Is Fox News not suffecient?
I would've brought the teenager, leave the 7 year old out of it.
Uh no, I just watched the video.

Yesterday, John McCain actually said that if he’s president he’ll take on, and I quote, 'the old boys’ network in Washington.' I’m not making this up. This is somebody been in Congress for 26 years, who put seven of the most powerful Washington lobbyists in charge of his campaign. And now he tells us that he’s the one who’s gonna take on the old boys' network,” he said. “In the McCain campaign that’s called a staff meeting!- Obama, 9/17/2008

I would bet good money that the quote of her remarking that the fans would not boo Piper is true, too. However, my bet would be that she was winking when she said that.

But remember too, that they are more than just words. They are a way of life. So whenever you speak them; speak them firmly, speak them proudly, speak them gratefully. I am an American. ...a tradition

it has absolutely zero sources as to whom she was speaking with and when how no one else heard it? the AP didn't mention that....it just seems well lacking context, I am not saying the author is lying etc. but its thin, at least to me....as I said if she said that earnest shes partially deranged and not good.


you hear merciless booing? uhm okay maybe from the 3 or 4 people standing around the handy cam, but I heard no such characterization when I listened to it. I heard boos turn into cheers. And some comments form the camera person who was clearly not a palin fan nor the folks standing around him or her....have you ever been to a sporting event in an enclosed arena? I'd that the booing was relatively tame....

*blinks*

yarrrr?

i like seein' the candidates' children now and then, mates.

they always look so wholesome, lookin' like they just looted a pirate chest filled with laura ashley and LL bean. even if i don't like the candidates themselves, i find meself thinkin'...."how bad can these swabbys be? their children look like good peoples!".

plus, i thinks it gives me an insight into who them candidates be.

now, i know all 'o this be malarky, i admit it....but i like gettin' a glimpse now and then 'o the children 'o the presidential candidates, whether they be democrat or republican.

makes'm all look like good family men (or women).

aye.

avast ye mateys!!!!!

ps - and aye, i thinks this be a silly thread to start, when thar be other more meaningful things goin' on...but its fun to comment on, and not too heavy in wonky minutiae. we can all take part and have an opinion on this, AYE!

John McCain told this joke during Clinton's second term: "Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?" he asked guests at a Senate Republican fundraiser. "Because her father is Janet Reno." I couldn't find a YouTube of it, but since it was at least 10 years ago, that does not surprise me. There are a number of press reports about the incident if you google it.

On November 6, 1992, three days after her father won the elections, when Chelsea was still in braces, Rush Limbaugh said the following on his television show: "Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat; Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is also a White House dog?". He then pointed to a video monitor, which switched to a picture of Chelsea.

Chelsea is within a month of the same age as one of my younger children. I remember all of the horrible things that were said about her gawky adolescent figure, her mass of untamed red hair and her general lack of attractiveness as a young teen. Right-wing radio was the worst offender and many of the quotes are not still on the Net some 8 to 16 years later.

My comment was to "merciless" booing... I agreed there was booing in a previous thread….from the 3-4 sure from the rest of the arena, no, not even close….....

Oh, please. You can't even admit what is patently obvious to the ears; perhaps not the whole arena, but far, far more than 3-4.

ahoy Imperator matey!

here ye go mate...the joke that the mighty John Mccain told be written about here, in his hometown paper, aye!

ARIZONA CENTRAL/News from The Arizona Republic

this quote also be referred to in;
Salon Newsreal | A joke too bad to print?

it seems to be true, this joke that mr. mccain told. to be fair, mr. mccain apologized to Hillary Clinton privately about this bit 'o mirth. i don't think mr. mccain meant anything mean spirited from it, and he was just havin' a bit 'o fun at the time.

-MeadHallPirate

I never said "only "3 or 4 booed. I put merciless in quotes what the fuc else would you like me to do? The quotes were to draw attention to or an emphsis around the use of an adjective like merciless to describe what I heard.....


okay one more time ....maybe I should just define merciless--


merciless
Adjective
without mercy; pitiless, cruel, or heartless


I do not think that the level or duration of the boos reached anywhere near that level.....as I said before, the booing was not very much considering what you hear in sports arenas etc. as when people really want to aggressively OR mercilessly boo........are we clear now?

Sure. It's just that when you say "I agreed there was booing in a previous thread….from the 3-4 sure from the rest of the arena, no, not even close…....." it sounds to me like you're saying 'only' from the 3-4, but no one else from the arena.
