BREAKING NEWS LITTLE SIREN GIF: Barack has got the Power, and the Delegates …. Well, what have we learned, tonight, other than that your editor has a “drinking problem” due to having some drillings/fillings done on his own teeth an hour ago? We’ve learned that Maverick RINO McCain wants to hate fuck the war until it finally loves him, and he went to a New Orleans suburb to explain why it’s good when there’s no “big government” to help you with change you can believe in. Anyway, let’s liveblog the nonsense as we get some results from South Dakota, the “Bukkake State.”
9:01 PM — Wow, Chris Matthews just told us about the magical Harry Potter-style newspapers of Kenya, where the Junior Wizards are waking up and reading the Kenyan newspapers RIGHT NOW with the breaking news we’ve just heard on live teevee about Obama getting the delegates to claim the nomination!
9:02 PM — But who did Keith Olbermann eat today? Our guess: George Stephanopoulos.
9:03 PM — It’s sleepier at CNN. Maybe because David Gergen is sleepy.
9:05 PM — Hey people, people with the Videos Skillz: Make a 5-minute loop of McCain’s creepy Uncle Pedobear Porky Pig chuckle and new lame catch phrase, “Heh heh th-at’s not ch-ch-ange we can be-lieve in.” We will post it here, probably a dozen times, and give you a link and a PROMISE that we’ll give you one of the FIRST new Wonkette T-shirts.
9:07 PM — Suzanne takes you down, to the desk in the newsroom, she is wearing an orange blazer from Atlanta Ann Taylor, and you know that she’s half crazy and that’s why you want to hear her, and she brings you campaign live feeds from all the way in Iowa ….
9:09 PM — Tom Brokaw is crying, and that is making our Sara K. cry.
9:10 PM — And that is making our Jim talk about “the list of famous coloreds.”s
9:10 PM — Hey McCain is still talking, but only on Fox News!
9:10 PM — Speaking of, this is our liveblogging of McCain’s whiny old man attempt at a speech. Oh man, he is not good at this stuff. So he’ll probably win — after all, he’s got both white skin AND white hair … and maybe even an old vagina somewhere, in the folds of his neck.
9:14 PM — And now, the National Review can heal, and start hating McCain again: “Not to offend those who might be offended, but this speech is a mash and tough to digest. You have to get through the self-congratulatory praise of independence and commander-in-chief pose from the Senate, then you have to try to follow the inconsistency of some of his big-government ideas vs. his anti-big-government rhetoric, and his inconsistency even on his supposed strength — the surge in Iraq vs. closing GITMO and conferring additional rights on the detainees. I am also put off by some of the anti-Bush stuff. Distancing himself from Bush is one thing, but he almost exclusively (as best I can tell) criticizes him, giving Bush little credit (tax cuts, Supreme Court appointments and yes, the surge, which Bush ordered not McCain).”
9:16 PM — BREAKING NEWS FROM ANDREA MITCHELL IN NEW YORK: Hillary wants to meet privately with Obama, immediately, in private, so she can kill him talk to him about what to do, and if he’ll give her MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF YOUR MONEY, but she doesn’t want to concede, “or embrace him.”
9:18 PM — Oooo, so Hillary wants the veep offer, AND she wants to be veep, just in case, you know, he gets killed next June.
9:19 PM — Soon, we’ll drop in on the Blog Hillary site and give you some “gems.”
9:22 PM — BREAKING NEWS AGAIN, Hillary won South Dakota by … 1,700 votes. So far, with 19% reporting.
9:28 PM — Here comes Hillary, and there is Terry to introduce her, and nobody wants to hear him on The News, and that means our Jim will soon have a new liveblogging!
9:33 PM — Hey Hillary just said South Dakota has the “last word” in this race. What about Montana? COUNT ALL THE 57 STATES.
9:34 PM — Here’s Jim and his favorite lady, Hillary.
How does dental work prove a drinking problem?
No, seriously. I have an appointment Thursday and I need to know.
