speeches that start with "John McCain SUCKS, ends with John McCain sucks, and is filled in with 100 more John McCain sucks.

[Sounds like Will Pitt's next post?]

Operation Chaos thanks you for your help. Your check is in the mail.

[You're quite welcome, but your check isn't worth the trip to the bank to bounce it.]

I have no idea what Bill was trying to say, but I don't see how it's about Obama.

[I'm really sorry about that head injury. Get well soon.]

Just STFU, make your little speech tomorrow and go away.

[Just make sure it includes your little "Candidate X / Candidate Y" story.]

Feel better, Clinton-hater?

[Nope. That sense of impending doom is still there.]

On Wednesday, AFTER Hillary and her supporters go through whatever they're going to go through, (and I think she'll do well for Obama), Obama should CUT Bill from the schedule! He's nothing but trouble!

[Oh yeah! PUMA fight!]

When was the last time Bill got laid?

[I bet it's been since the last time you did.]

Is everyone enjoying "Operation Chaos, DU Version" ??

[Immensely.]

"Suppose one candidate is married to a big egomaniac who sold his soul to the devil ...."

[Or suppose two candidates AND their spouses ALL sold their souls to the devil and then all the devil's minions got them together for a four day party in Denver....]

Thug Alex Jones Leads Mob Shouting "KILL MICHELLE MALKIN"

Watch this video and you will be convinced that there is no bigger thug on the planet than Alex Jones. You can clearly see in this VIDEO Alex Jones stirring up a mob who scream "KILL MICHELLE MALKIN!!!" This is a Pajamas Media TV video that starts off on a humorous note about the loons trying to levitate the Denver Mint. However at about the 2:45 mark things get ugly. Very ugly with Jones' ugly face contorted with hate as he stirs up the crowd. This could very easily have erupted into violence. So where were the Denver police? There were plenty of them at that location but none stopped thug Alex Jones. This is a video you just have to see to believe. And is there any way to cast Alex Jones into outer space as happened to those criminals from Krypton?

Pied Piper Pitt Praises Michelle Obama

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Right now, William Rivers Pitt should be the life of the party at the Democrat convention in Denver. At least in his own mind. Yes, the William Rivers Pitt of his fervid imagination should now be holding court in Denver. Awestruck Democrats approaching his table at an expensive restaurant and shyly asking for his autograph. Prominent politicians walking up to the seated Pitt and whispering insider jokes into his ear as Pitt nods approvingly. Newscasters surrounding him asking for his views on the various speeches. Probably even sitting in on a panel of MSNBCers giving his play by play of the events unfolding on the convention floor. But it was not to be. Instead his May 12, 2006 Karl Rove indictment scoop backfired on him bigtime relegating him to the permanent status of an insignificant pariah whose time is spent shuttling drunkenly between his Boston tenement to Bukowski's. Even his own posts in DUmmieland reflects his downfall. In contrast to the faux insider info (which was invariably wrong) that he used to post regularly in DUmmieland, he now rarely posts. And when he does it is usually just copies of articles he's read. So now that the Democrat convention has started, Pitt's aspirations for what could have been have been stirred and he is now posting with greater frequency. Of course, his posts are still pretty much meaningless but their frequency on the subject of the convention gives a clue to his yearnings. In 2004 he actually was at the Democrat convention. This year, Mr. Nobody is posting from the frontlines of his gloomy Boston tenement. One of his posts takes the "brave" stand of (gasp!) praising Michelle Obama's speech last night as you can see in his THREAD titled, "Michelle. Obama. Is. MAGNIFICENT." Yeah. And. Pied. Piper. Pitt. Is. Insignificant. So let us now watch the Pied Piper Pitt shout out his agony about his obscurity in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, giving a shoutout to the Lib half of infamous team of Leopold & Lib, is in the [brackets]:

Michelle. Obama. Is. MAGNIFICENT.

[Pied. Piper. Pitt. Is. Insignificant.]

Blowing the doors right off the joint.

[Posted Pitt blowing his lunch on the doors of Bukowski's.]

This is a shining moment, and I can hardly believe I am actually seeing it with my own two eyes.

[Seeing it on the tube in a dingy Boston tenement, NOT live like you would be in the Alternate Universe where Karl Rove was indicted and Pitt would be a famous party player. Now on to the other DUmmies...]

She could be pres too

[And em-press too]

Indeed.

[Replied Pied Piper Pitt.]

what a concept...human beings back in the white house

[What a concept...Pied Piper Pitt posting while sober.]

We're not dreaming. This is real. This IS the mountain top.
Let us be represented by those like us. She is real. Damn. Please let this be.

[Meanwhile Pitt is praying, "Damn. Please let my wasted life just be a bad dream."]

I am SO pleased she is acknowledging those who came before us... those who helped paved the way. Tied in with the message of hope for the future. Intelligent, passionate, genuine... damn.

[For the first time in my life, I'm proud to be a drunken Bostonian.]

She's a better speaker than he is. Wow! Sorry Barack. But the lady's good.

[Maybe she is the one who should have been at the Saddleback forum.]

She's hit a grand Slam! Amazing Speech. Pelosi - TAKE NOTES!

[Yeah, Pelosi sounded like she was just listing talking points read off the teleprompter.]

