Don't under estimate Larry King. He benches 350 lbs and is an expert in hand to hand combat. The ladies can't resist him.

If they switched outfits I might be impressed!

Do you suppose Larry snuck some of that poisonous gas out that he is supposed to be so famous for? Ha!

jebus.love.me's picture

Reminds me of Bush dancing in Africa....

Better yet, Larry King & dancing, is like George Bush & Foreign Policy.

They both don't know what the hell they are doing!

Snowball's picture

Why?

gfm975's picture

Just like CNN, Larry's seen better days... someone needs to tell him to retire before more embarassments.

OK, so maybe Larry King is a Moron, but why is Janet a whore ???

Marc's picture

Put togeather a response to the wingnuts who like to emphasize Obama's middle name, and defend it by whining pittifully "it's his name isn't it? What is wrong with that?" Thought I'd post it here first.

For the past 7 years we have been conditioned to fear anything percieved as islamic, to fear people that appear middle eastern, and especially to fear the threat of Saddam Hussain.

Those working against Obama's campaign have worked long and hard to tie that fear onto him. From mispronouncing/spelling his name Osama, to spreading false rumors that he is muslim, to phony news stories about attending a madrassa. This emphasis on his middle name is just the latest ploy in trying to spread people's fear onto him as well. Anyone who defends using his middle name ask them how often they used McCain's middle name, or the middle name of Huckabee, Romney, Ron Paul, Kusinnich, John Edwards, Mike Gravel, Fred Thompson. Do they even know any of those people's middle names?

And to the denials I would like to reply with an old saying: "Don't piss down my back and tell me its raining"

A Whore? You must need some attention. Lonely tonight, loser?

Speaking of wardrobe function...and I know John hates conspiracty theories...but with the Pats in the Superbowl this year again, I had this weird thought during the halftime show.

1. The Jacksons are devout Jehovah Witnesses but the kids pretty much whore themselves out for a buck
2. The religious right needed to get everyone all riled up about the 'decline of American Television' so they could get the FCC to fine the hell out of people and bring back state sponsored censorship.

What if the Religious right paid Janet Jackson some $$$ to do the whole wardrobe malfunction bit so they could energize their base, really make a non-story a big story, and go on their moral crusade that has really thrown fear into the networks? Sort of like indecencies own September 11th?

Is this what they call "assymetrical warfare"? The might of Israel and it's $30 billion dollar aid package from the USA, against "peasants" with homemade rockets trying to defend their homeland. Especially as they are being starved out and without energy.

tHeGaMeOfLiFe's picture

Mark@20

You are so right! How many times do they use the middle name of the other cadidates? I would like to know too. Oh wait I know why repugs use dirty tactics.

Their little game is sophomoric and very ignorant. Just like a repug. Childish and fearful. They better hide under mommy's skirt.

Obama has the nation's attention and it ain't nothing they can do about it.

Yeah, the poor peasants who elected a terrorist organization dedicated to eradicating all Jews from the Earth. Yeah, the poor peasants who attack Israel and kill innocent civilians every other day.

Don't get me wrong - I disagree with the Israeli government often enough (as do a shitload of Israelis). But the victimization of Palestine also bothers me. Israel tried to give up the Gaza Strip, and paid for it in blood, fer Chrissakes.

There was this guy who was found in reperation distress in a motel room in Las Vegas back on Saint Valentine's day. He was taken to the hospital and has been unconcious ever since. A few days ago a new tenent to the same motel room found some ricin. "Anarchist" literature was also found. The FBI sees no connection with terrorism.

Since we are on the subject of trillions there was an article i read in the Washington Post way back in the 1970's that explained what a trillion is.

One million dollars in newly minted 100 dollar bills is eight inches tall.

One billion is one hindred feet higher than the Washington Monument in Dc.

One trillion stretches several hundred miles past the moon.

Many people here know i was a victim of a sexual predator as a child. If you did not know, now you do. I have looked into what happens to most victims of sexual and/or physical and mental abuse over the course of my lifetime. More than half but not all victims of abuse become victomizers.

Israel reminds me of this in so many ways. They are bringing down and have been bringing down a holocaust on the Palestinians for decades.

See, this is the problem when you conflate the Jews with Israel. The Zionists who run Israel are to the Jews what Mormons are to Christians. Also, there's a significant anti-war movement in Israel that you never hear about.

Goofy Plutocrat's Daffy plan to go to Mars has Uranus Saturn Hell...

What's wrong with uranus? Hemoroids?

It's pronounced "Your in is." Ask any news anchor reporting on the Uranis probe (ok, that would have been hillarious if they had actually pronounced it correctly) back in the 1990's.

I like how they blame Palestinians civilians for their own deaths.

Israel is doing to the Palestinians what hitler did to them.

wanna tell me when the jews in europe were raining rockets onto the germans, poles or any other country???

the jew hate on many liberal blogs disgusts me

since the pullout from gaza, the only thing the palestinians have accomplished is setting up rocket sites....thats it

they have bombarded israel daily....yet you never hear about it, thanks to the msm and your choice in staying ignorant

the reason civillians get killed is because hamas has a wonderful habit of placing military targets in populated areas

so stop with the comparing israel to nazi germany bs

See, this is the problem when you conflate the Jews with Israel. The Zionists who run Israel are to the Jews what Mormons are to Christians. Also, there's a significant anti-war movement in Israel that you never hear about. The whole approach is to mix things up with these emotional irrelevancies, keep people at each others throats, and sell both sides weapons.

oh please...i know about peace now

but i also know that palestinians dont care where the rockets hit, or which jews they kill

and im sorry, but you jew haters love to use the term zionist to attempt to make yourself feel better about your jew hatred....that is a fact

you constantly choose to neglect the atrocities committed by arabs and the palestinians, and love to blame every problem in the middle east on israel

the only time you people like jews is when they have no power

well that time has ended...deal with it

Who swept the Palistineans out of Palestine in 1948?

who told them to leave their homes and not worry, because the jews would be swept into the sea?

get a clue...there was a war...they left....they lost

when are you gonna give back your home to the native american that it was stolen from?

No i never read a history book. I never talked to or lived with Jews who totally disagree with Israel. I never cared to be politically aware. I never decided to think. I never decided to act. In fact i never typed this.

There are lots of "good" propaganda cartoons that were either done by WB or in their style.

Oooh...communists are evil.

Daffy loves to get himself some Nazis...

America is the bestest!

I have a dvd around somewhere that has a ton of those old propaganda films as well as the old school health videos and other "educational" films from the 30's-70's. Some of those are really funny now (especially the stranger danger types).

The premise was that Jesse and Al wanted nothing more than to campaign for Obama so he sent Jesse to a made up named country in Africa and fooled Sharpton into wearing a pet stop collar to keep him away from Obama rallys. It sounds horrible but it rang true

I saw a film back in the 1970's about how almost all the cartoons and comic book heros went to war. When the lead up to Iraq started somehow all the news anchors started to look like cartoon characters to me.

I am not looking at one side of the issue. I swear to God i wish that the Palestinians had adopted a stance of non violent resistance back in the 1950's. This matter would have been resolved by now. I am opposed to how they have killed over the decades. I am also opposed to what has been done to them in response.

I like Al Sharpton a lot. Jesse Jackson i have personal problems with so i won't comment on him. The thing is, Obama is not really far enough to the left to have much in common with either of them.
