Happy birthday to "comedian" Rush Limbaugh! And, I found the perfect cake for him...
Many happy returns to him in an Obama administration!
On a much happier note, All in the Family debuted on this date in 1971. 1971 was such a good year! Sadly, in this "PC" age, there is no way a show like All in the Family could get made again.
Let's Countdown - beginning with an image to cleanse the visual palette from "the comedian's" birthday cake - even though I baked all day to make it! ;D
#5 "Exit Interview" AKA "Closing Argument" - Ladies & gents, today was GWB’s last "press conference." [insert standing "o" here!] I’ll repeat what I’ve said before; GWB looks terrible. Don’t forget the surge worked, y’all. The economic mess began before GWB was in the White House, so it’s not his fault. Don’t forget that, either. The "mission accomplished" banner was a "mistake"; "rhetoric" was a mistake. The Katrina response? Not a mistake – don’t forget that. House Repubs did call the Katrina response slow. Details...details...details... (Sorry gang, I had "technical difficulties" during some of this, so y’all feel free to fill in the gaps – thanks!) So, did GWB admit to torture? Hell, why not? DICK did because he knows that more – than – likely not a blessed thing will happen to him or anyone else who approved these "rough" interrogation techniques. Mr. Obama, prove me wrong!
#4 "Rewriting History" AKA "Exit, Stage Wrong" AKA "Burris in His Saddle" - THERE’S MY RICHARD WOLFFE!!
I wonder if he’ll miss covering that GWB White House? Nah...I don’t think so, either. ;D Ain’t it sweet that Richard can show any compassion (or reasonable facsimile thereof) for GWB? I’m not there yet. Roland Burris is going to be seated, and he’ll be primaried in 2010 because he accepted an appointment from a corrupt impeached Gov. Potty Mouth. Whatever...let’s get on with America’s business.
** The train service in Tempe, AZ had a close encounter with a truck. How would you like to be the person who had to put Bullwinkle in the harness? Why the f*ck not get married in a Taco Bell as long as they don’t honeymoon there? It wouldn’t be very sanitary to have a consummation on the prep table, ya’ know! ;D Ricky Henderson & Jim Rice are headed to Cooperstown. Bank robbers in Ohio are so darn polite because they stand in line with everyone else! **
#3 "Tortured Response" AKA "Bush Confesses, Without Torture" AKA "Tortured Logic" - Mr. Obama may issue an executive order as soon as next week ordering the closure of Gitmo. I’ll believe it when I see it; I’m sorry to sound like a cynic. GWB "admitted" to torture to FAUX News. Does that really count? KSM produced no actionable intelligence. Mr. Obama, so far, isn’t sounding like he’s on the prosecution bandwagon. THERE’S MY JONATHAN TURLEY! It is a good night for your Countdown diarist! ;D Eric Holder’s confirmation hearings later on this week could be darn interesting. The "actors" are speaking candidly because they know they probably won’t have to answer for what they’ve done unless another country decides to bring them up on charges. Wow, Professor Turley is so damn good & smart.
BUSHED! "Bailout – Gate" The other half of the bailout coin is going to be released, but Senator Dodd wants a whole lot of pesky details & rules attached. "ReWriting History – Gate" DICK says no one saw the economic mess or 9/11 coming. How ‘bout that response from the AP reporter?! ALL RIGHT! "Repainting History – Gate" The Smithsonian is going to fix the caption under GWB’s portrait – way to go, Senator Sanders!
WPITW – Britt Hume interviewed the Bush boys & probably had to restrain from self – pleasuring. Mr. Bull Snort is all over Grandma Gov. TurkeyLover’s "class warfare" shtick. Talk about your self – pleasuring... Here's some falafel he can have with a piece of "the comedian's" birthday cake...
Joe T. Plumber is a "war correspondent" in Israel & is ragging war correspondents. I dare him to show his plumber’s crack in the Gaza strip!
#1 "In the Hot Seat" - Keith was interviewed by the Times editorial board. I hope the BUSHED! segments do go on! Did Keith ask why Bill Kristol still has a job at the New York Times? And, when/where will we be able to see this interview? Hopefully before someone turns the big 5 - 0 two weeks from tomorrow? hee...hee...hee...
