Hey you squawking dingleberries on the cable teevee news? Are you aware there was a Stock Market Rally today? The S&P shot up 4%, which is … about a 10% “recovery.com” from the October collapse? Still! Anyway, obviously, this presidency is in dire shape, what with a very popular new president and all, so let’s watch this speech CLOSELY for signs of WEAKNESS. If you see any such sign, SELL OFF YOUR INVESTMENTS, and abandon your mortgage. It’s his fault! Let’s liveblog, with the best political liveblogging team in History.
8:57 PM — Your managing editor watches MSNBC so Newell won’t have to, and here’s what Chris Matthews has to say about Bobby Jindal: “I’m not impressed with this guy one bit …. he’s competing for that outer rail of republican support, out where Sarah and Huckabee are, that’s where he’s headed.”
8:58 PM — Which is true and all, but now Matthews is quoting Barbra Streisand.
8:59 PM — Oh lord, Olbermann has 30 innocent voters hooked up to a “people meter,” as “an experiment.” It’s a sex probe thing, like in that impenetrable New York Times Magazine cover story about the Science of Horniness.
9:00 PM — Sullenberger! DRINK!
9:00 PM — Seriously, we called this shit. You are playing the Drinking Game, right?
9:01 PM — Olbermann just called the ambassador from Djibouti a justice of the Supreme Court. Stevens, we imagine, is who he was thinking of, just then.
9:03 PM — Ruth Bader Ginsburg strolls in, everybody cheers like crazy, except, presumably, Jim Bunning, who is glumly masturbating to a picture of the Negro Leagues.
9:04 PM — Michelle Obama is here, HAWT.
9:05 PM — Oh look at these schemers, the “President’s Cabinet,” including Hillary Clinton. She used to work here at the Capitol. The irony!
9:05 PM — Geithner, Gates, the all-stars! (Turbo Tax, Iraq.)
9:06 PM — Obama has hired every single ’08 Democratic candidate or operative unless they were on their way to jail. (Or unless they’re Dennis Kucinich. Shouldn’t Liz K. get a sweet gig, as your editor’s personal diplomat?)
9:07 PM — There’s Rahm, just cold giving people seizures, row after row.
9:08 PM — Yes, we know the “draft” of the speech is already out there, on Drudge, certainly, but that is just zero fun, you know?
9:11 PM — NEVER FORGET.
9:11 PM — Michele Bachmann is just slathering her mouth with whatever baby gel right now, gettin’ ready.
9:13 PM — Wow, jesus, listen to this crowd (Congress). Hooting, hollering, whistles, wild applause. You know, your editor has been doing these things for Wonkette for what, four years now, and he has never heard a ruckus like this.
9:15 PM — He gave Nancy and Joe their graduation certificates.
9:16 PM — Uh oh, Obama and Pelosi spoke over each other for 0.2 seconds. Get John Roberts up there to re-administer the Constitution!
9:17 PM — Oh man, how long has Barack been waiting to pull that smooth “and the First Lady of the United States” line? He is getting so laid tonight.
9:17 PM — So far, not gloomy, yet still recession-y. And yes we have had a few sleepness nights, so, uh, you good folks at BlogAds just keep keepin’ on, etc.
9:18 PM — OH FUCK YEAH WE WILL RECOVER HELL YEAH YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!
9:19 PM — Hey why won’t old Rangel stand up? (Probably due to a NOT FUNNY health issue.)
9:20 PM — Newell beeps, “Biden is looking at his watch.” Nah, he’s just looking at some porn on his Treo!
9:21 PM — So the culprits are a) Evil Schemers, b) Republicans, and c) viewers like you.
9:22 PM — Harry Reid’s all “oh I am getting HELLA bullet trains.”
9:22 PM — JOBS JOBS JOBS.
9:23 PM — Stimulus! It’s the Law. (WOOT!)
