Put Up, Then Shut Up

In a follow-up to his "Special Olympics" gaffe President Obama has been challenged to a White House bowl-off by a Special Olympics champion with a 266 average.  I say the Pres ought to follow the immortal advice of Charles Barkley and take his butt-whipping like a man.

Oh, and my betting advice - back the left-handed black guy.

I think they're both left handed, aren't they?
I want the press to be allowed to video this contest--Obama owes it to the Specisl Olympians to have his butt whipped publibly.

[verner]

Calling Jack Tapper. Be sure and ask Gibbs about this monday. I love to see him when he gets mean questions.

[clarice]

Ok--I made two spelling errors, but TM double posted.

[ben]

A commenter on Ace said Gibbs reminded him of Baghdad Bob.....pretty good analogy.....

Baghdad Gibbs will have many moments like Baghdad Bob when he said there were no American troops near Baghdad just as they came up over the horizon.

Mark Steyn says it all, dont miss the sarcasm:

But don't forget, folks: Somewhere in Texas a village has been reunited with its idiot, and we now have the whip-smartest administration of David Brooks' lifetime.

[Gmax]

And even Obama's teleprompter is smart enough not to diss the handicapped...

[kim]

Except in very new lanes. the left side of the lane is always smoother. Advantage: Southpaw.
=================================

[Jane]

This is perfect. When this thread gets too long we can move to the next one.

GMax I'm assuming Steyn is at NRO. If not will you put a lun? Thanks.

[clarice]

Don't blame Brooks. It's been obvious to me for some time that there's a machine in the office of the NYT' resident conservatives that sucks their brains out and replaces it with mush.

[bad]

I have visions of Obama taking bowling lessons and seeking to crush his opponent, after which, he will exchange high fives with TOTUS....

[hit and run]

I can't seem to break 268 on Wii bowling.

Arrrrrgggghhhh.

[verner]

I swear, 60 days and BO's already making "strategery" and "Nuculur" look like Shakespeare!

[bad]

It was lovely of the CBO to dump the $2.3 trillion reality check on Friday afternoon.

[Captain Hate]

Has anybody done more to diminish the stature of the President than Ann Dunham's jug-eared bastard? Thanks a lot, idiot 52%.

[PeterUK]

"I have visions of Obama taking bowling lessons and seeking to crush his opponent, after which, he will exchange high fives with TOTUS...."

But Obama cannot be seen beating a one armed man,it would be like a street punk robbing a little old lady.
If Single O Bama takes on the challenge he looks petty.If he wins he looks mean,besides he would then have to join the Axis of Arseholes League,Chavez,Ahmamadjihadi,Kim Il Sick,Fidel Corpse and the like.
It is a perfect lose lose for President Ooops. Fiddling whilst Rome burns.
The name Obama will, forever be synonymous with Balls.

[hit and run]

I'm hearing through the grapevine that Obama is pushing congress to institute a Windfall Points Tax on Bowlers Scoring Higher Than 250.

[verner]

Ya know, Obama is really in a tough spot. At this point, he just about HAS to play the Special Olympian, who will win, and show the world what a mean-spirited elitist condescending effete dork we have elected president.

Man, the Arab street is going to love that!

[hit and run]

DEVELOPING...Obama: "95% of bowlers who bowl against me will see a reduction in their score"

[mel]

hit-

Is there a video around we can send? I unnerstand the last tape he made didn't fare so well.

[kim]

This is good stuff; John Conyers wants a probe of ACORN. In the Washington Times, memeorandum has it as does Hot Air.
======================================

[verner]

Waters AND Conyers in the same day!!!

Whoa.

[bad]

Have I been drinking?

[PD]

"Nuculur"

Jack Bauer says "nucular" so it's all good.

[clarice]

He's going to be on the road and voting present as much as he can. I think.

[PD]

John Conyers wants a probe of ACORN

Misdirection to take the focus off the FBI investigation of Monica Conyers?

