No kidding. You can’t make this shit up. This animal actually said that. I just cannot believe it. I mean I really can’t believe it. I’m so pissed off I had to post this on my “day off!”.
Toss another knuckle-dragging sack of crap into the pile that guarantees the Republican Party will never recover. Imagine being married to something like this and not killing it in its sleep?
And don’t forget to buy some gold from this neanderthal, you hear?
Gordy talks periods at :35 seconds.
Say good night to me, Republican Party. Between Rush “feminazi” Limbaugh, Glenn “I’m 95% chick! I blubber all the time!” Beck and now this animal, I will stay home before I vote for the next Republican candidate. Guys like this are the best weapon the Democratic Party has. This ranks right up there with, nay it surpasses, Barack The Pig Obama’s reference to “Periodic moments” aimed at Hillary. It takes some real experience to outPig Barack Obama in the “Offend women” department. Is this what you REALLY aspire to, Republican Party? If so, say goodbye now. You deserve to be eaten alive by the other animal farm.
And I couldn’t resist stealing Gordie’s “hot” pic from Riverdaughter. I nearly went blind when I saw it. And speaking of “Patriotism,” there’s nothing like wearing the American flag over your old and shriveled age-induced low-hanging ball sac.
I’m sorry, but this is just beyond the pale!
Poor Michael Steele. It’s hopeless, isn’t it? I will keep this video to remind myself to stay home in 2012. This is the face and voice of the Republican Party.
And by the way, I find it hysterically funny that the men in this party don’t like how Sexism feels. You would think it would cure them, but nope. What do you expect from a guy who actually let’s someone take a photo of himself looking like this?
Hey Gordy! Scuse me, “G Man”. Eat shit and die!

"This is not culture. This is not custom. This is criminal."
The scary thought is that’s probably a thong.
Oh God!
Please tell me that you photoshopped that pic. If not, it’s one more reason to hate this jerk.
More seriously, it is people like him, Rush, Bill-O and a host of others that make it difficult for myself and any others who may have some legit concerns about Sotomayor to have any kind of conversation about her appointment.
At this time, I think her nomination was primarily a brilliant political move by BHO, but we, the people, might have to endure the lifetime appointment of someone who may not be impartial enough to sit on the SCOTUS.
O.M.G.
I just went blind!!
Next time send out a warning!!!!!
All this before I’ve had my coffee.
I think I may have to take a break from here for a while.
How will enduring a lifetime appointment of yet another subjective SCOTUS look any different than the lifetime ones we already have?
SCOTUS has nothing to do with anything but politics. It’s all a game. There is nothing impartial about them. Just witness how all the important votes go and you can see that. Impartiality doesn’t exist on SCOTUS. I don’t know if it ever did, but it sure doesn’t now.
It’s all a game to these people. The only thing that matters is partiality on your side. We have been pretending to be a Democracy with a Constitution for decades. What the founding fathers founded disappeared long ago.
Sorry to see you go P4. But you aren’t in charge of the republican party and this was just beyond the pale. When a pig has to talk about my periods, I draw the line.
I’ve concluded that if women don’t push back, we are soon all dead. And I’m not going quietly.
And I shall miss you.
Very much.
That’s what I said!
“How will enduring a lifetime appointment of yet another subjective SCOTUS look any different than the lifetime ones we already have?’
Granted, I would not fare well in a room full of ultra-conservative white guys, but I would fare just as badly in a room full of people who espouse what the right is trying to get us to believe about Sotomayor.
The SCOTUS is soon going to have to decide issues like gay marriage and other social issues that will effect all of us. Lifetime appointments to what amounts to a room full of extremists playing “gotcha” with each other isn’t exactly the answer.
If it were up to me, I would take away the lifetime appointments. That would help to get appointments that had something to do with our rights rather than political prowess
Anthony, I think i initially, the lifetime appointments were there so that they didn’t have to listen to politicians to keep their jobs. Somewhere along the line, people began to test social issues. I think that started when we inferior people, such as women, started saying, Hey Wait A Minute! I want to vote! Damn us. Next came Roe v Wade. Then gay and lesbian issues, and suddenly the appointments became tests of personal feelings. Golly, we were supposed to all shut up or something. Then everything would have been jussssssst fine.
I don’t even know what her views are on a lot of things either, Anthony. I just know that she will be confirmed. Just like Roberts was confirmed. It’s all a Kabuki dance. First you smear, then you confirm. But first you count votes.
