I always thought that “suspicious package” would make a great band name.
Honestly, some Clinton supporters will whine, complain, bitch, and make pains in the ass of themselves until election day. If Obama wins, they’ll be foul old backseat drivers who complain at every decision he makes. If McCain wins, they’ll crow then start complaining that Hillary would have won.
Why don’t we just ignore the hell out of them NOW and save everyone some trouble?
Barry needs more than just healed wounds. He needs to reignite the Democratic sex drive. That party needs a hard on for beating rebuplicans.
Republican pundits and McCain campaign officials have given me deep pangs of worry and regret because they pointed out that if Obama didn’t pick an experienced politician like Joe Biden he’d fail by exposing his experience weakness, so Obama failed because he picked an experienced politician like Joe Biden which only highlights Obama’s experience weakness.
Maybe McCain was right that Obama failed by not picking Hillary, whose inclusion on the ticket would divide the country. He instead should have picked Hillary, whose absense from the ticket will divide the country.
Now we know what happened to Ken’s luggage
WonderWomyn: Funny, I always thought “Credible Threat” would make a great band name.
Fuck Hillary and her supporters will be the theme of Barack’s speech. In a perfect world.
Terry: Precisely! I don’t know if Hopey has the numbers to ignore them. Methinks this is another job for Give’em Hell Joe B. His peeps have to get in their face and say “I hear ya and ya gotta get with the program or don’t.”
Word on the street (from a credible badge-bearing source) (not oxymoronic in this case, unusually) is that this is not the first ’suspicious package’ to have been detonated — just the first that was across the street from the D. Post building…
Unfortunately this will be my last word on the street from badge-bearing source as I have requested that he return me to the ranks of blissfully ignorant masses until after the whole thing is over…
magic titty: It’s getting clearer Hopester has to fight to fight a two-front war: against Bitterz & Repubtards.
Larry McAwful: Brilliant sir.
>>Also kicking off the convention: a “suspicious package,” which was detonated without incident
MY WEED! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
2 boxes each of Do-Si-Does, Samoas, and Tagalongs were atomized by our nervous defenders of liberty, Team Homeland Security. Maybe the Girl Scouts will learn how to properly mark their goodwill gestures in the future.
Larry McAwful: Yes. It’s really a shame Amerkin’s aren’t ‘telligent enough to figure out that no matter what Obama says or does, they’d portray it as the wrong move and him as an unseasoned and still dim-witted Negro.
The FBI is the best loser of unfought battles. They should change their motto to ‘Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity: Whatever’.
YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! OH, DAMN YOU! GODDAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
Denver police officers, firefighters and the Denver Bomb Squad was called to Civic Center Plaza, 1560 Broadway, after the item was found at about 3 a.m.
WTF is it with 3:00 am, suddenly?
Serolf Divad: 3AM is a good album name. Let’s look into it.
Let me know when I get to kick Hillary Clinton in the nuts.
She’s simply an incompetent leader. She couldn’t get her campaign staff on the same page. She can’t get her followers to actually follow her to team Obama. She can’t get those hemorrhoids off her ass. &c.
Altitude sickness? I thought that was only for pansies…
Also: I work in Civic Center Plaza. It’s going to be a fun week.
magic titty:
OK, but I get to be Paul Simon.

magic titty: Wasn’t Wednesday Morning, 3AM a Simon & Garfunkel album?
I think it’s interesting that on Saturday, Obama’s text came at 3 AM. It’s like he was ready for that 3 AM call. The sound of the text coming in woke my wife up, but not me, since nothing can wake me up, ever. That text came at 3:19 AM Eastern Time, to be exact, but close enough.
Will John McCain be ready to text at 3 AM next week? I don’t think so. Now who’s ready to lead?
eyegoneblack: I’m stuck in DC and sick with the LACK of altitude. Makes your junk itch with the humidity and all.
“Picking Joe Biden as his running mate did not endear Obama to some Clinton supporters.”
And if Hopey HAD picked the Hillz, the Bitters would STILL be bitching about how condescending it was of him to pick her.
“…“suspicious package,” which was detonated without incident at 3 o’clock this morning.”
I got yer suspicious package right here. Care to blow it up for me?
Another 3 a.m. song reference: Matchbox 20 “Baby, it’s 3 a.m. I must be lonely”. Poor Hillz, Bill staying out late again; no wonder she’s so damn bitter.
“Suspicious package”? That was Anne Coulter’s coffin. Now where will Miss Charm sleep during the day?
BTW: Good job with the holy water, Denver Police.
When is Bill scheduled to crucify himself?
Texan Bulldoggette: Bill’s package is in a red and blue state looking to be in a united state (for America).
It was found at 3 a.m.? But who took the call? Who took the call?!
Clinton Supporters? What the hell is that? I always thought a Clinton Supporter would be the sort of thing Billz (or even Hillz) would wear while playing foozball, but what’s the plural supposed to mean?
Listen, if Clinton supporters honestly think they have more in common with McCain than Obama, I say let them believe that bullshit. We all know her supporters are a block of 40-50 yr old second grade teachers scattered in a geographic region roughly resembling a hamburger. Tell them George Clooney is coming back to ER and they’ll forget about the election in no time.
