    Plouffe’s pretty nerdy. I picture him wearing a helmet riding a Segway.

  2. chascates says at 4:15 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Limbaugh figured out that having some -exs gives more ‘hetero’ cred and Matty isn’t up to that challenge.

  3. The Cold Sea says at 4:16 pm, April 21st, 2009

    “In an interview on FOX News, the Vietnam veteran and former Republican presidential candidate said the Obama administration owes veterans an apology after releasing a report last week suggesting that members of the military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan could fall victim to “right-wing extremism.”

    Timothee Micvay.

    You’ve an extra “of” in your last headline, Juli.

  5. chascates says at 4:16 pm, April 21st, 2009

    And why doesn’t McCain demand an apology from Limbaugh for saying that torture works because the VC ‘broke’ him?

  6. SayItWithWookies says at 4:20 pm, April 21st, 2009

    [Drudge has] deliberately chosen his hermetic existence because he wants to hide his personal proclivities from the world.

    Or else it’s just too damn uncomfortable to go out in two layers of wetsuits and god knows what else is going on underneath them.

  7. Serolf Divad says at 4:30 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Please read the following with a heavy Germanic, movie-villain accent of some sort:

    I am afraid Senator McCain, zat you are in no position to demand anisink.

  8. Country Club Jihadi says at 4:31 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Doesn’t the douchebag kid of the Sultan of Brunei buy celebrities to come to his parties? Bill should call him and get this over with.

  9. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:33 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Heh. The comments at CNN Ticker at running 1% YAY McCain and 99.999999999% Shut Up and Blow It Out Your Ass, You Geriatric Goat Fucker.

  10. The Cold Sea: I’ll see your McVeigh, and raise you a Lee Harvey Oswald and a James Earl Ray.

  11. proudgrampa says at 4:35 pm, April 21st, 2009

    “Timothy McVeigh didn’t learn to make that huge bomb while he was in the military,” McCain said. “He learned it afterwards. So to point out one veteran who committed an act of atrocity I think is outrageous. And as a veteran and having thousands and thousands of friends of mine who are fellow veterans, I think a real apology is owed throughout the administration.”

    The point of the entire report was that veterans coming home might be targets of extremist groups.

    So, John, I’m sorry that you took offense to this. But you don’t know what you’re talking about.

    Please, please GO AWAY. And take Meghan with you!!

  12. President Beeblebrox says at 4:36 pm, April 21st, 2009

    “And by the way, after the Vietnam War, for years there was this portrayal of the Vietnam veteran as crazed…”

    …which wasn’t justified at all by the 2008 Presidential campaign of a certain Arizonan Vietnam vet known to stick out his tongue & bug his eyes out during nationally televised debates, say HENNGH like a syphilis-ridden billionaire, and spaz out at random reporters.

    Just sayin’.

  13. Bearbloke says at 4:36 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Waaaayyyyyy OFF TOPIC but potentially very useful to you:

    My Senior-Bear is assisting me in my office today, helping me draw up my business budget-projections for 2H09. He looked at my credit card statements, and suggested I call CitiBank to ask for credit card rate reductions. I did so during the past hour, and each time they quickly (and politely!) said Yes! for 3 of my 4 Business & Personal cards (they said they had nothing lower than the 7.25% I’m getting on a personal card)… so, if you have CitiBank cards, maybe you might wanna call them today and see if they’ll drop your rates. Don’t be shy either, just ask if they’ll do it for you - you have nothing at all to lose.

    BTW - this is in NO WAY a commercial for CitiBank - I’m just so thrilled to screw those EVIL FUCKS outta some of my hard-earned trucknutz munnys that I thought all us Hawt Libtard Chicks throughout the Wonketteverse might wanna take a swing at the piñata! ONWARD TO PLUNDER!!!!

  14. dave666 says at 4:43 pm, April 21st, 2009

    credit card interest is only a problem if you intend on paying them back.

  15. InsidiousTuna says at 4:43 pm, April 21st, 2009

    I drive a Fusion, but at least it ain’t one a’ them gay Hybrids.

  16. ChernobylSoup says at 4:44 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Yeah, we veterans are smart as hell. I was in a class yesterday required for a concealed handgun permit (long story) and almost all of us in attendance were veterans. Things I learned from my fellow ex GIs:

    1) Hillary Clinton is dead set on taking our guns (not sure how this falls under SecState duties, but whatever)
    2) Every white American is being stalked by someone of color.
    3) It is un-American to teach your kids that guns can be bad… you must teach the children to HONOR guns.
    4) Girls can have guns too! Really! If they want them. It’s really not THAT wierd.