KO says case closed

[That's when KO declared himself to sound "borderline sycophantic."]

Are you there?

[Asked a DUmmie of the Pittster.]

Nope Sitting this one out. Thank God.

[Pitt answered like he had a choice.]

To experience this moment- to live in this time, seems almost like a gift not a curse. What an opportunity America is being given.

[Give me your address so I'll know where to send your Guy Fawkes costume in a couple of months.]

In hindsight, not at all surprised. But I'd never had the pleasure of hearing her speak under any circumstances, never mind a high-wire act like the one she pulled off tonight. She shoots. She scores.

[Pitt shoots. In foot.]

I think she connected with America tonight. When she finished I had to find a quiet place to let it sink in. She moved me to tears and Tom Brokaw had the gall to call it "well crafted". It was absolutely beautiful and we've had damn little beautiful for the last seven plus years.

[Damn that Tom Brokaw for not dropping to his knees and crying in ecstasy at the sound of Michelle's voice.]

I told my wife that I am now unexpectedly excited to see even just the style-change that the Obama's will bring to the White House. I am so used to flat, life-less First Ladies. And gray, featureless presidents (who, none the less, do great harm).

[Elect the Obamas because they have better fashion sense... Well, folks, it's going to be interesting to see if there will be more Pitt posts secretly yearning for a future that never was.]

"Unite under Obama/Biden or get on the mothership and leave"

Now that Barack Obama has picked Joe Biden to be his running mate, the Democrat campaign is reminding me of Mr. Roth's Chemistry class. Let me explain. When I was in high school, I had a chemistry teacher, Mr. Roth, who was incredibly accident prone as well as having a Robert Shrum type cloud of bad luck hanging over him. This made his class incredibly interesting. Not a day went by that we didn't have a bundle of laughs in Mr. Roth's class. One time, he demonstrated that we should always have a beaker of water at hand when doing lab experiments in case we spilled acid on our hands. So Mr. Roth demonstrated with a beaker of water and poured it over his hands. Only problem is Mr. Roth made a mistake. He actually poured a beaker of clear acid on his hands. Another time, during a test, he was reading a newspaper too close to a bunsen burner and the paper caught fire. However, the greatest laugh I ever had in my life came the time Mr. Roth was showing us a chemistry film. Suddenly the film stopped and we could actually see on the screen that the film was melting and about to catch fire. A desperate Mr. Roth attempted to turn the lights on in the dark room order to have a better look. Only problem is that despite flipping the light switch over and over again, the light remained off. Of course, all this time the class was roaring with laughter. Then another chemistry teacher from next door, Mr. Carpenter, walked in to see what all the commotion was about. When Mr. Roth screamed that the light wasn't working, Mr. Carpenter, with one calm flick of the switch immediately turned the light on. Everyone in the class was rolling on the floor in laughter. Yes, Mr. Roth entered the pages of legend with his klutzy antics. In fact, I kept telling Mr. Roth stories for a very long time. Another member of that class, Mike Karpovich, was also greatly amused by Mr. Roth and everytime he spotted a short bald guy with white fringe hair, he would say, "Hey, there's Mr. Roth!" Of course it was never him. Then one day years later, we were both sharing a ride to the University of Florida and were at a turnpike rest stop. We had a meal in the restaurant and were on the way out when Karpovich, for maybe the thousandth time, pointed at the back of a bald head and said, "Hey, there's Mr. Roth." And for the thousandth time I replied sarcastically, "Yeah, sure." However, this time we did a double take. Upon hearing the words, "Mr. Roth," the bald guy turned his head. It REALLY was Mr. Roth!!! Yes, the knights of old were on a fruitless search for the Holy Grail but Karpovich and I actually did find our Holy Grail in the form of Mr. Roth. And it was like Mr. Roth had a bright aura shining over his dome as we nostagically recalled with him many of the funny events in his classroom (and I confessed that I shoved the bunsen burner towards his newspaper with a broomstick that Karpovich handed me).

So how does all this relate to Obama and Biden? Simple. Just as I really looked forward to the comedy entertainment of Mr. Roth's chemistry class, I am really anticipating the comedy to be provided by the comedy team of Obama bin Biden. Right from the get-go we got some great laughs when Joe Biden called Obama, "Barack America." This is only the start, folks, There will be many more laughs to come so enjoy it while you can. Meanwhile the DUmmies are worried about their new team as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Unite under Obama/Biden or get on the mothership and leave." Already I'm laughing at the vision of the DUmmies boarding the Heaven's Gate mothership. So let us join the DUmmies about to board the mothership in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, knowing that Mr. Roth is still lurking out there somewhere, is in the [barackets]:

Unite under Obama/Biden or get on the mothership and leave

[Free Democrat party talking points Kool-Aid aboard the mothership!]

No more bitching and moaning, he IS our VP Candidate.

[Try not to laugh too loudly.]

THAT is all.

[THAT is an order! Now on to the other mothership DUmmies...]

We have an election to win. The negativity needs to stop now.

[And the laughter starts.]

All this bitching and moaning around here is annoying...and we wonder why we have a hard time winning elections.

[It's FUn to see DUmmies crack up. It fact, it cracks me up.]

It's not really about Obama. It's about the people who nominated him, and the direction of the party. I don't like the right-centrist christian direction the party has moved, and is headed. I don't care for the right-centrist christian positions and rhetoric of the nominee.

