Wow. subby seems to have some... issues.

Shaggy_C: What is it with Obama Weeners that gets people so aroused?

I'm not touching that one with a ten foot long Presidential-elect pole.

In-your-end-o innuendo

Clarification is always welcome in this confusing world.

Have you seen Obama's pecs? He could probably tap anyone he wanted in San Francisco.

Once you go black, you never come back.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ............what?!?!?.............I am going back to my nap now..............ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I'm not surprised.

Black men love big asses, right?

CA politicians are some of the biggest.

Obama hasn't tapped anyone from the [deep deep] south. i think that is funny.

Shaggy_C: What is it with Obama Weeners that gets people so aroused?

let me tell you in plain standard english: finally, after 8 years, we have someone Competent in the Whitehouse. see, its really that simple. have you ever worked for a boss who doesn't know what the hell he's doing?
try doing that for 8 years.

Wow, this got greenlighted? I think the subby is trying too hard-on this one, he is stretching it.

Shaggy_C: What is it with Obama Weeners that gets people so aroused?

He's not Bush. They'd be excited for a yellow dog as long as it wasn't Bush.

AndreMA: Wow. subby seems to have some... issues.

If it were any city but San Francisco, yes. But it's San Francisco; especially with an opening lede/graf/whatever you kids are calling it these days like this:

"California's intellectual pipeline to the White House is again open wide and flowing, as the Golden State will have key advocates bending President-elect Barack Obama's ear on its behalf."

It's a lot subtler than the in your face vulgarness of 'Mike Hunt'. Sets the tone for the whole article, if your mind wants to go there.

this is also a tap:



just sayin.

The joke is on Obama because CA has no political talent!

Il Ingeniero: The joke is on Obama because CA has no political talent!


I came in here to say this.

/From Massachusetts, so I shouldn't talk.

FTA: "Naturally, the nation's most populous and electorally rich state (which is also rich with campaign contributors) would have a great deal of influence."

repeat: (which is also rich with campaign contributors)

/me pulls the bong away

dude...what? California has political talent??? I thought that voting stuff was all crap just so the media could have some news.

/sarcasm
//subby needs to get his mind out of the gutter and into a book

Wow. One of the weakest "trifecta in play"s ever seen. Both actual headlines aren't amusing to anyone other than a person desperately trying to read something other than the obvious meaning. (Huh huh, huh huh, hey Beavis, they said "exit only" and "tap", huh huh, huh huh.)

Like Memoryalpha said in the other thread, "Did someone go to sleep leaning against the green-light button?"

Knows of another similar sounding word to "innuendo".

/all I could think of...

I tried working for an incompetent boss for 3 years. Drove me nuts. I finally had to quit before things got really nasty. Like me taking a dump on his desk. Being my skeptical self, I must say that I think it's too premature to claim that Obama is competent. A fantastic campaigner, yes. Competent as Prez? Who knows. I hope he is, but time will tell. The bar is set pretty low after the last few years, so he's got a good shot.

This is nothing new for the SF Chron. I'm sure the editors knew exactly what they were doing with the hed.

No... in YOUR end-o...


Air five!

Stanford Professor Linda Darling-Hamilton



Nah... Can't be.

the state's cutting-edge ideas on climate change and green jobs will be aired across the Cabinet table.

Well that'll be sure to piss the naysayers off...

Same thing happened in a paper in Amherst, MA

I came for the mooninite pix, and left disappointed.

A Moran was the choice, they missed the chance for internet gold. Like, "Moran Tapped By Obama".

Have you seen the buns they have specially made for those things? So round and plump, with just a hint of Onegro.

Dammit. Oregeno.

Civil_War2_Time: Onegro.

Whoops.

Another actual San Francisco Chronicle headline, Obama taps California's political talent. In-your-end-o innuendo tri bifecta in play

FTFS.

You do realize that to "tap" someone has more meanings than the more modern slang one, right? Like to tap someone's shoulder or designate them? Or to tap into a natural resource (in this case used metaphorically)?

"taps", "pipeline", "Wide and flowing".

Most people in San Francisco would think oil or water metaphors. (Since oil is a big deal generally and water is a recurring story in the Chronicle.)

But you're thinking. "Everybody in SF is obsessed with the buttsecks! so it must have innuendo." Nevermind that the average age of a Chronicle reader is about 50, so 'tap that ass' would not be a widely known idiom.

/Born and raised in SF.
//Not everybody in SF is teh ghey.

Alaska facepalm is facepalm.

I'm really not seeing this. : (

California's political "talent" includes:

* Arnold Schwarzenegger
* Ronald Regan
* Richard Nixon

Obama should look somewhere else.

You must have a gift for fortunetelling.....unless you've confused being in "The Office of the President-Elect" and all manner of pre-appointments and posturings with actually being in office. Get back to us in 2012 and tell us who's competent.
