at the stroke of midnight, should we say happy new year, or happy holiday…..just wondering
I think Blagojevich is a cagey man. Now we have Scary Reid saying he won’t allow a black man to replace Obama in the same seat. Remember Blagojevich wanted a special election. Illinois and Senate Donkey worried the peeps would
This is great drama.

Puddy Doesn’t Forget Libtard Web Site Stupidity…
Say, Puddy, I’ve wanted to say that it was very sad to hear about your friend’s loss of his son. This Christmas found you and your friend sharing the deepest imaginable sorrow and grief. You, your friend, his family and son were all in my prayers. God bless you, Puddy, for being there for them. Well done.
@3 Won’t allow a black man? Interesting, the way you put that. Sounds more like something Cynical or Troll would come up with. You channeling those guys?
@3: Puddyisstupid….Boehlert is dead on, and you “rebut” him by citing ratings? What kind o stupid is that? Pretty damnned stupid if you ask me.
And really…that stuff about “not forgetting”? You have got to be kidding!!! You are inchoherent: Puddy Doesn’t Forget Libtard Web Site Stupidity…
You are the stupid. It burns. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…snicker.
Yaaawwwn. Our victory was so overwhelming last November it’s getting pretty boring to kick the barely twitching corpse of wingnuttery. It’s going to be sparse commenting from me until Jan 20.
My condolences to your friend’s family Stupes. It’s a terrible thing for a parent to put their child in the ground. Very honorable of you to support them in their darkest hour.
Now maybe, just maybe you might just feel a twinge of regret about that chimpanzee you enabled twice. He put a lot of kids in the ground with his dumbass decisions.
I am a conservative. If I am poor, it is somebody else’s fault, probably Barbara Streisand’s. If I am rich, it is all due to my individualistic efforts, the bootstraps I have stuck up my ass, and the lick I have spittled.

@1 In your case, I think we should say, “Fuck you, loser!”
@7 “barely twitching corpse of wingnuttery”
Absolutely the best kind of wingnuttery, and it should be kicked often and hard!
Mrs. Rabbit is in stitches because Jay Leno read a classified ad on his show for “assfault paving equipment.” Whoever wrote that stupid ad has to be a stupid fucking illiterate Republican who can’t spell! Because this looks like wingnut spelling for sure. This classified ad also proves to so-called “liberal media” is actually controlled by the right, because a liberal proofreader never would have let this excrescence see print.
@11, gee wiz, rog, i was just asking if i should say happy holidays on new years, you know, like we have to do all season, no need to get your undies in a stich.
@8 Most rich people get that way by being born that way, so don’t blame your poverty on other people — it was your responsibility to choose rich parents!
@9 If you voted for that idiot, the blood is on your hands.
@14 There’s no problem with my undies, but I have standards that I have to uphold.
by the way, just finished watching fox news, i know how some of you guys think they’re biased. well this was kind of funny, when they did their report on the gaza fighting, you woulda thought it was cnn. even fox bows to aipac.
Standards? Since when?
A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods when the bear turns to the rabbit and asks ‘Excuse me, do you ever have any trouble with shit sticking to your fur?’
The rabbit replies ‘No’.
So the bear picks up the rabbit and promptly wipes his ass with him…“

Apparently you’ve drank from the Media Morons till too much…
Here is the kicker line: “Why would investors and day traders in search of reliable business information turn from CNBC over to the Fox brand, which is so well-known for passing along one-sided information?”
Who says they are one sided? How is this so “well-known”? Libtard morons like Boehlert?
Here’s a wake up call for you P-ASSey (Like P-Diddy). Scott Rasmussen polled America over the past few months. His results consistently showed that a majority believed MSM reporters give Republicans less favorable coverage than Democrats. If you did your homework you’d know these facts. Somehow they continually escape that small Neanderthal sloped cranial orifice you possess.
Or you forgot the Obama’s “boycott” campaign of WFTV, when they asked real questions of Joe Biden and his gaffes?
Fox gives both sides of the story. Only Joe Scarborough is on MSNBC. Where is the counter to Keith I Sucked At ESPN Olbermann or Rachel MadCow Maddow? And those “conservatives” on CNN? Why did Glenn Beck leave?
But you know what? We all know CNN didn’t capture the ratings crown P-ASSey.
If you were paying attention last fall Drew Griffin, CNN reporter, told Sarah Palin that if she had made the Joe Biden “international crisis” comment he would have “never let her get away with it.” Yet the HuffPost blasted Drew Grffin. Now that’s really curious…
Why can’t P-ASSey figger it out?
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
To Steve and yelling loser boy above:
Thank you for the sentiment. I appreciate your kind words. Even though we don’t agree on politics, I can clearly see you both possess good qualities.
Steve, did you see how Scary Harry Land Deal Reid and Dick Where’s My Turban Durbin got all huffy about the Blagojevich announcement?
I thought our US Constitution covered the qualifications for a US Senator. Nothing those two Donkey said holds water against the US Constitution.
But wait a minute… Didn’t libtards from sea to shining sea claim Bush was trampling the US Constitution? And where is the “peep” from P-ASSey and the gang over these “smart” senators comments?
What happens if Blagojevich is innocent? Isn’t it innocent until proven guilty? Hmmm… guess they should have held that special election after all…
I’m off today, getting in my last medical appointments before my 2009 deductable kicks in again effective at midnight.
So I will take this last moment of 2008 on HA to wish everyone here a Happy New Year. This includes those I mostly agree with (Roger Rabbit, YLB, Steve, Barelli, etc.,), and those I don’t (Troll, Cynical, Puddy, Piper, etc.)
May 2009 be much better than this past year, for all of you.
So are 99 whiteys going to stand at the doors of the US Senate and refuse to seat a black man into their private club? Are Reid and the other white democrats going refuse to allow a minority to enter their special place. Is Obama going to stand side by side with Harry Reid and Patty Murray? Do they have no shame?

