Sarah: Please, just pardon us and get out of our lives forever!

mmph. glurf. ggrg. flumpf. gakkk.

Friggin censorship.

Another sparkle burst moment. I'm all tingly.

Don't ask, don't tell, don't expect me to actually keep the promises that you knew I wouldn't...

Whatever happened to those 18 million voters, about which we heard ad nauseum in primaries ? Couldn't they rustle up something to retire her debts ? Or is Mark Penn is too poisonous even for them Pumas.

I will await official word from Obama camp about the sos instead breathless reports here and msm, noth that there is much difference between the two now-a-days.

Hillary Still Owes $5.4 Million To Mark Penn

Stiff the cocksucker!

Her populist argument fails when you realize she is swilling a starbucks beverage while being interviewed.

I distinctly see the color of a starbucks christmas season cup just at the bottom of the screen.

Elitist!!

So have we somewhat gotten over Lieberman by now?

Somebody was writing that Obama should give Mid-East peace a serious shot, after Bush wasted 8 years on ruinous foreign adventures.

If they had tossed Traitor Joe, I presume AIPAC would not have hesitated a heartbeat to cynically defame the President-elect as a supposed anti-Semite. Hard way to start -- why not dodge that bullet and try for the magic 60?

Other thing is that it would give the smirking vermin 2 or 3 annoying weeks to play Drama Queen. (Or am I being too negative for a Friday?)

I see people are nervous about wire taps. If you all knew how easy it is now a days. Back in 1998, a directive came out to ensure capabilities existed to properly monitor transmissions across telephone networks.

CALEA.

You can read about it HERE.

The initial standards came about in '98. Since then, the capabilities and requirements have significantly expanded. These guys can remotely monitor any phone call they want now, at the drop of a dime.

If any of you are serious about learning more about this there is plenty here to get you started. I think we all may want to invest in some ACME Tin Foil Hats.

Since when does "on track" equal "done deal?"

Sounds more to me like the Obama Transition Team got "enough" -- not all, but enough -- stuff from the Clintons to do a passably thorough job of vetting. "On track" reads more like the real vetting has begun.

And why wait 'til after Thanksgivin' (Palin spellin') unless they are still a-vettin' like crazy.

Reminds me of.... a Thanksgiving poem by John Berryman:

My daughter’s heavier. Light leaves are flying.
Everywhere in enormous numbers turkeys will be dying
and other birds, all their wings.
They never greatly flew. Did they wish to?
I should know. Off away somewhere once I knew
such things.
Or good Ralph Hodgson back then did, or does.
The man is dead whom Eliot praised. My praise
follows and flows too late.
Fall is grievy, brisk. Tears behind the eyes
almost fall. Fall comes to us as a prize
to rouse us toward our fate.
My house is made of wood and it’s made well,
unlike us. My house is older than Henry;
that’s fairly old.
If there were a middle ground between things and the soul
or if the sky resembled more the sea,
I wouldn’t have to scold
my heavy daughter.

The earth is being invaded by Paliens...beware the sightings.

"...The only thing surprising in retrospect is how aggressively the Republicans seemed to court the disaster...."-Josh Marshall

Pretty much explains the last 8yrs. It's what they rely on...disaster and corruption. They essentially have done nothing but protect the wealthy and their holdings and finally the majority in this country had their eyes opened and said "Enough".

It's why their smears and swift boating tactics didn't work this time. The last time they were effective certain republicans set about bragging about how their "lying" and organized dirty tricks were so successful and how easily the public was to manipulate into believing their gutter politics that the "public" became resentful. The public really wants honesty and truthfulness from candidates and don't like being manipulated.

When certain republicans began bragging that doing anything to win was okay the public longed for integrity and fairness. Once exposed by their own tongues very few people wanted to be apart of this dishonest, party first organization because the issues had become too serious and "Party" became secondary to finding ways to deal with our huge problems.

If Democrats offered nothing but attacks and smears on the opposition the nation would be headed into a civil war or a complete collapse. Necessity demanded action and planning and this is what the Dems offered and the republicans didn't...refusing to change any of the elements that led us into our current disaster...especially tax cuts for the very wealthy.

The majority of republicans do not stand for their stated republican principles they stand for people who hate the opposition. They admire the leaders that bash the opposition...Joe the Plumber is a perfect example, hating Obama and "liberals" was more important than his own economic interests....and he stupidly refers to it as "his principles". If McCain had the same plan as Obama on tax breaks and said the exact same words as Obama to 'Joe', then Joe would be praising him to high heaven...(and vice-versa if Obama offered McCain's plan).

Hate the sinners who won't atone translates to hate the liberals who won't agree. In the modern age one would be hard pressed to find anything "good" for the American people that was done by repulicans.
Selfish, self serving, profiteering hypocrites using fear and hate to gain power cultivated daily by the likes of Limbaugh, Savage, Hannity, Coulter etc., this republican party is more a cult than a party. They have been invaded by Paliens.

About Hillary, I can say this:

We won, okay?

She didn't grab the nomination and neither did we get her and Bill as Twin Veeps. Big victories there, *big* ones.

She doesn't have to do much as Secretary of State if she doesn't wish. Just not be disloyal, and show up for occasional events. Obama's people can cover everything else. She fucked up the Iraq vote good and proper, but I think it's because of weakness (disqualifying her for Presidency at least this time), not some wicked plan. If she has something substantive to add that is consistent with direction coming from Pennsylvania Ave., great. She does have star power, the world will love her, we'll be hated and targeted less with the two of them in the media.

Barack will be able to handle her. She can't begin a Presidential bid for around 6 years, in the ordinary course. Why not make her reasonably happy? Her and all those spite-filled Wounded Women she riled up. It's not the job she wanted after all. She did campaign for Barack, and she told her misandrist core followers to stay away from the Moose Queen. You know, she will be an organizational tool for Republican fundraisers, but they're going to lose in 2012 anyway so they can waste their money however they like. She might be an asset, unlikely to create harm, she deserves this, and we can afford to be magnanimous. Richardson can take some other job.
