Hillary to be “Coronated” Tuesday?

Um, Susan? I think the word is “crowned,” not coronated.

Coronated means something else:

http://dictionary.die.net/coronated

Land O Crap…okay, really, WHAT THE HELL is wrong with you?

Coronate \Cor”o*nate\ (k?r”?-n?t), Coronated \Cor”o*na`ted\
(-n?`t?ed), a. [L. coronatus, p. p. of coronare to crown, fr.
corona. See Crown.]
1. Having or wearing a crown.

What part did Susan get wrong you nut?

Knock it off OIAF…you’re beginning to stalk people you disagree with. In otherwords, you’re becoming an Obot. Trying to shut down people who disagree with you. There is no need to use the term Land O’ Crap.

“It will be more of a coronation” are the words used by Terry Holt, and then by Michael Brown saying that he does not believe it will go as far as being a “coronation…” If you listen to the video segment Susan provided, you will see why she used quotes around the word “coronated” not only for the attribution but for humor, I’m guessing anyway…

Strawberrybitch,

Nice try. Between Land O Crap and her friend Mary I have been stalked all over the place. Go back and read the posts. Not only have I NEVER ONCE posted TO either of them, but every single post of mine has received a comment by them. You are in the 0.5 % of the posters here who defend those nuts. Good for you. But you need to get a grip if you think I have EVER initiated a post to this person. Ever. Back off.

PS In this particular case…it could have been HRC herself and I would have defended Susan’s post. Nothing to do with Land O Crap.

You initiated a post to land of lincoln fifteen minutes before you state But you need to get a grip if you think I have EVER initiated a post to this person. Ever. Back off.

Like I said…It could have been HRC herself and I would have defended SUSAN. Do you READ? By the way…you and Strawberry show up every night, the same time, and rail on the same people, every night…Hmmm…clocking in?

Give me a break. No one gives a shit about you. You keep sticking your nose into conversations where you’re not wanted. Just like your social life. Hell, even I don’t spend as much time on NQ as you do and I’m recovering from a spinal fusion. Get a life. And by the by, you’d never have the ovaries to tell me to back off to my face. My main hobbies are MA, bodybuilding and powerlifting. I’m a fucking freak. Adjust your HRT drugs.

PSS. I’ve been coming here to NQ since Larry was being attacked by Bushbots over Valerie Plame.

Like you said… But you need to get a grip if you think I have EVER initiated a post to this person. Ever. Back off.… LOL and you said it like, what, 15 minutes after you initiated a post to land of lincoln? ROFLMAO but you would never EVER initiate a post to land of lincoln, would you?

not ever…

Hillary’s confirmation hearing will be a true lovefest
Remember..The democrat establishment only hates the Clinton’s when they are a threat to their timid power structure.

I personally am thrilled about Hillary being the top diplomat..Obama is stuck with a lousy economy.
Hillary gets to rebuild America’s position in the world.
What a great job!!

Hillary and Bill on the world stage again…Yeah Baby!!

WC, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a bit tired and cranky and I have no patience with rude people. I started cutting up for the Emerald Cup in April. Please say you’ll come see me make an ass of myself if I do it. I’ll be the big red head in the masters division. Anyhoo, I need to get some sleep. I’ve got an hour of cardio to do as well as delts in the morning. And steamed veggies with chicken breasts ain’t cuttin’ it. Nightie Night.

I’m a fucking freak.

Yup, S-Bitch, you got that right. Funny how we replay this same scenario every night…your idiocy mixed with the weak attempt at humor of Wildchild. You show up TOGETHER in a PAIR like we know all trolls do. Sad.

No one gives a shit about your wing nut hate either. And of course I wouldn’t fight with you, you PIG. Ladies don’t duke it out. Or are you a MAN? I’ve never hit another woman in my life. But I was raised with CLASS, not in a barn.

Back off pig. You’re a troll. Duh. It’s what I meant when I said to Moss, above, that I had realized something about two posters. I don’t care if you have been here since Jesus was resurrected. You’re a liar and a troll. Period.

LandOLinks?

PS S-Bitch…I know it’s hard for a low IQ ass like you to understand…as far as my time…ROFLMAO…I multitask. I can be in a meeting, on the phone, doing business, etc. and post. You’re too stupid and ignorant to get that I would imagine.

get my email from Susan and email with the show date and place. I’d be more than happy to come and make some noise for you.

Hillary is the third woman to serve as Sec of State. Yay.

