    Jim Clyburn is so #1 on Clinton’s shitlist. With a bullet, even.

  4. Maybe he could form a comedy team with McCain of the ‘odd couple’ sort.

  5. graceless says at 10:57 am, June 11th, 2008

    queeraselvis v 2.0: That’s okay, I’m sure the Clintons are on Clyburn’s shit list too.

    Hi Wonkette! Unrelated: MSNBC just flashed what they’re calling “Obama’s VP short list” on the screen, sixteen names. I haven’t been able to find it anywhere online and don’t remember who all was on the list. It was the predictable failed pres candidates, Webb, Sebelius and a few others. Anyway, thought you might be interested if you were able to find the list.

    To which Reid replied:
    “That’ll do pig, that’ll do.”

    Then reid covered his mouth with his fingertips and giggled like a Japanese schoolgirl.

    ReelectTilden: I’m sure his Jewish wife would disagree.

  11. thefrontpage says at 11:14 am, June 11th, 2008

    When is Dean retiring? Tomorrow?

  12. Jewdishoowary Square says at 11:20 am, June 11th, 2008

    floraway: Howard Dean’s wife is Jewish? Sounds like somebody’s got a touch of Bagel Fever.

    Just because it was funny, doesn’t mean it was wrong…

  16. Serolf Divad says at 11:40 am, June 11th, 2008

    You know what I’d like to see at the first McCain/Obama debate/town-hall meeting? I’d like to see Obama and his entire campaign staff do a Maori war dance before the debate gets going.

  17. graceless says at 11:41 am, June 11th, 2008

    ReelectTilden: Some people, regardless of religion, too often talk too much. It happens. When it happens, other people, regardless of religion, notice. Neither point in and of itself makes either party a bad person… In future, before you call somebody a name, think, “is this funny?” And if the answer is ‘yes’ feel free to use all caps.

  18. HollowBrain says at 11:45 am, June 11th, 2008

    Serolf Divad:

    Wouldn’t it be a Luo war dance? I read somewhere that he’s the son of a Luo tribesman.

    Too bad I can’t remember where.

  19. guerilla-nation says at 11:55 am, June 11th, 2008

    not nearly as funny as jon corzine’s comment a few years back:

    “Sharing a media market with Chuck Schumer is like sharing a banana with a monkey…. Take a little bite out of it and he will throw his own feces at you.”

    heeeeeyyyyyoooooohhhhh

  20. weirdiowasculpture says at 12:19 pm, June 11th, 2008

    HollowBrain: Nah. I want to see Obama and staff do that war dance from Zulu. McCain would have to take a five-minute break to change his Depends.

    Luo, luo who-o-o
    I say, we gotta go now
    ay, ay, ay, ay, I say
    luo, luo who-o-o
    I say, we gotta go now

    …but sort of with regard to the article, non/snarky comment alert…
    I recently read “The Secret,” one of these nonsense self-help books which tells you how you can make millions of dollars by wanting it really, really bad, so I’m not recommending the book, but there was one point that made me sit up and take notice and it applies here. It was a baseball analogy and it said if you’re standing in the outfield and you’re afraid you won’t catch the ball, you’ll start to imagine all kinds of scenarios where you’ll drop the ball and jinx yourself, but if you imagine catching the ball then you’ll visualize that and actually increase your real world chances of catching the ball.
    So, the strategy of building up Obama rather than just tearing down McCain makes sense.

    Somehow, when I thought of it, that wasn’t a non-sequitur.

  23. ReelectTilden says at 12:44 pm, June 11th, 2008

    graceless: floraway: It was supposed to be sarcastic.

  24. NebraskashireGentry says at 6:30 pm, June 11th, 2008

    still not as funny as his Presidential campaign…that was (well, should have been) a show-stopper.

  25. While we’re waiting, we can go to New Hampshire, Harry, we can go to South Carolina and Oklahoma and Arizona and North Dakota and New Mexico, and then California and Texas and New York … And while we’re waiting, South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan, and then make our way back to Washington, D.C., to talk back to the White House! BEEEEEYAAAAAAWWWW!!!