YAAAYY!! MSNBC finally declared for Barry!
Oh, fuck. Nevermind. I can’t read.
Speaking of drinking problems.
Matthews: This will be huge in Bangladesh!
Olbermann: Hundred and forty-five years ago, when … happened. (Rhymes with bravery.)
For once in my almost adult life, I’m proud of my country. I feel like crying.
BTW, FOX is still carrying McCain’s speech. If that doesn’t say it all.
Time to open the champers…
Time to break out the Andre. Yes, that’s right.
Cheers Barry Bukkake O’Bama!
You guys better snark this thread up quick or I might actually shed some tears. Seriously.
Tom Brokaw and Desmond Tutu have both landed on the moon, apparently, with Martin Luther King Jr. in the orbiter.
Mine is a brut rose’ Wolfberger.NotUrEvryDayWEzl:
AudicityofHope: You had to say it. I had to look. I cannot stop cringing. I think I hate you now.
OMFG,Brokaw is making me cry!
Okay, this delay is not good on a night like tonight. Oh well, Here’s to the Obmamanie!
All right, everyone. I’m still a little weepy, but I’m getting out my AmEx:
http://www.barackobama.com
Give $25, my darlings. Let’s get this shit DONE!
So can we declare racism dead now, forever? Because if we can, I am so dropping my black friends that I only have to prove to others that I am not racist.
He’s got a little curly q, just like Squiggy!
This is beautiful.
loquaciousmusic: Screw that, VOLUNTEER - especially in November. A million people on the street… it’s doable.
El Bombastico: I’m there, man. I’m there. I live in a town with two colleges. All the co-eds and I will be OUT ON THE TOWN FOR BARRY!
AudicityofHope:
Brit Hume: Is this John McCain at his oratorical best?
Carl Cameron: [Yes]. He worked very hard at this.
MY GOD. Really?
“McCain fancies himself a reformer.” Emphasis on the fancy.
I love how no one’s talking about SD.
Harold Ford is harshing my mellow. Uh - did you actually watch McCain’s speech? I guess he’s not infatuated with Hopey, so maybe he sees more clearly than I do?
Is Harold Ford on crack? McCain’s speech was “powerful?!?”
I think the Republicans need to do a mulligan on this primary process, because they ended up with the creepiest man on earth as their nominee.
What a nice night. I think I am going to give the DNC some money…just ’cause I’m feeling charitable.
The bastards will undoubtedly piss me off tomorrow…
It’s time to bury this old man…lets do this thing
Any of you young motherfuckers, I’ve been pissed off since Willie Horton and the ‘88 election. My first presidential election.
Fuck you for making me hope again!
Cocksuckers!
But seriously.
Thanks, you colorblind pinheads.
Harold Ford just called Walnuts’ speech powerful! WTF? Was he smoking something at the Playboy party today?
crookedE: It was if you read it, and the voice in your head sounded like Obama.
Oh good, Tom Brokaw talked about assassination, maybe he’s secretly pulling for Hillary.
El Bombastico: No kidding. Take the frickin’ streets!
Am I the only one braving Fox News? Carl Cameron: McCain’s delivery style is “not as glitzy” as Obama’s. how’s that for hard-hitting political coverage.
El Bombastico: Yep. The way to do it: bodies on the ground.
I’m having Korbel, because I’m a hardworking white woman who voted for Obama.
Fuck demographics. Hooray Obama!
My boyfriend is not ready to celebrate until he actually sees Clinton concede. I thought I was a cynic– sheesh!
Godless Liberal *: The right side of my mouth is so numb, I can barely take a hit off this wine glass!
OMG so weepy and overjoyed…but still drinking white wine as a shoutout to my race…
I honestly did not think even Democrats would be cool enough to vote for a guy named Barack Obama with a Kenyan dad. But we so were! (Sorry I’m gonna be sappy up till the Hill speech. Deal, kiddos.)
Has anyone seen my favorite girl with the hair like a boy, Rachel Maddow?
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/
How perfect will places like this be tonight?
