  • gypsy

  • Teh Minx

    I Believe in You, President Obama. I believe in the United States of America again… GO!

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

  • jane

    Mission Accomplished, Joe

  • Keith Olbermann

    Michael Steele, RNC Chairman… today’s worst person… in… the… worlddddddddddddddd…

  • gypsy

    keekee…gi, you are reminding me of that guy in “revenge of the nerds” (don’t judge me) that makes the guy and girl meet and hold hands on that old school computer! except yours is two seconds from “body rocking knocking tha boots”!

  • emsique

    Much better than the crap that will be coming (I said coming) from the Repubes after tonites speech.

  • GIthePotato

    On a side note. I just found out that the top 1% own 70% of all the wealth in this country. They also make 50% of the annual GDP. So if you feel like your are OWNED your ARE!^_^

  • GIthePotato

    >>Mission Accomplished, JoeYOU FUCKING WITH ME BITCH!!!!YOU KNOW THIS MAKES MY HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM ACT UP!!*pulls out can of beef barley and prepares to throw*

  • fe

    Fineman’s hair looks good today. Or, better ‘n usual.

  • gypsy

    what is the money amount that you have to have to be in the top one percent?

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    How the hell does Morning Joke get in the chamber??

  • dontpanic23

    He hobknobbed his way in, most likely. Or bullied.

  • GIthePotato

    $300,000

  • ceu

    Joe looks good up there in the VP seat.Wonder if he’ll take a cue from Cheney & catch some z’s during the speech…

  • GIthePotato

    Before I die I am going to but my dick in Rachel’s beautifully smart mouth. I know there is a conflict of interest but I think she has a thing for Army dudes.

  • gypsy

    uhh…i “heart” the pres. but does cnn really need a countdown ticker?!

  • jane

    (sorry, phone.)FUCK YOU GI THE TRAITOR! WHERE WAS YOUR LOYALTY WHEN OUR PREZNIT WAS TAKING AWAY YOUR SURVIVOR BENEFITS AND YOUR REDEPLOYMENT????okay I’m back.

  • Alan4s

    On this mornings thread, our guest troll was incensed that the top 1% of earners paid 33% of all federal tax money. Given your 70% figure LtJoe, seems to me they are getting a bargin.

  • Ax. Rose

    @ GI:Best sentence (the bit about Rachel) ever.

  • GIthePotato

    To be continued…”All Raise”"Ladies and Gentlemen the President of United States”Sergeant at Arms in 5 mikes

  • ceu

    Oh shit. Last Restaurant Standing is on now, toowhat to watch, what to watch…

  • dontpanic23

    Chris: *slap*You back?

  • jane

    Compare and contrast: Michele Bachmann sucking Bush tit.

  • jane

    Yay! Ginsburg. Still not dead.

  • veralynn

    that guy introducing everyone is none other than Barry Sullivan!! You can see a picture of him in my pics @FB….very nice guysorry to name drop, but I love to see him!

  • fe

    glad to see Ginsberg is okay.

  • ceu

    Ginsburg looks so weak :( It’s only been a few weeks since her surgery

  • ElMystico

    Yay Ginsberg indeed… Plus Clarence Thomas’s mouth really moves! I guess it only doesn’t work when he’s doing Supreme Court stuff.

  • jane

    Sully’s in Pelosi’s box, I hear tell.

  • Fanboy

    Jesus Christ GI… if Rachel wasn’t gay before, you would have just driven her to it…

  • idreamofskiba

    “And then we’re going to see John McCain, who’s been a bit grumpy lately.”

  • Ax. Rose

    Is it me or is this event unnecessarily epic?

  • jane

    Vilsack! Aflac! Ball sack! sorry Joe moment.

  • QueenTiye

    Um..Justice Thomas was beaming when Michelle came in. Never saw that before.QT

  • veralynn

    does tweety realy have to be here? cant we just have rachel and keith?

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    I couldn’t believe the grin on that old SOB’s mouth when Michelle walked out.. Never seen that before.That’s why I don’t watch CNN…lol It is either MSNBC or CSPAN…lots of times I turn to CSPAN then I don’t have to listen to the mindless chatter.

  • ElMystico

    >>>Sully’s in Pelosi’s box, I hear tell.Dirty.

