And Lady Humpsalot-ForBling would of course know all about about achieving things while remaining vertical with your legs closed. (Yeah, I went there. Sue me.)

Anyone who marries into the Rothschild family should, similarly, avoid calling anyone else an “elitist.”

The vanity of this bint, if harnessed to a generator, could light Chicago for six months.  After all we know now about Palin (some of which we knew then), for Lah-Dee Dah de Rothschild to believe that her opinion means anything is, trooly, choots-pah on stilts.

Lady Lynn Deforested Rottenchild: 72% less relevant than Ralph Nader.

But I’m sure Huntsman will appreciate the Just Plain Folks credence this titled twatwaffle’s support will lend to his campaign.

Oh noes , the all important Duchess of Douchewater has thrown her endorsement behind the Republicans , how can the President’s Campaign possibly recover?

When you’ve lost the foxhunters…

Shit, might as well just throw in the towel, Barack.

I recently had a huge argument with a guy like this—fantastically wealthy businessman, member of the british parliament, owns tons of things, has his own box at la Scala because he *owns the entire Verdi library*—that kind of guy. He was just back from a fantastic meeting with Alan Simpson! What a fun guy! Really has his head screwed on straight. And Alan Simpson says… Also, he met with a really wonderful political figure here in the US last year, also a great guy, fantastic ideas! Haley Barbour! Yeah! That’s the kind of guy we should have for president!

here’s the thing about this conversation, at which I actually wound up screaming

“Fuck you, you incredible asshole, how dare you come in here and tell me that Haley Barbour is a great potential president? Its like I told you that I meant a great future leader of British society and it was Oswald Mosely’s grandson! You know fuck all about American Politics.”

and walking out of the dinner he’d cooked for us—these people are the most arrogant, the most gullible, and the most ill in formed people you can imagine.

Strike that. You can’t imagine it. You can’t imagine it because you don’t move in circles where people flatter you, day and night, for your perspicasity, generosity, and good looks while picking your back pocket. The guy actually met with Haley BArbour and discussed Haley’s then hypothetical run for the Presidency without knowing anything about Missisippi or American racial history.  And worse, or funnier, is that it doesn’t occur to them that every single thing they are told by the people wining and dining them is self interested, and probably a lie.  Its like they lack the faintest social skill at detecting bullshit.

She may still end up supporting peasant Obama, as Huntsman is sounding ,ore like an Obot black ops ratfucker every day, rather than a GOP candidate. What with hugging the wingnut 3rd rail of global warming and other major spitballs launched against his party, like believing in science, of all things.

Einstein may have been right about God, and his dice roll theory. But I bet the old fucker tunes in Rush Limbaugh Hell every other day up there in heaven, when not ordering up some pestilence and other unnatural disasters, like a Michelle Bachmann campaign.

Jeevus died around Easter. Happy Birthday Jeevus!

And worse, or funnier, is that it doesn’t occur to them that every single thing they are told by the people wining and dining them is self interested, and probably a lie.  Its like they lack the faintest social skill at detecting bullshit.

How can he detect bullshit when his existance relies upon spewing his bullshit?

She wonders what the poor people are doing right now.

(And you classless fuckers don’t have the gratitude to be grateful to her thinking about you. Classless fuckers!)

Holy shit!  Turns out there really is a Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild.  That’s it.  Cancel my subscription to reality immediately.

She isn’t supporting Bachman?  Miss Lynn is clearly a misogynist.

Also, he met with a really wonderful political figure here in the US last year, also a great guy, fantastic ideas! Haley Barbour! Yeah! That’s the kind of guy we should have for president!

I read that and thought, “What do you mean ‘We’ white man?

It’s been a while since I took a class on American history, but I’m certain we fought a war with the British so we didn’t have to give a fuck what their pompous gits think of our politics.

Although I suppose if you were hoping to reduce the U.S. to the point where we’d ask England to take us back, Haley would be your man.

p.s. aimai, my eternal admiration a number of things, but today it’s for telling that asshole where to stick his witless glubbering.

HTP, yes. It was a tiny bit awkward since he’d just cooked dinner for me and my parents (!)  I didn’t totally lose my cool until dessert but that’s just because I was trying, in a good faith way, to explain American politics to these fuckers and when I finally grasped that they were pretty far gone on the stupid/evil continuum I just leapt to my feet and blasted out of there shrieking insults. Very unbritish of me but then that’s what they get for associating with Jooz.  Same people who usually have the barbecue with Joe Klein so this year I didn’t end up going and having my usual dust up with him. He lucked out.

aimai

Aimai, I went back and read your piece about your fracas with Joe Klein. I particularly liked:

Its as thought they imagine that each story is a stand alone piece and that there’s a hard and fast line between opinion and “fact” when every day, and every way, we’ve seen any pretense to that distinction run right into the ground.

Good thing all that’s been cleared up!

Betty:

Rothschild in the Salon arty was disturbingly all over the place. She’d make a credible liberal comment and then follow it up with a hot-off-the-press neocon talking point. Not once, but several times. Made my head spin.

I think she is intelligent, but when you string the sentences together she gives the impression of a badly programmed robot.

Ah, aimai, must be right about the flatterers. And now I finally see why Dante loathed them. Interesting.

@aimai - Holding all that in and then doubling down at the finale sounds quite British to me! ;)

Now that we a history of Obama as President, we know that he is a continuation of the Bush presidency.  His change was only musical chairs.

Change is nothing if all you get is same shit different day.  Obama has been outed by his own actions and, according to the polls, he is dropping at historic rates.  Huntsman would be the least offensive alternative to Obama. 

How does a President go from 87% popular support to 38%?  It takes a lot of manipulation, negotiation and capitulation.  To quote my neighbor, “A fighter he ain’t, Makes Jimmy Carter look like Rocky.”

Ronbo, are you Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild in disguise? Come on, fess up you little scamp.

Now that we a history of Obama as President, we know that he is a continuation of the Bush presidency. 

Oh fuck off.

Is Dick Cheney—de facto US president for eight years—still in office? Not on planet Earth.

Jeez.

How does a President go from 87% popular support to 38%?

Obama hasn’t.

Bush did that, from post-9/11 to pre-Katrina. Maybe that’s why you’re confused & think this is a continuation of the Bush reign; you’ve been in a coma for six years.