[What delusional drug are you taking?]

What we don't solidly know yet, is how Obama is going to change things once he gets into office, how many promises he will keep, etc.,

[Great. You support Obama and have no idea what he is actually going to do.]

I'm waiting and biding my time. I hope Obama gets elected. Then he'll be the one to watch. After all (as Harry Truman said), the BUCK STOPS right at the desk in the Oval Office.

[But the BUCK is above Obama's pay grade.]

I am wondering why the Obama followers keep telling us to "get lost." If we get lost, Obama loses by a landslide. Don't they even realize this? Why is the Democratic Party turning into a Cult of Personality for Barack Obama?
Why are we being bullied and mistreated for expressing our fears and our opinions.

[Heretics who don't believe in the beloved Obamassiah shall be burned at the stake.]

If you come here BASHING Obama and praising hillary, you'll get no respect from me or from many others. You might even get some granite.

[Let the tombstoning ceremony begin!]

This bullshit "cult of personality" meme was bad enough during the primaries, it's absolutely inexcusable now.

[Better tell that to Newsweek the next time they publish a pic of the Obamassiah with a halo around his head.]

The point here is that this thread demands that we unite or leave the board. I don't do anything on demand. My response is more about the bombastic demand than it is about Obama. If you'd like me to keep my dislike to myself, don't demand it, and it's more likely to happen.

[Party unity is a beautiful thing to behold.]

The mothership has arrived!

[In Denver!]

In 2012, we will either have an incumbent President, and won't need a primary. Or we will be in a total dictatorship, (or all dead) and it won't matter.

[In 2012 you'll be in a Walmart detention center.]

By the end of the week, any phony Democrats who are merely posing will be driven from the party convention and structure. And good riddance to them.

[I'm looking forward to the Denver Purge Trials.]

Those burnboards drive me nuts. It's like high school.

[Were you also in Mr. Roth's chemistry class?]

I'm pretty stoked about Obama/Biden but...um... there's a mothership!? Where do I get on?

[At the geographic center of DUmmieland.]

I'm not inspired by Obama nor by his running mate.

[They're inspiring a lot of mirth in me.]

DUmmies To Hillary Supporters: DROP DEAD!!!

So now that Barack Obama has picked Joe Biden as his running mate, Hillary's supporters are mad, VERY mad. Not only was Hillary not picked she wasn't even considered in the first place. Obama is so politically clueless that he didn't even go through the motions of pretending to consider her for the Veep spot. On top of that Obama has done almost nothing to help retire Hillary's campaign debt. So now that Hillary's supporters are expressing their outrage, the DUmmies are telling them to DROP DEAD as you can see in this THREAD. So much for party unity at the Democrat convention. Of course, Hillary might have a big surprise in store for them as you see in the graphic above. Hee! Hee! So let us now watch the DUmmies cast party unity aside in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, with several more pizzas in the freezer for this week's Democrat convention, is in the [barackets]:

CNN Politcal Ticker-Clinton Loyalists Outraged-"If you think we were mad before..."

[...just wait until Hillary pulls Lucy's football away at the convention.]

Here's the whole article from CNN.com:

Some in Clinton's inner-circle are outraged.
(CNN) — Evan as Hillary Clinton praised the newly-minted Democratic presidential ticket Saturday, some in her circle are furious Barack Obama did not appear to give the New York Democrat serious consideration for the No. 2 spot, or even ask for her consultation on the matter.

[At least they notified her of the ultimate choice via text message at 3 AM.]

"Set aside that Obama said she'd be on anybody's short list, set aside anybody's feelings on whether she was deliberately snubbed and the pros and cons of whether it should be her," a former Clinton strategist told CNN's Candy Crowley. "Focus on the politics of it and you have about a quarter of Clinton loyalists still not joining the caravan…for God's sake, not to even make a show of taking her seriously is flatly stupid."

[Having your political career handed to you on a silver platter in Chicago makes you overlook certain necessities like pretending to take opponents seriously.]

A top Clinton advisor also told CNN they were "outraged," over how the process was conducted.

"You can't put Eric Holder and Carolyn Kennedy on an hour plane ride to Chappaqua just to check the box? They should have done it just for the optics," this person said. "Barack never even said to her, 'Here's how I envision the job'– not one discussion with her about ."

[They couldn't be bothered to even go through the motions.]

"They thought her supporters were mad before? They are really mad now," this person also said. We knew it was never going to happen but you would have thought they might at least make a show of it."

[Start inflating Lucy's football.]

Former Clinton strategist Paul Begala echoed similar frustrations on CNN Friday night.

"I think there are a lot of Hillary voters who are going to say, 'Hey, wait a minute, man You said you were going to put her on the short list. You know, you didn't even vet her. You didn't call her. You didn't seek her advice,'" Begala said. "By the way, he didn't seek President Clinton's advice either. He's actually the guy who I think picked the best vice president in American history. You would think maybe you would sort of check in with him."

[Fury of the Forehead.]

Meanwhile, two sources familiar with Obama's VP search tell CNN's Roland Martin Clinton was very much under consideration, and it's wrong for anyone to suggest that she wasn't.

