Holy crap! How did DU miss Fidgetgate??!!??

[mrreowwr_kittty]

I just learned on Hardball that Barack Obama went on The View and he fidgeted!! They showed the devastating footage. Yes indeed, Barack clearly couldn't sit still on the couch. And it gets so much worse from there: Apparently late night talk shows were making fun of the fidgeting and McCain imitated him doing it when he was on the show today.

WTF??!? Why haven't there been 8 freaking thousand dupe threads on GD-P about how his inability to sit still PROVES that Obama is shifty? Or something.

Anyway, I just wanted to point out that it's a sad day on DU when a trivial issue that the MSM has nonetheless breathlessly reported on is not reported with equal breathless fervor here.

You're slipping, GD-P.

Oh and one more thing, how come 'WTF' and 'MSM' aren't in spellcheck? :shrug:

1. They showed that again? The View was a week ago.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. Cuz McCain was on it today and made fun of Obama.

Thus allowing them to milk it again.

[Life Long Dem]

22. fidgetgate is a good one!

[dbonds]

3. Fidgetting is all they could come up with.

They didn't notice that one of his shoes was tied a little left of center. Egads, think of the horrors if that broke.

[stellanoir]

4. Could he be guilty of. . . a vitamin B deficiency . . .?

e-gads.

I hadn't heard of this and really don't care.

5. I thought it was funny the way Leno presented it.

He was very concerned with that crease in his pants. :)

[FrenchieCat]

13. I think it was the socks, and not wanting the straight leg pants to

inch up his leg on that awkward ass couch made for smaller people (which is why McCain looked real comfy; he's 5'7").

Obama is a bit metro in that sense....which is a good thing! My hubby is that way, and men who take pride in how they are perceived are more in touch with themselves....meaning they usually don't vote for wars that don't need to be fought and they normally never ever warmong! :)

[Catherine Vincent]

18. "which is why McCain looked real comfy; he's 5'7"

LOL!

[babylonsister]

6. Didn't Letterman have a skit about this-last week?

No originality anymore. It's so so sad. :cry:

[MarjorieG]

7. After initial fidget, the ladies were VERY receptive. He was calm and friendly.

[GarbagemanLB]

8. He hit that interview out of the park.

[Cooley Hurd]

9. Maybe his butt itched?

What... your butt has never itched?:D

[mrreowwr_kittty]

11. Reminds me of the ancient proverb we repeated as children

He who go to bed with itchy butt wake up with smelly fingers.

[Cooley Hurd]

*rimshot*

:D

Even "rimshot" is a nasty pun...:D

[FlyingSquirrel]

10. You use spellcheck?

Maks no sense to me. Waste of timme.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

12. I was unsure about 'fidgeted' and 'fidgeting'.

One T.

[FlyingSquirrel]

14. I was just jokin'. By the way, you spelled 'catburglar' wrong

;)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

16. Nuh uh

I can haz spelchek. Y sai u kitteh kant spel?



All yr DU lolcats R belong to us.

[Clintonista2]

15. Why? Because we leave the "No-one-gives-a-shit"-gates to Obama supporters.

[Blue-Jay]

17. Well said, Sweetie.

[Clintonista2]

20. thanks hun

[Blue-Jay]

27. .

:rofl:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

21. Did Ignore say something?

Too bad I'm missing whatever pearl of profundity it undoubtedly was.

[walldude]

29. Right, it was Obama supporters who reported on

Wright gate, bowling gate, misogynist gate, Michelle gate, stuff gate, and I believe today's "gate" was Brutha gate, reported by a responsible Hillary supporter who used the National Review Editorial page to state their claim.

Yeah you Hillary supporters are just saints.

[LisaM]

30. Ha ha ha ha ha

That just made my day. Thank you!

[PVnRT]

33. Feel that? The wind is from the joke blowing past you.

[SoFlaJet]

19. Does anybody remember the old Our Gang/Little Rascals show?

when the midget bank robber was pretending he was a baby and Stymie said "he ain't a baby he's a fidget"

[pansypoo53219]

23. that would require watching

that inane show. i refuse.

[SoFlaJet]

25. is it still on where you live pansypoo?

could you DVR....ah never mind

[RememberWellstone]

24. Got a youtube link?

Would like to see it.

[SoFlaJet]

26. only the one

that runs in my childhood memory RW...

[monmouth]

31. It was a fav of mine too but Bill Cosby bought all of the rights to the

rascals because the AA children were not portrayed correctly.....

[SoFlaJet]

32. hmmm....

I didn't know that...I used to love The Little Rascals when I was a kid

[monmouth]

34. Me too. I would stop housework, etc. when the kids had it on and

would join them to watch it. I would give them tidbits about the characters and what happened to them....Spanky was a car dealer, etc.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

36. And when you do I expect a fullblown expose' in GD-P about it.

I know you've got it in you!

[WillyT]

28. It Sort Of All Equals Out... With Hillary's Restless Legacy Syndrome

:evilgrin:

[K Gardner]

37. OMG ! That's hiliarious !

[Symarip]

35. I don't know what a fidget is but I know

I don't want my president having a part of it.

I'm voting for McCain. Screw the pony.
