McCain to Host SNL, as ‘Theodoric of York, Medieval GOP Candidate’
http://satiricalpolitical.com/?p=2346
LOL I love how they put it on a loop and just let it run. For a second, I thought the video was edited, but if you watch the ticker at the bottom you see they actually looped it like that on TV. LOL
thanks Geraldo, the first responders have nothing else to do but mach sure your stupid ass is safe
that would be make
Well that map he just drew in the sand is toast.
So depressed. Just looked at the latest polls. I can't believe McCain has reason so much in this amount of time. I can't believe he's swung that many people. With what? Sarah and some stupid attacks against Obama? The way I look at it, 60% or so aren't moving. They are split about 30% Dem and 30% Repub, if I had to guess. So these poll movements are the fence sitters. Who are these people? Given the differences between the two candidates, who hasn't made up their mind and is swayed day to day by the dumbshit we're seeing? I shouldn't be surprised, half the country is below average.
Geraldo - you deserve your stint as Faux's geek.
risen not reason
OMG this is a MUST SEE!
Who Loves America?
really, go watch it, it's gunna get your blood boiling in a good way!
Geraldo is a douchebag.
I have to say only one thing in defense of Geraldo and that is that he will, on occassion, buck up and try to do the right thing. His reporting from the Convention Center in New Orleans was dead on (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_V6SCiDhEA) and quite frankly I'm surprised him and Shepherd Smith didn't get fired for it. And he has taken Billo on regarding discrimination (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dtcqaMHV6Y).
I saw it when it happened and it was a thing of beauty. Later he called himself something like a dumb ass reporter. Finally, I agree with him on something.
Rick Sanchez of CNN has to be one of the stupidest creatures on earth. I don't think he ever fell down, but he too was trying to be a "brave" reporter in the middle of a hurricane and he too did some things that made him look like a dumb ass reporter. We was wading out in the water to show something or the other when a transformer blew up near him. Quickly he decided he didn't need to be in that location for long.
seth @ 8:
It's called a convention bounce. Did you know in 88, Dukakis was up 13 points in the polls? Stay strong. The numbers are already tightening again!
idiots all over the dials are doing this, while the dire warnings are on the screen...
how stupid do they think WE are? "gee i wonder what a hurricane wave is like?"
... never mind...
pissed off patricia @ 13:

Don't be.
Also, don't forget the reality of our country, for all the enlightened Americans, we have a large number of racist and uneducated people... Even if you concede that the last two elections were stolen, there Repiglicans got a shocking number of votes...
...So, don't be sad, don't be shocked. Be ANGRY. Be unrelenting. BE HOPEFUL.
We have an excellent candidate in Obama, he is, and has been running a brilliant campaign, and the debates are on their way...
Besides, even the good-old boys know it's time for the "good cop" to take over...

What. A. Dumb. Ass.
Once hurricane Palin blows over, I think we will see the numbers improving in Obama's favor. We know she's nothing but hot blustery air.
If anyone saw bush's comments today about the hurricane, I think you might agree with me that he just didn't seem to have his heart in what he was saying. I got the impression that the damned hurricane had interrupted his schedule or something. He seemed sort of defensive and irked by the whole thing.
Fucking funny! Why is it that Republicans are so fucking stupid? Can't stop
laughing.
Now I want it on a loop with the song Wipeout playing
I figured geraldo was gonna punch the ocean out.
Read this. It cheered me up.

He just gave away the strategic position of the hurricane, THANKS A LOT GERALDO!

This week we traveled from the east coast of Florida to the west coast of Florida, and back. I saw several cars with Obama stickers on them. One said, "Another mama for Obama", while most just had the little logo bumper sticker or magnet. I saw no bumper stickers or anything on any cars for McCain.
We were coming through this tiny little town today on the way home. You could tell this was probably one of the poorest most pitiful parts of our state. There was this little house sitting down off the road, it was such a shabby little thing with a couch in the front yard. In the little dirt yard was a McCain yard sign. Whoever owns or rents that little house will be voting against themselves in November.
pissed off patricia @ 20:
not even a "thank you, good day", just snapped up his papers and turned away...
might as well flipped us all off...
Was that Geraldo or Rick Sanchez?
http://crooksandliar.com
I certainly hope "Dick" Cheney and Duhbya were carefully monitoring storm developments with all their attention. You know, like they were during the RNC. Damn, I felt safe with those two in charge, were they just as diligent with Ike?
More importantly, what photo ops have Grampa and the Pig made showing their leadership in this crisis?
who looped that tape? shame on them.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!