[Sure, sure. And now on to the DUmmies telling a large part of the Democrats to DROP DEAD!]

Who. F*cking. Cares?

[DROP DEAD!!!]

I agree. Frankly I am tired of their crap. The choices are Obama and mccain

[Better wait until Barack's coronation. In the meantime, there Hillary is holding onto Lucy's football. Hee! Hee!]

All I can say is: LISTEN UP ASSHOLES - SHUT THE F*CK UP UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY. Jesus H. Christ, this is getting ridiculous. You f*cking LOST already - get over it. Goddamn, I've never seen a sorrier group of sore losers.

[Is that you, David Axelrod?]

If we win, we will be set on the right track. However, if we lose, then there will be a lot of hard times to follow, and people will pay for the consequences of their actions

[Looking forward to a Democrat purge in November.]

Why won't they grow up? Did they never learn the concept of sportsmanship? This is outrageous!

[This is FUnnie!]

You're either loyal to the party or you're not. If your loyalty lies with one individual instead of the party, then f*ck off, we'll replace you with someone who cares more about America's future than your candidate's future.

[No Kumbaya singing for this DUmmie.]

i always figured PUMAS were just a bunch of republican shit stirrers

[You mean Perry Logan is really a Republican?]

These people are sorry, bitter little losers who continue to make their favorite Senator look really bad. They've done their damdest to ruin every victory and celebratory moement since the primaries ended, but they can't ruin this one. People are sick of them, and no one gives a shit about them anymore.

[Lucy promises not to ruin your party by pulling away the football.]

It's always about Hillary -- and THAT is the problem.

[And she is the one holding the football at the convention.]

F*ck those clowns, hope on board or be irrelevant...
Their sense of entitlement is amazing... They need to wake up quick or risk becoming completely irrelevant forever...

[Guess who's holding the football? Hee! Hee!]

Well, boo-f*cking-hoo. Think I'll send 'em a case of Kleenix.

[Think I'll send you a case of Freudenschade champagne.]

F*ck them and the old gray mare they rode in on.

[Joe Biden rode in on his old gray fake hair.]

We need to quit criticizing Clinton supporters.

[Too late.]

Blowhard Biden Boasts About Having A High IQ

It was probably impossible for Barack Obama to find a more insufferable ass to run with than Joe Biden as you can see in this 1988 VIDEO of Biden running for the White House the first time around. Talk about an inferiority complex! Biden, on top of bragging about his IQ, loudly goes through a litany of his academic accomplishments. Guess what? He was lying through his teeth. Biden did NOT have a full academic scholarship and instead of graduating in the top half of his class, grauduated 76 out of 85. And no, this is not the material that I claimed would destroy his campaign. I am on top of something worse. Much worse. But this video and others like it out there show just what a jerk Biden is.

DUmmies Angry With Biden Announcement

The DUmmies are angry with the way the Obama campaign announced the pick of Joe Biden as VP running mate. Yes, many are also upset with the pick itself but in this DUFU we shall cover how many in DUmmieland feel their chains were jerked by the 3 AM text message announcement when most everyone who was still awake already knew it was Biden. Oh, and for those of you waiting for the information about Biden that I have announced that will DESTROY the Obama campaign. Patience. The wheels have already been set in motion for that although even without that info, Biden will prove to be poison for Barack Obama. In fact, I suspect that Obama might even have asked Sam Nunn to run with him but got turned down and he ended up stuck with the sanity-challenged Biden. Meanwhile the DUmmies are griping about the anti-climatic text message announcement in two threads, Okay, I'm really irritated with Obama on this one and For all your pissed at the Obama campaign because of the VP leak, a couple things:. So let us now watch DUmmie disappointment in the VP announcement in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, sewing a strait jacket for Biden, is in the [barackets]:

Okay, I'm really irritated with Obama on this one.

[Did you enjoy staying awake until 3 AM learning what everyone else knew well before midnight?]

Not the Biden choice; I love Biden and think he made the best choice possible. Rather, I'm referring to the text-message debacle. I was looking forward to that moment of giddy anticipation when I would get that text message and see, for the first time, who of several options it would be. I was happy he was giving the MSM the runaround. It was going to be fresh, modern, snappy, and exciting.

[and stupid.]

Instead, I spend the whole day feeling progressively more frustrated and disappointed with the silence. Then, the story starts slowly leaking out on CNN: It ain't Clinton, it ain't Bayh, it ain't Kaine, the secret service is dispatched to Biden's house...

[And yet you stayed awake until 3 AM to find out who the pick would be. BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!]

So in the end, the story comes out at 10pm Friday night, his supporters feel toyed with, and by the time The Message goes out, everyone will have already known it for 12 hours. Yeah, "the media fixated on him today," but they would have if he had announced it at 5pm, too. Hell, he coulda really thrown them for a loop and announced it in the middle of their evening broadcasts. Yeah, he got a bunch of new email addresses and phone numbers, but that doesn't mean he had to play with us.

[Does Michelle know that Barack has been playing with you?]

So, um, great execution, guys. Sure hope you know what you're doing, because it feels to me like you tried to stretch this thing out just a day too far.

[As we watch the Obama campaign collapse in the sunset, let us now moveon to the other DUmmies...]

I Feel Used

[And abused. Poor widdle DUmmie.]

