On Wednesday’s Radio Show…
• One of Hillary Clinton’s top strategists, Howard Wolfson, tells Alan if Barack Obama’s overseas trip proves that the Illinois Senator is presidential material.
• The McCain campaign says the media is teaming up against him. But if that’s true, why did CBS try to supress McCain’s questionable claims about the surge?
• In an interview today, McCain ruled out one person as a running mate: Alan Colmes! Our humble host will react.









Lets just have a polite campaign….What CBS did was unprofessional if indeed they did it. But they did it not McCain
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Will Colmes interview McCain?
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:05 pm
Hey, McCain can rule me out too.
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:21 pm
dammit, i’m 4th. this sucks.
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Alan- I have a serious question. Is it too late for the Republicans to choose another nominee? Things are getting so bad for McCain, I really wonder if they would do that. If I were a member of the RNC, I’d be doing everything I can to replace him.
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Someone needs to tell McCain if he complains about every aspect of everything, his complaints lose their strength…
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Olberman just asked his guest the same thing.
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Bless those San Franciscans! A proposal on their ballot to name a sewage plant after W! Whatta hoot!
San Francisco, you are an inspiration! So…I want to dedicate this poem to you…
I left my vote in San Francisco
To name a plant after G. Bush
He’s shown he’s slippery-er than slime
The way he’s sponsored corporate crime
And left me here, without a dime.
So, I’ll remember him with glee
Each time I stop to poop or pee
And flush those days to say “I’m free”
(tee, hee, hee)
When I come home to you, San Francisco
The Geroge Bush years won’t stick to me!
Now, beloveds, get out and rock that vote!
& Pelosi, go get ‘em
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:54 pm
The Left’s regression is progressing nicely.
At what age level maturity should we place Mary… maybe 4 years old?
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Cheryl, Hi lady! Must be cosmic…I’ve been wondering the same thing all day!
Alan had a guest psychic on a while back who indicated that McCain may not stay the race…could it be?
p.s. loved your tomato post!
July 23rd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Vince, maturity is wasted on the old…besides I’d rather not experience life inside your mind! Lighten up & laugh a bit…
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:03 pm
CBS is in the tank for McCain…
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
Obama is awesome! We are all in awe of his brillant tongue:
COURIC: You raised a lot of eyebrows on this trip saying even knowing what you know now, you still would not have supported the surge. People may be scratching their heads and saying, “Why?”
OBAMA: Well, uh, er, ka, uh — because uh, eh, er, what I, uhhh. What I was referring to and I consistently referred to is the need for a strategy that actually concludes our involvement in Iraq and moves Iraqis to take responsibility for the country, uh, and –
COURIC: But didn’t the surge do that?
OBAMA: L-l-l-et me — Let me finish, Katie. The, uh — What happens if we continue to put $10 to $12 billion a month into Iraq, if we are willing to send as many troops, uh, as we can muster continuing into Iraq, uh, there’s no doubt that that’s going to have an impact. But it doesn’t meet our long term strategic goal which is to make the American people safer over the long term.
COURIC: Do you not give the surge any credit for increasing violence?
OBAMA: No, no. Of course — of course I have. There is no doubt that the extraordinary work of our U.S. forces has contributed to a lessening of the violence. Just as making sure that, uh, uh, the Sadr militia stood down or the fact that the Sunni tribes, uh, decided to flip and work with us instead of with, uh, Al Qa-e-da, something that we hadn’t anticipated happening. All those things have contributed to a reduction in violence.
COURIC: But talking microcosmically, did the surge, the addition of 30,000 –
OBAMA: Heh, heh.
COURIC: — additional troops –
OBAMA: Katie?
COURIC: — help the situation in Iraq?
OBAMA: Katie, the — the — the — Uh, you’ve asked me three different times and, eh, eh, I said repeatedly that there is no doubt that, uh, our troops helped to reduce violence.
COURIC: But yet –
OBAMA: There’s no doubt.
COURIC: — you are saying if you knew –
OBAMA: But, duh –
COURIC: Given what you know now, you still wouldn’t support it.
OBAMA: Because the — Because the –
COURIC: So I’m just trying to understand this.
OBAMA: Because — because, uh, uh, i-i-it’s pretty straightforward. By us putting $10 to $12 billion a month — $200 billion That’s money that could have gone into Afghanistan. Those additional troops could have gone into Afghanistan. That money also could have been used to shore up, uh, a declining economic situation in the United States.
