Boobies

/There, got that out of the way

But seriously... What's with the hair helmet?

That does it. I'm voting for McCain.

I think Blago's statement of "Fark him" towards Obama pretty much absolves Obama of any wrongdoing.

Is anyone really surprised by this?? Thanks for the CHANGE Barack HUSSEIN Obama!!

zomg the obamaniacs are squashing the press!

/drtfa

Repeat, debunked, keep fishing cons, etc.

This.

Also, f*ck NewsBusters.

I think Obama's people were the ones who tipped off the feds after Blago tried to extort them. That's why they're being all hush hush.

Ed Finnerty: That does it. I'm voting for McCain.

Nice.

The thing is that Obama probably didn't do anything untoward, but it would have been easier to say that he told Blago to piss off than to deny any conversation took place at all.

Postal Penguin: I think Blago's statement of "Fark him" towards Obama pretty much absolves Obama of any wrongdoing.

Exactly.

Also this needs the FAIL tag badly. I need to see some fail pics.

Well, look at the bright side, at least you guys will never have to listen to the birth certificate thing being trotted out again!

Look, it is not Obama being indited in this mess. Maybe the feds have some questions for the president elect, maybe they don't. It think if I was his position I'd keep my mouth shut until that became clear or I would be interfering with a federal investigation. Anyways Obama will giving a speech tonight about what is going so I suggest you neocons just chill til then.

I couldn't figure out what the hell they were saying in the article. What's the problem?

Only a wingnut would think news is something that needs to be "busted".

Anything Obama does is a lie! A news organization issued a correction? The correction was a lie! All liberal media lies...at least the second time. The first time they tell the truth, when they say the thing we want to hear, but they always follow it up with a lie!

/idiots.

This whole thing keeps getting stranger and stranger. Did the meeting occur? Simple question. Deserves a simple answer from Blajogavanevichnevichenaaafarkithoweveryouspellhisname and Obama. Then we can put this thing to bed...or not.

Here come the apologists.

If this was Bush...wow.

We need to just stop accusing the libs of things so they can STFU for once.

Look I would be SHOCKED if he didnt discuss it with him - I would fully expect ANYONE in Obama's position to at least have a little talk with the person who was going to appoint someone to fill MY position.

I didnt vote for Obama, really other than his choice for Energy I havent been all that impressed, but I think if they did talk to him they should have said so right off the bat... A simple "yeah they talked, O-man said these few people would make decent choices and that was it" would have sufficed.

Now we have this cicling malestrom of news stores, aide comments, denials, restatements, the infamous "mispoke" - it just looks bad, and really for probably no damn good reason.

I bid 20 buck on the open senator seat so I'm really getting a kick...

Did this result in a war that has dragged on for 6 years? Then please be quiet.

Sigh.

Four, probably eight more years of this weak righty bullshiat.

Like kids throwing a tantrum in the toy aisle they just can't help themselves.

Schadenfreude ist die schoenste Freude: I need to see some fail pics.

Ask and ye shall receive:

I love NewsBusters' comments:

Wow. How much more in the tank could these guys get? No words to describe the chill on the back of my neck (as opposed to the thrill up Matthews leg) when reading this. I'm sure Google will cooperate in any way it can with the Obama coverup as its CEO now sits on one of Obamas boards.

mangomango: Did this result in a war that has dragged on for 6 years? Then please be quiet.
Expect this for another 4 years. Obama: "OMG, we farked up"? "B...B...Bush!", there, all better.

After all that has happened so far can we really be sure that Obama won the election? I mean let's compare what he was saying pre and post Nov 4th... I'm starting to feel a little...


CONCERNED

Viss: Here come the apologists.

If this was Bush...wow.

We need to just stop accusing the libs of things so they can STFU for once.

No no, please carry on. I'm getting an absolute kick out of it. The next eight years are going to be great for NewsBusters/Malkin/etc fabricating whatever story possible. It failed miserably in the election cycle, and continues to do so now.

Please keep throwing your tantrums. Please keep demanding to see Obama's birth certificate, Please keep screaming about how all the media lies. Please. It will make beating you on the things that actually matter that much easier when the country sees you for the reactionary, paranoid lunatics you are.

So...

Did these two actually meet, or not?

/trying to dig through the partisan IDIOT posts

This is just more on the innate dishonesty we can look forward to.

All he had to say was, "Yeah, we met him. So what?"

