Wislon Wins?
From Time:
The controversy over Republican Rep. Joe Wilson’s shouting out “You Lie!” at the President over his claim that illegal immigrants wouldn’t benefit from health-care reform apparently sparked some reconsideration of the relevant language. “We really thought we’d resolved this question of people who are here illegally, but as we reflected on the President’s speech last night we wanted to go back and drill down again,” said Senator Kent Conrad, one of the Democrats in the talks after a meeting Thursday morning. Baucus later that afternoon said the group would put in a proof of citizenship requirement to participate in the new health exchange — a move likely to inflame the left.

Obama, Dems, and liberal blogs are like a 24/7 comedy channel with no commercials and no interruptions.
No, I’m Spartacus!
dennis, you just can’t help embarrassing yourself, can you?
Schmidt?
Palin “lies”, Dems change the bill.
Glenn Beck “lies”, Van Jones resigns.
Wilson “lies”, Dems change the bill again, within less than two days.
Remind me again who the adults are….someone, please.
The party that isn’t throwing teabags at the White House are the grownups.
Dennis, I do like it when, all the talking heads, and the White House spokes hole, declare that Palin is wrong, then announce like peacocks, that they removed the non-existent provision. That is why I like politics, endlessly entertaining.
That’d be an awfully long throw for a teabag, my friend, all the way from Pennsy. Ave. They aren’t very aerodynamic.
And yet, during their last teabag day, one of them tried it and forced a lockdown of Lafayette park.
This afternoon, Conrad clarified matters.
Palin “lies”, Dems change the bill.
Glenn Beck “lies”, Van Jones resigns.
Wilson “lies”, Dems change the bill again, within less than two days.
Remind me again who the adults are….someone, please.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the people throwing the tantrums.
Really? I doubt if even Big Ben himself could throw one more than ten yards, which if he’s lucky might hit the landscaping crew if they just happened to be close enough to the street.
Hey, btw, Wilson’s having a big day aside from the Dems’ admission that he was right.
700 G’s
I think most of that was pre-Dem cave-in and pre- Nancy Pelosi martyrization, too, so who knows what the final tally will be.
Yes, I think the operative metaphor is:
Dennis and his teabag pals: insufferable bawling brats
Democrats: overindulgent parents who think, maybe if just I let him have one more tootsie roll he’ll just go to sleep
Wil-burrr, nice pic, dude. Nice to see one of you guys with a sense of humor.
Is that your daughter, too?
“Palin “lies”, Dems change the bill.
Glenn Beck “lies”, Van Jones resigns.
Wilson “lies”, Dems change the bill again, within less than two days.”
…ahem
Bush “lies”, Dems get the senate, then the whitehouse.
Who are the adults? Schmidt?
Nice to see one of you guys with a sense of humor.
We all have a sense of humor, Dennis. Why else do you thing we keep talking to you?
Maybe you should lighten up and get your own pic. May I suggest this one?
And fun’s fun, Dennis, but kindly keep the kids out of it, okay?
Addison Graves Wilson’s hatred of blacks is rivaled only by Mark Fuhrman “smear” to have a biracial child, defending the Confederate flag, shouting at the only black president in the history of our country. White wingers love him
Schmidt?
DOW 9,600?
Little Dennis? Little Dennis?
Jaim, you made all of three comments on the Schmidt thread.
All three were directed at me, and not one had anything at all to do with Schmidt.
So Schmidt yourself, hypocrite. Including this thread.
It’s rare that you’re ever on topic and not directing your anger at someone posting here. Very rare.
Then when I’m not here posting, you ask where I am. This from a 30 year old brat kid who claims he left the USA to explore new opportunities. 30 years old and you live alone in a small apartment in Korea hanging out on a computer complaining about conservatives and doing a job that Koreans hold no respect at all for what you do.
Sounds like great opportunities.
I’d probably be frustrated too. I know for sure I would’ve been at 30 years old in that situation.
Joe Wilson, Jaim?
‘Hey, btw, Wilson’s having a big day aside from the Dems’ admission that he was right.’
Horseshit.
What part is horseshit, funky, not the $700 grand he’s raised and not the Dems caving.
Again.
Uh oh, looks like rising nasdaq and rising polls for Obama and healthcare reform have Dennis in a testy mood!
I think Michael Savage is on right now, Dennis. Flip on the radio and let the soothing wave of hate wash over you.
Yea, I will admit it, I had to indulge my employees and send a check to Wilson, a little guilty pleasure that is non-fattening.
Oh and did I tell you my company has invented the first stealth tea bag. Outside of keith olbermann’s college roommate.
In a great mood, Wilbur. I like the rising Nasdaq, even though I’m skeptical how long it stays here with the lousy unemployment situation and even worse outlook, and I would like to see health care reform. Not sure what rising polls you’re talking about, though, unless it’s some Daily Kos poll that I’m not aware of that gives you some sense that it was a good week for you. And I wasn’t bringing in your kids with any bad intentions on the other thread when I asked if that pic was a real one of your daughter and the horse. I would’ve thought that was cool.
Also Wilbur,
SchmidtJoe Wilson?Dennis, you provide me with endless amusement.
Honestly, thank you. Of all the cowardly little bitches I’ve ever had to deal with, you take the cake.
Schmidt?
Likewise, Jaim.
You have a good weekend doing whatever it is you do exploring new opportunities.
Joe Wilson?
Joe Wilson?
What about Joe Wilson, Dennis? Am I supposed to be impressed by the possibility that Conrad and Baucus may insert yet more needless verbiage into their version of the bill in a vain attempt to make shrieking pissants like Wilson stop saying hurtful things? Am I supposed to be impressed that dittoheads and Beck-bots everywhere are bestowing not only their hero worship but their dollars on the latest avatar of the oppressed white male ignoramus?
