A stand O for O. Wonder if they will be doing that in a year or so?
Tommy_G on January 8, 2009 at 10:37 PM
I liked Cheney’s face when Pelosi stood up out of nowhere and started clapping by herself.
amerpundit on January 8, 2009 at 10:38 PM
That should be standing O for O. Sorry for the bad grammar.
Tommy_G on January 8, 2009 at 10:38 PM
I think I’m going to take up residence in the State of Denial for a while. I refuse to accept this man as our new leader.
cannonball on January 8, 2009 at 10:38 PM
If he talks to Hamas he is not my leader either.
Firebird on January 8, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Every (free) populace deserves its leaders.
Congratulations Americans!
Entelechy on January 8, 2009 at 10:41 PM
Cheney= grown up.
Pelosi= mental midget.
This is only a confirmation of something that still makes me want to throw up in my mouth. President Obama.

Wait until you see a press conference with Obarfa up front while Senators Princess Caroline and Al Franken smile warmly in the background.
You’ll be doing the ‘Team America’ puke scene.

Somehow Nancy Pelosi’s solo ovation reminded me of an overexcited parent at the elementary school play.

i have decided to celebrate jan.20,2009 by flying my flag upside down for the next four years.
samiam on January 8, 2009 at 10:49 PM
Yeah, I’ve said all along he’s not MY president, but I’ll REALLY mean it if he talks to Hamas.
Can you all EVEN believe what we’re all going through now?!

Pelosi jumps up and claps like a rabid seal just after Cheney mentions the House of Representatives. She must have been thinking, “Ooh, yay! That’s us!”
Tuning Spork on January 8, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Well- If Drywall is out there, I guess this is where I have to acknowledge Obama has been “officially proclaimed” President-Elect.
(He still isn’t holding government office until 1/20, but there you go.)
cs89 on January 8, 2009 at 10:52 PM
Aw, no. Don’t do that to our lovely flag! Wear an armband or something!
HEY!!! MONEY MAKER ALERT!!! You know those rubbery bracelets (like Lance Armstrong’s LIVE STRONG)? We need black ones that say BO STINKS. Just black-on-black so the wording isn’t obvious so we don’t cause a scene.
Oink on January 8, 2009 at 10:53 PM

samiam on January 8, 2009 at 10:56 PM
and about those wrist bands….what if i want to make a scene. the founding fathers made a huge scene and whammo we got a free republic with liberty and justice for all. i will be glad to make a scene if our liberty is endangered by the idiot in chief.
samiam on January 8, 2009 at 10:58 PM
Well, I can understand what you’re saying, but I just wouldn’t do that to our flag. That’s just my respectful, humble opinion.
I know we’re in distress. I’d send up flares if I thought it would help.

I liked Cheney’s sideways smile when she clapped.
(What? He always smiles sideways.)
cs89 on January 8, 2009 at 11:00 PM
About causing a scene… you know, I think we conservatives are just TOO conservative at times! I sincerely believe we will be in the streets, doing marches and protests, carrying signs and chanting before it’s over. We’ll have to!

Conservatives don’t do street protests.
Revolution, maybe. Standing around with a goofy sign and chanting- Not so much.
cs89 on January 8, 2009 at 11:07 PM
Yeah, she just could not help herself. Who stands up and claps for themselves? I bet that’s the first and last time this Congress gets a standing o.

Jan 8 2012 – Joe Biden will be giving the same speech as he announces the majority for Sarah Palin. You think Pelosi will still be around?
izoneguy on January 8, 2009 at 11:10 PM
Right, we haven’t done street protests and look where it’s got us. I, for one, have always simply believe that what’s right will always prevail. I need to rethink that.
Oink on January 8, 2009 at 11:11 PM
yes oink conservatives can be too conservative. but lucky for you i am a reformed democrat who suddenly discovered hey i’m a conservative. but i have not forgotten how to be a loud obnoxious scene maker(democrat).
samiam on January 8, 2009 at 11:13 PM
Cheney should have said something witty and demeaning to Pelosi.
OneGyT on January 8, 2009 at 11:14 PM
Good deal samiam! Your background will probably come in handy! :) We’ll look to you to organize a march.

