Saturday Night Thread

Read on the HuffPost that Blagojevich was “blindsided” by the charges against him.So… any pictures out there of him with his seeing-eye dog and white cane?

MTP looks a cage match:[QUOTE]This Sunday — the debut of “Meet the Press with David Gregory” — we’ll have the very latest on the political turmoil in Illinois and the arrest of Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) with Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan (D) and Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn (D). Plus, a roundtable on the fallout from the arrest and findings from the new NBC/WSJ Poll, with the Chicago Sun-Times’ Mary Mitchell and NBC’s Chuck Todd. Then, an in-depth discussion on the troubled economy with Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-MI), Fmr. Gov. Mitt Romney (R-MA), Fmr. Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, Wal-Mart President & CEO Lee Scott, and Google CEO Eric Schmidt.[/QUOTE]

I have no idea about the ratings for MTP, but I’m wondering how soon before the ratings tank and NBC replaces David Gregory?

I dislike David Gregory as much as any other sane person, but who is a reasonable replacement? I mean, Rachel Maddow would be great, but I can’t imagine someone with such a clear liberal bias getting the job. So who would be an actual realistic choice?In other news, new episodes of Doctor Who!

Ted Koppel would have been a good choice. But they’re not going to give it to someone who is objective and who isn’t afraid to tell the media establishment powers that be where to stick it.

Dan Rather heh.

Rachel Liberal Bias?I don’t think so. I don’t see it and she handles Pat Buch(I am racist asshole)anan with the utmost respect and he keeps coming back.She handled David Frum when we was being a dildo.

Holy Shit! I really fucked up with my first comment.It has to be an unwritten rule to never say anything about lesbians and dildos on the GDAB.I am sorry.

Well, I know I’m gonna give myself a stroke over this shit, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, is talking about the huge-ass incentive program following 9-11 to get folks to buy huge-ass SUV’s!So, why did GM (and all) keep building big-ass SUV’s?Fuck the GOP! It’s the Grand Old Party of fucking everyone but the selfish wealthy!Actually the GOP should change their LOGO to GON! The Grand Old Neanderthals!And …… where the fuck is Elvis?

Hey gang. Don’t know if you’ve read this yet, but it’s a horse choker!

Joe,I’m male, not gay, but I have some some cool toys!So I don’t see where you fucked up!

B Carl,No surprise really!I liked Lee’s link’s last night to Michael Ware’s take on this.Our take-over of Iraq was, is, and always will be a big wet kiss for Iran!

Carl, That was a holy shit moment for me a couple hours ago. It is nice to see Iraq news as the HUFFPO headline.Kansas, just watched, “Who killed the electric car?” yesterday and are you talking about the $100,000 tax break for 6000 lbs GVW vehicles?

Joe,Basically this:http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/Hybrid/Story?id=97505&page=1This was one of the beautiful plans following 9-11 to ‘stimulate” the economy!I personally know of two small businesses that dumped mini-vans and went for Suburbans because they were basically FREE!This is what pisses me off now about the GM bailout! These same fuckers that are whining about having nothing to do with this DID have a lot to do with it!It makes me crazy! It’s rewriting history!The GOP does the the same with the build-up tp Iraq!I just get tired of having shit fed to me like I’m some kind of mushroom, and it pisses me off that the MSM is not reporting on this!

Mushroom Yes!But we are starting to wake up and realize what the matrix is.Neon(the One) will come and unplug all of us that are awake soon. It is our job to wake everyone up.The GOP owns the MSM.

Now on my blog:Have you ever seen someone who was more full of shit than this guy?Oh. My. God.His acting is so bad that he makes Hillary Clinton appear as if she deserves an Academy Award.Embedded video from CNN Video“I’M FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE!”Really? Are you going to die if you don’t win this election? Are you really going to go unemployed if you had only slight involvement with the Illinois governor (as you claim)? Your name is Jesse Jackson, Junior for fuck’s sake.As he drones on in his lugubrious, nauseating manner, notice how he throws in his children in an Edwardian (as in John Edwards) manner at the last moment– as he interrupts his wife. “AND I’M FIGHTING FOR THEM! AND I’M FIGHTING FOR THEM! AND I’M FIGHTING FOR THEM!”So this defense is “for the children,” huh? It’s not about your political career, right?Please… shut the fuck up, man.

Sorry. Here is a link to that painful video:http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/12/jackson.jr.blagojevich/index.html

boring correction (done in the style of Al Franken’s infamous radio show)I meant to include “or appointment” after “election,” although it appears that IL will have some sort of special election for the seat.

THEJoe, your choice of words would have made a ripple only if Kat had been here. Rachel, dildo, asshole–Kat would have imploded.

DP, you are probably right. I am sure Kat would of had some choice words for my Freudian mistake.
