Obama camp: Hillary Clinton is a monster!



In what can only be a moment of madness during an interview with The Scotsman, Samantha Power, Obama's normally extremely bright key foreign policy aide, let slip the camp's true feelings about the former First Lady.

Her comments came as Sen. Obama, whose ass-whuppin' in Texas and Ohio were being blamed on the negative attacks on him, vowed to turn up the heat on Sen. Clinton over her claims to be the more experienced candidate, e.g., the person you want answering The Red Phone At 3:00 A.M.

Ms Power told The Scotsman Clinton would stop at nothing to seize the lead from Obama.

"We f***** up in Ohio," she admitted. "In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio's the only place they can win. "

"She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything," Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark.

The bogtrotter Powers has really stepped in it this time. Click here to read the entire article in The Scotsman.

TSA Gangstaz

Thanks to Doc., who posted this video on his Random Blts blog.

As someone who has been male-assisted and patted down 86 times by the TSA in the last 14 months, I can relate to this vid.

Namasté, all this is that readers! I bow to you.



When I wrote a long compendium of gestures and signs last year, many of them were pejorative or downright vulgar. The finger, the wanker, the cuckoo sign, the choke sign, rock horns, the shaka sign, and many more did not include such a beautiful and sweet sign as Namasté. It is pronounced, I think, Nahmus Tay.

Namasté in both word and gesture denotes deep respect and is used in Nepal and India by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists. Many emigrants still use the words and gesture, wherever they end up. And why shouldn't they? What a sweet thought, and gesture.

In Indian and Nepali culture, the word is spoken at the beginning of written or verbal communication. However, the same hands folded gesture is made wordlessly upon departure. The word comes from the Sanskrit (namas): to bow, and (te): "to you."

When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. The gesture alone has the same meaning. I guess if you say it as well, you're giving them a double dose.

You have to admit this sure beats the averted eyes walking down the hall in your Office Space or CubeLand, or the quick nod, a microsecond pupil lock-on and the word "hey." Give someone a Namasté today!

Obama On The Grill: Is the Saturday Night Live skit actually affecting the aggressiveness of reporters?


"You know, I've just about had it with you nosy press c**ksuckers"
OK. He didn's say it. But I bet he was thinking it.


The New York Daily News reported today in an article by Michael Saul on an Obama press conference in San Antonio where the press treated Barack like a panini.

"An exasperated Barack Obama scurried away Monday from the toughest news conference of his campaign, telling reporters who kept shouting questions that he'd spent enough time on the grill."

"Come on! I just answered, like, eight questions," Obamaa looking a little stunned, told shouting reporters as he fled the room. "We're running late."

The Clinton campaign and others have often said [ed's note: we think so too] that The Press regularly puts a blowtorch to Clinton as they lob softballs and creampuffs Obama's way.

First, they grilled him on his secret emissary to Canada, who told Canadian officials to ignore his babbling about NAFTA...the Obama emissaries essentially told the Canadians that all this dissing NAFTA was just to get votes, and that, once elected, it would be business as usual.

Obama last week categorically denied waffling on NAFTA, but after a Canadian official blew the scam, Obama admitted, "well, shucks, I guess we did send someone to Canada, after all." "When I gave you that information, that was the information that I had at the time," he said. [ed note: Richard Nixon moment No. 1].

Next up, the jackals of the press hit him once again on his troubling relationship with the corrupt, and soon to be convicted fun-raiser Tony Rezko, who went on trial in Chicago Monday on corruption charges. I find the issue troubling too, more for Obama's response than and possible crimes and miosdemeanors he committed. He is from Chicago, isn't he?

Onr reporter asked Obama why he was ducking the charges about Rezko?

Obama insisted he had told all at a news conference in Chicago media. "These requests, I think, can just go on forever. ..." and that he had furnished the pertinent information. [ed note: Richard Nixon Moment 2 - I bet I can come up with that exact same quote from Richard Nixon, who often insisted during the throes of Watergate that he had bent over backwards to povide information and that The Senate and reporters were being unreasonable.]

