Video: Fox & Friends cover Milk Carton Politicians
posted at 11:36 am on August 17, 2009 by Ed Morrissey
The gang at Fox & Friends gave a nice spotlight on my Milk Carton Politicians post
this morning, and had some fun with the tongue-in-cheek idea themselves. They even have a better milk-carton graphic for people to use, and notice the politicians who wind up on the side: New Hampshire Representatives Paul Hodes and Carol Shea-Porter, and Senators Barbara Boxer and Chuck Schumer. Maybe Steve Doocy can keep this going as a regular feature the rest of this month!

Sooner or later I was bound to make some list. Does this mean I have to pay dues? Will they take an IOU, or do they just deduct it from the Social Security check?

I am trying to be good today….

you and good do not mix

There’s an article in todays NH Union Leader that says the Carol Shea-Porter has never voted against a single earmark and Hodes isn’t much better. Some commenter on the site remarked that they probably didn’t read the bill any way and just did what Nancy told them to do. A profound truth if you ask me since both of them have admitted they don’t read the bills.

Thanks, nice to know you care! Now tell me how you really feel..
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 12:35 PM
Is this a subtle hint it’s not Wranglers but, instead, a tutu?
Yoop on August 17, 2009 at 12:35 PM
I am not exactly the ballerina type. I am 5′ 1″.
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 12:36 PM
Goodly is as goodly does. But nobody’s perfect…
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 12:38 PM
you got it, girl
blatantblue on August 17, 2009 at 12:39 PM
Milk cartons?
How about wanted posters? ;)

While this exercise may be fun for us Coservatives,of course that is all it is.
Conservatives around the counttry lament the fact that their representatives are dodging them,the Liberals don’t care .The fact is Liberals can’t be bothered looking at what their reps. are doing as long as they have a big D after their names.
Living in a predominantly Democrat area,I see among
Democrats a situation similar to the Hebrews at the time of the Judges.Having been told by their God that they need no King,the people demanded one.This is what the Democraps sound like when they talk about the President.I.e.Bush was so powerful that he could cause a hurricane to hit New Orleans,etc. and Obama is so powerful that he will bring universal peace,and affect the level of the oceans etc.Because of their political ignorance,the liberal Dems actually think that the POTUS has (or should have)absolute power.So,they don’t care that they can’t find their representatives,because,after all,the President is omnipotent.

ZING!
scalleywag on August 17, 2009 at 12:45 PM
I knew someone would run with this. How long before the sensitive liberals cry out about the use of milk cartons – something that has been parodied many times before?

Ed,
Way to go!
Each night, I go home, crack a couple of tubes (cf. Monty Python), sit down and watch Fox and related news. I absolutely freaking marvel at how many HA and RW blogosphere posts and items make it to Hannity, Van Sustern, and even the terminally self-referential O’Reilly as a staple of their reportage.
Congratulations! You, AP, The Boss, and all of the others here on HA as well as the other RW bloggers have taken back the battlefield ceded to the leftist netroots prior to the election. Like MacArthur, you have returned and returned with a vengeance. The charge of a righteously indignant citizenry is being lead by a crack cadre of tireless troops like yourselves and the insidious attempt by the commies and socialistas to subsume what they thought would be a mind-numbed, brain-dead American (Idol) Public is failing on all fronts.

The hottest women are 4′ 9″ through 5′ 1″. Just sayin.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 12:51 PM
How about starting a mail-in to all those missing in action, make a homemade “missing” cardboard with the reps name on it and flood their offices with them. If anyone can improve on this idea and make it go viral please have at it so we can let these cowardly rats know what they are facing come election time.
nwsseeker on August 17, 2009 at 12:53 PM
5.1345′ is best
blatantblue on August 17, 2009 at 12:54 PM
Don’t let that stop you if you have an interest!
AsianGirlInTights on August 17, 2009 at 12:55 PM
Hmmm…
DarkCurrent on August 17, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Congrats, Ed! More well-deserved kudos.
I was thinking maybe Doocey would show Barney Frank’s milk carton, but maybe it was censored.
petefrt on August 17, 2009 at 1:00 PM
I went out for Thai food for dinner last night. The Thai waitress (about 40-ish) had to be about 4′ 11″. She was drop-dead gorgeous.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 1:03 PM
As a proud Californian, I would suggest that she hasn’t earned that title yet – she working her way up to it.
But she’s close. So very, very, close.