9:24 PM — There are 57 police in Minneapolis, right now, because of Stimulus! YES, policemen!
9:24 PM — On this coming April Fool’s Day, you will find More Money in your paycheck (if you have a job).
9:25 PM — “Because nobody messes with Joe.” This was the comedy gag. Everyone cracks up, applauds, Joe Biden, that fuckin’ guy!
9:25 PM — Hey, close-up of Jabba the Hutt out there, lookin’ good.
9:27 PM — Your money is safe, at the banks, if you have money! So chill.
9:27 PM — But the LENDING, that is the problem, the lack of it, the flow of credit.
9:27 PM — No more credit, no more … anything, apparently. (Uhm maybe we should just pay for stuff, cash? Is that weird? Yeah we guess that is weird, generally.)
9:28 PM — Wow this is a thing we heard some commentator on Marketplace suggest the other day, some kind of lending vouchers for banks, and Obama is cold doing it, because he listened to this show, in his Volvo.
9:29 PM — Okay okay, mortgages, savings, $2,000 extra, etc. Could we please hear about the spaceships now? Black president announcing the Spaceships, now that is some History!
9:30 PM — Ugh, what was up with that creepy shot of Vinegar Joe Lieberman, his mouth tragically replaced with a raw, red human undulating anus?
9:33 PM — “It’s not about helping banks, it’s about helping people.” This was such a good line, he said it twice! And then, the video professor explains how … well, how money works. He is quite good at this lecturing stuff. He’s got a real future!
9:34 PM — Now he says “You slackers over in the Congress, here, and you know who I’m talking about, better get it together.
9:35 PM — And here comes your beloved Sara K. Smith, with a new liveblog! Yes She Can!

Fucking Clarence Thomas almost knocks over Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Loved seeing Ruth walk in.
If Ginsburg drops dead right now we’ll all owe Bunning a HUGE apology.
um, congresspeople staking out seats on the isle since 8am? what is this a line for billy joel tickets?
Michelle!!!! Nice dress. Daring to go sleeveless.
Bobby Jindal = Anoop Dog
Holy shit Michelle looks fuckable tonight.
The racist have GOT to hate this part. Also, HOT SERVICEMEMBER ALERT. Also or whatever.
So nice to see a bunch of dems. What the fuck color does Hill have on????
Ooh Michelle’s dress is cut above the knee! That must be a first in the history of First Ladies.
O-Bingo time!!
point, point, clap, clap
Hey, Hillary’s back from Asia. And she actually looks nice in that.
Hey, don’t tell me WONKETTE is on overload already….
The fuck color is Hillz wearing? Goddamn.
Sec’y Clinton…clap, clap, point, point, down the aisle
What’s the deal with the emo leprechaun? I swear I have not yet touched a drop. Hic.
Hello, Geithner. Hello, Geithner’s giant forehead.
Seriously Ruth, hunt down Bunning. Do it now! Laugh in his face! Pleaseeeeeeee!
“Madam Speaker! Go fuck yourself!”
I kind of want to lie next to Tim Geithner and tell him how my day went.
Oh so Eric Holder will be the prez if Sully doesn’t land this thing successfully….
Who’s the chick in the teal on the right side of the aisle just inside the door? She’s cute.
Here are all the tax frauds and lobbyist whores, aka the “President’s Cabinet”.
Why are they applauding all of the secretaries? Just for walking across the floor without tripping?
here is president McCain? i havent watched any news since the night before the election, he won right?
No one wants to shake Geitner’s hand. He has economic bailout cooties.
[re=250927]Cookie Guggelman[/re]: i read that justice pudic hair and RBG are like BFFs and they go to the opera together and stuff. does RBG haz jungle fever?
Can’t wait to see Da Man
Hot Pink Hillz!
Anyone else hoping that Barry struts to podium with his Bear-Head Pimp Stick as Sly & The Family Stone’s “Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again)” plays on the public address system?
