“Congressman.
Vice president.
Nobel Prize winner.
Oscar winner.

Your short sightedness if amusing.”

“LOL!!! But I do admit that I quite like eating them with lashings of garlic butter, a chunk of crunchy baquette and a big glass of wine....”

“I stand corrected. But could it be that FIFA realizes now, the replay in 2005 only compounded the issue and they don't want repeat the same mistake now. It's up to the game officials to resolve violations by players, during the game. The reason you won't see American pro sports leagues replaying entire games because an official missed a call ( and that's all this is) is because it opens a whole new can of worms and damages the credibilty of the game for all the fans of whichever team is on the losing end of the decision tio replay. There's technology available now to catch these mistakes. If FIFA had been using it, this controversy wouldn't have happened.”

“By setting this precedent, you'd be setting it up so a country could demand a result be invalidated every time a player's hand touched a ball and the officials didn't see it.”

“Really. Sports is entertainment. They use rule books, not law books.”

“What's that got to do with anything?? So people are supporting Palin a little more and Obama a little less.... I said NOTHING about that. I said that the numbers who identify themselves as Democrats FAR outnumber those who self identify as Republicans. Which is still true!!”

“Better than Sarah.”

“No, they oppose HOW he's going about it, they wish that he was going actually to the left, rather than with the "Washington centrist" approach, which is ACTUALLY a rightwing approach!”

“Two Dems who are working as hard for healthcare as anyone in the Obama administration are Hillary and Bill Clinton. What is really insulting is the way Siskind went seamlessly from supporting Hillary to supporting the diametric opposite, the unschooled, undisciplined, Sarah Palin, an anti-feminist who opposes everything Hillary ever fought for whether working for the Children's Defense Fund or as a Senator---a centrist Dem senator.

The silly remarks about Hillary's appearance were no worse than comments at the New Agenda website about Nancy Pelosi's appearance right now. I haven't even gone to No Quarter, the racist PUMA blog (originators of the Whitey Tape smear against Michelle Obama) where Siskind cross-posts and participates, to see what sexist drivel they have to say about Pelosi.

Hillary as president would have been exactly where Obama is now: trying to right a nation nearly destroyed by the same policies Palin espouses. You and Siskind both demonstrate that your pique isn't about policy.”