COURIC: I really don’t mean to belabor this, senator, because I’m really trying to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq would exist today without the surge?
OBAMA: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals.
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Vinnie Pee can cut and paste. He’s all grown up…
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:11 pm
MORAN: I’m going to try and pin you down on this issue –
OBAMA: Well, here — let me — let me say this, though, Terry, because, you know, what I will refuse to do, and I think that, you know –
MORAN: How do you know what I’m going to ask?
OBAMA: Well, then if — if I don’t get it right, then you can ask it again –
MORAN: All right.
OBAMA: — is to get boxed in into what I consider two false choices, which is either I have a rigid timeline of such-and-such a date, come hell or high water, we’ve gotten our combat troops, and I am blind to anything that happens in the intervening six months — or 16 months, or, alternatively, I am completely deferring to whatever the commanders on the ground says, which is what George Bush, uh, uh, says he’s doing, in which case I’m not doing my job as commander-in-chief.
OBAMA: Nobody has a crystal ball. Uh, if we did, then you’d just hire the guy with the crystal ball.
MORAN: If you had to do it over again, knowing what you know now, would you support the surge?
OBAMA: No, because, I — I — I — eh — I — Keep in mind that — that –
MORAN: You wouldn’t?
OBAMA: Uh, eh, um, well — These kinds of hypotheticals are very difficult. You know, hindsight is 20/20. But I think that w-what I am absolutely convinced of is that, uh, at that time, we had to change the political debate because the view of the, uh (pause), Bush administration at that time was one that I disagreed with.
===================================
How self-deluded are you idiots. This impresses you?
LOL…. Only political whores can be impressed by this Trojan Horse.
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Oh boy he did it again!
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Yeah cause McCain isn’t a total fool right, Vinnie Pee?
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Good job, Mary! You’re very creative.
lol, FuryUs.
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:30 pm
There’s more intellect in Obama’s umms and duhs than in dang near anything that comes out of Georgie’s mouth.
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:44 pm
Thanks FuRyUs! Glad you’re here tonite! Love your comments.
Hey, Vince …didya know that the Saudi’s were paying the Sunys (sp?) to go after Al Queda. Maybe this played a big part in getting the Iraq situation to clam down a bit. Follow the money trail…
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:47 pm
The Alan colmes show is on the air in 5 minutes!
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
RJ, Alan did interview McCain a couple years ago when he was pushing his “Courage” book. Alan was totally nice to him…so what’s John’s problem now! OH I forgot he’s runnin’ (walkin’?) for President!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:03 pm
Hey guys! I hope we have a good night together. In the effort to ensure that, I will not be acknowledging any negative comments from the usual negative commenter(s). Just FYI. Also, thunderstorm here in town, plus the old laptop, so don’t expect quick replies.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:04 pm
Novak hit a person on a bicycle (failure to yield). Oh my God!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Novak? who’s Novak?
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:07 pm
Mary: All sides are playing all sides against all sides.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:08 pm
Now Obama is claiming to belong to the Banking Committe… he’s taking credit for a tough anti-Iran bill.
Obama is not on the Banking Committee.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Mitt Romney as VP? hahahahahahahaha
McCain/Romney a ticket of failure…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:12 pm
I don’t know if you guys caught the end of H&C, but Hannity made reference to a comment by Obama in which he said-
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun”.
I have so far not been able to locate the exact context of this quote. Obama could have just as well been talking about how conservatives always portray him in a negative light. In other words, if he says that he doesn’t NECESSARILY want our soldiers to die fighting genocide in another country, then he’s pro-genocide.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:12 pm
McCain/Anyone is a ticket of failure against Obama
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Obama’s trip they wanted him to take wasn’t the failure they were hoping for. McCain, on the other hand, had another, ANOTHER week full of mistakes…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:14 pm
btw, here’s a link ref to the “knife/gun fight” thing:
http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/06/14/obama-no-surrender-if-they-bring-a-knife-to-the-fight-we-bring-a-gun/
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:14 pm
i’m sorry, i’m drinking right now. can someone less intoxicated search you tube for a vid on this? i just tried a search using “obama we bring a gun” and didn’t find anythingon first page.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Cheryl, I was talking of Bob Novak who used to be on CNN’s Capital Gang & played a role in the Wilson/CIA leak..
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Cheryl, I don’t get Fox news on my cable tv so I’m clueless about that.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Novak is the guy who printed Valerie Plame’s name and the name of her front company, Brewster Jennings.