Karl Rove looks more and more like Palpatine every time he appears on teh tv
And he ridicules McCain for thinking Louisiana would ever do anything but vote the government that told them to fuck off
I have offered up my vast estate to house an esteemed Obama Fellow for the summer. Ah, Wolf, running on about who’s going to win south dakota. A weasly little poop to the end. I wish him nothing but ill luck, that asslicking little fuck.
jagorev: Sorry, all the mulligans were used up by HRC. No more mulligans, because she bogarted all of them.
I think “Big Government” is the bogeyman talking point for Republicans this election. Grover has been trotting it out and so has McCain.
Bonus effect: It’s east to dog whistle libertarian arguments about racial resentment (welfare, affirmative action, etc.)
crookedE: Harold Ford is a douche. And to think, I was gonna call him.
Jeebus, there’s now a Rove paradigm? Run peeps!
Drink up folks. Hillary is gonna make you pissed all over again.
Ha! Harold Ford says John McCain needs to “resurrect” his 2000 self. How bout you resurrect your deceased ass right now!
Harold Ford, McCain cannot resurrect his 2000 self because of his 2001-2008 self.
Please ask Ford to chill. He’s starting to foam at the mouth.
crookedE: powerful sedative
That McCain speech was pretty sharp on paper, but the delivery killed it. McCain is the anti-Obama.
And now here comes Hill to crush all your hopes, remind you that superdelegates can change their mind at any time, and she’s taking this all the way to Denver.
Double his Secret Security detail. It just got real.
Ford on nbc is a big Imus ass licker. Imus licks
McKrazy’s bunghole, ergo
ah fuck it.
Hillary does not wish to embrace Barack? Fuck that, I want to embrace him, and never let go.
Chris Matthews is sick of Andrea Mitchell and her reporting skills
For the first time in my adult life, I can listen to country & western music without a trace of irony.
I’m proud to be an American, cuz at least we beat Hillaryyyyyyy
This may be the last time I get to sit in awe of what a douche HRC can be. *sniff* Wicked Witch of the West, I think I’ll miss you most of all…
Andrea clearly has no air in that hellhole
she makes no sense. again.
Democrats, I see your young black man and raise you another. Harold Ford for McCain’s VP!
Our inadequate black male is all grown up **sniff**.
I’m cringing again! HRC wants a private meeting she’s so bossy! Would somebody please tell her that she didn’t win?
Jesus, Andrea Mitchell is kind of cranky tonight, huh?
Harvey Birdman: The last time Americans were concerned about “big government” was, like, 1994. Gawd, that speech was so out of touch with anything that Americans are actually concerned about.
Smoke Filled Roommate: I agree. Sounds reasonable. I don’t hear any fat lady singing yet. Bad stuff can still happen.
Hey, Creepy McCain…if Obamaworld is the Matrix, I *choose* the Matrix!
O man if Jeff Toobin were here I would so blow him!
graceless*: Yeah, but would you want to be that someone?
Delicious: Of course she will. This is why Bill fucks other women when he can. One reason anyway.
OMG THE CNN TALKING HEADS ARE HAVING AN ANAL FUCK FEST ON JOHN MCCAIN’S PITIFUL SPEECH.
They are being just brutal about McCain at The Corner.
I mean, seriously, I thought John Kerry was bad, but McCain is like everything that’s wrong with Kerry multiplied by ten.
loquaciousmusic: Consider that she’s been surrounded by cranky post-menopausal women for the last year. She just thinks that’s how you act now.
Don’t offer Obama, just don’t.
VP? Hoopy should tell Hills hey, it’s my way or the Hershey Highway.
wonk_the_heck: haha! powerful vomit-inducement.
Yay, Rachel. She said clinch. hot
Oh, Rachel Maddow…the one that got away…sigh
Here comes Hill’s gigantic historic speech. According to CNN’s c**k teasers.
OMG HILLARY WINS….WHAT, EXACTLY?
