Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
I want to see a copy of her transcript. I want to see what that says her degree is in.
Then we’ll know if she was lying or not.
You, troll, are a twenty-four carat fuckhead.
Jesus…what an ass you are.
@2
I’m an ass for wanting to see what her transcript says her degree is in?
@3
No, you’re an ass for still thinking she’s lying. Half the animals in the zoo are smarter than you.
Troll @ 1:
Nobody gives a fuck what *you* want to see. Your vote is counted.
Nice video Goldy (sounded like a soap commercial with the music), but I didn’t hear this asshat claim that Darcy Burner had a “degree in Economics” from Harvard…as you and Burner have suggested she does. How come? He could have cleared this all up by saying those simple words, but didn’t.
Reason why? She doesn’t have a degree in economics from Harvard.
Otherwise, keep eating those sour grapes like a good lad.
@4
All I said was I would like to see what her transcript says she has a degree in. Does anyone know the exact wording of her degree on her transcript?
I think that dude in the video is back peddling. If he doesn’t want to be ostracized at Harvard, he better say nice things about the Democratic candidate.
Rick D: You and your lyin’ sheriff can take your AA degrees that pretend to be from a four year school and all it will add up to is more stupid.
Even I was fooled by the ol’ sheriffs website and then his congressional reference. Nowhere on his website does he say AA and the congressional record said BA.
I call that a lie. Darcy may have stretched things by saying she had degrees in both – but she definitely had the coursework in both.
Shuruff dunderhead could not have gotten into Harvard and apparently could not even get into a four year school.
It is time that the most educated county in Washington got a representative that actually understqnds the issues and doesn’t hide the way he votes. Only an intellectual coward would hide his votes like Reichert and pretend to be what he is not.
It looks like Darcy Burner had a pretty substantial Economics education from Harvard. Their courses are like the equivalent of 4 semester hours or 6 quarter hours at other universities, although Harvard doesn’t use “hours” itself. 32 courses are needed to graduate.
Burner had five courses in Economics itself, which is 20 semester hours worth, plus two math courses that Economics requires, which is another 8 semester hours, for a total of 28 semester hours.
I think an actual major in Economics (as opposed to “concentration”) only requires seven courses in Economics itself in the current Harvard catalog.
@ 9
Yet he’s been able to get top billing on Goldy’s HA site?
Apparently Goldy’s a big fan since he has his ads to your left and at the top of this backwater blog. That must really piss you hayseeds off till no end that your own puppet master is a whore to Congressman Reichert.
The jokes on you kiddies.
@7: Troll
All I would like to see is you asking the same questions about:
Why McCain is lying about Obama raising taxes?
why McCain is lying about running a smear campaign and robocalls?
Why Sarah Palin is a serial liar about the bridge to nowhere, earmarks, troopergate and her supposed “executive” experience (the Wasilla mayor does not even run the fire dept. of the schools)?
Or maybe about why Reichert is voting two ways on the same issues in order to look good but still support the republicans on the crucial votes when needed.
I call that dishonest.
@10
What does her transcript say her degree is in? Exact wording, please.
So what’s the point, Pope: maybe it wasn’t a real lie but only a white lie? How can you lefties defend her for what any reasonable person would conclude was a lie? Not “stretching the truth” or “exaggeration”. This type of lie in a job interview is enough to get any applicant for a professional job either not hired (or fired if discovered after the hire). You hold your elected representatives to a pretty low standard.
Just admit that she lied and “move on”.
Actually, I enjoy looking at Reichert’s forced smile and anticipating that his pathetic career will be over.
And Rick – I appreciate the hayseed comment coming form an avowed idiot like you. Only an idiot could parrot the failed republican policies like you do. Only an idiot could want tocontinue the worst economic performance since the great depression. Only an idiot could support an unnecessary war in Iraq. Only an idiot could support the lies and corruption that fill the republican party.
Don’t tell a ‘burner’ here, you absolutely hate that Goldy is a whore to the dollar on his own website due to “uh, funding gaps” or however you’d like to frame it. The bottom line is Darcy lied yet again in a campaign and got called on the carpet for it…..Goldy can whine all he’d like, and do complete blogger Yoga with the truth, but the fact remains……..Darcy Burner does not have a “degree in economics” as she’s claimed now twice in the debates.
It’s all over but the crying now, folks. Burner’s toast- you might want to wonder how “the one” is going to lose come November 5th. Can’t wait to see the caterwauling that day in here….assuming it’s still up, of course.