Maybe Obama...Thought we would have better things to do on a Friday night than spend every second of it on the internet with CNN in the background. If we had all gone out and had fun like normal people, we wouldn't know it was Biden. We could be waking up in the morning with our hangovers to a text message SURPRISE!

[I'm sure that Pied Piper Pitt woke up this morning with a hangover.]

I still say, Good Play, Obama Camp! They ruled the news with a carrot and a stick for four solid days.

[Congrats Obama for jerking our chains!]

AFTER he notified Bayh and Kaine, BEFORE that news leaked - that's when he should have done it.

[He didn't have to notify Hillary because she wasn't even considered in the first place. Hee! Hee!]

Meanwhile, the media has been talking about how much sense Biden makes (instead of trashing him) and McCain leaked that Romney will be his running mate (true or not) and nobody gave a damn. Hah!

[My theory is that in the future only Mormons can pass the vetting process for Veep because of their squeaky clean lives. Of course, there is always Glenn Beck to ruin that theory.]

This stuff about Biden didn't break until most people were asleep.

[I went to sleep around 10 PM and already knew it was Biden.]

Yeah, but what about those of us on Guam?

[Try moving to American Samoa.]

He should have broke it this evening. Made no sense to stretch it out this far for Biden, the obvious choice. But whatever. He knows what he's doing.

[I BEEEEELEEEEEVE in the infallibility of the Lightworker!]

I think it was a brilliant ploy. IMO, the best thing Obama has ever done.

[I would hate to see the second best thing that Obama has ever done.]

Blame Clinton, Bayh, and Kaine. They were the ones that leaked they weren't the pick.

[And next week, Hillary will make him PAY!]

Maybe they got tired of the game too, and just wanted the reporters to go the f*ck away.

[Biden gave the game away when he bought bagels for the reporters.]

Apperently, Biden has passed the discipline test.

[LOL!!!]

Has anyone actually SEEN the secret service at Biden's house? I'll wait for the official announcement.

[Posted a DUmmie at 12:19 AM as he prepared to fight Mr. Sandman for nearly 3 more hours.]

They let this go about a day or two longer than they should have. Of course it was going to leak, after they called all the people who weren't picked. Now the text message will seem kind of dumb.

[DUmb-mie.]

If he had announced today, that would have overshadowed the "number of houses" story, which I think is really important.

[And that house story is pretty much the highlight of Obama's campaign.]

If it is Biden, I agree it has been badly fumbled.

[It's been badly fumbled.]

Remember that DUers are not like most people. We are political junkies who stay up until 2:00 am to hear the latest rumor. Most people went to bed hours ago with no clue Biden is probably it.

[While you DUmmies stayed up all night and still don't have a clue.]

Poor decisions on this one.

[Including the choice of Biden.]

This is looking sloppy. What happened to the text messaging and the campaign discipline? I'll wait for the text message and take Obama at his word.

[Proclaimed the DUmmie at 1:27 AM.]

And we've been sitting here all week trying to figure it out 24-7. Wasn't the point of this kinda to beat the text message. So yeah, we basically got what we asked for, but f*ck Bayh for officially leaking.

[Hillary told Bayh to rain on Obama's parade.]

Was it like the scene in a Christmas Story where he uses his secret decoder ring to decipher the secret code and it says!!!!!! .......Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine.

[And you DUmmies ......Be sure to Drink Your Kool-Aid. Now on to the other DUmmie thread...]

For all your pissed at the Obama campaign because of the VP leak, a couple things:

[DUmb and DUmb-mie.]

Many here feel used by the campaign and disappointed that they won't be the first to know. Folks, the campaign still hasn't broken that pledge. They have yet to OFFICIALLY announce Obama's running mate, and when that happens, it will still be done via text message.

[Yeah. It's 1:34 AM but some DUmmies are going to stay up until 3 AM to find out what is already known.]

The motivation for the mass message was to tell mainsteam media, "screw you!" and honor the grassroots activists and citizens who had built this campaign. Even if the AP is correct and it turns out to be Biden, the campaign has still respected its promise to tell the voters directly via text and e-mail who the running mate will be.

[The Obama campaign was having FUn making its robots stay up until the wee hours for to find out what was already known.]

We haven't been used, so stop complaining. I'm going to be told who Obama's veep is at the same time as Candy Crowley, John King, Chuck Todd, Katie Couric. It's really remarkable that despite these leaks, I will officially be in the know when all these insider reporters are. It really is OUR campaign.

[I'm picturing this DUmmie guzzling down coffee and slapping himself in the face just to find out at 3 AM what was already known.]

Besides, while I'd be thrilled with Biden in the #2 slot, a part of me thinks this is the greatest headfake in the history of politics. Remember, these are the "Florida goes for Gore, now Bush, now too close to call" networks we're talking about. You may also know them as the "Obama will win New Hampshire by 10-15 points" networks.

[Well, Obama did pick the greatest fake in politics.]

You are rationalizing a PR screwup...if it's true. I'm still taking Obama at his word. If you can't keep something tight, don't make big promises that you can. Also, the question becomes, did the "leak" get out before others were notified that they were not the ones? One doesn't have to be "pissed" to see a bungle here.

[I saw a bungle just in the choice of Biden.]

Even worse if he thinks Biden won't destroy his campaign with his mouth.