Oh god, cue Pat Buchanan to tell us how horrible it is for Barack that he couldn’t win SD…
ForTheTurnstiles: Bubba’s impotent, mostly. Since his heart thing, the medicines took that out of him.
HAHAHA, Pat Buchanan just said that the SD victory gives Hillary a stronger claim to the nomination.
PB says she can’t make it hard. Bill knows.
I DEMAND A RECOUNT, you fascists.
If you’re not crying enough yet, this’ll push you over the edge:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=N2v6SOY1aEc
I know it’s not South Dakota, but still…
aight, I’m switching from wine to hard liquor and sleeping pills. Hillary was just projected to win South Dakota. wake me in 2012!
All this distracting garbage for SO much time. This process had rules they all agreed on. EVERYTHING else is distraction.
PBR: “Obama’s acting like he’s entitled to this presidency…”‘
PBR stands for Pat Buchanan, Racist. Never forget.
ronaldpagan: Me, yessire. Hey that’s an idea, I’m going to her website, and send an email! Thanks, what a good idea! I’ll be right back.
Someone needs to tell McCain that a translucent person should not stand in front of a bright green background.
NotUrEvryDayWEzl:
Bukake?
Eek, Madame de Sade to speak. Up the sedatives please.
OMG HILLARY’S SPEECH WILL BE THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!!! I AM TURNING OFF MY PHONE JUST IN CASE ANYONE INTERRUPTS A SINGLE SECOND OF HER TEARS FOR ME!!!
(Sorry, my caps lock key has Hillary Clinton Forum Disease.)
Brit Hume is seething.
It must suck for Hillary to get the momentum this late in the game, maybe she should have started drinking heavily earlier in the campaign
“You’re gonna see Democrats coming together like never before…”
Obviously, he doesn’t read Jezebel.
graceless*: I know. He really needs to not offer. That is the last of Hillary’s devious tricks.
RonaldReagansHair: He’s ruined the color for me. I’m not sure I can sleep in my sheets now.
graceless*: That explains the post-op anger issue.
I keep refreshing the cache, but ain’t nothing happening!
Ted Stevens, where are you?
Hey look, Hillary’s fluffer is at the podium. I want to hear him speak.
Ahhhggggg Terry McAuliffe and his yellow tie.
Hilz speaking at Baruch is a pandering
at ground zero for zionistas.
bitchincamaro: I merely quote our great leader we can believe in, Ken Layne.
Ah, there they are….The Army of Bitters…
Terry McAullife just took a few hits off his crack pipe and ran onto the stage to get the Hillz folks hyped up! Do you think he every talks at a normal decibel level?
What is that woman behind Terry holding? A pink bear?
(I’m onto glass of wine #3, so please excuse the typos that I’m sure will begin soon.)
Terry McAuliffe is starting to look like a thinner version of the baddie from Darkman. Coincidence?
Terry seems to have overcome th e hangover
quickly enuff.
That guy(?) in the brown shirt immediately to the right of the podium - does (s)he follow Hillary around and always sit behind her at televised speeches?
McAuliffe is so loud I can’t hear Matthews. Good God.
looks like hillary is the president of terry mcauliffe’s wardobe
RonaldReagansHair: O where is Terry? I wanna see him cry. Could he please cry?
So Terry the bull rider is warming up the crowd, she’ll need it…
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m actually listening to this song now, and enjoying it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yq0tMYPDJQ
I’ve tuned out the cable news blather. Gotta appreciate this moment.
This is weird. They’re all just standing there. That’s just strange.
This is an actual comment from BlogHillary, submitted by “rbalsam” at 5:57:18pm:
“The pieces of glass – shattered
Scattered across the floor
Women rise up the ladder
Female bondage – no more
A goddess leads the way
Shining in the light
Go, Hillary, Go
Don’t give up the fight”
I can feel my ovaries shriveling like plums in direct sunlight.
Bill’s looking redder than usual.
OMG here she is. Look at the pain behind those smiles.