[verner]

It's better to just vote present Clarice, for him and us both.

Do you think Hillary is already having meetings plotting just how to arrange a "man made disaster" in which Obama, Biden and Pelosi would all be taken out at the same time?

[bad]

NYT:

The White House stopped short on Friday of endorsing legislation to severely tax bonuses paid to executives of companies that accepted taxpayer bailout funds.

Administration officials said instead that President Obama would assess the potential effect of the bill that emerged from Congress on efforts to stabilize the financial system.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha LUN

[hit and run]

Verner:

Okay, but that would leave us with President Robert Byrd.

[clarice]

You know I love you, hit, but you do have a way of agitatin' my ulcer.

[bad]

Tapper: LUN

[Michelle] Obama has said that the entire family, including the president, will pull weeds –

In addition to learning to bowl, Obama will now pull weeds.

I wish many more Republicans had voted NO on the bonus tax on principle, and this article is worrisome.

[hit and run]

John Podhoretz: "I get it. Obama is waiting to announce the dog until it's been trained to do a Stupid Pet Trick for his appearance on Letterman."

Why didn't I think of that?

[hit and run]

Deb:

OK, bonus tax principle...

This would be completely meaningless other than for symbolism, which in our Populist Days of Rage (PDoR) means it may be just what we're looking for.

So, here we go...

Congress just gave themselves failed to stop themselves from getting http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/03/10/senate-votes-congress-automatic-pay-raise/>a $4700 raise.

While people around the country are losing their jobs (LIKE ME!) and others are seeing their salaries cut, Congress is greedier than a Wall Street hustler for accepting these raises!!! What say you Senator Grassley, should you perhaps kill yourself over this??!!?!?!? What say you Barney Frank??!?!!?!? We're sharpening our pikes out here in consituency-land you lying, greedy, thieving bastards!!!1!!1!!111!!!!

Sorry, got caught up in the role of PDoR protester.

Anyway, here's the idea: Tax the amount of the raise Congress just received at 90%.

Actually in our current PDoR, TAX IT AT 325%!!!!!1!!!!!!111!!!!

Whoops, there I go again. Outrage can be so....well....so intoxicating.

But a 90% tax on the amount of their latest raise actually -- and remember it's 11:00pm on a Friday and this is coming from someone who is unemployed and loves beer -- sounds like a pretty good idea to help mollify (and demagogue against) some of the populist rage building against Congress.

So, what I'm saying is, don't tell them.

Did y'all see what Michelle was wearing while hoeing today? Is that how you spell hoeing? It looks weird. Anyway, I laughed out loud when I watched her "technique" with the hoe.

[clarice]

hit:"Why didn't I think of that?"
I can't imagine--it is sooooo h & r

[bad]

I think it's lovely that the Obamas are now going to have a dog and a garden. The WH staff will do a great job with both time consuming family endeavors.

[hit and run]

Sue:

Frumpy Ninja?

And let me for the record state, unequivocally, she was not, NOT I say, nappy-headed hoeing.

[glasater]

For just a second my eyes played tricks on me and I thought I saw the Tapper headline:

"Michelle Obama Breaks Wind" instead of "Michelle Obama Breaks Ground".

[hit and run]

Clarice:
I can't imagine--it is sooooo h & r

Well, part two of why didn't I think of that, I got that from JPod's facebook, and one person responded something like, "shouldn't that be 'special needs' pet tricks?"

HEH!

[bgates]

[Michelle] Obama has said that the entire family, including the president, will pull weeds –

Barry's going to be so happy, until he finds out what Michelle means by "weeding".

[Porchlight]

From 48 to 52: Just admit it, your guy sucks.

[daddy]

I don't know Hit,

Maybe they could plant that White House Garden at Fort Marcie ParK, and the Park Police could even show them how to plant seeds without ever even making any holes in the Earth.
