1 It sounds a lot like a crime occurred and the Felon in Chief is getting away with it.

Would you expect anything else from these hoodlums?

2 I hope someone is keeping track of all this shit, so we can put many of these liberal/prog. thugs in jail in the future!

I'd also like to see Grassley, was it Grassley?, follow up on his promise to stop all those deals made for votes on HCR, e.g., the deals with Nelson, Landrieu, Lincoln, etc.

4 I didn't notice shouts of USA at the douche's weak speech at West Point, as they were for W.

5 The Zero was breaking the law when he accepted CC donations from anywhere in the world.

Anything happen with that?

6 O/T: Today is special election day in Hawaii.

7 When Nixon did this, it was called "STONEWALLING".
And ALL the press was INTERESTED.  Not so much now.  For some reason.

Obviously not. 

Love the compilation, especially with Sestak saying over and over "I answered it honestly". 

9 We need to win the House, then we can really investigate.

Bring in the czars.

10

This entire administration is a criminal activity.

Do you think they get all of the staff together and see what they can get away with on that particular day?

11 This is the mandatory "hey Gabe, what about Rand Paul" comment.

12

So why isn't every republican politician and the GOP and conservative media bearing down on this with the concerted intensity that the liberals did on "Plamegate," WMD, Niger SOTU speech, or any of the dozens of strawmen BS issues they tried to hang on Bush?

This is what pisses me off about republicans and the establishment GOP. They're fretting about Rand Paul while provable felonies go on in front of their eyes. Pathetic self-loathing imbeciles.

13

This is what pisses me off about republicans and the establishment GOP.

They don't want to risk losing those minority votes they are never going to get.

14 It sounds a lot like a crime occurred and the Felon in Chief is getting away with it.

Correct on both scores.  It will also be correct when it becomes past tense. The only way this will ever be brought out into thew open and litigated will be if the Republicans take back everything and grow some balls.

The earliest that will occur is 2013 and by then it will be forgotten. 

15 This is the mandatory "hey Gabe, what about Rand Paul" comment.

What about him? Last I heard, he became only the third person in the show's 50ish year history to cancel a planned appearance on Meet the Press. Guess he figured out the media was done throwing softballs to him now that he's running as a Republican and not a harmless libertarian.

16 Aren't they attempting to put that guy withe the bgi hair who was on the trump show in jail for something similar?

17 3
I'd also like to see Grassley, was it Grassley?, follow up on his promise to stop all those deals made for votes on HCR, e.g., the deals with Nelson, Landrieu, Lincoln, etc.

Grassley is a fucking drooling imbecile that doesn't know what day of the week it is. I shudder when I see him being interviewed. He needs to pack it in and retire to a remote lake somewhere.

18 And that must sting for libertarians who supported him, thinking he'd unashamedly give a full-throated defense of their views. Ooops.

19

Where did you hear that? Seems a little low, no?

20 I wish Issa was on Shore Bank trail...that has real potential.

Issa is an Arab and I always wonder what is game?  To watch one hand while the big crime gets cover?

21 So Kudlow who works for GE (CNBC) is trashing BP for trading with Iran and trashing congress for not mentioning it so far in the twenty committee hearings that BP is required to attend.  Guess GE is no longer trading with Iran but they traded for quite a while after it was revealed they were doing it.

22 HonestGate

23

>> Where did you hear that? Seems a little low, no?

What if he were the 357th guy to refuse?

Would it make a difference then?

24 Telling "Meet the Democrats" to lick dog poo is a badge of honor.

25

What if he were the 357th guy to refuse?

Would it make a difference then?

Of course it make a difference. Plus I'm curious if MTP has that kind of extraordinary cancellation rate. Just putting some numbers together: roughly 4900 shows, let's say an average of 2 guests/show, that's 9,800 guests.

And only three of the 9800 guests have canceled? That would be amazing.

26 Obama has a major advantage of being black (when he wants to be). He could murder someone on the White House lawn and still get away with it because the narrative of Republican racism and vast right wing conspiracies is already scripted by the deems and the MFN.

27 They need to fire Gibbs and bring in Bill Clinton.  He can at least lie through his teeth semi-convincingly.  Gibbs isn't clever enough to come up with a dodge for this. 

