[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[bleever]

1. Best. Thread. Title. Ever.

:rofl:

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. Why, thank you.

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

48. I must add my belated kudos.

"No, Joan, we cannot talk..at least not when you're cracking jokes in the screening area."

[GigiMommy]

60. ...

:applause: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

2. Hi Patsy! Great tread title!

And oooooooh, but Mr. President is pissed off! I hope he kicks the asses of anyone and everyone who played a part in the "no-communication" screw up that lead to Mr. Underpants trying to blow a plane out of the sky.

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

8. Try the veal!

I hope some heads roll. This should have all been taken care of long ago. What was the purpose of the 9/11 Commission anyhow? Oh, right... nothing.

[SeattleGirl]

9. I think their purpose was to provide more cover for Bush/Cheney.

[Berry Cool]

17. There ain't underpants big enough

to cover both those butts.

[SeattleGirl]

19. Agreed!

Especially Cheney's!

10. Chertoff Exploits Detroit Plane Bomb to Stir up Business for Client

Chertoff Exploits Detroit Plane Bomb to Stir up Business for Client
Tuesday, January 05, 2010
Former Homeland Secretary Michael Chertoff has been all over the airwaves since the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day, advising the nation that it should invest in full-body scanners for airports. What Chertoff failed to mention in numerous television interviews is that his consulting business currently represents the company, Rapiscan Systems, that makes the scanners.

Chertoff first became familiar with Rapiscan’s technology while running the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under President George W. Bush. In 2005, Chertoff’s agency purchased 40 body scanners for installation at 19 U.S. airports. He then left the administration and formed his own security consulting business, the Chertoff Group.

Earlier this year, the DHS’ Transportation Security Administration (TSA) purchased 150 machines from Rapiscan for $25 million, and in the wake of the Christmas Day incident, TSA is expected to buy another 300 scanners.

[SeattleGirl]

11. This just pisses me off!

The Republicans have absolutely NO shame in exploiting stuff like this! :grr:

[Botany]

16. Sadly my guess is that somebody or some group of buddies made this ....

.... happen on purpose. Too many loose ends in the cover story.

[Berry Cool]

20. Well, the only good thing about it is

it's resulted in Keith and Richard Wolffe saying "cock" repeatedly throughout the evening.

[Botany]

27. At least they didn't talk about a cock fight

[SeattleGirl]

23. The idea that these assclowns would use American people in

such a way (fodder for bombers) just sickens me!

[Botany]

31. I hope Obama use this as a wedge to expose those shits to the world ...

.... Dick Cheney used 9/11 to make money in Iraq.

bottom line they are evil and don't give shit one about the American people.


BTW Did I ever tell you that you are my Fave?

[SeattleGirl]

33. He IS evil!

[CBHagman]

41. Gosh, Chertoff really is the gift that keeps on giving...

...sort of like herpes or phlebitis. We had him around during impeachment and he never really quite went away.

[Botany]

45. Can't forget his big help during Katrina.

The man is equal to Rummy, Cheney, and Rove.

[Patsy Stone]

64. And, as if it's possible, he looks the least alive of all three.

:scared:

[CBHagman]

67. To be blunt...

...I know people with a decade or more on him who look much, much younger.

[Patsy Stone]

42. How come Rudy's not involved somehow?

Is he losing his touch?

[ralps]

3. Hi Patsy! Hi Everyone!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hey Pats, the pic you posted isn't opening.

[Patsy Stone]

5. Fixed!

:hi:, SG!

[SeattleGirl]

7. Cool!

[Botany]

13. Careful when you talk about "fixing"

[Patsy Stone]

39. Aw...

Good boy!

:hi:, Bot!

[WolverineDG]

12. Wow, that stupid rule gets applied to a Rich & Famous Person

who probably started doing the whole "Don't you know who I am?" routine. Good, glad to see that cow get a small bit of comeuppance.

dg

[Berry Cool]

15. I look forward to special airport screenings for Paula Abdul and Muhammad Ali.

:hi: Sorry to be late, but didn't want to miss Keith's first Comment.

