Before this primary campaign season began the race was Hillary's to lose. It is now apparent that the infelicitous candidate has accomplished the feat.

It has come to this? A Catholic priest no less.......

[tioga]

Hope y’all find this.......I am posting it after one a.m. eastern time........see you after I get some sleep.

[JRios1968]

Obambi’s relations with religion seem to be infelicitous.

[Texas Eagle]

Nancy Pelosi’s infelicitous praise for Iran’s role in bring peace and stability to Basra instead of applauding the efforts and sacrifice of US Marines only serves to confirm that she is worthless sack of crap.

[dr_lew]

MILAN, Italy (AP) - First it was the film and the book. Now the next stop for Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” is opera.

... say no more, say no more.

[Slip18]

No. 3!!!

[SAJ]

There will never be a more infellatious president than Xlintoon.

[TypeZoNegative]

Bookmarked.

[Mark]

These fancy words scare me!

[tioga]

When I first saw the clips of the Rev. Phleger I thought it was a comedian.......NOT a real priest during a homily!

[tioga]

A+

You would think her face would crack when she says such outrageous things.

[tioga]

Pefect example of infelicitous. HOW does he keep making money on this scam?

[tioga]

(snicker)

[tioga]

Dang, Slip......you are No. 6! You just can't beat those insomniacs! LOL

[theDentist]

So, what are you wearing to bed? Wait, don't answer. It was an infelicitous inquiry on my behalf.

I shoulda asked for you to post a photo. :-)

[Randy Papadoo]

I watched through my front window as a glabrous infelicitous squatted on my front lawn. I chased him off, but stepped in the steaming pile of Obama it left on my lawn. Hosed off my shoe, then went back inside and watched current political events on TV.

Was this too infelicitous?

[CholeraJoe]

Present!

[RU88]

The infelicitous remarks of Father Pleger are just another insightful glimpse into the hearts and minds of the false messiah’s close supporters.

[tioga]

A+

This isn't the first time I have heard about pleger....he must have been jealous of all the attention rev wright got.

[tioga]

A

Hhhhmmmm.

[tioga]

LOL

[secret garden]

Good morning! I don’t want to seem infelicitous and just lurk without saying hi.

[NicknamedBob]

Good Morning!

My infidelicitous remark of the day is that if Mohammed were alive today, he and Bill Clinton would be great buddies.

[tioga]

Mohammad and Bill......great buddies right up until they decapitate him.

A+

[Dick Vomer]

It has come to this? A Catholic priest no less.......

the communists in the Catholic church are killing it quicker than any pogrom could. The infelicitous remarks by this repugnant agitator in a priest's collar should be shown all over the country.

(shaking my head and wondering why the Church allows this to go on)

[tioga]

We need to send this video to the Vatican and ask for an explanation. Seems pfleger and obama go way back to his early days.

[tioga]

oh, yeah.... A+

[NeoCaveman]

I say not seating Michigan is infelicitious,
And that the popcorn tastes delicious.
Picking a guy with connections so shady
And has a preacher from Hades
That's no way to treat a first lady.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Obama, King of Gaffe, infelicitous
Then he’s morose, calm and serene, and so solicitous
And yet the dems, they love Barack
They booted Clinton, who isn’t black
For John McCain, who’s very lame, it’s serendipitous

[tioga]

-the infighting is so malicious.......even the white catholic pfleger need some of this action.

A+++

[tioga]

If McCain cannot win in this field we are doomed...

A+++

[NeoCaveman]

Father Flakey is the Vanilla Ice of preaching.

[NeoCaveman]

Actually we are doomed either way.

I’m thinking of the next couple of years a “rebuilding years”

[tioga]

My insightful smart daddy once told me that in politics the pendulum is swinging (just like the weather patterns) and the farther it swings to the left it will swing just as hard to the right gaining a little each time. The only good thing about a potential Obama win will be the disaster that swings it harder to the right.

[mikrofon]

Bubba is becoming increasingly infelicitous that he’ll likely be infellatious in the Oval Office again, given Hillary’s diminishing chances...

[tioga]

A+

Bubba’s been working hard to keep her out of there...all while wagging his finger at us......let’s hope the oval office sink is safe.

[NeoCaveman]

Then maybe we could get some conservative leadership for a change.

[SoothingDave]

The problem with that analogy is that pendula swing less far each time past.

[tioga]

-as with any analogy there are flaws.

[tioga]

-as with any analogy there are flaws.

[tioga]

-and then again there are the bubbas that give the pendula a big shove.....like Carter? even Bubba....and Bush....throws it all off.

[SoothingDave]

I’m thinking like the “Pirate ship” amusement park ride. Sometimes there is a big spinning tire out there to give it a kick in the rear.

[MoochPooch]

Seems like the whole campaign has been nothing but infelicitous remarks.

Nice weekend, everyone.

[secret garden]

There is nothing infelicitous about Bob Dole's response to that little weasel McClellan. Where is the outrage? In Bob Dole's pen. Woo-hoo!

[tioga]

I LOVE it!

A+++

Britt lambasted him yesterday...he had me cheering!

[SoothingDave]

Bob Dole’s pen is mighter than his sword.

[SoothingDave]

Is mama-san still at the grocery store? Where’s my peanut butter?

[tioga]

-just caught McCain's response to the pfleger broohaha and he gave a tasteful comment about it....have to admit it was a measured presidential answer to the question.

[tioga]

did he give up the viagra?

[Slip18]

I want to tell you Miss Infelicitous Tioga that I was No. 4, not No. 6 as you so alluded, nor No. 3 as I so infelicitously scribed.

I don’t even know the insomniacs, although I’m one myself. LOL!
