Alert: Big Dog & the idiot on CSPAN2

[BlueEyedSon]

at the whitehouse
unveiling of the Clinton Portrait....

[wndycty]

1. Beat me to it. . .

. . .I look forward to the day that President Kerry helps W unveil his portrait. . .about 3 years from now. . .LOL.

[KansDem]

58. "President Kerry helps W unveil his portrait"

Let's hope that takes place on a post office wall...

[wndycty]

2. Also whitehouse.gov. . .

. . .had better blast this thing. The Freepers must be dying that Bush has to praise Clinton. . .LOL

[BlueEyedSon]

3. Wow, Chelsea looks amazing!

Anyone know how I can contact her plastic surgeon?
TIA
:)

[NMDemDist2]

6. i think she just grew into her features

she looks great

[xxqqqzme]

22. agree, she looks like

her mother. The shot of the 3 of them in profile, w/ pickles mug thrown in, was great.

[Kanary]

14. Enough with the sexist, RW talking points!

She is not only beautiful, she is an amazing young woman who suffered horrible public attacks and has come through it with a poise and dignity not usually seen in people much older.

Give her some credit, and let's stop NOW with the put downs. She never deserved it, and doesn't now.

Kanary

[BlueEyedSon]

18. How does "she looks amazing" equal a "put down"?

Jesus!

[NMDemDist2]

25. it was the "plastic surgeon" remark that

sounded a bit off to me

[wndycty]

39. Yes the Freepers are on the plastic surgery kick. . .

. . .I hate it when some our DUer act the same way.

[Kahuna]

43. What if the plastic surgery remark is a statement of fact?

I think you are over reacting.

[BlueEyedSon]

53. Hello?? So she's had some work, MOST women in her position have

[Kanary]

48. I'm sure you're quite aware that crediting a surgeon for her looks

*IS* a putdown. It's just a continuation of the same garbage she was attacked with mercilessly as a teenager living in the WH.

And, Jesus! yourself.

Have the grace to look at what you wrote, understand how you are continuuing the same RW nonsense, and apologize for your thoughtlessness. Women do not solely exist for your appraisal of their looks.

Kanary

[BlueEyedSon]

54. Are you suggesting she hasn't?

Denying facts to suit your ideology is just as "Faith Based" as the current irrational maniac administration.

Fully 50% of women I know personally who come from a money, power or celebrity have some plastics. If you include women of that class whom I don't know personally (but who grace the pages if People, Us, etc) it's probably upwards of 90%.

Good thing too... a few of my friends are plastic surgeons and cosmetic dentists (ka-ching).

If you want to break the culture of superficially, petition Chelsea and complain to her about not going through life with her given face.

[Kanary]

57. I'm "suggesting" that you're going out of your way

to defend your insensitive and hurtful remark.

Spending this much energy debating a woman's looks is pandering to the same sexist garbage that has kept women down for so many generations.

Since you are clearly unwilling to look at your actions, and how it affects others, there is no more room for "debate".

This is the kind of internalizing of RW attacks that is hurting the Party.

Kanary

[BlueEyedSon]

60. RW attacks re: plastic surgery are the least of our problems

get serious

[Kahuna]

63. So now, talking about plastic surgery is 'hurting the party'????

Now I've heard it all! That's a bit overblown. Don't you think? Now we have thought police and PC police on DU???? Now people can't say what they think??? I hope not.

[ClassWarrior]

51. Don't act dense.

n/t

[peacetalksforall]

61. Well Rush was on top of the world with his audience when he attacked

Chelsea. The family handled it well in public. Now we have Rush - with no wife, drug problems, legal problems, ratings down in NY, more and more lies exposed, right wing in B I G trouble. Guess we'll see him going around to his fancy NY restaurants with his Cuban cigar and a blonde on his arm, quite soon.

[LTR]

62. Too bad that blonde won't be Chelsea!

[myomy]

4. junior is an embarrassment isnÕt he?

.

[wndycty]

5. Keep this kicked and make sure it gets picked up in the media. . .

. . .W is praising Clinton. In the coming months when they take the shots at the Big Dawg remind them of W's words.

[k in IA]

7. It is on all the cable news channels also.

[wndycty]

10. They will play all of W's comments and some of Clinton's

:kick:

[k in IA]

17. You are probably right. We will see.

[Neecy]

8. I'm shocked

So far, Bunnypants is being unusually gracious.

And yes, Chelsea looks great.

[Tellurian]

9. Ewwww. That has got to irk and irritate the current resident ...

Great!

[wndycty]

11. Don't forget his supporters. . .

LOL

[DaveSZ]

13. Damn

Kerry will have a hard time in the South.

:(

[Spazito]

12. Canadian News is covering it live too!

Canada loves Clinton, despises bush.

[mopaul]

15. bush is a 2 faced lying prick..................n/t

[Richardo]

16. The newest CBS sitcom: "Big Dog and the Idiot"

About a former President and his wacky misadventures with his trusty copy of a Dostoyevsky novel by his side. ;)

[BlueEyedSon]

19. Hers = GREAT, his = so-so

:(

[Lex]

20. Yep. He's more handsome than that

portrait seems to show.