I am going to speculate that most of the Senators are going to ask respectful questions of Senator Clinton, and I imagine there may be a few tough questions for her regarding the Clinton Foundation. I believe Senator Clinton will be very well prepared for the tough questions. With the world watching, with the world in economic chaos and with the world at war, I would not think it wise of the Senators to be foolish at a time like this. I do not hold any faith in the media however, by the time the Sunday morning talk shows roll out, each one of those jerks will be true to their pathetic biases by conjuring up lame arguments; you know the media creeps really love to hear themselves bash either Clinton; it’s all chills and high fives for those pundit asses when they throw insults at the Clintons. Expect the same on Monday.

I think Daschle might actually get some tough questions from the Senators, but the pundits will lay low, except maybe a few from FOX.

Or make “OMG that’s just nasty!” comments. I know, female bodybuilders are a lot like room temperature brie. An aquired taste.

I don’t know about the nasty thing. Cory everson was a babe, though I was a bigger fan of rachel mcleish

One is crowned at a coronation; once crowned, then one is said to be coronated.

Or something…

Look, I’m an English major, daughter of an English teacher, sister and sister-in-law to English professors, niece of an editor, etc. etc. and us types are colossal pains in the butt, I know.

It’s just that people have been using coronated when they really mean crowned a lot lately, and some a**hole English major always seems to pop up and set them straight. This time the a**hole English major just happened to be me, is all.

Anyway, I certainly wasn’t “attacking” Susan, as someone claimed downthread, and if I offended you, Susan, I’m very sorry. Sure didn’t mean to.

…OMG!!!!! Cory was the reason I got into bodybuilding in the first place. See her now at 50. She’s still hot. Ironically, it was when they made steroids illegal did the insanity begin. Up until then bodybuilders got roids from doctors, when they went blackmarket people just went nuts on them and now you have the craziness that is pro bodybuilding today. All size and no art. Don’t get me started. But back on topic, I will be waiting with baited breath on Tuesday…and I’ve got Black candles lined up for the 20th.

Like Susan, I’m going to be very interested to see how Kerry handles himself during these hearings, given that he wanted and expected the SoS job himself, and given also that he’s firmly entrenched on the Kennedy side of the Kennedy vs. Clinton struggles for control of (what’s left of) the Democratic Party.

But I’m not worried about Hillary. I know she can handle anything Lurch–or anyone else–can throw at her.

This might even be fun. Wish I hadn’t cancelled cable back in October.

Well, now that I know white trash is alive and well in America…it sure answers some questions around here.

Good points tonight Land O
I lived in Glen Ellen west of Chicago 40 years ago.
I saw the cubs in 69 and the big snow of 67.
I was only 10 when we moved to England from Chicago back in 1970.
I also knew Brett Hull as I played hockey back in those crew cut days.
best regards!

LOL! Yep, always the linky goodness. You know damn well if I didn’t supply ‘em, I’d hear about it muy pronto.

Hey precious,
I sent you an e-mail.

I sent you one back Mossy!

I compared Dictionary.com to the Die site listed above for the word “coronate”. Dictionary.com has as its first two definitions the adjective “wearing a crown” and the verb “to be crowned”. Only the third, least strong reference is to the bird example.

Exactly. So Land O Crap was just being mean and snarky and on top of it WAS WRONG. Like every other post of hers. Very sick and sad.

Hey Moss–

I’m from downstate myself (Champaign-Urbana) but I lived in Chicago for a couple of years in the mid 60s.

Left for good in ’69–the day after the moon landing, as a matter of fact–though I try to get back at least once a year since my family’s still there.

Where did you live in Blighty? I’ve got relatives in Lincolnshire, too, though I hear they’re not too interested in meeting their American cousins so I never tried to look them up when I was there.

They won’t be able to come up with any questions regarding policy except softball because she got more sense than any of them. If they try to bring up Bill she will make them look like the fools they are. John Kerry’s wife NEVER disclosed her financial records and I wonder if there is anyone in congress who could withstand the investigations and scrutiny she has survived. They’d be better off taking a vote and skipping the rest.

No, sweetpea, I was not being “mean and snarky,” nor was I wrong.

I see even Webster’s is now accepting coronate as a transitive verb, but all that means is that if enough people use a word incorrectly enough times, eventually it becomes accepted usage.

You know, majority rule and living language and all that…

Raised with class…huh?

LOL

HRC has already been meeting privately with different members of the committee. I’m sure it will go very smoothly. The ones who will continue to lambaste her will be the usual suspects in the media…Dick (how appropriate) Morris, Andrew Sullivan, Keith Olbermann…

No serious objections expected to Hillary Clinton

http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gFBkJNEs-XzAOmjfMTn19T-Bg14gD95IFKBG0

They wanna get her out of the Senate to make room for a Kennedy; of course, they won’t make a fuss. They will go get with the program, the BO program. Almost all dems in Congress act like obots these days. Hope Hillary will one day wake up.

