Oh flippeter floppeter! Remember how Barack Obama made so much fun of John McCain for wanting to form a “9/11 Commission” to investigate the terrorist financial bomb that hit Wall Street this weekend so that the commission could, in a year or two, make a bunch of recommendations for everyone to ignore? Well it turns out that Obama used to love commissions and voted in favor of a number of them over the years, so now he will be found guilty of treason and banished to outer space to count rats forever.

Oh, well, shit, I can’t vote for this guy.
Barry’s too elite to count rats. He’ll hire someone.
I think you all are missing the big story of the day, which is that John McCain has refused to negotiate with Emiliano Zapata over the return of the southwestern United States to Mexico.
I 100% gare-un-tee Ralph Nader will never form a Presidential commission. Nader/Gonzalez ’08!
What is true?
Truth is no longer important in politics. What you believed yesterday is only as important as what is expedient today. Just look at McCain’s run. How do we bring truth back into the process? How do we hold these guys accountable for what they say? Words don’t mean a thing anymore.

Damn, Instapundit strikes again. Put away all you Obama gear folks and prepare for our clueless overlors, Walnuts and Caribou Barbie. Barry, how could you?
[re=100079]InsidiousTuna[/re]: You and Lady Rothschild.
In other news:
Jammakane doesn’t know where Spain is. http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/217792.php
McCain doesn’t like Russia using guns to attack Georgia, yet he likes hunters who use guns to shoot animals. Is he for them or against them? Good? Bad? Yes? No? Flippity-flopper!
[re=100087]gurukalehuru[/re]: Yes, please.
Yes, Repubs. Obama was for commissions that studied problems AFTER the fact not something that is happening in real time.
The only thing that is keeping me from wanting to reach through the tubes to strangle Steve Douchey is that when the credit bomb blows, he’ll be as broke as I am.
“It sounds like he’s against commissions” .. yeah, it sounds like that when you’re a complete fucking moron who needs to fill up air time on Fox.
“Obama’s been very critical of how the Republicans have handled the wall street crisis.”
“It sounds like he’s against money.”
“In fact, he’s against republicans, and republicans are people, so I’m thinking Obama is anti-people.”
“Never was a people person, that Obama.”
[re=100087]gurukalehuru[/re]: Actually Walnuts has no clue who the hell Zapata is or where Spain is located. I think he thought the reporter was asking him if he wanted more tacos.
So my choice is between Obama, who suggested forming a commission BEFORE the shit hit the fan, and McPalin, who will form a commission now that it’s too late… Hmmmm, let me think about this for two seconds…
This is worse than those six months he fought with Al Qaeda. Pick a side, Goddamn it.
[re=100087]gurukalehuru[/re]: [re=100094]InsidiousTuna[/re]: I really think that Caribou Barbie’s mere presence is sapping brain-power from Grampy McOldster. His statement regarding US relations with Spain and how it veered off into Mexico without ever addressing the actual issue (i.e. Spain) is exactly the sort of answer I expect from the Arctic Princess, not him. Fail.
WALNUTS! asked for a commission, and Barry said “thanks, but no thanks.”
Can we call this the Commission to Nowhere?
[re=100097]ManchuCandidate[/re]: I like ‘Fox and Friends’. It’s the closest thing we have to a real life ‘Anchorman – The Legend of Ron Burgundy’. And it’s great to watch when you’re stoned out of your gourd. ‘Morning Joe’ has too much yelling and Pat BOO-chanan.
let’s see a 9/11 type commission to investigate how Foxnews commentators can keep a straight face while saying such ridiculous shit
[re=100102]Giant Robot[/re]: NO THINKING!!!!! Truthiness only, please.
[re=100097]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Just what I was coming to post. All this does is set Barry up for another chance to jokingly refute their claims and make them look foolish for bringing it up in the first place.
[re=100101]Hunter Gathers[/re]: Walnuts is just ignoring the Spanish problem. If he wins, there will be a flood of American escapees to Spain. No doubt some of those will be some of our best lawyers which will go to work on lawsuits to claim America back for Spain. Then Walnuts will be a governor and get his executive experience although he will have to report to some swarthy Spanish-Mexicano, Cuban or something
Watching all of these ass clowns read their talking points is ridiculous.
It’s like a bad Disney movie.
[re=100115]LittlePhatGuise[/re]: Matt Damon? Is that you?
This is not a flip flop, people. It is a change we can believe in.
[re=100113]Borat[/re]: Spain, eh? As long as they have cerveza and mota, I’m there.
[re=100115]LittlePhatGuise[/re]: Disney movies have plots.
[re=100104]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: She’s a succubus! Why haven’t we seen it before!
John McCain will form a commission to determine who this Zapatero fellow is and whether his so-called “Spain” is willing to denounce and reject its role as a staging ground for Hannibal’s invasion of Italy. Only then will he be sure that we share the same values with this inscrutable exotic people.
These guys make Sarah Palin look intelligent. That’s all you need to know about Fox & Friends.
fox and friends doesn’t even *try* to hide the fact that they’re reading memos from karl rove anymore.
[re=100106]Hunter Gathers[/re]: I could not agree more, Morning Joe has become a three hour Obama Hatefest and I prefer my cuppa without it..”Why can’t Obama close the deal?”
You know who I hate? Consortiums. What the fuck are those?
[re=100094]InsidiousTuna[/re]: That interview is outstanding.
The right will spin this into, McBush doesn’t speak “spanglish”.
“I NOT a Mexican!”
“Senator McSame, you know Lucy’s from El Salvador.”
[re=100123]Vanity Smurf[/re]: Haha, she is one who can’t protect her email very well.