[SharonRB]

14. Hi, everyone!

:hi:

That definitely is a great thread title, Pats.

:hi:

[Botany]

21. How about them Buckeyes?

[Berry Cool]

50. Pay no mind to him, Sha-Sha.

Bot just loves to rub it in. :-)

[PSzymeczek]

62. Oh, yeah!

I'm with you, Bot!

[SharonRB]

18. So, who thinks Ed should run for Dorgan's seat?

I'm sorry to see him retire.

[SeattleGirl]

24. Ed?

[Patsy Stone]

25. That's a great idea!

Then I wouldn't have to listen to him. :hi:, Shar!

[SharonRB]

54. It would free up a slot on liberal talk radio!

[Patsy Stone]

65. Right!

:toast:

[WolverineDG]

26. He can't

he's lived for 2 years in Minnesota & to run in ND, he'd have had to live there for the past 5. :( but yeah, he'd kick ass & take names.

Congrats, sell-out Senate Dems.....we're really fucked now.

dg

[SharonRB]

55. You sure know how to burst a girl's bubble, don't you?

Sounds like you've done some research on this.

[WolverineDG]

57. No, just caught the part of Ed's show

where one of his guests told him he should run.

Made me cry, too. :(

dg

[Patsy Stone]

22. Steele is just a font of comic genius.

What a buffoon. I saw the Hardball interview earlier. Wow. He's six ways to stupid.

[bleever]

28. "Honest Injun"!

:rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

30. He told Chris

He's "street". :rofl:

[bleever]

46. I think he meant

"Sesame Street".

[Berry Cool]

29. Keith thinks he's in love with the ex-Fox staffer!

What's the matter, Keith, trouble in paradise? :rofl:

[Patsy Stone]

32. Not to mention

I'm sure somewhere, sometime, one of us must have made the FOX News/trailer trash comparison. Ha-rummph!

[Berry Cool]

34. RIP, Rory Markus.

:( Wow, Keith really is choked up.

[GigiMommy]

35. Hello.

Too many people in the Sports world are passing away.:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

36. Hi Gigi

:hi:

[GigiMommy]

51. Hi SG!!!

:hi:

[Berry Cool]

37. Hi, GGM and Cassie.

:hi: Yes, and Keith probably worked with them all.

[GigiMommy]

53. Hi Berry!!!

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

38. "Britstorm"

LOL! Good job caption department.

[SeattleGirl]

40. Gah! Brit Hume needs to go the freak away!

Yep, Faux Snooze is turning into the 700 Club.

[Botany]

43. Shut up Brit

Brit can speak for jesus? :puke:

[Patsy Stone]

44. You didn't hear?

:crazy:

[Botany]

47. Welton Rocks!

[SeattleGirl]

49. He does! I love listening to him.

A southern preacher with a brain!

[Berry Cool]

52. It's getting harder and harder to just have Keith on in the other room.

What used to be a mere bumper tease is now a Comment!

[Berry Cool]

59. Ah, if only one could truly say "That's All, Folks!" about Karl Rove.

Oh, and Rachel Marsden has already shown more fiction-writing skill in that small excerpt of her novel than did Billo "Say, Put Down That Pipe and Get MY Pipe Up" O'Reilly in a whole book.

[Patsy Stone]

66. He really does.

He's just so darned sensible!

[ralps]

56. Today's worst person in the world is Karl Rove for bitching about Obama not

commenting on the Underpants Bomber for 3-4 days whereas Georgie didn't comment on the Shoe Bomber for 6+ days!! :hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :wtf:

[SeattleGirl]

58. Feh!

Rove needs a dirty sock stuck in his mouth!

[SharonRB]

61. Okay, KO's writers outdid Patsy

Facial profiling. :rofl:

And, reality bites...

[Patsy Stone]

63. Hi-larious!

"If I was going to pick an alias, it wouldn't be Rosenberg. I'd pick Jolie or Pitt." :rofl:
