Please, Mr. President, do it tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning.

Teabag the teabaggers! Or something like that.

1. Curious if obligated to protect US, as Spain is making noises about filing suit.

Which group is behind this "non-partisan" issue?

Like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Newt Gingrich.

6. So what kind of tea would you recommend with pizza?
Earl Grey? Green with lemon? Or one of those new herbal teas with pomegranate juice in it?

Or is it your balls in somebody else's mouth?

I'm trying to figure out what all the fuss is about "teabagging" all of a sudden.

Especially not now, while we have troops in the field.

Edited on Tue Apr-14-09 02:26 AM by Kitty Herder
It is a curable condition you know. You can do something about it. Start with the magic google machine. The first thing I would look up if I were you would be the definition of teabagging. Then move on to the imaginary train between Vegas and Disneyland. (Not a half-bad idea, really. Have you driven I-15 across the Mojave when all the Californians are on a mass exodus to Vegas? But I'm afraid it's a product of Bobby Jindal's overactive imagination.)

14. Americans are outraged by..a congress that wastes money faster than we can earn it indeed
That is why we elected Obama to get the bushites out of power and try to turn this huge deficit around.

15. The problem with teabagging...
is that you get a lot of hair in your mouth. It's best to shave the scrotal sack before you have it put in your mouth. That way you're not pulling hairs out of your teeth at supper time.

BTW, I hope you enjoy pizza. I have a feeling you'll be getting one soon...

17. How do you go about shaving
a scrotum? Do you use shaving cream, and pull it taut and shave? Seems like it would be a difficult place to shave.

do you slather pizza sauce and cheese on your scrotal sack to make a teabag pizza? Or do you literally put teabags on a pizza?

19. Where were you and the teabaggers from 2001 to 2009
when Bush ran up almost 10 trillion dollars in budget and current account deficits? Now you're upset with a few million in pork projects, nearly half of which are republican pork projects. Oh, and the the so called Harry Reid train you mention is not in the budget.

28. Easy question.
They were standing up on their hind legs laughing like hyenas about their "popular wartime president," "war against Islamofascism," "ownership society," "gubmint in the bathtub" melange of recycled, morally bankrupt, pragmatically idiotic efforts to gut American democracy, and laughing more gratingly still at how the "mainstream librul media" parroted every Heritage Foundation talking point, retrieving it lovingly from the fax machine like the latest transmission from the burning Bush.

These wretched little fucks don't know history, civics, current events or anything else. They just mouth empty Rush-inspired platitudes. But please don't disturb them. They actually think if they just raise their voices a little more and repeat the same stale bromides a few more times, they'll find their way back from the electoral wilderness. Poor little puds that they are...

37. Kazoonga. Meant here as high praise. It's a term Edgar Rice Burroughs
might have had Tarzan utter to mean, "Whoa is that excellent or what."

Lindsey Graham and Jim Inhofe better be praying hard they never have to go up against you in an actual debate.

32. If "Americans are outraged by bail-out after bail-out" then why in the hell
are you proposing to support Tea Party symbolism? You do realize this is being touted as citizens angry against "taxes" vs. really getting down to the nitty gritty on how the top 10% have benefited the MOST from the tax policies since Reagan, don't you? Not to mention that Obama has not raised any taxes on YOU...unless you are in the top 5% bracket (even then you will receive tax CUTS through the marginal tax cuts on the the 95% of the rest of us)! Unless you're in the super, duper top 1%, you'll still be paying less in taxes!!!

Maybe it's time to alert.

34. this thing actually believes that people in Gitmo who were tortured had something to do w 9/11
honey, if the people who REALLY allowed 9/11 to happen were in Gitmo, you don't think mouth-breather bush would have been strutting them around like trophies? how come we really haven't heard WHAT those people did? why didn't he charge them with anything for 7 years? what was he hiding, anyway? why have many been quietly released back to their countries or otherwise been "disposed of" without fanfare? why is it that many, many turned out to be people in the wrong place at the wrong time, or turned in by greed-heads for "bounty"?

It also thinks that stimulus spending here in "the homeland" for infrastructure and health are somehow unnecessary "pork" that won't really benefit anybody. DUH--even though your little list reflects the fact that you are good simply at mindlessly parroting things you hear on Fox news without thought and is without any substance whatsoever, any kind of spending on domestic projects creates jobs, which puts dollars in workers' pockets--DUH--but oh, if only a genius like you could be in Washington, going over that budget, what a wonderful world it would be! No nothing for anybody! Why, you would eliminate taxes altogether!

I'm sure you will be the first to give up your Medicare when you are eligible! such a "socialist" program belongs only in Europe! How come your moron leaders are not suggesting doing the same?

35. Lies, lies, and more lies. Torture doesn't work.
Oh, and BTW, where the hell was your 'outrage' when Bush was destroying the economy, spending like a drunken sailor, and lying and murdering people?

Also, the Boston Tea Party was a reaction against unfair taxes against a corporation and taxation without representation, not taxes in general.

I hope you jerks get arrested for littering Wednesday.

I wonder if you actually know what that money is going for.

And by the way "Hollywood" actually still produces shit we export.

43. We are not about to find out ANYTHING the gov doesn't want us to know
If tea parties are an American issue then I guess the right side of the isle doesn't care about facts. We lived under the greatest lie ever told for nearly eight years and I saw no republican outrage, none.

The republicans have taken a mediocre country and turned it into a hateful cesspool. Tea party away, but remember what you helped to do to destroy this country long before President Obama ever became President. It's aggravating to witness the short term memory loss of so many right wingers. I hold them accountable for the misery we are all living under.

46. "Americans are outraged by bail-out after bail-out"
Yup! The consequences of following right wing ideology are expensive.

"640 million for Harry Reid's train from Disneyland to Las Vegas"

Another right wing lie, no such train is planned. But if there were plans for a high speed train from LA to Vegas it would make sense. It's a very busy corridor and what is it we're always hearing from the GOP about trains - 'They have to pay for themselves.'

25. he wont do it
Obama is light years away from being a bush but in the end he is still a politician. If he wants to survive in washington then he has to become a scum like the rest of them. I doubt he'll do anything but in the end, and after the excuses, well hear the usual "lets move on." Well, I wonder if i commit a nasty crime the judge will say "never mind lets move on."
what a world.

44. I am afraid you are right
I have nothing but desire to see he release those memos bright and early Thursday morning but there is absolutely no indication that he intends to do so (despite Holder's recommendation that they be released) and the last two week's worth of "friday news dumps" point to continued secrecy in such matters.

So in short, we shouldn't be holding our collective breaths.