  • jane

    No, Axl, it’s all necessary.

  • fe

    Chris Matthews needs to shut his fucking mouth.

  • fe

    *fangirl squeal*

  • jane

    Heh, Andrew. Heh indeed.

  • idreamofskiba

    I have goosebumps again.

  • veralynn

    I have waited 2 long years for this….I need a drink

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    If Bachman lays a hand on him she should be shot

  • Ax. Rose

    @ Jane:I just love what a circle jerk our government is.Clapping and high fiving each other like shit doesn’t kind of suck right now, lol.

  • jane

    I swear I read some account of how the Greedy Obstructionist Party members were falling over themselves asking for his autograph, while they were voting against the Recovery bill.

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Suppose Shelby was asking for his birth certificate

  • Teh Minx

    GI the Potato–Try to woo Rachel while wearing your dress uniform & extra shiny shoes…that should do it.

  • Ax. Rose

    Hey, who is this grinny, big eared Negro walking out right now?Oh, that’s right… that’s the President.

  • jane

    I will say it again: a bobblehead Alito would be redundant.

  • jane

    I gotta love how they put another Negro into the Undisclosed Location. Heh.

  • veralynn

    right on jane

  • ElMystico

    >>If Bachman lays a hand on him she should be shotI dunno, I think Rep. Golem only has eyes for her precious- who’s probably out clearing brush or attending a Baylor women’s basketball game.

  • gypsy

    again…wish i had a 1# foam finger!but this is over the top axl!

  • veralynn

    did i just say “right one”?? i haven’t even started drinking yetsorry–hanging head in shame and disgust

  • Ax. Rose

    @ Jane:Yeah, how awesome is that? That should be enough to keep the zany right-wing types at bay.

  • ceu

    no, Axl, actually it’s not necessary. The Constitution requires that the president update Congress from time to time, but it doesn’t call for spectacles.OTOH, it is necessary for those of us who haven’t been able to bear listening to such a speech in almost a decade.

  • jane

    (claps at home)

  • Elvis The Dingeldein

    That’s right, bitches, STAND for the First Lady!And was that soldier clapping from his crotch? Oh, the shame!

  • veralynn

    and messed that up too…better start drinking, maybe i will type better

  • Elvis The Dingeldein

    Okay, Joe, TRY TO LOOK LIKE YOU’RE PAYING ATTENTION, YOU COCKSUCKER! What the fuck is he doing, playing with his dingeldein? HEY NANCY! TAKE THE VICE PRESIDENT’S FUCKING BLACKBERRY FROM HIM!!!

  • jane

    Vera, lay off the crack. You’re hallucinating typos.

  • fe

    seriously? msnbc, you’re going to do an audience reaction thing?dicks.

  • gypsy

    why the fuck is there a favorability line?!?!?!?!?

  • Ax. Rose

    It’s showtime…

  • Teh Minx

    Fer Sure, Fer Sure!! *Slaps self* Sorry, got stuck in the ’80′s.

  • veralynn

    ty janeis my teevee broken? how come there are no mccain voters on the screen thingy on msnbc?

  • ElMystico

    What the blazing hell, MSNBC. I don’t need your douchey reaction lines. If I wanted moving things constantly crawling over every part my screen I’d be watching CNN. Also, hey, they liked it when he said America could get stronger. There’s a fucking shock. Goddammit.

  • Elvis The Dingeldein

    The President said “responsibility”! REPUBLICANS: DRINK!

  • Kyle W.

    After watching “Right America Feeling Wronged” I’m scared to even venture outside of my house here in the deep, deep south.And the president’s on every channel — what’s a guy to watch?

  • Ax. Rose

    That’s why I’m watching CNN.comIt’s slower but it has none of the bullshit. :)

  • veralynn

    why does boner look like that?

  • jane

    At least he’s not asleep, Elvis. Or not blinking.

  • Fanboy

    Nice.. President Superman just punched each and every republican doucebag in the room in the throat…

  • Kyle W.

    MSNBC’s little approval lines are as useless as G.I.’s attempt to put his penis in Rachel’s mouth.

  • ceu

    At least Hilary has a seat up front now…

  • Ax. Rose

    Boehner looks salty doesn’t he?

  • idreamofskiba

    That’s what I was thinking, jane.

