| quote: | IDIOCY WATCH.... In 2009, three Americans were detained and imprisoned by the Iranian government while hiking near the Iran/Iraq border. Two of the three -- Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer -- remain behind bars, accused of espionage.
The United States, of course, wants Iran to set them free, and this morning, the State Department's Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Philip Crowley used Twitter to send a sardonic message to the Iranian president: "Happy birthday President Ahmadinejad. Celebrate by sending Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer home. What a gift that would be.... Your 54th year was full of lost opportunities. Hope in your 55th year you will open Iran to a different relationship with the world."
Former half-term Gov. Sarah Palin (R) apparently only read the first four words, doesn't know what sardonic humor is, and responded with a Twitter message that's so blisteringly stupid, I almost wonder if someone else posted it to make her look like an idiot. The tweet read:
"Happy B'Day Ahmadinejad wish sent by US Govt. Mind boggling foreign policy: kowtow & coddle enemies; snub allies. Obama Doctrine is nonsense"*
I'd swear she's getting dumber.
Honestly, how could anyone above the age of 12 look at Philip Crowley's messages and interpret them as "coddling enemies"?
* Update: I wondered if Palin, embarrassed, might pull the item down once she realized how ridiculous it was. Alas, she doubled down with yet another tweet: "Americans awaken 2 bizarre natl security thinking of Obama Admn: Ahmadinejad b'day greeting after call 4 Israel's destruction speaks volumes."
Actually, Palin's inability to read at a junior-high-school level is what speaks volumes.

:wtf:
"Sardonic" is one of those fancy-pants concepts you get from college and book-larnin'. Reg'lar folks don't need none of it.
Remember: we need a commander in chief, not a professor of law at the lectern! |

Paul Ryan, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Chris Christie, Mike Pence- those are just a few of the real emerging leaders who CAN/WILL develop the fixes (Paul Ryan's roadmap to balancing the budget is solid). Now with a House majority, their suggestions will be forced to be considered, and they'll have the votes thanks to the tea party candidates.

OK i dont know about every name you mentioned, its not my government after all but what i do remember is Jindal bitching about how the terrible obama did the bailout (bush did it but lets forget that important piece of imformation...who cares about a measly 700b anyway), then taking the said money and brag about how he got it from washington. Yeah, a reaaaal fiscal conservative. Rubio wants to deport eveyone who doesnt agree with him (which means of curse that they really hate america), olberman is on the top 3 of the people on the list that would be thrown out if the guy had his way, and the Christie guy...oh yeah hes a real good one. ing up a simple application for some desperately needed money for his schools due to his incompetence, then bitching about the government on every media available that they should just give him the money anyway, even though because of his sheer incompetence the state doesnt qualify for said money any more.
Yeah fine examples you gave us of REAL leaders.
I will have to read up on Ryan since i cant remember anything nasty being said about him, but since hes a republican its a safe bet that his plan to get the budget balanced includes some sort of a tax break fro the upper few percent and corporations. If i see any inkling of that when i read up about him im calling him (and you, since you said that his plan is solid) epic idiots. |

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was
tragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the
entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem.
We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator..
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups.
What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he
goes down, down, down to hell.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green
golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all
his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet
him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting
rich at the expense of the people.
They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy
who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.
They are all having such a good time that before the Senator
realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the
elevator rises...
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven
where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven.."
So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of
contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a
good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter
returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven.
Now choose your eternity."
The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers:
"Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell..
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered
with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the
trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was
here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar,
drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full
of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning ...
Today, you voted…"

You really aren't from here, and that's obvious from your lack of knowledge on the people I mentioned, and major misrepresentation of the so-called "non-leader" like things they supposedly did. If you really want factual information that rebuts your ridiculous statements, I'll get them to you. "Rubio wants to deport everyone who doesn't agree with him"... dude, seriously? You sound like you're just parroting Olbermann now.

What? All I'm telling him is that I can easily prove to him that his statements about the people he admittedly doesn't know much about are wrong, and if he would like evidence to this I can provide it. Dude get a ing LIFE. |

When aren't political slogans vacuous? They serve to capture an emotion, not describe policies. I don't claim to know any slogans more than 20 years old, but those I do fall into this description. |

no sir. that tone is reserved specifically for Nou in direct response to his immature ad hominem style of trying to denigrate me personally any chance he gets. there's a history that you maybe aren't aware of. go back and read the dialogue between PKC and I... he is respectful in his disagreement as am I to him in rebuttal.
EDIT: oops... I thought you were writing that to me, not Nou. I see that you see his childish behavior too. :p |