You know what the REAL Problem is? No TERM LIMITS in CONGRESS!
And CONGRESS gets to vote on that??????? That should be put on referendum in all the states. These pigs should be bypassed. They are only taking care of themselves.
This isn’t the last straw or anything, but I’ve come to the point where every anti-Obama group seems to be fracturing. G. Gordon Liddy isn’t exactly a representitive of the Republican Party. Who cares what he has to say?
I still stand by my previous assertion that Obama has done nothing right since November (or earlier). Not one thing. Not a legislative decision, not a court appointment, not an international decision.
Damn Axelod psy-ops have done it again. Sotomayor has put a crack right in the middle of the two idologies that were both (separately) working against him. Yay for evil.
I don’t know if that flag IS photoshopped Anthony. No matter. He still should eat shit and die for that remark. The basest most classless thing you can say to women.
P4, you don’t have to convince me that Obama has done nothing right, but some of the people driving your party are simply inexcusable facsimiles of human beings. How on earth do you expect them to find more members for their rolls by not putting a stop to some of what is going on?I swear to you, some of these creeps are TRYING to destroy the Republican party.
I know you know this about me, P4: NOBODY gets a free pass when it comes to these two parties. I hate them both. When is one of them going to convince me they are worth more than the powder to blow them up with?
And every appointment of late to the SCOTUS has put a fracture in the middle of two ideologies. We have a SCOTUS of extremists!
I adore you P4, but you just aren’t in charge. Maybe guys like you need to start.
And CONGRESS gets to vote on that??????? That should be put on referendum in all the states. These pigs should be bypassed. They are only taking care of themselves.

“two-thirds of the legislatures of the States can call a Constitutional Convention to consider one or more amendments. This second method has never been used, and it is unclear exactly how, in practice, such a Constitutional Convention would work.”
How the hell did someone get that photo of me to put Liddy’s head on?
I’m contacting http://www.whocanisue.com
The left is pushing this story to say, “See! The Republicans are really the misogynists!!!” And they’re hoping we’ll forget the treatment of Hillary and Sarah. I’m not falling for it. GG Liddy should not have a forum to speak about anything, he’s a psychopath.
DE that’s you? I figured it was Mark Spitz.
He said it, and it serves him right. Liddy has been a right wing mouthpiece for decades. He said it and if they are milking it, the party has nobody to blame but themselves. And yes he’s a psychopath. And Rush is a megalo or as a miminum a narcissist just like Obama. And Newt is beginning to remind us all what happens to him when he gets power. It’s going right to his head. Again. These are people who think they don’t need to expand their 22 percent. Fine. They are doing a great job of making sure they don’t.
To be fair, we’ve heard this scut from BOTH PARTIES. And from other women. Remember the Democrats who skewered Palin for not being able to be an effective VP due to having 5 children, one being Down’s Syndrome, and should be “staying at home” with them(amongst other things)??
No, this stupid shit never ends. G. Gordon Liddy was, is, and always will be a POS. Let’s face it, G. Gordon isn’t really speaking for the Republican Party, he’s speaking for the Old Boy’s Party. And they come in both red and blue.
I do have to add, though……ack. The redwhiteandblue banana hammock. My eyes. They burn.
I nearly went blind when I saw it. A
Ewww…I don’t consider him the face of the Rep party, tho….Maybe another part….Oh, kill me now. (Maybe he stuffs.)
Maybe I am a lone voice in this, but just because he said something lame does not mean what she said was OK…that was lame, too… I was sort of embarrassed by it as a woman…As I said before, women joke about being the superior race and so on, but jokingly. I joke about it–and I still work with and speak to and have men as friends. Good grief. Just because she will be confirmed does not mean, to me at least, that we should not raise these things.
Star, I see it that way too, so maybe there are two of us at least.
Anyway, the idea that Liddy is a spokeperson, formally or otherwise of the Republican party is completely ridiculous. When history looks back at the wrong turn we took it will be things like these sweeping stereotypes used to diminish millions that will be hilarious if not so tragic.. Howard Zinn would be proud.
That photo…..
Thank you for making me laugh, Upp.
OMG.
he better wish she isn’t getting hot flashes if I were him.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
it can’t get too much worse can it?
from all these men on both sides.
idiots.
idiots running things.
