Manny signs..uh..almost signs with Dodgers (Boston.com)
Damn Georgetown! (NY Daily News)
Mr. Big Shot goes for 34 in return to the D, Pistons still win (Freep.com)
Michael Steele…pink socks and flip flops. Why are these people afraid of Rush Limbaugh? Remember what this cat said about McNabb? I’d fight that dude in a cage (CNN.com)
Asteroid sorta-kinda-not-really passes close to Earth (CNN.com)
The world would be a better place if Rush Limbaugh stopped breathing. Michael Steele is Kermit the Frog come to life. Sarah Palin is the definition of a Blame-aholic. And Bobby Jindal is not my “Jai-Ho.”
I don’t know what that party is going to do come 2012. It’s leaders are all lost causes.
I’d be very particular about how RL checked out. I’d hate for him to become a martyr.
I’d prefer if he had a conversion…something along the lines of Saul of Tarsus…but I don’t see that on the horizon.
It would be ironic if he continued breathing, but lost his ability to communicate — no more talk shows, no more “books.” Zippo, zilch, nada.
Michael Steele is really a cartoon character. Now I know why Fox had to post his educational history going back to undergrad when he was announced as DNC chair. I’d never seen it before, but then again, I’ve never seen a national political party chair apologize to the host of a radio show. The Republicans are looking to turn the US into one big Hotel Rwanda where Rush points out the cockroaches. Michael Steele will be riding shotgun — until one day, he’s accidentally “mistaken” for a cockroach and gets squashed.
Michael Steele’s stature as a political leader has taken a severe hit. He is a punchline right now….and that apology to Rush was absolutely embarrassing..Steele may as well said to him….’can I shine your shoes, sir..’
Steele may have been better off attempting to start an ‘Independent’ Party or become a leader of an existing Reform Party and try to draw Independents and moderate Republican converts (1 out 4 Republicans don’t like Rush). Steele has no chance of reforming the GOP. Let Rush and Palin have it. Within 40 years, this country will be a minority-majority country. Steele should have learned some lessons from Colin Powell’s affiliation from years back that playing around with the Republicans is a losing proposition.
Temple3, I agree. We don’t want RL to be come a martyr. But he does need a muzzle surgically placed on his mouth for the rest of his natural life. Maybe that’d more efficient.
Michael Steele got straight Toby-fied for all the world to see. Absolutely astounding how punked the GOP was into letting the Dems turn Rush into their bonafide leader. What a really classic and simple move…..the party of family values and compassionate conservatism is now, for all practical purposes, being led by a really really bloated, blubbery, 3 times divorced, drug addicted college dropout. Just the visual alone of him in that all black get-up at the CPAC conference on Sat…..(so much for the theory that black is “slimming”)…looking like Exhibit A of what a triple bypass patient looks like….he was wheezing…huffing and puffing…..and that’s the leader? LMAO!
Ray Lewis resigned with the Ravens.
TO was dropped by the ‘Boys tonight.
I knew there was a strong chance that Owens would be let go, because Jerry Jones wanted to give Tony Romo (who has two strikes due to previous choke jobs) and his ‘favorite’ receiver Jason Witten a chance to bond without T.O. being a weekly distraction…
New England wouldn’t dare try to sign Owens..? Would they? Moss. Owens. This decade’s bad biys tamed by Belicheck and Brady…
Miranda – wanted to say something, but you said it. And like Mizzo said, why are these cats all doing a Godfather tribute to a drug-addicted, intellectually dishonest man? Other thing is, do any of you really think guys like Rush and Coulter, etc. believe this crap? The party of limited government, of the separation of powers, would not recognize these guys.
I guess my point is that if Rupert Murdoch was paying these guys, and it was profitable, to promote more progressive, grown-up policies, Rush Limbaugh, David Brooks, Ann Coulter, all these knuckle-heads, would be the first ones on that bandwagon.
