Video: Silky’s manager rips Hillary’s manager for bringing up Obama’s drug use again

Stooges three: Joe Trippi of Team Silky, Mark Penn of Glacier HQ, and David Axelrod of Forward Base Audacity. Penn really, really wants to put this unpleasantness with the cocaine and the snorting and the youthful snorting of cocaine behind him because the campaign certainly doesn’t condone attacks about cocaine-snorting. Oh, and the stuff about Obama wanting to be president since he was in the womb? Just a joke, dude. And such a good one that it’s still up on the campaign website.

Come for Trippi’s facial reactions, stay for the odd congruence between how appealing each of these guys is vis-a-vis how appealing their three candidates are relative to each other. Advantage: Axelrod. Exit question, per See-Dubya: Is there going to be anything left of the nominee by the time we get a crack at him (or, gulp, her)?

Is he kidding? We can’t win simply because the other dudes and dudettes are beating themselves silly. We’ve got to win on our own merit.

That said, it does help that they’re beating each other up. There’ll be a lot of bitterness come the fall.

Nah….it’ll be a good old fashion revival. Hands clapping, back slapping, stomp your feet, hum along hate fest. The Dems may be onery but the Reps are evil.

Just a joke, dude. And such a good one that it’s still up on the campaign website.

Wow. Great catch, Allah. Better get a screen shot of that one. It’s even worse when you read it straight from their website than it is when it’s been filtered through the MSM.

I, for one, am willing to overlook Obama’s drug dealing. But I’m worried that others won’t.

This is too funny,I’m watching the Political Life of Brian
I mean Obama,he said it again,cocaine,”Blasphemy”!

Exit Answer: The less scraps left, the better. Wouldn’t it be nice if all our future GOP nominee has to do for campaigning is just point at the Dem, and say “Remember how he/she got to be the Democratic nominee? Is that who you want running the country?”

Edwards totally won the debate, and if he wins the election, Christopher Reeve is going to get up and walk again!

The thought that any of these three schlubs could end up in positions of authority in the Executive branch is absolutely blood curdling.

Yeesh.

I think we should be focusing on the fact that the “first black president and his wife” is suggesting that the first “clean and articulate black man” running for the presidency of the United States of America might have been a “cocaine dealer”.
Why? Does “black experimentation” automatically includes black drug dealing?
I have never heard that said about any of the high profile white libs who have admitted “experimenting” with drugs most of their lives.
CONSERVATIVES SHOULD BE USING THAT FACT TO NAIL LIBERAL DEMOCRATS A#* TO THE WALL.
ME LIBERAL-ME NO RACIST. YEAH RIGHT.

Hilarys man isn’t nicknamed Pig Penn for nothing. Penn and the Clintons=2 sleaze peas in a pod.

Huck already has experience trying to raise Reagan from the dead; so he does have the credentials.

Penn: “…with the cocaine use…”
Trippi: “There you go again, mentioning cocaine!”
Penn: “You said it too! You said Obama cocaine!”
Trippi: “Every chance you get, you bring up Obama’s cocaine use. It’s just reprehensible the way you’ll stop at nothing to bring up Senator Barack Obama’s youthful indulgences in Peruvian nose candy.”
Penn: “Look, if you’ll let me finish, and stop interrupting, I’m trying to say that Barack Obama’s cocaine use is not something we’re trying to…”
Trippi: “YOU SAID IT AGAIN! You’re talking about Obama’s use AGAIN!”
Axelrod: “Umm, aren’t we about due for a commercial?”

see-dubya on December 13, 2007 at 11:52 PM

The whole Democrat side is completely nuts.

It’s like watching some idiotic teen 80’s movie or something.

HOW in the HELL can they be trusted to run ANYTHING???

benrand on December 14, 2007 at 4:04 AM

I think it is funny when people use the passive aggressive technique like:

I don’t agree with people stating the fact that Hillary is a Maniacal b-tch or that the fact that Barak Hussein Obama attending a Muslim madras as a child should preclude his being present or that his admission he did a lot of blow in his life means he still abuses drugs.

All this back-and-forth - I have one comment - as a total GOP advocate and loyalist.

Obama (himself) has handled all this in a very classy manner.

The man has class.

Hillary (and her advocates) are class-less.

jake-the-goose on December 14, 2007 at 8:35 AM

Actually, Obama’s man sounded and looked pretty strong. The others are slimeballs.

right2bright on December 14, 2007 at 9:18 AM

Heh. David Axelrod sounding and looking pretty strong? You just don’t know him yet; but it’s early. He’s a Chicago based political consultant — enough said. Calling him a sewer rat would be an affront to sewer rats worldwide.

And if Mark Penn were your manager, would you put his 100-pounds-overweight-and-in-desperate-need-of-a-haircut arse in an ill-fitting sportcoat and let him in front of a camera?

As for Joe Tripping, he’s talking about John Edwards and “working class Americans”. You can’t make this stuff up.

Jaibones on December 14, 2007 at 9:51 AM

So when is someone going to ask Hillary if she’s ever used drugs? It really needed to be done during a debate where she can’t use her Myrmidons do fend it off.
