It's "time for culture and reason instead of atomic bombs", says Members Only. I'm sure Larry will call him on his threats against Israel, Qods Force operating in Iraq, etc., right? And then the Tooth Fairy will drop by.

And through it all, everyone kisses up to Larry King to be on his show. I don't get it. He doesn't interview people so much as give 'em free advertising.

CNN laughs all the way to the bank, and they couldn't care less what Ahmadinejad said just as long as the ratings come in.

Is it just me or are you actually glowing a bit?
Boy I know one thing, that Ayatollah guy from Iran was sure a thorn in Ronald Reagan's side huh?
I read earlier that Iran is actually called the Islamic Republic of Iran? What was the inspiration for the name change?
So who were you rooting when you watched The 300? And Is it just me or was that Xerxes guy really handsome? I bet the ladies love him back home huh?
So whatever happened to Persia? I can't find it on my globe?
So have you ever weaved a carpet?
Does your wife like to shop as much as mine does?
Is it just me or do you seem taller on TV?

Its probably for the best that I'm not watching right now, since nothing could prepare me for the sheer vapidness of the fluffball questions King is tossing at the leader of a regime who has been fighting a war with the United States through its proxies for the last 28 years.

MSM is clueless. Hillary would be Democrat nominee if it wasn't for the MSM bias toward Obama. So the now the Democrats are beginning to find they have a very weak candidate with the Obama/Biden ticket. Notice how all the campaign signs in front of the houses simply say "Obama". Biden was an extremely poor choice and Hillary would be just as bad. IF a Obama/Hillary ticket is possible and Obama won, he would probably probably be shaking in his boots at the thought of ruthless Hillary putting a "hit" on the prez. Instant President Hillary, with Nancy Pelosi vice-president.

Larry King should have invited Sean Penn to be on the program with DinnerJacket so that Sean could read the notes he took furiously while in Iran as fanatics were chanting to him.

They renamed their country from Persia to Iran in 1935 in support of Hitler.

The name Iran is a cognate of Aryan, and means "Land of the Aryans"

re: #86 LoFlyer

MSM is clueless. Hillary would be Democrat nominee if it wasn't for the MSM bias toward Obama. So the now the Democrats are beginning to find they have a very weak candidate with the Obama/Biden ticket. Notice how all the campaign signs in front of the houses simply say "Obama". Biden was an extremely poor choice and Hillary would be just as bad. ...

I saw an Obama/Biden sticker on a car this evening. The Obama was bright white and visible from a long distance. Biden was a pale white/gray and unreadable form more than a car length or so back.

Yeah, Biden was a poor choice and is being marginalized. Dumb Democrats.

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened,'" Barack Obama's running mate recently told the "CBS Evening News."

I think Biden's building a case to get off the ticket in favor of Hillary.

King : Favorite blogs?

King : So let's talk about the events that broke up your family. You guys didn't mean to kill anyone, did you?

Manson : Ummm. We wanted those piggies to die, Larry.

King : But you were all high. Those were the drugs, right?

Manson : We wanted to kill them to start the -bleep- revolution, Larry.

King : But only because you were high, right?

Manson : Wrong. I am not high now and want to kill piggies and start the revolution, Larry.

Then a buddy asked me, "How do you know him?"

"Who?"

"Dude, that's Krist Novoselic from Nirvana."

If I'd know that at the time, I'd have had at least another half hour on how Seattle ripped off the Minneapolis Sound.

Decent guy. Took shit from some geek he didn't know.

...For years, the Wall Street Journal has been warning that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taking reckless chances, but liberal Democrats especially have pooh-poohed the dangers.

Back in 2002, the Wall Street Journal said: "The time for the political system to focus on Fannie and Fred isn't when we have a housing crisis; by then it will be too late." The hybrid public-and-private nature of these financial giants amounts to "privatizing profit and socializing risk," since taxpayers get stuck with the tab when high-risk finances don't work out.

Similar concerns were expressed in 2003 by Gregory Mankiw, then chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers to President Bush. But liberal Democratic Rep. Barney Frank criticized Mankiw, citing "concern for housing" as his reason for supporting Fannie Mae. Barney Frank said that fears about the riskiness of Fannie Mae were "overblown."

Maxine Waters and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus have also been among the liberal Democrats defending Fannie Mae. Just last year, Sen. Charles Schumer advocated legislation to allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to increase their already huge role in the mortgage market. Republican Rep. Mike Oxley has also defended these hybrid financial giants.

Both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been generous in their contributions to politicians' political campaigns, so it is perhaps not surprising that politicians have been generous to them.

This is certainly part of "the mess in Washington" that Barack Obama talks about. But don't expect him to clean it up. Franklin Raines, who made mega-millions for himself while mismanaging Fannie Mae into a financial disaster, is one of Obama's advisers. ...

I started a search and came across this first:

McCain Aide’s Firm Was Paid by Freddie Mac

And a typical comment:

can't wait to hear McGrumpy explain this away
Payments continued for what? Because he's on the McCain campaign?