Also:
Dana Milbank reported in the Washington Post that Richard Perle was the chief suspect in another Novak-assisted leak of classified information in December 1975: “Novak, with his late partner Rowland Evans, got the classified leak — that President Gerald R. Ford and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger were ready to make concessions to the Soviet Union to save the SALT II treaty. Donald H. Rumsfeld, then, as now, the secretary of defense, intervened to block Kissinger.” Perle at the time was “an influential aide to Sen. Henry Scoop Jackson (D-Wash.) … The account was described in a 1977 article in The Washington Post, noting Perle’s ’special access’ to Evans and Novak.”
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Cool, OldLefty is here!
thanks for the info.
anyone found anything on the knife/gun fight thing?
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:23 pm
Novak the Prince of Darkness…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:24 pm
Obama’s trip has exposed McCain as the out of touch fool that he is…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Obama doesn’t need Hillary…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:28 pm
She could do MUCH more in the Senate working with Obama than she could as VP…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:29 pm
FuRyUs,
While, “Novak the Prince of Darkness…” IS the proper name, Jon Stewart calls him “douchebag of Liberty”.
Cheryl, Thank you for the salutation, but it’s bedtime for Bonzo. ( I subscribe to the podcast, and listen the next day.)
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:29 pm
Hey! I like Hillary!!!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Colmes is a shill.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
CBS is in the tank for McCain hahaha
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Obama will pick Sebelius, the Governor of Kansas.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Obama/Colmes ‘08!!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:34 pm
Maybe Dan Rather is Katie’s mentor?
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:37 pm
McCain is just starting to sound sad and pathetic…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:39 pm
i know, david duke. he sucks, too. he payed Talkers Magazine to rank him as the #16 talk show host in their “Heavy Hundred” list. after that pay-off, Alan is now broke and unable to feed his family. his wife and beagle are now the size of toothpicks. it’s a sad, sad state of affairs.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Alan, Although I am supporting Obama, I have previously respected McCain for his political views (remember when he was partnering with Al Gore?)However, he is now embarassing himself…kind of sad really.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:41 pm
Mary- interesting guesstimate. I’m not really paying attention to the list of possiple VP’s bc I can’t stand the wait. I don’t think I’ve heard Sebellius’ name yet.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I know hope is dwindling, but I am still excited about an Obama / Hillary ticket.
Cheryl, I’m with ya ~ I love Hillary!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
I have the UTMOST respect for McCain’s military record. I can’t say enough how much I respect that man. It could be bc I’m a “military brat”, but I will never say anything to criticize his heroism in war, and his dedication to to th American public. But right now the public’s concern is who is the best person for the job of POTUS, and McCain ain’t it.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:43 pm
hi, Danielle!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Cheryl, Is that for real about Duke?
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
btw, the Talkers Magazine list was dominated by conservative hosts (obviously). Limbaugh at #1, Hannity at #2, Ed Schultz at #8. So Alan is the 2nd most listened to liberal on the air. Stephanie Miller(who I respect, even though I can’t stand listening to her) was #23.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:45 pm
OMG, MARY. it was SARCASM.
LOL, girl!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Mary, did you read this part of that comment?
“Alan is now broke and unable to feed his family. his wife and beagle are now the size of toothpicks. it’s a sad, sad state of affairs”
silly woman. :-) i love alan.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
although, i don’t love him as much as Epiphany. no one does.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:47 pm
Kathleen Sebelius is Ohio born & daughter of a former Governor of Ohio who was very popular. She is an eloquent speaker who is able to get Dems & Repubs to cooperate with each other in Kansas. Very popular there. I think she would be an unbelievably strong assest to his campaign and a viable VP.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
I bet Obama will pick Biden…
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I’ve never read Talker’s Mag so I have no idea what they’d say.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:51 pm
here’s the link to the rankings from Talkers Mag. they supplied the rankings, i supplied the sarcasm.
http://www.talkers.com/main/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=19&Itemid=44
i was just being a smart ass. david duke is so ignorant, you just have to laugh, you know?