Does anybody notice that gay guy in the crowd behind the podium? It’s the exact same guy who was behind Hillary at the Kentucky rally.
Poor Montana and South Dakota. The only two states whose primaries didn’t matter
Yuck. Get ready for the cred committee.. aaarrrrgh!
Will there be Bubba tears?
REFRESH MOTHERFUCKER REFRESH!
Brit Hume just called Terry McAuliffe “the best”, and then with immediately realized self-disgust asked the producer to “remove McAuliffe’s speech so we can talk about something else, please, thanks”. Brit, that was revealing on so, SO many levels.
OMG Bill just totally touched Chelsea’s ass! EWW
Did MCAuliffe just announce Hillz as ‘the Next Prez of the Vnited States’?
All I’m sayin is that they better cut her off at the knees when Obama goes to speak.
Here she cums!
They put her in a small space so it would look like a lot of people there. srsly, remember to count these people against McDick and O…
Chelsea is looking mighty fine tonight.
I’m just glad she didn’t leave her clapping behind.
And….Hillz enters to the ultimate psycho ex-girlfriend theme song: “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
Point and clap, point and clap, point and clap.
The talking heads don’t know why the back area is camera free. It’s because the whole family is having a some potluck Paultard Soup to get ready for this… LET’S GO!
Another Clinton rally, another search for someone on screen I’d have sex with. Hello, Chelsea. I won’t let the fact that support Arsenal keep me from calling your name out.
Did Chealz borrow mommy’s jacket?
How did they get so many bitters in the middle of Manhattan? Must have been bussed in from Staten Island or Jersey.
I’m clinching my personal cyanide cap right now.
James Carville on CNN is still a baffling speaker. I’m lost.
Yes, Chris M. an “army” an Army of Bitters…
jagorev: OK, I thought it was just me. Did West Virginia make that much of an impact?
She didn’t win.
Kristol basically just said McCain’s speech sucked.
But here’s Hillz! She starts with a shout-out to Obama. Hey, they’re friends!
Wow, she slammed on the brakes and pulled a hard U-turn in re: Obama.
Is the guy in the grey shirt behind Hillary masturbating? Well whatever, way to turn that frown upside down.
Male Hillary supporters at rallies always look so damn confused.
Lady in bottom right is charter member of Army of Bitters
I want to give a hateful thumping to that cute little readhead behind her.
haha, elite Brit just spoke some Truth: “there’s Hillary now. we know that, whatever she’s going to be, she ain’t gonna be the nominee of the Democratic party.” I hope his cats are locked safely indoors tonight.
Wow! She acknowledged and congratulated Obama? Are pigs flying outside?
Hey babies, new liveblog for Hilz’ curious speech, here http://wonkette.com/400170/liveblogging-hillarys-big-city-speech-where-she-will-not-quit
Godless Liberal *:
very important she be there as she’s the only
one not in pants
fem: Absolutely
Boys, you can be anything you want to be as long as you are castrated.
Thank you to all the women in their nineties…because nobody else voted for me.
The Baruch College Athletic and Recreation Center? What was the local Elks Club hall full?
Srsly, there are not many people there. What? A couple hundred?
I wonder who forced the young black man in the dark suit to stand in the crowd? He don’t look to happy.
“I felt that each of your votes was a prayer…” - Hillz, just now.
IT WAS THE BLACK SLEEP OF KALI MA DR. JONES
Are you guys getting a “COMMENTS ARE CLOSED” message on the Hillary speech thread?
loquaciousmusic: yes
loquaciousmusic: I am…
loquaciousmusic: Yeah. Glad it isn’t just me.
loquaciousmusic: Yes. Some tech problem. Let’s carry on here and wait until it’s fixed, then go back to new blog xx
BuffaloSoldier: He’s completely checked out.
Fine, I guess we’ll comment here if you don’t want us in the Hillary thread.
Hey Wonkette:
Fantastic idea to direct us to a new thread and then close it! That’s DEFINITELY logic transcendence!
