No One Left To Snark To

Back in the day Christopher Hitchens wrote a history of the Clinton experience, titled "No One Left To Lie To". I am looking to the inevitable history of the Obama debacle titled "No One Left to Snark To". We elected a a candidate who slyly gave the finger to both Hillary and John McCain and he has eagerly wooed the Beavis and Butthead demographic ever since.

So today, not content with mocking Trump's hair the Voice of Obama mocks Trump's doctor:

President Obama’s top spokesman isn’t buying Donald Trump’s medical report declaring the GOP front-runner would be the healthiest person ever elected president.

“Is the suggestion that Mr. Trump’s doctor conducted a thorough medical examination of President Jefferson and President Adams?” Josh Earnest replied when asked Monday if Trump is healthier than Obama.

“That’s a lot of work — that’s a lot of homework to do,” he added. “Forty-four presidents to take a look at.”

Earnest offered up a generous dose of sarcasm when asked if the billionaire real estate mogul’s doctor deserves to be fact checked.

“From here, I would not call into question the medical credentials of somebody who decides they are ready to conduct a medical examination of Mr. Trump,” the spokesman said. “That must have been a pretty interesting appointment.”

Yeah, whatever - Obama, the ex-coker, ex-pot-head, and maybe ex, maybe current smoker has chimed in.

Insomnia!

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

Does it ever occur to any of these journalists to tell Earnest to go fuck himself? What would they lose to not have access to such a witless dunce?

[henry]

CH, their membership card in the witless dunce club?

[Black Hat]

I found the doctor's letter amusing, and then I thought about it. Trump directed this at Hillary, not the 40-something senators. If Trump lands up being the nominee, he will make an issue of her fall which was rumored to be caused by a stroke (though she's denied that).

[Buckeye]

CH

I bet the number of reporters in the briefing room not in the tank for Zero is pretty small.

But even given that, the number who wouldn't like to slap the shit out of Earnest probably even smaller.

[Jack is Back!]

Isn't this the kind of juvenile playground snarks usually left to Harry Reid? Hard to fathom the depth petulance reached by having a manboy's apologist use the President's office to make such charges.

Eejit!

[James D.]

Earnest really is the scum of the Earth. What a completely despicable human being.

[peter]

You will recall Bill Clinton was the first modern Presidential candidate who suppressed his medical records.

[Buckeye]

"You will recall Bill Clinton was the first modern Presidential candidate who suppressed his medical records."

Genital warts are not becoming.

Meanwhile, any potential news is ignored by those worried about what Trump says.

Jeff, you don't have a picture of a capybara at a podium?

[Marlene]

Good Morning! Re: the Brit lit list. Stephanie and Man Tran, don't worry, I think I've read two! Ha. I've read many of those authors,but not the books on the list. Dickens,Shakespeare,Chaucer and George Bernard Shaw in high school.
So many others as an adult,C.S.Lewis is my favorite.

[Marlene]

I recently read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I consider a book a good read when I become oblivious to everything else. I really enjoyed that book.
The movie is great also.

[rse]

Am I the only one who read the children's book Capyboppy to their kids?

http://gianthamster.com/2009/07/book-review-capyboppy-by-bill-peet/

Bill Peet was a Disney cartoonist which is why the graphics in any of his books are so good. I have run into parents with now grown children who have thanked me for introducing their kids to Bill Peet with a birthday present of one of his great books.

[rse]

Marlene-you would like the book Katherine by Anya Seton. It is the story of Geoffrey Chaucer's sil who was a widow and became the mistress of John of Gaunt, Edward III's third son. He had married the great Lancastrian heiress.

The children of Katherine and John of Gaunt will become the Tudor dynasty.

A mesmerizing story.

[Jeff Dobbs]

I've read 4 on the list. Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights and Great Expectations.

Had a period right around the time hit and run jr was born that I was determined to read classics. Got that far (and some Tolstoy) and then just lost momentum.

I'm among those just not "wired" that way.