OMG Rahm! Move aside old lady – I want to see my Rahmbo!
*swoon*
God he’s delicious.
Geithner was just standing around awkwardly while everyone went crazy about Hillary. Barbara Boxer finally took pity on him and shook his hand. He looks about as awkward as your average college freshman at their first big party of fall semester.
[re=250941]simetrias[/re]: Fuschia. I think it looks better than most of her outfits. Maybe she’s been getting tips from Condi.
[re=250941]simetrias[/re]: Pepto Pink. Horrible
THE PREZ!!!! Lemme guess, BLUE TIE
less hillz more rahm
rahm just did the 12 year old girl hand sign for call-me, why? oh good, captain sully is there.
[re=250963]Cicada[/re]: for walking down the aisle without neglecting to pay thousands of dollars in taxes
Did Rahm Emanuel just flip somebody off? Or was that the universal symbol for “call me”?
Janet N. is totally dykearific.
I’m thinking the teal chick is one of the Sanchez sisters.
I hope he enters the chamber on a skateboard like Bart Simpson.
Who else is betting on Blue Tie?
Hmmm. A little too much ‘event flavour’ for me.
What is Speaker Pelosi in tonite? Ugh. The wimmins are not showing the best colors tonight (or they got word that MIchelle would be the hottest in the House)
Does Blitzer get paid by the word? Jesus Christ. BREATHE!
Historic moment coming up! (200,000th this year)
[re=250969]obfuscator[/re]: I imagine him reaching into his coat pocket and saying: “Scuse me while I whip this out….”
I LIKE HILLZ DRESS YOU HATERZ
That’s it, I’m going to join the Confluence now.
Heeeeeeeres Barry!
[re=250959]Colander[/re]: He’s only 14!
Did anybody else hear a “Holla!!” when the prez was introduced?
Why can’t we be friends, why can’t we be friends
Red Tie
so i was lead to believe that this started at 8, what is this France
YAAAAAAAAAY!
[re=250984]simetrias[/re]: Red w/white stripes!
Let me just whip this out …
had to be done.
barry comes in with his posse of senators en tow. pretty badass
This is part that we used to cringe at.
Barry is looking lovely.
..what a terminally odd thing to say about the President of the United States. True though.
HE’S KISSING MEN. Is our President a gay?
Is that nice young black man our president?
He has makeup on
Hail to the Chief. I think I’ll toss my bra at my television screen, now.
Sanchez gets a very tasteful kiss in. Not like that tonguey slobberer, Bachman.
Nancy is trying to smile thru the Botox.
I’m not seeing any executive-legislative fist bumps…
All that handshaking. All I can think about is the germs. So many germs. THE GERMS!!!
I was hoping for WWF-style pyrotechnics and blaring music, but this’ll do.
Oh nooes! Barry’s giving the used car salesmen “point the finger”! I gotta deal for you!
Nooooooessss.
After thought, Nice dress.
he’s got a leash on all these republican senators lumbering in behind him. even these douchetards can’t resist the Obamamania!
Hm. He must be one of the Good Ones.
it appears all the members of congress got copies of hopey’s speech and played the wonkette drinking game. those bitches are tanked.
Harry Reid, with a “kick me” sign on his back.
But why does Barry have to walk with Kirk Cameron’s friend from Growing Pains behind him?
trying to pick out the winner “most tepid clapping” award
No, wait, I think that was just a manly hug. False alarm.
What happened to his hair??? Got a real buzz cut this time. Dah-am. Looks weird.
I wonder if Barry will mess the speech up and have to do it again tomorrow night, at the White House, under the cover of darkness.
Obama should totally lay a smooch on Arlen Specter.
God, I really do love him.
Nom nom nom. Barack, you are so tasty, I could eat you with a little spoon.
Ba–rry! Ba-rry!
I thought Stevie Wonder would be playing the processional.
Who’s the bearded hottie holding the door open on the House floor?