28 We're taking a wait-and-see approach to forming an opinion about Rand Paul. We'll know in a year if he is eccentric or a novice with good potential, providing, of course, that he can defeat his Democratic opponent, which still remains to be seen, also.

29

Perhaps he's been coached?

Conviction of ideals takes a back seat to actually accomplishing something.  Sad.

 

Just spitballin here.

 

30 Rand was right to cancel. Sarah Palin realized too late that the MSM was no friend to her. Paul got out quicker. He needs to stay local. Those in Kentucky are the ones that are going to vote for him.

31 Hi mainstream Republicans!11!!!!11. Let's all make PSAs with Pelosi instead of manning the barricades. Compromise!11!1!!11

32 It's not illegal when the President does it.  If he's a Democrat.

33

These assholes have no clue just how pissed off Americans, you know normal USA-loving Americans, are.

I received a DNC survery/donation requestion today in the mail.  They have no clue just how freaking pissed off centerist democrats/ex-democrats are.  And they were stupid enough to send me a pre-paid envelop.  I'm going to slap that pre-paid envelop to some phone books, rocks, etc, cost them beaucoup money!

34

I agree with Dr. Rand Pauls decision. I heard him on Laura Ingrahm's show, he has figured out quickly the liberal hyneans in the press will not give him a fair shot.

Don't know if you guys saw how he ripped apart George S on GM America, newbusters I think has that video.

In KY, that's where he needs to focus, Sarah Palin never stood a chance and she was attacked viciously. Good for Rand Paul in figuring this out.

and Good for Rand Paul for cancelling a show run by yet another fking liberal.  I am going to be donating to his campaign and send that receipt to the DNC.

35 3
I'd also like to see Grassley, was it Grassley?, follow up on his promise to stop all those deals made for votes on HCR, e.g., the deals with Nelson, Landrieu, Lincoln, etc.

It was Coburn, IIRC. Haven't heard anything more on that front.

36 Compromise with Progs on border security, financial regulation, health care and foreign policy is not only kind and loving, it fits in with mainstream GOP values. Mainstream GOP, now with 50% more feelings and empathy!111!111!!!! For me to poop on.

Screw Clinton, get Baghdad Bob, he's perfect for the job.

38
Okay, I traced back the claim that Rand Paul is only the third person to cancel an appearance on MTP to HuffPo. It's a big deal over there.

Turns out an MTP producer is quoted saying Paul will be the third person to cancel an appearance at the last minute.

So it's horseshit. And it's misleading. This is what's called embellishing.

39 Me too. I love mainstream Republican policy

41
By the time it's gets to The Daily Beast it's morphed into this: "On Friday, the embattled politician became the third person ever to cancel an appearance on Meet the Press."

Third person ever. Ever!

And they added embattled. Clarence Thomas just called me and said, "Damn, now that's a high-tech lynching."

42

huff-poop. 

I know many social liberals who are huge Ron Paul supporters, kinda scary, like a cult, stunningly, they were pretty pissed at Calderone chitting on American on American soil with the damn dems cheering them on. And they are pretty pissed at how Rand Paul are being treated.

Rand Paul needs to win in KY, he is leading about 25 points as of now, that is where he needs to focus, he need to stop going on these damn liberal "news" shows.  I don't understand, he never went on before, why the hell is going on now?  Its not like with Sarah Palin where she was running for VP, Rand Paul is running for senate seat in KY... he needs KY votes, do KY media... THAT'S IT.

Maybe do financial shows, but that's. Don't go on any damn liberal propoganda aka "news" show.

43
My dispute isn't with the fact Rand Paul weaseled out of going on MTP because he put himself in this jam -- we can all agree on that.

But the embellishment by the media to turn this into a huge Republican/Tea Party/Conservative scandal is obvious and it's disgusting. No need to parrot their propaganda.

44 What Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and ALL conservatives need to learn is to never appear on ANY MFM show unless it is either live OR they sign a contract saying that no editing will be done.

45
In other words, to put it simply, the media is using Rand Paul to attack us, all of us. Don't help them.

46 well, I went to his website to donate, looks like he's raised 60K in the last few days. Good for him.

47 47, or you have your own camera there too.

48 And BTW, MTP is now a full POS show. It has been fully subjugated into the NBC mold of masticating Obama balls.

49 #45Maybe do financial shows, but that's. Don't go on any damn liberal propoganda aka "news" show.

