Doof Quote of the Day

Posted on 01/29/2009 at 1:39 pm by JumpyPants

“The other thing he could have done…you can go for centrist compromises and say to your own party, “Sorry, some of you liberals aren’t going to like it, but I’m going to change this legislation radically to get a big centrist majority rather than an all-Democratic vote.” He chose not to do that. That’s the exact path that George Bush took for most of his presidency with disastrous consequences for bipartisanship and solving big problems.”
—Mark Halperin on Morning Joe

Someone wrote on the Huffington Post that I’m being unfairly harsh on Mark Halperin. But I ask you, has there ever been a time — ever — when Halperin has said something that’s either insightful or, you know, not crazy?

    Haha… I put him up as my idiot quote of the day too.

  • MZ

    Similarly Limbaugh’s “ideas” for stimulus (linked to at HuffPo) included the line “where’s the bipartisanship?”Republicans demanding bipartisanship from Democrats is like the Klan demanding racial harmony from blacks.They’re realizing how bitter their own medicine tastes…

    I’m thrilled that Obama hasn’t moved to the center because in the course of one week he has ruined the Democratic party and his re-election. Because he and the party have put all their eggs in one “Stimulus” basket that will never work. Absolute FACT will not work (and the funny thing is it is so easy to learn about how economies actually work, Democrats have always ignored it). It is a record democratic spending package, to all the worthless organizations that helped him get elected. 4 billion to Acorn, unbelievable. I find it comical now to watch the course and speed of this stimulus and how everyone is so euphoric over Obama as he is about to get creamed over this. But I almost wouldn’t be surprised if you liberals give him a pass on it though. I mean he really has such vast knowledge and experience to steer us in the right direction, the kind of experience you can only get from being a community organizer.

    Bob,I thought you were slipping there for a moment. I saw this on the HUFFPO and immediately went into,”Did Bob see this?” mode. Anyway, Morning Joe is getting on my last nerve. They prop up assholes like this and report bullshit about fake CBO reports. You are right. This is the next WMD.

    While Dave throws out frivolous accusations based entirely on fantasy and willful misrepresentation of even what FOX News is reporting (that despite their willfully misleading headline, groups LIKE ACORN could be eligible for funding), I’d like to answer Bob’s question:No.QT

    I think Dave went into Automatic GOP Talking Point mode. AHAAHAH!! What a riot! Please come back after you learn something, Dave.

    That’s some mighty scary Kool-aid that some people are drinking.So Dave, that economics degree that you got from K-Mart, you should ask for a refund.Nobel prize winning economists think the stimuli package is pretty good, but would be much better if it had more spending.I’m more inclined to accept their opinion over your’s and Rush’s.Rush obtained his economics degree from where again? Oh, that’s right, he has no degree.Hey, I hear you can make lots of money investing with Bernie Madoff.Funny, I seem to recall that the latest polls say that 60% of Americans favor the stimuli package and only 40% disappprove. Seems that Dave is on the losing side, again.Do our country a great favor Dave, goose-step off the cliff with the rest of the Rush lemmings.

    Yeah, but Dave needs to download the updated version. ACORN? Community Organizer? Pssst, Dave, the campaign is over.

    David and Goliath(Rush,Hannity, Hilter)We Liberals especially on GDAB have some things that conservatives will never have, the ability to read, search for information and independent thinking. I actually learned the other day that the inability to learn new things is called “Stupidity”. Someone that can learn is referred to as “Intelligent”. My Professor went on to mention that fighting with people that are incapable of learning is a waste of time and will only harder your “BELIEFS” and make you hate me more. So you be a good little boy, go listen to your Fuhrer and try not to poke yourself in the eye with a fork. Thank you.

    Oops… did I break the rules linking to Fox? If I did, please let me know, and I won’t do it again… (otherwise I assume I screwed up the code somehow…)QT

    You just have to love the hilarity production capability of the Four Horsemen of the Neoconservative Apocolypse (Rush, Bill, Sean, and Mark, RBS&M, aka Repubelickin Bullshit for Sadists and Masochists™).All of them wave ACORN like a satanic talisman. Yeah, a group of community organizers that provide shelters for the homeless, food for the hungry, and try to register low-income voters deserve to be treated like some unholy, satanic cult of murderous do-gooders. Doing good for anyone not yourself is just so unamerican. In Real America™, the hungry get kicked and told to crawl off and die. In Real America™, the homeless get beaten to death. In Real America™, low-income voters are disenfranchised because you know damn well that they’ll vote for those ‘liberal’ (said like one would say evil or ACORN) Democrats.Speaking of ACORN, what happened with all of the supposed ‘evil shit’ that they did last Sept. and Oct.? Haven’t heard a word. You know why? There was nothing to hear because ACORN did nothing wrong. It was all made up bullshit. The Repubelickins have repeated this identical attack on ACORN every election since 2002 and they have yet to be found having done anything wrong. Look for more of the same in 2010.Bill can’t even get WW II history correct. Does Bill have a degree? I’ll bet it’s not in history. What ignorant knucklehead doesn’t know that Sweden was neutral in WW II? Oh, that would be Bill.You know, if you wrote this stuff up as a comedy sketch, it would never fly. No one would believe that these people could be this dense. Do they mix depleated uranium with their corn flakes?WTF?

    “Dave” is not a person. “Dave” is a spambot created in the bowels of Microsoft. The program downloads daily talking points from Rush Limbaugh’s show transcripts and deposits them at random on political websites.”Dave” will undoubtedly want an apology for my revelation of the truth behind his creation. But no matter how much you demand it, I’m sorry, “Dave.” I can’t do that.

  • Erin

    I also read that Mika was cheering on the Republicans for voting no on her radio show today…..her dad must be so ashamed of her.

  • Ryan

    It’s the policy, stupid! Media…still not getting it.

  • MatthewN

    Hey Dave,Care to put a few bucks on that “ruined the Democratic party and his re-election” thing?We can make it easy. If Obama has ruined the Democratic party, then they’ll get absolutely hammered in the 2010 elections, right?I mean… who votes for a ruined party, right?C’mon, I got $100 that says Democrats hang onto both the House and the Senate in 2010.Folks here that remember the pre-election $10k fundraiser will tell you I’m good for it!

  • SillyGit

    I think I meant depleted uranium.Depleated uranium is what you get when you remove uranium’s skirt.

    Mark Halperin is about as clueless and as worthless as Morning Joke himself…

  • jj jxn

    Obviously it wouldn’t be bipartisan if it didn’t have some of that crapilicious trickle-down bullshit that got us where we are today.

  • Lee

    here’s an obvious question no one in the BBQ media will ask: Who the f*ck elected Rush Limbaugh?

  • Likala

    AnnetteNice blog. Everyone should go there and scroll down to the Born Again American video. Music usually has to grow on me, but this I liked from the getgo…AWESOME! The Marine and others not hard on the eyes either.Just sayin’
