WATCH: Wielding Gavel, Franken Shuts Lieberman Up

Commented Dec 18, 2009 at 13:53:51 in Politics

“Give 'em hell, Al...the old coot deserves the very minimal respect required on the floor of the Senate. Mr. Lieberman has shown utter contempt for the welfare of the American people. Every time I hear the name "Lieberman" I shout a rude invective (put in your own word). It makes ME feel better!”

“I suspect Griffin Dunne (who I love as an actor) is putting it out there about his dad's sexuality now so that some author can't profit on this information. I loved his dad's work and it would be sadly ironic if someone turned the tables on him.”

“Ya know...this is actually a darn good idea. Right now the airlines use a per-person estimate to calculate fuel needs, etc. But, what the heck, they already xray us, why not weigh us as well and leave us NO self-esteem?”

“There has got to be more to this story...How did they know they would even make it through the FIRST row of security let alone be seated at the President's table? The minute Matt Lauer asked, "Who invited you?", they clammed up. D.C. oozes "users"...there are parties at some hotel or other almost every night (at least there used to be when people had money!) Let's sit back and wait for the other shoe to drop. These two should be ashamed that they embarrassed the President, Vice-President and the Secret Service. Shame on them for giving Fox something to drool about.”

“"Shame on them for giving Fox something to drool about."

Oh c'mon - I know it's SOP to blame all things on Fox, but it wasn't Fox that gave them a nationwide soap box to stand on while telling their nonsense story.

Blame NBC.”

“"Shame on them for giving Fox something to drool about."

Hold on a sec - I know it's SOP to blame FOX for everything, but it's not FOX who gave these idiots an interview to peddle their BS story and extend their 15 minutes - blame NBC.”

zg1968 replied on Dec 01, 2009 at 11:42:32

“Yes - that's where the story is. Being a smooth grifter alone does not grant you access to the White House. They went through multiple check points.....to suggest one secret service agent messed up seems unrealistic. It has to be someone fairly senior who the White House doesn't want to lose.

Someone on the inside let them in. That's why the grifters haven't been arrested already. Think about it - if you hop the fence to touch the grass at the White House you are arrested. These grifters came in and misrepresented themselves at an event where the President was in attendance - why haven't they been arrested already? Because someone senior let them in.

The White House should come clean on who it was. I'm sure they know exactly who let these people in (I imagine there are video tapes of the security area). I don't think this will just blow over - especially now that Congress is involved.”

The Most Obese Counties In America: Is Yours On The List?

“STOP...STOP...STOP consuming high fructose corn syrup, people. The body doesn't recognize it AND it actually makes you feel hungrier...such a deal, right? I don't care what the corn industry says...they have a BIG axe to grind. It IS a pain to stand there and look at ingredients in the grocery store, but take the extra TEN minutes of your life and do it...your body will thank you!”

LaurieLee replied on Nov 19, 2009 at 21:25:48

“Obviously the body recognizes it. It would pass right through if the body didn't recognize it as a source of calories. The body doesn't recognize the artificial fats in some diet foods, so it passes through without being digested (although its osmotic effects usually cause 'leakage' because it draws water into the colon). HFC is recognized by the body, just often not by the person consuming it as a major source of calories.”

luvobama replied on Nov 19, 2009 at 20:46:39

“I agree 100%. We consume an unbelievable amount of that g ar bage. The other thing people can and should do without is fast food and soda. It's super bad for you and has very little nutritional value. Eat foods as close to the ground as possible. If you do, you can eat what you want and as much as you want. Eat as little processed food as possible.”

“Oh please, under the Bush Adminstration the insults flew at the president. What liberal said was so far out the door I was amazed. Liberals refused to give the Bush the same respect they seem to demand for Obama. Even former presidents Carter and Clinton insulted Bush day after day. No former president have the right to critiize a sitting president. It is unheard of in America.

So when you decide to stop drinking your kool aid let's get back to debating the health care issue.”

Daschle Urges Obama To Drop Federal Public Health Care Plan

“Have you...or anyone, for that matter. looked in to the cost of the wonderful COBRA? I'm glad I have it (after my husband died suddenly and I had just retired at the age of 62 and in poor health), BUT, I am paying $666.36 per month without dental or eye care. Unless we all get universal healthcare soon, I will have 31 more months to pay this amount until I turn 65. You do the math. We're talking over $20,000.00. I can JUST afford it, but how about a family of four...the cost would be way higher and I doubt many families suddenly without jobs could ever afford it. It's a joke, people.”

“It seems very unlikely that the crash of AF447 was a terrorist incident. It happened four hours into the flight, in the middle of a violent storm and no one has even tried to claim responsibility. What use is a terrorist action if nobody knows about it? Doesn't add up.”

O'Reilly Suddenly Distancing Himself From Past Tiller Rhetoric

Commented Jun 03, 2009 at 12:28:27 in Media

“WHEN are we going to recognize the kind of ranting people like O'Reilly and Limbaugh do as hate speech? And, to say, "I'm only reporting what others have said", is about as weak of an excuse as I've heard. This is a tired old way of distancing yourself from any responsibility for your statements. The standard of "shouting fire in a crowded theater" DOES apply in many of these cases. When you have mentally unbalanced, idealogical zealots listening to this kind of inflammatory speech every day on radio and the Fox channel...don't play dumb when your words become their actions.”