  • veralynn

    Nice.. President Superman just punched each and every republican doucebag in the room in the throat…Posted by: Fanboy at February 24, 2009 9:11 PMI thought it was more of a bitch slap, but I like yours better

  • jane

    Nice, Kyle! Also, heh.

  • Kyle W.

    “There are some who are skeptical”Make sure that McCain shot is lined up. Hells yeah. More drama than the Angelina cutaways while Jen was onstage at the Oscars. :\

  • fe

    I’m not sure what to say to the massive applause for Joe Biden…

  • Kyle W.

    I’m trying to make a drinking game out of the audience reaction lines on MSNBC. So far, I’ve been drinking every time they cross… so I’m pretty lit.

  • ElMystico

    Hey, did anyone else catch Mitch McConnell catching that fly out of the air?Heh. No one messes w/Joe Biden…Except the MLA, who has a fatwah out on him.

  • gypsy

    damn! these are fun as hell now! fun and informative! i don’t know what to do with myself…

  • jane

    Kyle, I’m so lit I’ve been watching the 50% line. It hasn’t moved! Okay, not much.

  • veralynn

    am i still hallucinating or are the repugs standing and clapping?? wtf?

  • gypsy

    i thought that was cheney’s current heart beat jane!

  • gypsy

    holy shit did anyone else see that guy hold down another from standing!!!!

  • jane

    At least a month too late, Gyps.

  • ElMystico

    Alright, who fed Lieberman a bowl full of lemons?

  • ElMystico

    >>>holy shit did anyone else see that guy hold down another from standing!!!!No… Was it anyone you recognized?

  • veralynn

    ok I just got goosebumps….a President to be proud of, goddamn i love this country

  • Kyle W.

    I had to give up on the drinking game — it ceases to be fun when you can’t get a breath in edgewise.Now it’s just a drinking problem. ;)

  • gypsy

    not sure el. it was a shot from behind (that’s what she said) i will find out though…

  • Ax. Rose

    He’s seriously just way too good at this speech thing.Damn…

  • ElMystico

    Ooh! Let’s all clap for the middle class! I didn’t know it was appropriate to clap at a funeral.

  • gypsy

    NANCY SIT DOWN!!!! jesus! i find it funny republicans are digging him more than democrats!

  • ElMystico

    The Germans are stealing the sun! Give it back, Jerry!

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    How come that red line is running higher than the blue line….lmao

  • ElMystico

    Carl Levin, D- Sleepytown.

  • Teh Minx

    Gyps! Is it time for the Red Carpet Fashion Feedback yet?Who is a winner & Who is a sinner?!?

  • gypsy

    the red line is the poor schmucks he had to extend the digital cutoff for. shhh…they can’t see he’s black through the fuzzy black and white screen!

  • Kyle W.

    John McCain, R – Crazytown

  • ElMystico

    Um…guys…you might want to stand for the ‘children’s health care’ ovation… just saying.

  • Kyle W.

    Yes, those definitely aren’t the same McCain voters in Ms. Pelosi’s documentary.They’d be looking for the “terrorist” button.

  • jane

    I WILL CURE CANCER!!!

  • Kyle W.

    Dick Cheney’s sympathy cures cancer.

  • gypsy

    el, when it shows the room from the back right corner it..notice the only two guys sitting behind the group that is often all sitting! the guy on the outside seat was being held down by the guy beside of him…

  • Fanboy

    Gotta love the repugs…. MEDICINE FOR CHILDREN?!? WHAT KINDA TWILIGHT ZONE, COMMIE SHIT IS THAT???

  • Kyle W.

    Maybe the one congressman had popped a tent and the other was trying to save him the embarrassment. That’s my theory.

  • veralynn

    Nancy looks like she and Joe are sharing the bag of lemon drops

  • gypsy

    kyle maybe it was rachel trying to get away from gi!

  • AdyLeigh

    I wish he’d just tell us like it is, while selling us false hope, being transparent and keeping some things secret. That’s cleary what he MUST do tonight.

  • ElMystico

    AdyLeigh…Lol. I agree! AdyLeigh Johnson is right!

  • Kyle W.

    wow, the red line was off the top of the chart for a few seconds there.it rejoined us!gypsy, that remains a possibility! we must protect her intelligent mouth from the awaiting violation!