[I think Biden's recorded words out of his mouth already destroyed his campaign.]

Obama overplayed his hand and the press said screw you. This is all so unprofessional and un presidential. It makes me wonder about Obama.

[You're just now starting to wonder about Obama?]

The Obama Camp played this one up big, the text message thing, and now they have egg on their face. Part of the thing I want is a person who knows when the gig is up, and doesn't try to squeeze all emotion until they fall flat.

[An omelette named Joe.]

He needs to find out who leaked.

[And hit him with a wet noodle.]

If some pissed off frontrunner didn't get chosen (Evan Bayh), who's to say they didn't leak out of spite?

[Bayh would have been chosen until Team Obama realized the jokes about "Obama Bayh" bumper stickes. Now they are stuck with "Obama bin Biden."]

and how silly to have secret service protection before texting a million people?

[Texting takes priority over security.]

If they keep on like this the Obama 08 campaign may end up the stuff of legend for anyone that looks at campaign strategy.

[Yes, it will serve as a classic example on the WRONG way of campaigning.]

Hillary To Bring Lucy's Football To Convention

Don't worry, Barack. Hillary has absolutely no intention of pulling Lucy's football away from you during the Democrat convention next week. So it is absolutely safe for you to go ahead and kick that football in the form of allowing Hillary's name to be placed into nomination during the roll call vote. Most DUmmies, although irked that Hillary is still striving for attention, seem to have no fear about Hillary at the convention as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Clinton's creating a 40-member team." Yes, they believe that it is safe for Hillary to bring a political football in the form of a 40-member team to "protect" Barack Obama. Hee! Hee! So let us now watch the DUmmies as Hillary/Lucy holds the football for Obama/Charlie Brown in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, hoping its not racist to compare Obama with Charlie Brown, is in the [barackets]:

Clinton's creating a 40-member team

[The 40-member football team that will "help" Obama at kickoff.]

Hillary Clinton is creating a whip team to make sure convention supporters don't assail Barack Obama during her nomination floor vote, officials say.

[Coach Hillary is just too good to Obama.]

The 40-member team will be charged with blocking any demonstration that might take away from Democratic unity during the Denver convention,...

[Please keep that in mind, Charlie Brown, when you attempt to kick that football. That was from a UPI story but here is what that same story also said that wasn't posted in DUmmieland...]

"Clinton spokeswoman Kathleen Strand emphasized the team would not seek to convince delegates to vote for the former first lady and New York senator. Clinton signs will be handed out on request.:"

[See. You have assurances that Team Clinton will not see to convince delegates to vote for Hillary so it is perfectly safe to kick that football by allowing them into the convention.]

"We have been and are working closely with the Obama campaign to make sure we have an exciting and unified convention," Strand said.

[See. Lucy has told you there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Go ahead and kick that football. Kick it!]

When will she finally do something that demonstrates she supports Obama??

[She already promised not to pull the football away.]

snake in the grass

[Lucy on the grass.]

She is just simply evil, even worse than Bush, Hitler, the Borg, and Satan all rolled into one. Of all the politicians who have ever run for office in the history of the U.S. there was and is nobody half as bad, as calculating, as unlikeable, as conniving, as cold, as heartless, as treasonous, as shrill, as vain, as selfish, as whiny, as non-fashion conscious, as two-faced, as self-promoting, as power hungry, as backstabbing, as untrustworthy, as racist, as right-wing, as untruthful, as vile, as murderous, as insane, and as dangerous as Hillary Rodham Clinton.

[So what is it that you don't like about Hillary? Don't hold back.]

We all know that she has two plans: either sabotage Obama's chances this year opening the door for her in 2012 or get elected VP and then do to Obama what she did to Vince Foster. It must be true; I heard it on the Randi Rhodes Show.

[I absolutely assure you that Lucy/Hillary won't pull the football away.]

this simply is not good enough. It's a ruse. She's gonna steal the nom!

[How many times does Lucy/Hillary have to assure you that she WON'T pull that football away?]

Charged With Blocking Any Demonstration That Might Take Away From Democratic Unity...... sounds ominous to me. Blocking?

[That's all the Clinton team will be doing at the convention. Just helping Obama. GASP! You...you don't mean blocking the Obama nomination? How can you be so cynical? Hee! Hee!]

So now someone will see this as a plot to steal the convention.

[Absolutely not. We already have assurances the football won't be pulled away.]

Good for her! Hopefully, that should shut up some of the anti-Hillary zealots.

[I BEEEEELEEEEEVE!!! I BEEEEEELEEEEEVE that Hillary won't pull Lucy's football away!]

Yay for Hillary! This is why I feel so badly for Hillary because she's doing her best but it's so hard to rehabilitate her image now and it's not really her fault anymore. Yes, the primaries were really awful and at one point, I felt like I couldn't forgive her but now, it's kinda obvious that it wasn't her but the MSM. It just kinda sucks that she had to take this precaution in the first place.

[Yay for Hillary for being so kind as to hold Lucy's football as Obama attempts to kick it.]

True, she did pull a lot of BS but she's finally gotten back to reality. It just sucks that she can't pull a lot of her supporters back down to earth.

[And she promised not to pull Lucy's football away from the earth.]

You have to give her full respect as great team player and supporter of a 08 victory.