Where’s the tongue kiss from Michelle Bachmann?
Holy shit that woman has some jungle fever.
He’s giving ‘em the “I’m a Handsome Black Man” handshake/hug! Excelsior!
Nice kiss for Mrs. C. That’s sweet.
No tongue for Hillary
Obama kisses all the girls…and they let him.
Yes, David Gregory just said “pitching a tent”.
Kiss kiss, Hillary, ha ha, I’m prez and you’re not, now siddown n smile.
Does Sheila Jackson Lee and Eliot Engel have to stand there all day or can they plant a page in the spot to save it? If thats the case, why didnt Burris just drop a placeholder in 2 weeks ago?
That photographer behind him looks like Alberto Gonzales.
Justice Roberts totally just touched a black guy. He just got unfollowed so hard on Twitter.
big hug for RBG! and clarence thomas with a HUGE smile. comity!
The angle CNN got on the Hopey-Hillary kiss made it look like she got one on the lips. GIVE HER SOME TONGUE, HOPEY!!!
Is Sen Bachman going to make out with him?
Enough already, get up there talk!
Waiting for the inaugural fist bump at the SoTU. Don’t let us down!
[re=251014]Incredulicious[/re]: Howie Mandel, glad you could be with us tonight.
Wow, Alito was kind of pissy looking when Barry shook his hand.
Oh man the red tie is fucking the shit up out of my goddamn teevee
[re=251005]jagorev[/re]: We live in hope, sweetie.
Michelle in slurple purple, yummy.
Thank YOU. Wow. I’m getting chills all over again. Nice wave, too.
Jindal has a compelling story about how if you don’t care how well your state’s Medicaid actually does, you can cut a lot of fat out of its budget.
Seriously, under his tenure it went from 49th to 50th out of all the states. Not something to brag about, no matter how much money you save the state. Of course, I fully expect him to show up, flicking holy water at the tv camera and yelling “the power of Christ compels you! The power of Christ compels you!”
Barry looks all glowy and shiny under all the adoring attention. This whole “love object of the whole planet” thing hasn’t gotten old for him yet, apparently.
Ha-ha. The crazy libruls on NPR are talking about how Barry’s presidency has been very successful so far, what with the high approval ratings and getting the stimulus passed.
HAVEN’T THEY HEARD THAT NOBAMA HAS FAILED!!!!!1!!!!!! FAILED!!!!!1!!!!1!!11 THE ECONOMY IS ALL NOBAMAS FAULT!!!!!
I really wanted to hear JayZ’s “My President is Black” but I guess he’s saving that for the SOTU.
Nancy Pelosi is wearing an old lady coat.
shut the fuck up and do not reach across the aisle during this speech peoples…
Oh god Barry. Again with the fast talking.
Ooops, they messed that up.
Protocol Barry! Remember the protocol…
Good lord, it’s a rock concert in there. A pair of panties is going to fly through the air in a minute.
yeah she’s totes wearing a snuggie
[re=250984]simetrias[/re]: Who else is betting on Blue Tie?
I’d like to point out that I TOTALLY CALLED red tie with white stripes.
You must all drink.
Jeez, Congress. It’s not Mickey Rourke, you can relax.
[re=251013]obfuscator[/re]: executive-legislative fisting, you mean.
Jumped on Nancy’s line. We don’t do that in the House.
wait, where the fuck is Cheney?
That was awkward.
Nancy looked TOO thrilled, like, damn, I had to do that for Bush
Ha ha, he and Pelosi stepped on each others’ line. Now they’ll have to redo the whole thing tomorrow at the White House.
First Lady is gettin some later/
If only Isaac Hayes were around to play him in.
I’ll give Michelle a standing o.
OH… that was sweet! M Obama said “I love you.”
I love that Michelle blew her hubby a kiss.
AAaaaaaw, shout-out to Michelle… i feel gaily melty.
