I know there'd be outrage, but with the MSM playing 24/7 coverage of the wildfire fight in Cali and the crawl calling it a $1BILLION disaster, someone ought to point out that yes folks, this is what $1 BILLION looks like and GW is asking for another $46 BILLION for Iraq just this month.
Posted by mainsailset at October 25, 2007 08:57 AMThis is just amazing. You're right, Steve, it cries out for commercials. Even Nixon wouldn't have vetoed this SCHIP bill.
On another topic, am I the only one who has a total crush on Dana Perino? She is so cute. No doubt that's the reason she's up there. She softens the insanity coming out of her mouth.
Posted by Jeff Dinelli at October 25, 2007 09:35 AMYou're not the only one, Jeff, I've heard it from the mooks on Stephanie Miller show on AAR, and the Sadly No guys. Funny how you guys will tap anything cute, while women are a little more discerning....*smirk*
Posted by iamcoyote at October 25, 2007 09:51 AMI hope the Dems are prepared to continue to sent the SCHIP bill to Bush time and time again, because that is what they'll have to do. Their pipedreams of GOPers folding and joining them in an override vote are just that. They may get one or two, but Bush will be having each and every one over to the WH for a "Jesus told me to do this" dressdown. We'll see if the Dems have the guts to keep at it once the GOP Noise Machine revs up the "Dems are tax-raisers" racket.
Posted by T2 at October 25, 2007 10:02 AMThe money comparison spots might work. Money is one of the few elements that can reach the GOP brain's tiny reward center every time.
No, Jeff you are not the only one who thinks Dana is cute. While I have been spared the "total crush" factor, it would be kinky to have a naughty GOP dominatrix toungue-lash me with forbidden doctrine.
"Lower taxes for the rich!" ....Yes! More! More, Dana!
"No health care for children!"..Oh, More! More!
"We must bomb Iran!"...Stop! Stop! May I please have a cigarette, Mistress Dana?
coyote I'm sure you are excluding Laura. Some women do go for cokeheads.

T2, that's awesome, thanks for a whole new fantasy starring Dana. Her press conferences just got even more interesting. "Stay the course in Iraq!" "Fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here!" "The president does not believe in torture, but I do!" Yes, yes!
Finally, jturney, women like Laura give all us f*-ed up guys hope! If a failed cokehead falling off of barstools drunk flunking National Guard reviews guy can land a chick, any of us can!

Oops, sorry, that was Tiki. T2 was trying to maintain the sanity here.
Posted by Jeff Dinelli at October 25, 2007 10:20 AMWow, getting the hots for a GOP'er, better not let Duckman find out.
Posted by peter at October 25, 2007 10:35 AMSome women do go for cokeheads.
Yeah, well, female Xanex zombies don't count... And boinking for power isn't the same as attraction, is it?
Posted by iamcoyote at October 25, 2007 10:38 AMWhat needs to be pointed out very clearly is that Bush intentionally delayed his request for $46 billion more for Iraq/Afghanistan until AFTER he had gotten the SCHIP bill and vetoed healthcare for Americans. Appearances, ya know.

Posted by TIKI AL at October 25, 2007 11:03 AMthanks for the correction Jeff. I'd have a difficult time falling for a woman who I know is actively engaged in lying for a living.
