    Second!

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Shit. I screwed that all up.Does anyone here have to write copy, to have it reviewed by more than one person? Does it suck so bad that you want to start screaming obscenities at the top of your lungs, or is that just me?

    Are we not doing blog radio tonight?

  • dswagz

    Ari Fleischer should Burn In Hell.Actually, that would be wayyy too good for him.He should be sentenced to burn Alive, here on Earth.What a lying, skeevey, scummy, shitbag this guy is.To recap:Obama (and America) should thank w every day that we live in a world without Saddam Hussein, or Saddams sons.W “inherited a recession” from Clinton … So he didn’t really leave Obama anything worse than his Dem predecessor left w ….The w misadministration NEVER said a Nookyular threat was imminent; they just stated the ‘fact’ that Saddam was ‘trying’ to acquire nookyular and kemmehkall weapons …w saved us from being attacked again AFTEr 9/11, and “How Dare You” suggest w failed to protect us BEFORE 9/11; “If we get atacked again, are you going to say we got atacked on Obama’s watch?!”If you turn up the audio really really loudly, you can probably hear all 5 of this worms’ hearts beating…

  • ceu

    Paddy put the Matthews-Fleischer brawl up.

  • Lexaburn

    So Matthews beat up on Fleisher tonight, eh? That’s easy enough. I guess the wind changed direction momentarily.I need to check that out, though. I could use a good laugh at a lying-ass Republicon’s expense.Hell, the media dorks let them get away with their rampant fibbing most of the time.

  • dswagz

    Thanks for heads up, ceu.”…America couldn’t wait for Saddam to strike us Again…” -Ari Fliescher

  • jane

    I wouldn’t dick-slap Ari Fleischer with Rush Limbaugh’s artificially enhanced two-inch choad.

  • Jeff

    how bout the interview where michael steele says he’s pro-choice? that oughtta make him even more popular with republicans.

  • dontpanic23

    Jesus, Jane, it’s also defined as his taint? I thought we weren’t allowed to use that word here anymore. oops

  • dontpanic23

    taint = thread killer

  • jane

    Fleischer: “After Sept. 11 how can we take a chance that Saddam might not strike again?”Thanks, fuck nut.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    So Matthews beat up on Fleisher tonight, eh?

    Actually, Matthews didn’t do a very good job beating back the barage of bullshit at all. I think he was so dumbfounded by the ease of Fleischer’s lying.

  • jane

    I think most PTTers are busy banging their heads repeatedly against hard surfaces. Too much so to type. (I am excused because I haven’t been watching news all goddamn day.)

  • jane

    I wish someone would propose legislation making abortions mandatory. Just to monopolize the evening discourse. Legitimately. Goddamnit.

  • dontpanic23

    I am just catching up after corrupting my brain with Morning Shmoe this morning. I read Carl’s (and others’) tweets on this but busily stuck my head in the several hours of Nostradamus and Cayce on History. At least those guys felt that they were telling the truth.Cheney what squads? And I’m surprised?

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    jane, maybe make homosexuality mandatory. That will get a much bigger reaction (and rule out the abortions altogether).

  • gypsy

    i’ve been off the news for a week now. i really think i’m healthier! i can’t stomach the republicans getting away with spewing such shit.

  • dontpanic23

    Gypsy, I think I need to do the same–a news fast–but I’d have to kill the computer along with the tv. I’m not ready to be without the remote and the mouse.

  • Packy

    When does Rod Serling step out w/cigarette in hand?

  • jane

    Kyle, curiously enough, this comes from an article I have had open and was just reading:”Papuan Islanders worried that homosexual males might become pregnant. To ensure that this did not occur, they held ceremonies during which they fed them limes to avoid conception.”(source)

  • dontpanic23

    Perfect image, Packy.Jane, do you really sit and read up on this shit? You should be a tee vee expert on human female non-breeding techniques. On Oxygen. Or is it Lifetime. We?