[re=100117]Cogito Ergo Bibo[/re]: 0.o
[re=100112]MrAgro[/re]:
This is why I hate Marshall Mcluhan.
Context is everything, but these dopes just believe the medium is the message.
Example: Bullshit
Bullshit dumped on your doorstep vs. Bullshit dumped in your garden
According the Marshall, this means the same thing. In reality one is an act of total hate while the other is an act of love to fertilize your garden so it will grow longer.
Faux is burning Bullshit dumped on your door.
All this complaining is unnecessary. Mooseala has the answer that will fix EVERYTHING. I can’t wait. It is sooo cool.

[re=100124]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I think you’re my favorite commenter here.
[re=100128]freakishlystrong[/re]: “Why can’t Obama close the deal?” Who closes the deal 6 weeks before voting starts? We do still vote in this country, Mr Scarborough. Go back to the Redneck Riviera and take that vapid barbie doll Mika with you.
Barry puts the ‘commi’ in ‘commission’!
good idea slim – “get the smartest people IN THE WORLD together” to figure shit out.
OH NOES!!! IT’S COMMISIONGATE!!!!
You’re taking shit from instapundit? The people who pushed the “Michelle Obamay-Hate Whitey” tape? Might as well go with the Freepers.
We must appoint a committee to look in to this commission, schedule a meeting right away
There are sins of omission as well as commission, my children, if we can believe the great plagiarist St. Thomas Aquinas. Actually, I think there are sins of emission, too, if you’re Catholic, and since I drive I-10 frequently, sins of transmission. Forming a “blue ribbon committee” in Chicago was always Daley’s way of saying, “We don’t want to fix this particular problem, thank you.” He got burned with the Walker Report (“police riot”), but as the Warren and most other commissions proved, a commission is effective political quicksand into which you can sink almost anything and make it disappear (by the time the Warren Commission report came out, nobody remembered which President had been shot). McCain’t would like investigation and regulation of his banker friends to go away.
Oh Fox & Friends, where would we be in this country without your unflinching eye reporting the blatant hypocrisy of our politicians. Why, we’d have national health care, a balanced budget, wouldn’t be in 2 wars at once, and not be nationalizing banks, that’s where! That’s un-Amur’can!
ZOMG I WANNA HAVE STEVE DOOCEY’S BABIES!
[re=100105]Strictly for the Tardcore[/re]: awesome.
Barry’s Lazy-get-back-to-you-later Chickens are coming home to roost!
They’re bringing waffles.
[re=100102]Giant Robot[/re]: Only someone who has no idea of why a crisis is happening or how to deal with it would suggest appointing a commission to study it while it was happening instead of figuring out what to do. And since John McCain was a POW for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS and Sarah Palin can see Alaska from her house and has FIVE AND A HALF CHILDREN both of them are too smart something like that.
[re=100106]Hunter Gathers[/re]: Stay classy Amerika!
[re=100267]JadedDIssonance[/re]: Mmmm. Chicken and Waffles, I’ve got a Roscoe’s jones now.
[re=100267]JadedDIssonance[/re]: I should have been clearer. I was making fun of the righty view of the situation.
And if we want to start discussing waffles, methinks WALNUTS! is the guy with the batter and iron… you know, HOME COOKED AND AUTHENTIC.
That was before a commission killed his father and burnt down his house. Now he knows better than to trust one with the safety of his family. He learned the hard way.

[re=100124]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Didn’t John McCain crash one of Hannibal’s elephants while rampaging through Rome? I believe they kept him as a gladiator for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!
[re=100131]Vanity Smurf[/re]: “Clueless reference! OMG! That so like my favorite movie like evah! My BFF and I watch that movie like all the time. The Obama is such Baldwin! McCain is so a baarney and that Sarah is such a full on Monet.
What the sam hell is wrong with wanting to form a way by which to tell what may or may not be going on in Wall Street BEFORE it happens? Now that it’s happened, we need to address the problem right away. Priorities, people! Oh, wait: First cake, then fix problem, then commissions, then carbo-load-shave-down in the Oval Office and do it again tomorrow.
As a semi-professional artist with dreams of dumping the day job, I am unequivocally in favor of commissions.
Always have been; always will be.
Watching that made my tummy hurt. Please, teh wankeet, please don’t make us watch any more Fox news clips.
