Tuesday Open Thread
It’s Tuesday! Do you feel the excitement of election day even if you’re not voting? If you do, you might be a political junkie.
The Daily Show held an important election: NY vs. Philly for the “douchiest fans.”

TDS gave the award to Philly, but what do you think? I think it’s a pretty close vote. I demand a recount!
The award for douchiest former president goes to this guy:
Eight years ago, President Bush asserted with great bravado that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden would be taken “dead or alive.” “I don’t care, dead or alive — either way,” Bush said at the time. This weekend, while attending a conference of business leaders in New Delhi, India, Bush struck a different tone:
Asked whether al-Qaida chief Osama bin Laden could be alive, Bush said “I guess he is not dead.”
He, however, noted that Laden is hiding and “not leading victory parades” or “espousing his cause” on TV.
He expressed confidence that Laden will be brought to justice which “he deserves to be” and it was a matter of time.
Yeah, I guess Bush was still a sucky president.

Has anyone seen THIS? http://mediamatters.org/blog/200911030016
I’m horrified.
This is just sooo typical, Brooke. It’s all about real Americans, real Republicans, real christians, etc.
Brooke, I guess Darren Rovell wouldn’t consider me a real Delawarean.
Pandora, and real douches as well.
I’ m very excited, from Rasmussen:
45% for Obama, 49% Against – If Election Were Held Right Now
Americans are a little less enthusiastic about the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama this time around.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to vote for Obama if he was up for reelection right now. Forty-nine percent (49%) say they would be unlikely to vote for the president’s reelection.
Exactly, nemski.
This fool is trying to apologize for his un-American remarks.
I agree Darren Rovell is a real douche.
seems to me he DID apologize. and cass, calling someone un american is the most american thing one can do. why do you think the surpa american republicans do it all the time?
Friend of Charlie Crist busted in mini-Madoff scheme.
Now here is someone who needs the What Not to Wear people STAT.
Favorite quote:
Rothstein’s partners at the firm are in a state of shock. Co-founder Stuart Rosenfeldt told the Sun Sentinel: “The only reason that I am not crying is I took a Xanax.
I wonder if their opinions on “public option” have changed. Buying Xanax out of pocket gets pricy.
Cassandra, I refuse to believe that Charlie Crist, a most excellent dresser with a keen eye for color and detail, would ever be friends with such a fashion faux pas.
Can you believe that suit? Clearly the money he stole isn’t on his back.
ADDING: Bet the shoes are fit for a clown.
Oh, please. Them thar duds is from FLORIDA! He’s well-dressed by their standards.
I won’t bet you on the shoes, I’m sure they’re horrendous. And he has those sqiggley little white hairy toes that never see sun.
I knew Glenn Beck reminded me of someone.

I saw that last night, nemski, boy is that Beck/Hoffman interview creepy and awkward.
I must also add that Charlie Crist has most excellent hair.
What the deuce is going on with the ladies today? Is this like that time in college when all the girls on our floor “got their cycles in sync”? It’s either that or election days do weird things to you. Kinda glad I wasn’t around here last year. 🙂
I don’t know what you’re talking about Scott.
So is it me, or does that Hoffman guy have that WestbyGodVirginia inbred look?
Oh my, Scott. Did you really just go there? Good thing you’re cute.
Yes, yes he did. He thinks we’re ON THE RAG!
That’s that incisive liberal analysis we’re all looking for.
I’m pretty sure we know where Scott lives, too.
Jeez, I was just kidding. I’m thoroughly enjoying this. Sorry if I offended. ‘Twas but a lighthearted joke.
I thought we were going to visit a. price? He has the Chardonnay chilling.
I’m pretty sure we know where Scott lives, too.
Yeah, I’m thinking if my wife sees this, in the garage. Maybe I can keep the lawnmower running for warmth.
It’ll be a PROGRESSIVE DINNER! (Get it?) it’ll be a course at each house. Besides, I doubt he has enough Chardonnay.
With Hoffman, all politics aside, there’s something unsettlingly creepy about him that I just can’t quite put my finger on.
Scott,
Watch that Glenn Beck/Hoffman clip. It’s the definition of creepy. Hoffman just doesn’t seem to be very smart to me. He gave long, awkward pauses on the odd questions that Glenn Beck asked.
If Glenn Beck had my nuts in a vise, I’d be cautious answering his questions, too.
Well, we know you don’t have to be particularly bright to be a Conservanut. All you have to do is memorize a few key points and phrases, decide which is the closest to relevant in your conversation, and repeat. You don’t have to do any thinking of your own — that’s what lobbying firms and talk show hosts are for.