I see you…. even though you can’t possibly see me…
loquaciousmusic: Yeah, me too…weirdness…
loquaciousmusic: Yeah, comments are closed for me too. I feel so disenfranchised.
I want to end the war IN AMERICA, Hillary.
I love the post-menopausal women screeching out “Don’t give up, Hillary!” from the floor. Seriously, ladies. Give it the fuck up.
is that thing in the orange and red stripped shirt over Hillz right shoulder a boy or Rachel Maddow’s life partner?
Hey, I just got shut out of the Hillary thread. Comments are closed? What’s up with that?
What is wrong with her? She is literally doing everything BUT uniting the party. I am so goddamn pissed at her right now. (I love her choking back tears though.)
How did I manage to get that dumb poem on both this post and the new one? I fail.
This makes me like Hilz better. Amazing!
She better not eff it up.
She’s committed to uniting the party? Damn, funny way of showing it.
I guess scorching the earth and killing anyone but hillbots is unity, right?
what happened?
This is like watching a middle school principal giving a speech to an overly excited PTA.
Oh yeaaaaaaah… “Respect?!” Respect comes with honesty and directness and consistency. Now THAT is respect.
So is she doing this shit so that she HAS to be Veep, because she literally won’t support Obama otherwise? That wily, wily monster.
I like how she specified that she wants what she has always wanted IN THIS CAMPAIGN, like ending the war, which she didn’t seem to be interested in BEFORE the campaign.
Please come to the point HRC. It’s nearly three a.m. here in Ireland.
Jesus.
(I’m new, and I thought that the thread close message might be Wonkette’s way of passive-aggressively banning me. Yes, I’m predisposed to bitter, and I also hate arugula.)
NO SHE CAN’T
NO SHE CAN’T
NO SHE CAN’T
NO SHE CAN’T
NO SHE CAN’T
I wish she’d talk about the dead lady from SoDak that voted for her before she tipped over. That would be great! Especially since the old bat’s vote didn’t count, since she’s currently dead.
LESS TALKY MORE WALKY, HILLARY.
..damn it did the site just crash?
Wow, I thought it was just me. Maybe somebody spilled their Hopey for prez champers on something.
oops, dig at Barry. 16 months? Suck it Hilz!
Okay, this is basically her job interview for VP. She’s just reeling off her resume now. She wants it so, so badly.
The worst thing anyone has ever done is to teach the seal clap to Chelsea…it’s just wrong.
C’mon, Cookie Monster, give it up for Barry already!
Let’s be led by the power of our values?????? Such hooey coming from her!
Hey Hills, I thought the babies on which you gnaw were the lifeblood of your campaign.
So she’ll be campaigning until everyone has health insurance. Whatever, Hills. Knock yourself out.
Why didn’t anyone say “quit, stop fighting” to her? Apparently that’s all we needed.
Denver! Denver! Denver!
This is an I Quit speech without the I Quit.
She says nothing but “I,” “my” and “me.” It’s sad. And they chant “yes SHE will.” Good gravy.
Speech is about to climax!
At least she’s not screeching.
What was that chant just now? Were they saying “HITLER”?
Ooh back to bike boy
Now they’re chanting for Denver?!? Napalm that place!
loquaciousmusic: Precisely! I need to echo you;
LESS TALKY MORE WALKY!
the gayasian in the back is getting weepy//
Amazing, is Hillary actually telling her insane followers to sell everything they have to retire the debt? That is ballsy!
The race is over. HRC didn’t win.
In honor of the Pantsuit:
Blue Dress - Depeche Mode
Put it on
And don’t say a word
Put it on
The one that I prefer
Put it on
And stand before my eyes
Put it on
Please don’t question why
Can you believe
Something so simple
Something so trivial
Makes me a happy man
Can’t you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
You’ll know what makes the world turn
Put it on
I can feel so much
Put it on
I don’t need to touch
Put it on
Here before my eyes
Put it on
Because you realise
And you believe
Something so worthless
Serves a purpose
It makes me a happy man
Can’t you understand
Say you believe
Just how easy
It is to please me
Because when you learn
You’ll know what makes the world turn
“The soldier who told his wife to spend his money on my campaign”…instead of hookers and stuff.
