And after I’d gone ahead and cancelled this year’s shipment. Ah well. I only pray that you all didn’t panic like I did after Elizabeth’s communique on Tuesday.
Edwards eventually told Collins that his plan to curb global warming would have a “cost impact. No question about it,” but then his press shop ruined the “candid” moment by calling back to clarify:
Yesterday morning, a spokesman for the Edwards campaign called to clarify his position. The global warming program would not require families to pay more for everyday products, he said. “We are optimistic we will not have to raise the price of tangerines.”
“That’s fine,” you say, “but what about the emissions, AP? Cost is constant but those darned emissions increase from having to transport the tangerines over long distances.” True — but there’s a solution to that too. GE is there for you, my friends. Just think of them as frequent anti-flier miles: Pay for those tangerines with plastic and from now on they offset themselves.

But Is Mrs. Pony still going to pay me to drink domestic wine every time she wants pineapple?
TunaTalon on July 26, 2007 at 9:12 PM
Attention Tangerine Farmers:
I have a cousin Luigi who can….er….make sure this lunacy doesn’t happen again.
(For a small fee of course)
infidel4life on July 26, 2007 at 9:15 PM
Aint that the truth?
But what out for Ron Paul castings they are too hot and will burn your vegetables.
TheSitRep on July 26, 2007 at 9:23 PM
Yeah, I’m sure Ron Paul knows where a tangerines natural habitat is, a grocery store.
Kini on July 26, 2007 at 9:29 PM
She belches a lot of carbon dioxide every time she breathes. Is she going to stop doing that?
SouthernGent on July 26, 2007 at 9:31 PM
There is a Teresa Hinez joke in there somewhere……
ericire12 on July 26, 2007 at 9:33 PM
Maybe they realized that citrus growers from Florida and California might not be too happy with Elizabeth E’s comments.
INC on July 26, 2007 at 9:33 PM
ericire12, I was thinking she’s as bad as Theresa, but without the zing of zaniness we got from T. Heinz.
INC on July 26, 2007 at 9:34 PM
You know the Heinz label still kind of makes me cringe when I see it in the grocery store.
Now I guess I guess I’ll start viewing tangerines as objects of liberal insanity.
They need to make sure they don’t continually remind Americans of their leftist ideas every time we go food shopping!
INC on July 26, 2007 at 9:37 PM
What balderdash! That’s all this idiot has going for him, except after his bike ride with Lance Armstrong he said, “My butt hurts!” Looks like Presidential material to me. How about you?
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 26, 2007 at 9:41 PM
As for the Heinz lable, I find the Hunts label just fine.
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on July 26, 2007 at 9:41 PM
Whatever.
Mcguyver on July 26, 2007 at 9:42 PM
OPTOMISTIC ? “Not HAVE TO raise …?”
Noo, Mr. Edwards, don’t HAVE to do anything.
TAX TAX TAX.
Only the uber rich will be able to tangerines - the new status symbol - rather like Chilean Sea Bass. The rubes eat local … what, apples?
Carbon TAX. Wanna talk carbon consumption? Edwards ought to be taxed for 22,000 square feet of construction materials, builder/contractor gas mileages, year-round climate-controlled environment, above and beyond his needs with his family of four.
naliaka on July 26, 2007 at 9:43 PM
Oh no!
I gave 2 bags of tangerines to some homeless guy at the freeway entrance so that he would burn in hell instead of me.
Maybe he is still there and I can get one of the bags back.

I,m still smirking,you nailed it.

It’s not a ripoff, if you want to be ripped off. Or something like that.
Dusty on July 26, 2007 at 9:56 PM

Mojack420 on July 26, 2007 at 10:01 PM
one more time
Mojack420 on July 26, 2007 at 10:02 PM
Heckler’s should sing the opening line of the jazz chestnut “TANGERINE!” wherever John boy shows up.
Then leave.
Edwards is such a lightweight he must carry helium balloons for ballast.
profitsbeard on July 26, 2007 at 10:09 PM
The tangerine syndicate bought them out. Seems pretty clear.

How do marketing executives keep a straight face when they spew this crap? Or are they actually laughing while they speak?
Jaibones on July 26, 2007 at 10:14 PM
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE, we’ve been using Hunts for a looong time!

I’m hottubbing the irony of a bunch of eco-nuts rushing to sign up for General Electric credit cards!
Dusty on July 26, 2007 at 10:35 PM
Heh.

Acid Trip Acid Trip Did someone say Acid Trip ?
sonnyspats1 on July 26, 2007 at 11:02 PM
junk science + voodoo math + snakeoil salesmen = the freakin’ trifecta of the twilight zone!
WTF is wrong with ppl!?!?!?
DOE! (while slapping self in head)
lsutiger on July 26, 2007 at 11:14 PM
They’re laughing all the way to the bank.
SouthernGent on July 26, 2007 at 11:17 PM
Does this mean I was duped when I signed up for my new GE Tangerine Rewards Platinum Mastercard? I thought it was a good way to reduce my citrus footprint.

sonnyspats-
You want a real acid trip? Here’s a winner.
Rushbaby-
Thanks for the catsup link.
I’m trying the organic.

profitsbeard on July 26, 2007 at 11:56 PM
I buy this stuff by the caseload and give it as gifts. People absolutely love it - NO kidding.
RushBaby on July 27, 2007 at 12:05 AM
I swear, I did a spit take when I read that.
Well they said they’re optimistic they won’t have to raise the price of tangerines. I’m optimistic the only way he’ll get in the WH is invitation or paid tour.
PowWow on July 27, 2007 at 12:43 AM
RB - I DO TOO!! I have 1/2 a case of W Ketchup in my pantry right now. It tastes great and I always give it out at Christmas.
Love their e-mails blasting the Dems, too.
Brat on July 27, 2007 at 8:14 AM
Since General Electric is on-board to promote the fraudulent global warming scam, I will do my best to never buy another General Electric product.
