Open Thread Giggler

picture1-1.jpgOkay, so we published a list of many of the most important positions that president-elect Barack Obama will need to fill — especially those in the vital areas of national and international security. And we invited YOUR input on who should get those jobs!

Perhaps President Obama will send VP Joe on some more harrowing, very dangerous helicopter rides, er — EXCUSE ME! — investigative missions to Afghanistan? Along with Secretary of State-wannabe (god help us) John Kerry?

Perhaps President Obama can ask our elite special forces to get Joe some more hair plugs — DARKER HAIR PLUGS, please, you clever Delta guys — and to grow a beard (with hair plugs there too as needed but don’t let Joe comb them since Joe is vain and won’t like his scruffy beard). Then Joe can land that helicopter, and camp out in the mountains with the special forces working with the Afghani locals who help our special forces by day and the Taliban by night? Joe aka Josama , with his persuasive skills, can no doubt influence the Afghan locals to go 24/7 for the U.S. And President Obama will surely want Joe to spend as much time in the mountains there accomplishing that critical goal.

And, President Obama, Larry Johnson has one more request. Could you also have VP Joe aka Josama teach the local Afghans how to speak English? He was so good at that on the campaign trail. Larry fondly recalls Joe’s line about the three-letter word, “JOBS.”

On November 3rd — a day before the election — Politico asked, “Where have you gone, Joe Biden?

What will Joe Biden be doing during the next four years?

joe-biden-thumb-425x307.jpgWill Joe be lonely?

As in on his own alone?

And lonesome?

And in the existential grips of “a sense of disorientation and confusion in the face of an apparently meaningless or absurd life, er world“?

Just asking myself that got me into a fit of giggles, and I couldn’t stop! You remember those? Those little-kid giggles that went on so long that your tummy would hurt?

So …

What in the hell is Barack going to do about Joe?

    Joe the Biden will be in exile for the next 4 years. Maybe they will send him for a 4 year trip of Africa and SE Asia. I guess the only positive thing about Biden becoming a VP is that he won’t be in the Senate anymore. I hope Sara will appoint a good guy to the Senate when Stevens get put in jail.

    I just sent the following message to John McCain:

    # # #

    Even hard-core Obama supporters I know have spoken with great respect and admiration about your concession speech. I don’t think that is worth much, at the cost of our nation’s future but there you have it.

    What concerns me is that, at the moment, you have shown more respect and support for your opponent than you have for your own running mate.

    You, sir, need to stand up once more. You, sir, need to speak out, loudly and clearly, to stop the disemboweling of this incredibly gifted woman.

    It might be the last official act you perform as a candidate for the Presidency. But, it will define who you are in the mind of many of your supporters, for a very long time.

    What’s right is right. If you are, truly, a man of honor, do the right thing.

    Stand up and say, ENOUGH!

  • http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com OBAMA IS A FRAUD

    I got this today from a friend in politics in Texas after he met with some REALLY pissed off Dems…Looks like some Dems there are already having buyers remorse. He basically said that Obama is doing what Soros says and not listening to his supporters or honoring his promises. It will be status quo in DC until Obama once and for all bankrupts this country and causes a depression. But we already knew that. My friend said that his contribution will be to educate the youth voters for next time so they never make a mistake like this again and understand why they should never have voted for Obama.

    Obama is supporting the bailout designed by Paulson, to protect and
    reward bankrupt banks. This is a crazy policy, and will not work. By
    supporting this policy, Obama will be forced to turn against those who he made
    promises to.

    In other words, those who drank the Obama Kool-aide will get no benefits from
    him, because he is going to tie up all our resources in bailing out the bankrupt
    banks! This will not create an economic recovery. All it will do is
    redistribute poverty upwards!!!! More taxes, and fewer benefits. He won’t even
    be able to give some crumbs in a “trickle-down” as he will lead us, through
    continuing the current policy, into national bankruptcy.

    Therefore, we have to tough out the next 1-2 years, because he will soon be
    totally discredited. I met with some moderate Democrats in Houston today who
    were never Obama supporters, but who ended up backing him. They were told that
    he will do nothing to help them — he gave them the same back-of-the-hand he
    gave Hillary supporters.
    They were not happy at all.

