So Rep. Anthony Weiner of NY - who is understandably upset that the Democrats were not able to take advantage of Mayor Bloomberg’s revealed weakness in yesterday’s election - made a somewhat passive-aggressive suggestion that the administration spent too much time on Jon Corzine and pretty much no time at all on Bill Thompson. Such things are inevitable in the aftermath of a lost election, particularly when it’s actually the aftermath of lost elections. The double hammer-blow of losing both Virginia and New Jersey’s governors’ seats is going to make a number of Democrats say some unfortunate things for a while. A prudent or experienced administration will let those things slide.
Fortunately for the GOP, the current one is neither.
“Maybe Anthony Weiner should have manned-up and run against Michael Bloomberg,” shot back a White House official, who attributed the night’s results across the board to anti-incumbent fervor.
…which apparently was not enough to actually eliminate the incumbent in NYC*, but never mind that right now. Anyway, if one is going to trade ‘maybes,’ here’s one: maybe the White House should stop letting people willing to act and talk like a thirteen-year-old speak for it? Even if it’s off the record.

*Including NYC’s - which I wasn’t, until this came up - there were five major races yesterday. Two had incumbents. One won, one lost.

Gee, isn't O an incumbent, speaking of fervor.

Nasty, juvenile, paranoid, dumb, clumsy, and power lusting, there, that will do it for now.
Ooops, better throw in shocked, depressed, and bitter.

This current sophomoric White House crew makes the Clinton mob look like the Algonquin Round Table by comparison.
Standard-bearer for grouchy curmudgeonry since, oh, 1975 or so.
They are just revealing themselves...
Carolynp Wednesday, November 4th at 4:22PM EST (link)When we saw the tantrum–like attacks on Fox News, didn’t we realize this is an administration lead by and filled with jerks? Just that simple. Give a far left liberal any power at all, and they will prove how much they cannot be trusted with any power at all.
Nice work again Moe.

Liberalism Cure
schellysway Thursday, November 5th at 9:06AM EST (link)Unfortunately oh so true. We will have to suffer our ‘forty years’ and let the current generation of Socialists’ die off. Of course that means that we die off as well, better start teaching the young ones well.
DO try this at home

Don’t leave it to public school teachers, who often can’t pass their own tests! If they simply teach the true history of the US (past being written by those who control the present, as per Orwell) and perhaps throw in some info about economics (so they will at least realize how badly the gov’t is screwing them), and math (for teen dope dealers and innocent bystanders, this can be a life or death issue!), public education (which I contend is an oxymoron) would be much improved.
If there are any “old school” teachers, I hope you old fogies will be teaching your students the way the old fogies taught me in the 60s and 70s. We couldn’t use calculators, so we learned to multiply by doing worksheets with triple multiplication and like that. Could your kid’s math teacher do what young children could do back in the early-mid 60s? (Can’t address a different time frame, because this is when I was in elementary school.)
Polls show that the “public” prefers dems on education issues, demonstrating ignorance concerning dems *and* education. It’s fallen… and it can’t get back up. Parents should do what virtually nobody does: talk to their children’s teachers. Note what’s on the walls of the classrooms, eg, re toilet training, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.” (They don’t note that because Gore cut the water in toilets by 50%, you have to flush twice these days. Net gain: zero. This was just a warm up exercise for Big Al before getting super-rich with the global warming hoax, WAY down on people’s list of biggest problems these days…but WILL be much higher up if Cap’n Tax gets passed.)
Contact your representatives in some fashion today if you will. This is the day when you can be part of a big impact on the House’s vote on Obamacare…and let ‘em know what they have to lose, eg, your vote, next year! They’re still limping from Tuesday’s elections. My dem rep is voting NO. I’ve made my call.
WHITE HOUSE UNGLUED ABOUT VOTING IN VA AND NJ
satireworks14 Thursday, November 5th at 11:35AM EST (link)For the many Americans who still don’t realize just how big an inferiority complex Bill Clinton had and why the term “shame-based control” was invented by Hillary (she knew every time Bill had sex and always feigned that she would expose him if he didn’t follow her lead), shortly after she and Bill left college, perhaps Obama will give you a second chance to understand Puppet Presidents.
Let me put it in terms any long time computer geek would understand. President Obama is “Vaporware 2.0″. A lot of promise that this new Operating System will correct all the mistakes of the past, but it never delivers. Obama is already in need of a series of drastic revisions because of his lies to Americans in general and to his Progressive Left supporters. The recent elections that utterly failed to rally his base prove even the hard core understand he is smoke and mirrors.
Maybe that’s where the idiotic comments from the White House are coming from. Disenchanted minions are wandering the halls wondering where their Utopia went in the last 12 months.
Is it any surprise that women like Valarie Jarret, Nancy Pelosi, Michelle Obama and others are so busy trying to micromanage everything (and hide who is really “in charge”), that occasionally they lose sight of the fact that some members of their team are just morons. Hey “girls”. Do you think some of the troops got sick on the “Kool-aid”?
