Just for fun I ran “Candidate Obama didn’t feed us happy-talk, which is why we elected him” on Clusty and got the top 199 of 57,228 retrieved for the search.

S/he even spammed The Bangkok Post.

Why is it she looks like a relative of Shillary Kringtone
to me?? :)

“Jean à de longue moustache. Je répète: Jean à de longue moustache.”

Les sanglots longs
Des violons
De l’automne
Blessent mon coeur
D’une langueur
Monotone.

"Letters-to-the-Editor" LITE

[MHGinTN]

‘El lie White’ = ‘the lie white’, or ‘the white lie’.

Honestly, when you read it, “governing is hard, no magic wand” Obongo probably wrote it himself. In fact he said something very similar to Georgie boy on ABC couple of days ago.

LOL, that's exactly what I though.....obama could have written this. He referred to finding a solution in the ME "peace" process as being "hard". He and his folks have been spouting the talking point that obama has been reading 10 letters from Americans every night. Maybe he's actually been "writing" 10 letters every night. :-)

Great information. I sent it to my local newspaper and asked that they continue to verify all submitted Letters to the Editor.

Yeah...look at the trouble pseudonyms have caused Aericans. Without "Publius," we might not have gotten stuck with that Constitution!

[Gondring]

Yeah, getting the governement out of a religious sacrament...how "NUTTY" is that?!

P’raps

I tweeted NewsBusters (Noel’s on it), Hotair, Michelle Malkin, The Daily Caller, Beck & Stu, and will email Hannity.

Bet you h8 “In God We Trust” on your money, too, huh?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Wow, what a machine we're up against.

Here is a thought I had about how the same letter got into so many papers. One firm, MediaNews group owns 43 daily and weekly papers and what’s to keep headquarters from ordering their rags print the letter without verification. I asked the city editor of the Times-Standard what he knew about Ellie Light and I haven’t hear back yet...

[MortMan]

I still say her middle name is Diane, which makes her Ellie D. Lite.

[Gondring]

That was my thought yesterday, and was disappointed to see Jeanne today. :-(

[SouthTexas]

You may have found the answer.

[philman_36]

Somebody else knows their WWII history.

I prefer .999 Fine.

Do u h8 that “In God We Trust” is a secular slogan?

[Gondring]

I thought all letters to the editor of bigger papers were verified

Yes...note that these were sent to smaller, more consevative papers in a town (or they were the ones who ran the)...e.g., The Philadelphia Daily News, not The Philadelphia Inquirer...The Washington Times, not The Washington Post.

Kudos to Sabrina Eaton, and Razzies to all the stupid, lazyass editors who accept these Astroturf missives without checking name, address, and phone # before publishing.