So that means when Darcy wins you assholes go away.
Poor desperate little Ricky Dumbass.
It’s all a slow circle around and around and down the toilet bow for you.
Poor desperate little Ricky Dumbass.
It’s all a slow circle around and around and down the toilet bowl for you.
@ 19 How does a retard like Yearns4LittleBoys manage to double post?
You stuttering again son? must be from your inbreeding I suppose.
Next time, just edit it instead of posting your idiocy twice dumbass, Goldy’s already stressed enough without you and your pervert eye spamming his website. You are smart enough to actually hit the edit button right?
Oops, my bad, you are that stupid and deserve my pity rather than scorn.
Seattle Times = Syun Yung Moon Times
‘W’ and SY Moon own adjoining plots in S. America. Enjoy the fresh water. It’s all you have left.
troll,
As a Democrat (roflmao) is there one Democrat running for significant office that you support?
Just name one. In Washington.
You claim you have Democrat values, but you keep supporting those who would not support Democrat values and issues.
My analysis says you are a goat fucking liar.
20 – Changing the subject little Ricky Dumbass?
So sad, so pathetic, so losing..
I’m lovin’ it.
@12 I want to ask Sarah if she pals around with the abortion clinic bombers that she refuses to call “terrorists.” I bet they show up at her rallies.
Palin has questionable associations including the “witch exorcist” at her church and her anti-American secessionist husband. And she pals around with serial liar John McSame. This shows she has questionable judgment.
Early Voters Report Intimidation, Machine Malfunctions
“Early voting has begun, and problems are already emerging at the polls.
“In West Virginia, voters using touchscreen machines have claimed their votes were switched from Democrat to Republican. In North Carolina, a group of McCain supporters heckled a group of mostly black supporters of Barack Obama. In Ohio, Republicans are being accused of trying to scare newly registered voters by filing lawsuits that question their eligibility.
“We speak to NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller ….
“AMY GOODMAN: … early voters in at least two West Virginia counties claimed their votes were switched from Democrat to Republican, a couple in Nashville, Tennessee reported similar problems with paperless voting machines. In West Virginia, one voter said, ‘I hit Obama, and it switched to McCain … there was something wrong with the machines.’ In Tennessee, a … couple … had to hit the Obama button several times before it actually registered, and … it momentarily flipped from Obama to Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney. … Meanwhile, there are reports of long lines at early voting sites in several other states, including some counties in Texas, Florida, Nevada and New Mexico. …
MARK CRISPIN MILLER: … We now see a burst of vote flipping by … electronic voting machines in a couple of states. This is something that we saw in at least eleven states in the 2004 election …. So, clearly, this was a systematic programming decision by the people in charge of the machines, which … is the Republican Party. We’re also seeing systematic shortages of working voting machines in Democratic precincts …. This is also something that … in 2004 … happened nationwide. That election was, in fact, stolen.
“AMY GOODMAN: How do you know that?
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: … I know because there’s been an audit of the vote in eighteen counties of Ohio by a researcher named Richard Hayes Phillips, who had his team literally scrutinize every single ballot that was warehoused in eighteen Ohio counties. … John Kerry actually won some 200,000 votes in those eighteen counties … that were taken away from him. Bush’s official victory margin, you may recall, was about 118,000. So there is no question about it. Ohio was stolen. … Even more chilling is the fact that after Phillips did his research, the boards of elections in fifty-five Ohio counties destroyed all or some of their ballots in defiance of a court order. So we have criminal behavior here of a … systematic kind.
” … the point here is to note that we’re dealing with a consistent pattern of subversive behavior by the Republican Party since 2000 and extending all the way up to the present. What we’re seeing now is an especially brazen and diverse range of dirty tricks and tactics that are being used both to suppress the vote and also to enable election fraud.
“AMY GOODMAN: Ohio has been … in the news this past week … around the issue of fraudulent registration forms … handed in by the organization ACORN.
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Yeah, the whole ACORN thing is a … propaganda drive. ACORN has done nothing wrong. ACORN has, however, been … trying to register low-income citizens to vote … they’ve always been extremely scrupulous about checking the registration forms that they garner from their volunteers. …
“And ten days ago, … in Las Vegas, … they found a number of these suspicious forms, handed them over directly to the Secretary of State in Nevada, and his response was to turn around and say, ‘Aha! Here is evidence that you’re conspiring to commit voter fraud.’ Now, … we hear that the FBI is investigating ACORN.
