Alicia: Carlos, Deep and Zoots all making their thoughts on you known in one day. Laz will throw a fit.

That clip is much ado about nothing, for the record. Hi FYM!

No, not at all. I know stuff like this happens all the time, and it pisses me off.

My "come on / knock it off" was to deep, because I know deep doesn't honestly believe this shit, and I was finally compelled to say it after a very long time of just sitting back and rolling my eyes silently at his ... his ... his .... whatever it is that he's been doing here since election season began.

I like deep - how could I not? How could anyone not like deep? Especially after he complimented my eyes?

I just finally let loose the "KNOCK IT OFF" that I'd been holding in for a long time.

You know, by the way - every time I hear "Badlands" now, I think about how you said it was to you like "I'm Sailing Away" was to Cartman. And then I think of you singing "Badlands" like Cartman.

So thanks for that.

I am disappointed in the sex ed ad.

It is VERY important to educate children about touching. Who can do it and who cannot. It is unfortunate to label such programs as sex education.

[corianderstem]

Dread, what happened to your user pic? It threw me off to see your name without a picture.

He needs to a sincere apology, yesterday.

and try and get this behind him.

Even though it was obviously meant in good humour - Obama is the about the only Democrat that's actually been polite the last week - I can't believe he wouldn't have the foresight to see what the headlines will be screaming tomorrow...something like..."Obama calls Palin a Pig with lipstick". I can hear Karl Rove cackling all the way from Canada. How quickly this is turning sour.

I dont think O has a mind of his own.
I think he was coached into saying this-but common sense would prohibit a concrete thinker from doing this, even tho the reference was oblique.

Coached?

Harry

as strident of an Obama supporter. as one could be

but, you get it

[yolland]

Does he even mention Palin in the clip? My hearing's not too good, but if he was discussing anyone but McCain I missed it...

[mobvok]

This is astonishingly moronic.

Last October, asked about Sen. Hillary Clinton's health care plan, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was blunt.

McCain said Clinton's proposal was “eerily” similar to the ill-fated plan she devised in 1993.

“I think they put some lipstick on a pig,” he said, “but it’s still a pig.”

The McCain campaign thinks we're stupid.

Obama Says McCain Is Offering Fake Change: 'You Can Put Lipstick on a Pig, But It's Still a Pig'

September 09, 2008 6:10 PM

LEBANON, Va. -- "That's not change," Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., said of what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is offering.

"You know, you can put lipstick on a pig," Obama said, "but it's still a pig."

The crowd rose and applauded, some of them no doubt thinking he may have been alluding to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's ad lib during her vice presidential nomination acceptance speech last week, "What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull? Lipstick."

Do people really want a guy who would approve such a disgraceful, disgusting ad as President of the United States???? I mean, he said it--he put his face at the end of that commercial and said, "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message." How disgusting is that? This guy calls himself honorable, a "maverick," and an American hero, someone who'd rather stick to his principles than win an election. And then he goes and lets someone write a disgusting ad like this and then put his name on it???

You can erase all of the other issues, all of the other pros and cons. This alone is disgraceful. Sad.

Of course, after he was just talking about how McCain suddenly talks about change when he got elected when in fact he doesn't bring any change and after he not once mentioned Palin suddenly this metaphor is an attack on Palin.
Makes sense.

I think this may really be McCain scraping the bottom of the barrel - it's in shockingly bad taste.

I've wondered this as well...