[That's why we are allowing Team Clinton to hold Lucy's football.]

This will be a great and historic Convention!

[The attempted kicking of Lucy's football will be quite historic!]

"The so-called DU 'Chicken Littles' WERE correct in 2004."

"Investigate All 88!" "Ohio was stolen!" "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!" The Crying DUmmies had all kinds of excuses for John Kerry losing in 2004--Diebold, Swiftboating--lots of explanations EXCEPT that John Kerry was a lousy candidate who lost it all on his own. Fast forward to 2008. Is Barry pulling a Kerry? Is he snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory? A brave few on DU are voicing their concern about Opossum's plummeting poll numbers, but they are branded as either "concern trolls" or "Chicken Littles." And Kerry's defeat is explained away as Rovian trickery--which is just the DUmmies' way of steeling themselves for defeat if the Rethugs should end up stealing this one too.

So now we have the enjoyable spectacle of the Little Suzy Sunshines ("Barack is doing fine") DUmping on the Debbie Downers ("Barack is blowing it"). Witness this THREAD, "The so-called DU 'Chicken Littles' WERE correct in 2004." Let's watch, then, as the pessimistic optimists and the pessimistic pessimists go at it, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson--who, as a lifelong Cubs fan, feels some sympathy with the pessimistic pessimists--is in the [brackets]:

The so-called DU "Chicken Littles" WERE correct in 2004. . . .

[The sky DID fall!]

Many of us (myself included) watched in dismay as Kerry's campaign did everything wrong on the way to Election Day; we could feel a Kerry presidency slipping away.

[Now substitute "Barry" for "Kerry."]

But when we discussed all the mistakes, and possible solutions to them, there was an even more vocal contingent of DUers whose apparent mission (with orders from...??) was to respond on these forums like so:
"Kerry knows what he's doing, you don't."
"He's up in most of the polls, quit worrying."
"It's in the bag, I'm telling you. Kerry will win. There's nothing that needs to be done."
"Kerry has very talented people surrounding him; Bush is toast."
"Yawn. And the sky is falling."

[Lather. Rinse. Repeat.]

Voter suppression and Diebold are what did Kerry in.

["WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!" Start rolling out the excuses, DUmmies, you may need them again!]

Obviously, those two things hurt us, but after four years of Bush-the asshole, moran, war criminal, Kerry should have swept up votes like a Dyson. It should have been a freaking landslide in every state.

[Amazing, isn't it? But you guys have the knack of picking even worse candidates than we do!]

The 2004 election was stolen.

["Steal" yourself for another defeat!]

We need the whole Dem party to win this for us, but will they work it?

[Ask the Hillary Harridans, aka, the PUMAs.]

Because fear of terra worked, and that's what he was peddling.

[Maybe some of us Americans appreciate not having terror on our terra.]

Fear and Smear - what a combo!

[Kerry and Barry - what a DUmbo!]

Kerry was the un-Bush. . . .

[Barry is the un-Qualified.]

I think it's safe to say that the only hope for McCain is to scare the piss out of the electorate... make the "darkie" scary.

[OK, get the "Racism!" card out. Check. . . .]

if the majority is so deeply f*cked up that the prospect of an intelligent president who may not be 30+ years in office experienced. . . .

[Opossum doesn't even have 30+ WEEKS of attendance in office!]

just because the electorate feels more comfortable with a man who's so white that looking at him and his wife makes me think of snow-blindness. . . .

[Icicle white persons.]

Well, just imagine if he'd shown some spine and contested the results. . . .

[John Kerry is about the enter the Deconcession Chamber. . . .]

electronic machines are unreliable and too subject to tampering. I think it should be fairly easy to have the nation return to paper ballots - at least punch cards. . . .

[Is that you, Pat Buchanan?]

This VP stuff is making the kitties go wild. . . .

[Silky Phony for VP!]

Should we just give up: Democrats are destined to lose from now on?

[Yes. Just give up.]

Destined to lose until we fundamentally alter the playing field. And the first steps toward that are
1. Stop saying "we have better candidates, therefore we'll win"
2. Stop "playing chess" when the Repukes are playing dodgeball.

[Don't be such a Debbie Downer! Barack is doing just fine!]

Kerry won.

[WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! PROCEED TO INAUGURA--]

Rove and his RNC and GOP officials . . . were able to steal another election.

[Oops!]

So, What Are You Going To Do About It?

[Cry. Whine. Grouse on the internets. The usual.]

voting for Obama is voting for change like we've never seen in our history. . . .

[May we continue to never see it.]

McCain . . . would be Bush on steroids - a permanent security state. The end of US democracy.

[Now McCain is WORSE than Bush?!? How can that be???]

A close friend of mine works with a guy who has been one of Terry McCauliff's (sp?) best friends since college. My friend's coworker is also a loyal Dem and during 2000 he was on the phone with Terry screaming "What the hell, man! Slam them on this "he says he invented the internet" crap! Have Gore talk about the environment, and not just this hand wavy " I will fight for you" nonsense! This campaign is f*cking pathetic"! and Terry would respond "I know, I know, but they won't let us". Who the hell are they??

["They" are Rove, Cheney, and PNAC.]

Deleted message

[See? They even deleted that message!]

