What's wrong with "under the bus"?

Curbs don't leave tracks.

Tossed aside like a used rubber?

I kinda liked the bus

Curb, bus....doesn't matter. He did their dirty work and now he's smeared on the pavement with the rest of Obama's campaign tools.

They don't have that resounding "bump".

Heh

.........time to clean up the bottom of that bus. It's getting messy under there. They are going to have to raise the height of that thing, and make it a MONSTER BUS.

I'm outraged that you've kicked to the curb the phrase "thrown under the bus".

What's next, "Run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it?"

I am sure Obama supports Clark but not his mission. The surge in the polls will not work.

"kicked to the curb?”

How about "scratched off the list", as in the VP list?

If BHO gets elected, sometime around 2009 the whole country will be "kicked to the curb" "Thrown under the bus" pick your description.

It's not going to be pretty.

Thrown on the trash heap of history?

re: #3 Thanos

I assume you mean tread, from a tire.

Oh, once the gloves come off, and they will , all of this "make nice" stuff will just be kicked/shoved/thrown under/to the bus/curb/trashbin.

I like thrown under the bus, did he at least get hit by the bus after he was kicked to the curb?

Since I’ve received several emails complaining that the phrase “thrown under the bus” is getting on their last nerves, how about “kicked to the curb?”

Fuck 'em, if they can't take a joke.

The Obama campaign rejects Clark, but thanks Clark for his service. /

Going to need a bigger curb!

Who's gonna be left to besmirch his opponents for him if he keeps doing this?

re: #8 MandyManners

Oh, boy.

I agree, too crude for a post headline, but it's what I was thinking.

There's a limit to how many folks can thrown under the bus. Even one as big as this one:

How did the term "throw under the bus" start anyway? What is the history?

There's no such thing as "Curb and Driver".

This of course was a calculated, planned rejection.

Obama could use those buses that Mayor Nagin didn't.

At the rate he is going he will need the entire fleet.

re: #10 Shug

Flop to follow this flip in 5... 4... 3...

Clark is a total hack. If he believes that McCain's POW status doesn't give one the credibility to be POTUS, is he trying to argue that Obama's stint as a 'community organizer' is? That is so beyond ridiculous I almost spit my drink out when I heard it. Though maybe in Clark's mind, running the largest military in the world is like assembling a game of kickball at the local Chicago YMCA.

The bus leaves no skid marks in front of the body. Sorta like the lawyer laying beside the skunk.

/sorry buzzsaw and lawhawk - the compulsion was stronger than prudence

Let me guess. That's not the Wesley Clark he knew.

So, did Bryan kick Stewy to the curb or was that under the bus?

Will the MSM call him on it? No way, they'll be too busy cheering.

Not to mention BHO did his community organizing during his stoner daze....which either adds to the narcism or proves that can overcome a handicap (open to interpretation).

I think Barack needs to man up and just say what he believes without worrying that someone will be offended or upset. (McCain needs to not worry if he upsets anyone either.) If he doesn't truly honor McCain's service then he should say so. I don't care what he says. I won't vote for him anyway. So, he might as well say what's on his mind.

I want a president with a spine. This whole throwing associates under the bus or kicking them to the curb is getting real old. The candidates know who they have on their side. If they are afraid they might say something that will get someone upset then you don't let them interview. If they aren't engaged in illegal activity or saying something obviously offensive then the candidates should stick up for their associates.

I second that. Let's call it being Obamahd.

Obamah
Pronunciation[Oh-bahm-ah] Pronunciation Key
–verb -hd.
1. to quit or leave entirely; abandon; desert (especially for political expediency): She obamahd her husband because it was well know that his addiction to internet porn would conflict with her family values campaign.
2. to give up or renounce (a habit, way of life, cigarettes, political cronies, spiritual mentors etc).

That's why they say you can't unring a bell... I think Barry's learning some tricks from the Edwards school of fancy-pants lawyerin'...

I agree, under the bus has jumped the shark, but kicked to the curb has also been used plenty.

Maybe we can retire it when Obama's presidential aspirations swirl the drain.

Stop that. You're being very silly.

I rather liked the bus, I think Obama should be allowed to continue throwing people, issues, and policy under it.

As for the pathetic meandering monologues by the esteemed former Gen. Clark, I don't even think he realized how he is being used by the Dem's and the left in general. IMHO, they view him as nothing more than someone than can give them credibility in military matters (see also, Jack Murtha). They probably, deep down, have as much disdain for him as your average former general who supports Repubs or conservatives.