The Feds were shaking down Bernie Madoff and asked him point blank…”Where did you get the idea to pay early investors with the money from late investors??”
Madoff replied…”From Christine Gregoire and the Washington State Democrats…that’s how they handle the Washington State Retirement Fund!!”
@21 Here’s wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.
@23 Thank you very much. I hope the new year is good to you.
@20 “past few months” “MSM reporters give Republicans less favorable coverage”
Understandable, Puddy, as there wasn’t much going on with Republicans these past few months that deserved any favorable coverage.
Cynical: This whole Blagojevich thing is a tempest in a teapot. Give me one quote from the man asking for money for the Senate seat.
You can’t.
You tried to smear Obama. Didn’t work. Waiting for the next dirty trick.
Cynical: Imagine Vitter and that chirping clown from Idaho saying Burris may not be moral enough to seve in the Senate with them.
I see you’ve already been to the righty blogs for your marching orders.
@30 Right . . .this is why the Senate Democratic leadership is falling all over itself to support Blagojevich’s Senate successor:
Democrats Seek to Block Appointee to Obama’s Seat
Within an hour of learning on Tuesday that Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois was about to name a Senate successor to President-elect Barack Obama, the Senate Democratic leadership drew a clear line in the sand: Anyone appointed by Mr. Blagojevich, the embattled Illinois chief executive, would not be accorded Senate membership.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12.....ss.html?hp
David, trying to provide facts for headless lucy’s consumption is a fruitless activity.
And for “it” to claim we go to righty blogs for our marching orders is a hoot. I throw up lefty blog shit on HA every day. That keeps me busy enough.
re 32: The Democrats are trying to distance themselves from Blagojevich. Republicans have smeared him beyond belief — and Democratic politicians are standing up to it with their usual spinelessness.
PudWax: I see you never responded to #26, where I prove that Republicans from the top down are corrupt crooks:

Headless-
We have no idea how deep Fitzgerald has dug into the corrupt Chicago/Hyde Park political machine…of which Obama is a part of.
YOU are “speculating” there is nothing connecting Barrack or Michelle Obama to any questionable activities….like pay raises & promotions for Michelle @ the Hospital.
I am “speculating” that with Rezko and all the other dirty bastards in the Chicago/Hyde Park corrupt political machine…it is amazing the Obama’s are clean (almost unbelievable).
Time will tell.
So far, Fitzgerald has only spoken about 1 very specific issue.
Also headless…why are the Senate Democrats willing to reject BlaSonOfABitch’s choice of a black man for Obama’s successor IF as you say, there is no proof.
Better call Harry Reid…let us know his logic.
re 35: I just gave you a ‘fact’, WaxMan, about crooked Republicans.
What do you make of that fact?
rhp6033 and all HA leftists:
I wish you all a great 2009.
Blagojevich’s actions are equivalent to ‘Earmarks’ but because Blagojevich did not know he was doing, he got caught!
Congress in its ultimate wisdom should pass a bill and Obama should sign it that totally outlaws any and all Earmarks and related or similar actions for not only Congress but all levels of government. Of course, knowing politicians, they would quickly find ways to weasel around that bill’s definition of Earmarks :-(
34. headless lucy spews:
Actual, there are plenty of DEMOCRATS that have smeared BlaSonOfABitch….asking him to resign based on those tape recordings and allegations.
Personally, I cannot wait to see all this play out in a Court of Law. Let’s get all the dirty laundry out in the open air. I’m sure it will stink…badly.
Just look at Rezko!
Leftists: You have what you wanted. Let’s see if Congressional Donk learned the lessons of why 1994 was a watershed year.
Yes, that bold comment is even for the leftist whack-jobs. You know who you are… you claim to be conservative with your kids at home but are a complete leftist whack-job here on HA.
Hopefully in 2009 FricknFrack will finally answer my question about how she was taught to dislike black peeps. I’m trying to understand the liberal mind. But I won’t hold my breath.
headless@35: Why? When I asked you to prove stuff you ran like a dog with it’s tail tween it’s leg.
re 36: “We have no idea how deep Fitzgerald has dug into the corrupt Chicago/Hyde Park political machine…of which Obama is a part of.”
Typical right wing ‘we have secret information’ blather. We saw how well you can keep secrets with the Valerie Plame case. If you guys had any solid information, you’d have dithering and hysterical talking heads blabbing endlessly about it.
You guys aren’t even men…. Bunch of hysterical wusses.
re 42: Since you state that as a fact, give me an instance, Mocha-JO.
re 44: Thought I’d give you a reason to blither about ‘racism’.
But, I only call you “Mocha-JO” with brotherly affection.
@33 Well, just to illustrate how little the Democrats thought of the charges, Howard Dean rushed this statement of support out immediately after the charges were filed:
“The arrest of and complaint against Gov. Blagojevich raises serious concerns about his ability to effectively represent the people of Illinois. The conduct alleged represents a disgraceful abuse of the public trust. In the interest of the people of Illinois and all Americans, he should resign immediately. If he does not, I hope the Illinois legislature will take action.”
Headless is really arguing, perhaps not so clearly, that there’s been a rush to judgment and trampling of rights . . . by fellow Democrats.
@19 Cripes, you actually came up with something that’s funny — I assume you got that joke from the New Yorker, because you’re too dumb to think of it yourself …
@20 A network that pretends rightwing bullshit is news is neither unbiased nor a news medium.
@20 (continued) To put it bluntly, Faux Noise is a political blog, the equivalent of HorsesAss with a broadcast license.
@27 I’m still getting paid, Cynicalidiot.
Me, End Earmarks. Not the Donkey way. If you remember because Puddy posted it, John I Hate The Marines Murtha received a standing ovation on 2-27-08 at his yearly fundraiser for lobbyists.
Nancy Stretch Pelosi ran on the 2006 platform of ending earmarks. Harry Reid somewhat demurred. But alas, Donkey members know the only way to keep Congress would be to bribe the public with more pork. Cut the pork and say bye-bye goober to your election chances. So $5,453,260,079 in House and Senate Donkey pork for 2008.
If you HAers’ remember, (most don’t though) Republican Senator James DeMint of South Carolina offered a Senate bill amendment on 3-13-08 to impose a one-year earmark moratorium. As always pork beats talk as the amendment lost 29-71.
But then again Congressional Donkey prove they are the pork kings (and queens). In 2008 there were 11,610 projects appropriated. This represents a 337% escalation over the 2,658 appropriated projects in 2007. The $17.2 billion is a 30% escalation over 2007 total of $13.2 billion.
@31 What they really mean is he’s not white enough to serve in the Senate with them.
@36 Typical rightwing “assumed guilty until proven innocent” crap. Cynical, let me ask you something. You keep tell us how much you have invested, and how you’re retired and living in Montana on your invetments, so honestly now, aren’t you glad that Obama instead of McCain will be in charge of the economy 3 weeks from now? I mean, really now, McCain even admits he isn’t interested in economics and doesn’t know anything about it, and with the U.S. and global financial systems falling apart and some pundits speculating we might be on the cliff edge of another Great Depression, deep down inside aren’t you glad that Obama instead of McCain won the election? After all, it was Republican economic policies that brought us to the cliff, so aren’t you secretly glad that Republicans won’t be pushing the economic levers from now on? I sure am! But then, I’m smarter and better informed than you, too — I’m an urbane rabbit, and you’re nothing but a Montana goatfucker.
re 46: You are correct. That is a failing of the Democrats which you exploit to full effect.
But, what I want to know is what the poopy-pants, diaper-wearing whoremonger of a Republican senator from Louisiana thinks about this situation.
Scott Rasmussen polled America over the past few months. His results consistently showed that a majority believed MSM reporters give Republicans less favorable coverage than Democrats.
Why the fuck shouldn’t they?!??!!!
http://www.republicanoffenders.com/
@45: And… I’ll continue to call you a political idiot with Christian love of course.
@55: Clueless idiot, is that all you’ve got? Of course teach, he’s a broken record…
@54: You mean Mary Landrieu changed parties?
@51 Earmarks are a piss in the bucket. About $18 billion a year, roughly equal to what Bush just gave General Motors. (Talk about earmarks!) But if ending earmarks makes ya happy, yeah, go ahead and end ’em, provided you never ask us for anything else (like, fer instance, the additional $300 billion of tax breaks for the rich that McCain wanted).
@54 Blagojevich most likely is a corrupt piece of shit, who happens to call himself a “Democrat,” but I notice that Democrats are in the forefront of efforts to remove him from office and prevent him from appointing Obama’s successor. This is in startling contrast to the Republican way of doing things, which is to sweep their corruption under the carpet, repeal the ethics rules, and appoint an airhead like Doc Hastings to make sure they’re not enforced.
@44: Start with 9/9/05 and move forward.
@56 We love you, too, pudpie — in the same spirit that Cynical loves his goats. What I mean is, what would we do to amuse ourselves on this blog without you to kick around?
re 55: That’s quite a list!
But, don’t forget, a Democratic congressman from Louisiana took a $90,000 bribe from an FBI agent. So, in the WingNutz view, it’s all the same.
Do you think Tom DeLay would have turned down that bribe?
@43:
Why are you still dwelling on Democrat Richard Armitage? Let it go headless. Armitage apologized, saying he didn’t know she was covert… Did you miss his memo on CNN? Google it.
But yelling loser boy forgets to tell all of us he he loved the Bernie Ward show when he lived in CA.
Who’s Bernie Ward? You mean you forgot already?
@63:
More bullshit speculation from the big bullshit artist itself. How about Harry Reid? He knows a good land deal when he sees one. Would Harry take the bribe?
Puddy, just wondering, how’s the experiment with the three ice cubes going? The one that Cynical told you about?

