Meh. And I usually like Thanksgiving leftovers.

He's doing this because we always celebrate birds with jowls during thanksgiving.

Sounds like Hillary is in for a very special Black Friday.

And just how, exactly, is the new White House dog involved in all of this?

No one ever gets tapped on Thanksgiving.

All the coats are on the bed.

absoluteparanoia: He's doing this because we always celebrate birds with jowls during thanksgiving.

You know, I have a major concern about Barack: How is he going to look in four or (maybe? eight) years.

We all saw what happened to William (Bill) J. "Bubba" Clinton (arguably he did get older looking, but he did lose weight, so whatever- sum zero at best); but George W. "W." Bush, poor, stupid W., did he get the shaft in the-suddenly-aged-20-years-in eight-dept. of which the presidency has the effect. I mean the guy looks like someone from France for Pete's sake.

And well, I'm worried about Barack. He's just so good looking. You wouldn't want your family, friends, lover to look like a dried up bean. So, you know, you wouldn't want your President to look like a raisin in the sun.

Call me a protectionist, but I don't want this to happen to him. Barack has so many good qualities: great bone structure, good symmetry, bright lively eyes... Maybe we could, you know, (gosh, I know this sounds crazy) un-elect him to save his great features.

I'm concerned. That's all.

One of the Detroit papers ran "OBAMA TAPS GRANHOLM" last week or so. Made me wish I had a camera phone.

Why tap after Thanksgiving?. Is there an Upkeep Phase that day?

It's nice to see Obama getting along so well with Chris Matthews.

Just look at the Barack on her

 
DamnYankees [TotalFark] 2008-11-21 12:26:42 PM  
I really don't understand why he is choosing her. I don't think its a disaster, I just don't get it.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Holbrooke would be a much better choice.

Here's my other question - why would she take it?

 
Thorndyke Barnhard 2008-11-21 12:34:30 PM  
Don't like it.

She should have been offered Health instead of the other guy. Would have been far more pragmatically meaningful and far less politically effed-up.

By having her as SoS he gets her out of the Senate where she might be able to undermine some of his policies. Also by tying her directly to his administration via a highly important post he stops dead any chances of her running in 4 years on a "his administration sucks, pick me instead" platform.

Machiavelli would be proud.

Does that mean Bill gets a shot at Michelle too?

This reminds me of the days of "McCain taps Palin." God, I think lol'd for a week straight. Then the gravity of the situation sank in and I just got bitter.

100% in agreement.

It's the White House. The building itself is alive and can only be sustained by draining the youth and vitality of the President, which is helped along by the ghost of Lincoln.

Are you Chris Matthews' alt, be honest.

Think he needs to see an eye doctor- Michelle is much more hittable.
Then again, my ex was pretty hot too, just got tired of hitting that...

I was going to try to think of something witty to write but I don't think this can be topped.

 
Nozzlebeak 2008-11-21 02:22:34 PM  
have got to get to the eye doctor, but I had one thing:

The DIRTY SECRET of the democratic party and big media is this: the voters do not decide who the nominee is-the dnc does.

When Howard Dean was asked how the nominee would be decided he said this:

"First we will let the voters HAVE THEIR SAY".

"Second, we will let the supedelegates HAVE THEIR SAY"

"Then the DNC WILL DECIDE".

Yea, I know, wtf. If I had known then what I know now I never would have . . . .

If Dean had been totally truthful he would have said " AND THEN WE WILL INSTALL WHOEVER WE DAMN WELL PLEASE AND RIG THE SYSTEM TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS THE VOTERS IDEA.

But you can only expect so much truth out of a blimp.

Therefore, when Dean became head of the DNC and brought in the anti Clinton people and other Clinton people, they acquired the institutional leverage to rig the casucuses, neutralize florida and michigan voters, and threaten superdelegates and state committe chairmen.

And that ladies and gentlemen is where the inside game was played.

This suggests two conclusions:

1) we did our part as voters, contributors, volunteers but our role is a limited one.

2) perhaps this helps us understand why Hillary operated as she did realigning herself with the party. Perhaps not.

If the truth here was widely known then the public would not watch tv, contribute time and money. And they might not provide the mandated elites have so they can promote the fiction that this is a democracy. Therefore the charade goes on.

Bill doesn't need permission for that.

Will Bill be taping the session and then uploading to Youporn?