reshas1 on August 17, 2009 at 1:11 PM
Was she wearing tights? /s
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 1:15 PM
+1
journeyintothewhirlwind on August 17, 2009 at 1:20 PM
Jeans. I guess she isn’t the woman who posts here. ;)
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 1:22 PM
Drop-dead gorgeous 40-ish Thai woman in jeans? This could be borderline. I think you need a second opinion. Where is this place exactly?
DarkCurrent on August 17, 2009 at 1:31 PM
You’re in Shanghai, right? You can’t get there from there.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 1:38 PM
So, I guess you didn’t get to find whether she was wearing the tights underneath? ;-)
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 1:43 PM
Or I could go straight to Thailand…
DarkCurrent on August 17, 2009 at 1:44 PM
The only one not missing is Big Brother Barack. He was just on the telescreen speaking in front of the VFW or some other Vet organization…Big Brother Barry is on my screen Monday thru Friday…He takes weekends off to decide if we’re at war with Eastasia or Eurasia…………..
adamsmith on August 17, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Wow, this post got out of hand after I left for lunch.
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 1:55 PM
You must be a little twisted. Either that or you are 5’5″.
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 1:57 PM
5′ 9″, shrunk down to 5′ 8.5″ last time I checked (from herniated disks, I think). Most of the women I have dated were my height or taller. So it’s not a big deal, but I just think short is sexy.
In other words, I guess I’m twisted.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 2:01 PM
Only in my dreams.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 2:03 PM
See what happens when you’re gone, T-Mom!
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 2:13 PM
I know. I hope I didn’t hurt Daggett’s feelings.
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 2:15 PM
I actually thought you were a girl until this disturbing revelation. So much for dreams…
TXMomof3, you’re a girl, right?
DarkCurrent on August 17, 2009 at 2:20 PM
I doubt it, the Dagster in dreamland right now. ;-)
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 2:22 PM
I doubt it, the Dagster’s in dreamland right now. ;-)
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 2:24 PM
That would probably be a pretty good assumption.
TXMomof3 on August 17, 2009 at 2:27 PM
Of course not. You’re 5′ 1″, and being a Dadof2, you automatically have my admiration.
Daggett on August 17, 2009 at 2:32 PM
Watch out Dags. The smaller the package, the harder the punch.
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Wow! Ed, you’re famous! Good work! Congrats. Must have increased the hits here 2 fold.
Christian Conservative on August 17, 2009 at 2:59 PM
Alternate locations to post mug shots of the missing Congress critters would be cartons of pourable waffle mix or bags of candy corn (“America’s Chickens are Fleeing from Their Roast”)
ya2daup on August 17, 2009 at 3:03 PM
Gots to jet. Feedin’ time and the hands have been overfeeding the cattle or, worse, stealin’ the feed. Gotta watch ‘em… kinda like congress, the more I think about it.
Y’all have fun out there.
TXUS on August 17, 2009 at 3:05 PM
How about the GOP on a milk carton?
All they have to do is take the Whole Foods CEO’s plan and make minor mods. to it and you’ve got a good free market plan.
And then sell it as the “No tyranny plan”.
Sapwolf on August 17, 2009 at 3:48 PM
You think these missing dems will turn up in Ardmore, Oklahoma? That’s where we found ours the last time they ran away from their constituents in Texas.
DanMan on August 17, 2009 at 3:56 PM
Yeah, I think the “got milk?” look would be over the top!
Poljax on August 17, 2009 at 4:28 PM
He isn’t able to stay off the TV long enough for anyone to believe he is missing.