  • ElMystico

    WTF…the red line disappeared above the thing for a while…I expected to see it crawling across Nancy Pelosi’s face.Also, line by line through the entire federal budget? Sucks to be that barn full of interns.Also, suck on that, Monsanto!

  • Kyle W.

    LMAO I thought Nancy was going to jump out of her seat on the corporate tax cuts.

  • emsique

    Is this thing on? Why was my comment previewed?

  • veralynn

    i thought nancy was going to do a cartwheel for a minute there

  • jane

    China is watching you, em.

  • thruwithbuzz

    What’s up with the graphic on the bottom of the screen on MSNBC? I had to switch to C-SPAN, it was distracting

  • ElMystico

    Hmm… I wonder what Mitch McConnell was saying to the guy next to him after the “95% of you will be getting tax cuts” line. I can read lips, but unfortunately, he doesn’t have any.

  • veralynn

    for 7 years we have been a nation at war, no longer will we hide its pricegoddamn i cannot believe we voted for this guy…he is way too sane and competent

  • emsique

    Damn Chinese tubes are making me mad! Can’t get the speech, only print news! fuckfuckfucketyfuckfuck! Oh well, your comments give me insight. Such wisdom.

  • AdyLeigh

    McCain wants a chance to talk about the goddamned helicopters. He looks mad enough to walk out.Are we all full of hope and rainbows yet? I want to chant “Fired up! Ready to go!” Or *yawn* I might fall asleep.

  • jane

    WHERE ARE THE LINES??? THE LINES ARE GONE!!!

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Hats off to you GI

  • ElMystico

    Jane- I KNOW WTF WHERE ARE THEY! I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL WITHOUT THE LINES!!!

  • The Colonel

    The grown ups are in charge again … and it feels great :) .

  • gypsy

    why don’t they stay standed and just start using spirit fingers?!

  • Ax. Rose

    Man, I can’t believe this guy.

  • jane

    I saw a guy tweeting onto a notepad.

  • Kyle W.

    Sorry about the lines… old habits die hard.

  • emsique

    China LOVES my white ass! Just gave me another 3 months on my visa. Next one is 6 months. Then a year…. Way easier than trying to get my wife into fucked up US. Why should we want a college educated, smart woman when we have a bunch of stupid white guys from the south trying to fuck up our country?

  • AdyLeigh

    LOL! I knew I couldn’t be the only one to notice Mitch McConnel was missing his lips. You’d think that might keep him from talking so much, but no.Ooops, the Republicans are pouting about the “no more waterboarding” rule…

  • jane

    ah, generic rhetoric…there are the lines.

  • ElMystico

    Cyberthreats?!Sully looks impassive.

  • ElMystico

    You think it’s awkward to have congress give you a standing ovation? I mean, if you’re the president it’s kind of a game to see how many you get, but if you’re just some guy… gotta be kinda weird.

  • gypsy

    i’ve laughed, i’ve cried, i’ve stood on my sofa and clapped, i’ve kissed my dog in the mouth! I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!

  • AdyLeigh

    VeraLynn, he does sound smart, and he messed up his speech too so he got in enough stupid for the Republicans to like him…well, maybe.Good for that little girl in that crumbling school. She’s not a quitter. But Dumbass Gov. Mark Sanford surely is a fucking quitter!

  • jane

    (gives Myst a standing O) how was it?

  • thruwithbuzz

    I’ve never teared up from listening to the State of the Union address before.

  • jane

    Stop calling me Shirley.

  • JackDanieL

    I love my country, again!

  • ElMystico

    @ Jane- It was okay, but if there were 535 of you it might be a little terrifying.Also… encore! Free bird!

  • Kyle W.

    So… that red line spent entirely too much time above the blue line.

  • thruwithbuzz

    Isn’t it cool to be proud of the President?

  • veralynn

    I am proud again….ady that little girl was so right…maybe sanford will finally have more than his prayers for her and her classmates…god knows dillon needs some help

  • ceu

    HA! He’s signing autographs!

  • Fanboy

    Good Gods, hes good at that….

  • fe

    Bobby Jindal’s about to go out and refute that. Idiot.

  • thruwithbuzz

    I just saw someone kiss him.

