WTF, Joe? Why on earth would you broadcast that you

[cali]

used to call the conductor to hold the train for you for a minute or two? No, I'm not saying it's a big deal, but it is handing ammunition to the pukes.

[GarbagemanLB]

1. I really don't think it is an issue.

[Eurobabe]

2. chill out cali

there's bigger fish to fry. :hi:

[TTUBatfan2008]

3. Your concern is noted...

:P

[Hanse]

4. It was bait to make freepers look like first class assholes...

when they tried to make an issue out of it.

[Trajan]

7. QED ...

No further comment necessary ....

[blonndee]

27. Hee!

:toast:

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. If that was the worst thing we have to worry about you might have a point

[Phx_Dem]

6. No problem. He's a U.S. Senator who chooses to take the

train instead of using gas and polluting the air by driving himself. He sets a great example, and I think they can wait a minute or two for him.

[Lex]

17. and I believe he's been instrumental in keeping Amtrak alive and in business

all these years . . .

[SheilaT]

8. When I worked at Washington National Airport

we would occasionally hold a flight for a couple of minutes to allow a member of Congress to make it. Never very long, however/

[lamp_shade]

9. Oh. It's you.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Amtrakholdaminutegate will destroy the Obama presidency. nt

[cali]

11. wow. I actually said that? who knew? Oh, you did.

I just think it's something the pukes will pounce on.

[Occam Bandage]

13. I don't really think they will.

Maybe I'm just huffing the hope extra hard today, but that would be ridiculously petty even by their standards, such as they are.

[Warren Stupidity]

12. THIS IS SERES IM HUGH

[polichick]

25. Guess I'm pop culture challenged, but where did this expression come from?

[Warren Stupidity]

26. It is more DU cultural injokes re our friends over on the dark side at FR.

I've mangled "THIS IS HUGH IM SERIES!!!!!!11!1111", or "BRAKING HARD!! THIS IS HUGH AND SERIES!!".
For example: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1933896/posts

Although even FR seems to be using it as a joke these daze.

[polichick]

32. So they made it up?

[Warren Stupidity]

33. originally they were SERIES!1!1!!1 which is the joke.

self deprecating humor over on the dark side is quite unusual.

[Ichingcarpenter]

14. Have you ever taken AmTrek? A Two Minute hold up is bad?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'm surprised it was on time.

[Sugarcoated]

16. That's what I was thinking

I took trains,trolleys and buses in Philly for years and a couple minutes is nothing. I loved the comment.

[Lex]

15. The pukes can go screw themselves. I don't care what they think one bit.

They will make an issue out of ANYTHING, so let's not fret about every little thing.

[book_worm]

18. I doubt it's an issue anymore.

[Hieronymus]

19. We all knew what we were getting with Biden ... a big mouth for one thing.

[rufus dog]

20. It gives Hannity and Rush something to bitch about

Which is good. Let them keep focusing on the minutia to display their ignorance to all.

By the way I watched the new Hannity show for a good 45 minutes last night, I owe Alan Colmes an apology. I didn't think Hannity could be any worse, but his new show format is a step below a free access cable show.

[crimsonblue]

21. that bastard.

[Barack_America]

22. Every time Republicans complain about it they will have to highlight why Joe took that train.

I doubt they'll want to do that.

[Cha]

24. Good point.. "Amtrak" would

get in people's conciousness. We can't have that..but, I'm not sure :wtf: they have against trains?

[H2O Man]

23. insignificant

[Jennicut]

28. The country has bigger fish to fry. Its a non-issue.

[rvablue]

29. I've had a conductor hold a train for me ... and I've never been a Senator... geesh

the man rode the train almost every day of his life for 30 years.....whatev.

[Thickasabrick]

30. So much outrage here today about "stuff". Kinda odd.

[dionysus]

34. there is, but cali is most definately *not* a member of the poutrage brigade

[Waiting For Everyman]

31. It's not enough that the Senator took a train to work?