Whazza? Of course Butterfly Kisses will still be around; they’ll have to drag her out after she finally keels over after serving her 40th term.
Look at Byrd, he actually died three years ago and no one in Congress realizes it yet.

samiam on January 8, 2009 at 11:17 PM
That would have been pretty satisfying too. But she probably would have screamed.
(Wait, what do I mean “but”? That would have been hilarious!)
OneGyT on January 8, 2009 at 11:17 PM
If there was the slightest bit of self-awareness, much less self-discipline in the liberal left, they would be now be saying: “Well, I guess all that stuff about Bush and Cheney destroying the Constitution and taking over as dictators was just a bunch of childishness that we really ought to be embarrassed about now.”
What they will actually say is: …..
Yes, being a liberal means never having to say you’re sorry, or feel embarrasment. That’s why it is so appealing to those of low integrity.
drunyan8315 on January 8, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Pelosi, what a goof. Positively bubbling over like she just found a pony underneath the Christmas tree.
Tzetzes on January 8, 2009 at 11:22 PM
I have a suggestion.
Let’s just visualize Joe Biden certifying the next Republican President in 2012 and Eric Cantor sitting in the Speaker’s Chair.
Texas Gal on January 8, 2009 at 11:24 PM
Hey Nancy, do you mind if we drill your brain?
Mallard T. Drake on January 8, 2009 at 11:25 PM
There are times to tell someone to “F— off” or to call someone an “a——-”, as Cheney has, and times not to. He did well just to keep it at a grin.
Tzetzes on January 8, 2009 at 11:25 PM
im an optimist i figure with all the shit piling up in d.c. the has to be a pony there somewhere.

An Obasm. It’s all about the “O,” you know.
smellthecoffee on January 8, 2009 at 11:36 PM
I’m old enough to remember Tom Foley’s total contrast between his overly constipated look at Bush 41′s last SotU in ’92 and his attempt at jollity during Clinton’s first in ’93.
I can only imagine what Ms. Pelosi will do to top this.
(I said I can. I didn’t say I want to.)

lsutiger on January 9, 2009 at 12:09 AM
Lim, Cheshire Cat, indeed. To be sure, I ‘congratulate’ myself too, when I say that. I blame only the conservatives who voted for the O, the ones who voted for Paul, Barr, or their goat, the ones who stayed home, and the former “independents”, now ‘independents’.
I can never blame the other gnats, sheep and pigs at the trough, lead by their erudite and exploiting overlords, who claim to be “for the people”. Modern day serfdom is fully deserved. The idiots ask for it freely. Their own masters live like kings, and care not about their plebs. Do you think that Soros and the Obamas give a rats ars about anyone? If you do, you live on a different planet.
Not to pardon all the faults of the arrogant ‘leadership’ bunch from the right, who’re miraculously still in the same position. America, self included, deserve fully what we’ve asked for. May we suffer really, really badly, so we wake up, or perish as we used to be, as we’d deserve.
I never thought I’d live through the day when a free people voluntarily march toward serfdom. The “shiny city on a hill” was dimmed. Only now and then I see a flickering light, trying to hang on. Wake me up in a couple of years.

Well, the dems didn’t vote for Bush, and they didn’t accept him as their president, so turn about is fair play. Besides, we were voting for President of the United States of America, not a messiah.

There would be no pandering RINOs like McCain if no voters sought pork, so I blame only the voters who claim they oppose liberal government, but then collect Social Security, Medicare, subsidies, bail-outs, and every other socialist entitlement there is.
TMK on January 9, 2009 at 12:41 AM
You blame the conservatives for staying home? Funny, I blame people like you for not giving us a candidate we could vote for. Instead of nominating someone that actually believes in his party, you nominated a subversive who couldn’t articulate a message if you gave him a giant crayon. Who’s your personal trainer? An athlete, or a fat guy that’s trying to invent a moving floor so he’ll never have to walk again? The GOP isn’t the communist party; we don’t line up behind appartichiks because they demand it; you want our vote, do something to earn it. Moderates like you and the GOP said McCain, or else…we chose else. I’d rather stand for what I believe, and be rolled over, than kneel behind the likes of you, or John McCain. Take your ‘congratulations’, and stick it.
And honestly, what is with blaming the conservatives anyway? Didn’t you guys have your big moment in the sun when you got Backdoor John the nomination..oh I remember the crowing..’Conservatism is dead.’ ‘Rush Limbaugh is irrelevant.’ ‘We don’t need people like Ann Coulter anymore.’ Funny how when you got the nomination, it was the power of the moderates, the new breed, that would prevail. Then when your doddering wreck of a candidate got his a** owned by a nobody out of the most crooked political machine in the country, suddenly, it’s all the conservatives fault because we didn’t support him. I thought you didn’t need our support, Entel. I thought we were irrelevant. YOU got the candidate you wanted…the one who wanted to win without the conservatives..the one who was going to win using other demographics..which turned out to be a bunch of hogwash. YOU got the candidate you deserved…he sucked, we all knew he would never win..and he lost. You own it. You live with it. Stop trying to blame the ones you dismissed as irrelevant. Go look in a mirror and shut up.

