Good fucking riddance to one of the Repuke votes against holding Stedman in contempt over stonewalling Fast and Furious.  This is a side benefit of that RINO jizz swiller Kevin DeWine being run from the Repub state steering committee last year so all his squishy butt buddies are heading for the hills.

"He said; Kiss my ass;Show some respect."

Bwahahaha.  I like that.  Sounds like something Vic would say.

Check out the "questions" those Democrat assholes were shouting at Romney.  "What about your gaffes?" asks the WaPo.  Hey, jackholes, why don't you pester your dog-eating boyfriend about the 57 states he visited or where he learned to speak Austrian?  The only bad thing about the story was that Romney's aide apologized after telling Politico to shove it.  He should have said "When a reporter asks the governor a question, he will answer it.  I haven't seen any reporters on this trip."

Meh.  As Vic says, it's the doldrums.  Not much for the last day of July.  However, in 1915, the slapstick director Mack Sennett created what would be the second-most readily identifiable silent "image" next to the Keystone Kops - the Bathing Beauties.  Designed to be eye candy, the Beauties - dressed in (for the times) sexy bathing costumes - were background attractions in many Sennett shorts as well as being used in PR shots and public appearances.

A number of women who began as Bathing Beauties graduated to their own film careers, including Juanita Hansen and Carole Lombard.  Sadly, at the end of the silent era, many of those same women lost their star appeal; the most famous, perhaps, being Marie Prevost.  Drug, alcohol and food addictions doomed her to poverty by the mid-Thirties, and she died of heart failure in 1937.  A popular legend (repeated in the disgusting Hollywood Babylon has it that Prevost - whose body wasn't discovered until two days after she died - was eaten by her dogs.*  In fact, only her legs showed bite marks, and these were from her pet dachshund, Maxie, who had been trying to wake his mistress up.

And that's it from me.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

*Songwriter Nick Lowe (Cruel To Be Kind) hat-tipped the legend in his song "Marie Prevost" with the lines "She was a winner / Who became a doggie's dinner."

Romney should realize that McStain's the George Costanza of presidential politics and do the opposite of whatever Juan McRINO advises him to do.

Jesus, Mikey, what the fuck?

These absurd, mindless rules are horrifying, but it's New York.  He who lives by libtardation shall surely die by it.  Let those imbeciles suffer - let them drive out the few remaining sane people.  Eventually either that ciy will drown in its own leftist excess, or there will be a backlash.  Hopefully the latter.  For the rest of us, NY NY can serve as a bad example.

LOL.  This should not surprise anyone.  England is the place where a burglar gets off scott free in 90% of cases, but a person who defends his property or life, even if only with his fists, is reliably punished every damn time.  It is one of the most unjust places in the West.  This is the price of letting the Libs take over - up is down, black is white, etc.

I don't care how stupid reporters are, if you are the "Traveling Spokesman" for a Presidential candidate, you don't tell people to kiss your *ss.

Eh...Bwa-what??

Re the shipwreck myth, the article was pretty sketchy on the methodology.  As far as I can tell all they do is compare the numbers for survival rates.  To assume that this is really telling is stretching it.  Shipwreck victims don't all just casually portion out space on the life boats as the ship gentle settles, ever so slowly, into the water.  I think it's fair to say that most folks are stuck trying to survive actually IN the ocean for a while.  The weaker you are, the greater the odds that you'll croak, even if given preferential treatment.  Thus, children die first, and hardened sea farers die last. 

As usual, sloppy work by economists - the squad that is only slightly more reliable than climatologists.

This.  Accusation is not proof, and who among us has not known someone falsely accused of a bad act by some hysterical woman or a bitter enemy?  And the accusation of a libtard is even more suspect.

Posted by: GnuBreed at July 31, 2012 08:10 AM (ccXZP)

------------------

Yep - no surprise there.  Libtard ethics at work, as usual.  They will do anything to cover their gross failure.  Especially if it enables them to do so without voicing the real truth - that inner city culture is the biggest reason for their ongoing failure.  When education is seen as a form of collaboration with the "racial enemy" it tends to depress those test scores a bit.

It pisses me that certain universities say they will remove CFA from their campuses.

Religious discrimination suit just waiting to happen presuming it's a public campus. Private universities may be facing suits based on violation of their own policies. 

I maintain my position that this would all end differently for Chick Fil A if they'd just send the cows out there to start lopping off some heads.  I mean, that is how it works, right?   Because is sure as hell seems that way to me.

On the Gorka thing, that's far politer than my response of "what the actual fuck is wrong with you, you classless shitstains, were you raised by the stupid wolves?" so I am finding it difficult to work up outrage.

