The Crazy Has Only Just Begun.

Cesca, of HuffingtonPost, has summed it up nicely. I've taken the liberty to post it here.

Bob Cesca: Obama Unfairly Tainted by Crimes He Didn't Commit

We've seen this before: specious attempts to connect Barack Obama with corrupt or controversial figures in Chicago, followed, then, by a Republican and establishment media outcry for the president-elect to denounce and reject them. It appears as if in this post-Bushie universe, the president-elect doesn't have to be involved in corruption in order to be pegged as corrupt. Indeed, he can be entirely and vigorously declared to be absolutely corruption-free and still be tagged with the red letter "T" for "taint." This is what we can expect for the next four years. The crazy has only just begun.

Of course the talking headlice are going to "taint" Obama by talking endlessly about whether he was "tainted" by the scandal or not. As we know, they don't need facts; they've got speculation!

I see you got the link thingy down, Judith! Great! Now, when you have a quote from someone, you highlight the whole quote, and push the button up top that looks like quotation marks, and that will offset the quote so we know which part of the post is your words and which part is the person you're quoting. And you can bounce back and forth from "preview" to "hide preview" as many times as you want, so you can see how your changes look. Easy Peasy!

There! I went in and fixed it. You can fix stuff you've posted, too. When you're in the Create Post screen, you can see up top a tab called Edit Posts. When you click that, all the posts you've done should be listed. Click on the edit link, and there's your post. Usually, when a post is edited, you put a little note saying you edited, so people don't think you're trying to change facts later. You won't get busted here, but out in the wider internets, you have to be a bit more formal.

Iamcoyote, I am laughing, because the "linky thing" was purely dumb luck. All I did was cut and paste (remember I'm the Queen of Cut and Paste around here), so I cannot take the credit for being so clever. I need time to play around and learn what in the hell I'm doing.

OK, Coyote, tell us the truth...you secretly work for blogger, dontcha?

Your tutorials are excellent. Maybe you ought to apply, eh?

And Judith - I am extremly impressed by your posting. Jumping right in with both feet - awesome.

As for Cesca's article...I know, isn't it disgusting?!

What they want is the Senate seat. These fuckers want to taint this shit so bad so that the only option available is to hold a special election to replace Obama's seat and then the Pukes can buy it or steal it...they do not care about corruption, they just don't like corruption that does not benefit them.

Bastards.

Judith said...

Anjha, well expressed. These fuckers are not going to stop. We are entering into the 'Undermining Phase' of Obama. This Country is just about in ruins, and these MFs want to help hammer the final nail.

Yes I "jumped right in with both feet" because I know you. I was somewhat reluctant, but hell, you are the guys who have had my back for years. Thanks for the comment.

Gee, I hadn't even thought of that! I figured they were getting all hard because they figured they have the new Whitewater. And it's pissing them off that their guy has a negative approval rating and Obama's is 73%. They can't stand that crap. But yeah, they're also hoping to cast doubts on Obama's squeaky clean image, and the fookin' media's falling over themselves to help because, frankly, it's obvious they don't know anything about economics, and they're bored with pretending they do.

I caught the tail end of Tweety interviewing Bill Ayers - Tweety grilled him, and Ayers answered everything and agreed that it was a fucked up time and they did wrong things. After, they had two chicks come up - that total bitch Michele something or other, and another stupid bitch who said "it wasn't enough" blah blah blah. Then that bitch Michele goes "well, he sure looked dirty and scruffy like a hippie, with the earrings..." Even Tweety and the other chick looked shocked at the assholishness! I've been wanting to slap that bitch for a while, too, she's always spouting right wing talking points.

I don't work for blogger, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn when I was a kid!

Besides, I do tech support for a living. It's ingrained.

Was it Michelle Bachman from MN, who almost lost her re-election bid because she said on Tweety's show (paraphrase), "We need to investigate members of congress for their leftist behavior."

BTW, snark wrote a nice disclaimer for our comments at TLC, just to avoid any painful misunderstandings:


DISCLAIMER: Any pain caused either directly, indirectly, covertly, overtly or conversely by this comment is purely incidental, unintentional and tangential. The commenter is sincerely sorry for the misunderstanding on the part of the pained party.

I think it's funnier than shit, and it reminds paradox he's got a bit of unfinished business to attend to.

iamcoyote said...

SoS, Bachman didn't lose, did she?

Judith said...

Nope, she narrowly won.

Meanwhile, back in Minnesota, they are still looking under mattresses, car trucks, and flower pots for votes. What if it comes down to a toss of the coin?

Judith said...

Hey, guess what Reid did. He put a pay raise in the auto industry bailout for Federal judges. Sweet!

Go Franken, Go!

Finally. I couldn't post earlier--kept telling me my password was wrong. I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I logged into the blog and that seems to have worked.

Now I forgot what I was going to say. *sigh*

iamcoyote said...

Bummer, CG! That's why I like Gmail, cos I log into that, and I'm logged into blogger automatically.