Thanks rse,I actually have another Anya Seton book on my Kindle now," The Winthrop Woman."

[Jeff Dobbs]

Ah, the good ol' days...

[Jane]

I cannot imagine Josh Earnest keeping a job for 10 minutes that is based on merit.

[ThirdMan]

I need to say that the rule historically is that Republicans are expected to release complete medical records or be accused of a cover-up by the MSM and the Democrats, while Democrats are fine with releasing a note like this from some physician saying that the candidate is the kindest, warmest, most wonderful human being he's ever met in his entire life. Trump is following the Democratic option as Obama did. Is that now OK?

[Janet]

In one of the Gruber videos Gruber mentions Obama going out for a smoking break.

...just a bunch of liars....even about little things. They lie.

[matt]

It really is like a class of 7th graders running the country. Their strategy is to wreck what they can and gum up the works with a 7th Grade political philosophy.

Someone needs to spank Earnest and send him to his room without dinner.

[henry]

matt, a wedgie is implied between spanking and sending to room... a 7th grader might understand that.

[ThirdMan]

No, it actually gives cover to Hillary. If Trump wanted to make her health a real issue, he'd have released his actual records. Since he only released a letter saying that his health is great, just fantastic, he invites Hillary to put out a letter saying she's totally fine, and definitely has not had any strokes in the past 5 years.

matt @ 8:24

Someone needs to re-enact the last few secenes from "Braveheart" with Earnest in the Mel Gibson role.

[Old Lurker]

Well you all can count books all you want looking for who read the most or read the fewest.

But I get the trophy for INTENDING to read them all.

[Janet]

This was a comment at Breitbart about Obama with a pack of cigarettes.
It is the same dance that the administration uses about Islam & ISIS & Islamic terrorism.

a comment at Breitbart -
jackrile dtom2 • 9 hours ago

"Earnest displaying the Liberal Logic Thought Process: Sure it looks like cigarettes, same size as cigarettes, I haven't discussed or asked about it with the president, I don't know what they are, but I do know that they are NOT cigarettes. Who are you going to believe me or that lying set of eyes that you have?"

Earnest displaying the Liberal Logic Thought Process: Sure it looks like Islamic terrorism, same Koran...yelling allahu akbar...sharia law...desiring the Caliphate...wanting to kill infidels...pray to allah...attend a mosque...dress like religious Muslims...want to destroy Israel & kill all Jews, I haven't discussed or asked about it with the president, I don't know what they are, but I do know that they are NOT Muslims. Who are you going to believe me or that lying set of eyes that you have?

What I want to know is how many of you are going to watch the debates tonight? Will Wolf attack with his questions or not?

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

Trump's comment of never consuming alcohol was aimed right at Granny and her 4 year international happy hour; she probably needed a quick tune-up about that. Earnest didn't address that as he sipped his Shirley Temple (apologies to the namesake for being obliquely tied to that pinworm).

[Old Lurker]

Not me, cuz.

[henry]

Which asylum unleashes its inmates on the candidates tonight?

[Miss Marple 2]

Regarding the health issue:

What will happen is what you saw Josh the Jerk beginning:

Snarky comments followed by a demand for the complete records.

So Trump releases them, pointing out that Hillary has not.

I am positive he means to make her health an issue because the other day he slipped in a comment that she didn't have "the strength or stamina" to be president.

[henry]

Miss M, nice catch. it does sound like Trump's standard deliberate rollout of an attack.

[Jeff Dobbs]

I can't watch the debate. I have no beer.

I could stop and get beer on the way home. But then I'd have to watch the debate.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

Buckeye, I can't imagine anybody packing at least a molecule of testosterone not wanting to stomp Earnest into a puddle of goo.

[buccaneer morgan]

So state run media is just lying about the last trump rally, deja by to 2008, and their enablers have shut down atkinson's YouTube channel.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

Not watching but bonus points to the first candidate bringing up Blitzer's pathetic Jeopardy performance. Give me "Things the Duke and Duke Finishing School Forbids Me to Say" for a billion, Alex.

