HOW THE FUCK CAN PEOPLE SAY STUPID SHIT LIKE THIS!?

[filkertom]

Tweety, i.e., Chris "Hardball" Matthews, actually, out loud, said: "We're stuck in Iraq; 4,000 people are dead now because of decisions made by politicians like the Clintons."

As opposed to, y'know, the fucking insane sociopathic douchebag of a brain-damaged chimp passing himself off as President who actually sent the soldiers to Iraq to die.

Goddamn it, I'm trying to get some stuff done today, and my blood pressure's off the fucking scale.

Breathe. Relax. I suggest petting a cat. If you can't, then enjoy this:

Tweety is obsessed with the Clintons. He's irrational on the subject. The Clintons are the source of everything evil as far as he's concerned.

I hope he's never allowed within 50 feet of either of them without the Secret Service giving him a full-body search first.

I bet if his car won't start in the morning, he blames the Clintons.

I'm surprised Olbermann hasn't walked over to Tweety's studio and clocked him a good one... Grrrr....

[liddle-oldman.livejournal.com]

I wonder what his internal logic is -- or is he just trying to be as offensive to truth as possible?

Wasn't it a comparison between Obama and Hilary? Obama was against the invasion and Hilary was for it. They don't appear to link to a full transcript, but the reason for the discussion in the first place was Gov. Bill Richardson's endorsement of Obama. It's preceded by a comment from a Clinton spokesperson shrugging off the nomination as irrelevant.

So an idiot is unable to spell "Bush". Why get upset over that? There will never be any shortage of idiots.

It was time to have an attempt to distract people from the fact that she's lieing her butt off. Landing under sniper threat (http://weblogs.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/blog/2008/03/clintons_landing_under_sniper.html)

Also reported on MSNBC by a reporter that was on that trip with her.

Wait, what?

What a wonderful icon!

He's blaming the quagmire in Iraq on Slick Willy. I'm guessing what, he's going to suggest that the budget surplus during the Clinton administration was the result of the policies of King George I and the current fiscal nightmare also on Clinton-era economics?

What color is the sky on his planet? I don't care to visit; apparently, the citizens of his world are running short on oxygen, to see long-term brain damage like this at work.

"What color is the sky on his planet?"

I think it shifts slightly depending on your location relative to its eight corners, twelve edges, and six faces.

Oh Tom ... didn't you know ... EVERYTHING is the Clinton's fault ...

Guess the RNC didn't send you the memo ... Tweety gets them all

[admnaismith.livejournal.com]

Except for some things that are still the fault of LBJ or Carter!

Really. There were people on TV during the first W recession who really did trot out the old "Great Society programs drained the treasury" chestnut.

Geeze... talk about revisionist history. Betcha he'll be up for being in charge of the Ministry of Truth in Bush's third term.

[hiddenkrypt.livejournal.com]

You shut your mouth! I'd like to be able to sleep tonight!

[shockwave77598.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should pay less attention to the screaming monkeys who form our political class. You can't stop them from flinging poo, but you can work on your pooshield if you ignore them.

[stevemb.livejournal.com]

Do some people just have a natural ability to talk like this, or is there a special Bullshit Academy somewhere?

[devospice.livejournal.com]

They left out a rather important part of the story. They failed to mention that he is in fact from a parallel universe where Bill Clinton invaded Iraq in 1996. It's also worth noting that in this universe the Statue Of Liberty is a fat guy eating a bucket of chicken and Shoebox has three nipples.

[allandaros.livejournal.com]

We know that Clinton's deployment of Da Bomb in 1998 (http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29620) is what got us into this entire mess.

[minerva-fan.livejournal.com]

Why do you listen to morons? We cannot save them; we can only pity them. Let it go......remember Tom...the brain you save, may be your own.

[fabricdragon.livejournal.com]

i love your icon

[fabricdragon.livejournal.com]

Tom.. Tom... really.. dont read politicians until after happy hour. it hurts your blood pressure.. here, have some brain bleach.

[randwolf.livejournal.com]

Wow. One has to admire how the Party keeps its members on message.

[peteralway.livejournal.com]

I think there's a comma missing between "politicians" and "like." "politicians, like the Clintons" simply means "people who, like the Clintons, are politicians." George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and their collaborators are politicians, like the Clintons.

Now the sentence makes perfect sense. We're stuck in Iraq; 4000 people are dead now because of decision made by politicians, like the Clintons.

See? It was just punctuation error.

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

Except even there, the net is cast unreasonably broad. Yes, those responsible for this mess are politicians. But to the casual reader, it would sound like politicians en masse are responsible, not specific ones.

[gypsylady.livejournal.com]

Chris Matthews is a fucking moron. (Read my post from a few weeks ago (http://sukinova.livejournal.com/265398.html) on another Matthews inanity.) How Olberman manages to sit next to Matthews without strangling him speaks volumes for Keith's tolerance.

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'm loving your icon.

[hitchkitty.livejournal.com]

Well, sure. Politicians who, like the Clintons, are carbon-based bipeds.

[mnelson.livejournal.com]

[mouser.livejournal.com]

Well, after all, Cheney thought invading Iraq would be a bad idea. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=YENbElb5-xY)

Saw that on my MM Daily Summary e-mail last night. It was so unbelievably ridiculous I actually laughed out loud. I couldn't help it. I have the same reaction whenever anyone mentions how they murdered Vince Foster, too. Also, when people tell me Grant single-handedly won the Civil War and Rock Hudson was straight. It's that level of presposterousness.

[r-caton.livejournal.com]

You mean Rock Hudson was... slightly deviant? What does that make Doris Day?

He thinks if he tells enough lies often enough and fast enough, people will start to believe them.

[baphnedia.livejournal.com]

There are two ways I have seen this work in other arenas:

Banks 'selling' debt (in the case of the American citizenry) and...
Global Warming (not being a factor in ANYTHING important, in the case of the US Gov't)

*face palm*

Unfortunately I see more of these comments coming down the road. There are so few journalists with integrity (for note I count Keith Olberman among that precious few) that hearing comments like that doesn't surprise me in the least.

There used to be a time when journalists were expected to be honest and not allow their personal opinions influence how they report on things. Unfortunately with the advent of people like Bill O'Reilly and others who misquote people and use the very same tactics that they claim are used against them we've lost that honesty requirement. I'm not sure we can ever get it back now.

Keep in mind I've got no problem with political or social commentary, just don't call yourself a journalist. I'm not sure what else can be said really.
