    one more thing before i go…i understand that obama is smarter than me which is probably why i am so pissed. i feel like the retard in math class. that was mean…i feel like the dumb ass in math class…yeah that sounds better.and i do like hillary! she really is a pitbull in lipstick, which i like a lot, just not when they turn on “family”…

    I think the endless speculation of why he chose her is getting out of hand. I mean, we can guess and guess and guess about the strategy behind it (if indeed there is a strategy involved), but ultimately the only one that knows is Barack Obama. I’m not sure, though, that we’ve seen this kind of maneuvering and manipulation of political rivals from him before. He’s still new to the scene. That may be behind the delay of the actual announcement of the offer being made. Maybe her camp is thinking in those old political terms, of what they are being maneuvered into. It might be as simple as he wants her in the position because he respects her and wants her on the team.Granted, she’s free to consider the offer as long as she wants, but the longer she takes the more we get the impression that Hillary Clinton is thinking solely of Hillary Clinton first and service to the country second. It almost affirms everything Obama supporters disliked about her from the beginning.

    I wasn’t surprised by the gesture, but the position offered seems odd.But I get most of my news from The Daily Show lately.

    Dear Bob,I’d love to Digg you but Digging requires one to register and give an email. Or something. And create another password and username, and lately I can’t pay my bills when I do have money because I forget the passwords, numbers and pins.No offense. Your blog would have to literally come through the screen and pleasure me before I’d want to give my email out again.

    At this point, I hope she says no. Too much drama and distraction.

    @ gypsysoul – Richardson worked in the Clinton Administration as well. Does that means he’s disqualified as an agent of change?

  • ceu

    So…Palin pardoned a turkey while turkey slaughtering was going on in the background? LOL! Why did anyone think that might make a good photo op?

  • ceu

    Carl re: gypsysoul – I don’t think the he in “he is change” refers to Richardson. I read it as referring to Obama. Seems to me that s/he’s agreeing with your position on that particular issue. :)

    I wonder if Gypsy is freaked out by local Charleston people or teevee people.

  • JG

    I really hope this Clinton thing falls through–this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as media distraction is concerned.Hopefully, she turns it down–

  • ceu

    “And a friend to all creatures great and small…” and then she wouldn’t hold the turkey ’cause it was too dirty. And then, during the press conference that followed, there’s a guy in the background killing turkeys. (they blurred out the goriest parts) She’s totally unaware of what’s happening behind here, and said something like “I’ll probably get critized for this”. Ya think?She’s the gift that keeps on giving…

  • El Mystico

    Um… anyone watching Countdown? The latest Sarah Palin looked like a British comedy sketch, with her just standing there blathering while some guy slaughters turkeys behind her, and occasionally mugging for the camera. I wish I had written that!

  • jane

    too soon to say fuck Typepad?

  • ceu

    Nope, Jane.

    Rewatching some old Colbert… Reading Richard Scarry aloud. George the President. Cedric the Entertainer.He should win an Emmy or something.

  • jane

    I don’t think Clinton could do worse than Rice.

    Has anyone heard from Elvis?I’m officially worried.

  • cminri

    Me too Bob. I checked in at his blog and couldnt tell when the most recent entries were made. It seems like he has been MIA for a couple of weeks or so.

  • gypsysoul111

    glad to see others not really into hillary as sos. i’m over it!jane…i get freaked on a daily basis by most people and i think it is at an all time high. i didn’t realize this until my car was heading straight towards a mccain-palin bumper sticker the other day. yes…even after we have secured the presidency.broadway carl…ceu was right. i was talking about obama being change from bush and company.i was in a lil’ freak fit of rage so not everything came out properly.by the way….who is this elvis person everyone is concerned about….friend or foe? again i feel left behind only this time “fat kid in gym class”

    Bob, I finished your book last night and now my sister is reading it. Next, I’ll give it to the library. I don’t think I’m depriving you of income, because they are actually closing some branch libraries in San Diego for lack of funds, and I doubt they are buying books at all. It’s not in their system, and this way they will have at least one copy…. And by the way, I really enjoyed it! Though I did learn one slang word I wish I hadn’t.
