Liberals, generaly being socialists, are therefore pro-plenipotentiary in nature. Note to self: repeat as needed.

This morning, Steve Doocy unloaded on the plenipotentiary of NBC news, Keith Olberman, the failed sportscaster who is now supposedly a newscaster, for picking on his kid, college student Peter Doocy.

The Senate had the power, plenipotentiary
To rule on Clinton’s actions, evidentiary
After he was impeached
Wrong decisions were reached
He should be doing plenty in a penitentiary

Keith Overbite from Countdown to No Ratings is really the worst person in the world, he’s also a big pervert.

I didn’t figure I’d have to wait long for a “penitentiary” reference.

You'll probably get plenty penitentiary references.

I find him so smarmy I can’t believe he has a following. I would love to see Eugene Levy do a parody of him.

If the US population is 305 million, then 304 million do not watch “Countdown to No Ratings”.

He jumped ugly on him, calling him the world’s worst person. Steve laid him out, but good, for picking on a kid who asked questions and has no forum by which to respond to his attacks.

so why, so far after the fact, is Olbermann dredging this up to beat on some kid? i understand that he hates all things conservative, including Doocy, but to rag on someone’s kid is pondscum low.

Hey Obambi. If you don't want your wife and her comments to be an issue in the campaign, don't make her your plenipotentiary.

The Clintons, generally being socialists, democrats, and criminals (but I repeat myself), are therefore pro-plentipenitentiary in nature. Note to self: repeat as needed.

Re: More Overbite

Low Rated In Bed

A 30-something office worker of Caribbean descent, KarmaBites1 said she struck up an e-mail friendship with Olbermann, whom she admired, and agreed to fly to New York to meet him last May. She says he came to her hotel room and opened a bottle of Merlot which he "spilled all over." Then, when "sexual activity began [in] less than an hour," Olbermann had difficulty. "I pretended he knew what he was doing," the embittered blogger writes. "I adored the guy. I didn't want him to think he was a dud in bed," so she faked experiencing ecstasy.

Although both campaigns began with plenty o’ potential POTUS contenders, do the surviving two candidates really represent the plenipotentiaries that each party’s base was looking for?

i just heard the news about Fat Ted and am praying for his immortal soul, that he gets right with God and sees the error of his ways before his time is up. it is going to be hard to listen to the endless encomiums that are even now being poured out for that guy.

and once again, before I get to the computer and hear the news ALL the threads are locked down again. I would post on the prayer thread, but the “god is your moderator” comment is pretty offensive. am I in a parallel universe or something? ........thank God Jim is returning home, the sooner he’s back the better.

Encomium? Talk about a potential wftd choice. I’m listening to FPL talk on the phone with Lance Armstrong who claims to worship Fat Ted. Could he disappoint me more? I don’t think so.

May God give him the grace of final penitence so he can truly repent for the good of his soul.

i think all they are saying with the God is your Moderator is to be guided by your conscience and not be a jerk and wish ill on fat ted bc of political differences. there are those that cannot say anything positive about anyone who is a dem. i don’t care what Ted Kennedy has done in his life, God is his judge and will deal with him. i would not wish cancer or a brain tumor on my worst enemy. he and his family have my prayers, and it is my prayer that he come to realize the errors he has committed in this life.

i think some on here tried to defend him and said that there was more to that story. i didn't buy that.

i had to take loosh to the vet this aft to have his anal glands expressed, he was obsessively butt-scooting and just looking very uncomfortable. he is back to his normal cheery self now, thankfully.

i was reading the ted kennedy prayer thread and noticed that every 5th post had to be pulled by the mods. why can’t freepers realize that we are not godless heathens wishing death and destructions on our opponents as the DUers do. we are BETTER than they are.

The putative plenipotentiary professes a plethora of pungent poppycock in his attempts to pimp for his plucky pigeon. The parasitic former president postulates across the plains in his patriarchal desire for his plug-ugly to preside over the oval office, so he can plumb his latest paramour in the Lincoln bedroom.

I posted a thread last Friday, with the exact title...and the mod jumped right in accusing me of changing the title....which I did not do......someone needs to be reigned in. I am still ticked off about that....belittled woman......I will be relieved when Jim can retake the reigns of FR.
