Open Thread: It's Larry Craig "Bobblefoot" Day!
By SilentPatriot Thursday May 22, 2008 11:30pm
You've all heard of the classic "bobblehead doll." Well a minor league baseball team in Minnesota is paying homage to Senator Larry Craig by offering the first 2500 fans attending Sunday's game a "bobblefoot doll." Awesome. (h/t Scarce)
This thread is open for business.

You call that an "honor?" How 'bout Idaho changing State Symbol from

Incoming!!! Keep your young ass down P2B! And BTW Hey Brother.
It might be a long night.
I know C&L is trying to stay out of the Democratic nomination fight but why on earth are you guys not even mentioning the RFK reference yet you have an article about Hillary being VP??
Sloan47 @ 8:
That may kill her chance of being VP.
i am so proud to be an american right now. that is the funniest f#cking thing i have ever seen in my life. next to the flying fallus at the kasperov speach. awesome
Sloan47 @ 8:
I think we're expecting a few casual references the RFK thing tonight.
Why were the comments shut down on the Hillary story? If you don't want free comments, don't post the article. I feel as though you are censoring us by not allowing us to put our two cents worth in.
["The Hillary Story" as you call it was not about her comment. We did not post an article about the comment, then close it. We posted an article about something else and commenters were off topic and abusive to the site and John. We take a lot of static, be we won't stand for that. Your criticism is off base-Sitemonitor]
Ron @ 9:
At this point her chance of being VP IS dead.
(And before anyone asks or assumes, I am a DEMOCRATIC supporter... whoever that may be. With that remark tonight... she lost my support.)
You know, I'm half tempted to watch FOX Noise to see how the mongrels are spinning the latest faux pas.
Between Hillary and Huckery I hope Obama doubles his security detail
Peter G @ 6:
Backatcha, PtG :)
Hey Ron, ya phat baddy ;-}
There is always so much going on at St. Paul Saints games that you hardly know there is baseball being played. I wonder if they sent a bobblehead to wide-stance Larry in Idaho?
Is Larry Craig still a United States Senator?? Then.. The joke is on us.

Too aerodynamic for me.
Hillary apologizes for spitting on RFK's grave. What bugs me most is she brought it up while his brother just got out of the hospital for a terminal illness. Can sunscreen hurt

Trying to skip that anger stage and go straight to bargaining? If only denial could be crossed first. Unfortunately, in Hillary-math all three stages are played simultaneously and the fourth is always... just... out... of... reach.

Thank god for Olbermann. His special comments are spot on as usual!
I want a Bobblefoot! Suspect there will be a lot of bidding when they start showing up on EBay, though.
Next promotion -- Hillary with foot firmly embedded in mouth? Nah -- everyone would probably stay home from the game to avoid getting one.
lafin gas @ 27:
Watched it and KO really made the point. No matter what we know that some of the crazies think, there is no reason to speak about it publicly. I hope they at least double the security for Obama. Gobama.
Sloan47 @ 29:
Amen! Those made me cry.
I didn't think even she could stoop that low.
And where are her supporters? This truly IS unforgivable and indefensible.
I also thought surely C&L would make some mention of it if not actually put up the Special Comments.
It's disappointing to say the least.
You know if I could get one of these bobblefoot things I'd donate it to either The Daily Show or The Colbert Report. It deserves the widest possible audience.
why all the fuss? in this country if they want you dead your dead!
Coincidently, earlier this week Hillary's overatures to be on Obama's ticket were rebuffed. I truly think she is patalogically fixated.

xoites since none of the other obama supporters are willing to answer my question and since you seem to want to be thier spoksperson , maby youll answer my question or not! obama said we could possibly still have troops in iraq at the end of his first term, mccain says the same thing , explain the difference between them on that statement ! do you support staying in iraq for obamas first term?
Obama leads McCain in November match: Reuters poll
tyree @ 367:
Got that... Obama doesn't believe they should be there... McCain needs to appease his lobbyists...
tyree @ 367:
I am not a one issue voter. This is the first time i have heard of him saying that.
My desire for Iraq is not that we get up and leave.
I want us to hire the Iraqi's to rebuild their country, prosecute Haliburton and Blackwater and put them out of business. Iraq needs massive direct aid and will need it for years. If we have to stay top make that happen then so be it.
To stay and wage war i am oppossed to. If the choice is only to continue the war and leave then i want us out.
I just don't happen to think those are our only two options.
xoites defends Constitution @ 364:
yesterday morning the 'talks' were that there were strong serious negotiations underway to get hillary on the ticket. I am reminded of when Obama first took the lead and Hillary 'offered' to make him VP candidate. she apparently has only ever had one thing in mind. it might be admirable it it weren't so apparently pathological.
tyree @ 367:
mayb yu shld hit thespllchk buttn
I am sure my grammer will improve after a little more coffee.
xoites defends Constitution @ 370:
not good enough xoites , if obama wanted out of iraq he would have voted against the funds to keep it going , ive heard you say that the funds needed cut off to force us out of iraq, guess you changed your mind since obamas for keeping us there!