Texas Democrat @ 14:
Thanks for that reminder. May McCain's campaign do as well in 08 as Dukakis did then.
Great moment of Zen. The full clip is almost funnier though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FziScjyf4Ic&feature=related

I had my zen like moment when Bart Simpson described the sound of one hand clapping.
Once hurricane Palin blows over, I think we will see the numbers improving in Obama’s favor. We know she’s nothing but hot blustery air.
From a practical aspect this is true. Unfortunately, from the perspective of a middle aged white woman we're on the verge of electing Dianne Keaton president.
seth @ 8:
Read this. It may make you feel better.
I used to play in bigger waves than those on the shores of lake Huron. This video does raise an interesting philosophical question though: Geraldo, flotsam or jetsam?.
I guess that's why he skipped his morning shower. He knew he was going to wash up on the beach.
constituent @ 26:
i love it (NOT) when they say, as blakeman (DICK) did, "we can come together as americans",
'cause it's obvious they mean, "as long as we're all REPUBLICAN americans, as long as it's OUR side"...
oilerspoiler@7
Well that map he just drew in the sand is toast.
i can not look or hear the man without seeing him drawing maps in the sand. i also can't help but wonder how fox news impersonators so easily throw out the words "traitor to the troops" and they pay a real life traitor like him.
LOVE IT ..... DUMBSHIT
I think it's time we all swamped the right wing blogs.
Look at the shit that's out there!

Rusty @ 22:
Yeah!! - that would do it!
Is Geraldo just tying up valuable resources? Seeing as how the firemen had to worry about the stupid journalist - it seems likely.

katy @ 28:
I think he basically did. Wonder how the folks in Texas would have viewed this if they had electrical power to see it? I think he gets aggravated by these sorts of things.

Now is that a warning or a threat?

For anyone who thinks the Obama campaign isn't spitting back, here's this from Bill Burton of Obama's campaign staff. I know I posted it in another thread, but it's so good it's worth repeating.
”We will take no lectures from John McCain who is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern Presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking.”
It comes from Politico
Geraldo=driftwood
All I have to say is: "Woah."
Now there's a racist video up. Obama the Magic Negro.
This is nuts.

CoIntelPro against the WAR of LIES @ 32:
Liked that, eh?
Dumb and dumber. That's all I kept saying as I watched these idiots on the teevees. They tell everyone to get the heck out of Dodge and hey, there go the reporters. How long before the rescuers have to really put their lives on the line for these idiots? And how many people stay because these reporters are there.
And oh, the media frenzy when one of their own dies.
Disgusting.
ya know, mccain's been looking a lot healthier lately.
did his doctors finally drain the pus from his jowels?
I just read this on Andrew Sullivan's web page. A reader of his asks a question I have often wondered myself and it was as follows:
I just wanted to say thank you so much for being the only blogger (aside from Al Giordano) who gets it. While the rest of the blogosphere (especially the liberal bloggers) lose their heads you are an island of common sense. Patience and Steel. Yes, yes. yes.
It also occurs to me that in a way McCain and Rove have actually simply taken over the liberal blogosphere in some way. They are being played.
Just a few examples---yesterday Obama gave a fantastic interview at the Service Forum. Did the liberal blogs even cover this? No.
He gave a great speech on the trail. Are his town halls even posted or excerpted? No.
The liberal bloggers have become McCain central. They make people click on his ads, make the world spin around him instead of focusing on our candidate and what he is trying to do. There is ZERO coverage of what Obama is actually doing every day talking tough on the issues. There is ZERO coverage of Biden (who is on the trail but the blogs don't seem to care or cover him unless he is doing what they think he should be doing. Sadly AFP did cover him this week and people seemed to be too busy saying he was not doing anything to include the link with his forceful comments against McCain. The one time the blogs linked to Biden---when the MSM tried to make a big deal out his answer to a question that made Hillary look bad and he defended her. That was it).
McCain and crew realized early this cycle that they did not have a visible internet presence. So what did they do? They took over the liberal presence, they are manipulating the leading liberal blogs , just as they manipulate the MSM. All to their own advantage. And the blogs have all fallen for this hook, line and sinker. Does no one realize this?
They are all being played.
And Obama, god bless him, he gets it. As does his team. while everyone whines he keeps at it every day with much much class and like a laser focused on the issues. The problem is not Obama, is that no one wants to follow his lead. Instead they are following McCain-Rove and they don't even know it.
constituent @ 26:
Blakeman must be a masochist to hang out at MSNBC and get owned every day by people with a brain. He's the quintessential rethug parrot. Thanks for that, it does show Obama's not taking that slander lying down.
Jeff @ 44:
You mean like this?
"Special" people out there. Wrap yourself in the flag and scream AMERICA!