[NMDemDist2]

24. it looked better at a different angle n/t

[xxqqqzme]

37. Hillary's portrait

is a better likeness than his. Why R they both standing? That is unusual.

[LittleApple81]

21. I worked hard for this face and I'll keep it a little longer! LOL

sigh... I want him back.

[ClassWarrior]

52. Do tell, LA, do tell...

I remember what it was like to have a real president.

[chimpymustgo]

23. Clinton speaking, not reading, unlike the Chimp.

Clearly Chimpy is picking up on the so-called (bullshit) Reagan legacy of bi-partisanship and humor. He was actually pretty good today - his writers did a better job than usual - and he delivered the material much better than usual. But Clinton is infinitely better.

[checks-n-balances]

31. I missed the chimp speech, but noticed that, interestingly, he appeared to

sincerely laugh at all of Big Dog's natural humor. At least he didn't sit there with a partisan scowl on his face!

[Kahuna]

40. He smirked when Bill mentioned 41's jump yesterday.

Real snarky smirk. :puke:

[checks-n-balances]

47. Interesting! Maybe Smirk's smirk was aimed at Poppy and not Bill

I missed that part.

[Kahuna]

26. Poor Hillary. She's sitting next to *.

:puke: :puke:

* just smirked when Clinton mentioned 41's jump. :puke:

[LittleApple81]

27. Did you hear, after he said that people that have been presidents are

good and decent people, etc. etc. he said he is LOOKING FORWARD to he time that it goes back to honest debate.

[Tellurian]

55. Oh yeah! Bush picked up on that right away...

I'm glad Bill didn't get taken in by the one time gracious host. Bill's indirect references to the cartoon caricatures, the chainsaw massacre and the little six yr old kid asking if he really WAS the president because he wasn't dead? (that remark sort of sent a chill throughout the room) I wondered if that was a preemptive strike to Bush and his Klansman..he must have inside info and wanted to project, he knows wht they're up to.

[Richardo]

28. Excellent WJC quote: "Get back to talking who's right and wrong..."

"Not who's good and bad..."

That's a smackdown, Rove, in case your wondering!

[Neecy]

29. he made a minor faux pas...

Unless I heard it wrong, when he said something to Bush* to the effect of, "...this happened to me in my second term, maybe it'll happen to you in yours..."

I don't think he quite meant to put it that way.

[LittleApple81]

33. God Laura's voice just sounds like nails on a blackboard after listening

to Hillary!!!!!

[k in IA]

36. Are you sure he included the words "in yours"? I heard him say that

but I thought he said "maybe it'll happen to you". But I'm not totally sure.

[Neecy]

42. I think so

When I heard it, I cringed because I imagined the Republicans jumping all over that comment. I'm pretty sure I heard 'in yours' (although I hope you're right).

[Richardo]

44. I didn't hear that - if he did say it went right past me.

[checks-n-balances]

45. That was a BIG faux pas! He'd better issue a statement of retraction

Hmm..maybe THAT is why W was laughing at Clinton's humor...

[Cheswick2.0]

30. thank you thank you

I think that is the same suit that Hilary had on when I saw her last week.

[wndycty]

35. All Laura can do and is qualified to do is invite everyone to lunch. . .

. . .in the State Dining room.

[Kahuna]

32. Ha! Did Hillary mention Babs? (list of former first ladies) If she..

did, I missed it. :puke:

[LittleApple81]

38. Yes she did... no particular praise (like "intent' for Eleanor, elegance

for Jackie)

[nostamj]

34. Pickles: "Many Visitors" ???

are they allowing the PEOPLE in the PEOPLE's house again?

or is she referring to the usual suspects? rich, white lobbyists?

[molly]

41. I watched on MSNBC

boy do I miss them! MSNBC cut off when Laura started speaking.

[Neecy]

46. I saw it (unfortunately) on CNN

And heard Schneider claim that if you thought the 1960's were positive, you're a Democrat, and if not, you're a Republican.

Like Bush* is some great symbol of the silent majority! A drunken cokehead who screwed everything that moved and avoided service in Vietnam. Yep, a real upstanding member of his generation. Feh.

[Tellurian]

49. Clinton looked quizzical at first...

certainly compliments, accolades and tributes are something new coming from the usually divisive republicans, especially a Bush.

I think Bill scrapped his notes and winged it throughout his speech. Bush changed the climate of the room in a vain attempt to appear Reaganesque. However, his true colors showed through in the end. Bush rose from his seat next to Clinton, and without a word to the guests of honor, abruptly made a beeline for the other side of the room, as soon as Laura said, "Lunch is served."

[NMDemDist2]

56. i noticed that too, who were those people over there

I rewound the TV but didn't recognize that couple

[Tellurian]

59. They looked like an older couple that may have retired from the WH staff..

don't really know, just guessing. The room was filled with former Clinton employees, friends and guests.

[robbedvoter]

50. The one thing that was not said about us - and many were said" - Hillary

I only tined in when she said that - was she talking about being patient to sit for the painter? . The portraits are actually excellent - especially Bill's.

[Catherine Vincent]

64. Will cspan re-air this? I hope so.