  • GIthePotato

    Sorry, I was standing at the position of attention the entire time holding a perfect salute. For some reason President Obama didn’t return my salute.QUICK ALABAMA BIRTH CERTIFICATE CHECK!

  • veralynn

    that, ladies and gentlemen, was your President

  • fe

    GI, that’s the best mental image I’ve had in a long time.

  • thruwithbuzz

    I can’t believe I’m seeing the President signing autographs!

  • Kyle W.

    The autograph-seeking is so… tacky.

  • thruwithbuzz

    He Just borrowed someone’s Sharpie

  • Fanboy

    I’m disappointed… when, dear god, will someone begin to address the imminent zombie apocalypse?

  • Kyle W.

    I hope he signs all the republican autographs as Barack Hussein Obama.

  • veralynn

    lmao Kyle…..perfect, just perfect

  • Kyle W.

    Fanboy, no one cares about the zombies until they’re pulling the boards off the windows.

  • Ax. Rose

    Man, this motherfucker is awesome. The signing of autographs is hilarious.

  • AdyLeigh

    Bobby Jindal has to do a seance to out do President Obama. Cool. I want to see some good voodoo.

  • gypsy

    uhh…did anyone see bush sign an autograph for someone with all their teeth?!can’t wait to see what their “person of color” will say after that!

  • Kansasdem

    He hugged Lieberman And then some douche-bag said he lacked specifics …………..I made up my own mind! He did good!!

  • Lee

    Listening to Jindal is like drinking too much hard liquor. You get a huge head ache, you lose a bunch of brain cells, and later on, when you see him, all you get is a gag reflex.

  • veralynn

    gyps, I never watched so I don’t know

  • Fanboy

    Thats true Kyle, but surely we need some kind of board distrabution program.

  • veralynn

    ady—i dont think i am ready for a right wing nutjob response, i want to keep the proud feeling that i have

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Is this a good time to say I love my president?QT

  • ElMystico

    >>>I’m disappointed… when, dear god, will someone begin to address the imminent zombie apocalypse?That’s all well and good, but when will someone begin to address the imminent Robot Apocalypse?

  • GIthePotato

    I love that he slapped the SC Governor in the face with that young girl and her piss poor school.Booby Jindal is going to have cut the balls off a CEO to out do the President.Can we just call him Presidential Candidate Jindal?

  • Kyle W.

    Oh god, robot zombies. How do you kill them? Destroy the CPU?

  • AdyLeigh

    Jindal will have to levitate to out shine this speech.

  • Kat

    Robots? Zombies? I think in these parts, a Vagina Apocalypse is far more imminent.

  • GIthePotato

    Watch the MSM give Jindal two fucking weeks of nonstop coverage about his crazy.

  • idreamofskiba

    I’m really not in the mood for the republican response.

  • gypsy

    did you guys here keith say “oh god” before jindal?! hehe…

  • jane

    Hi, boys and girls! I sound like I’m reading to children.

  • http://nanotyrnns.blogspot.com/ Nanotyrannus

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!Something on my TV screen has come to EAT MY SOUL!!!

  • lds

    He sounds fake.

  • Kyle W.

    What is up with Bobby’s elocution?

  • veralynn

    it’ll bring you down skiba from that happy happy joy joy feeling

  • Alan4s

    Is Jindal speaking like Mr. Rogers? I didn’t see him change into his sneakers when he came in.

  • GIthePotato

    This man isn’t funny.

  • jane

    I see Zombie Lips.

  • Kat

    Somebody really needs to give Jindal acting lessons. I could deliver this speech better.

  • ceu

    Oh, Christ! What an asshole!He’s talking like he’s addressing first-graders.”fortunately, he never missed a payment!” OBVIOUSLY, THERE WERE JOBS THEN!!

  • dontpanic23

    Is Jindal making anyone else gag? Just me?

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Is he really a citizen.. he grew up in India…lol

  • Ax. Rose

    HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHADo you hear this guy?He sounds like Mr. Rogers.

  • gypsy

    i feel like i am watching a sunday morning gospel show!

  • Kyle W.

    I wish he’d tone down the southern accent. It’s overblown and embarrassing.

  • idreamofskiba

    Wow. He is awful at this.