It's time the Republicans fought battles on their own terms, and not on the enemies' conditions.

50 I don't think the LSM has figured out that most Americans have figured them and their agenda out.

51

is MTP even on?  I thought it was cancelled.  They barely get 200K viewers.

 

52

What Rand Paul, Sarah Palin, and ALL conservatives need to learn is to never appear on ANY MFM show unless it is either live OR they sign a contract saying that no editing will be done.

Better yet, just bring in their own videographers and set their cameras up right next to the MFM cameras. That way, any _*ahem* creative editing can be pointed out.

53
If you're wondering who the other two cancellations were...

-the other two were Louis Farrakhan and Saudi Arabia's Prince Bandar.

hahaha, that's aimed directly at YOU and me. Rand Paul = Louis Farrakhan and some Saudi muslim who probably hates Joos and finances Al Qaeda.

54 54is MTP even on?  I thought it was cancelled.  They barely get 200K viewers.
"Meet the Press" fell to its second-lowest ratings under David Gregory this past Sunday.

The NBC Sunday show averaged just 2.57 million total viewers; it was enough to win first place, but also just a hair over Gregory's lowest total ever (June 21, 2009, when he averaged 2.56 million total viewers).

Not freaking linking it - it's from a HuffPo piece. 

55 OT, or not. Seems there is more than one rat in teh white house.

56

 That way, any _*ahem* creative editing can be pointed out on Youtube where it will get little to no mass exposure, except maybe a 5 minute blip on Fox.

FIFY

I donated some $$ his way, and found his campaign has a contact number, I sure will be calling on Monday and telling them, do not go on any of these chitty propoganda networks, they didn't go on thse shows during the primaries, and they sure as hell don't need to go on now.

And tell them, the propoganda liberal on these "news" stations want to use Rand to make an example of him, and rip him apart as a message to Tea Partier, he will not get a fair shot/ playing field.

5 months to go, just focus on KY media like they did during the primaries, after all they need KY voters, not some f*cking liberal propoganda's votes.

58
You know what's even better and cheaper and something all the Republicans should be doing?

Going to their own districts or states and holding townhall meetings with real  American people with real concerns and questions. Then putting the vids of the meetings on youtube and in tv campaign ads.


Forget the MFM. Take your case directly to the American people.

59

On Rand Paul canceling Meet da Press...

The MSM has lost the ability to build a candidate with their overplay on Obama (folks see the bias)... but they can still destroy a candidate.

Even third string players on the far left... it they can get that sound bite (like they did with Rand), will start off the RIGHTs circular firing squad.

He was smart to cancel going on a biased show.

60 And once again, another gay marriage piece by Gabriel Malor. What is that, seven in a row, now?

61 Republicans, the "something for nothing gang".  You guys want all these Federal Government services but dont want to pay for them.

The BP oil spill.....Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc whining about how badly the Obama is handling the oil spill...."where is Obama?"  "why isnt the federal government doing more" ....meanwhile at the political rally you guys are yelling "Abolish the department of Energy"  "Abolish the EPA"   "Leave private business alone!!!"

Hypocrites.  Pure and Simple.    Magical thinking "We want federal service but we don't want to pay for it"

62

But the embellishment by the media to turn this into a huge Republican/Tea Party/Conservative scandal is obvious and it's disgusting. No need to parrot their propaganda.

Except anyone with an ounce of brainpower would know that the MFM would behave this way after appearing on MSNBC and giving a non-PC answer regarding the Civil Rights Act.  He could have dodged the completely irrelevant question, but instead gave the MFM an opening that they predictibly exploited.

It doesn't matter even a little if he had a valid argument or that the MFM is being dishonest.  When an individual Republican is involved in a scandal- real or fabricated- it will be presented by the MFM as a Republican scandal.  When a Dem is involved in a scandal, it's either downplayed or portrayed as a personal issue in no way at all connected to the party at large.  And there is nothing we can do about it.

If Paul can't figure out what the average conservative blog reader already takes for granted, then it's a problem of his own making not just for himself but the Republican party.

Do we really want to nominate people who would so easily allow themselves to be outwitted by the predictable dimwits in the MFM?

63 You guys want all these Federal Government services but dont want to pay for them.

And by "all these ... services" you give one example. Magical thinking.

