GOP Senator On Bush: Homina, Homina, Homina...
This video clip of GOP Senator Norm Coleman has to be seen in order to be believed. Coleman, who is seeking re-election in Democratic-leaning Minnesota, began literally spouting gibberish when asked what he thought of the Bush years:
This video has a date with an Al Franken ad for late October.

I can't wait for Al Franken to be a Senator. I want him to go on the O'Reilly Factor the day after being sworn in. "Please, Bill, if you would - it's SENATOR Franken. Thanks."

Hunh, now *that* is weird. Wonder if he eventually spit out an answer or if he just walked away.

Nuance and thoughtfulness is for subjects that you haven't come to some sort of decision on...most people by the time they are 40 have decided whether or not evil exists, and when they think life begins. He wasn't asked for a legal opinion, he was asked for a personal one.

Yes! Everything is either black or white, right or wrong, good or bad.
Oh yeah, and smart or stupid.

Actually, the older I get (and I'm a wee bit past 40 now), the less certain I am about the nature of evil and the nature of life, the more I see nuance in these questions.
It was much easier to be certain about these things when I had all the intellectual maturity of a 16-year-old. Which explains a lot about McCain.

"Nuance.....whether or not evil exists...."
Nope. I don't think you do understand thoughtfulness or nuance.
If you really are a Christian, I challenge you to read this article and give it some serious thought:

If you can't or won't, then I'll just say that your comments do far more damage -- regardless of your objective -- than good.

Um...obvious he/she did watch the show, did you?
All indications would point to definitely not. I could be wrong though, conversations get a bit garbled when you are talking out your ass. Wipe and try again.

Had you watched it you would realized the 5 million comment was humor and McCain even said "I bet they use that against me soon" and they both laughed again (at the stupidity of you).

..it was humor, trying to mask the fact that the old guy simply didn't know - which is worse.

Snippy one word answers of the meaning of life -- always a reassuring sign.
Yup, yup, yup.

Good point....to use a little (and by that I mean a VERY little) SFC Wallace logic: you would think a sitting US senator who has voted on the topic several times would remember if he was for or against the coverage of contraception by pharmaceutical companies. I guess he's too busy out "defeating evil".

The "SFC" is only here to annoy people. He adds nothing, other than background noise.

I wish they'd just ban the troll already, he is nothing but a reliable source of bullshit right wing talking points. Probably one of McCain's highest paid trolls.
Probably trying to save up for that dream ride of the "Straight Talk Express"

Never mind the gibberish... wtf is up with those giant white choppers? I can't even look at the guy. He looks like Martha Raye.

These days, do you think Norm is wishing that he remained a Dem? What happened to the liberal Hoftsra kid who once wrote?:
"I know these conservative kids don't fuck or get high like we do (purity, you know)," he opined in the student newspaper apropos an upcoming student-senate election. "Already the cries of motherhood, apple pie, and Jim Buckley reverberate thorough the halls of the Student Center. Everyone watch out, the 1950s bobby-sox generation is about to take over."

OT, but Biden on the attack today:
"I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?"

Good job Joe...grab another topic that has dropped off of the front page and get the conservative base fired up even more. You guys have this campaigning stuff down to a science.

If you are so fucking cocksure of that, what are you doing here?
Why does it still matter to you so much that you troll these threads?
September 9, 2008 1:14 PM | Reply | Permalink
right, cause the conservative base isn't riled up. and the indies all know how extreme she is. jeez, read a paper.

Why not? They apparently get fired up at the drop of a hat anyway.

maybe wallace has a point. maybe there's huge contingent of people to the right of nancy reagan and orrin hatch who have been unmotivated till now because they don't know of mooselini's defense of blastocysts.

i should say certain blastocysts. i'm sure she's okay with the thousands of blastocyst-americans flushed down the toidy as a by-product of in vitro fertilization. as long as those poindexters don't get their science-loving hands on 'em.

Actually, this is something that needs to get more play in the press. Apparently the Republican platform this year calls for a ban on ALL funding - private or public - for embryonic stem cell research.

Congratulations, Senator McCain - you have officially turned the Republican party over to the wingnuts.

I would, if I were a reporter, ask any Republican who opposes stem cell research, if that meant they were then going to commit to not availing themselves of any future therapies thus derived, and further, commit their families to the same standard.
And I would be sure they answered with either a "yes" or a "no" - no other words allowed. Repeat as necessary.

I think this would be a good line of questioning for Palin as well.
September 9, 2008 1:13 PM | Reply | Permalink
Good idea.
Has anyone asked both McCain and Palin about their impressions of the Bush years and how they liked their president?????
Any non-gelded non-cowardly non-wimp reporters left in the US of A?

SCFW is right.
Don't blame ex-mayor Wilma Flintstone about rape kits . . . The Rethuglican wipe who pretends to be the law in the town also thought it a 'cool' to save money . . . Apparently all the Y chromosomes in town have indentical genotypes AND as Alpha Male he got dibs.

Coleman's reply was actually more understandable than many.
I mean, *I* got it. What's wrong with you guys?

So, it was humor?
Then what was his serious answer?
Or was the joke that the American people felt like they deserve an honest answer, McCain laughing all the way to the Whitehouse at anyone stupid enough to be honest.
Or was the joke that McCain has no idea what rich is because he simply spends his wife's money an has no idea what it means to earn a living.