Shit, I’m already out of beer up here. Poor planning. BRB, run to kitchen.
A FLOTUS intro? Oh yeah. He’s getting some tonight!
17 min to start FAIL
Goddamn MSNBC and their stupid line thingy.
We still need some work on the teleprompter reading. He looks like he’s at McEnroe/Borg.
We’ve all been in crisis, Mr. O.
Anyone know how much cosmetic work Biden and Pelosi have between them?
Oh wow, Michelle. I see starbursts. She just made me gay! Liberal Communist agenda?!!!11!
Okay, this parts boring. Perhaps I will read these last few pages of Tom Clancy’s Debt of Honor.
GAH!
America is on CRISIS again ….WFT …..again ….. SHUTTA FUCK UP !!!!
Nancy Pelosi: Do not look at the playbill when the camera is on you!
This is going to own.
[re=251068]smellyal8r[/re]: Impeachment proceedings start tomorrow.
We will survive, we will survive!
Put your drink down, Nancy.
USA! USA! USA!
[re=251074]SuperRounder[/re]: I’d be happy with some Curtis Mayfield.
[re=251001]j6n[/re]: Kudos on the Blazing S. reference.
Stop fidgeting, Pelosi.
clap you ass …. clap your ass retars…..
Um, in which fields do these answers lay?
Here’s the hopey part so the markets won’t be engulfed by a giant FAIL meteor.
Oh, man. I’m gonna be drunk, you guys.
The answers are in test tubes? Pod people?
Does Nancy Pelosi know she’s on camera?
Is my girl Nancy always going to fix her hair halfway through clapping? That does not look supportive enough.
This MSNBC People Meter shows McCain voters being more approving. I think.
When does he get to the war crimes trial part?
Pelosi! Stop licking your lips like a lizard.
“Yes, this is the President’s office calling. Please tell the Vice President to wear a cornflower blue tie so he will match the President’s.” Nyuk, nyuk.
Has he already gone greyer?
[re=251088]choinski[/re]: sokay, if the worst case scenario happens, then our Jack Ryan will be Eric Holder, who’s got a hot mustache and all.
if he mentions universal health care i will have a moneygasm
Slam Dubya on squandering the surplus — yeah.
“The time to take charge of our future is here.”
Fuck you, Boehner.
When are the five previous presidents coming out to present the Oscar?
[re=251088]choinski[/re]: i agree this show is well boring. house hunters is on hgtv right now, its in vegas!!!
[re=251102]Colander[/re]: I already am. There’s nothing to be scared of.
There’s Obama’s new BF Eric Cantor, R-VA. Starting longingly, but forced to sit next to his dad, John Boehner (who smells like a pack of Marlboros)
YAAAAY JOBS!
>>YOU CAN TAKE THAT TO THE BANK!
Only if it’s insured by the FDIC.
John Boehner is such a robot like man.
You do too believe in bigger government, Barry. Shut the hell up.
msnbc has the feel o meter thing going and it FAILS totes
[re=251099]Virtually _insane[/re]: dude, go away. We don’t go to the airport bathroom and smack the dicks outta your mouth.
[re=251097]DustBowlBlues[/re]: He said the sheriff is near!
LET NANCY BE NANCY, you sexist bastards. Would you be complaining if Joe Biden had worn a snuggie and was adjusting his hairplugs/drinking vodka during the speech? Double standards!
Biden’s got this thing down a whole lot better than Pelosi. Just look up every so often so they know you’re not sleeping and that’s it.
Day of reckoning? Was this what the religious wingnutz have been talking about for the last 2000 years?
Note: “… Jobs” — Pelosi claps and cheers, Biden looks at his Blackberry.
Awww, Republicans sitting on their hands. Don’t be bitter. Oh, okay — be bitter. It tastes sweet to me.
[re=251108]hobgoblin of little minds[/re]: It’s the green outfit that makes her look like JubJub.