  • emsique

    God I hate being in the dark. No video because of slow tubes, so from what you tell me, no lips for Mitch, I knew that. President is awesome and makes hippies cry and people with teeth want autographs and his approval will go up to 85% and Repubes will continue to be douches but he will continue to be reaching out his hand, but will wear a thick rubber glove so he doesn’t get any douche goo on himself. I will miss Bobby J. be a turd, so I am going out to enjoy this lovely day. Fro Freedom!!!

  • veralynn

    wow, does he really think, after the speech we just saw, that that tone is the one he wants to go with?

  • http://nanotyrnns.blogspot.com/ Nanotyrannus

    I got $5 in my pocket that says that boat story turns out to be complete and total bullshit.

  • jane

    Republican response FAIL.

  • Ax. Rose

    Dude… seriously? Am I hearing this right?Man… this is comedy.

  • Kat

    Did this Republican governor seriously just bring up Katrina – one of the biggest failures of our recent Republican president? And how is this supposed to make us feel warm and fuzzy about Republicans?

  • GIthePotato

    He is talking down to me

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Here we go… spin cycle.. spinning spinning.. lol

  • idreamofskiba

    Me too, DP.

  • dontpanic23

    No wonder the tubes were clogged. We were all saying the same thing.

  • jane

    Ah, the Disneyland train. We should have had Bingo cards for this speech.

  • AdyLeigh

    Bobby Jindal looks like the Doogie Howser of politics.Fuck him. He’s “using” Katrina.

  • gypsy

    is he trying to get a little boy to “help” him find his “puppy”?!?!

  • Alan4s

    Ha! my local NBC station just cut away from him to plug their 11:00 news coverage.The Disney train? Really? That’s the republican response?He’s awful. Perfect running mate for Palin.

  • Kyle W.

    Ah, yes, Bobby, tell me about how great Pepublicans are at running the economy… into the ground.

  • Kyle W.

    Pepublicans? A typo, but I like it.

  • Ax. Rose

    No Jane… Republican response WIN. It’s really all they got at this point.What is he going to tell people… the truth?”Sorry guys… we fucked up big time,” doesn’t make much of a speech.

  • ceu

    He used the lie about mag-lev train from Vegas to Disneyland! And he doesn’t want volcano monitoring….’cause there are no volcanos in Louisiana??I say we cut spending on hurricane monitoring as well. We don’t get many here in CT, anyway.

  • idreamofskiba

    He kind of talks like that guy on the “extenze” infomercials.

  • http://nanotyrnns.blogspot.com/ Nanotyrannus

    COMMERCIAL SIGN!

  • ElMystico

    >>>Can we just call him Presidential Candidate Jindal?I prefer to call him Master Exorcist Jindal.Blah blah spending bad! Always! Drill blah blah! Government bad! (BTW the rescue workers in that story about rescuin’ people… Not government? Just… rescue…team?)

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Here we go… spin cycle.. spinning spinning.. lol

  • Lee

    The best part is this is most likely what they’ll be running on, almost verbatim, up through the next presidential election. Now we have 4 years to debunk this crap.

  • veralynn

    lamo skiba…i couldnt place it till you said itand couldnt he mention that it is the BIGGEST tax cut for middle class workers?

  • thruwithbuzz

    I want the pucnh Jindal in the throat.He sounds like he’s reading a book to a bunch of fucking 5 year olds.

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    I think I am sick…

  • Kat

    Ahhh!! It’s the feargasm!!!

  • Kyle W.

    ceu, the Pepublicans’ criticism of the volcano monitoring is among the absolute stupidest bits of willful ignorance I’ve witnessed in my 26 years. Because, you know, volcanoes aren’t dangerous.Since 1700, 260,000 people have been killed by volcanoes. How many have been killed by Al Qaeda?

  • thruwithbuzz

    I can’t spell when I’m pissed

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    Yeah My Pet Goat…lol

  • GIthePotato

    President said, “I will grow the military and make sure they have the funding to healthcare and benefits.”JinHole said, “We need to continue to fund the fighting men and women.”Who do you believe?Adding..What was his position during Katrina? I am pretty sure he wasn’t the Governor.

  • idreamofskiba

    Please tell me this guy will never be president.

  • Eruleptanero

    Oh, yeah, Republicans just “went along with earmarks”, etc. etc.No, they didn’t actually start any of that stuff at all! The minority party in government for most of this decade just forced the Republicans to do it!