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:53 pm
Hey cool, Alan’s getting some good callers tonite!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
Sebelius sounds like a great pic, especially since she’s a woman. I mean, I would want to look at her record and all that, but I’d also really like to see a woman VP or P. I’d prefer that woman be Hillary, but picking someone like Sebellius would probably pacify the most of Hill’s supporters. Especially is Sebellius is kick-ass.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:55 pm
my bad, Stephanie Miller is #28.
she’s funny as hell, but she doesn’t cover the issues as well as Alan does. too much joking around. but some people go for the non-stop gags.
as i’ve said before, people like different things from their media outlet. which is why people who don’t like alan shoul djust go else where. i don’t rag on Stephanie, i just don’t listen to her.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Cheryl, re: Duke…I couldn’t I agree more! Glad for your humor!
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
ALAN- this is called the “Live Thread”. that’s what we call it, bc we blog live on it.
July 23rd, 2008 at 10:57 pm
what the hell was that last caller’s point?
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:00 pm
I bet Obama will pick Biden…
by FuRyUs July 23, 2008 at 10:50 pm
I hope so.. that would be probably the most humorless , narcissistic, arrogant ticket ever.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:02 pm
I don’t listen to any other talk shows. Alan is the only one. I’ve tried to listen to others but I end up tuning them off after about 5 minutes.
I love the way Alan gets people to think (for themselves)! He is fascinating in the way he presents issues with humor & intelligence simultaneously.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
Alan, Please oh please play the Craig “gas nozzle” tape again! That was so hilarious last nite! I gotta hear that one more time…
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
I just think your grate.you sure bring the nut’s.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Will this cost Katie her job? lol
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:09 pm
Katie has taken a lot of flack which I don’t think she deserves. But…if she’s the one who edited the interview she’s got a real problem there.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:21 pm
Listen to the demonic Jew tell his lies and try to brainwash those who believe the Zionist hoax. You’ve been exposed bitch and now you are angry because we all know the Zionists are liars and deniers of truth. FUCK YOU.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
Dorothy, Hello! I’ve often thought that Alan deserves a reward from U.S. law enforcement for keeping some really strange folks off the streets at night!
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
The only thing worse than Cheryl are anti-semites.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:26 pm
hi Dorothy!
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
mary- i didn’t have cable for months after i moved, so i got used to listening to talk radio. i can’t stand Limbaugh, but i’ll listen to him for a few minutes just so that i’m in the loop, so to speak. i’ll listen to hannity for at most an hour. after that, i get sick of hearing about how much he loves america, and hearing him repeat himself on points over and over again. hannity likes to begin sentences in paragraphs with the same phrase. example “the reason i love american is bc… the reason i love american is bc.. the reason i love america is bc…” and it just goes on and on.
now, i really like mark levin. he’s funny.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:30 pm
“I’ve often thought that Alan deserves a reward from U.S. law enforcement for keeping some really strange folks off the streets at night!”
ha ha, lol
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:31 pm
this guy just answered his own question. the “3 major news anchors” travelled with obama bc it’s news.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:36 pm
The Freemasons are engaged in a secret conspiracy to control us all through deceit and theft.
Pass it around.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
I want the Zionists to know they’ve been exposed. That’s why I listen to this liar, but fortunately half a dozen people see through his lies and are not brainwashed by his Zionist false conservative counterpart’s lies either. More and more people know the truth about the Jewish bankers and the evils of the Zionist state. Listen to his anger when people don’t like his attempt to tell them what to think. You Jews have failed, NEVER AGAIN!
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:41 pm
Alan has many rightwing callers. They’re drawn to Colmes like a moth is drawn to a flame. Like moths, the conservatives just keep diving at the flame until they get toasted.
Conservatives are moths (fragile, winged insects) and Colmes is light.
That’s a good analogy?
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:45 pm
My banker is a Baptist.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
what was the conspiracy that guy was talking about in first word?
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:50 pm
Gettin’ sleepy. TTYL. TY&GN
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:50 pm
It’s your show, not his. Hang up on him.
You don’t have to have your own people in Iraq for your opinion to count. You’re funding it. You’re an American and this is being done in your name. It’s not political. It’s only about what’s right and wrong.
The people who’re calling you up and telling you to shut up would find a better home in communist China or the old Soviet Union.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:52 pm
night mary
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:53 pm
[passes out the chocolate chip cookies]
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
I feel so bad for those parents. But what they’re not understanding is that disagreeing with the REASONS that we are fighting a war does not mean that you do not want each and every soldier to come home safely. In fact, you feel the pain of their deaths more poignantly bc if we were not in this war, those lives would have not been lost.