Irlandese you are absolutely correct about Liddy and the rest and yes he has always been a POS. He speaks to the far right cliff hangers. The left has their fair share of far left cliff hangers that are not representative of the Democratic Party any more than Liddy and his ilk are of the Republican party. The extremes have a solid hold on both parties squeezing out the voices of the centrist.
Uppity you are so correct about the Supreme Court as much as everything changes everything stays the same. We have a court of extremists, the whole impartial, justice is blind thing flew out the window long ago, if it ever really existed. I don’t think this type of idealogical court is what the founding fathers had in mind. I think they wanted the best and the brightest legal minds on the bench. Proven, scholarly, objective justices and I think the lifetime appointments were to keep those justices free from the political winds and to provide the ultimate check and balance to our system. But hell we weren’t there, we don’t really know it may have always been this way….to the victor go the spoils!
I used to see the occasional justice wandering around Cleveland Park in DC–hard to think of them as extremists, or even as the best and brightest…They got the job, they kept the job, they read a lot, I dont know. This sounds dumb on my part. Everyone has a story–why is the story anything? Aren’t they supposed to look at precedents…know the details…or look them up. I would not be into a justice who did things just because they felt right or seemed more fair. That is something I would do! They should not.
Hey everybody look. Dick “suck my toes” Morris just figured out that Hillary’s getting screwed by barry.
Toes stuck up for Hillary–he must have had to stick his finger down his throad after. Plus–we all know this, Dickie.
Plus–don’t hit me–if we are basing Supreme Court decisions on feelings born of life experiences, couldn’t PMS enter in? Just asking.
I can’t even dignify that with an answer.
Oh don’t worry about toes, he enjoys making the Clintons look small. Just because he made an ass of his perverted self and they didn’t think keeping him around was a great idea after that. Dick Morris would be selling hot dogs if it weren’t for the Clintons.
“Dick Morris would be selling hot dogs if it weren’t for the Clintons.”
LOL! but who knows what he would be doing with the inventory.
Oh great, now I have to cross hot dogs off my list….and just when BBQ season is upon us!
Just don’t get them from Dairy Queen. Because that’s where he would be working.
Barack should be very grateful for the Clintons. If it weren’t for them he wouldn’t have a staff.
Seriously, i sometimes wonder if the clintons are laughing their asses off while their old staff makes Obama look like a jerk.
Making barry look like a jerk is the easiest job on earth, that’s why barry is so good at it himself.
OMG really first thing in the morning….
YUK! Gross. Disgusting. Revolting. That would turn me gay if I wasn’t already!
Both parties are bogus. Don’t fool yourself. Our political system is a total scam and both sides are in bed with each other.
What’s with all this crap all over the news today about Brobama’s white grandfather being in the military. Some new propaganda campaign to make him whiter? I don’t get what they’re up to…
“You know what the REAL Problem is? No TERM LIMITS in CONGRESS!
Not only do I agree, but think that term limits should apply to every job on the hill, right down to the the file clerks. Too much time makes for too much opportunity to get something shady going (and perpetuated)
What concerns me most about people like Liddy (and his left wing counterparts) is that they get to dictate the tone (thanks to the willing compliance of the MSM for each side).
I don’t like the way Sotomayor handled the Ricci case (her apologists insist that ‘going along with the crowd’ is a sign of team spirit). So, when Olson and Boies bring prop 8 to the SCOTUS, what’s going to stop lunatics like Scalia and friends from stalemating the effort?
Equal and opposite forces often cause stalemate. I think we need much more female energy in the SC, but Barry-boy could’ve found someone less controversial and equally (if not moreso) qualified to nominate.
And I agree, they’re all in it together. This “Good Cop/Bad Cop shit is so transparent that I’m beginning to get insulted. At least they could try to make it look like they’ve gone through some trouble while they’re shooting us through the breeze…..
Anthony, she is highly qualified and has more bench experience than any of the other people on that court had when they were picked. It also wouldn’t matter who Obama picked anymore than it mattered who Bush picked. The opposite side tries to tank the person. It’s what they have been doing back since Bork as far as I can remember. One side wants all SCOTUS’ to have THEIR PERSONAL philosphy and make “Decisions” using it. Therefore, unless one side picks a candidate that only agrees with the other side, there will always be mud slinging. She will be overtuned on Ricci, I would bet on it. And Roberts got a decision overturned just before he took the bench too. They are all tained, they are all political ideologists, and they all pretend they are objective. They are not. They are politically extreme implementers hiding under robes.
and their salaries are paid for by our tax dollars. Disgusting
I feel like pulling up stakes and getting the HELL out of this country BEFORE it goes communist.