    This will eventually come back to haunt him. I hope we can keep the country
    together, in the meantime!

    Best regards, and stay strong,

    I tried to excuse our beloved RD’s November 5 celebrate-Obama’s-victory post by suggesting that perhaps she was abducted by aliens who have hacked into her account. Didn’t go over too well. Now it’s almost all girls posting there and the site is a bit too much like Lifetime TV for me.

  • fluffy bunny

    Indie Dog, conservative republicans just knifed John McCain in the back, and handed the White House to Barack Obama.

    The people who are crapping all over Sarah Palin are former Bush and Romney staffers that came over to “help” McCain with his campaign after he won the nomination.

    Romney was the Bush family choice for successor, so Bushbots and Romneybots are now trying to savage Palin so she won’t be a threat to their man in 2012. None of this crap is coming from McCain, who personally chose Palin instead of Romney like all the Bushbots and Washington insiders wanted him to, and pressured him like crazy to.

    I guess McCain could make a public statement, or release a public statement that all of this bashing Palin is disgusting….but would it have any effect? Or would the media and the Bush/Romneybots just get more attention for this disgusting behavior?

What a bunch of bastards.

    What is Obama going to do with Joe Biden?

    i thought, before he named him, this will be an important choice and show what his real agenda his a little bit.

    Then he came up with Joe. ???.

    The only thing I could make out of that was that he is using him for the election and to hide his true agenda a little longer.
    I thought he will disappear, sickness or accident, something like that.
    And I asked my husband, who follows in the US into the VP Spot, if something happens?
    I think he said Secretary of State, but I am not sure.
    Does anyone know that?

  • Susan1968

    So far, Obama has choose partisan hacks –Biden (with even more years in the senate than McCain) and Emmanuel (who started his career as a Bill Clinton fund raiser in 1990).

    His candidates for Treasury Secretary are also long-in-tooth grandpas.

    And he’s giving Oprah (who started making me gag 10 years ago with her half baked new age psychobabble — seriously, this woman thinks the “The Secret” is real science), as an ambassador to England or France.

    So where’s the CHANGE?

    All I see is same-old, same-old.

    Joe said that he would play the role of Advisor in Chief to BO but I think he may have other plans for him because as That One declared, no matter who he picked as VP, HE would be the Decider — you know, the one who makes all the decisions.

    So they’ll probably send ol’ Joe to Afghanistan to see how he wants to carve it up into little pieces — sorta like how he wanted Iraq to be partitioned. That should keep him busy for a while and out of everyone’s hair.

  • johnqpublic

    Towards the end, the Romans found themselves catering to sullen, ever-growing, unproductive mobs and their populist demagogic leaders. The government provided bread and circuses to stave off rioting. That’s where the Democrats are leading us. Republicans making a futile effort to out-pander Democrats will not help.

  • Seattle Moss

    Here is my take on the election

    I actually was quite impressed with Obama’s victory speech the other night. The fact that he wants McCain to help him and include Republicans is a very good start. Kuccinich the next day said to O’Reilly that he would no longer pursue indictments. Pelosi has said that Obama will govern from the center and is now talking tax cuts.
    Whomever leads today has a tremendous burden and I actually enjoyed seeing the AA community have their moment. The world is unifying behind Obama which is also positive for now. There is a chance that Obama may govern like Reagan which will be good for us. The extreme left are going to be unhappy no matter what. Four years from now those that were originally supporting him may be in rebellion while those that were originally against him might be impressed and support him.
    The irony is that because of our patriotic opposition Obama and is forced to govern from the center.
    I’m wishing Obama all the luck on this one despite all we witnessed in the election .I even believe that blacks now that they have won will start showing respect because they have no reason to rebel any longer.
    I’m really glad of my vote for McCain because it shows a mature view of the world which I believe Obama will have to adapt.
    If things go wrong such as a depression or a terrorist attack then we can say we told you so while running for cover with our empty wallets.

    We have done our jobs well!!!