Judge Dredd drink FAIL.
MASS TRANSIT???? OMG COMMUNISMS!
[re=251102]Colander[/re]: I’m already drunk. Also, it is really hard to type with a glass of wine in one hand. Also.
well, for those of you who still have paychecks
Barry, can I get a faster browser????????????
Do a shot everytime the Republican section keeps sitting when Barry Hussein mentions magicke moneys.
the blingee speaks to me. One side is shiny hope sparkling with joy,and the other side is an ominous swirling torrent of despair. The dripping blood like a metronome to remind us all that we are on borrowed time. And Barry is right in the middle.
Tax cuts on April 1? APRIL FOOLS! The US is broke.
Fuckin’ facts, bitches. MINNEAPOLIS IS SAVED!
Man, it’s great we saved the jobs of Twin Cities cops so that they don’t end up with untrained people who brutalize protestors… wait.
Obama totally just said lay
The economic recovery plan is now law, yay. Fooking Republicans sitting there on their hands. Barry, smite them!
Anyone have a link that will let me watch this online? I tried CNN, but it’s powered by failure… so it’s not working.
[re=251125]imissopus[/re]: Oh, it’s true. It’s true!
Mitch McConnell hates tax cuts, and college!
CBS just showed Boehner and McConnell. They looked like two of the most uncomfortable people on the face of the planet.
Hey, my department put in last week for a $2.5 million aircraft trainer. From stimulus funds. The guy who is in charge of the grant voted for McCain, which I was not hesitant to point out.
The Republicans have doubled-down, PRAYING it doesn’t work.
No body messes with Joe. Ha ha.
Biden’s teeth are a white not found in nature. Frightening.
“Nobody messes with Joe. Except when I want to make fun of him. Which I do, often.”
Is Joe the “Godfather” now?
Oh fuck ….. 99% will received a tax cut ….. here is $13 a week …..
make sure you spend it in USA…. but local grown weed
wow mccain looks old
Nancy Pelosi is the Bette Midler of Congress.
That being said; there should be a feed of the facebook comments on the CNN feed.
woah bitter bitter john mccain looks like he has a hemmorhoi
Oh god, Joe’s gonna save the economy just like he saved Amtrak.
Joe messes with himself
Ferrets!
Biden and oversight should never be in the same sentence.
Recovery.GOV YO!
Biden is such a pimp.
Also, christ I hate Mitch McConnell. I need to move. I want new senators.
Best African American President Ever!
is that FAT ASS going to keep track of the spending ….. wonder who is going to keep track of his coronary….
Holy smokes, SotU has gone hip-hop: “Nobodi mezzes with Joe!”
Is this Chicago mafia talk? Cause what I got out of that was B-man’s gonna give you the smack down if you disagree.
Cops in Minneapolis. Over-under on (mayor) RT (rybak) posting on facebook is 7 minutes.
Mitch McConnell: Senator … Denture wearer … Douchebag.
Most drinking comes from Sour Grapublican closeups.
DON’T MESS WITH JOE
[re=251111]jagorev[/re]: Perhaps I will calm my nerves with this other Tom Clancy novel, Executive Orders.
GAH! Biden is President!
[re=251144]Voyou Charmant[/re]: try CSPAN.org, then MSNBC.com, then if all else fails you can go to foxnews.com or npr.org
Oh Geithner…..gah
“Our economy will be choked off, like Michael Hutchence… we can’t let this happen.”
[re=251120]4tehlulz[/re]: Barry just said everything is insured by the FDIC. The sun and the moon and spooning in June. So there.
I miss seeing Cheney in the background…plotting on how he could get away with shooting troublesome senators in the face and generally shitting on the Constitution.
I’ll shoot black heroin into my penis if Barry says “nationalize”.
Biden caught picking his nose!
I pitty Biden and Pelosi for having to sit, quietly, on camera through this whole thing — but it’s such a relief that we’re not looking at Cheney and Hastert anymore.