Hey dipshit, in case you havn't noticed we are already paying for it. Is it to much to ask for these asswipe democrats to do their fucking job now that they have our money?

That is why we want to get rid of your sorry asses, you don't do what we pay you for.

66
You guys want all these Federal Government services but dont want to pay for them.

Wow, you know us so well.

67

I will give Rand Paul credit, he figured this out very early -- I was listening to him on Laura Ingrahm's show where she takes him to task for being that stupid to go on MSN-bs.  Better for him to have figured it out now, then have done to him what was done to Sarah Palin.

68 Walter, I think you're a slightly confused troll.  You think that R's want all these govt services.  They don't.  What they are doing, and you may find this to be a bit unfair, is using Alinsky's Rules for Radicals - Hold your enemies to their own standards.

If D's think the president is responsible for oil spills and hurricanes and throwing money at Gulf states when the president is a Republican, then why don't they agree when the president is a Democrat?  That's the real message the R's are sending out, and people are receiving it loud and clear.

THERE's the real hypocrisy.

69

Right.  Because when we say we're for less spending, lower taxes and a smaller government, what we really mean is that we're anarchists who want no spending, no taxes, and no government.

Drat.  He's on to us guys.  We might as well just fold up shop now that we've been outed.

72 And I don't mind paying for it either!

73 So, regarding HonestGate, what did Easy Bake know and when did he know it?

74


yeah, and don't forget, Walter, we hypocrites want all that cheap labor to work in our big businesses (we all own a big business, you know) but we don't any illegal aliens!

75

You guys want all these Federal Government services but dont want to pay for them.

HELLLLL NOOOOO.  I don't want DeathCare, I don't more crap to fill out because of these damn "consumer protection agency", do you when know what the hell this will do?  There will even less credit lines for small busienesses like mine!  and do you even know what that means?  LESS JOBS, LESS HIRING.

and who pays for the this extra layer of beaurocraptic crap?  those of us who have to live off the government dole!

76 So, regarding HonestGate, what did Easy Bake know and when did he know it?

Exactly. I wonder whether troll Walter is at all concerned that his Marxist Messiah is actually a weaselly criminal fuckbucket.

77 Hey troll, I used to be a democrat for over 25 years.  I always considered myself a conservative.  There are republicans and then there are conservatives, they are not always the same.

78 *those of us who have to PAY for those who live off the govt dole

79 51- Walter, you forgot to put mainstream in there as the first word. Otherwise, ouch baby, very ouch

80

"a weaselly criminal fuckbucket"

Wow.  That's harsh. 

 

Funny, but harsh.

81 When is the next punch a liberal in the face day anyways?

82

Magical thinking "We want federal service but we don't want to pay for it"

Please allow me to clear up your fuzzy thinking for you.

What we don't want is bloated government agencies creating rules (which carry the full weight of laws) without citizen oversight or accountability. We don't want agencies restricting our access to our own natural resources (see the restrictions on oil drilling, which has forced companies to drill farther out to sea, pushing the envelope of safety). We don't want a government that is so big that it encroaches on individual liberties (do you think that forcing a citizen to buy the government's health insurance under penalty of jail is Constiutional?).

Most of these duties are rightfully the responsibilty of local governments. Washington has become too big and is working actively against the wishes of the people.

Magical thinking my ass.

83

Yes I think Rand Paul should be the issue, not a FELON in the White House.

Look over there, it's a flying pink Unicorn!!!!

Uhm.  What does any of that have to do with your boys being a bunch of criminals?

85
magical thinking? such as paying for all those govt pensions?

or thinking we can 'save' the planet with a new 'green' economy?

86 If the offer to Sestak was made without Easy Bake's knowledge, then Easy Bake is incompetent and his Administration is corrupt. If Easy Bake did know (and knowledge is approval), then both Easy Bake and his Administration are corrupt. The crime has already been established as fact, we just know all the details yet.

87

Walter, you're new here, aren't you? We're not like other sites like Huffpoo and the Kos kiddies where inane comments are SOP. We actually have these things called "facts" and deal with this thing called "reality".

Please to be looking up these words and their meanings to include in your next comments.

This has been a troll service announcement. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Do you LIBTARD FUCK TWATS not recognize DISHONESTY anymore?

