Obama’s First Scandal

The RNC demands to know “what did Obama know, and when did he know it?!?!”

The media has had their tits in wringers for two days now. All that the talking heads seem to be able to do is express their abject horror about how Blagojevich is the most corrupt politician ever [and he is a Democrat in Chicago and there are all kinds of webs and strings and common friends of Blagojevich and Obama.] There has been more insinuating on the TeeVees the last two days, than one usually receives in a topless bar in Canada.

It is worse than guilt by association; it is The Hunting of the President – The Sequel.

Id talked about this not long ago. We have actually discussed in several threads how this will be “the 90s on meth.” I am afraid that it might be worse. If we allow them even an inch on the rope that they are tying into a noose, if we let them draw even one line on their map to the witch hunt, it will easily get out of control. We have to stop this now…even before the oath. We cannot allow the Right Wing nuts to control the narrative. We have to quit bringing knives to gunfights and quit putting our faith in “the process.”

The process has changed and it is time that we Liberals figure out what game that we are really playing. We can’t allow goals to be scored while we are still trying to figure out the rules. It is a whole new ballgame now. One need only look at the hypocrisy of the “Great Chicago Scandal of 2008!” Consider that were actual connections between Right Wing Queen Palin and seven-time convicted felon Ted Stevens and we never saw the media reporting on these connections or even mentioning Stevens and Palin in the same sentence. The standard is so double that it has been divided into something that is not even a standard at all.

We might have to lower our standards a little to figure it out; I am not advocating immorality or the ends justify the means. All that I am saying is that when we are swimming around with a bunch of bottom feeders we cannot always expect to use the sunlight to see.

I do agree that Coyote is right, laugh at the bastards and call their absurdity what it is. I also think that we need additional strategies. I see things getting awfully ugly – the Right is digging in their heels and they are hanging on tight. They will not give up their hundred year rule wet-dream easily, they just won’t.

These fuckers better not do shit... not after the last 8 years of living hell!!

We've had 8 years of the most corrupt administration in American History. This is precisely why it is so important for Obama to hold the current administration accountable. When Rummy and Cheney are on the plane to the Hague for war Crimes, and Bush is on the same plane for crimes against humanity, the media and republi-KKKons will be forced away from their current chew toy.

Pay back? You bet! And the more the better.

SOS, you asked in an earlier thread:

Hey Phid maybe you know the answer to this...

Yes, SOS, I know the answer to all questions. I know so much, many people call me a "know it all"!

In reply: Yes, as far as I know they can be sent to the Thules. I'm thinking they should be assigned to that lovely new embassy in Baghdad. As I understand it, there are the occasional fireworks shows. Also, the departments they work for can claim over-staffing, and RIF them as the newest employees. Once they're gone, the hiring begins anew.

Good, force them fuckers out... you want to burrow for bu$h... it's going to be so uncomfortable for you... like a match to a ticks ass!!

BTW Phid, whenever we post at TLC we plan on mentioning "The Pain" in our posts. Rub it in until we all get banned, but remember, he knows code.

phidipides said...

...but remember, he knows code.

Christ, he deletes the shit out of me. I like the guy, and I am afraid I would be a bit too unkind. Besides, there is only so much I want to play. I enjoy it here, I honestly do. If I want to call iac a fracking doofus, I can do it...as long as I duck!

You guys enjoy. Just tell snark I want that line drawering when he has a chance. Otherwise, I'm posting pictures of my...wait, someones at the door...

idiosynchronic said...

You guys are actually posting there?

I quit cold turkey.

Although, if you want to make me happy and mention pain in every comment, you should hyperlink Pain with The Pain Deity, Tim Kreider. Heh.

Obama's not even in the WH yet and yet it starts already.

Judith said...

Paradox must be reading L&L. Today he wrote about "Car Czar" and "Retention."

Seven of Six said...

I saw that Judith, maybe he feels the Pain!

Judith said...

Well, evidently NealB at TLC thinks it is long past time to ban people. Of course, I had to leave my opinion on NealB. I don't get any of it. I feel 'out of the loop,' as I hadn't noticed anything particularly wrong at TLC. If Paradox isn't going to explain (although he has stated he would say something further on the subject in the future), I wish Steve Soto would.

I love TLC, as you know it was my first and only home for years. However, a blog is only as good as it's people, and you guys are the only ones who have defended me on more than one occasion. It is really sad.

iamcoyote said...

Yeah, I saw NealB. I think I tangled with him a couple times, so I'm sure he'd be happy to see me go.

People are still commenting on it, too. I just left a long comment. Don't know if paradox reads back that far.

Seven of Six said...

Don't know if paradox reads back that far.

Has he taken any new action on anyone? Phid says he's still deleting him...

iamcoyote said...

He's actively deleting, p-dip? Still? Can he go to a different computer, or try to use a different name?

Seven of Six said...

This is what P-Dip commented up above...

Huh. I usually see it happening, but TLC's been a ghost town today.
