Constant, manufactured outrage.
That's all the so called MSM do.

And the Repuke obstructionists. They can dish it out but they can't take it.

They don't like anything the new administration does, and I'm glad Obama is not taking any crap off of them.

They called Adlai Stevenson an "egghead" back in the 1950s because he was intelligent.

They hated Al Gore.

They called Bill Clinton a redneck Bubba, and he could talk and think circles around them. That's why they still hate Bill and Hillary. They are damn smart people and never lose their temper.

They hate intelligence, they hate education, they hate competence, they hate meritocracy.

They hate diversity, they hate even-temperedness.

Obama and his wife stand for everything they cannot stand.

So fuck 'em and the horses they rode in on.......

If they had done their job for the past eight years, they wouldn't look so stupid.

They scream and yell like three year olds. ALl they can do is scream and call people names.

(see this week's New Yorker cover)

Call the WAAAHHHHMMMMBulance!!!

3. He's certainly got his definition ducks in a row, but I prefer POUTRAGE.
To me, the word really fits the whole spectacle of the whining and shrieking, together, I'm seeing of late.

5. Cry Babies
All of them! Nothing positive or concrete to offer as alternatives.

7. It's just their Mindset
That's ALL they got. They don't have ideas, they don't offer solutions.

And the MSM only attacks when Dems are in control, when the repubs are in power it's like a four year vacation.

They did this to Jimmy Carter, joked about his sweaters, his quote about lusting in his heart, and the "hostage crisis" at the end of his admin.

Raygun and Poppy pretty much got a free ride even though they had some VERY serious crimes and cover-ups.

Clinton had to deal with it from the first moments he took office and it only escalated from there, on a daily basis.

Jr. and Dick got a FREE PASS.

And now they have decided they are gonna hold Obama's "Feet to the Fire" because as they claim they let Jr. and Dick off the hook, and were too busy roasting winnies to hold anyone in the previous MisAdmins "Feet to the Fire."

8. Yes, yesterday afternoon they tried their little whorish little souls attempting to stir up sympathy
for the POOR AIG executives who were getting threatening email. That orchestrated effort fell on deaf ears. :eyes:

9. Thanks, people!!
The first Repuke I heard my mom cuss, back when I was a kid, was a guy with four names.

His name was "That Bastard Richard Nixon".

She ranted about how he smeared Helen Gahagan Douglas by calling her a pink lady (commie) back in 1948 or 50.

Smear, Smear, Smear.....no ideas, just lies.