After a few more hardballs, Sen. Obama announced the press conference was finished. And one reporter shouted that he was dodging questions after claiming he wasn't.

Bill Clinton endorses Barack Obama for President, announces he is splitting the sheets with Hillary



Bill Clinton endorses Barack Obama for President, announces he is splitting the sheets with Hillary

By Pablo Fanque,
All This Is That national affairs editor
reporting from San Antonio, Texas

At a press conference this morning with Sen. Barack Obama, former President Bill Clinton announced to stunned reporters that he was endorsing Obama for President. The former president also disclosed that he will be separating from his wife. "It's probably one of the worst kept secrets on the beltway that Hillary will be divorcing me after she is elected. Or drops out of the race. Honestly, whenever that happens is immaterial. But I did want to stand up today and support Barack as he heads into these last 20 contests."

The press corps shouted repeated questions as the former President shooks hands with Obama, told the press "I'll see you on the campaign trail," and left the podium.

Robert Porter wants to photograph Hillary Clinton naked--for a cool million!



It's always fun when a nut job from Seattle makes news--like one of the UFO organizations, one of the porn gurus, Paul Allen, and many more. . . .but Robert Porter takes the cake this week. At least he did until this morning, when a wacko eco-terrorist group burned down four mansions on a "Street of Dreams" in the suburbs near Seattle.

Retired dot com entrepreneur wants Hillary Clinton naked. Robert Porter--who seems to be a Seattle, or northwest, DotCom gazillionaire wants Senator Clinton to pose nude for a "series of tasteful, artistic nude photos." He offered $750,000 and later raised the ante to $1,000,000.

Porter says he has a point to make about sexually repressed America.

Name: Bob
Age: 56

"I am a retired entrepreneur who thrived during the prosperous years of the Clinton administration. Because I feel I have a debt to President and Senator Clinton, I am making a radical, "out of the box" proposal to her which I think will enhance her stature to people around the world, especially women.

I am offering Senator Clinton $750,000 to pose for a series of tasteful, artistic nude photos. I am NOT talking about pornography; these would be tasteful photos which would show Senator Clinton as an older woman who is fully in control of her body and her sexuality.President Hillary Clinton would represent a new direction for America and these photos would serve to demonstrate her commitment to that new brave, bold direction.

Why Obama and Hillary both suck on the issue of gay marriage




Barack Obama "supports civil unions," but is against gay marriage. In an Chicago Daily Tribune interview, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman." [ed note: does this sentence make any more sense to you than it does to me?]


"Giving them a set of basic rights would allow them to experience their relationship and live their lives in a way that doesn't cause discrimination," Obama said. "I think it is the right balance to strike in this society." [ed. note: isn't this the same sort of argument people once used for why blacks should not be able to vote?]

Hillary Clinton also opposes gay marriage and supports civil unions between members of the same sex. Hillary was quoted in The New York Daily News saying: "Marriage has got historic, religious and moral content that goes back to the beginning of time, and I think a marriage is as a marriage always has been, between a man and a woman." [ed note: only slightly more palatable gibberish that her opponent].

Marion Cotillard, Oscar winner/wack job

Marion Cotillard, is good looking, yes. She can act, yes. But she also believes the US government was responsible for the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks, and believes the moon landing in 1969 was performed on a sound stage.

The actress made comments questioning government–issued reports regarding the September 11th attacks and Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong's trip to the moon during an interview with the French Paris Premiere — Paris Derniere (Paris First — Paris Last) which aired about a year ago.

"I think we're lied to about a number of things," the Oscar winning French actress said of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the newspaper reports. "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes, are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

Apropos the twin towers, she said: "It was a money – sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re – cable all that, to bring up to date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them."

"Did a man really walk on the moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don’t believe all they tell me, that’s for sure," Marion said.