The DUmmies are COMPLETELY unaware that Obama is the #2 recipient in the entire congress of Fannie Mae contributions. The numbers are tracked between 1989 and 2008...19 years of contributions, and Obama with his 4 years in the senate, 2 of which he has been actively been campaigning for president, has managed to secure the second most amount of money from Fannie Mae, which successfully avoided tough regulations and scrutiny of its lending mortgage practices. Democrats killed the measure in committee. And nearly brought down the economic system of the Western hemisphere last week. Think about that as you read the absolute clueless comments by the incompetents at DUmmieland. I haven't seen such blatant lying about any event since Clinton got caught with that large and in-charge intern. Gotta love election season.

Bill Clinton is really making the rounds of TV shows this week.

On all of these shows, he's saying nice things about John McCain and Sarah Palin while also admitting that he's supporting whats-his-name.

In a clip from Letterman, a guest afterward (Chris Rock?) said that Clinton seemed to be avoiding mentioning Barack Obama's name.

So, Bill Clinton is supporting He Who Must Not Be Named?

It must be infuriating for the Democrats to see Clinton saying nice things about McCain and Palin while the liberal op-eds are attacking McCain/Palin in every way they can find.

If ever there was a time for Bubba's face to turn purple in rage, surely the Dems think NOW IS IT! Bubba should be purple in rage against Sarah Palin, her children, Alaska, snowmobiles, eye glasses, and sweet little girls who smooth their baby brothers' hair down on national TV.

Bill Clinton is just smiling and saying how much he likes the Palin children.

Dems must be wondering how things could have turned out this weird for them in 2008.

I don't know, but I know what I can afford and what I can't. The largest single expense in my budget is the mortgage. How hard is it to figure out?

Geez, I don't know everything about mortgages, even though I've bought two houses and refinanced the first one once and the second one twice, and have also bought and sold a rehab property. But y'know, it's like, "OK, we have exactly this much coming in. Subtract groceries, gas, utilities, car payments, saving for retirement and tuition, school clothes & supplies for the kids, entertainment, etc. What we have left is how much we have to spend on the mortgage (being sure to figure in the escrow payment)."

Sarah Palin is Stupid! "What does the VP do all day?" (paraphrasing here as best I can remember - ctp) 8-1-08

I have no idea if that quote/paraphrase is accurate or not but if it is, I'd bet 1 million quatloos that it was taken out of context.

re: #398 MandyManners

In my admittedly very limited observations, I've noticed that cars with liberal bumper stickers have lots more bumper stickers than virtually anyone else. I remember seeing an old van having (no joke) 30 bumper stickers on the back with stuff like "Beware the American Taliban". I remember as an undergrad in college seeing little cars have about 10-15 bumper stickers with sayings like "Peace is Patriotic" and "Impeach Bush".

/I guess the left thinks that the more bumper stickers they have, the better they'll get their message across.

I was hoping all the time that Larry King would choke and expire on the air.

What absolute scum he and CNN are. King seems to have forgotten that he is a Jew-I can imagine that President Assmadinejad would love to see him incinerated with all of the Jews in Israel. Larry makes a fine Kapo.

re: #405 Catttt

Yeah. I was totally tickled with his comments on Mr. Palin. And 'tis true - you cannot call a guy who completes 500 miles of a snow machine race with a broken arm anything but a manly man.

AND yeah - President Clinton masterfully got in some good shots at Barry during that part of the interview without actually mentioning Barry. He is really, really good at that.

He is indeed, and how sweet it is that the Dems are now having to deal with Clinton doing to them, what he (and all the rest of 'em) did to Repubs for so many years.

Pelosi, Reid - they all keep trying to be Bill Clinton, but he is one of a kind.

The ratio of Obama Fandom to Having Absolutely No F-ckin' Common Sense is almost 1:1. I've run into this at work and away from it, on the road, in stores, etc. You name it. Too many stories or small incidents to recall.

An update on Dog. She is in the doggy hospital in an oxygen incubator. She has congestive heart failure and we are praying she comes through this without suffering. Vet said we'll know more tomorrow. Vet also said she may only live a few more months. I've decided that I'm not putting her through anymore tests. I just want them to treat what they can and make her comfortable. I'm not going to make her suffer for me. It was hard enough to leave her there tonight. I just called and they say she is doing pretty good.
That little girl is my fur baby and even though she is not a guide dog, she knows how to take care of me. She will walk me around things, shows me the cutout curbs and lets me know if there is something coming our way.
Thanks to all who said a little prayer for my Meggie.

Look. This sort of stuff came up on an earlier thread today and Charles had to delete a whole bunch of nast posts.

LGF users don't stoop to the level of KOS and DU, and we don't leave remarks that can be taken and plastered over other blogs and used against us.

My sensibilities have nothing to do with it, it's Charles' rules, it's his blog, and we have to ability to self-monitor the entries. That's why we can vote a post up or down or report it to Charles.

So, don't argue with me, speak to Charles if you don't like it.

Bill could have been such a great man. He looks Presidential. Sometimes he even acted Presidential. He supported free trade in the face of massive protests and riots.

If he'd only grown up in a different era, and hadn't been so self-serving and power-hungry and skirt-chasing. Arkansas is a great Heartland state with great people. If Bill had only embraced their values instead of East Coast values, the way Truman (Missouri) and Eisenhower (Kansas) always remained true to their roots.
