DUmmie FUnnies 08-10-08 (DUmmies Ashamed of US Winning in the Olympics)

DUmmie FUnnies ^ | 8/10/2008 | 28erl, DUmmies, and Paul Heinzman

[Mr. Silverback]

Have you noticed how Bush being a cokehead (even though there’s no evidence of such a thing happening) and Bush’s drinking (even though he was able to quite cold turkey and has been sober for decades) is a big deal with the DUmmies, but Obama’s coke use (which definitely happened and has been admitted by him) is not a big deal at all?

[Choose Ye This Day]

Have you ever noticed that ONLY conservatives and ONLY Christians can be tagged as “hypocrites” by the DUmmies? That’s the biggest (and only) sin as seen by the left: being a hypocrite.

Somehow, I guess, the leftists are never hypocrites because they don’t have ethical standards or moral principles, I guess. (Even though Gore is a hypocrite about his own polluting ways, but Saint Albert never gets called on it.)

Somebody’s endo is another thing you shouldn’t be bringing up on this board.

An "endo" has an entirely different meaning to a dirtbiker like myself.

FWIW, they ain't pretty (if they happen to you) and can be quite painful....

[Purrcival]

Yes, I have noticed that double standard. I’ve also noticed how they’ve been using Edwards’ pecadillo as an excuse to slip McCain’s 30-odd-year-old infidelity and divorce into the discussion.

Anyway, here’s something that debunks the Globe story:

Maybe the Globe read this as a family split? From the link: "White House communications director Kevin Sullivan said the couple will split their time between Dallas and their ranch in Crawford." I.E. He at the ranch; her in Dallas...

Don't think so? Neither do I. Why print the truth when you can draw more sales by printing garbage?

[xtinct]

Individual achievement = reward = invention and excellence.

DUmmies don't quite fathom that a participation award doesn't add up to incentive - achievement - invention - excellence.

US athletes spend years training for their place on the Olympic Team. If the DUmmies want to hold a pity party for anybody, they can start with those American athletes who through small error or bad luck did not win a place on the team. Can you imagine being excellent and having a bad day at the US Olympic trials?

[Paul Heinzman]

Speaking of which, anything about the USA win over the French last night on the DU?

Nothing that I noticed. DUmmies aren't particularly good at categorizing stuff, so there are very few Olympics threads in the Sports forum; they are mostly scattered about in General Discussion and The DU Lounge.

[Paul Heinzman]

That show is still on? Ewww.

[Paul Heinzman]

Hey, frank, have you been following the rhubarb over at the DUmp between Maddy McCall and our favorite 30 year old spoiled brat xemasab? Had me in stitches when I saw it this morning.

[bcsco]

DUmmies aren't particularly good at categorizing stuff...

That's likely from a lifetime of pizza boxes and coke cans littered around the place. It you can't deal with that, how can you deal with forum organization?

[Roscoe Karns]

One more gold medal closer to taking the title of “Most Embarrassing American” with a win and a world record in 200m freestyle. Go Phelps!

[Purrcival]

Yep, I’m watching, too. Go, Michael! But can you believe THIS???

He went to Athens 4 years ago. http://video.aol.com/video-detail/spitz-praises-phelps-for-olympic-wins/528424561

[Mr. Silverback]

That is really stupid.

[Category Four]

Do these idiots forget that before the fall of the Soviet Union they used to collect a hefty medal count at every Summer Olympics, beating us many times? Heck, we got beat in medal count by East Germany a couple of times.

See, here's the thing -- this was either A) before many of these DUmmies' time, or B) happened before they were old enough to remember. In either case, that's how these particular DUmmies operate -- they don't remember it, ergo it as good as didn't happen.

I was spading this thread (that’s a publishing term, like “black hole” is a term used by ****astronomers****) when I read your contribution. It contained the same words of wisdom and insight I was about to post.