89

Eman, how can a new Secretary of the Navy be picked without the Kenyan Kon-boy knowing?

90

The Sestak issue will go nowhere.  I don't think there is anything that anyone in this administration can do that they will get into trouble for.  'Laws' are for the sheeple doncha know.

91 Voters who thought that Obama's coming out of Chicago politics wasn't significant were idiots. Chicago/Illinois politicians really believe that if you win office you are entitled to use your position in any way that suits you. And the voters in Chicago consider this type of corruption routine.

They thrive on it, that's how they get elected. That's how they keep blacks and latinos locked in the ghetto so they can get their vote every couple of years. It's how they pass laws like the death care bill. They live for dishonesty.

Just ask them about their military service.

94

Chicago/Illinois politicians really believe that if you win office you are entitled to use your position in any way that suits you.

That applies to all Democrats.

95 Ya know, I am always amazed at the lack of prosecutorial oversight when this shit happens.

There are never investigations. Attorney General, MIA? Grand juries, MIA.

Obama made his statement when he got rid of that Inspector General who caught Obama's friend and Sactown Mayor stealing taxpayer dollars. Off with his head. And every chicken shit Fed employee took notice. Frozen in fear for the duration of this term.

96 Hmm, Gabe taking a claim on HuffPo at face value? Whodathunkit?

And what are the odds that we will ever fully know all the details, or that a senior Obama administration official will face serious legal or political consequences?

I figure the odds are about the same as the chance that Kate Beckinsdale will show up at my cubicle here at work with a cooler full of beer in one hand, a winning lottery ticket in the other, and an insatible desire to do the nasty on my supervisor's desk.

Obama and his cronies are Chicago politicians.  It's not a question whether they're corrupt or not, but rather how good they are at it.

What does the sausage guy have to do with this?

123  Rand made how many gaffes?

Err. That would be a "series of gaffes."

(1) CRA mis-fire.
(2) NAFTA superhighway.
(3) Alex Jones.
(4) Last-minute cancellation on MTP.

I'm betting that having to face those four issues this weekend was not how he'd hoped to begin the general election campaign. And for Kentucky Republicans, each of those things was avoidable...if Rand had enough message discipline to avoid the CRA misfire, not be an Alex Jones groupie, not be a conspiracy-theorist NAFTA-phobe, and not to have a reason to dodge a previously-scheduled morning interview program.

And, SantaRosaStan, my clipped response to you is because your overwrought "screwed the Pooch" (why capitalize Pooch, BTW?) comment is about an OT comment of mine. Not even a post, but a flippant comment in an unrelated thread wherein I allowed myself to be goaded into talking about Rand Paul again. And you're all "Oooooh, you screwed the Pooch." Yeah. *fap fap fap*

124 Good for Rand.  Appearing on an ideologically-opposed interview show where the host will treat you with respect and give you a fair shake?  Fine.  Answering good, tough questions are what a senate candidate should do.    Going on an MSNBC show that you know is going to be a hatchet-job designed to make you look like a horse's ass?  Forget it.

125 128, Interesting list.

126 (4) Last-minute cancellation on MTP. last minute, as in ... one minute before he was to appear? if not, then someone is spouting complete bullshit.