Servo: Crucify himself? I gotta catch that. I’m just dying to see how he manages to hammer in that last nail.
4tehlulz: dude, that was my weed and now the cops are smokin in, you know they are
No matter what he does, Barry can do no right in the eyes of the “librul” media, Mornin’ Joe! spent three hours this AM bashing him and talking about how he has to “introduce himself to the American People” and that he should hug people, with Pat Blowhard Buchannan trupmeting the ole’ right wing talking points, with NO discussion, just accepting that as the truth…it chaps my ass is all…
Texan Bulldoggette: Elliott Smith was all about 2:45am, because he was thinking fifteen minutes ahead. And awesome.
jerryw: Done.
freakishlystrong: Agreed. That line of discussion ACCEPTS tacitly that BO is “not one of us” which is racist, a strong word, but what else are you going to call it? Where have they been the last 19 months? Framing the discussion this way serves no purpose than to keep a narrative going which services the MSM and ensures divisiveness in the populace. “Barack Obama is behind in the gold medal game and he has to prove he is a big enough hero to overcome adversity.” Poppycock.
Larry McAwful: 3AM txt messages are definitely a part of the homosexual gay agenda. Grammpappy McCain was getting his ‘Country First’ sleep, because he has to be rested to save the world from higher taxes and Czechoslovakians.
Hopey clearly lost this battle.
Larry McAwful:
Figuratively speaking, smartass!
what no comments on our crax team of FBI dudes, once again saying they knew everything before it happened and if only, only someone would listen to them. The poor little Feds.
I know…before you get a mortgage you need to put all your belongings into a 6×6 inch plastic bag, remove your shoes, take your laptop out of the bag and take OFF YOUR GODDAM BELT NOW OR I’LL SEND YOU BACK TO THE END OF THE LINE.
Yeah, that’ll teach them subprime cheats just like its stoppin the muzzie terrists.
Too bad McCain hasn’t threatened conscription of post-menopausal sourpusses to fight his next couple of wars. That would go a long way to getting these babes to STFU and get on the bus.
Servo: Build up my hopes like than, then dash them out on a rock… sigh…
DoctorCulturae: And spending three hours of prime time AM “news” coverage bellowing about what Barack has to do and explain, yet not a peep about expecting the same of McCain, he doesn’t have to answer to or explain anything? Jeesus, get this over with already, if the electorate is that stupid, (and it is), just be done with it and have your old, white guy.
The EFF-BEE-EYE figured out (stumbled across) the mortgage crisis while the Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board were busy looking for Jimmy Hoffa’s killer.
Larry McAwful:
Hillary is the only Clinton authorized to draw blood. Sorry.
freakishlystrong: So… Obama has to “explain,” and after 8 years of the most horrendous administration in the history of the republic the opposition, who has supported that administration, has to answer for nothing and tries to change the subject. And the MSM does not care, turning the show into a BritneyKFed-like spat. Keith where are you?
The campaign should be McFeign = Repubtard, period.
Larry McAwful: Anytime a Republican suggests the “helpful comment” that Hillary should have been chosen, it could be suggested that McCain could help heal the world by choosing her as his running mate. Let him run with the albatross if it’s such a good idea. They spent years salivating over the chance to run against her. Now that they’re denied the target they spent over a decade trying to rape and pillage, they suddenly find things to like about her? Umm, prior to the point it came mildly politically expedient, where was their love for Hillary? Any Hillary supporter who falls for this should really give their head a shake.
Hillary will be the Nader of 2008, ushering in another eight years of Republican hell, for which she will be reviled for ever and ever. The end.
Larry McAwful:
The republicans are one tracked minded on electability. Look at their candidate. I can’t think of anyone weaker than than McSkidmarks. They’d vote for a piece of driftwood (e.g. mittens).
Also if Obama would have picked HRC, they would have said he was weak and needed to depend on her.
Please tell me that they called Hillary about it, please tell me they called Hillary.
I thought the FBI’s top priority was porn!
Larry McAwful: Listen, you can bet Obama asked Hillary to be V.P. and she turned him down. She wants to be the prez, not V.P. if Obama won and she was veep she’s out of the picture, she would be a sidelined back bencher, for eight years and then she’s an old wrinkled snag at the end of that period. If Obama is successful with Biden on the ticket she’s out of the running again because she won’t win in a challenge against a sitting dem prez. American’s don’t want to look at a 70 something old prune running for prez. However, let Obama run with Biden and fail and she can run in 4 years. It was really her only play, outside of a coup at the convention.
momus:
Have you never been to the movies? The FBI’s top priority is taking investigations over “from here on out” from local cops who have a far better understanding of just what sort of a madman we’re dealing with here, then getting bogged down in useless negotiations while our hero slips in through the back, frees the hostages, kill the bad guy and his henchmen and does all sorts of property damage that the Chief of Police will have to scream at him about later.
Serolf Divad: Was it one of those lite brite toys that terrorized and brought Boston down to its knees last year? I knew we need Rudy to protect us from the aqua teen hunger force. OH PLEASE SAVE US !! SAVE US OH GREAT ONE !!
Mumble Softly: Word has it that the package contained a large order of fries a milkshake, and a wad of meat. All with the ability to talk.
HollowBrain: Fucking terrorists!!! I bet it was a halal peace of meat too !!