Memo to Crooks and Liars .
We need a campaign to acknowledge Sarah Palin's great love for Wildlife and support for hunting , including the right to shoot Wolves from Airplanes , a right she fought hard for in Alaska . This may outrage animal lovers in the United States and expose another reason for not to vote for her , but hey those are the people either to poor to hire a plane or that just don't understand how dangerous and elusive wolves can be , hence the need to take them out, from the safety of a comfortable airplane .
Some pictures may be revolting , such as the pictures of dead wolves hanging from the wings of airplanes and may impact peoples decision to vote for her , but would you want to track down wolves in deep snow , risking frostbite .
Sarah loves animals and is willing to fill up the tank and take off to prove it .
The peoplesvoice.org has link (near bottom ) about Sarah PALIN'S great love for hunting and support for aviation hunting .
Ike yeah..... too bad it didn't roll into Fox news studio and flush out the garbage inside.
Well, ... hehe this is better journalism then back in the "capone's vault" days uh. I miss Geraldo's yelling @ Bill O moments.
The looping made me spew soda! Kinda like Sideshow Bob and the rakes!
i thought i saw a fox news crewguy pushing him.
has everyone seen Geraldo on O'Reilly's show where BillO looked liked he was about to snap and punch him in the face?
I wish I had the link.

Take your pick. :)
he and his girlfriend were sailing a hundred miles off the coast of florida and she cut her thumb.
the rescue chopper was sent out to get her and the taxpayers covered it for him.
it was a flesh wound.
There he is rolling around in the surf with a live mike in his hand. Too bad it's insulated .
Meanwhile, as good as I feel about the majority of people being smart enough to chose Obama/Biden, it is tempered by the fact that NO ONE is talking about guarding against election theft :

Had a buddy who was in Iraq and Afghanistan as a journalist and said he ran into Geraldo. He said the soldiers would spit in their hands before shaking hands with Geraldo.
NDomino @ 60:
Well said. I hope this is not ignored. No matter how absurd the monkey VP candidate sounds or looks answering questions... she should never have that kind of platform on this site!
For some reason, I can't really laugh at this. I'm no Geraldo fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I don't want to see him get killed by a terrible storm. I don't want to see anyone get killed.
Currently, Texas itself has been declared a disaster zone.
They talk about how crazy it is for people who stay and ride out these storms. However, I wonder when one of these crazy reporters is going to get hurt? The networks put them in harms way by having them standing out in brunt of these hurricanes. I would be just as happy with remote cameras, weather radar and reports of the aftermath. Thank you 24 hour news cycle.
What an a-hole. I've seen bigger waves in my blow-up kiddie pool.
Jim Cantore started all this crap. They are all a bunch of morons for going out in storms. Great examples they set for others.
An Average Joe @ 78:
Youth has no concept of their own death. As we grow old we hold life more dearly.
Why do you think wars are fought by youngsters? It's hard to convince an older person to die. Well, that and the fact that older people are not so strong.
I had to laugh at all the reporters in their "Danger Jim" outfits reporting of the strength of the storm and how dangerous it was and that the people that were still walking around were putting their lives at risk, when the reporters were doing the exact same thing by being out there... Simply amazing. Now, I know that they have jobs to do, but do they have to sound so stupid doing it?
Geraldo is the least offensive of the assholes on Faux. I can stand more of him than Reilly that's for sure.
Lol, after he got up he said this will be big on youtube. You called it Hairaldo.
Meat@76 Says:

___________________________________________
WTF? Texas has been, is and will be forever a disaster zone.
Need I say it? Face it, Geraldo, you're washed up!
Hurricane Hillary got her revenge!!