NO SHE WON’T
NO SHE WON’T
NO SHE WON’T
is that Terry from Reno911 to her right?
“Now the question is, where do we go from here?”
Yes, please. Answer that shit NOW.
“So many people said this race was over 5 months ago in Iowa”
Honestly, who the fuck said that??? The press, who was lapping on your nuts in order to keep the horse race going?
“Pump fake motherfuckers!”
Hil: Don’t be a betch.
Hillary can rot in hell. Human garbage.
3AM decisionmaker can’t read that 0 is equal to 0!
“I won’t quit until later this week.”
“YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!”
Those have got to be some of the stupidest motherfuckers I have ever seen, ever.
It was decided for you HRC, it was the evil math, blame the math.
Who is that freak in the orange and yellow striped shirt? I want to smack him in the face.
Decisions made: 0
Website plugs: 2
“No decision tonight”. That’s her big pay-off. And go to her site.
(Actual meaning: “I’m out of here.”)
“NO I WILL NEVER QUIT!! SO, THERE!” and go to Hillary’s a whore.com, to tell me what you think!
God, do these people really hate the black man that much? Pathetic.
The farmer, the teacher, the waitress and the millionaire that slums when she drinks a little bit of Crown..
Are we a liability?
Please go to the Hillary.com site and share your thoughts…and please notice the donate button
18 million, but how many are Hilltards?
I’m betting she’ll “make up her mind” tomorrow. It’s kind of cruel to her supporters to keep stringing them along, no?
Let’s all go to Hillaryclinton.com, and tell her what we think she should do….
Why did she thank Fiona Apple? Any ideas?
The best interests of the party would be dealing with the realities from February that she couldn’t win. But she kept going because she is not interested in the interests of the party..
Quick look up North by Northwest!
Ooooh…did you hear the woman say “Vote for Obama”? I’m surprised she didn’t get stoned to death!
Icanhaschelseawhenudun?
One thing is clear: Hillary has never, ever talked to a man on the campaign trail. Never.
wheelie: No, actual meaning is “Pay off my debts, groundlings!”
I can believe a kid sold his bike for Hillary, but I can’t believe she took his money.
9/11! 9/11! 9/11!
Holy shit. I believe she did it, but Holy Shit.
No she didn’t!
god, i can’t believe she’s not going to quit.
Nine…Eleven.
Guy in striped shirt must be taken out back and tasered.
She’s thanking everyone and talking like a big loser and congratulating Barry (but not for winning or anything, just congratulating him generally). Just get the fuck out Hillary.
Okay, this is basically the best speech she has ever given. She should have tried some of this positive stuff earlier in the campaign instead of being such a harpy.
9/11 references -double puke. Exploitation of tragedy is a GOP tactic, remember?
Are they playing “Relax”?
..liability as commenters, I meant.
.. and then she died right there. She wouldn’t be covered on my insurance, so we called 911. She died in the ambulance.
Oh, it’s “Simply the Best.” Oops.
Now it’s on to Denver, and then the Naval Observatory Residence!
That’s it. She’s done. Bye bye.
For now. Mwahhahhahh!
gee, no updates right now the next thread up,
server problem this night of nights? NOOOO.
but Hillz ain’t going tonight, she said so.
and she went all 9-11 to justify it.
What a killjoy.
Delicious: How cynical of you! Completely accurate, but, you know, cynical.
OMG! They WERE being kept in a bunker. No cell or blackberry service or TV.
She’s asking for us to “start behaving like Americans again”??? Pot calling the kettle black much?
Hey look, here come the line of dark skinned people to embrace her. This is called “healing”
They didn’t know that Obama won? Those people were in a vacuum, nobody knew that she’d lost except her and her people. That’s a dirty trick, slimly and dishonest.
Tonight’s speech:
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ PLEASE!!!!!