At least hillbillyjim got it.

austinnelly, I live in San Diego, was for Romney or Fred. I fought with that pro McCain lady from Texas and called him “spent”, often. Go google the site. Once the primary was over, what choice did we have? I resented both, and could only choose not-the-One.
You can’t shut me, nor anyone up, yet. Be glad for that.
Other than that I always did respect you, and still do,

Yes – I’ve said many times that I’d let the government keep all the forced SS funds they stole from me, so long as they’d let me not pay any going forward. We’re ruined from the left, to the right, as I often said. Our own dictators wish to shut us up. We deserve everything, and more. It’s all self-inflicted, from both sides.

Just for ex. – I read all of Ann’s books and support her in all the threads I can. You can google them. Much more, similar, in there.
Entelechy on January 9, 2009 at 1:32 AM
You are so completely off base directing that rant at Entelechy; It is like you are some newby here rather than one of the old timers, and clueless about who Entelechy is and what her history is like.
There are about five people here at Hot Air that you would would be absolutely on target with those charges. The one you directed it to is NOT one of them.
LegendHasIt on January 9, 2009 at 1:43 AM
………. and so it begins.
Say “good bye” to any accountability, free and open legislation debates, the filling of our courts with any objective judges who rule by law rather than by political ideology………..
Say “hello” to the masters behind the scenes of the leftist liberal Democratic party who used to hide in the shadows to corrupt our society, but are now free to run in the streets with the environmentalists telling you how to live your lives, where to work, what to eat, what to drive, and if need be, when to die…..
……… they are in charge, the American people voted for it, and now, for maybe two generations of propaganda, spin, educational influence, Hollywood movies, TV shows, the Press being totally in the bag, late night jokes, and on, and on, and on………..
……………. this is the end, people, mark your calenders well and remember to tell your children of a country that was once great and free.
My bet, the “Fairness Doctrine” passed under cover of Nancy Pelosi’s new rules within the first minute of Mr. Obama taking the “Oath of Office”……….
……… after that…….. well, I have prepared, I only hope you have also.
Here is to………….. fu#k it, here is to what was, and was squandered by the Republicans when they had the chance….
Remember that face of joy of Pelosi and all the other Democrats clapping and jumping for joy……….
………….. if anything else…….. remember that.

Welcome economic stimulus and tax breaks to those that pay no taxes.
Welcome to spreading the wealth around and redistribution of our tax dollars.
Welcome to envoys to terrorist and recognition of Hamas.
Welcome to intelligence agencies with no intelligence.
Welcome to the United Socialist of America.
Once you start this… it’s hard to stop. Just look at Social Security.

You have obviously missed Entelechy logical relevance.
Obama lead a campaign of hope and change, which appealed to a lot of people emotions.

Kini on January 9, 2009 at 2:20 AM
What sickens me is the willingness of the Republican “leadership” in Congress to jump enthusiastically on the Stimulus Bandwagon, with a few meaningless bones thrown their way.
The economy always has and will run in cycles. All of this gloom talk is a sham, designed to make anything other than a total disaster look like a stunning success, with the
MessiahMistake basking in His reflected glory. The truly sad part is how many suckers are falling for this hogwash.It’s all going according to plan. They have turned a naturally occurring economic downturn into a “desperate crisis” of epic proportions, with all of the oblicatory comparisons to the Great Depression. Next step is to pour massive amounts of our money (and our children’s) into their socialist projects and federally created (and dependant) jobs. Then, it’s all over but the crying, as our media is not likely to call attention to what is happening, since the majority are partial to the progressive agenda as a matter of course.
In a word, f@#%ed.
