News flash: Lanny Davis is still out of his mind. The Clinton shill who grumped off to Fox News after everybody was so mean to him on CNN during the primaries has gone off his meds again, and the proof is in a delightful editorial he wrote for the Wall Street Journal explaining why Hillary Clinton is the best, nay, the ONLY option for vice president if Barack Obama wants to be elected King of America.
- Argument 1: Clinton will not energize the Republican base, and in fact would bring Republicans over to vote for the Democratic ticket.
- Argument 2: Clinton, by virtue of her femaleness, will reinforce Obama’s message of new politics and change.
- Bill Clinton will behave himself and not be a pain in the ass at all.
In other news, 2 plus 2 now equals 6, that email really did come from a desperately wealthy gentleman in Nigeria, and Lanny Davis is not a douchesack. Proof: he is now a columnist in the Washington Times.
Why Obama Should Pick Hillary [Wall Street Journal]
OK, I’ve finally figured it out. Lanny Davis is the Democratic Bill Kristol doppleganger. Any time he says something, do the opposite, and things will turn out great.
If there is a common theme I hear from my centrist minded friends it is that if Obama chooses Hillary, they are voting for McCain. If he thinks that the hatred for Hillary on the right is anything less than life-alteringly viceral he is a moron. I do not claim to understand it, but it is a common affliction.
Clinton will not energize the pubs? Okay.
Bill will behave himself and not fuck several ducks? Okay.
I can haz my special Kitty now? K
Argument #3: Should President Obama accidently suffocate his black ass by clamping a pillow over his face, Hillary will be ready on day one.
I totally respect any independent who’s concerned that the Democrats succeed that they want to promote Hillary Clinton as Barack Obama’s running mate.
By the way, I’m totally an independent and I’m really concerned that the Republicans succeed, which is why I think Larry Craig should be John McCain’s running mate.
I would put more faith in Michael Jackson as Veep right now. Maybe Helmut Penke, or George Orwell. Hillary is about as dead as one of these people, as much of a Nazi as one other of these folks, and loves her children like the former.
Give it fucking uuuuuuuuuup, already. Geebus.
WadISay: Perfect.
Argument #4: Can you stupid fucks think of any other way to keep the $109 million Clinton gravy train rolling? Can you? Huh? That’s what I thought.
Clinton not energize the Republican Base? They’ve been jerking off to her pic since Day One, hoping that she would be the next Demrat candidate.
No one willing to leave their house under the name Lanny (sans NHL great and mustache hero Lanny McDonald) has a reasonable opinion on anything.
Why doesnt he just go down on Hillary and get it over with already?
Obama should select Angelina Jolie. She’s a woman. She’s a celeb. And that would shut up her crazy ass dad, Jon Voigt.
Why is anyone even bothering to pretend that this is still an option? Can we just go back to the nutty fantasies about how the convention is somehow going to wind up nominating Hillary (and then maybe she can make Obama her VP/lantern jockey).
magic titty:
because he doesn’t want to be the only man in the line.
Why would anybody listen to a guy named Lanny? For the same idiot reasons others listen to a guy named Grover?? Meh.
magic titty:
Bad timing on my part….
Lanny didn’t talk to these folks

WadISay: greatgooglymoogly: I love you two.
#5: It’s a well-known fact that Bush doesn’t have a “magic wand”. The big secret is that the Clintons do and Clinton as VP, she will wave that wand and *poof!* cheaper oil and *poof!* back to surplus again. Just don’t ask her to run in to grab some gas station coffee. You’re totally fresh outta luck there.
You mean “elected King of the World”
Doglessliberal: OOOOPS!
Lanny Davis has planted a nuclear stink bomb somewhere in Los Angeles. Only by selecting Hillary Clinton as the vice president dowager will he tell us where it is. Unfortunately, his face has now been surgically implanted into the space where John McCain’s cheek used to be. Will Barack Obama be able to save the day before the bomb goes off? I smell a screenplay!
tsunami: the only straight man. all gay men would get on their knees for that thing, pronto.
This freak doesn’t know how not to lie. From Wikipedia:
In 1976, Davis ran for Congress as a Democrat in Maryland’s 8th congressional district. After winning the Democratic nomination, he was in a close contest with Republican Newton Steers before losing after a major scandal broke out over Davis mischaracterizing his own academic record at Yale Law School.
…other VP candidates that share Hillary Clinton’s sense of humility and service to the public:
-Lex Luthor
-Attila the Hun
-Napoleon
-Brain(from “Pinky and the Brain”)
Quacker: not at all. you’re of reasonable mind.
here’s to hoping he cries on teevee. again.
magic titty:
thanks for that image.
I can’t listen to Lanny Davis interviews unless he’s constantly being drowned out by the sound of metal folding chairs.
Well, let’s consider the man’s arguments for a second here before we just tell him to fuck off:
Argument 1: No, if republicans hate anyone worse than Barry, it’s Hillary.
Argument 2: Hillary didn’t win that argument in the primaries.
Argument 3: Bill can’t behave himself…ever. He was a good president, but he has the morals of a snake.
So, Lanny, fuck off.
Is there like a college for douchesacks?
She must have some serious dirt on him.
The best thing about Barry picking someone other than Hillz for #2? Lanny Davis can finally go away. (I know, wishful thinking…)
WadISay: your frequent, comfortable, and timely use of the term “black ass” leads me to draw certain conclusions about you, *my brother*.
Carrie_Okie: I think that this tidbit from Wikipedia explains so much:
“As an undergraduate at Yale, he was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. According to an item in U.S. News & World Report, as part of his initiation into the fraternity, Davis underwent hazing by, among others, the future U.S. president George W. Bush.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanny_Davis
masterdebater: Re:”Argument 1: No, if republicans hate anyone worse than Barry, it’s Hillary.”
Let’s see, they do hate one person worse. Who was that? HMMM, begins with “K”….
Glenn Beck, CNN: Don’t get me wrong, I want hope and change just as much as the next guy, but I think Barack and I are hoping for different kinds of change. To me, his vision for America appears to be somewhere between Sen. Hillary Clinton and Karl Marx.
Carrie_Okie: This one: http://www.liberty.edu/
But can’t beat floraway: ’s research on Lanny’s W hazing (is just being near W not torture enuf?)
Carrie_Okie: Re: Douchesack College, and here’s why (150 of its graduates hired by the Bush administration, founded by Falwell etc):

Did Lanny Davis bite somebody?
Argument 4: Looks delicious in Batman pantsuit!
[re=48781floraway:]Lanny won’t have a job unless Hilz gets one, obs. Delicious[/re]: Bill Clinton hired Lanny to lie him out of the Lewinsky thing. How’d that work out?
The Real JR Revisted: I think that depends on your definition of the words, “magic wand”
I thought Lanny Davis was a porn star… who is this old white guy with the spectacles? Do those convert into a sex toy or something?
floraway: Wow, hazing must have been really bad. I can’t think of any other reasons someone would hate bush so much to support hillz
The best reason I can think of for making Hillary VP is what Thomas Marshall once said: “Once there were two brothers. One went away to sea; the other was elected vice president. And nothing was heard of either of them again.”
The Real JR Revisted: She definitely has a magic wand. Maybe even a jelly g spotter attachment.
This is your brain after you leave Gay rehab too early apparently.
Maybe the Hiltards will finally get it when the intro music for HIlz convention speech is Blondie’s “Just go away. And stay away”.
what on earth is lanny going to talk about day in and day out once the election is over and barry somehow miraculously wins without putting hillz on the ticket?
Maybe Hillz put out a hit on him and the only way to call it off would be to constantly shill dor her to be VP. Happened to me.
