Hmm, you mean like this one...

VP lauds Obama's choice of national security team - Yahoo! News

The kiss of death?? Cheney approves of BO's choice for national security team...what a good news bad news sort of notice that is....

[Jet Gorgon]

Nobody's said anything about Biden's dog pick. Love those Democrats. Not a shelter doggie, but a pure-bred German shepherd. Uh huh. Guess the BO kids won't be visiting the Bidens. Wanna hazard a guess on the dog's name? How about George? Oh, I named a kitty George once. Poor thing was adopted by libbies who tied him to a stake in their garden.

[Jet Gorgon]

Oooh, BO picks Pastor Warren to present the invocation at the inauguration. (How do you do that ululation sound?) Flicked thru the net news when I got home and far left libbie net MSNBC's Rachel Minnow was furious. Typical reaction for a bull dyke. But how do you fit gays into a mainstream religion? Mebbe he shoulda picked a muslim cleric or a rabbi. Hmmm, their religions don't accept gays either. So why pick on Christians? Hilarious choice. Guess BO is trying to pacify the evangelicals. Well, they do have more votes than the gay community.

Then tha damn car bailout. News emphasis on cutting exec bonuses, the jets and oh ya, like an afterthought, wage negotiations. Heck, the first two are a drop in the bucket compared to the union payouts. Showed a few union workers who couldn't even speak properly saying they already gave too much. FO.

And, then BO's Labour Secretary pick. Well, hello union land USA and bye bye secret ballots for unionising a shop.

[Jet Gorgon]

^ What's wrong with this, Norts? This info is mainstream (with my opinion), or do I need several links for those who don't read any news anymore? I always add some candy for those who don't want to say a bad word about you know who.

See, even Cheney can be above the partisan bad-mouthing some here insist on indulging in.

One possible reason would be that this is the Obama news thread...
The other reason is, that such idle gossip's got naught to do with politics.

Any comments on Michelle's wardrobe or what the kids might or might not wear for school, Jet?

[Jet Gorgon]

^ The Biden dog fits here coz he beat BO in getting a puppy.

Hopefully the chicks will not wear those just sucked blood and black vampire getups again.

As for the rest, guess you're not up on the news, Spiffy.

[Panda]

Some really deep and meaningful dialogue coming from Jet here now.
Cant wait to hear the next installment.

[Jet Gorgon]

^ Yep, focus on the libbie press fuzzy news about the dogs and the dress, Panda (I add it for all you lala land libbies). I'm cracking up laughing over all the Chicago-style corruption that should soon be linked to Rahm at least. Where's that transparency BO promised throughout his campaign? 5555555 He's pulled the wool over your collective libbie eyes well and good. Just like he's done to the gay/lesbos over Pastor Warren at the inauguration. And lets see what porkie projects BO's gonna put that extra $800 bil into. Oh dear, glad I didn't move Stateside just yet.

[spiff]

Isn't it you who has been nuttering on about dogs, dresses, lesbos and assorted titbits from talk-radio or whatever you listen too while hoovering your bedsit or clipping your toe-nails, darling?

[Jet Gorgon]

^ 555 Well, I see none of you libbies have responded to the bigger issues. Still in the messiah bubble -- nooooo, he couldn't have cheated or talked to Blago, uh oh, he's hired a union-backer labour sec, he's against pork but is adding at least another $800 bil to his fiscal stimulus pkg when he gets into office, or what about gay/lesbian issues and Warren. Oh dear, your big fluffy bubble of comfort is starting to melt. Dam, those dam libbies are supposed to be so honest and pure. Too bad Blago's a Dem, eh?
Here's the touchy feely from the libbie press today: BO and fam are off to Hawaii for the hols. Awwwwwww.

Maybe some "libbie" might make the effort to comment if you presented those issues?
Presented in an informative way, with sources other than The Onion or your own disconnected ramblings.

Isn't there a Blago thread already, btw?

Where there is an "issue" to discuss I believe there has been response from both the libbies, centrists and conservatives. Responding to conclusions extrapolated from assumption without any semblance of proof are not likely to get any serious response. Those who feel compelled to trash McCain, Palin, Biden, America, or Obama without something more substantial than their own preconcieved unreseached opinin deserve the responses they get.

We all have opinions but your responses are a case study in extreme partinsinship and stubborn inflexabilty. No matter what a Republican does it is defensable and carries no "wrong" doing on their part. When an individual who happens to be a Democrat does anything, they are guilty, even by association, of everything from terroism, corruption, flip flopping and the eventual cause of the downfall of America.

Snap!!

[spiff]

Anything in there you'd like anyone to comment on?

Seems to me you're quite happy rambling on as a running commentary on what you've come across while "flicking thru the net". Quite amusing at times, but it doesn't provide any info one could base a reply on.

I do not watch the same titbits on the news as you do.
MSNBC a "far left libbie net"? Oh really? Than Rachel Minnow must be a "bull dyke". Oh well, if you say so...
"Mebbe he shoulda picked a muslim cleric or a rabbi." Yep, that would be a realistic option in the US.

Not worth addressing any of this drivel, sorry.

Oh, boy, you are in lala land if you don't know that.

[panama hat]

Oh dear, she's losing it big time now and doesn't even have her fellow neo-cons chiming in as she has become too embarrassing.

Issues are not a problem commenting on, but as Norton mentioned . . . they deserve more than just unintelligent throw-away lines