  • jane

    DP, I read a little bit about a whole lot. Master of none.

  • dontpanic23

    drooling mmmm, cigarette…cigar.Damn, Packy. Thanks a lot.

  • GIthePotato

    I am going to kick the shit out of Ari if I ever see that motherfucker!”How Dare You?!” No motherfucker, How Dare You open your fucking mouth on national television and continue to spend lies about Saddam attacking us again. WTF!!!!?Anywho, I have hurt my brain muscle today. I am trying to write my senior thesis and I want to write my own suicide note instead.

  • dontpanic23

    I’m still trying to figure how your reading lead you to (and from) chubby penises to contraceptives.

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

    Is that what happened.. I don’t watch tweety anymore… but I am not surprized.. he never argues with any of those idiots he just lets them go on and on… just like he did Lott and Armey.

  • dontpanic23

    Joe, step away from the tv.

  • jane

    DP, the word “choad” popped unbidden into my head after watching Ari spitshine George W’s jackboots.

  • GIthePotato

    DP, I have created a 22 page essay of absolute plagiarism and bullshit within an eight hour period.Ari was just the piece of shit that almost sent me over the edge to see The Jesus.*pops Iraqi Veteran cocktail of Zoloft, Vicodine and beer*Hey everybody, I’m doctor Nick.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane, you actually walk around with such things already bouncing around in there, eh. Truly bizarre. I like it.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    jane, how did choad lead you to Papuan contraceptive techniques?

    Randomness: I hate to pick on Krugman because I think a lot of the guy, but I can’t watch this video–the first 2 or 3 seconds make me laugh so hard, he just looks… completely zoned out. And he sort of reminds me of a muppet or something… I dunno. Sorry!

  • jane

    Deeps, I can also walk and chew gum.

  • dontpanic23

    Ah, Joe! A real American education isn’t acquired without at least one major paper being squeezed out your ass in 8 hours or less.

  • GIthePotato

    DP, that isn’t all Jane can do and walk. Ba Doom Cha!

  • jane

    Sheez, Kyle, I’ll draw you a flow chart.You really should have someone check out your short-term amnesia.

  • dontpanic23

    Jane for president (in 8 years). Slogan: “Can walk and chew gum just like the last guy”.

  • jane

    Too many skeletons, and live bodies, in my “closet.”

  • jane

    OTOH, dead men tell no tales. Hmmm…

  • GIthePotato

    Jane, stop calling your vagina a closet.

  • dontpanic23

    Elvis! Heads up. Outta the basement, man.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    jane, I hope I’m right–you said how Ari got you to ‘choad’ but I see nothing in the PTT about how ‘choad’ led to Papuan contraceptive techniques for homosexual men.Though you’re right about my short term memory. It’s not so good.

  • GIthePotato

    I have to apologize for that last comment. I need to just type some childish shit for a couple hours until I call Bob.

  • dontpanic23

    Uh, oh. Git’s not here. Jane?

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Packy – I’m in the middle of a Fleischer post and I hope you won’t mind if I expound on your Rod Serling idea. Probably won’t be up til tomorrow.

  • gypsy

    wtf? bristol and baby daddy split?! that is too good for words! and can i just say shocker! SHOCKER!!!!!

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

    What Keith was hinting at a bit ago..about the death squad type thing.. here is a bit from that interview…”Hersh seemed more troubled by the repetitions of the pattern. The “beautiful thing about our system” is that eventually we get new leaders, he said. “The evil twosome, Cheney and Bush, left,” Hersh said. But he also said “it’s really amazing to me that we manage to get such bad leadership, so consistently.”And he added that both the press and the public let down their guard in the aftermath of 9/11.“The major newspapers joined the [Bush] team,” Hersh said. Top editors passed the message to investigative reporters not to “pick holes” in what Bush was doing. Violations of the Bill of Rights happened in the plain sight of the public. It it was not only tolerated, but Bush was re-elected.”http://www.minnpost.com/ericblackblog/2009/03/11/7310/investigative_reporter_seymour_hersh_describes_executive_assassination_ring

  • jane

    Kyle, “maybe make homosexuality mandatory. That will get a much bigger reaction (and rule out the abortions altogether).”I was just giving an example of gay abortion, sort of.*sigh* never mind. not funny then, not funny now.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Two words: Lori Klausutis.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    @jane: I seriously thought you just happened to already have that page open–you’re crazy like that.

