Howard Dean, everyone else turned him down.

LOL, except nah, Jean Francios Querrie wouldn’t turn him down.

we both have a ‘farmer tan’. Snicker-snort.

So, are you calling Obama a redneck? He really is post-racial.

Sounds like he loves Lieberman to me. Hillary on both tickets? Now Lieberman on both tickets. Lieberman/clinton for the GOP; clinton/Lieberman for the Dems.

Speaking of which. For those who saw the picture of BO in Wonkette in which he’s carrying a snorkle that we Hope isn’t his member…Strange how his skin is whiter everywhere except his face, neck and arms. I guess almost anyone can make their skin darker but, doesn’t that mean he’s whiter than the average ‘African American’?
I know this doesn’t matter to his sycophants, yet i find it amusing that he’s like me; we both have a ‘farmer tan’. Snicker-snort.

My money is on either Sunday evening or late monday morning.

As it says in the Bible, the meek shall inherit the earth, if some misfortune befalls the Lamb of Odd who talks away the sins of the world.

Baldilocks = Real Class Act.

Could team One be so shrewd as to sandbag us with Hillary?

She needs no vetting, she brings a huge block of voters, she’s pretty good at running, BJ will campaign like mad for the ticket, she probably won’t hose up a debate, she’s out of the picture (if elected) AND don’t forget how historic it will be (no chance of that with NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, et. al reminding people of it 24/7).

As the messiah, doesn’t he need 12 instead of just one?

This is not nearly as complex as what Charlie Eppes has to deal with, so it should be much easier. Why a five year old child should be able to come up with the answer using this method.

We should be able to just convert all the possible VP’s names to numbers and go from there. Multiply them all out times the number of houses that each possibility has and we should get our VP nominee. Even a 5 year old should be able to do it and it should work for both parties too.

Let me see: four times five is twelve, and four times six is thirteen, and four times seven is fourteen and four times eight is – oh my! I shall never get to who the VP nominees will be at this rate! However, the Multiplication Table doesn’t really signify, so let’s try Geography. Yes, Geography should do it for sure! Iraq borders Pakistan and Putin is the President of Germany and America has 57 states, – no, that’s all wrong, I’m certain!

I must be trying to over analyze all this and make it too complicated. That must be it. I can’t make head nor tail out of it now.Somebody run out and find a five year old child. Until then we should probably all just stick with pulling names out of our a$$es and stay with that. At least for now until I get the bugs worked out in my geographical mathematical VP formula and someone can find a five year old child to interpret it.

He really should pick somebody who had a successful dump yesterday.

After a certain age, every dump is a successful dump.

He said he was looking for not just a partner but a sparring partner. “I want somebody who’s independent, somebody who can push against my preconceived notions and challenge me so we have got a robust debate in the White House.”

That’s a wonderful soundbite but Obama doesn’t come off as the kind of politician that really means it when he says he wants “robust debate.” All the talk about an independent VP leads me to believe that perhaps it is a dark horse. James Traficant out of jail yet?

I try to surround myself with people who are about getting the job done, and who are not about ego, self-aggrandizement, getting their names in the press . . . .

In other words, I want a VP who is completely unlike me, said Obama.

Reid was against the surge too.

Not only do they not get to lose Iraq, the get a VP who voted in favor of the war.

It will take at least a day or two for them to fall back in line after soiling their diapers and yelling at mom.
