That's a great send-up of Obama-Osama Hussien Barrack! Where's it from?
Don't count me as a newt lover. I like the old newt's contract, but call me old fashioned about an old fart leaving his wife for his hot young secretary. Not my idea of trustworthy.

Your suggestion makes much more sense, much, much more.
:)
I'll agree the Burton's perfomance was disgraceful, but not because he's a "meek ignoramus." He's a highly skilled public speaker, tremendously persuasive. Burton *chose* to turn in a bad performance.
Just look at George Bush on TV, a tongue tied stumblebum with an IQ of 80. Dig through YouTube for George's speeches when he was TX guv. The speeches are dynamic, electrifying, and compelling, like his brother Jebby. Remember the 9/11 memorials, I watched the one in Somerset PA. George was warm, charismatic, and worked the spectator line like no one else.
Why the difference? I now believe George is throwing the debate, and threw the election. Bad for you if you have a kid in the service. I'm glad I don't (not yet anyway).
Wow...you are hitting every Libtard talking point today aren't you?
As I said earlier
<--- DU is that way.
It may be a good time to step away from the bong & the keyboard.
#130, that is an excellent point. When I was a Democrat 20 years ago, I mostly voted Republican because I looked at what they stood for, and their values and ideas. I listened to the Media and even at that time, and even 10 years before that I thought they were full of crap. I never liked Cronkite, I did not trust him and thought he was a pompous Ass. Probably because I worked at the Pentagon in 1967 and 1968. Thanks to Jerks like him, we used to get Bomb Threats every day because of his encouragement of the radicals against the War. I believe that Rush Limbaugh has enlightened untold numbers of people into understanding the brainwashing and snow job that the DBM gives people on a daily basis. I knew I did not like the further and further to the left leaning of the Democrats, but I really did not know all the really bad things they were doing until I listened to him. When I talk to people today and tell them they are being brainwashed, and then give them examples, they are first in denial, then they are mortified, then they are really angry that they let themselves be suckered by those DBM lefties. I explain and give them the Frog in the Water on the stove example of how they do this in such a sinister, but effective way. Thankfully we have the New Media and we still have old Rushbo.
I wonder what his DU name is?
He's on his third wife and frankly, I don't see him as a man of character.
Wow, for a minute there I thought I was at DU. Perhaps you would feel more at home there?
So bringing people freedom from a brutal dictator is not a good thing? Since when does America stand around and let people be enslaved??
We are losing 3-4 soldiers a day to bring the cool breeze of democracy. In Vietnam we lost around 60 per day and never did get to the point we are at now. Nice try, coward.

Hmmm...I smell sulfur in the air...like lightning is on the way.
Just sayin...
"Brooks on Obama: you can see people in the crowd leaning toward him, thirsting.."
Hmmmmmm...expecting him to to turn water into wine, perhaps??
That will work as long as GW Bbush, or somebody like him, is President. The real question is, what happens 1/21/2009, regardless of which party the next President comes from?
We need to consider the very real possibility that if the US is to actually win the War On Terror, it has to be completed in the next 18-20 months.
LOL. It really is that bad.
Actually, I've always heard the first meaning of the word base as a physical blow, a hard hit, and only in the late 60s do I recall it being commonly used to describe something like a party. The Princeton Wordnet web site defines "bash" as follow:
Noun
- S: (n) knock, bash, bang, smash, belt (a vigorous blow) "the sudden knock floored him"; "he took a bash right in his face"; "he got a bang on the head"
- S: (n) bash, do, brawl (an uproarious party)
Verb
I guess it's all how we first heard and learned words used. I have the problem that many words I learned and used growing up were things my mom picked up while growing up on reservations across the country. I'd use a word with my school friends like "beguech" (phonetic spelling, I have no idea how it's really spelled) which is, I think, a Navajo word for thank you. They'd give me a strange look. I'd go home that afternoon and ask my mom "is that another one of those words?" I'm glad for that experience now, though, because it makes me stop and sit back when I don't understand how someone is using a word I think I know.
What i said was just a little joke
Newt mentioned his divorces to timmy. He also said, flat-out, that impeachment was about lieing under oath, not personal behavior.