    Taxes will not be raised anytime soon!
    We will win Iraq with honor and victory!
    Obama will respect and covet the 50 million people that had legitimate concerns about his readiness to be president.

  • ame

    Joe Scarborough put Matthews to shame. At the end of the segment, he was slumped over and looking down. I think Matthews is well aware that he is crossing the line when it comes to journalism. He justifies his open support of Obama by insinuating that financially tough times the country is experiencing gives him the right to not hold Obama accountable for anything. Ignorance in reference to Matthews’ proper role in the media would have been a better excuse for poor journalism, but I’m sure he’s well aware of his own bias. The fact that Matthews can’t help himself makes him a loser.

    I agree that Matthews can’t help himself — so many in the media have had that same problem. I imagine they’ll soon begin to self-flagellate for not being better reporters — that’s what they always do before they go back to doing the same thing all over again.

    4-8 yrs. of this shit is going to really stink…

  • Seattle Moss

    I know it’s hard to believe

    The very things that we have hated about Obama such as his lies,cheating and obfuscating on every issue may actually put him in an ideal position to make new policy.
    Everything can be changed or reexamined because the worlds in big trouble!!!
    Bush was a stubborn ideologue who was unable to make changes or even seek out new ways of thinking.
    Obama as we know is an empty suit but he does listen to many people here at home and abroad. I pray that he makes the right decisions so that I can keep my company prosperous and my workers employed.
    I’m not the type to walk around telling people I told you so…I did that for years with Bush
    I have not voted for a winner since the last time Clinton won. I’m tired of always being right while the country goes into the shitter because of stupid voters.
    I’m just hoping for the best as we have no choice but to accept what the media and the masses have given us.

    I left because of the post after the election. I have no respect for someone telling us to be happy that a r*cist, misogynist thief took this election by hook and crook, but oh yeah, did I mention “he’s black”. Additionally, I didn’t appreciate the comment the day before stating McCain was not perfect because he left his first wife after 5.5 years after being tortured and imprisoned. Also, the bs about withholding the vote for McCain because he’s not a Democrat. No Leadership is not appealing to me.

    But tell me what “good” decision he has made so far for our courntry. Has he decided anything that has turned out well, really? He has no experienc to base his decisions on.

    Don’t tell me about the “smart” campaign he ran. You can steal and lie your way to the top. Many have done it; and then eventually they’ve been caught.

    I keep thinking about how when I asked my poor, hardworking parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents what the Depression was like (had to for Civics reports), they would tell me it was no differnt for them as they were always dirt poor and new how to get by.

    I’ve never gone after money. I’ve just wanted an honest life with a few nice things, not much (too much to clean). So I’m hoping to get through these “O” years the same way I have always done, doing what I have to do to get by.

    Many teachers where I Iive in Ca are underqualified i.e. are given provisional credentials if they are ethnic minorities. This hurts all of the children. This information is available online for all public schools. You can look a particular school up and see how many teachers are qualified. It has been felt in California that “culturally appropriate” was more important than academically qualified.

    Parents already know this stuff. Look up virtual education in your city/area and you will be shocked. I have seen a “virtual school bus” drive around my area that visits students every so often to check on their home lessons. The big problem here is that a geometrically growing percentage of students are considered to be non English language speakers. -Too many children to educate with available funding and resources.

    The public schools are failing all of our children. I have no idea how the language problem can be dealt with. The question is, would you leave your American child to fall behind in a school trying to cope with impossible social problems? For all of their liberal speak the upper middle white class privately educates it’s children and so does the black middle class. There are a few great charter schools in Ca. but they are a drop in the bucket. My understanding (this may be a rumor) is that Ayres has been designing a public school plan to “reeducate” American children. This needs to be examined.

    Yep I hit RD’s celebration post — by writing:

    Is this a joke?

    Because I really did believe that she was doing satire.

    But then I got an email from a Republican friend who was singing the unity song.

    Nothing has changed — O-zero is still the same con artist — he still gamed the caucuses — his supporters are still rude, sexist pig jerks.

    Nothing has changed — just the Chicago mob has taken over DC.