You made a few grammar mistakes in case and number in your letter.

The sentence should read we types are colossal pains in the butt.

LandOLincoln,

If you ever want to finish that degree in English, don’t snark over over acceptable usage and then justify it by saying

“Us are a pain.”

And the next time you proof read a post, strip your sentences down to their basic noun-verb-complement elements.

This will help you to avoid embarrassing mistakes in the future.

Hillary has been a good Senator,

As a New Yorker, I wish she would stay and take Harry”s job.

Senator is a beacon in the incoming Barry Soetoro administration. She will bring her compassion, organization and reality to our country’s foreign policy. I believe she bring sanity and order to the world stage. Our country will need it! In light of Barry Soetoro and all his drama. He has become a major major Drama Queen, with all of his funny associations.

Who knows? If Hillary plays her cards right, can we say Prezzzzz, 2012. Go Clinton!

I don’t know about that? Yesterday, several major Dem senators knocking Drama Queen Barry Soetoro’s proposed budget! Have we ever witnessed memberas of incoming president ever critize his plan prior to being inaugurated??? This is tooooo funny, No drama Obama, turns out to be major Drama Queen!

The “embarrassing mistakes” were deliberate. i was being–I dunno–folksy? Colloquial? (Over)compensation for the unintended pomposity of my original post, I guess.

BTW, I got the degree 40 years ago.

And “coronated” instead of “crowned” still sounds faintly obscene to these stodgy old ears.

Don’t even get me started on proactive and incentivize…

Of course if that is how a majority of people use a word that is what it means! That is the ONLY way words are created/modified. A lot of people seem to think that there is some rulebook in the sky that governs language, not ordinary humans who determine what is acceptable.

Just a reminder for all “tin foil hat” freaks out there. The 13th of the month is a recurring significant date in the annals of alternative history. Many significant events occur seemingly moved by the hidden hand. Personally, I haven’t figured out whether the movers are the good guys or the bad guys.

I got so distracted by this debate I forgot to make my initial comment. Today’s Washington Post is carping about the conflicts of interest that Bill’s donors pose. Anyone remember the outcry about all those conflicts of interest W had because of the fundraising and money from speeches that his dad did? Didn’t think so. Seriously, any money the first President Bush raised for his library or his causes was used to increase the prestige of the Bush brand, clearly benefitting W who got ahead only because of the name. The money Poppy earned giving speeches to all those special interest groups increases the wealth of not only himself but also his heirs. Yet the media did not see this as a problem. I would have loved them obsessing over the bizarre speech that Poppy gave to help that uber-crackpot Sun Myung Moon get established in Argentina. Wonder how much money he made for doing that? And why weren’t conservative Christians told about it by the media? After all Moon claims that Jesus was a failed Messiah and that he is here to finish the job. This topic provided not only an important issue (Moon owns the Washington Times which never challenged W’s ascension to the throne) it also had that all-important entertainment factor.

OIAF is NOT A TROLL OR OBOT.

Well I give a shit about her…sticking her nose in where it doesn’t belong?? This is a blog, you realize that any comments made are subject to a response right? If you want a private conversation, you are in the wrong place. Maybe you and your friends need to go play by yourselves somewhere if you don’t want anyone to disagree w you.

A bright spot in this mess. I am happy for Hillary and I hope that between her and Bill something positive can be brought into the new year. I sure don’t expect any from Obama and his merry band of thugs.

I think you might be surprised at questions that do not have a clear answer. Hillary might end up not getting the SOS. The Pub’s might just want to bitch slap her, or BO might send out the troops to discredit her, and weaken her further politically.
Plus, Peterson won’t have to pick a new senator, which is a huge problem for the D’s..

right on girl…I second that. She outclasses and outsmarts the lot of ‘em.

Rock on Hillary!

As stated, the list of committee members is out-dated. Jim Demint, on the Republican side, can be very aggressive.
They may very well try to use the Iraq war statements used by Senator Clinton, during the campaign.
If the Republicans continue to be hawkish, there will be some discord in the room.

Yikes! What am I doing in the middle of this?

Interesting article by Howard Fineman about BO’s pre-inaugural misteps in “A Bumpy Start”.

LOL! Susan, you might want to change the headline to “NQ’s Great Grammar Debate.” Anyway, I wonder if some of those nitwits on the committee will take the opportunity to “slap her around,” and embarass her and/or Bill, even if, in the end, she will be confirmed as the newest SOS. I will make time to watch C-Span’s coverage, but I will do my best to picture them all wearing feathers … and sneezing! All except Hill. She will bring her humor and her composure and her knowledge and experience to the table. She is my Senator, too and she will be greatly missed in NYS, especially when you consider the empty dress that might follow her if our Governor loses courage. Good luck Hillary and all good things to you. May you succeed mightily and help our country.

