OK, folks – time to spin that airlock wheel and enter the iso chamber of horrors. Don’t worry – it won’t hurt – much.
First up –for whom the bell trolls!
Bob Woodward trolled us

Twitter exploded last night, after Bob Woodward revealed that White
House official had warned him he would “regret” saying Obama had moved
the goal posts on sequestration.
Predictably, conservatives
latched onto this, as it confirmed our suspicion about the Obama
Administration’s “Chicago-style” of politics. A lot of mainstream
journalists bought into this, too — reflexively believing anything the
great Bob Woodward says.
Of course, Woodward (who was expert at
trolling for publicity before the internet even existed), benefits
greatly from the publicity (nothing sells books like controversy).

To: Nachum; All
No, Woodward did not troll us.
What is being lost in all of this, is that Woodward got about a 30
minute earful from the White House, and that earful wasn’t whispered
sweet nothings, either.
And Lanny davis and Fournier have been on the receiving end, too.
Bliss.

Even after theyjust finish reading the rebuke, itstill goes sailing right over their collective head.
To: Nachum
I don’t think that it is the Chicago way, actually, I think it is Hillary’s revenge.
Watch all of those who are loyal to her line up against the Obamas.
Operation Chaos II – electric boogaloo!
Trotting Michelle out everywhere was always going to make her annoyed.

The moral of the story is: never trust a left wing partisan hack.
He appeared to change his stripes, but that was so he could get some
air time from our news channels.

Sour grapes Matt?
No. Just a sensible analysis of the facts.
When
I saw conservatives start to drool over Woodward, I suspected we were
being played. He probably sold 10,000 books from people who wouldn’t
have considered it before his big “break” from the administration.

OK – pack up the tent show – time to take it to a new hick town – the rubes are getting wise.
More after the sequester…
Well, let’s go to turncoats-ville, shall we? We’ll start with the oldest drums of traitor-baiting and work our messy way forward.

Colin Powell Slams ‘Idiot Presentations’ by Some Republicans, Urges GOP Leaders to ‘Speak Out’

Colin Powell Slams ‘Idiot Presentations’ by Some Republicans, Urges GOP Leaders to ‘Speak Out’
In
an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos during
ABC’s special inauguration day coverage this morning, former Secretary
of State Colin Powell lashed out at people in the Republican Party who
spent the last four years spreading “birther nonsense” and other “things
that demonize the president,” calling on GOP leaders to denounce such
talk — publicly.
“Republicans have to stop buying into things
that demonize the president. I mean, why aren’t Republican leaders
shouting out about all this birther nonsense and all these other things?
They should speak out. This is the kind of intolerance that I’ve been
talking about where these idiot presentations continue to be made and
you don’t see the senior leadership of the party say, ‘No, that’s
wrong.’ In fact, sometimes by not speaking out, they’re encouraging it.
And the base keeps buying the stuff.
“And it’s killing the base
of the party. I mean, 26 percent favorability rating for the party right
now. It ought to be telling them something. So, instead of attacking me
or whoever speaks like I do, look in the mirror and realize, ‘How are
we going to win the next election?”

I understand your confusion. They’re so very hard to tell apart.
And – from the pot calling the kettle black department:
To: Sub-Driver
Colin Powell looked into himself and asked: “m I American or Black?”
He not only decided that question needed to be asked (it doesn’t) he
answered in the latter when he voted and now speacks 100% based on the
latter.
Shut up Colin, you damn racist.

Someone needs to tell this racist idiot to leave the Republican
party, that he is not welcome. Sick of these Obama Republican ass
kissers.

go the hell away…you were never a Republican.
Never stop writing this stuff. Always brilliant, always hilarious, always sanity-saving… 🙂
I now have permanent emotional trauma stemming from the visualization of the phrase “pulling a train on Cain.”
((shudder))
Seriously, I may sue.
In talking with a friend who is clinically psychotic, even his words have some string of coherrence that I can latch on to.
But the Freepers. Living in a world where Woodward’s exposure of Watergate was a partisan hack. Where Faux News went for Obama in 2007.?????????????????
Also I’ve never understood something from the moment that Rush came out with “half-rican”. Using census criteria, 1/2 black = black. And while I get that they want to avoid to appear to jump on Obama because he is black, what is the logic in using Mulatto / half-rican/etc. as if these were worse than being black?
Thanks Tommy T!
Love that cry of “Palin Unchained!”. Every time she quits or gets fired, the “Palin Unchained!” chorus starts up. Because now that she’s not a governor / VP / campaigner for President / Fox News pundit, she’s free to be a true leader! Or join Dancing With the Stars! Or … whatever!
Thanks, guys – much appreciated!