  • veralynn

    transparency and universal health care from them? that i would like to see

  • emsique

    Remember this is representative government. Sentient beings actually chose Jindal to be their governor. And Boner. And Palin also. Good Lord, it is truly frightening that there are entire large chunks of our country where fellow citizens like these fuckwads.

  • Lee

    AHAHAHA THE SOVIET MENACE!! WE NEEDS TO DEFEAT IT!!

  • dontpanic23

    Gag a maggot, this guy is worse than Billy Mayes.

  • Fanboy

    zombies or robots… these are the things that keep me up at night…seriously, this guy can’t even read a teleprompter well. Even the Bushie could let a little emotion creep into his voice while reading…

  • ceu

    That was horrible.

    Did that tool just brag about what they did to the New Orleans public school system? Charter schools?”..when Americans get the proper education…”SCARY AS FUCK.

  • ElMystico

    Did he just complain about not seeing results from the stimulus yet? The bill from LAST WEEK? Also, didn’t the president say there are 57 cops in Minneapolis who are still on the beat as a result of the stimulus? Also, the federal government is apparently made up of something that isn’t people…Oh and his 9/11 reference just made me realize we went through a whole hour-long presidential speech without mentioning it. It’s a new day!Americans can do anything!(Jindal for America, 2012)

  • Kyle W.

    idreamofskiba, this guy will never be president.Not if he keeps talking like that, anyway.

  • MZ

    God bless us – everyone! What a nob.

  • idreamofskiba

    Hey, guys, did you know that Americans can do anything?

  • GIthePotato

    RACHEL 2016!!!!!

  • Kat

    Rachel is speechless. I had a similar reaction.

  • Alan4s

    Yeah Bobby. Happy Mardi Gras – unless you were one of the 5 who got shot today. I love New Orleans, but it’s not the shining example of the perfect American city.(tubes are real slow tonight)

  • veralynn

    i can’t take it, i need a shower

  • veralynn

    do you think he evern looked at the Presidents speech?? didn’t sound like it

  • http://obamaproject.windonwater.net QueenTiye

    Chris Matthews for the win in the Jindal takedown. Jindal is inbearable. Gah!QT

  • gypsy

    rachel was AWESOME in her response!

  • Kansasdem

    OK, my mind is thinking ……….. caste society = good outcome?????????????

  • Kyle W.

    I imagine we’ll see some conservative criticism of Jindal by tomorrow, for that extremely in-eloquent speech.

  • veralynn

    well it was a step UP from w though…

  • dontpanic23

    Rachel should get another award for her reaction alone.

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    UMMMM I can show you results from the Recovery Plan… ME ME ME ME.. They started on a $1 Million bridge over the Osage River in Tuscumbia, MO the day the bill was signed… True story.. I swear..Also have at least 3 other bridges set to be started in the next few weeks due to it being signed…I have a great Democratic Governor…lol

  • MG

    I realized that I had never heard Jindal speak…I think that his voice is a twangy, goofy, forced mess.”Ah think we learned the lessons of Katrayna- we need good ol’ folks out there, not gubmint.”Brilliant, dude. Brilliant.

  • veralynn

    amen DP

  • SillyGit

    QT -Tweety eviscerated Jindal. That was beautiful.Obama just blows me away. Breathtaking.

  • Kyle W.

    Booyah, Robert Gibbs. Let’s hear him give it to Jindal.

  • Kyle W.

    Dammit, he skimmed right over Jindal. I’ll go watch Gibbs handle Hannity, that clip never gets old. :)

  • GIthePotato

    JIndal was a crash test dummy for the GOP. His is a warning shot of something much scarier and dumber to come.KATRINA?Is this the new 9/11?

  • SillyGit

    TOP SECRET GOP HEALTH CARE PLAN (as mentioned by Bobby)Everyone who is not rich will be shot. Health Care problem solved.That LA asshat used that despicable “the goverment will tell your Doctor what to do” lie again.The people in LA should consider a recall of that devious bastard.

  • Jim

    Alright, so Obama has relieved the GOP of the center, leaving the dark forest of wingnuttery to Huckabee, Palin and Jindal to go to war over. OMG, how I love a bloodbath– at their expense. I do wonder though, what’s left for Romney? Is his play to wait until the Three Horsemen lay torn and bleeding, and then in he comes trying to sound like the GOP Voice Of Reason? Man, I love this stuff!

