DISQUS

AMERICAblog: Gramm stands by "whiners" remark; McCain claims Gramm, the guy he has speak for him publicly, doesn't speak for him. Huh?

    Understand Chris? Welcome to the world of McCrazy. This election will show what Americans are made of, if this election is even close I think we are doomed as a nation, too many dumbasses.

    Rab this is exactly what I have been screaming since 2000. Look, Al Gore was lackluster that year. And Nader was a mistake. But to let this Chimp have two terms after what he'd pulled...if America is unhappy then they should only look in the mirror. If people were really informed and reading and studying what is happening, Obama would landslide over Grandpa Feeding Tube.

    Guys, the dumbass has reached critical mass now. It's over. People don't want to think beyond basic survival mechanisms. There was a guy in line for the cheap gas promotional yesterday who had been in line for 8 hours. I've already mentioned the woman there in the big yellow Hummer. Not the slightest clue.

    Immediate basic survival mechanisms.

    And worse these same little assholes will rush home so they can vote on
    "America's Got Talent" and never read or hear any news or blogs or any
    information that affects their lives. The Corporate MSM has them right where
    they want them...young, dumb and fulla cum

    B-b-but! Dr. Gramm earned his Ph.D in economics at the age of 25! He's a genius! A WHIZ KID! Why aren't we listening to him? McCain needs this genius, since he himself said he didn't know anything about economics. (Disregard the notion that he sat out the Viet Nam War on college deferments--he got a Ph.D in economics at the age of 25! )

    Yeah, would you want this "doctor" to examine you? The only thing he'd do is pick your pockets...

    I just hate it when someone like that uses the title "doctor"--that practice should be stopped--it's an old medieval custom of conferring "status" on people who lingered at university (usually gotten in through pull with royalty and the landed gentry whom they served) and not applied to practitioners of the medical "arts", generally barbers, a lowly breed, and before medical training was institutionalized. Modern usage of the word "doctor" for most people means someone who practices medicine, not someone who gets an advanced degree in a fuzzy, soft science like economics. Or Russian studies. Sometimes tradition just gets carried too far or should be entirely abandoned. And if people want to put Ph.D on their business cards and resumes, fine.

    Philly put this problem in motion when he was in the senate. He is retarded. Hell yeah we are all upset, food,gas,housing etc keeps going up up up. He could care less because the crook left the senate a millionaire. Whiner Hell Yeah. What a boob

    But it's so easy to dismiss Americans "whiners" when you're basically a greedhead who doesn't mind working for a foreign company in order to make millions--what did Gramm think this would make him, a sophisticated old money European elitist? He really didn't have to get hired on by UBS to get the elitist title...

    What a simpleton, Ph.D or no Ph.D...

    I'm confident that the whole episode makes perfect sense to Republicans. That's why there's a problem.

    Well, I have to agree with Graham here but differently. This is a country of infants. And you think it's bad now with the irrationality, just wait. You all need to be preparing because those infants will go haywire when deprivation sets in.

    When they can't afford to eat or drive they will start burning things down. It will start with gas stations and end with state capitals.

    Truth, the new neofungible currency.
    The Morning' Blow interview with Vincent Bugliosi on his new book "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder" around 8:40am was a case in point.
    Fav part when Joe, stuck on WMD and unconcerned regarding 'threat imminence' stretches his arms wide (ala Jesus on the cross) and plaintively asks Vince about the war instigation, 'What lie???"
    Also, CNN's dumb morning John, this am regarding the photoshopped missiles they've been screaming about for 2 days, asks the Pentagon reporter, "Where did the pictures come from?"
    A good question one might imagine CNN executives asking themselves prior to the original psychological operation, er, broadcast.

    Do any of you actually grasp what they're going to do when the economy begins to go down? If there's another Great Depression worse than the first, what the fuck do you think they're going to do? Fucking pull together? THINK ABOUT IT!!

    Guns in homes? Yes! (Protection from.) Concealed weapons in airports? Please. (Protect me from.)

    I used to worry that airport lounges held cultish Hari Krishnas and the mettlesome racket of their chants. Now I'm afraid of the brutish, hairy kitsch of cowboys and the full mettle jackets in their pants.

    I still remember hearing Phil Gramm when he first became known. That was back when I lived in Dallas for 32 years and got wiser and moved to Oregon. His election ads were so "Texas Cute"... back then. He would say "My Momma said/ told me/" this and that. I thought he was corny. HE STILL IS!!!!!
