This is so ridiculous! Whatever happened to those people who hung Palin and Bush in effigy?

[lyle]

They're working in the current administration. Also: shut up.

[narciso]

Speaking of clowns;

[Thomas Collins]

Of course this never would have happened to any other POTUS.

I mistakenly linked to the general site. See above for the clown post.

Well more of a knave then a jester;

"Playing cards" with Reggie Love? Is that a new euphemism that I have not yet been made aware?

[NK]

"Playing Cards" = Spades. NO COMMENT.

[matt]

The "are we there yet?" president.

[MarkO]

I would believe anything about Obama.

[pagar1]

"Makes It Much Harder to Govern'"

I would think the knowledge that people are dealing with a man who led all types of activities in support of enemies of the US while the enemy was engaged in killing American and Allies
citizens would make it very hard for anyone to agree to anything he wanted to do governing wise. Who could ever trust the man?

[Clarice]

Des-er-a-tion time, c'mon...(To the tune of Celebration)

[Old Lurker]

Well some card games involve rubbers, right?

[narciso]

That Chris Cilizza piece, that was excerpted earlier, is indicative of the clown show, as are some segments from Dan Balz's 'narrative' re the Huntress, in the lead up,

[narciso]

to the 2012 election, he recycles all the conventional wisdom, including Tucson, and
about the 'Undefeated' he calls a hagiography,
imagine the people who have worked with you,
describe your actual achievements, is hagiography.

Bono is an interesting guy:
"Commerce & entrepreneurial capitalism take more people out of poverty than aid." BONO.

[Ignatz]

Just for rse:

[Threadkiller]

Another job killed by Obama.

(Hat tip The Five)

[Janet --- -... .- -- .- ... ..- -.-. -.- ...]

A video of clips of all the old SNL comedians mocking different Presidents would be good....& then the late night talk show jokes...

Should they all have to go to sensitivity training? Get banned from different venues?

Is Obama so delicate that he can't take any mocking?

[Dave (in MA)]

Ignatz,

We know where that fist is going.

[Threadkiller]

Reggie and Obama anti up
As they test there luck
He wins with a pair
Bouncing on his derriere
In a game that normally sucks

[pagar1]

Doesn't the idea of "sensitivity training' from a group that has killed over 50 million plus inconvenient children create a feeling of disaster within your soul?

[Janet --- -... .- -- .- ... ..- -.-. -.- ...]

Yes, pagar. Phony outrage over nonsense.

[Rob Crawford]

Send in the joke clowns? Obama and Biden are already there.

The real reason the rodeo clown is in trouble is the mask created a safety hazard. There's a good chance that someone seeing that face could be mislead into thinking a bull is moving away from them.

[Rob Crawford]

Dave -- that's a Photoshop. I can tell because they trimmed his ears to make them look smaller.

[Threadkiller]

I hate clowner threads.

[Threadkiller]

Masker?

[Threadkiller]

Rodeoer?

[Threadkiller]

The clown would have been more realistic if his hand was in someone else's pocket.

[rse]

Thanks Iggy.

I have been told both the Georgia and Alabama Govs are looking forward to overseeing Workforce Devt that would encompass all of ed.

And then there is Big Blue convening the panel to merge vocational with academic standards for all students as if it is endowed with the requisite administrative power to make it so. With Margaret Spellings and Arne on the panel and Chester Finn maybe we are just shifting to bipartisan governance by agencies, corporations, and connected think tanks. Whatever gets the fundamental transformation.

[Janet --- -... .- -- .- ... ..- -.-. -.- ...]

The clown would have been more realistic if his hand was in someone else's pocket.

Hah! That's good, TK!

[Dave (in MA)]

DuD after a bender.

[Threadkiller]

Will there be a clown summit?

[Threadkiller]

Will the real BoZo please stand up?

[NK]

Obummer says:

"The clown acted stupidly"

"If I had a son who was a clown, he would like like this clown..."

[Threadkiller]

This sure beats the phony scandals.

[Threadkiller]

Empty clown chair

Eliana Johnson was just on Kudlow! Go Eliana!

[Eric in Boise]

The Western Idaho Fair opens here in Boise Friday. I'm damn tempted to attend in an Obama mask and multicolored clown wig. Wonder how many of the locals would get the reference...

[Eric in Boise]

"We're all clowns now."

Quiz Time: Which German Floats are Racist?

A)

B)

C)

D)

E)

F)

And the answer is...

[daddy]

(D) and (F) are RACIST. Their designers should be banned from float-making for life and sentenced to mandatory Sensitivity Training.

(A), (B), (C), and (E), are all hilarious and fun and perfectly acceptable as expressions of Political satire.

A thread about the trial of Shellie Zimmerman for perjury.

[bunkerbuster]

gotta admit, the rodeo clown affair is a rare clean score for the wingnutosphere.
The rodeo clown skit seems funny enough to me, an Obama supporter, and perfectly within the bounds of fair comment and good taste. The idea that it's somehow racist is ludicrous -- and I have a long record of calling wingnuts racists, as you all know.
I like a lot of what ThinkProgress does, but they got this one wrong, for sure, and makes them look so petty and lacking in self awareness.

[Jane -May2014 Be there or Be Square]

The lawlessness of this administration is utterly stunning - and we all sit back and take it. Which one of us will it get first?

[Threadkiller]

Bunker always ends with "...", who are you?

[narciso]

A postscript to that bit of good news, I mentioned the other day, the Bahamian govt weasels, decided to ignore the Panamanian's request and wants to send the refugees back to Cuba,

Reskimming 'American Betrayal' she may have overreached in some points, but the point that the Soviets have determined policy at the highest levels, starting in World War 2, but one can see similar instances of how Cuba and Nicaragua were treated, anyone who challenges how this came about, Whittaker Chambers, Kazan, et al, are at best dismissed, at worst actively demonized, in the media, in education,

Nixon had to be destroyed, because once upon a time, he did challenge them, he was paranoid
'but they were out to get him'. By comparison,
Kennedy was so paranoid about the military, that he furthered the production of Seven Days in May, a flight of deep delusion,

[Captain Hate on an iPhone]

Welcome to the party, bb.

[narciso]

This outlines where the attack against Pope Pius came from, the Litvinenko bit, sounds a little like that Magnum episode, where the Sadat assasination was blamed on a plot by the Russian Agent Ivan, but otherwise.

BunkerBuster;

Gotta agree with you that the Status Quo Soros Bund tend to be led with their dicks. Whatever 'feels good' seems to attract the most hysteric and immutably ignorant traffic available to the human species. They cross-post other people's research, or lack thereof, with equal passion, but the critical element missing from {dialogue?} discussions is perspective and passion for keeping the factual record straight.

I don't think Progressives can be faulted with all the blame itr, but I don't expect a quid-pro-quo from the Right.

[narciso]

Some jackalope on Soros's Calliope comes with a notion, it doesn't have to remotely conform with the facts, and the press run with, like Mr. Burns's dogs. When some actually point out real evidence of Obama malfeasance, it is diminished ignored, and the person is made an example.

[narciso]

This is relatively near beer;

Why do identity conservatives insist on fetishizing their perceptions of failure in the free marketplace of ideas?
