I think that Mike Bloomberg has done a tremendous job in his eight years as the Mayor. In 2005, when he was running for his second term, I was asked about this and I said, I am a Virginian now, but if I lived in New York, I would vote for Mike Bloomberg.
I was running late for work this morning (man, am I typing that sentence A LOT lately!) and I caught a bit of NY1 on the way out. When the segment ended, the classic “scary political ad chords” began to play and so I watched. Who knew there was a political race on?! Mike Bloomberg keeps sending me “Vote Mike” postcards, so I know he’s not taking my mayoral bid very seriously.
Anyway, the ad goes on and on — evil, no-bid, lawyers (cue suspense murder chords) the whole thing was so laughable, I LAUGHED…right up until…”Paid for by Jon Corzine for Governor.”
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
I have not seen a single poll. Nor read a single news story. I do not even know the NAME of Corzine’s opponent. But, my friends, I *assure you* if Jon Corzine is at the place where he has to run the kind of ad I saw this morning, that race is over and Corzine has lost.
Sad.
We still get to keep the blackish President and filibuster-proof Senate, though…right?
RIGHT??????
Rush Limbaugh is a birther! BAHAHAHAHAHA
On his show today, Limbaugh told listeners, “As you know, I’m in the midst of another harassing audit from New York State and New York City for the last three years. We’re up to 16 different ways I have to prove to New York City and state tax authorities where I have been every day – not just work week – but every day, for the past three years.”
He continued, “Barack Obama has yet to have to prove that he’s a citizen. All he has to do is show a birth certificate. He has yet to have to prove he’s a citizen. I have to show them 14 different ways where the h— I am every day of the year for three years.”
Say whatever you want about the most liberal commentators: Olbermann, Maddow, even Janeane Garofalo, if any one of them had suggested (*on air,* no less) that former President George W. Bush orchestrated the September 11th attacks, they’d be laughed out on their asses so fast by Democrats/ liberals.
However, here is the Republican standard bearer, who is quoted and requoted within an inch of his very loud mouth, spewing birther conspiracy theories! I love it. May the Republican party continue on this path for the rest of my life. Please dear, lord, please!
Oh, and in other awesome news: Michael Steele *credits* Joe the Plumber with helping the Republicans get their “groove” back in the last Presidential campaign!
We couldn’t even argue the basics of the economy in the last election effectively, and it took a happenstance conversation with a plumber before we could really begin to get that groove.
This is the same Joe the plumber who is neither a Joe, nor a plumber AND (by the by) blasted Steele for trying to make the Republican party “hip hop” (presumably because Steele is black and that’s how we do.):
“At a meeting of conservative activists in Milwaukee, Mr. The Plumber had some tough words for the RNC chairman: “Unfortunately we have a chairman up there who wants to redefine conservatism; he wants to make it hip hop, put it in a new package and sell it.”
And then people wonder why Meghan Mccain calls Joe the Plumber “a dumbass”?
Dude, why don’t I stay up watching MSNBC *every* night?
Obama ’12.
Job losses in June reach 9.5%.
Just like the Republicans predicted, these are the highest levels of national unemployment in 26 years… when Jimmy Carter was President!
Oh. Wait.
As part of my new commitment to respond to Republican criticism of President Obama and the Democratic Congress, I was tweeting up a storm about all the wonderful changes the Democratic leadership has brought to my life in just five short months. Michael Bates succintly summarizes my ten minutes worth of work thusly:
$700,000,000,000 stimulus = Dawn Summers ‘way employed’ and driving a Beemer. Clearly a sound investment.
hahahahaahahahah
Well played, Sir, well played. #Fist shake
Is it wrong that my first response to this post is to start a fundraising drive for a one way ticket to Italy? (Apologies for making you click the link to yet another irrational, Republican screed about how they always support America all the time *except for this one time.* #Facepalm.)
I mean, I would pay, but I’ve got Prince Eli to support now…but I think if we all kick in 10, 20 bucks, we could get this done! Plus, I’ve got a birthday coming up and besides a Kindle, this really would be the thing I want most in all the land!
Oh and, of course, I will personally drive her to the airport and takes me scissors to her U.S. passport. AND THERE WILL BE VIDEO!!!
You know, I actually think it’s the left wing media elite hoisting this girl up as the spokesman of the Republican party. She is not smart, she is not interesting and she cannot successfully defend the Republican position against the likes of seasoned television pundits like Begala. To have Ms. Mccain as the Republican voice on a panel is to have no Republican voice at all…oh, wait a minute. What am I saying?
Carry on.
The retarded right on twitter, publishing some crap like “President Obama takes his daughters out for ice cream while Iranians suffer,” have officially ended my bemused neutrality.
Now, I can’t say for certain if these numbnuts voted for President Blinky McBlinkerson who stumbled through a children’s book while my fucking city burned and A MAYOR had to lead the country for a few days because Vice President Vader was hiding in a bunker. Or voted to reelect the same brain trust who patted his FEMA head on the back while a majority American city disappeared beneath the flood waters, but I’d say it was a fair guess.
And so it’s on. I’ve got the President’s back now and forever. You will hear nothing agin him from me and if you criticize him, I’m coming for you.
You criticize a black man for taking his little girls out for ice cream on the first day of summer?
Congratulations, haters, now you’ve got Dawn Summers to contend with.
Is this because the Jews won’t let you talk to Jeremiah Wright?
Is Ayers sleeping on the couch? Is he? You can tell me, brah?
(Did Dawn just really call the leader of the free world, “brah”?)