  • GIthePotato

    I just flipped over to Fixed News and it was shocking to see people liked President Obama and didn’t have huge homophobic hard ons for Bobby Jindal. (That means they didn’t like him)

  • Fanboy

    You know what else wasn’t in Obama’s speech, besides zombies and robots, i mean… No rousing call to arms to fight the growing threat of human animal hybrids… The Bushie must be upset…

  • ElMystico

    >>>That LA asshat used that despicable “the goverment will tell your Doctor what to do” lie again.As opposed to now, when your HMO will try to deny as much coverage as possible. But at least everyone’s covered- oh wait. But it’s still better than government because business always operates more efficiently so naturally, their administrative costs are much less than medicare…Oh wait.

  • TravelAbout

    After Jindall’s comment about the Disney train I tried to find his email online to drop him a note. The Louisiana website doesn’t seem to working at the moment. I think too many people are trying to email him to ask, “WTF was that?”

  • Ax. Rose

    Thank you Jindal for providing me with comedy relief.Did he seriously bring up Katrina repeatedly?Hey Jindal… you know what bureaucracy screwed that one up right? It was your guy who hired some asshat who used to take care of horses.Christ.. are they even trying anymore?

  • Lee

    Jindal rides the short electric train to work.

  • SillyGit

    “what’s left for Romney?”Utah

  • Kansasdem

    Jindal/Palin 2012 please!

  • MG

    Christ.. are they even trying anymore?Posted by: Ax. Rose at February 24, 2009 10:42 PMlol…I think that the recent SNL skit with Dan Ackroyd was more accurate than I thought at the time.

  • Jim

    One thing puzzles, when O. began riffing on healthcare reform, the opposition stood UP, seemingly in loud agreement– WTF?! This can’t be good. Anybody?

  • http://annette-justmylittlepieceoftheworld.blogspot.com/ Annette

    twitter feedanamariecoxMissed last part of the speech but based on the opening think it is safe to say Bobby Jindal did a terrible job selling me a ShamWow.

  • Kansasdem

    Candy Crowley just said that Obama’s “numbers” were about the same as Bush’s during a similar time in 2001!WTF?What’s different between 2001 and now?I must drink more! Lot’s more!

  • veralynn

    ok on The Daily Show thee are 2 preachers saying Obama is either the anti-christ or hitlerunfucking believeable

  • veralynn

    *thereand btw the anti-christ guy is white and the hitler guy is blackthe hitler guy just said he was also a bisexual “you know like bicycle”

  • fe

    I know I often feel like a bicycle.

  • veralynn

    but other than that…nah not too much

  • SensesFail

    Helen finished her review of Ann Coulter’s latest book! It is the most hilarious review I have ever read! Here is an excerpt from the final chapter review:”And whenever you hear about two monkeys and a sloth getting together with a typewriter know that either another Coulter book is about to hit the bookstores or Rush Limbaugh is having an OxyContin hallucination.”http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/

  • http://www.ieatgravel.com/ I Eat Gravel in Alaska

    I can’t believe that shmuck, Jindal, dissed volcano monitoring!

  • SillyGit

    The best part is this is most likely what they’ll be running on, almost verbatim, up through the next presidential election. Now we have 4 years to debunk this crap.

    We don’t need four years. Everything he said was a “Predebunked Republican Talking Point”™ (PRTP). Everything he said was debunked before he said it.If this is the best they have, they have nothing. They are on a High Speed Train to oblivion. I’d like to help increase the speed.

    Good Night All.. It is way past my bed time…Hope you all sleep well

  • SillyGit

    Hell’N Notes is one of the most awesome things I have every read on the intertubes.AnnaMarie Cox makes me very, very hot.(The Git is a sucker for redheads.)Broadway Carl -Bobby Jindal was less than impressive.Obama was Goddamn Awesome!

    I’m sorry I missed it with everyone. I was an hour behind on DVR and didn’t want spoilers.Palin/Jindal 2012!!!What a fucking amateur.

  • LoewLife

    God damn, Just looking at the TV and seeing a democratic President, Vice President and Speaker of the house just makes me JIZZ IN MY PANTS.