Yes moving at the same pace they used for William The Freezer Jefferson…
Puddy–
Headlice is in denial, as usual.
He believes Obama is untouchable.
He believes Obama will further is mindless, “Atheist Progressive” causes.
I don’t know how deep Fitzgerald has and will go. I do know Fitz’ comments to date do not absolve Obama of much of anything.
Fitz would love to take Obama down with the rest of the Chi-Town hoodlums.
My guess is there is something to Michelle Obama’s miraculous, massive pay raises & promotions and her hubby’s political success.
Time will tell.
he loved the Bernie Ward show when he lived in CA.
Where the fuck does this come from?
What “corner” are you in now fool?
Only one corner relevant to this dumbass jibe – the PuddySilly corner.
yelling loser boy – did you look up pervert Bernie Ward?
He’s your hero.
@53 Typical rightwing “assumed guilty until proven innocent” crap.
————————–
Curious observation since fellow Democrats wasted absolutely no time in demanding Blagojevich resign based on “alleged” misconduct. Again:
“The arrest of and complaint against Gov. Blagojevich raises serious concerns about his ability to effectively represent the people of Illinois. The conduct alleged represents a disgraceful abuse of the public trust. In the interest of the people of Illinois and all Americans, he should resign immediately. If he does not, I hope the Illinois legislature will take action.”
– Howard Dean
Notice how the alleged misconduct becomes an abuse of public trust? Nobody has led the charge against Blagojevich with greater fervor than the Democrats themselves, who have left no stone unturned to make this problem disappear.
57 – Ohhh. It’s so boring for you to face Republican crimes and if the “librul MSM” reports on them they’re “biased”.
Wake up and smell the coffee fool – Nov 4.
But no it’s time to change the subject to Bernie Ward. Is he in jail for committing a crime? Good. Apparently the system works, even in “librul” Caaaleeefuuurneeeaaa.
Did the MSM report it? You bet asshole.
I’m blinded by the light from your silly ass tinfoil hat. Loser.
Stupes. We heard for years about how holier than thou you right wingers are.
It was nothing but bullshit.
Probably go back to

@79 RickyD obviously has goats on the brain. Sigh, Republicans and their complete inability to quit with the Psych 101 projection thing. It gets old. At least we can still use it to glean just what it is that they’re up to. First it was treason, then Godlessness, and now, sigh, goats.
you guys are still rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. its not dems vs repubs. do bush and obama sound different when it came to giving 700 billion to the shysters on wall street? do they sound differnt when israel is kiiling innocent palestinians and they’re both reading from the approved script that its hamas’ fault. do they sound different to you?

If there was a problem, what happened and who went to jail?
Earmarks – What a disgusting part of Congress and potentially illegal if the background conversations about them were transparent (which they are not) (and Roger – The totals are irrelevant! It is the process that is the problem!)
The Seattle Times has a very good article at:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....orm31.html
“Congress this past year said it had cut earmarks dramatically. But The Seattle Times examined the defense bill and found that Congress failed to disclose $3.5 billion of them — 40 percent of the total — because it used a new, more narrow definition of earmark.”
Blagojevich used the same process as ‘Earmarks’ to try to ‘sell’ Obama’s Senate seat but failed in the process because of his lack of experience as a politician to hide his background conversations which are illegal.