“The important point here, Amy, is that voter fraud is practically nonexistent. Several studies have taken a close look at this and found that there really is no voter fraud of this kind.
“AMY GOODMAN: Robert Greenwald of Brave New Films has put out a new short film about ACORN and the attacks against them. Let me play an excerpt.
‘SEN. JOHN McCAIN: We need to know the full extent of Senator Obama’s relationship with ACORN, who is now on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy.
‘GOV. SARAH PALIN: John and I are calling on the Obama campaign to release communications it has had with this group and to do so immediately.
‘CARMEN ARIAS: These attacks on ACORN are part of a pattern of voter suppression that the GOP has been carrying on for a long time.
‘PAUL WEYRICH: They want everybody to vote. I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people. They never have been, from the beginning of our country, and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections, quite candidly, goes up as the voting populace goes down.
‘ANDREW SULLIVAN: The McCain campaign has now two camps. And one of them is already assuming that he’s lost, and he’s aiming for the post-election warfare in the Republican Party, and part of that is the ACORN strategy, which is trying to delegitimize the result in advance, if Obama were to win, by saying it was rigged by minority voters. That’s what this is about.
‘SEN. JOHN McCAIN: Someone here keeps yelling “ACORN, ACORN.” Now, let me just say to you, there are serious allegations of voter fraud in the battleground states across America. They must be investigated.
‘NATHAN HENDERSON-JAMES: Let’s look at North Carolina. We turned in 28,000 applications in North Carolina, and there are investigations into four of them right now. … So we’re talking about an extremely small percentage of the overall 1.3 million cards collected. To suggest that this is some kind of widespread criminal conspiracy is just absurd. …
‘CARMEN ARIAS: Suppressing the low-income minority voters can swing an entire election. A handful of improperly filled-out voter registration cards cannot.
“AMY GOODMAN: That, an excerpt of a piece by Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films. Professor Mark Crispin Miller?
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: … The important point to get here is that the party that is itself engaging in disenfranchisement on a massive scale, the deliberate, systematic disenfranchisement of arguably millions of Americans, is clouding the issue by accusing … its victims of doing the same thing. … Voter fraud — I want to repeat this—is virtually nonexistent. There have been several academic studies of this notion of whether individuals … show up at polling places pretending to be somebody else. There’s … not a single known case of any such type of voter fraud …. And yet, that notion … is used as the pretext for taking steps that … result in tens of thousands of people being unable to vote …. It’s a really masterful strategy. And I only wish that the Democratic Party had all this time been aggressive in pointing out that the Republicans are the party engaged in disenfranchisement.
AMY GOODMAN: Mark Crispin Miller, … I want to ask you about a man named Stephen Spoonamore —
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Right.
“AMY GOODMAN: — a prominent expert, supposedly, on computer fraud, and what he has to say. …
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Stephen Spoonamore is a conservative Republican, a former McCain supporter and, most importantly, a renowned and highly successful expert at the detection of computer fraud. That’s his profession. …
“He knows personally the principal players in Bush-Cheney’s conspiracy to subvert our elections through electronic means …, and he has named these principal players. Specifically, he has named a man named Mike Connell.
“Mike Connell … is Karl Rove’s computer guru. This is the guy who has helped Bush-Cheney fix election results through computers since Florida 2000, in Ohio in 2004, also in the stolen re-election of Governor Don Siegelman in Alabama in 2002, also in the stolen re-election of Senator Max Cleland in Georgia in 2002.
“AMY GOODMAN: How?
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: … they use a kind of architecture that’s called Man in the Middle, and it involves shunting election returns data through a separate computer somewhere else. This is something that computer criminals do all the time with banks. Spoonamore explains that the Man in the Middle setup is extremely effective and basically undetectable as a way to change election results.
” … Connell told Spoonamore that the reason why he has helped Bush-Cheney steal these elections for the last eight years has been to save the babies. See? We have to understand that there’s a very powerful component of religious fanaticism at work in the election fraud conspiracy. We saw a little bit of that in Greenswald’s film, where Paul Weyrich was talking about how [they] don’t want people voting … because the majority is a majority of unbelievers. They’re pro-choice. They’re corrupt. They’re evil. They don’t get it. It’s therefore necessary to fix election results in order to prevent the unjust and the unrighteous from taking over.
