13 60 Minutes is taking time out to discuss...sex abuse in the Catholic Church. Priorities, people. They are concentrating on the real material threats to our great, multicultural nation. Maybe Barry will lob some Tomahawk missiles at the Archdiocese in DC.

We're going to have to lay off the Frenchie jokes if it turns out that a French cruise missile expedited Gadaffi from this mortal plane.

Ok that's fuckin funny right there.

18 O/T: It was not US missiles that hit k daffy's compound but they are saying that there is an 80% chance that it was a british missle.

19 America will be hard-pressed to make up for the vast reservoir of charisma lost with Mr. Christopher's passing.

21 Welcome to yesterday.

Heh. First thing I thought was to wonder whether this counted as a double post.

22 Personally I'm rooting for Jimmy Carter winning the dead pool. A man whose time has come. He has been eclipsed as the worst President in the last 50 years.

Posted by: George Orwell at March 20, 2011 03:32 PM (AZGON)

23 Wasn't Christopher part of AlGore's Brain Trust for the Florida fiasco?

26 I don't think k daffy is dumb enough to just be at home. But, probably he now has another home that he can refuse to repair to show the aggression directed towards him.

One of my friends was saying that he was saying he is BO's brother? She really believes he is BO's brother but she's a lib/dem so she thinks it's ok. I'm wondering if she has gone stark raving mad cause she said this right after I said to her "how does it feel to be ok with this when if GWB did it, you'd be setting up the impeachment hearing?"

Posted by: curious at March 20, 2011 03:34 PM (k1rwm)

27 Just Imagine(Â© Yoko Lennon) what he could have accomplished if he'd been given the full 8 years he was due. I think B. Hussein Chickenhawk is going to fulfill that destiny.

28 Meh. He hadn't made a good movie in years.

Posted by: nickless at March 20, 2011 03:36 PM (MMC8r)

29 He wasn't that bad in "Back To The Future," but really made a name for himself on "Taxi."

32 Mr. Curious, i gave up reasoning or talking to socialist. And since then my skin has cleared up. Lost weight. The ladies are paying attention to me and i got that promotion.

33 I remember when I first saw his photo in the news 30 years ago, I thought the press deliberately picked the worse photo possible of the man. But, they didn't. The guy was butt ugly.

34 Suggested Epitaph: Still Better Looking Than Hillary That would work for Robert Byrd too.

35 Oh wait, my bad.

60 Minutes is also discussing the controversy around Huck Finn.

44 Cripes.

'controversy' should have been in quotes of course. After all, that is how we offset the fakey faux outraged media controversies from the real ones.

Posted by: laceyunderalls at March 20, 2011 03:55 PM (qXJe4)

45 "Christopher ... negotiated the release in 1980 of 52 Americans held hostage in the embassy in Tehran, a tortuous process that became a model of American diplomacy Â– but came too late to rescue Carter's presidency." Yes, when I think back to how Carter handled the Iranian hostage crisis, "model of American diplomacy" are the exactwords that spring to mind.

46 I hope the mullahs in Iran and the muslim brotherhood are appreciative of our efforts in their behalf. Without Barry, they would have lost this war.

51 So wolf asks "so in the days coming we will see an arab air force attacking k daffy's targets? and the guy answers "allah willing"

so what the heck does that mean.

Sarah Palin had the right idea at the right time. How many young libyan kids are dead now cause everyone hesitated? Just like how many "students in I ran" aren't here cause their twitters were ignored?

Career Highlight: Waiting in an un-airconditioned airplaine on the tarmac in Damascas for 10 hours waiting for Assad to say it was O.K. to come over and have a talk. The call never came.

A tool. A liberal ivy league douchebag who should have never occupied the positions he was appointed to, another reason Democrats should never be in charge of anything.

Yeah, and he had some really nasty ankle-biter things to say at the end. Not a gracious loser, but a loser just the same. Disengaged, arrogant mofo.

54 That counts for something? Like what. Only good thing I can say about him is that his wimpness showed up in FL recount.

What a loser.