I think getting out is a wise idea. A lot of work to research residency requirements in country of choice. Costa Rica not resident friendly. Spain a little better. Argentina too – cost of living VERY low. Not sure about Italy. At some point it will be hard to get out.
Need $$$ unless you specialize in something like teaching english to foreigners…big market for that all over the world but must be TEFL certified.
Am definitely leaving if I can figure it out….cannot live in peace with these dangerous nutjobs in charge. The American people are more aware than you think. Stores can’t keep ammunition in stock. The minute it comes in, it immediately sells out…..
help..i think iv.e gone blind.
Again, I may be alone in this, but this does not apply to me:
One side wants all SCOTUS’ to have THEIR PERSONAL philosphy and make “Decisions” using it.
I can’t do every job–this is why we hire these people. I want people who are trained in the law and will know how to interpret precedents and apply the constitution.
I don’t care how attuned people are to adversity, how their individual experience pertains (most people have not encountered too much adversity or will have encountered diff kinds), or how they think about fair versus nonfair. The Supreme Court is supposed to juggle all the precedents and try to align them with what the founding fathers stated. To me, anyhow.
Yes, that was frightening. It is enough to make you take up chain smoking. REALLY!
Well, I’m a Republican, & I’ve never considered Liddy to my mouth- or any other bodily orifice-piece. I appreciate that I have different philosophies on numerous points than the blog owner, & we’re not going to agree on the Sotomayor nomination.
However, methinks the lady doth protest too much. This post is disingenuousness to the Letterman level. You find the whackiest whack-a-dos & label them as representing the mainstream position of your opponents. People I consider to be mainstream GOP spokespeople, such as the National Review , make concerted efforts to eschew sophomoric ad hominem attacks & focus on judicial philosophy….but most of the people on the NRO don’t walk around in speedos, so it’s no fun goofing on them.
None of our political parties have official excommunication policies, so there will always be weirdos spouting off weirdness in every party.
I don’t believe in censorhsip either, which, presumably, is a point of agreement with people on this blog. Liddy, Limbaugh, Beck et al are all free to say whatever they please & I’m allowed to express either agreement or disagreement in a case by case basis. I don’t appreciate being stereotyped & prejudged based on the goofball comments made by some miscellaneous whack jobs for whom I haven’t even voted to represent me. Individual registered Democrats have spouted off crazy weirdo things over the years & I don’t hold that against every single member of the Democratic party.
I tried to suppress my snark & be as respectful as possible, but I was extremely irked that you’re trying to throw me into the same boat as Liddy.
I don’t thinkl Liddy speaks for the Reps and not for me–same for Limbaugh. And while I may consider Gingrich pretty smart and thoughtful, I don’t think he can make a comeback and was prob a dick to his wife. I voted Rep for the first time last time last time, but am not really sure I am a Rep. But I do think another party is our only hope to get rid of this latest crew, which I predict will become worse and worse as they meet little opposition and will eventually take over everything! So–I am betwixt and between–and not necessarily agreeing with anbybody on anything. One of my little asides was deemed not worthy of an answer–it’s OK, my skin is pretty thick.
Liddy’s remarks are as inexcusable as any Imus made for the same reason; he has a platform from which to spew. He put that out there because he thought it was worth saying. Had he been asked a question, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. Okay, it would have been as bad. But making an indefensible statement, without provocation, that can be used as a weapon by either side, is irresponsible, and makes anybody, even marginally associated with him, look bad.
Liddy is a sinister character who emphasizes and capitalizes on his ominous mien. I am positive that there are women -bashing troglodytes aplenty will find his comment not only amusing but a legitimate reason to reject Sotomayor.
None of that makes him a spokesperson for the Republican Party. It does emphasize that he’s a wannabe who made it only as far as prison.
If only we could collect $5 for every fool’s foollish comments, 2008-2009 would make us rich.
Maybe Australia if your not too old…. and they speak English with a funny twang like me…..
No worries learning a different language just the need to use the correct words.
e.g
garbage = rubbish
trunk = boot
simple stuff like that
Adagio, Liddy has a hell of a lot more clout than you do. People LISTEN to hiim. Not all, but enough. I will call it out when I see sexism and I don’t care which party does it. these are people who keep people like me away. Amy Siskind was right when we said we must call people on these things even if its against a woman we dont’ like. Like calling Nancy Pelosi Pussy Galore. I am working on a piece about that because my instinct in response is “she didn’t help Hillary”. That’s wrong. Because when we ignore, we perpetuate. I will fight what he said about Sotomayer just as I would fight it against Hillary or Sarah. It’s all the same. Women are being taken for a ride by two parties and I don’t even bother distinguising between them any longer when they do these things. It’s just plain unacceptable and there are plenty of people who got a great chuckle out of what Liddy said. Many of them are in positions of power and you are not, and neither am I. EVERY woman should be offended by this crap no matter which party does it.
Mary, collecting five bucks for every sexist pig thing we have endured in the past two years only serves to prove to us that it is time to no longer tolerate this crap from anybody and certainly not from either party.
I don’t excuse anyone on this blog. I see what’s there and both of these parties make me sick. Cinie understands the point. You are marginally associated with him and you look bad. And plenty of politicans hail him as a friend.
Star, I am assuming you are referring to your PMS question. that’s all I can say about that.
Sorry Star, I wasn’t very clear. By “side” I meant elected officials.
Thank you Nobody, that’s a huge part of my point. Two hijacked parties and i am not interested in either of these extremes–and they definitely control two parties. Furthermore, they are damaging the rights of women. Both of them. With glee.
Can’t wait till Bullmoose posts and slaps me around. lol.
I didn’t see you as snarky at all. Your feelings were hurt. But this is not about you because you don’t control a party. If you did, I might be happier. But your party is controlled by extremists and that is why your party cannot expand its base. My party is controlled by extremists and they have conned other people into making a larger base. Mostly children. In either case, I am not voting for either extreme. Ever. I will remain a Democrat because I am just dying to vote against these neo liberal fascists in primaries.
“Mary, collecting five bucks for every sexist pig thing we have endured in the past two years only serves to prove to us that it is time to no longer tolerate this crap from anybody and certainly not from either party.”
And would a third party be any beter, even a Woman’s Party? At present, the dirty wash simply won’t come clean. It’s too filthy.
Mary a third party is nothing more than a fantasy. The two parites will never let it happen. They have the ability to raise the money to make sure it never happens. They also take chances apiece paying off notable perpetual third party candidates. This is why Independents now outnumber both parties for the first time in history. Like I said I am saying a D to vote in primaries, for spite. Sooner or later, sensible people will have to emerge from somewhere and I will vote fo rthem. But from now on, i am an Indpendent in my mind and I look upon the two parties with jaundiced eye.
Just, Australia is very expensive.
Yes we need to send them all over there (goverment etc) and we can bring the country back to The People for The People…
after all that is where we use to send fellons !
Geeze, all this fighting makes me hungry.
We sent felons to Australia?
LOL Uppity here want crackers with natural honey YUM! and glass of wine O O O (_)
3 crackers and wine 4 u lol
Sorry the Brits use to send all the criminals off to Australia…
K I’ll take the crackers but not honey and wine. I kin haz cheeze?
Now that you are the only one talking to me.
Hey, hey Uppity! JustMe is not the only one talking to you! All I can offer is a delicious slice of pie! Do wine and pie go together?
Cheese on it’s way
^ ^ ^ 3 wedges LOL
Enjoy~~
imustprotest, LOL
Of course wine swills anything down ….
Ok that’s two. No pie doesn’t go with wine but I could eat the pie after I have my wine and cheese.
I’m still waiting for Bullmoose….you got me all curious now….[thumbs twittling..]
Should we get out the hook?
Technically Just Me the Brits sent felons and anyone they found objectionable here first. After we became a sovereign nation, then they started sending their malcontents to Australia.
I made a similar comment to yours not too long ago on a blog that several Australians post on. Boy did they set me straight in a hurry about the lesser known history of the US, complete with lots of links to back themselves up. They are very touchy about the whole felon ancestor thing, who knew!
So if any of you do decide to immigrate to Australia fair warning. Also, they won’t accept you unless you have a job skill that’s needed or at least that’s how it used to be. You must also get used to lots of chicken and lamb. It is very expensive there, lots of snakes, oh and the word root means something completely different.
I say we just find Uppity’s new South Dakota boyfriend and have him buy us all an island!
Uppity, you are one helluva person, and I salute you!
Women have become the bullseye on the dart board thanks to the open season on gender politics exhibited during the primaries and onward. I wonder how men would feel if the media started making comments about their sperm count, or their prostate problems, or even their male menopausal behavior and the need for Viagara?
Not gonna happen, because the outrage and blowback would be extreme, yet when anyone mentions PMS, even women nod their head and indicate that it’s a consideration. BULLOCKS. The statistics show that more males kill than females, that males are more volatile, yet some give credence to these bleeding awful comments by a man who was convicted of nefarious political/ethical behavior? Why do the news organisations even approach him, much less give him a platform to spew his credo? He’s a slug and deserves to be treated as such..
Please the MSM eats people like Liddy up with a spoon. They love all the cliff hangers on both sides, it makes good TV. Having thoughtful, intelligent debate is boring, the MSM is only concerned with ratings…..hence all the tabloid journalism. If we really had ethical journalist and honest to goodness news media in this country all the extremist of both parties would have been marginalized a long time ago.
OR maybe there is a secret society that controls everything and this is all a part of the grand plan….hell I don’t know anymore!
I think there are things in Sotomayor’s judicial record that some people have honest disagreements with. I have issues with the firefighter decision and I’m entitled to my opinion not that anybody gives a shit what I think! But one issue does not a career make and I know that. There are issues that deserve to be aired and discussed though. But they won’t be it will just be all this stupid bullshit, and then she will be confirmed the votes are there. All of this is just noise….but why all the noise to drown out what???? Things that make you go hmmmm.
Nobody Special:
“OR maybe there is a secret society that controls everything and this is all a part of the grand plan”

I’m generally against burning the flag, but when I saw that photo my thoughts turned to lighter fluid….lots and lots of it.
ROFLMAO…Jay!
You can come out of time out for uttering President Biden now….you’ve redeemed yourself!
Anthony I was referring to the Bilderberg Group theory.
Such a waste of good pie. Years ago a guy named Aron Kay, “pied” famous, or infamous people….
….. Mr. Kay, who over several decades became renowned for his pie-throwing antics. He has thrown pies at the conservative author William F. Buckley, the former national security adviser McGeorge Bundy, Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan of New York, the conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly, the Nixon Watergate operatives G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt….
hmm pied GG LIddy?…too bad there’s no youtubes of that event, (I checked!)
Um, did they just SEND the felons to Australia or did they send them to prisons there?
Jay I am so glad you are back. I am also glad I harassed you now and then to COME back since here you are coming to my rescue. I read the web site on your health program. I was eating doritos while I was reading it though
jk.
And HT, thank you sweetie. I feel like I have to buy you a present now or something. Testosterone eruptions don’t count because men have them. Besides most of those old farts in congress probably wear a patch.
Yup, Nobody, it’s all noise. Nothing more. These appointments are always a done deal after the Dance.
imust, that Mr. Kay ruined thousands of dollars in silk suits then. but no matter, somehow, the government paid for them. Somehow, some way. Except for Moynahan’s suit. That one was probably tweed with leather elbow patches.
I just threw up in my mouth.
BTW, in case you were curious about Aron Kay, the Yippie Pie Man, and what he’s doing lately…..I did uncover this youtube vid of him protesting John McCain, not with a pie, but a blow up bat! Yes, he was hammering a photo of McCain in protest…..seems he’s eaten all his pies…..
Liddy proves once again that it’s the most repulsive males who make the most offensively sexist comments. Must be a law of nature.
Dear UW, thanks once again for sticking up for women.
“Seriously, i sometimes wonder if the clintons are laughing their asses off while their old staff makes Obama look like a jerk.”
UW,
in this department obama doesn’t need any help. But in the unlikely event that the need should arise, Biden and Gibbs are always available.
Nobody Special,
I doubt I will be moving… I only post here and NQ so I wonder when I mentioned Australia before I don’t remember…. those Brits are odd folk….
Re: Aron Kay,
In case you weren’t sure of the meaning of the Yiddish word “shlub,” or “zhlub”–regradez vous.
Somebody Special,
maybe this is the “noise” you mentioned,
The furor surrounding the fuhrer’s Court nominee provides distraction from the anti-American remarks he is scheduled to make in Europe on D Day, his fast tracking of socialized medicine, and any other underhanded o-filth you can name..
Mary I do believe you have hit the nail on the head my dear, it’s the any other underhanded o-filth I’m wondering about. Just waiting to find out what it is.
Just Me, no you didn’t make the comment about Australia I did on a cancer blog.