  • jane

    Kyle, I did have that page open. But the choad thing was off the top of my head.

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

    Kyle…Launching pad… Swift Boat Veterans…

  • gypsy

    kyle it’s like you have been in a hangover for the past few days? it’s funny to watch!

  • Kat

    Jane, no one has taught me more about random crap than you. You are a walking (and gum-chewing) public service message.

  • jane

    Kat, I’m just Cliff fucking Clavin. Only slightly more tolerable. (Drinks on me!)

  • Kat

    Cuter too.

  • gypsy

    ha! never knew cliff’s last name. you are the gift that keeps on giving jane!

  • jane

    >>Cuter too.No prickly mustache, for one!

  • dontpanic23

    Norm

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    gyps, I don’t drink so it can’t be a hangover. I’ve got some deadlines hanging over me at work, however, that are probably the root of the problem.

  • Kat

    Meghan McCain sounds like a total Valley girl. I expect to run into her at the mall or something.

  • jane

    I doubt Meghan and I would ever shop at the same store. Except an ABC store.**liquor store, yankees

  • GIthePotato

    “I have to go make money for GE” HA!!!!Please for the love of my mutual fund, say that more often Rachel!

  • gypsy

    we love you kyle. well, most of us. ;) kat, baby mccain makes me want to beat her up. she may really be that sweet but it comes across as irritating and fake.

  • gypsy

    they don’t know “abc store” in georgia either. i was so young i didn’t know they all weren’t called “abc store”. hehe…i’m a quick learner when it comes to getting my sip on though!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Interesting take, Gyps. I was going to say that it’s nice to see a moderate and that she realizes what is fucked up in her party and can call it out. I have some new found respect for her. I just thought she was an airhead, but she’s not.

  • Kat

    Ms. McCain isn’t exactly striking me as the sharpest tool in the proverbial shed. But you know, she’s standing up for the same political party that puts Joe the Plumber on stage, so I guess it makes sense.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    She’s a lot smarter than Michael Steele, that’s for sure.

  • AdyLeigh

    On Rachel now: “Because, like sher, I hate pork, but I can’t make a comment on the economy b/c like I don’t really know much about it…like fer sher, and such as…”That was like a totally useless interview, fer sher.

  • Kat

    Really, Carl? I appreciate her calling out Ann Coulter, that’s for sure, but it just seemed that for anything with substance, she was parroting talking points.

  • GIthePotato

    Ady,I really liked the honesty. It was cool with me. Plus, I want to see her knock out Ann Coulter.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Ady, I like, totally, couldn’t agree more, fer sher.

  • AdyLeigh

    At least Ms. McCain is smarter than her mother. Bristol Palin? Not so much…

  • Kat

    She’s a lot smarter than Michael Steele, that’s for sure.True that, Carlos. So is my 8 year old. :D

  • GIthePotato

    Seriously,I am a fucking college student surrounded by 18-22 year children and Megan’s “for sures” and “likes” weren’t bad. This is the product of the Bush education system. Lets see if Obama can do better.

  • gypsy

    well, i’m not watching her if she is on something right now so my desire to hit her remains the same. esp for that mccain bus thing she did during the election. also, her rambling about not wanting a guy like “daddy” or obama but the guy has to be like her dad etc.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Kat – what talking points? I’m at work so I paid about 75% attention, but it seemed to me she was pretty honest about how fucked up her party is and how freaky CPAC was.Except for the economy question, which she then backed off from, I think she did well. I wasn’t thinking Valley Girl, I was thinking, how would this come across if I were reading the transcipt?