You tell me, Dennis: why is this news?
PS, Dennis, the pic is of Will-burrr and Mister Ed.
Actually, I’m off to a party at my boss’s house. Living abroad. Not having to deal with the consequences of the disaster that was the Bush presidency. Learning a new language. Enjoying my life and my job.
Life is very sweet. I don’t have to share oxygen with cowardly fuckwits like you, Dennis.
You know I never looked closely enough at the picture, that was one of my favorite shows while I was growing up, the odd thing in re-runs is the location, Sherman Oaks is no longer horse country. but i did manage to get the autographs, of the Beverly Hillbillies. Besides the Horse didn’t like my politics.
So Sayeth the Impaler!
Ahh yes, that is old Wilbur, isn’t it? Too small of a pic to tell at first blush.
As to Joe Wilson, and much like Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck, and I guess we can add Fox News with today’s cave-in on ACORN, you guys spend inordinate amounts of time and energy screaming to high heaven about these people, then your representatives go and and legitimize everything you were screaming against about them. Then afterwards you pretend that nothing’s wrong.
It’s truly amazing to witness it on here.
Well, Dennis, you go on believing that if it makes you feel better. I’d agree that it’s bad parenting to give the whiny-ass titty baby a tootsie roll, particularly if after the third or fourth tootsie roll the whiny-ass titty baby is still screaming. I suppose you might say that the tootsie roll in a certain sense “legitimizes” the screams of the whiny-ass titty baby.
Still, I’d rather be the overindulgent parent than the whiny-ass titty baby, whereas you, for some reason, seem to admire the whiny-ass titty baby.
Impaler: that’s more like it!
And in case you haven’t noticed, Baucus and Conrad, the chief tootsie-roll dispensers, are hardly my favorite congresscretins even if they do have a D after their names.
you guys spend inordinate amounts of time and energy screaming to high heaven about these people, then your representatives go and and legitimize everything you were screaming against about them
You lie!
(Actually, I could totally get used to this. Don’t have to bother thinking and there’s a lot less typing.)
Wilbur, Obama has a now very long list of people he’s thrown under the bus in which either he, his people or liberal bloggers tried to defend after it was brought to the public’s attention that someone or something was not what they were represented as. Two just yesterday in in the Census Bureau dumping ACORN, and I give tremendous credit to Oliver here for holding off any commentary whatsoever till EVERY piece of information is known, and the Senate Dems closing off the illegal immigrant loophole you guys claimed didn’t exist and called Joe Wilson a liar for saying it did. Three if you go back exactly one week with Van Jones’ resignation. Four going back to the rewrite of the end of life provision of the health care bill that Sarah Palin addressed on her Facebook page.
There are so many more; so many, in fact, that at some point even someone as reasonable as you would have to wonder if it wasn’t just bad parenting for giving the tootsie to your so-called WATB, but rather extremely bad politics on the part of Obama and the Dems he can’t seem to control for caving every time they are met with with the slightest bit of resistance. Either that, or they just know they were wrong but know the even their supportive media and unfailing liberal bloggers defending them won’t be enough when the truth comes out, which thankfully, it does.
Oh good lord, Dennis, I realize that the whole modus operandi of the right wing – ever since Obama sewed up the nomination – was “there’s not really much wrong with this guy so lets keep piling up molehills and eventually we may have ourselves a mountain.” So go ahead, keep piling up your little mounds of dirt, keep sweeking with blind glee everytime you dig up a worm or a centipede. While you and your WATB brethren are busy making mud pies the adults will be seeing what we can do to actually fix the various messes that 8 years of WATB stewardship has left for us.
Wilbur,
We’re just two partisans saying the same crap you see on every blog, left and right, but for you to claim that we ever determined “there’s not really much wrong with this guy” is about as laughable as the notion that you’d actually believe there wasn’t much wrong with him, either.
“…but for you to claim that we ever determined there’s not really much wrong with this guy”
Yes I realize that for some of you the fact that Obama didn’t wear a flag lapel pin was genuinely schocking.
Dennis, I’ve found an even better gravatar pic for you: keep digging little buddy.
Nice little tightrope act you guys play, Quibbie. It can’t be easy admitting how much you enjoy saying that while at the same time pretending to be outraged that someone else said it.
Kudos to you for trying, though. But like you said to Jay Tea, best to pick your standard and apply it consistently.
Just food for thought.
Nice little tightrope act you guyzzzzzzzz………
You call it a tightrope act, I call it teh funny.
Dennis, I did send you that link about Asperger’s and the inability to recognize irony, didn’t I?
Yea, I will admit it, I had to indulge my employees and send a check to Wilson, a little guilty pleasure that is non-fattening.
High school kids you sell meth to do not qualify as employees, sorry.
Kudos to you for trying, though. But like you said to Jay Tea, best to pick your standard and apply it consistently.
No, I didn’t pick the standard this time Dennis. Your people did.
…I’m seeing an ad for Blond Pundit’s column at the top of this page, Oliver. I’m sure it’s a random Google Ads error, but you may want to see about fixing it.
(I don’t use her name because she doesn’t need any more Google hits. I try not to feed trolls.)
Thad, you only see it because Google thinks you vist Republican sites, then it shows you what it thinks you want to see. I like her too, she is hot.
Jaim, you America hating fraud! When the North Koreans come pouring over that border, headed for Seoul, where will you be going? Joining the ROK Army? Or slinking your scurvy behind to the American Embassy to protect your craven ass, that has never worn his country’s uniform?