I hope Revolver gets pulled out to sea by the undertow. What a moron.
At the risk of being repetitious, I gotta tell you....THIS 527 AD IS WORKING
Something amazing is happening because as of Wed, there were less than 2,000 hits on the defendersaction.org video. As of 10 minutes ago there were 175,000
At the YouTube site the Repugs are out en masse commenting on the aerial wolf slaughter. They are trying to change the subject and talk about baby killing, abortion and “culling herds”.
THEY ARE SCARED OF THIS AD so it must be working
Please hit it and comment
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQobIUE1zTU
Then go to defendersactionfund.org and contribute. The ads started running in OH last night. We need to fund for MI FL and other swing states.
There are only 2 of our527’s ready to roll NOW votevets.org has an ad too
Not as funny as Al Capone's vault.

don't flood the c&l threads; just listen to former minnesota governor jesse ventura.
You can see the true heroes come up from behind him and say, "We thought it was only o'really and hannity that would be this fucking stupid"?
How can a wave smaller than 1 foot knock him down?
Tard!
mudshark @ 97:
My thoughts exactly!
Weren't there any dangling electrical wires he could grab to test for connectivity? Or perhaps some falling glass shards he could catch?
See, god knows how to laugh. I wonder if Texas had any Gay Pride stuff planned. Just sayin'. (snark)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Almost as good as seeing him getting his nose broken on his old cheese monger talk show.
I love how you keep looping the fall... 'woah...'
bullfrog @ 95:
Thanks Bullfrog.
Jesse really stuck it to the media.
Didn't Gerry Rivers see any hurricanes when he was growing up on Long Island?
Usually the Fox News is right on with breaking news, but for a half hour last night Fox crashed and burned. After Sheperd Smith signed off they went to Geraldo, but he just keep cutting out and pixelating.Then some guy comes on, but no one had any audio. It was very funny. Another strange thing was videos of levee breaches on CNN pretty late, then a report of a levee breaking in New Orleans, so I flipped it to Fox and they said NO FEDERAL LEVEES HAVE BEEN BREACHED, and I never heard another word about it. Palin is lucky Ike blocked out that In what respect Charlie? LOL!
Geraldo never would have been knocked down by the wave if he had simply pulled his gun on the ocean. I mean..that's what has worked for him in the past, right? Maybe he was out of bullets.
Twelve inch high surf takes him out ? What a drama queen !
Ladies and gentlemen...he is now qualified to be President of the United States.
Ike had some impressive features, but one thing it lacked was great big random bolts of lightning.
That is the most idiotic thing I have seen in my entire life.
Fox loops that nonsense so many times you'd think retards were watching that channel. Gotta make sure it sinks in.
Funny isn't it, how whenever ANYTHING in the world is happening, Geraldo miraculously appears. The Al Capone thing should have been his kiss of death. When he disclosed the location of our troops I thought for sure that would be the last time we'd see him. But voila, he shows up in Aruba to promise Natalee Hollaway's mother that He alone will find out the truth behind her daughter's murder. Then, he just is gone, never to be seen or heard from again in Aruba. Then he pops up in New Orleans for Gustav, calling for help "There's a man in the water! I see him! Call for rescue immediately!" (the "man in peril" was a utility worker securing a propane tank. Geraldo, HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
What's really sad about this clip is seeing the firefighters wasting their valuable time and energy running to this yuk's aid. That should be considered a crime. It'd be funny if there were a 'lost ending" to this where the firefighters get to him and one yells "Damn! We ran over here to help YOU!?!" and then knocks Geraldo back in to the water.
What happened to holding onto an 'electrical' source when in water?! Shouldn't that dumb shit have been electrocuted just for putting other people in danger?
I guess you know which way I'm leaning..... ;)