Shhhhh. You need to be very quiet about this sh*t in here or you will be labeled as a troll or a PUMA.

[LOUSY CONCERN TROLL!]

Chicken Littles are correct sometimes and we are out again seeing Obama's fall in fortunes. . . .

[Vertigo posthumous: Obama's campaign is dying so fast, it'll make your head spin!]

Some of these voters just plain ol' LIKE a fighter. . . . Maybe it's just a throwback to all the little ninnies on the playground who were first to gather around a dust-up and yell "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

[GET TOUGH, CREAM PUFF!]

We HAVE to fight with EVERYTHING we've got, and yes, go dirty, hit as far below the belt as we can reach, do sh*tty things, say sh*tty things, and go nearly thermo-nuclear.

[Well, Obama is full of sh*t, so that should help.]

Fight? Obama, fight?

[Maybe he needs Jeremiah Wright to fight for him. He's good at that.]

Obama has Axelrod. They're already defeated the most well-funded, well-connected, well-known campaign in years. I think things are different this time.

[Of course, Clinton fatigue and Hillary's high negatives had nothing to do with that, right?]

Then why on earth is his campaign so lackluster? Especially when it was flawless in the primaries?

["Flawless" Obama beat Hillary by one-tenth of one percentage point of total votes cast in the primaries.]

Obama knows what he's doing.

[Baghdad Bob checks in.]

I call it lackluster when you blow a substantial lead and are now constantly on the defensive. What do you call it. . . ?

[FUn!]

Most people who complain don't do anything to help. Write some letters, make some calls.

[DUAC! DUAC!]

I commend Skinner for taking the necessary steps he was forced to take in order to deal with many of those "chicken littles of 2004".

[LOCK! BAN! DELETE!]

I don't miss any of the grenade throwers from this year's primary, either.

[Tombstoned PUMAs.]

obama's no kerry.

[He may be WORSE. He's John Kerry without the experience.]

he's a much stronger candidate than kerry AND the political/economic backdrop is MUCH better for now for democrats than it was 4 years ago.

[Thank you, Little Suzy Sunshine.]

Kerry's team made a lot of mistakes but Obama's team is not making mistakes.

[Obama's "team": Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Michael Pfleger, Ludacris, John Edwards, Michelle Obama--no, no mistakes there!]

there are concern trolls here on DU who love to drag crap over from their right-wing masters and slap it up on our boards. Fie on them.

[A feisty fighter needs to fight fire with fie!]

I fully expect Obama to link mccaint with bushco.

[I fully expect us to link Obama with Rezko.]

I was a Chicken Little in 2004. . . . those representing Kerry couldn't come up with anything but the deer-in-the-headlights look.

[And now you've got Obambi.]

You remind me of how bad Democratic surrogates were. And so called liberal pundits. They were less than useless for Kerry.

[Useless pundidiots.]

Where do we apply for that job!

[Is that you, Will "the Shill" Pitt?]

this isn't 2004 and Obama is definitely not Kerry. but cock-a-doodle-doo all you want Chicken Little, what else do you have to do?

[Cock-a-DUdle-DU!!]

I'm not worried.

[What, me worry?]

It will be a sad day if Obama loses. . . .

["IF he LOSES"??! How DARE you even IMAGINE that!!]

I'm not sufficiently doom-struck today, and I'm feeling slightly out of place here. Maybe if I go change into black clothes, put on some Emo and pull the shades it'll get me into the appropriate mood.

[DUmmie Doomies.]

What exactly do you accomplish with all your concerns? . . . What is your action plan other than engaging in flame wars on the internet?

[Writing a LTTE. DUAC! DUAC!]

Obama is doing just fine. . . .

[Keep repeating that: Obama is doing just fine, Obama is doing just fine, Obama is doing just fine. . . .]

Word.

[Worried.]

Kerry had the appeal of cardboard. . . .

[Barry has the appeal of FRESH cardboard. Cardboard we can believe in!]

My gut is better about this time. . . .

[Barry puts the "BO" in "BOWELS"!]

Don't forget election day. Thread after thread, I saw the word "Landslide!" I can't begin to tell you how much it gave me the heebie-jeebies.

[But, but, Kerry was leading in some exit polls, wasn't he?]

Ah yes. And those of us who were not carrying on like Little Suzy Sunshine . . . needed to shut up, sit down, and learn from the superior intellects.

[Don't be a Debbie Downer! Be Little Suzy Sunshine!]

excessive defeatism must not be encouraged.

[Just normal defeatism.]

I remain fairly optimistic about our prospects.

[Famous last words.]

Don't forget: "They don't poll people with cell phones, so they're missing the youth vote!"

[Yeah, you can take that youth vote to the bank!]

It will be great if they turn out, but they might also be too busy putting enormous grommets in their earlobes to make it to the polls.

[That fad is so last month!]

God help he who questions the anointed one du jour.

[The anointed one DU jour.]

now it's a repeat of 2004....a super lackluster campaign and a sure Dem victory being squandered. of course, then as now, the response of any du-er to any criticism of the campaign is either vicious attack, or magical thinking optimism.

[Zero pessimus.]

I recall Will Pitt posting that the polls clearly said Kerry would win and I agreed with him.

[That was your first mistake. I recall Will Pitt posting that Karl Rove was indicted.]