127 Ouch, baby. Very ouch.

128 Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that Representative Issa, who is pretty clearly a very smart guy, although also not precisely objectively independent on this subject, is correct that there is at least a concern of this happening, and that the same ought to be formally investigated. Who is the aggrieved complainant? Congressman Sestak would seem to have something to complain about; but he is not complaining, and there does not appear to be any reason to expect he will ever complain. Senator Specter is not complaining; nor would it appear has anything to complain about, except informally to the effect that any such bribe was insufficient to be effective. The Obama administration is not complaining, as a matter of course in this exercise. In the context of the criminal process, if someone in the administration, even the President, was in fact seeking deprive someone of "honest services", who precisely was that someone? If anyone's left to complain, at least in theory that would be the good voters of Pennsylvania, or perhaps even the American taxpayer, who, under the terms of the concern being articulated by Representative Issa, would have cause to complain only if government property was at least a component in the alleged offer. This leads us to a self-evident point that, from the period when this happened, if it happened, it will be four years, or rather four years at least, between the time when it happened (if it happened) and when it even begins to be investigated by the authorities responsible for the criminal law process, the FBI and the Justice Department. So as a matter of practicality, the most Representative Issa could possibly expect from this initiative is an investigation by one or both chambers of Congress, acting separately or in concert. As matters stand, there is no apparent likelihood, and no reasonable theoretical framework, of that happening in current circumstances. It could happen following the 2010 midterm elections, if the Republican party were to win control over either chamber. But even then, any congressional investigation would require the cooperation of the members involved, for which there is no sign of such happening, since if Congressman Sestak were win the general election for the Senate he would no longer be subject to any House process, and if were to lose the general election for the Senate while not running for re-election in Congress -- which in fact describes his situation -- he also would no longer be subject to any process, and in either chamber. I would remind Mr. Malor that Representative Issa's authority does not extend past the House. All this suggests that Representative Issa is in fact aiming for such expressions of concern as these to have some effect on the 2010 U.S. Senate election, which, given he is not in fact a candidate in that election, makes this a partisan political effort. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it as such. However, I would not expect it to be treated as anything more than that, moreover would not expect the good voters of Pennsylvania to regard it as more than that, and lastly would not expect those voters to react in shock to the news, or even the possibility of the news, that politicians are capable of such things as Representative Issa is raising concerns over. All of the above is completely explained in my seminal text on Hibernian Legal Precedents and the Scottish Verdict, $49.95 available at all reputable bookstores and perhaps on the internet. I do undertake that, immediately following this message, and a short nap, I will proceed to make a concerted effort to determine whether I am in fact a member of any organized political party and act accordingly.

Back on topic (hey, someone's gotta bring it back), God love Darrell Issa - he's doing the Lord's work.

First brought down that dick Grey Davis, then a bunch of other stuff, then this. Go, Darrell, go!

130 It's open and shut; but what's the crime again?

132 As Kansas wrote at #1, it "sounds like a crime"; all I want to know is what's the crime?

133 The only gaffe with the civil rights amendment was to try to have an intelligent, thoughtful discussion of the topic with a lunatic leftist. Canceling an appearance on a talking head news show is nothing anyone but talking heads care about.

Seriously, I can't figure out why people (supposedly) on the right are so harsh on people they allegedly are on the same side with, but shrug at so much by the left. Joe Biden has made more stupid statements and had more unfortunate stunts to his name in a single week than Paul has his entire life, and Biden is freaking Vice President of the United States.

134 138, Bribery.

135 Godwin's Law, a.k.a. Godwin's Rule on Nazi Apolgoies, states that: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches." As a professor mathematics, I introduced this concept as an exercise in mathematical probability. It's effectively a modernized version of a theory promulgated by 14th century Italian physician and gambling addict, Gerlamo Cardano. I must say that I have grown weary of my name and the "law" associated with it being cited so often, and for some time now have longed for a replacement. This recent kerfuffle involving Rand Paul appears to provide something of an opportunity to alleviate my distress. Can we call it Malor's Law? Please?

Yeah, a five year-old post from Ace, and a two-year-old post from Drew is like totally the clincher.

The one from almost two weeks ago was more about the evasive non-answer from a supreme court nominee and not really a "GAY" issues post.

Rep. Issa Still Pushing on Sestak Bribery/Corruption Charge - Gabriel

 

^Old news.^ Someone raised that issue here days ago, and with details that you neglected to mention. You were out to lunch on that one, too, Gabe.

But don't get discouraged. There's still a bright future and a niche for you in journalism, providing that you're willing to make an investment in a bicyle. A newspaper in your area must have  routes open for newspaper delivery boys.

144   Someone raised that issue here days ago, and with details that you neglected to mention. You were out to lunch on that one, too, Gabe.

I've been writing about the Sestak thing for months. There's even a link in this very post to my prior coverage. Retard.

147 Doesn't Sestak get a boost in his race from this, since he turned down the bribe?

148 #149 - Even if that is the case and we overlooked them, which we doubt, you shouldn't take our suggestion lightly. With your pay as a delivery boy, plus tips,  and your allowance from your parents, you could pretend that you have a life.

149 BTW, which one of us are you calling a retard? Please clarify, so we can point fingers at the appropriate troll here, and laugh.

150 Of course we're not going to cover this the way we're supposed to.

We're not racists, after all.
