Stevie just said “I know Barack Obama is going to set this country on fire.”
OH TEH NOES!
We Care A Lot.
Jim, let us know when the New Caliphate is declared.
And you, Sarah and Ken know that when the light comes out of the Ark, don’t look at it!
Don’t give up! As soon as they’re done planting bombs and destroying marriage, they’ll be right on.
Did you get a chance to see Fake Stevie Wonder accusing Barack Obama of being a pyromaniac terrorist?
Yaaay! I figured you’d have trouble after TPM reported, at 4:07 est, that they got the last two seats in the press room.
Empty seats, Denver? for shame.
Squiggyfm: ZOMG! Quick! Pray for rain!!
Squiggyfm: That’s Johnny McNukey’s job. Barack is supposted to cover the country with rainbows and unicorns.
Al Gore is up next. Remember when we thought he was indistinguishable from Bush? Gush-Bore 2000? Those were good times.
I think they are unemployed Beijing volunteers.
hey guys, you’re alive! We tried to burn the site down while you were gone, but no luck.
…Jim how was your full cavity search? Did you at least get dinner afterward?
You’re drinking in a bar and taking pictures off the TV screen, aren’t you?
Gotta run for a minute - getting really warm here - need to blast some AC - oh there’s Al Gore
Oh goody — is it a slideshow?
I’m surprised at the empty nosebleed seats.
Damn that blue tie.
Sean O: There’s empty seats because of the insane security. Welcome to the post 9/11 world, we will never be not paranoid again.
By the way, what is this business with Barry texting us? I replied with VOL + my name + location, but I don’t know why. The text just said, “to get involved locally.” I assume this means that Barry is going to make a shout out to me personally in the middle of his speech.
Al Gore is bigger than Stevie Wonder! Girth-wise.
He always sounds like he’s on Ambien
Allahu Akhbar!
No Al — thank you. How the hell did you lose to that motherfucker in the first place?
…yeah, thank a lot Al! You are only 4 months late on the endorsement!!!
Oh dear. He is saying “fuck you all, by not electing me you fucked yourselves”
Did Al just drop an “I told you bitches you should have elected me?”
jagorev: You believed Nader’s Big Lie?
If they aren’t they no longer have my respect.
OK, Al’s recycling joke made me laugh.
Two words, Al: Re Count.
itgetter: Welcome to the cult! You now have to volunteer for Obama if you want your cat to live!
Al Gore: “Hey bitches! See what happens when you don’t elect me?”
Al Gore: I’d do him.
I’m not sure which is worse, watching these people congratulate each other on their speeches or watching them try to dance.
…who would have figured that FAUX News would have went on a commercial break during Gores speech?
Oh, oh, Al dissed Bill by propping Biden. Ha, Ha.
Cookie Guggelman: I… uh… actually thought Bush was preferable because I would have liked to have a beer with him. I am not kidding, and I am not proud.
jagorev: What if I hate cats?
which is Gore and which is the Greek column?????@#$??
al is the lorax, he speaks for the trees
jagorev: Noooooooo! Mr. Snuffles!!! I thought that Dems worshiped cats’ anuses! (I have never had to pluralize ‘anus’ before)
This is the most scintillating Al’s bin in zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Taking odds that Al does not utter the C(linton)word. Any takers?
Will he run???
Ack! The end of civilization!
Al, slow down! You’re totally rushing.
Mmm, Daniel Dae Kim.
a 50 year lease on the GOP is actually kind of a good line.
…FUKK ME!!! Can they stop reminding people that John McCain, has EVER been a decent person(and he hasn’t). Its like saying “That girl is ugly as hell, but I’d hit it!”. It doesn’t make any sense Geeeeeeeeeez!!!
So I’m at work as usual and you guys are drinking and having fun, while the number 666 is being microchipped into every one ain Denver.
Remember Gustav is coming!
“They have a 50-year lease on the Republican party, and they’re drilling it for all they’re worth.”
Ha ha, Republicans like gay sex, in the butt.
onosideboard: Really? He finally made it off the island?!
Why is Al turning side to side at the waist? His shoulders move from side to side like the animatronic robot the endeared itself to voters in ‘00.
blue tie day was yesterday
blah blah blah, end of civilization, no ice cap, destabilizing nations, zzzzz. Whatevs. Why aren’t you exciting me, Al? Where’s the dramatic language?