Also, I have not heard any conservative talk shows read the names of the dead soldiers the way that Alan consistently does every week.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
[passes out from the Chinese food]
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
damn it, i’m trying to get through and it’s busy.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
EPIPHANY!!!!!!!!1
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:55 pm
lol, hello Cheryl and All. :)
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
i’m waiting for the day that alan goes off on the callers who say “hold on, let me finish”.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
where you been all night?
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
I love it when Alan goes into his psycho-manic routine. It just cracks me up.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 pm
Eating Chinese food. Wonton soup, eggroll, Curry Shrimp, Crabmeat Lo Mein and ice tea. Fortune cookies.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 pm
is it just me, or has alan had a stressful two weeks?
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
YUMMMMMM. i love all of the above.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Haha me too.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:59 pm
let me put it another way- he’s not acting stressed, but if i were him i would be stressed. depending on where i was on my “cycle”, i would have flipped out on someone or broken down in tears.
but that’s just me.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am
All of the sudden, I’m hungry.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am
E, how are the fortune cookies in the city? Lately the ones I see are all really really profound, like, “Sing a song and world smiles with you.”
July 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am
i’m about a half hour behind on xm radio…the callers seem to be building to a rage tonight
July 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am
dammit, the line is still busy.
AIMEE!!!!!!!!!!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I don’t think it’s anymore stressful than usual, maybe bc the closer we get in the election, the more worked up conservatives are. So in that case, it will get a lot worse. In general and on Alan’s show.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:01 am
I keep getting posts in between posts, which weren’t there the first time I hit refresh.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:01 am
well, i had a couple of beers earlier so i got the after beer munchies. so i cooked some tuna helper, but instead of using tuna i mixed in turkey pepporoni. DAMNED GOOD STUFF. and i just made some blueberry muffins. MUNCHIES!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:02 am
RC- why didn’t you ditch work last night so that you could blog with us? who cares about money to pay for dumb things like food and shelter when your friends need you?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:03 am
‘Mouse- what city or state do you live in?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:04 am
Heh, ya and I could just rationalize that I’m going on a diet.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:04 am
cheryl….um….are you high??
July 24th, 2008 at 12:05 am
i’m in VA, LV is in NV, E and RC are in NY, flap is in TN, WFG is in VA
July 24th, 2008 at 12:05 am
i’m in VA, LV is in NV, E and RC are in NY, flap is in TN, WFG is in VA, pooh is in TX
July 24th, 2008 at 12:05 am
RC, they suck. The cookies you get now are not made as well, they are very light, like paper and very sugary.
Here are my “fortunes”:
“Your kindness is surely to be repaid”
“Only you can decide what is important to you”
July 24th, 2008 at 12:06 am
nope, tipsy. can’t smoke pot, i get paranoid. and the munchies are worse with pot.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Maybe those “couple of beers” were pints, eh?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:06 am
Hey Alan:
Are you going to do the story about the DNC Host Committee in Denver somehow managing to get its gasoline tax-free direct from the city of Denver from the same facilities Denver uses for the police?
Isn’t this disrespectful abuse of power a slap in the face of all of us littel guys who dont get the big breaks the Democrats in power get?
I would like to see some accountability. Who do these jerks think they are … this whole country is sufferinging from these out of control prices and the DNC wills itself exempt from taxes on fuel?
It’s outrageous.

“Only you can decide what is important to you”
Yeah, that’s what I’m seeing. What good are fortune cookies if they don’t predict the future?

It’s a Zionist conspiracy.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:07 am
Hello Cheryl… I want a shout out from Alan!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:07 am
“It’s a Zionist conspiracy.”
Maybe it’s the Zionist Masons.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:09 am
You got it backwards you Zionist liar, everyone knows that AIPAC and Israel run true America!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:09 am
Alan gave us a shoutout? I missed it, what did he say>?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:10 am
Wait a minute, who’s a Zionist? THere’s Zionists here? OMG!!! OMG!!! OMG!!!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:11 am
It’s not Israel. It’s Jewish deli’s.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:12 am
Marvin Hamlisch and Barry Manilow run America.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:12 am
what ever happened to the civility that used to exist between people?
Well sir while I disagree with what you have to say, I’ll fight to my last breath to defend your right to say it.
that and… I thought Conservatives wanted less government. So why are conservatives trying to make more and more laws telling me what I can and can’t do in my life?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:16 am
Here Here for the last two callers. Bravo!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:17 am
You lie, its the socialists in Europe who put you in prison if you tell the TRUTH. And Colmes and his ilk will make it the same here if we do not expose their agenda.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:18 am

A matzoh ball in every pot!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:24 am
please don’t tell anyone that i’m a zionist freemason. we have a very vast and SECRET conspiracy. if any member of my group finds out that my cover has been blown, they will assassinate me immediately.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:24 am
I drove through Zion, IL on the way to Racine, WI once.
