Uh Oh, Someone is Out of Touch

I wonder if he's said this before? Hmm... If only there was some way, like video or something, to track this. Oh wait...

The Economy is Crumbling

Uh oh, the barbarians are at the gate and they are looking for blood.

From the WSJ:

The American financial system was shaken to its core on Sunday. Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. filed for bankruptcy protection, and Merrill Lynch & Co. agreed to be sold to Bank of America Corp.

The U.S. government, which bailed out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac a week ago and orchestrated the sale of Bear Stearns Cos. to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in March, played much tougher with Lehman. It refused to provide a financial backstop to potential buyers. Without such support, Barclays PLC and Bank of America, the two most interested buyers, walked away. Barclays said Monday it pulled out of the potential deal after deciding it wasn't in the best interest of shareholders.

Eight years of Rethuglican rule is coming apart. This is going to get uglier before it gets better.

Republican Peggy Noonan: It's Over!

Sweet Mary, mother of God, this Palin woman is the gift that just keeps on giving. I saw this on DailyKos and HuffPost, so I have to give both shout outs for posting this first.

Want to hear what powerful and respected conservative shills really think of McCain's Palin Problem? Here ya go:



Open mics are a bitch, just ask Jess. In case you can't hear them well here is a transcript:

Peggy Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Mike Murphy: Um, you know, because, I come out of the blue swing state governor world. Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, this is all how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it's not gonna work.
Noonan: It's Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Chuck Todd: Don’t you think the Palin pick was insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson, too (inaudible)
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning...
Todd: She's never looked comfortable up there..
Murphy: They're all bummed out.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can obtain?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit about narratives...[couldn't hear the end of it]
Todd: Yeah, but what's a narrative?
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and it's not what they're good at, they blow it.
Murphy: You know what's the worst thing about it, the greatest of McCain is no cynicism, and..
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it, gimmicky.

Wow. Fucking. Wow. Can we call this game now? Really. I don't want to embarrass McCain any further and clearly he has some mental health care treatments to start. Beating up on an old man does give me a chubby, but thrashing a crazy old man? No fun there. Can't we at least get a standing eight count?

Hey, you wanna be Ambassador to France?

Update: Crooks and Liars also has this post. It's gone viral!! Since O isn't sure where this started I just wanted to spread the love. Asante sana, lefties for looking out for O. Much love to you and yours.

Thy Name is Petty

This is a picture of George W. Bush at the 2004 RNC convention accepting his party's nomination. Please note the Greek Revival columns and raised platform.

Now, empty-headed Rethuglican parrots, shut the fuck up.

Fair and Balanced, Like Hell

My dawgz over at 236.com have assembled this hilarious one minute review of FakeNews Channel's recent documentary of me. I laughed so hard my face effen' hurt and I actually drooled all over my VP applications.

Update: Posting video here for your viewing pleasure:

Hannity Has a Man Crush on McCain

Oh, snap! Asante sana, Alan Colmes. Much love to you and yours for taking Yawn Hannity to task for being a fat-faced partisan dick head who simply hates Democrats and has no interest in examining the character of the people he likes.

As if being a POW makes any difference in this conversation. What an ignorant fuck!

Hot Chicks Dig Obama

I know I'm still on holiday but... the LA Times has an article about the Mummy's latest attempt at making himself a completely irrelevant laughing stock. The stunt in question is yet another ad about my celebrity status. This one is called Hot Chicks Dig Obama. LOL Really. I'm not making this up, yo.

From the Times:

Most controversially, the spot features one young woman complimenting Obama's "aura," and a second young woman singling out his "very soft eyes" for praise. And then there's a fellow saying of the 47-year-old U.S. senator and father of two who defied long odds to emerge as one of the two main contenders for the most powerful office in the world: "Hot chicks dig Obama."

I love this shit. Honestly. We are now firmly ensconced in a bizarro world of school-boy penis envy by a seriously disturbed old man running for the most powerful office on earth. Someone who cares about your Very Serious Problems so much that he spends his time and your money on joke and humor ads. Isn't there a recession going on somewhere? I forget.

Dude, this shit is off the hook! Next will come stinging insults about how my penis is only 10" long, or that my IQ is only 160, or that I only have two Grammy awards. Ouch! ROTFL!! How ridiculous can this tiny little man get? He is now like the guy who told a joke that everyone laughed at and now he can't stop himself from retelling the same joke hoping that people still like him enough to laugh again... and again... and again. Crazy, right?

Envy much? Much too much.

Suck it Crusty the Clown

I am still chill'n in Hawai'i and loving hanging with the family but I got to thinking about this whole "Obama is a celebrity" shit that has been going down for a bit now. The liberal press has been eating this spoon-fed bullshit for a bit now but I know you folks ain't feel'n this shit.

So I pick up my iPhone and I am checking out Internet Movie Database (IMDB) and see this bullshit. And I'm the celebrity?

So I had Axe make this...



Suck on this John Sidney McCain III, you lying fart.

Dirty, stinking liars. Remember when The Mummy was a principled man?

People O Hates: Hannity

Sean "Yawn" Hannity is a fat-faced, dirty fuck who has been a well-known and reliable sympathizer of white supremacy causes on his show and who now has the nuts to say that I can't point to one incident of the Rethuglicans making an issue of my race. WTF!??

You're right stupid, dirty liar... I can point to many. My homies over at Media Matters for America got my back.

Asante sana, MMFA. Much love to you and yours for shoving your research weenie in Sean Hannity's chubby face. Gobble up, Hannity.

UPDATE: Yawn is the gift that keeps on giving. Check out this additional example.

They Report, They Decide

Do I really even need to say it?

1968 All Over Again

Just between you and me... I don't think John McCain is a racist... he is just hoping you are. There, I said it. Fuck him.

For Drunks, Racists, Illiterates and Other Republicans

Empty suit? Really? O looks hella fine in a good suit. I mean, I know I am power player thin... but empty? And my post-racial skin tone goes well with as many of the earth tone hues as with the traditional power suit dark varieties.

I am sick and tired of hearing the meme from the white-wing of the Old Party that I am an empty suit. Fuck you, you jealous half-wits!

I graduated near the top of my class at Harvard. Have you heard of that little school? A couple of notches above DeVry, I hear. Anypop, I am fucking smart. No. Scratch that. I am fucking brilliant. I have accomplished much in my amazingly interesting and captivating life and I am starting to get a little pissy that you dirty fucks are hating on O like this.

In case you are truly interested in checking that bullshit at the door here is a list of things I've accomplished in just a couple of years in the Senate. Now... suck that bitches.

O, out!

Smoke and Mirrors

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only." ~ Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities.

Not since Dickens has there been this much flippin' confusion and contradiction about the economy . It would be laughable if it weren't so serious for hard-working Americans.

Asante sana, HuffPost for reminding us that Bush still doesn't know his asshole from his mouth. Much love to you and yours. Good thing this is all in our heads.

Speechless

Wow. This even makes me squirm. There goes that ambassadorship to Luxembourg, stupid ass. Watch and enjoy, Obamabots.