We have three candidates for President. Two really, but Hillary is perched on a cactus waiting for something to die. McCain is wrong on all the issues i care about. Hillary has played the race card, the fear card and thinks she has an ace up her sleeve.
Is Obama perfect? No.
Is he the best choice? Yes.

This has to be the funniest thing that I have seen in some time.
Hey folks, all this fratricide is getting old. I have skipped over half this thread in trying to catch up anyway.
But I wanted to share something you guys might find interesting, on a right wing website there is a smear attempt by some rightwing frontgroup that gets a veteran to say on camera that he is upset that Obama wont come visit him in Iraq. Baghdad Johnny seems to think one angle he has on Obama is he likes to visit and take strolls with Sen. Graham, hand in hand, through markets looking for designer rugs.
Anyway, I totally beat down their thread, and its so easy to just argue with facts. Even when the temptation to beat someone down with insults is more appealing.
Like Obama, I'm gonna try and always take the high road, its always best, on the internet and in person
And I went and forgot the link.

Am I the only one who gets different comment totals when I refresh the comments on this thread?
Ron @ 9:
Here's a thought, you might actually want to read the entire article or better yet, watch the video. The newspaper has already come out to say that Hillary's statement was fine, but rabid obamaholics and dipstix like KO (especially) couldn't wait to start the vile spew. Even RFK, Jr. said he did not take offense to what Hillary said. She even apologized so as to quell the faux outrage. She's strong, a fierce fighter and her opponent's followers can keep up the shit, but it makes them look small and their messiah even smaller.
ezpz @ 32:
Frankly I thought it was way over the top. Also I suspect it will be posted here about five hundred times a day. A dedicated thread seems excessive.

and now i can rant
that fuckin hillary has gone too far...and i dont care if you clinton backers dont vote for obama...if you can continue to support her, you are as batshit as she is
i say batshit, because only a wingnut evil enough to bring up the assasination of robert kennedy as a reason to stay in a race....and as she insists that she is a progressive dem...she must be out of her fuckin mind
and no one that crazy should ever be allowed to be prez
no wonder bill had to go around the country bangin everything in a skirt...im just amazed he stuck it out with the crazy old loon

Thank you Hillary,
The RFK comment was nothing more than a subliminal suicide bomb for your campaign. Please inform Getalife, Abarts, Dennis, and especially LA Confidential(who by the way, pissed on his credibility claiming to be neutral in the Obama v Hillary battle) that your long, depressing, shitty, Republican style run is mercifully over.

PssttCmere @ 40:
I guess you have the same lack of understanding that Clinton does about this. It isn't about the Kennedys! It's about implying you are still in the race in case Obama gets assassinated. Why should the Kennedys be insulted? I suggest you actually watch KO's comment because it is clear you haven't.
PssttCmere @ 42:
Why are you so psst?
PssttCmere @ 35:
I have both read the article and watched the video and what she said was just plain STUPID. Her reasoning for staying in the campaign is because the nomination process takes time and incidents happen in June. Fine, I can accept that. But you don't site one of your examples as being an assassination. Not in this politically charged environment. PERIOD. It's a moronic thing to say and now I certainly don't want someone that STUPID to be president. This country has enough problems with moronic presidents as it is...

She used the RFK assassination as one of the reasons why she should stay in the race. What do you think she meant by that? Why the hell would she even bring it up? Please, do explain this.
Anyone that appreciates Our Own painful History and is sensitive to our Own History as a Nation dealing with tragic violent Loss of Greatness KNOWS that this is Something that is NOT said while we have a Tense Election Process ongoing...especially when we have the First Black Candidate, who has protection due to such threats... and one that has been openly compared to RFK and embraced by the Kennedys for all that he shows in potential and Hope...What she did was and is Unforgiveable..Keith Said what needed to be Said....
It is Time for the Pantsuited Princess to go home...she lacks judegement and is not Presidential...she is arrogant and ignorant. And her apology was pathetic. Mr.Brinkley said it best on Countdown- it is time for an Intervention and for Someone to help her to Exit.
She also just blew her opportunity to even be considered VP....there is no greatness there...as a woman I am ashamed of her antics and lack of sensitivity.