Unless I missed it, there was no sign on the edge of town that said, “Zionists conspire to run America from here”. But, maybe it’s not something they’d advertise.
Pretty good kringle (huge, ringed Danish pastry) up that way though. I’m hungry again.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Zionists make good lovers!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:25 am
pooh, i ain’t in no stinkin’ south carolina.

lol. pooh, i think that MOUSE is the one who’s high.
speaking of being high, where are our resident potheads tonight?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:26 am
cheryl…all the south is the same to me… :)
July 24th, 2008 at 12:26 am
what’s a matzoh ball? is that one of those new york things?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:27 am
I’ve been to Intercourse, Pennsylvannia. Not much action there.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:27 am
mouse may be huffing at this point
July 24th, 2008 at 12:27 am
LOL YOU TWO
July 24th, 2008 at 12:28 am
Hmm, I think there’s a town called Blue Balls too.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:28 am
You don’t know what a matzoh ball is? lol. It’s a Jewish recipe and is uaually found in chicken soup. Hopefully with carrots and celery. I can’t remember the recipe but it’s DELICIOUS!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:28 am
there’s a town called BUMPASS about 40 minutes for me. no joke.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:29 am
I’ve been to Happy, Texas. It made me sad.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:29 am
LOL pooh!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Could Louie Farakan be a zionist freemason?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:30 am
Farakkhan is a zionist freemason member of the Illumanati. don’t forget the Illuminati, Mouse.
ha ha pooh, stay out of Happy!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:32 am
I thought Conservatives wanted less government. So why are conservatives trying to make more and more laws telling me what I can and can’t do in my life?
by Bryan July 24, 2008 at 12:16 am
What laws are those?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:32 am
I love these Fox radio ads. Al Qeada won’t attack us because we all have guns at home.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:32 am
Can I be a liberal conservative?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:32 am
You know, it just occurred to me that since there are more guns in Texas than people, then by definition there’s more guns in Texas than brains.

For soft matzo balls
1 cup matzo meal
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
4 tablespoons oil or melted schmaltz (fat)
2 teaspoons baking powder
For firm matzo balls the above plus
4 tablespoons water or broth
baking powder (delete for firm matzo balls)
Optional Ingredients — all some or none
1 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional)
1 teaspoon dill weed (optional)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (optional)
Directions
1Follow these instructions carefully.
2Measure and mix dry ingredients into a bowl.
3Individually break the eggs into a clear glass, discarding any with blood spots, and then pour into a second bowl.
4Add oil or schmaltz (and water or broth for firm matzo balls) to the eggs and stir gently with a fork until the yolks are broken and the oil just mixed.
5Pour egg mixture into the dry mixture and gently mix with the fork.
6DO NOT OVER MIX.
7Treat it like a muffin mixture; if you over mix they will be tough.
8Place in the fridge for 1 hour.
9Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil on the stove.
10After matzo ball mix has set, gently remove teaspoon fulls of the batter and roll into 1-2″ balls and drop into the water.
11When all the balls are in the water leave it to boil until all the balls float to the top, then lower the temperature to a rolling simmer for 40 minutes and your matzo balls will be ready.
12DO NOT STIR AT ANY TIME.
13The matzo balls may be removed from the water with a slotted spoon and served in soup, with a stew, as a side dish with gravy or placed on a cookie sheet and frozen covered for a later use.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:34 am
YES YOU CAN! bc we’re all about CHANGE in the Obama camp.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:35 am
LOL RC
July 24th, 2008 at 12:35 am
thanks for the recipe, E. but i’m kind of scared to try that out. sounds like one of those crazy big city things.
jk
July 24th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Easy on my state there RC…remember we’re the state that said the hell with everything and opened the door to everyone from New Orleans right after Katrina
July 24th, 2008 at 12:36 am
Hmmm, would it be correct to assume that “schmaltz” is some other than “Schlitz”?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:36 am
where’d ‘Mouse go? he kind of just sits around reading our comments, waiting for the opportunity to drop in a zinger.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:37 am
I’ve never made Matzoh balls either. I just eat ‘em. In chicken soup.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:37 am
Alan can see into the future. He should work for a fortune cookie company.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:38 am
I love Texas. I think Texans are great. I truely believe that Walker: Texas Ranger could win the war on terror single-handed, because Chuck Norris is the ultimate fighting machine. The only thing is you keep letting all these people from Kennebunkport move in and act like they belong in Texas.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:38 am
YaY Cheryl!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:40 am
How about Bufurd (sp?) Pusser?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
“… i think that MOUSE is the one who’s high.”