Daniel Dae Kim is there? What about the other passengers of Oceanic 816?
Showusyertitz, Al!
…now FAUX News is showing WALNUTS! Fukking WALNUTS!? Why do I even torture myself by flipping back and forth?
Are y’all having pizza delivered?
itgetter: “Feel pretty stupid for voting for Nader, doncha?! Payback’s been a bitch, eh?”
According to Al, Barack better not go to the theatre anytime soon.
…why did he loose again?!
Perfessor Al tells us what we need to know. Does the Nobel committee give a wallet card in addition to that big decorated plaque? Will he show us?
AngryBlakGuy: Is he trying to preempt Obama’s speech by announcing his VP choice?
AngryBlakGuy: …and your fellow Wonketeers, in turn?
itgetter: Apparently all the Losties need to do is drink and drive and they’d be home free.
MSNBC showed him in the crowd… he’s the Asian dude in a white shirt.
There is only One True God, and Barack Hussein bin Obama is his prophet.
Wake me up when Abu Malia descends from the mount to speak.
Wow… Gore isn’t that exciting, but his speech rocks
Jukesgrrl: …only if Absolut Vodka is a topping!
i’m giving myself a root canal at the moment - need to feel alive
AngryBlakGuy: Torture is wrong!
I think Barry is going to have the same probs Al is having. I don’t think they can hear the crowd at the DNVR Parthenon. Plus, Al must have hit the Starbucks lounge backstage.
CivicHoliday: …nah, it looks like O’Rielly just being a turd as usual.
Jukesgrrl: They’re picking off the weak and the sick amongst the delegates. How they cook, them I have no idea.
Ok, I’m getting really sick with all the prayer-speak. This is nuts. Are they REALLY worth pandering too? GAWD!
“He looks like he could gore.”
“Heh, he does look like Al Gore!”
new thread!
I wonder if the dinosaurs had an Al Gore - asaur and they all ignored him because he was so hard to pay attention to
Tweety’s getting it right on the supremes issue.
bitchincamaro: Cookie Guggelman: …it like popping a pimple. You know you shouldn’t but you just cant stop yourself!
Knock off the “greatest nation in the history of the world” bullshit, Tweety. Goddammm.
what about manbearpig?
“SI SE PUEDE!”
/Cesar Chavez’s ghost leading a chant at Barry’s Parthenon
…ok, now that is pretty damn serious! When you start doing the wave at a political rally its the final sign of the apocalypse!
AngryBlakGuy: You’re a fukkin poet, my man.
Wow, it’s Mark Twain singing and playing. Oh, fuck. It’s Michael McDonald. Erp.
AngryBlakGuy: Save yourself the trouble of checking in to get their commentary after Obama’s speech. Here is exactly what Bill Kristol will say:
“You know, not to be a curmudgeon, but I just don’t get it. Was that supposed to be impressive? Where were the specifics? He should have laid out a complete point-by-point plan to solve all of our international conflicts, produce a billion dollar surplus, and create oil from puppy tears. Instead all I heard was HOPE this and CHANGE that. Although I barely heard a word since I was so distracted by those pretentious Greek pillars! Who does he think he is?”
OMG, Jesse’s is ready to cut Barry”s trucknutz off. and he said riot. he’s drunk. David Gregory sucks Jesse’s teeny weeny. JJ is one big ass motherfukkin hypocrite. WaddaCunt.
The milf in the red suit is lulling me to sleep. And it is good.
Holy shit! are we going to war with Denver cops??? Gawd bless our dissenting warriors!
CNN (Skeletor Carville) is going to jump on why those 10 seats up the nose bleed section aren’t taken.
I’m in love with the Sgt. Major behind the speaker. She’s the hot dominatrix in the pearl necklace.
This thread is fun. God bless this thread.
Can we start a new pre-pre-Obama thread, please?
Biden needs to grab the mic stand and smash the hell out of it on the the deck. I needs me some crowd surfing.
loquaciousmusic: This thread needs a CHANGE!
biden’s wife is so hot.
Steady KO, This is exciting, but don’t pull your jimmy out, babypops.
barry was husky as a kid….like me. That connects.
itgetter: Good job. I’d try to write one for David Brooks but I want to stay awake for the speech.