  • GIthePotato

    Goddamnit, lay off the chubby chick. She is mine!

  • AdyLeigh

    Also this just in:SC Governor Mark Sanford Refuses to Stimulate His Own Wife.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    GI,
    I’m not saying she was that heavy on the fershers, but there was very little substance there.

    I also get the idea that she may be suddenly out-and-about intentionally, as a means of toning down the party’s Limboulter image; given her surname, she’s sure to get a little attention.

  • GIthePotato

    Come on PTTers, she isn’t really that smart, has daddy issues and a little weight problem. This is called easy prey and she is RICH!

  • Kat

    Hmmm…I’m noticing something important here….le boys (i.e. GI & Carl) like Ms. McCain. La femmes do not. Epiphany!! Meghan McCain has magic tits!!!

  • idreamofskiba

    i didn’t think she was that bad, either.P.S. I

  • AdyNagy

    GI, chill out…I was like totally kidding about Ms. McCain.Kyle, like you made me totally sick with whatever kinda rot is like seriously goin’ around down here, fer sher. So, I like totally blame you.

  • gypsy

    yes kyle, and what does that say about the party? meghan mccain to the rescue? wtf?!

  • jane

    they can do magic??? *looks down shirt*

  • idreamofskiba

    meant to say ..P.S. I love Rachel lots and lots.(Except I made one of that “less than 3″ hearts and apparently you can’t do that.)

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    No one caught any rot from me, dammit! :) jane, spell ‘attic’ while you do that.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    Hmmm…I’m noticing something important here….le boys (i.e. GI & Carl) like Ms. McCain. La femmes do not. Epiphany!! Meghan McCain has magic tits!!!

    I knew someone was gonna go there, but if that’s the case, then yes, girls can be catty.

  • dontpanic23

    Carl, I thought she did well. And she wasn’t afraid Rachel would bite like all the other republics out there. The Valley girl thing was annoying but she definitely had brains to back it up. And I’d have balked at the economy question too. She was visibly embarrassed at not being able to answer it and I sorta felt for her–I red up at the drop of a hat and would never go on camera–but hell, how many non-politicians (or even politicians) could truly tackle that issue and sound intelligent (or sane).

  • AdyLeigh

    Kyle, stop it. You must chill! I will not have you apologizing for like totally agreeing with my offensive comments.She’s blonde and has big tits, so I get it. She’s like totally awesome, y’all.

  • jane

    Kyle, heh. My inner first grader so shoots a spitball at you.

  • Kat

    Carl – I’ll be interested to read the transcript, because her Valley Girl delivery did distract me, I must admit. I’ll give her the comments about Coulter – that was definitely a positive. But the comments about needing to attract young people to the Repub Party smacked of a Michael Steele giving the Party a “hip-hop makeover” feel.

  • gypsy

    >>>spell ‘attic’ while you do thatkekeke…boys are pervs.carl, show me one instance where i have been caty with someone who didn’t deserve it? i mean jane is a bitch and kat is a slut but they earned it! ;)

  • GIthePotato

    WOOT!!!Ady figured it out!!!Hey, I need a question for Bob. I have nothing to do tonight and will stay on hold for 3 hours.

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    DP – I gotcha. I tend to think the valley girl thing is a product of your environment. She wasn’t Paris Hilton.To me, it’s a dialect thing, like seeing a Chinese person with an English accent. I’m just saying I was expecting a complete airhead and I didn’t see it.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    I ♥ Rachel even more when she talks about pot.

    Ady, shoot a spitwad at jane for me and we’ll be even.

  • Kat

    Joe – ask if they think Meghan McCain has magic tits.

  • Kat

    I love all things related to pot, but I kept snickering at that dude’s name: Mirken? A wee bit close to ‘Merkin,’ wouldn’t we say?