High on Kringle?
I mailed some stuff to Intercourse, PA once. I was embarrassed. That’s Amish country. You’d think people who only wear black and won’t use zippers would be more careful about their city names.
I lived next to an elderly Jewish couple in Chicago for a couple years. Boy, that ol’ lady could cook. I never had any idea what I was eatin’ but it was always good. I never thought to ask them if they were conspiring to take over America. The older gentleman wasn’t a banker, he was a retired baker. Maybe “David Duke” meant to say the retired Jewish bakers want to run America?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
heh heh…from my place, i’m literally 16 minutes away from the city of Crawford…and went to college at the same place where papa Bush’s library is (Texas A&M)…acutally have met the man a couple of times…we didn’t choose them, they chose us…can’t blame us for that
July 24th, 2008 at 12:41 am
and Chuck Norris the one of the nicest people i have ever met…he gets a kick out of the stuff said about him
July 24th, 2008 at 12:42 am
Thanks, E.
Speaking of “high” heroes, have you guys seen previews for the new Ben Stiller movie? I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THAT ONE.

July 24th, 2008 at 12:43 am
I’m reading one of Kevin Phillips’ books right now, and he’s got a book on the Bush “dynasty”. I’m going to check that out after I’m done with this one, but I know I’ll only be able to read it with a bottle of vodka and a punching bag next to me.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Oh wait! I’ve got pointless trivia. The “Pennsylvania Dutch” is actually a corruption of Pennsylvania “Deutsch”.
Good call C.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:44 am
Jewish people can cook! Oh my God, the food is soooo good. And good for gaining weight. Perogies, stuffed cabbage from scratch, chopped liver and giffilte fish…
July 24th, 2008 at 12:45 am
thanks, Mary. thanks, RC. you guys are good blog friends. very supportive and all that. :0)
July 24th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Heh, Chuck Norris jokes. “Chuck Norris is the most awesome power in the universe.” “Yeah? So what happens if he punches himself?” “I don’t know, dude, it’ll be like the end of everything.”
July 24th, 2008 at 12:46 am
god i must be drunk…my last sentence didn’t make sense
July 24th, 2008 at 12:46 am
epiphany- you’re speaking jibberish to me. i don’t know anythign about that.
that’s one reason NY is so cool, there are so many cultures smushed into a small area.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Intercouse PA was beautiful. Interesting people, the Amish. didn’t want us to take any pictures though of them.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:47 am
RC- did you see my comment after your grammar/spelling lesson on “their, they’re, there”? i was giggling the whole time i wrote it and couldn’t wait for you to read it.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:47 am
what’re you sippin’ on, pooh?
i’d like to go to intercourse, PA. that’s so crazy that Amish people live there.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:48 am
You can find any kind of food from anywhere in the world here. Everything is expensive though.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:49 am
had a bad day so i’m sipping a little crown royal…
July 24th, 2008 at 12:49 am
Gif-felta fish, hmm. Perogies I’m not sure.
And yeah, Pooh, pretty heavy on the (…..) elipses., heh.

July 24th, 2008 at 12:52 am
how much money does the average person need to make to survive there, e? here it’s like 30k for a barely decent living.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:53 am
C: yes i did, ha ha ha, and now I can’t find the thread of course LoL.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Hey Vinnie Pee, why don’t you take a break from typing and stick both your hands up your ass…
July 24th, 2008 at 12:53 am
i knew you’d get a kick out that. that kind of thing is a big pet peeve for me too
July 24th, 2008 at 12:55 am
Vince P. speaks the truth. James David Manning is a good man and has been threatened with death. Think about it, every black man who has ever run for president has been demonized and now the Jew media celebrates this Afro-Leninist turncoat who is far more dangerous than Sharpton or Jackson ever were. For every liberal who has gloated about the betrayal of George Bush I hope all of you brainwashed socialists who believe the Zionists feel the same when you are burning ash. LaRouche has been marginalized so Ralph Nader is our only hope if you are not a traitor. Save true America!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:55 am
Are you ignoring me again, cheryl? HaHa J/k….