We actually seriously looked into moving to Australia once, but didn’t. So serious we actually had all the immigration paperwork, DH was considering an offer from their government, but we couldn’t get a guarantee on our location. Trust me they have their own set of problems, for one they are woefully behind the US in the area of women’s rights. I could go on, the point is, a perfect place doesn’t exist.
The A-hole interviewer totally ignored his sexist comment and blew right over it.
You know G-Lid thinks he’s lookin’ GOOD in that little skimpy outfit…a treat for all his home-boys….(read into this what you will)
Thanks, UQ for letting me know she’s been absconded with. Which one tickled your fancy? The French Limestone or the drawing?
oops1
I meant UW
Nobody Special,
Ohhhhh I was a little confused glad u put me straight lol
Yes I am sure they have there own set of problems. Actually a friend of mine in the UK her daughter went to Australia and was home in less than 12months she was so unhappy and she said they treated them awful.
Maybe you made a wise choice…..
I remember moving here to the States it’s a huge step, however I will say it was made easier by some wonderful people here in America. My family have been so blessed my AMERICAN friends and family are amazing~~
What pisses me off about this is why is he getting any press? Did he call this reporter and say he was going to talk about her periods? Did the reporter’s boss say go out and find someone that is a Republican with a big mouth and see if he’ll say something stupid? The press is not paying any attention to any Republican that is doing anything right, or any Democrats asking questions either. Did you all see the Tennessee representative asking Al Gore if he would profit from any of this legislation anywhere on the news? We have to go find stories about stupid statements said by the people in power right now. But Pravda is happy to name this guy as a Republican. He may be. And his stupid sexist comment deserves to be called out. But he does not represent me.
Right now I want to vote them all out. I am very sincere in that. When I saw the video of them laughing after they HIRED the speedreader to mock what we complained about, I decided they need to get out. Uppity, I believe you said once that Congress was our biggest threat to national security. That is the truth.
Sotomayor will be confirmed. But that doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be questioned. But I will have trouble with anyone Obama chooses, because of his prerequisite “empathy”. WTH is empathy to Barack Obama? Acorn has empathy, in his eyes.
LOL……I always come in at the end of a lively discussion!
GA. he’s getting press because the left of left are making SURE he gets press. The best tool they have are the far right. They are playing right into their hands. All they have to do is sit and wait for one of them to say something stupid, something mean, something that offends women, or hispanics or blacks and then get the press to run with it. Sitting ducks, they are, because they can’t help themselves.
Modeled after 1970s corporate America, the policial system is now designed so that it doesn’t matter how bad you really are so long as you can make your opposition look WORSE. The ironic part is I think the far right mastered all of this first and far left ‘absorbed’ the skill by watching. They felt the Republicans cheated in 2000 so they cheated in 2008. They absorbed the skills. In fact, they not only absorbed it all but they used it on Their Own as WELL as the opposition. Brilliant really, if you ignore the fact that it’s downright evil. Really, really evil.
Anthony, twas your half blind justtice lady that I stole. Brilliant. And so correct.
Ga, re: empathy….same as the other side. They expect empathy for their beliefs as well, only they were never dumb enough to come right out and say it like Obama did. Like I said, depending on who is in power, SCOTUS appointees are selected based on empathy for their causes. It’s so obvious it couldn’t be more clear if they hit us all on the head with a bat.
Feel free to pass her around like a pack of Newports in a maximum security prison. I think it will do her some good.
I never saw Liddy’s comments anyplace but here. He does not speak for the Republicans unless people who oppose Obama allow Obamorons to set the terms of every debate. Yes, it was “sexist” to suggest the judge might “feel” or “react” differently because of a biological factor. It was sexist to say Sarah Palin was a whore or bad mom bec she was a good-looking governor or whatever they said. I am not of the school, though, that bec she will be confirmed, we should not discuss it or cannot say what we think or are starting to think. She will probably do fine and we will forget about her in a month. I think, and I have said this, that her job is to hire a staff who can cover all the precedents and write well (they don’t do all this themselves, you know) and not interject her experiences as a woman, a Latina, a Mom, a wife, a grocery shopper, a scholarship earner, or anything else to any great degree.
well then it must not have really happened. I must have made the whole thing up. Next time I will wait and follow someone else.
It wasn’t at Riverdaughter’s either. She only gets about five thousand more hits a day than I do. Dang I gotta stop eating that cheese at night.