  • jane

    >>jane is a bitchThank you! I’ll be here all week.

  • GIthePotato

    I was thinking,”Any ideas if the GOP will have some success in 2010 or will it be a landslide victory for the D’s”or”Bob, you have to run for US Senator against Arlen Specter because he has two primary candidates that are ultra conservative. If one of the neocons wins the primary a moderate or bluedog dem can win.”

  • Kat

    i mean jane is a bitch and kat is a slut but they earned it!Damn straight. I worked hard for that title. And when I say “worked hard”…… ;)

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Merkins make me think of Peter Sellers first, then pubic wigs. Peter Sellers is much better than a pubic wig.

  • jane

    Goddamn Fat One collided with the remote and wiped out my DVR memory somehow. AAAUUUUGH.

  • GIthePotato

    BITCH!

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    If we need a topic, I’d suggest the CNBC business news clowns using their bully pulpit to aid and abet their stock pump and dump schemes. They use TV, must people just pump and dump using Yahoo stock group boards.This is related to the lovely Cramer v. Stewart war. Can’t wait ’til tomorrow night.

  • gypsy

    jane calling you a bitch is my “i love you”! play your cards right and i might say “i hate you” with a punch to the face!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    But the comments about needing to attract young people to the Repub Party smacked of a Michael Steele giving the Party a “hip-hop makeover” feel.

    Yeah, but she’s 24 and a professed moderateRepublican. Why wouldn’t she want people her age to join her? I didn’t get the Steele thing because she wasn’t totally “off the hook” or “hip-hop.” That was completely gimmicky – she comes off as sincere. I may disagree with her, but it seems that if I had a conversation with her we would disagree without being disagreeable.

    Speaking of agree to disagree, BOB AND LEE!!!

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    gypsy, you’re a bitch!Ack.. it sounds terrible when I try to communicate my affection.

  • AdyLeigh

    Ask yourselves this question: What if that had been Chelsea Clinton? Huh? Do you think the Republicans would be falling all over themselves to compliment her or NOT to insult her? Here’s a hint: NO WAY!

  • SillyRatfacedGit

    If you haven’t noticed CNBC has turned rabidly corporatist since O won the election. I think we might see Cramer goose-stepping onto the Daily Show.

  • AdyLeigh

    You’re a bitch too, Kyle.

  • gypsy

    oh hell no kyle. you can’t call us bitches! who the fuck do you think you are?! ;)

  • jane

    Joe, the latter question. The former sounds like an entry to a snoozefest. Or bring up finance. You know finance. (And Cramer and Jon Stewart and Scarborough and such as.)

  • Kat

    Did I just hear music about robots?

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Ady says I’m a bitch too, gyps, so I’m sticking by my statement.

  • Kat

    Cenk Uygur wrote a column today on the HuffPo about CNBC.

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Don’t click it!

    You’re, like, totally gonna click that, ain’t ya?

  • jane

    Kyle’s a WHORE

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    Kat, I just read that a short while ago. Highlight:”That is what CNBC continues to miss to this day as they try to defend themselves by saying their words were taken out of context. The problem was the context!”

  • http://www.thenewwearsoff.com/ Kyle

    WHORES get laid a lot, right?

  • gypsy

    kyle you link me to coulter again and you will be without a poking stick!

  • http://www.broadwaycarl.blogspot.com Broadway Carl™

    What if that had been Chelsea Clinton?

    So now I’m supposed to base my opinion on the basis on how the other side would react?Are we taking the thread to the radio post?

  • Kat

    Goddamn, Kyle, my eyes are burning! I could have gone my entire life without seeing that.

  • jane

    Have You Clicked A Blogwhore Today?

  • AdyLeigh

    Broadway Carl, of course you shouldn’t. I was just being an immature little bitch (like Kyle). I think you should base your opinion on whatever you want to…