“AMY GOODMAN: Professor Mark Crispin Miller, you keep saying the election was clearly stolen in 2004. This is not a widely held belief. Why do you think more information is not known about this?
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: Because the press and the Democratic Party have steadfastly refused simply to mention, much less discuss, the evidence.
“AMY GOODMAN: You talked to John Kerry.
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: I talked to John Kerry. … On October 28th, 2005, we met … and we discussed the last election, and he told me, with some vehemence, that he believed it was stolen. …
“AMY GOODMAN: When you talk about the computer setup for 2004, explain further.
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: … what happened was, with the election results that were coming into Ken Blackwell’s website, right, in real time —
“AMY GOODMAN: The former Secretary of State of Ohio. … The former chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign there.
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: And … a big-time election thief and an ardent theocrat, by the way. The election returns went basically from his website to another computer that was in a basement in Chattanooga, Tennessee, under the control of Spoonamore and a guy with another private company, another evangelical. The data was shunted through that computer and then back to the Secretary of State’s website.
“Spoonamore says that this Man in the Middle setup has only one purpose, and that is fraud. There’s no other reason to do it. And he believes that such a system is still in place in Ohio [and] a number of other states … the crucial fact to bear in mind here, … is that Mike Connell is now working for John McCain.
” … Spoonamore’s testimony … [is] driving a RICO lawsuit in Ohio. … Connell has been subpoenaed … for a deposition, so that he can answer questions on the record, under oath, about what he’s been up to. He and a bevy of Republican lawyers have been very, very vigorously fighting this subpoena, because, of course, they don’t want him to testify ’til after Election Day.
“AMY GOODMAN: Professor Mark Crispin Miller, the Bradley Effect that is being discussed, explain what it is and how you feel it’s being used.
“MARK CRISPIN MILLER: The Bradley Effect is a theory which holds that African American candidates do better in pre-election polls than they do in elections, because white racists are shy about admitting to pollsters that they wouldn’t vote for a black man. So they will tell pollsters, ‘Sure, I’ll vote for him.’ Then they … vote as racists.
” … the problem with this theory is that there are almost no examples of its having happened. It’s named for Tom Bradley, the mayor of Los Angeles, who ran for the governor of California and did much better in polls beforehand than he did on Election Day. Well, it turns out, if you study that race, that the reason why he lost was that a lot of bad news about his tenure in Los Angeles came out just before the election. That’s the reason why people often lose elections. There are only two races that we know of where the Bradley Effect may arguably have obtained, both in 1989: Doug Wilder’s run for the governor of Virginia and David Dinkins’s first run for the mayor of New York, where Dinkins didn’t do as well as we thought he would. Well, in his second run, the polls were dead on.
“The point is, we’re talking about two races that may form the basis for this idea that Barack Obama, with his enormous lead, may lose because of millions and millions of closet racists, you know, who will say one thing to pollsters, out of a fear of not seeming politically correct, and then vote a different way. I’ll tell you why I worry about this. Something that you very, very badly need to steal elections, aside from the apparatus and the volunteers and all the money and everything, is a narrative. You have to have a convincing rationale to explain an upset victory. … I’m afraid the primary narrative will be racism: Barack Obama actually lost, despite all predictions, because so many Americans are racist. … I’m afraid that people will be encouraged to accept this line to prevent them from taking a hard look at the real reasons why Obama may have ‘lost’ — and I put ‘lost’ in quotation marks.
“AMY GOODMAN: Mark Crispin Miller, …thank you for being with us. Mark Crispin Miller is a professor at New York University ….”
(Quoted from Democracy Now! under fair use.)
I have a BS degree from Central Washington University with specialties in economics and finance.
Only a lame ass fuck nut who never went to University would question whether my degree is not a finance or marketing degree.
It is no cake walk to get a specialty. However, if the hardest class you ever took was second year logic, or high school algebra, I can understand your lack of insight into the demands of successfully completing a University education.
However, I remember studying six hours a day, to pull out a 3.7 GPA fifteen credit quarter.
So, to all those who think Mrs. Burner did not “earn” her degree: FUCK YOU!
BTW, I believe this will help Darcy because it will highlight the fact that Sheriff Hairspray has not graduated from a University, even though he claims he has.
In addition, this particular piece of Times mudslinging is highly insulting to anyone who ever worked for, and attained, a specialty within their degree. Specialties are University acknowledgements of a students additional education within the degree.