[henry]

schadenfreude never tasted so good.

lettuce is 3 times worse for the environment than bacon. This per Carnegie Mellon, a member of progdom in good standing.

mmmmmm. bacon.

[Miss Marple 2]

I am going to watch the debate. (Well, sort of listen as I will have to watch it in my office so the TV is to my left and I can't really watch and post at the same time.)

I have wine.

I will be looking for the following things:

Whether Rubio goes after Cruz or Trump.

Whether ANYONE asks about this policy of not looking at visa applicant's social media accounts.

If Christie tries to out-bombast Trump.

How long it takes before Kasich references getting his salvation on the taxpayer dime.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

YouTube honing its Stasi credentials. There are lots of IT dweebs who would be very willing to institute some cost saving efficiencies in the Gulag. After all, it's those damn people who keep acting differently than they want them to that keep fucking up Utopia.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

In his third hour Levin echoed my comments of being incredulous about not scrutinizing public social media comments.

[buccaneer morgan]

I'll bet they did but they ignored them, because tot didn't strike them as provocative, six years after ft. Hood, they are still blind as a bat.

The plain stealer is something, no?

[Miss Marple 2]

As has been proven with numerous incidences of unprotected Facebook and Twitter posts, as well as outright hacks, anyone using social media has NO expectation or guarantee of privacy. Anyone putting something on those venues has by using it, acquiesced to information not being private.

Furthermore, if you are NOT a citizen and you are not on US soil, you have zero claim to any constitutional rights.

There is no reason to skip checking social media except for the fact that it would keep some people (notably terrorist sympathizers) out.

[Janet]

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/12/15/what-democratic-race-hillary-coverage-fades-as-gop-dominates-media.html

Here is Virginia, it seems like the Democrat candidate stays quiet & out of the public eye if they are a crappy or controversial candidate.
Then the MFM step in & give relentless negative coverage to the Republican.
Leftist advocacy organizations do the campaigning for the Democrat.

So it becomes MFM/advocacy organizations vs the Republican candidate.

Maybe that will be Hillary's strategy.

It'll be the "MFM-la Raza-NARAL-Sierra Club" machine - vs the Republican candidate.

[James D]

OK, I guess I missed something. What happened to Sharyl Atkisson's youtube channel?

[James D]

I don't think I'll be watching the debates tonight.

I'll be watching the Hallmark Channel, as I've mostly been doing since they began their Countdown to Christmas on November 1st. Tonight it's "A Christmas Detour" starring Candace Cameron Bure.

(does that count as TMI?)

[Miss Marple 2]

Janet,

One advantage Trump has with his years of wheeling, dealing and such is that I would bet cash money he has been at events with some of the people in those groups, and ALL of them have asked him for money.

Remember the incident of Lindsey Graham's cell phone? The reason Trump had that cell phone number is that Graham had hit him up for donations.

I will bet Trump has a letter from the Sierra Club praising him for his environmentally sensitive work on some hotel or casino and asking him for money.

[Janet]

Monitoring social media would make it hard to explain how Islam has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism.
Which visited sites are "bad" will be hard to differentiate...since the problem is Islam.

[Threadkiller]

Are the ears still "off limits?"

[Threadkiller]

I think the note is bait, just like everything else.

Once everyone is wound up, he will release something that backs it up.

[jimmyk on iPad]

James D, Youtube informed Attkisson that her news show could not be posted on Youtube. I don't think a reason was given.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

What has my local fish wrap done this time, let the Restraining Order's fatassed second wife resume her sappy column?

Yes, James, narc had a Twitchy link about the YouBoob thought police not having room at their site for Attkisson.

[Threadkiller]

Here is daddy's link from the last thread:

http://donsurber.blogspot.com/2015/12/when-don-imus-asked-question-we-all.html?spref=tw

We should ask all the other Presidents, Josh?

[jimmyk on iPad]

I should say, could no longer be posted on Youtube.