… just wondering, will Coleman show up … can he? Or will Franken show up? Yikes! How can our Hillary keep a straight face among these exhibits in the Senate zoo?

Daschle’s was yesterday, ti was a JOKE, they frakin practically hugged him, he started out by talking about how fabulous BOB DOLE was, yeah the BOB DOLE who KILLED UHC, that bob dole

frakin joker is Daschle…

That’s the term that Fox used — I was quoting them.

STRAWBERRY! What are you up to? E-mail me – susaunpc at gmail dot com

I’m all curious. Also, i can give you the other person’s e-mail.

LEAVE SUSAN ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol!

Well, that’s a hell of a way to begin comments in a post I worked hard on. Thanks a lot for appreciating what I did late last night when I was so tired I could hardly see straight, but wanted to be sure to get this story up.

(I had a hundred other things to do here yesterday too — putting up radio shows, editing others’ stories, communicating with show hosts + writers, writing an earlier story, researching for another story, hunting for people’s comments who got lost in the spam filter, putting some people on moderation, hunting for MORE people’s comments who got stuck in the annoying spam filter, downloading new software, looking up new plug-ins for the blog, and checking the advertising and adding several new ads. And those are just the highlights.)

Thank you wodiej…it is a blog and unfortunately there are three or four people here who violently attack you if they don’t like your POV. Oh well.

As for Susan, of course we all appreciate what you do. That’s why I didn’t really like that the first post was some SNARK about how you don’t really get the English language, when in fact you were right all along. I find that stuff rather ungrateful, but that’s just me.

Me too. I just pray that the vicious MSM doesn’t eat her alive. They will POUNCE on everything she does or doesn’t do. Those f—–g cannibals.

Not sure they can attack her without attacking Obama. She would be, after all, presenting “his vision” (that’s what he calls it) to the world. If people don’t like the vision they can tell Obama to wash his eyeballs, no?

I missed Hillary! It’ll nice to see her Tuesday.

Fox, eh? Why am I not surprised?

I suppose they’ll be telling us about the “coronated heads of Europe” next, or describing a woman’s beautiful hair as her “coronating glory.”

Anyway, I’m sorry if you thought I was being snarky. I certainly didn’t intend to be.

OIAF – At the risk of being whipped by your sharp tongue, I have to defend Land of Lincoln! Born a Brit, I never, ever heard the use of “coronate”. Queen EII was crowned, not coronated, when I watched the whole thing as a kid in Merrie Olde England (first time I ever saw TV!) Since my adopted country (so far)has not become a monarchy, I think we have a bit more experience with that sort of thing. One of my favorite hymns at school was “Crown him, crown him, crown him, crown him Lord of all”.
Before you disembowel me I want you to know that I live in St. Louis and think Missourians, including me now, are the salt of the earth!

Sweatpea

You were being neither folksy nor colloquial. You made mistakes.

You also said that you are an English major. Did you mean were? Most people who hold degrees in a field no longer consider themselves to be majors in that field. We’ve established that you have problems with number and case. Do you also have problems with tense?

By the way, the OED has accepted the usage of the word coronate as a verb since 1860. It was first recorded in the 17th century.

If you don’t like the word, don’t use it. You may have a relatives distinguished in matters of linguistics, but such knowledge is not genetically transmitted. Please don’t presume to correct your betters until you’ve gained at least a modicum of expertise.

Please don’t presume to correct your betters until you’ve gained at least a modicum of expertise.

Thank you for your concern, but I’ve made my living for most of the last four decades as a professional writer/editor. I’m very grateful to the legendary Parker Ladd, who was then at Scribners, for thinking enough of my abilities to hire me as his editorial assistant. That opened a lot of doors, as I’m sure you can imagine, you

LMFAO…and I did Spielberg’s story notes for five years. Oh well. You were still WRONG and on top of it all it was really frigging RUDE to start the thread with an (inaccurate) assault on the post of an admin here. Kind of ungrateful, don’t ya’ think?

No need for the misogynistic name-calling. I was saying that Susan UnPC is your better, not I. (Although I certainly have better manners than you.)

I’m sure you were a wonderful editorial assistant.

As for Parker Ladd, you might want to rethink your descriptor.

Oh, and one last thing.

I wasn’t expressing concern. I was expressing contempt.

Editorial assistant, is that resume-speak for intern, gal friday, or gofer?