@ 26 ~ How about linking the story instead of your cutting and pasting that drivel next time Roadkill?
Pretend you’re a grown up.
Poor Darcy. After losing, I hope she doesn’t become embittered like Dave Ross.
It’s been a while for me…But new projects and extensive writing assignments have kept me from posting.
Suffice…
The whole resume thing with The Darcy struck me where I live. For 25-years I did executive recruiting and search, and I’m here to tell you that had she been a candidate for employment in the private sector and padded her resume that way, she would have been rejected for the job.
Not just rejected, either, but rejected with a vengance as a cheat and liar – resume fraud, while rampant, is a vocational capital crime. And it exposes fundamental character flaws.
If you lie on your resume, what else are you lying about? If you then contend it wasn’t a lie, but an innocent mistatement, the question becomes if you’re sloppy with a fact like that, what other facts are you sloppy about?
If you exagerate about academic achievements, are you exagerating about vocational ones, too?
Oh…I forgot…she’s apparently been outed for that already. Program managers aren’t “executives” – corporate level directors and company officers are.
I’ve seen people fired from high-paying, high-level jobs for doing less than what The Darcy did in contending that she has an economics degree. Within the personnel community, she fatally screwed the pooch.
Sucks to be The Darcy…

@31
Excellent comment! I give it an A+
I am curious….
Of all those furiously posting on this board, how many of you are actually in the Reichert/Burner district?
“Yearns4LittleBoys”
Now that’s funny. If you don’t think that’s funny, you can get the hell outta here!
@33
To answer your question, Goldy is not in the 8th district.
Pipe: Are you saying that a degree with a major and a minor is only what the major is?
I don’t think so.
Resume fraud is when you say you have something that, in reality, you do not. So, the thing you are dunning Darcy for is knowing alot about both computers AND economics.
You give me macro headache,Pipe.
I’m going to keep an eye on you:
Phil Spectator
Great ad.
@34 You goatfuckers should know better than to make sex jokes about somebody else.
@31 “It’s been a while for me”
If you’d stuck around you’d know what a stupid post yours is. As for your writing assignments, sigh, we’ve all read that crap. It’s nothing but the usual Pooper drivel.
@36…Phil…
Degree in economics because it was a minor?
Sorry, Charlie…
In the employment biz, that’s still resume fraud – and fraud is fraud is fraud, which makes The Darcy a…(catchin’ the drift?)
That she “loved economics so much, she got a degree in it,” or words to that effect from what I heard her say over and over and over on the radio, stands her condemned out of her own mouth.
Plus, it was a piss-poor imitation of the old Victor Kiam ad for Remington Shavers: “I love them so much, I bought the company!”
There isn’t a personnel department in any companty worth a hoot that would tolerate what she did.
As I said, I’ve seen people fired for doing less – then they get pursued by the company to have employment expenses (relocation, search fees, etc.) repaid since incurred by the company because of a candidate’s misrepresentation of a material fact.
The Darcy’s sub-prime resume is phonier than a Barney Frank-finagled Fannie Mae fixi-it job.
Now her jig is up, and it’s time for her to pay The Piper…
Sweet!
The Piper
Oh boy…the pompous ass is back.
Somebody open a window.
@39…Steve…
So…you’ve been reading my stuff, have you?
Where? On what topic? And what makes it “drivel?”
But I shouldn’t expect much from anyone who would defend the Tate – LoBianco murders as emminently justifed if but only Charlie Manson would declare himself in support of Obama/Biden and The Darcy.
You ain’t much on the intellectual honesty scale, bro…
The Piper
@42 Yes, I’ve read your writings. You can thank Goldy for providing links to where you’ve been hanging out. Please keep up.
Intellectual honesty scale? Coming from you? For people who have no sense of humor, you’re somehow always good for a laugh.
@43…Steve…
Goldy provided links? Way cool! Love that free publicity!
So I don’t have to wade through the spew, where are they?
The Piper
Pooper @ 40
Hyping up a minor in Economics is much less offensive than someone with only an AA claiming a BS BA degree.
@44 Use the search function and find the thread yourself. I can tell you this, we all had a good laugh at your expense.
@45…RP…
When you float a resume, do you take care to mention all your…uhm…”issues?” And your failed candidacies?
Just checking…

@47 When you float a resume do you, like Mr. Hairspray, include the accomplishments of others as your own?