We’re creating a new lending fund? A president has actual news at one of these things? What country is this?
It’s cute when the repubs refuse to clap….all three of them.
hillary and timmay g are whispering to each oter
[re=251146]jagorev[/re]: Also, vaginas, also.
What about all those irresponsible families, huh B?
Great. Save 2k on the refinance of the mortgage, but it cost 6 k to do the paperwork
Announce nationalizing the banks pleeeeeeze…
Sen. Shelby won’t look at Hopey because he didn’t bring his birth certificate.
Geitner and Clinton look like the most uncomfortable married couple in America.
Chris Dodd is ancient.
Once I nationalize all the banks, they will be held accountable to Joe.
And, a shot of that sourpuss Joe Lieberman. Turd
I missed that. Ew, Leiberman! MY DICK JUST FELL OFF.
Lieberman looks as repulsive as he is.
Hang a banker now!
Awwww, bipartisan clap. Closeup on Joe “still a virgin” Lieberman
Just grab 2 magazine renewal cards and 2 little pieces of tape and place over Joe and Nancy. It works. i’m not kidding.
NO MORE FANCY DRAPES? WTF?
FUCK YEAH! Sheriff Barry is regulatin’, bitchezzz!
CEOs! FTL!
wow, everyone applauded the “hold banks accountable” line. even republicans hate the bankers!!
wheeee, let’s sure hope it didn’t look like this at the start of the weimar republic
[re=251168]irativ[/re]: [re=251168]irativ[/re]: that’s not even a bet. It’s like the sun coming up in the morning.
No fancy drapes for you, richy-rich.
Also
EWW they just showed Lieberman
leebermon was having trouble keeping his alien lizard tongue in his mouth. hunger or desire for obama-flesh?
Lemon-face Joe! Fuck you!
Ha ha, Lieberman is clapping like someone (Rahm) has a gun to his head.
“fancy grapes”: urban dictionary says, “special cocaine imported from Chimaya, Peru”
Fuck you Liebermann
CNN.com cut to Lieberman — he looked like someone shoved a lemon up his ass.
Eeew, closeups of Lieberman, chewing his weasel ratlips. His beady eyes are actually glowing red.
Oh, DRAPES. LOL. thought he said grapes.
The repugs have to stand up when he talks about putting it to CEOs.
Is Lieberman sucking on a lozenge?
Aw snap, don’t mess wit Barry ‘less you wants to get served, biatch!
http://democralypsenow.blogspot.com/2009/02/who-needs-action-when-youve-got-words.html
It’s refreshing to hear a fucking GROWNUP in this context.
The days of running off in private jets and limosines are over
I guess there will be a run on taxicabs in front of the Capitol building tonight
Riots, people!!!!!!!!!!!
Ken, that bit on Marketplace was interesting. The vouchers to Wall Street that can only be used for lending, yes?
That little Asian man next to Leahy is adorable.
Ah Burris. Enjoy while you can. Enjoy it while you can.
BURRIS!
“Help me help you. Help ME help YOU. HELP ME HELP YOU!”
Aww, dammit, sounds like he’s going to let the bankers live. And I had my pitchfork all nice and sharpened already.
He’s got this cute little friendly tone. Carrot Barry.
I thought he said fancy grapes??? All “Oregon wines”.
Jeeze, this is interesting: the MSNBC audience reaction line shows McCain voters pretty consistently giving Barry more love than Obama voters.
“it’s not about helping banks, it’s about helping people”
unless, of course, those people work at banks. because people who work at banks AREN’T PEOPLE suckah!!!!
Republicans only pretend to hate bankers in public.
When they’re alone together they roll around naked in large piles of currency
[re=251194]Mustang[/re]: You just solved SOME kind of crisis right there.
That was an amazing chain of syllogisms Barry just pulled off. The value of a legal education…
Suck on that Lou Gramm
Don’t ASK them to join you, Barry. Tell those little bitches whose boss!