Sad, sorry man, desperately seeking to keep himself relevant.

re: #128 HelloDare

I like the messy image.

No matter what the phrase used, it is a "refrain oft' heard", far too often. It has gotten to the point that no one who has ANY association, no matter how remote or tenuous, with the Obamassiah can be seen or heard in public without "The Army of Clarifiers" rushing forward to denounce the heresy of the apostate and declare they have fallen from the "True Faith".

Meanwhile, (Woohoo!) McCain's new friends in Baghdad say:

Iraq seeking help to develop oil
[Link: news.bbc.co.uk...]

Whereas, Obama Will Throw Iraq's oil under the Bus
Instead of in your gas tank.

Iraq has begun the process of opening up its oil industry to foreign investment in an effort to boost output of the country's key income earner.

Iraq is seeking external help to boost output from six key oil fields and has attracted interest from leading US, Asian and European producers.

Oil production is currently at its highest since the 2003 invasion. ..."

"Flush" would be specific to Clark, "Purge" for the rest.

#74 - LOL. Exactly. "Under the bus" is an easily-visualized scenario that comes in handy in a plethora of settings. At work we use it primarily to discuss situations during presentations when the speaker uses the moment to victimize the deserving or otherwise. I have one repeating monthly meeting in front of senior execs [Mt. Rushmore] where prior to the venue a few people will seek me out to determine whether it's their turn in the barrel. While not looking ever to cause my associates trouble, if a question is asked, the softshoe is saved for my own carcass, so, yes, people do get thrown under the proverbial bus.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: Never take military advice from a guy named "Wesley."

re: #136 jcm

LOL

Well, it looks like Obama has no problem throwing women under the bus either. Take a gander at the pay disparity in his Senate office.

Cybercast News Service reported: “The average pay for all 36 male employees on Obama’s staff was $55,962; and the average pay for all 31 female employees was $48,729.”

That works out to 87¢ for every $1 a man is paid.

But what about Republican Sen. John McCain, huh? Huh? What about him?

CNS: “After excluding interns, the average pay for the 30 women on McCain’s staff was $59,104.51. The 16 non-intern males in McCain’s office, by comparison, were paid an average of $56,628.83.”

That works out to $1.04 for every $1 a man makes.

Oh and Obama’s staff appears to be 50% larger than McCain’s.

The repetition of "under the bus" was annoying, but that was kind of the point. The sheer repetition of times Obama turned on people or HAD to turn on them when his dubious associations were exposed.

One may forget exactly how many stories one heard of his associates being scum, but one would remember hearing the dern phrase repeated, and would have a vague idea of the sheer volume of times one heard it.

And that repetition tells us that Obama has a LOT of unsavory associates.

So he's either the most incompetent judge of character in the history of time....oooooooor, his character is equally unsavory and he agrees and sees nothing wrong with their viewpoints. Until they both are exposed. Then another unsavory characteristic of his, disloyalty, is exposed.

Again and again and again.

I'm starting to see The Obamination's strategery, as Limbaugh would say. He has his useful idiots spew whatever wild BS The Obamination would like to say but knows he'd get skewered over and then he comes riding in and condemns the spewer. Meanwhile, the mainstream media useful idiots have gotten the smear into the discussion while The Obamination looks like he's taken the high road once again. His drooling, fawning Obamatons fall over themselves admiring their "above it all" Messiah and take his middle name for their own and start naming their kids Barrack and cursing anyone who doesn't see him as the savior of America.

That's why The Obamination can get away with lying and all his anti-American connections. The media is covering for him while his fawning brain dead supporters only see "CHANGE" n' "HOPE" and fist bumping his wild eyed nut case wife. Like comedian Ron White said: "You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever."

So you're saying Wesley Clarke is not under consideration for VP?

Are there any cool songs about a curb?

Nickleback has a song called "Curb." Not being a fan, I cant say if its cool or not.

It takes a village under the bus.....to usurp Barak.

A moose once bit my sister. Mind you, moose bites can be very nasty...

re: #87 tappin52

My eight year old grandson asked me , "If General Clark was so bad at his job, how did he get to be a General?" I still can't answer that one.

I could give you a very long explanation of how it is possible, but rest assured, it is. He is not a stupid man, it is possible (near certain, in fact) that he had political connections, people in power who liked his style and philosophy. Their is alot of politicking in advancing military officers. This isn't to say that good people don't get promoted, but it certainly means that officers who perhaps shouldn't be, are in fact, promoted.