Peter G @ 55:
That was my take on it. She should have worded it better. But I thought she was refering to June, Cause stuff happens in June with regards to politics. Especially in an election year. Why hasn't KO questioned any of Obama's gaffes. Or his Voting record. Obama and Clinton are virtually the same, as far as voting goes. Well, actually she's voted more often. I find KO to be biased nowadays.sad.:(
Peter G @ 56:
There are MANY who inferred that. Hillary is simply too insensitive or not intelligent enough to realize that the comment can be taken in the wrong manner and should APOLOGIZE to Obama for even the unintended misunderstanding. If she really apologized there wouldn't be an uproar right now...

I saw this Larry Craig bobblefoot doll this morning on Morning Joe. I have been watching for the last two weeks, Joe is a no show. Supposed to be waiting on a baby. Kind of wonder if something else is not up. I think he has been unhappy with the things are going for him lately. Too many women ( Mika and Rachel) stealing his thunder, I guess. I tune in every morning, but only watch if he is not on. If he is on, then I go to C-Span and get better informed anyway.

Johnny2Bad @ 61:
Well, I am a Hispanic American and the rhetoric Dobbs and Limbaugh spew out on a daily basis certainly doesn't help. Anti-Hispanic sentiment is at an all time high and Dobbs loves to proclaim that illegal immigration is the source of all our problems. Unfortunately some people can be quite moronic so resentment spills out.

Where the hell do you get that? Olbermann HAS always been biased towards liberals and Democrats. Always. YOU are just pissed because he has taken sides in this nomination process that you don't agree with.

she has not apologized...she has used the same old tired politician rhetoric that basically says, eff you to those who were appalled....you are too stupid to understand what i meant
why are people asking for hillary to cease her now insane attempts to garner the nom? because her campaign has been run from the muck
she has sullied her reputation....bill has sullied his...and they both are attempting to destroy the dem party if they dont get their way
so like two petulant children, they must be beaten and sent to be without their supper

I take that back, He attacked Bill Clinton to the tune of over 200 shows over the Lewinski thing. He should be impartial and just report the facts. I gave up on the MSN, you'll never get any truth out of them. But KO, I expect impartiality and no bias.
mudshark @ 81:
Calling someone out for being wrong (to put it mildly) is not being biased.
I commend Keith for equal opportunity special comments.
Keith used to be for Hillary in fact.....until, like many, he saw the kind of unsavory and divisive campaign she and Bill were running.
To be silent about such offensive behavior is to be complicit in it.
mudshark @ 85:
He may be the only guy biased against Hillary. WTF, there are a shitload of talking heads biased againdt Obama. Check Faux News.
come on folks ,ko gets by bashing bush because he cant run again! if he could the news whores would have allready shut his pie hole up! ko aint saying nothing you didnt allready know about bush!
I am so sick of this Democratic Primary, I could scream, and would if it would do any good. Hillary made a very thoughtless and somewhat dangerous comment about assassinations. For most Democrats supporting Obama, this has been at the back of our minds all along, and it is very worrisome. I don't think she meant it the way it came out, but it did come out very badly. Superdelegates need to make it stop now.
LunaStick @ 77:
A mistaken assumption though common enough. If I don't hate the person you hate I must love the person you hate. Actually I like and respect both candidates though I must give Obama credit for keeping his foot out of his mouth. Far from being pissed I am enjoying myself immensely making fun of the foolish.

mudshark @ 81:
It is humorous that KO is considered a hero when he goes after Bush and the neo-cons but an enemy when he goes after Clinton. The whole idea behind his show and the special comments are that they are his view...
ezpz @ 91:
Right. agreed. But why has he been so consiliatory to Obama. Surely Obama has some skeletons he knows about. Yet he remains silent on them. Or maybe " very quiet on them". When ewas the last time you heard KO say anything negative about Obama?
mudshark @ 90:
KO didn't have his show during the Lweinski thing. I believe he was still a sportscaster then. I think you have him confused with someone else.

You may be right. Rightwingnut radio doesn't help the situation. But neither does boiling it all down to talk show hosts on a really complex issue like this.
"A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There's a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year," Obama said. "If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it's not surprising that would happen."
Why are these two idiots even mentioned in the conversation? Maybe he read the Media Matters report and went off script.
This seems to be Obama's Achilles heal. Like the "bitter" comments. He's evidently not very good when he's ad libbing.
Jeez. Is he going to blow this "sure thing"? Ugh.