You all are about to be regulated.
The Dems cheer so exuberantly because they want to rub salt in Repug. wounds. Good for the Dems.
Rs a little slower on their feet for regulations.
G-d I hate that craven, denture=sucking f&%k Lieberman.
they should not hand out Playbills to the retards in the chamber. it gives them an excuse to check the blackberry. no pun.
HDTV is not kind to Mr. Rangel
Even the Republicans are applauding regulatory reform? The age of laissez-faire capitalism really is over.
cantor was pining!
Eric Cantor sucks monkey nutz
Rangel…thinking: Sausage.
[re=251198]bookish_lesbian[/re]: Depends on what type of bankers:
Bankers for the unions and 401Ks (i.e. sitibank, BoA)
Bankers for the rich guys, congress and presidents (i.e. Morgan, Chase)
Cantor looks like he’s touching himself.
Oh, and we also inherited a few dozen bottles of vodka under the oval office desk…
I hope Barry’s “vision for America” includes roads paved with mangled hedge-fund managers.
[re=251230]hockeymom[/re]: Isn’t the 2nd Amendment about a well regulating market?
“the stark reality of what we’ve inherited…”
I wonder if Dubya’s watching this now. Nah, he’ll just ignore the executive summary tomorrow morning.
Pete Orzag is sitting next to Rahm after he read about Rahm’s heroics at the movies the other night. (Man, the CoS has time for the movies?)
Hahah….someone was playing with their jowls.
[re=251234]mirrorball[/re]: To be said…SDTV isn’t kind to him either…neither is radio.
Catalyzed? Uh oh, I didn’t know there was going to be chemistry on this.
Oh, show the Asian guy.
Talk menacingly about China… and camera pans to Asian dude. NICE.
[re=251234]mirrorball[/re]: Charlie literally slack-jawed. Poor slumlord.
[re=251235]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Hunker down, Sayit. The new day is dawning. In about a year, the Rupugs are going to be running scared.
no more batteries from Korea.
Aw, Republicans are so cute when they play along, you guys.
Love the bipartisan camerawork.

Climate Change.
Haven’t heard that in about 8 years.

An imaginary auto industry. Sounds good to me. Have the unicorn cars assembled by the tooth fairy.
[re=251223]WadISay[/re]: Yeah, are these McCain voters feeling a thrill up their legs? What the heck is going on?
health care…not so exciting to the congress critters.
Hillarycare!
I thought the car was invented in Germany…
And, before I go…don’t forget, we are fighting a war on two fronts, drugs are killing our national pastime, we still don’t have a CIA director and I am outa here…
New liveblog.
Bring Peppermint Patties back to the US.

Hey if Obama is getting laid tonight shouldn’t he allow cameras in. He did say he would allow transparency.
And don’t think that I am the only one that wants to see how he gets down.
Not for nut, but there’s a little too much caboose on the loose in that row. I’m holding out for Miss Halle Berry myself. As long as you ain’t gettin’ it, ain’t get it good! You dig?
Dur fitte munh, Piyush!
God, last night I could not remember Lieberman’s name! Am I getting old, or is he getting more irrelevant?
[re=251041]notapipe[/re]: He looks creepy. I kept wondering when the Secret Service was going to pounce on him.
I liked Obama’s speech, I thought that it addressed what it needed to and lay forward priorities and morals, which is the first step towards solutions. I feel really inspired about is when he talks about energy and infrastructure. I’m really glad he’s finally taking Dean Baker’s advice (most eloquently written in “From Financial Crisis to Opportunity” in the book Thinking Big) and STOPPING the tax breaks for corporations that send their jobs overseas!!!
I was not able to say this last night because of the drunkenness, but the Blingee collection assembled for this event was truly, truly magnificent. SEVEN whore diamonds. I salute thee, Wonkette.