HillaryClinton.com!!!!!
Cicada: I didn’t know that. That’s pretty freak-credible.
Cicada: A ‘Hillbunker’.
6:54… St. Jeebus of Narcissus, is she STILL talking???
A meeting in the basement?! Great metaphor…
Yeah, they didn’t want anyone sitting in the recreation center to know that Obama had won as of 45 mins ago. Lol! Pathetic.
I’m tired. Hope needs to speak SOON!
Bill seems to have completely turned into an oompa loompa at this point.
Time to finish off that bottle of wine, then!
Time to go out for cigs..
No Lanny, no Lanny, no Lanny– STOP!
Notice that their choice in music is by an artist with the name “Tina”. Coincidence?
She’s not done, she’s in it to win it, she’s a fighter. Insane, yes, but the other stuff too! GO Hillary! I have no idea where, but please, go!
Man, just think how pissed those people in that basement are going to be when they find out she knew she’d lost.
Bad luck for Hillary. If she had been running against John McCain, she would have been the inspirational, eloquent choice of young people.
That’s how bad John McCain’s speech was. Is it impossible for the Repubs to pick someone free of speech impediments and verbal tics?
So I’m not the only one who’s having problems with the Hillary speech thread?
This woman has no shame. I’m speechless.
Cicada: I was kidding when I said that earlier. I really was.
Did she bring every single black supporter to New York to stand on stage with her after her speech?
Gov. Paterson supporting Clinton makes me think of the Chappelle Show sketch about the blind, black KKK leader… Not that Paterson is a KKK member.
Smoke Filled Roommate: Fuck you! This was a bad week to quit smoking! Maybe I can fish some cigs out of the back of the junk drawer…
She would like to be vice president? Well, hell, me too! How about it Barry…Icanhasvicepleaz?
“Ohhh life is bigger
It’s bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to,
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I set it up
That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlight, I’m
Losing my election
Trying to keep up with you
And I don’t know if I can do it
Oh no, I’ve said too much
I haven’t said enough . . .”
graceless*: Well, reasonably minded people would’ve woken up today, or any day for the past month, glanced at the papers and assumed tonight’s events to be somewhat inevitable. But then again these were Hillary supporters, so yes that was a desperately cruel tactic.
DAMNIT THE WORDPRESS TURNED OFF MY COMMENTS on the other liveblog. SORRY! you can go back there now, it is phresh. PLEASE?
Don’t do it Barry! Don’t drink the Clinton Kool-aid. You can rock the vote with Chuck Hagel.
edgydrifter: She will never stop talking. She is the Babbler in Chief.
Hopey took Montana. Yay. He’s going to speak soon…
jagorev: Hey he EARNED those impediments and ticks at the hands of the cong! Just like president Bush!
OMG that is hilarious (and typical) about the basement. I was wondering how the crowd maintained any enthusiasm. Here’s a 3-syllable chant for Hills:
Let! It! Go!
loquaciousmusic: I’m a damn chimney…
graceless*: Weeeeelll, that would require them to reach out and embrace reality. I’m not sensing these folks are real friendly with that concept… but, here’s hopin’
Dear Lord, Tim Russert is now speaking in one word sentences. Somebody needs to check his IV.
Yay broken thread is fixed
fem: She will not stop. She cares not a lick for decorum.
could be worse… for example: sparks, nv.
If SoDak is the Bukkake State, shouldn’t there be Perez Hilton-style splooge marks all over those presidents’ faces?
BTW, Bill’s face is red from Gina Gershon’s thigh makeup.
I just want Ken to know that I am available for a good hate-fuck
Obama! I’m actually feeling hopeful for the first time in 8 years. Leonard Cohen said it best:
It’s coming from the sorrow in the street,
the holy places where the races meet;
from the homicidal bitchin’
that goes down in every kitchen
to determine who will serve and who will eat.
From the wells of disappointment
where the women kneel to pray
for the grace of God in the desert here
and the desert far away:
Democracy is coming to the U.S.A.