no really, are you?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:56 am
David Duke, if you would tone it down a bit you might get someone to do more than make fun of you or write you off as a nut
July 24th, 2008 at 12:56 am
That’s a hard question to answer Cheryl. It depends on what your expenses are and where you live and so on. I’ll guess at about $60,000 to $100,000?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:57 am
LOL JASON. no, i’m not ignoring you. i’m tipsy, didn’t you see? plus you drop like one comment and then disappear. didn’t know you were still around.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:57 am
LV!!!!!!!! Where were you tonight?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:57 am

new york sucks.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:58 am
anyway, tobias woke up a few minutes ago and i have to get him back in bed.
July 24th, 2008 at 12:58 am
Duke likes to use entymology but doesn’t know the meanings of his words. Afro-Leninist turncoat? What the HELL does that mean?
July 24th, 2008 at 12:59 am
I’ve been lurking on and off….I tuned in at first but there was too much McCain bashing going on so I turned on comedy central. I just couldn’t handle politician bashing tonight.

Fox News is in the tank for McCain, didn’t see him complaining about that.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:19 am
Calling the surge a “success” is like putting a big expensive band-aid on a gaping bloody wound.
I’m so tired of republicans searching desperately for any scrap of evidence to support their faith that Iraq benefits from us being there.
Soon as you rip off the band-aid that gash is gonna bleed. Bad.
Should we just stay forever? Will republicans continue to find new reasons to stay? New hopes to sell? Can we keep this billion dollar band-aid on for another 4 years? 8?
What our next president should focus on is creating a plan to get us out quickly and finding out how to keep Iraq from bleeding to death once we’re gone.
July 24th, 2008 at 1:34 am
Poor Noel, so troubled by the prospect of American victory.
Why do you hate America so much, scumbag?
July 24th, 2008 at 1:43 am
Ha!
Wow, you need some tissue to wipe off that republican splooge on your lips Vince?
Talk about parroting some stale rhetoric, American victory? Really? In Iraq?
At least parrots know when to say something new.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:18 am
I’m not a Republican. You’ll have to try another lie to tell.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:33 am
ALAN- can we have RED EYE on again, please? I’m watching them tonight, and they are oh so FUNNY! having those goofballs on is always good comic relief.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:08 am
their “coverage” on the birth of Matthew McConnaughey’s son is HILARIOUS
July 24th, 2008 at 3:08 am
Obama is now supporting the doctrine of Preemptive military strikes:
Couric: This is not a speculative question then. Was it appropriate, in your view, for Israel to take out that suspected Syrian nuclear site last year?
Obama: Yes. I think that there was sufficient evidence that they were developing a site using a nuclear or using … a blueprint that was similar to the North Korean model. There was some concern as to what the rationale for that site would be. And, again, ultimately, I think these are decisions that the Israelis have to make. But, you know, the Israelis live in a very tough neighborhood where a lot of folks, publicly proclaim Israel as an enemy and then act on those proclamations.
And I think that you know … it’s important … for me not to you know, engage in speculation on what steps they need to take. What I can do is to provide leadership so that the United States government hopefully doesn’t get us into a position where those decisions are so difficult. That’s why applying tough diplomacy, direct diplomacy, and tough sanctions where necessary is so important.
==============
And in this anwser to Katie’s question , he is basically admitting that he was advocating for a policy of surrender with absolutely no thought given to the consequences of the action.
This guy is unfit. He’s a fucking fool.
Couric: And I really don’t mean to belabor this, Senator, because I’m really, I’m trying … to figure out your position. Do you think the level of security in Iraq …
Obama: Yes.
Couric … would exist today without the surge?
Obama: Katie, I have no idea what would have happened had we applied my approach, which was to put more pressure on the Iraqis to arrive at a political reconciliation. So this is all hypotheticals. What I can say is that there’s no doubt that our U.S. troops have contributed to a reduction of violence in Iraq. I said that, not just today, not just yesterday, but I’ve said that previously. What that doesn’t change is that we’ve got to have a different strategic approach if we’re going to make America as safe as possible.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:36 am
This is from a USAF friend in Afghanistan:
Hello everyone,
As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to ‘ The War Zone ‘ . I wanted to share with you what happened.
He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.
As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand, he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the Americans back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don’t understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.
In service,
CPT J
Bagram, Afghanistan