[MaryD]

Who is the Restraining Order's fatassed second wife? and what is her sappy column? Inq minds want to know. :-)

[Marlene]

MM,those logging pictures are fascinating. Did you notice the chains around the logs? When the Penobscot River is low,those chains can be seen at the bottom of the river.
Hubby has salvaged quite a few of those chains,dragging them on the kayak. They are rusted after being in the water for decades,but they are as heavy and strong as the day they were made.

[jimmyk]

Earnest is like that kid in the GEICO commercial people were talking about yesterday.

[Puddin Floppy-Feet]

matt,

Frederick is a 7th grader and he and his classmates would do a much better job, politely and with grace and humor, than the current bozo and his band of eejits. Today we (parents) drive them to the Bridgehampton Senior Center where they serve lunch, sing Christmas carols and talk to the seniors. This is their 3rd trip this year.

So far they are the leading class in Spirit Points.

Yesterday was an eventful near tragic day for them all. They went into the city for The Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall. Six Jitneys full of school kids and teachers. Somewhere on the LIE in Nassau county, a truck swerved in front of one of the buses and they collided. Tore the front off the bus and jammed the main door. Had to rescue the kids via the emergency windows. None hurt but one of the kids shaken up. All 2nd and 6th graders.

Rest of the buses went on to the show but those kids had to go back to school. It could have been worse.

BTW, my new handle is from the "What is your Elf Name" posted yesterday.

[NK]

Earnest has the ability to lie and obnoxiously snark.... shamelessly. Unfortunately POS like that will always find employment in this world.

[Miss Marple 2]

jimmyk,

EXCELLENT! You are exactly right!

[NK]

puddin'-- oh no. Terrible that a bunch of kids day out in Manhattan was ruined like that. Get some golf in today, weather is perfect.

[jimmyk]

Here's the Twitchy link on Attkisson:

http://twitchy.com/2015/12/14/youtube-suspends-investigative-reporter-sharyl-attkissons-full-measure-news/

"Violated Community Guidelines." My guess is that there was a massive coordinated attack, on the show, perhaps by Soros's minions (clicking on "Report" and complaining). No excuse for Youtube though.

[James D]

Earnest is MUCH worse than the kid in the GEICO commercial.

[Puddin Floppy-Feet]

NK,

Earnest is a perfect fit for Elon Musk, who wants us to colonize Mars before the Earth "blows up". His words not mine.

[jimmyk]

Too bad, PFF. I avoid the LIE like the plague, along with I-95. No good can ever come from driving on those two roads.

[Captain Hate on the iPad]

MaryD, the Restraining Order's fatassed second wife is named Connie Schultz and she used to write a horrible column in the local fish wrap until their in house ambulance chasers advised them it was unwise to do so when her deadbeat husband was running for the US Senate.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-12-15/all-los-angeles-schools-closed-due-credible-terror-threat

[Miss Marple 2]

Presser on now. Threats to several schools. Backpacks and such were mentioned.

All schools closed. All 6 superintendents have been alerted. Each school's plant managers are to walk schools and if they see anything out of order, call police. Don't touch anything.

[Miss Marple 2]

At least it seems the Los Angeles schools is taking the terror threat seriously.

Concerned about kids who walk, is making sure they get home safely.

[Miss Marple 2]

LAPD chief. Received electronic threat.

Due to threat they contacted schools and LA schools police and FBI. Threat is still being analyzed.

[Buckeye]

If the muzzies make the mistake of going after school kids, will the California liberals start calling for boots on the ground?

[Art in Newport]

If terrorists actually harm any Mexican school kids, there will be backlash, seriously.

[Jane]

So has Obama left for Hawaii yet. He can fly over and wave at LA.

[Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki]

Nice logging pics, MM.
A brutal life back then.

[MaryD]

Thanks, CH!

[Jane]

I will be watching both debates...for the good of the country.

[Jeff Dobbs]

I'm glad you're on it, Jane!

I'm not watching the debates...for the children.