I would venture to guess that most Americans would approve of telling the MFM to kiss their ass.

That happened in the Philly market. WPHT rearranged its schedule to accomodate squishes and libtards in the midday and drivetime slots. Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity: GONE.

Then a beautiful thing happened. A new station on the FM band picked up the Big Three, added Mark Levin for good measure. They have a couple local guys in the morning, haven't listened enough to determine their political leaning. So now we truly have choice. (WPHT still has some reliable local conservative guys on its schedule, mainly in the morning and buried in the 10pm slot.)

Only problem is that Sirius/XM gives you the great American Hannity in the afternoon(could be worse) but then follow him up with Mark Levin- the great one. Mike Church in the AM is a total Paulbot but speaks good Constitutional stuff. Andrew Wilkow is by far my fave in the mid-day, just wish I could listen to him more.

Oh I knew about the pre traumatic stress disorder thing, it was the pre-virtual vicarious that really pushes that over the top.

Also I notice that one of the lead stories on msn.com is David Cameron saying that we can do better about the Olympics ticket snafus and suchlike.  Sooooooo, the MFM will apologize to Romney about saying he was wrong about London not being ready when?

I'd do it but I suck as a beta.  Apparently "needs more fucks, both in usage and people doing it" is not actually helpful.  Oh and "why doesn't he just shoot everyone" seems to be not the appropriate response when discussing a Victorian era romance.  Who knew?

LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST: So today is Poland. Why is he stopping in Poland. What does he hope to accomplish with that?

Cokie Roberts: Well, I think part of it was a desire to portray President Obama as something of a wimp, and say he's abandoned Eastern Europe. But look, you remember well the Reagan Democrats. Those ethnic white voters who had been Democrats for many years; turned out for Ronald Reagan, and have been fairly predictable Republicans since then. Now it's a smaller percentage of the population -- of the voting population -- than it used to be, but white voters are still much more Republican than any other group in the electorate. They went for McCain in 2008 by 55%. And I think that getting those ethnic voters excited is really what Romney has in mind here. It's more for the folks at home -- the descendents of the people that he will be speaking to -- in Poland.

Yeah, I pulled my daughter from public school and sent her to the only non-religious affiliated private school in the area.  That worked up until the 7th grade.  They didn't have the number of students to support anything higher than 6th grade because almost all of the parents in the area wanted their kids to play football.

From Gabe's link:

Oh well, looks like this thread is nearly dead...

I know it feels good in a blog comment section to tell the press to kiss your *ss, but theoretically the guy is supposed to be trying to help Mitt get elected.  I fail to see how it helps to have your SPOKESMAN letting reporters being rude and disrespectful get under his skin so much as to be rude and disrespectful.

I don't care about hurting reporters feelings, so my question is, how do you demand respect from someone  in a sacred place by resorting to profanity to get your point across?  You either can't control YOUR emotions, or you have no idea what the word "respect" means. 

Hm I take it back about the Daley tweet. The article I read made no mention of death threats. If that is true, it's a whole nother ballgame.
Posted by: DangerGirl

From the article...

"Later, the tweets become more aggressive, such as one that said: "I'm going to find you and I'm going to drown you in the pool ..."

However,  this is also from the article...

No, poofter is a gay person.  Light in the loafers.....that sort of thing.

I can respect your POV, BurtTC, but there is a time and place for reporters to be shouting questions and a time and place for showing some courtesy.  They were visitors in a foreign country, visiting a sacred place.  That's two checkmarks against them for their rudeness.    I mean, just read the transcript:

CNN: "Governor Romney are you concerned about some of the mishaps of your trip?

Gorka: "Kiss my ass. This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect."

I see absolutely nothing wrong with that response in that context.   The reporters were acting like spoiled children, and Gorka treated them as such.

Posted by: MWR, Proud Tea(rrorist) Party Hobbit and ABO Supporter at July 31, 2012 10:27 AM (4df7R)

I absolutely agree with what you're saying but.....what's going to be reported?  That the press was being rude OR Gorka's response to them?

Worried about Ohio going blue?

Well, let's punish our enemies, shall we?

A very good start for the Romney Administration would be a national Right to Work law targeting the auto unions, laced with provisions making mandatory dues illegal for any union, public or private.

Break the unions into little, itty bitty bits.

No more worries.

231 -

Don't you find the response to their disrespect though, to have been disrespectful?  Not  necessarily  to the reporters, I'm talking about that sacred place. 

What I suspect is that the transcript  may have been "edited,"  and that it's possible the "kiss my *ss" line didn't occur in that same sacred place, but unless and until we get a report from somebody other than THOSE reporters, we'll never really know how it transpired.