Instead, we get lies and denials and subversion of the press.

We saw this with the whole Ayers thing, but the obamaniacs just keep denying it.

Politicians........ fukk em all.

d_lebowski: But seriously... What's with the hair helmet?

You mean Blagorgeous or Planet-of-the-Apes Bozell?

I think we are going to see a lot of this the next four years. It's like the anti Obama crowd is going to try everything they can (just like the anti Bush people have been doing the last eight years)to make him look bad.

It's more a case of them shooting an arrow against the wall and then painting a target around it.

Billy McGoodGuy: Is this the thread where Obama-bots frothily defend the odd and shady actions of their Messiah and his team since this scandal broke? Oh, yes, it is.


WHARBGGGLLL! Get over it, you lost! Your tears, they nourish me! B b b but BUSH!!!!

Sort of jumped the gun there.

Cry more

no rly, please do cry more.

Blathering Idjut: Sigh.

Four, probably eight more years of this weak righty bullshiat.

Like kids throwing a tantrum in the toy aisle they just can't help themselves.

Bu-bu-bu Gore won!!

/whatever. All ya'll STFU

The press has got Obama's back.

/No tears, just amusement.

There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

Should we start taking bets as to when the Government will step in to control the internet in some form? It seems to be rather troublesome at times for politicians what with YouTube and all those pesky venues where people can see how these people behave now unlike days gone by when there was no way to get any information out to the general public without using the established media. I almost consider that prospect a greater threat to freedom than them taking away the 2nd amendment. How will they ever get away with things when someone can rebut their "No I didn't" with a "Oh...yes you did!" and show proof.

Neocon tears sustain me!

mangomango: Did this result in a war that has dragged on for 6 years? Then please be quiet.


What a sad argument. Does that mean everything less than Bush's war is OK even if it's wrong?


\I assume the worst thing Obama did here is lie, if even that, but lieing to cover your ass is still lieing.

The Chicago political stank has only just began to waft thru the national political scene. Notice the conspicuous silence of Rahm Emanuel. If Obama moves quickly and admits to whatever practically unavoidable dealings with the scum bag -- be them politically costly or benign -- he'll come thru this relatively unscathed. If he balks, denies and covers up, his administration is going to get off to a sorry start.

Too bad that the media is already covering Obama's tracks... they shouldn't need to if he's as clean as he probably is in this case. After all, Obama and Blojobovitch are not exactly political allies.

However it goes, this will be fun to watch.

THIS

Obama says one thing, his staffers say another.

Obama made brief comments denying ever meeting with Blagojevich or anyone on his staff about the vacancy and denying knowledge that Blagojevich was essentially offering the appointment for sale to the highest bidder. That statement contradicted Obama's own chief political strategist, David Axelrod, who told a local Chicago television station that Obama and Blagojevich had met about the appointment, and Obama had expressed his approval for several of the candidates under consideration. Axelrod hastily retracted those remarks yesterday, calling them, "mistaken."

Let's see how the Obama apologists respond to this.

Pretty much. I think we need to finally admit that anybody who voted for Bush is incapable of seeing corruption and hence has no real credibility. It's a nasty way of telling them to shut the fark up, but since they're just doing this to label Obama with the same brush Bush was accurately painted with, it's obvious that they're just lazily projecting their own flaws onto anybody with a Democratic Party affilation so they can continue their bullshiat 'the whole gov'ment is BAAD' meme that they want to fall back on.

Republicans are pathetic.

BunkyBrewman: So...

/trying to dig through the partisan IDIOT posts

Nonononono! We don't want facts! We want twisted, obscure, convoluted stories out of every orifice so we can all enterpret them as we see fit and REALLY have a flame war!

Don't you come around here with your logic and "what actually happened" stuff! I'm not done roasting marshmallows over these threads yet.

/in fact, have a mug of hot cocoa, a stick and some marshmallows. The sparks are so bright on a clear winter night

While I am sure there is quite a bit of that going on - are you actually saying that you believe that Obama did NOT speak to the governor who was going to nominate someone to replace him?

I guess this is one of those cases where the "simple" answer was not given - now the whole thing stinks - once again probably for not good reason.

brubakan: Neocon tears sustain me!

Man, is that one tired.

Tell a big enough lie, and it becomes the truth.... Well, acutally, Goebbels' original quote was

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Of course, he also said "Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play." Grasshopper has learned well.