Cypress Hill had a --ahem.. cough, hack, cough-- er, uhn.. ganja bus song:

Ganja Bus

[Damian Marley]
All aboard, and jump on the Ganja Bus
We now want the new weed, beat under us
Rollin' up, roll like we thunderous
Somkin' up, Rasta not sprinkle dust
Too much ecstasy, make manna exit us
Too much fantasy, here upon next to us
Fit in ganja weed, always notorious
Sucker censor me, if you feel glorious
We have weed in our cakes and Oreo's
Believe me though, death upon your Marlboro
You want my roll, on someone you hardly know
This Marley grow, no time to move feet
Make it slow, you tellin' me no
Say you want to start the show
Like cool, Johnny Depp and you want to blow
You shot, direct; that means you are far bellow
You start to take, substances up in your nose

[Chorus: Damian Marley - 2X]
No nina where you find me
Some boy go rich, blow ninety
We're smokin' like a genie
The skunky and the greenie

[B-Real]
On the ganja bus, they comin' after us
We makin' stops all over Los Angeles
On the block, where the weed that get scandalous
When we run around, police can't handle us
They wanna clout the bus, and on the top be us
They never wanna come around, just a rowdy bunch
Tengo el poder, tu no aguantas
Yo sé, que el juego es dificil para usted
Despiertate, no dejes tu gente ver
Tu situación cuando no puedes mantener
En fuerza que nosotros, enseñale
Deja tu vida sin rastros, escondete
Portate, we flyin' up tu saint tropez
And if you want we can jet through Montego bay

[Chorus: Damian Marley - 2X]
No nina where you find me
Some boy go rich, blow ninety
We're smokin' like a genie
The skunky and the greenie
Senn Dogg!

[Sen Dog]
Cuando fumo yo no juego, pásame el fuego
Me lo fumo todo, quememe los dedos
En la mańana cuando me levanto
Antes que nada, yo quemo un pipaso
Enamorado con la yerba buena
comida cubana y las nalgas morenas
todas las nenas saben que yo tengo
las colitas, vete en mi leńo
no hay nadie que me quite el vicio
marihuano por vida, oiste chico?
Mundo entero quiero que me entiende
La Cannabis es buena pa' tu mente

[Chorus]

[B-Real]
It's so hazardous
Take a strive with us
When it's over California, we react the bus
We fabulous, your talk don't mean jack to us
Better fear for your ass when disaster come
Pass ya' blunts, gonna have to mash it up
For you conniving mothaf**kers wanna stash it up
You actin' up, we can't have that's whats up
Listen Muggs on the table gonna slash it up

That bus gonna need a lift kit.

Maybe Obama needs an industrial shredder. I hear there is one available cheap in Iraq. Might need some work though, I hear it has a lot of hours on it. It was owned by a someone Obama might admire though, so there would be sentimental value to consider.......

Imagine having to listen to it for the next four years. SHUDDER!

McCain's campaign is definitely the small campaign with fewer bucks!

It's what mavericks & insurgents do.

OT: Again I'm getting emails from people about a claim that Google is shutting down anti-Obama blogs -- even though one of the main promoters of this claim is Larry Johnson's blog.

Anything from that site should set off very loud beeping from your BS detector, especially after the "whitey tape" hoax.

If, or when, the Gospel of the Obamassiah gets written down and turned in the Newer Testament, how many of the current Apostles of the "Holy Obama" will be prophesied as having been akin to Judas? Makes me wonder how Clark likes his 30 pieces of silver?

onslow,

Obama and Clark are pulling a 'good cop, bad cop' routine on the public.

More like "dumb cop, gaffe cop".

By the way, doesn't Wesley Clark look like the guy who played Ace Ventura's landlord in Ace Ventura, Pet Detective?

Truth is that there are men of poor character and huge ego who make it to the top in the military through subterfuge and wire brushing the crap out of their subordinates. Good news is that most of our military leadership are highly moral and amazingly capable individuals.

Then-Lieutenant General Wesley Clark poses for the camera in 1994, after holding an unauthorized meeting with the notorious Bosnian Serb war criminal, General Ratko Mladic. Clark is wearing Mladic's hat. A U.S. official likened it to "cavorting with Hermann Goering."

re: #173 Neo_

Wesley Clark, super genius.

He’s going a great job of getting Republicans and others who really don’t like McCain all that much to get a chance to really embrace him over an experience for which Obama has no equal.

I’ll assume that Wes Clark will be relegated to one of those low level staff positions from which all the Obama gaffes seem to emanate.

Clark, I'm sure, will have a position in Obama's White House: he'll be handing out towels in the Executive washroom.
