If The Progressive Movement Hasn’t Yet Died of Shame . . .

  • Also, good round-up from Oslo at Not Your Sweetie’s. I am stunned by NotYourSweetie’s news that the Peace President has waay more troops in harm’s way than W did. Also, did you know that in addition to the 200k+ US military troops in Af-Pak-Iraq we are also deploying 240,000 Private Military Contractors?? WTF?? If the Progressive Movement hasn’t yet died of shame, someone should put a bullet in its head.
  • Stateofdisbelief is sniffing around the “Public Option” Switcheroo.
  • obama’s Strongly Disapprove level is at its record high.
  • I hope this story doesn’t reflect badly on the Clintons.
  • And in Oslo, obama says Israelis “fear a loss of their identity,” rather than say a loss of their ACTUAL LIVES. Ben Smith is not surprised that a large number of Israelis believe obama is a practicing Muslim. Holy smokes. (I don’t think he is, for the record. I think he’s a jackass.)

Murphy, you never know in this lame media age how things will effect elected officials, however, I hardly see how the Mark Penn story could reflect badly on the Clintons when it was Obamas admin that gave the damned money to Mark Penn. Where all this damned spendulous money has gone is unbelievable, mccain keeps an ongoin list goin on twitter of the ridiculous pork barrel places those funds have gone. It’s sickening, and they are and were obama backers. The Clintons had nothing to do with this freaking 6. whatever million Mark Penn’s companies got, this was a buy out, pay out, pay to play if i ever saw one and for what, 3 jobs. What a guy. What an idiot.

Michelle is still trying to come up with a cause to promote? Know why? Because King BO wasn’t there to interrupt and tell Barbara his wife’s first duty is to her family, being a mother to their daughters (which he’s actually done on air before). Michelle must be at a total loss as to what to say without her lord and master there interrupting and laying down the law. Sheesh, the last time those two were with Barbara, Zero kept insulting her and her dog, and that’s when he kept snapping at Michelle when she tried to smooth over his insults and told her they would NOT be getting any “girly” dogs.

assault on a police officer… uh oh…not good. Olson looks like an actual pig in that photo.

snippet from Murphy’s link:

Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.

Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.

Zee, yeah. the “sarcastic” comment he made about her plays right into the michelle haters’ (of all stripes) who “know” she is a nasty selfish bitch,

but how weird is that? insult your wife in public much jackass?

Murphy: I think that’s a good idea to give the Sarah Palin book for Christmas. The Hillbuzz story is shameless. How calling the shots here? A kindergardener? Eck, screw Michelle. I was holding out hope that it would be Hillary.

That limpoid has some serious insecurity issues.
He should have gotten a Rottweiler to prove he’s a manly man.
Wasn’t the dog supposed to be for his daughters?
Freakin’ Jackass.

Dances, Michelle told him as much. She said, “well we are girls.”

And he sputtered over that, too. Jackass…the dog was supposed to be for the girls, anyway. Well, the dog they got is essentially a poodle. Portuguese water dog? Well, poodles are water dogs. So, of course he had to name it after himself.

Anyway…lots of good links, today, but alas, I’ve got to get some other things done!!

Zee 12.10.09 at 12:25 pm

Oh, no surprise about the Obots and Trig. Remember Cindy McCain and her work with deformed children? During the election they made fun of that, too, including doctored photos.

during his nobel piss prize speech this morning he reiterated how the muslims had interwoven into the United States seemlessly and again to their wonderful contributions. Please listen to one of those folk who have interwoven so seemlessly.

I know a lot of us are less than happy with the Nobel Committie, at the same time, some good news from Oslo.

Nobel Prizes honor a record 5 women:

(AP) – 25 minutes ago

STOCKHOLM — A record of five women have received Nobel Prizes in Stockholm, including a writer who depicted life behind the Iron Curtain and researchers who showed how chromosomes protect themselves from degrading.

Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf handed out the prestigious 10 million kronor ($1.4 million) awards in chemistry, physics, medicine, literature and economics during an elegant ceremony Thursday in Stockholm.

President Barack Obama received the peace prize in Oslo earlier in the day. Alfred Nobel’s will from 1895 stipulates the prizes should be given to those who “have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.”

Five women and eight men were awarded Nobel Prizes this year. In all, only 40 women have received the prizes over the years.

Just dropping in. Have been very busy at work for several months and have not even had time to lurk.
Thanks, Murphy, for still being here.

While reporters this morning including fox, were saying Obama had written the better part of his acceptance speech at the Nobel Peace Prize event, Bill Kristol seems to think he’s pulled in some of Bush’s speechwriters, he has some of Obama’s speech and some a speech Bush made in 2002

There’s plenty of documentation that Oblahblah plagiarizes speeches…
recycles speeches as his own. The guy is a dimwitted lying fraud in every and each step and of the way.
Recall the Deval Patrick “Words” speech composited with the Obama “Words” speech youtube?

Paraphrasing HRC’s comment: “Policy you can xerox.”