  17. McDuff says at 4:45 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Drudge: “I do not love sex with men.”

    Like Bill Clinton and his “I did not have sex with that woman” statement, by which he really meant “I didn’t have actual intercourse but was only serviced orally and/or manually,” Drudge has used phrasing that leaves open a number of possibilities, including (1) He has sex with men, but hates himself in the morning, (2) he only LIKES sex with men, (3) he has sex with males under 18, or (4) he is able to deny to himself that he has sex with men by making his partners put on an Ann Coulter mask while he pretends he’s Michele Malkin.

  18. chascates says at 4:48 pm, April 21st, 2009

    ChernobylSoup: Texas now has a long waiting list for CCW because of the demand. Between the socialist muslin prez and the illegals flowing into the country . . .

  19. Bearbloke says at 4:53 pm, April 21st, 2009

    McDuff: Which one is Rat Sludge again? - is he Ann Coulter (TV/TS) or Michele Malkin (Filipino Lady-boy)?

  20. The Cold Sea says at 4:54 pm, April 21st, 2009

    dave666: Win.

  21. Bearbloke says at 4:55 pm, April 21st, 2009

    McDuff: “I do not love sex with men.”

    “I LURVE sex with men.”

    /fixed

  22. McDuff says at 4:59 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Bearbloke: Drudge wears the Malkin mask. Sorry if my pronouns were not clear.

  23. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 5:01 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Ye gods. It bears repeating that there are certain people we dicksmokers would categorically NOT want in our ranks. And yes, I’m looking at you, Drudgey-boy.

  24. wheelie says at 5:29 pm, April 21st, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: Amen, from the queer over here.

  25. peorgietirebiter says at 5:43 pm, April 21st, 2009

    “The last people on earth we need to worry about are our veterans,” McCain said.

    I guess that explains; the body armor shortage, Hummers shipped with the “sports” package and soldiers bunking with rats at Walter Reid’s summer overflow quarters.

  26. peorgietirebiter says at 5:48 pm, April 21st, 2009

    “three head shots on a moving target from over a hundred yards in just under 4 seconds.”

    “…and what did Charles Lee Harvey Oswald and Charles Whitman have in common?”

    “sir, they Marines, sir!”

  27. Fivetree says at 5:51 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Bearbloke: “I LOAVE sex with men.”

  28. Spiderfrommars says at 6:00 pm, April 21st, 2009

    queeraselvis v 2.0: wheelie: So the breeders get him? I don’t THINK so!

  29. glamourdammerung says at 6:11 pm, April 21st, 2009

    When McCain can get his apology (for his poor reading comprehension) sometime after he apologizes for collaborating the Vietnamese.

  30. Accordion-o-rama says at 6:27 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Matt Drudge is the Lindberg baby!

  31. Georgia Burning says at 6:29 pm, April 21st, 2009

    ChernobylSoup: What’s the SPN code on a DD-214 (service record) for “bat-shit crazy”

    Also, as long as Obama is declassifying things, how about those tapes of McCain confessing to practically everything to the North Vietnamese?

  32. chascates says at 6:52 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Georgia Burning: I’d like to see the records stating how someone who finishes so low at the Academy gets flight training. Unless his father and grandfather are admirals.

  33. NoSoupForYou says at 6:56 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Uh yeah, I’m sure Barry will get right on that. Right after McWhoremonger apologizes for Caribou Barbie, the five Navy jets he slammed into the ground, having tea with the VietCong, Vicki Iseman, and the crippled wife and children he left behind to shack up with a drug-addicted rich-girl half his age. In fact, I’ll bet Barry’s working on a draft as I type…goes something like, “Uh, John. Kiss my ass”.

  34. hobospacejunkie says at 9:15 pm, April 21st, 2009

    Serolf Divad: Please read the following with a heavy Germanic, movie-villain accent of some sort

    Like the fish on American Dad. He is my default villainous german accent. In my mind.

  35. hobospacejunkie says at 9:30 pm, April 21st, 2009

    The real reason WALNUTS! wants to be senator until he dies is so he can keep the lid on all the incriminating documents about him & the Vietcong. After he’s burning in hell then it’s up to Megh to continue the cover-up. So all her twattingis just a brilliant feint to make us pay attention to her & forget about ever learning more about WALNUTS! and the reasons he was so dismissive of the POW/MIA group of folks.

    Also. Trucknutz. Drudge is/isn’t a homo.

  36. Lazy Media says at 1:14 am, April 22nd, 2009

    NoSoupForYou: FOUR Navy jets he slammed in the ground. One of ‘em, on the Forrestal, he was just sitting in, minding his own bidness, when a stray rocket went off from one of the other planes. He gets a pass on that one. So he only owes us for four; and you could charge the Vietnamese for half of one of those.

    So, Walnuts, get Cindy to write a check for 3.5 Navy planes, or STFU.

  37. Carrie_Okie says at 8:53 am, April 22nd, 2009

    Has McCain apologized to dead Timmy McVeigh or Terry Nichols? ok, then. suckit GRAMPS.