Obviously some notable neocon pig talking about a professional woman’s periods is not offensive. I guess I should take it all back.

No, you didn’t make it up–that wasn’t my point. My point was he isn’t being lauded everyplace as a Republican spokesman with this–at least not that I can see. I am only covering a few papers, Fox, and some sites, so could be wrong. Yes, what he said was offensively personal aimed at a woman…but saying women should or would decide cases based on their “story” or personal background to me is also offensive. I may be the only one who thinks this….I’ll just shut up for awhile. I prob do post too much
Hell no you don’t. You ain’t shutting up. I will get the hook.
I don’t think background or past things is unused on any SCOTUS candidate. It’s the only way they can determine if the candidate meets their personal needs. congress I mean. Like I say and I still maintain, they are appointments based on political ideology of the president at the time. That’s why I don’t think SCOTUS is objective and never was, probably.
UW, don’t you dare take it back! I rely on you to provide information that other sources glide over or ignore. I don’t really give a good gosh darned whether it was a repub or a demo, it is a reprehensible, sexist remark that should never have seen the light of day, and frankly probably wouldn’t have if the O’s supporters hadn’t made sexism and mysogny acceptable discourse over the last year.
Liddy is a cretin, and I have wondered many times why he is given a soap box from which to spew his views. He may not be the voice of the repubs, but the party powerful certainly aren’t lining up to decry his views or divorce themselves from his tainted history….. same as the democrat party are perfectly comfortable with Favreau and his ilk. As you have often written, both parties are so overrun with individuals who are toxic, that the saner elements get lost in the garbage..
Diff subj? I had the thought that everything we are trying to do with what his name or against him is probably academic as “the world turns.” The day of the white man may be coming to an end, and even of the African, with the Chinese and Indians edging toward ascendancy. We think big changes are coming here! I read a book (well, listened to) by Aravind Adiga, which I recommend. It’s called The White Tiger. It’s a first person account by an Indian villager (in the form of a letter to the Chinese premier who is soon to visit India) who becomes a driver for a rich man in Delhi. It’s his daily routine, his thoughts, his employer’s behavior and his dawning realization that he will be a servant to a master forever…unless…
He announces pretty soon in the story what that “unless” involves, but you need to let him get to it. He ends up a rich man, owner of startup that services those Indian call centers we all love so much. Does he shrug off his “deed”? No–but he plunges on into history anyway. Food for thought. Should I say, curry for thought?
I know I’m probably the only person on earth who will say this……but I don’t like curry.
…..gulp.
Good analogy HT. Cardboard humper gets away with it. Guilt by association.
but I don’t like curry.
Better learn to love it, missy!!! (Kidding)
I will add that to my reading stack for the summer, Star. Thanks!
I do think we are at a defining point in history. And that it will be dramatic. History does repeat itself. Obama might be right about this being a defining point after all……but he is such a megalomaniac, that he believes he doesn’t have to pay attention to history, he can do it his own way. Or he only sees the “great” part of the history of great men and women, without the work and struggle and sacrifices they made to be considered great.
My kids are history buffs and are completely amazed by the lack of consideration of history (real history, not just what they have learned in their texts) by this president and administration.
“cardboard humper”…….LOL…….I will now think those words each and every time I hear Obama give a speech!
Lest we forget the MSM?? The media is giving the right wing nutballs a forum, they are framing this. Remember, the MSM wants to “help” Obama (tweety/tingly anyone?) and what better way than to throw the likes of Rush and Liddy in our faces everyday. It makes it seem as if the GOP has gone so far right they fell right off the planet, but in reality (not a concept MSM deals with) moderate Republicans are gaining ground, especially in Governor races. Crist in Florida, McConnell in VA, and Christy in NJ.
You know, I saw a man who looked JUST LIKE HIM enough it could have been him, wearing a Speedo, at a LV pool, about 5 years ago. I just couldn’t help wondering, “is that a squirrel in your pants?”
Irlandese 1126 and UW 853 on the banana hammock, it is a falsie.
I suppose what initially annoyed me & presumably Palin4Prez is that it appeared the Obamazombies got hold of UW & ate her brains since this post illustrates their standard operating procedure of logical fallacy false choices between Barack “the only thing standing between you & the pitchforks” Obama versus Rush “the Hutt” Limbaugh. I believe there are other options other than Obots to one extreme & ditto heads on the other. The post felt like the last scene in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”
