|
10:51

L – I’M GOING TO BE PRESIDENT |
|
10:52
|
L – Obama just gave a slightly different version of Einstein’s definition of insanity |
|
10:53
|
L – again with the “life-long Republican voting for Obama” line. I actually like it. |
|
10:54
|
M – well yes, it’s good but needs other kinds of such people |
|
10:54
|
M – I.e., something other than my life is ruined and I am angry and George Bush |
|
10:54

L – The world still loves America, etc. |

|
M – ya |
|
10:56
|
L – They are starting, they don’t want us to hear the truth. |
|
10:57
|
L –
So what will people say about this speech? It doesn’t matter because we all know how |
|
10:57
|
M – didn’t say China |
|
10:57
|
L – that was disappointing |
|
10:57
|
L – but other than that, it was good…not great, just good |
|
10:58
|
L – I was looking for the memorable phrase. |
|
10:59
|
M – well let’s wait |
|
10:59
|
L – Awesome Biden greets our future President. |
|
10:59
|
M – Chris Matthews will tell us what the memorable phrase will be |
|
10:59
|
L – ah yes |
|
11:00
|
L – actually, now that I have had three minutes to reflect on the speech, I think it was great. |
|
11:00
|
M – OMG OBAMA’S KIDS OMG OMG OMG~~~~~~ |
|
11:00
|
M – Is Osama left-handed? |
|
11:00
|
M – wtf Obama* |

|
L – Certainly I have to add to the equation the fact that it was in a stadium in front of 75,000+ |
|
11:00
|
M – yes |
|
11:00
|
L – M, YOU RACIST |

L – HAHAHA, go Matthews |
|
11:02

M – TO HELL WITH CHRIS MATTHEWS’ CRITICS |

|
L – You know how bad it would all look if he lost… |
|
11:03

L – ENOUGH |

|
M – YES! |
|
11:05
|
M – wtf? |
|
11:05
|
M – where is Keith Olbermann getting this shit |
|
11:05
|
L – apparently Obama’s speech. |
|
11:06
|
M – I guess to him “insure all Americans” counts as uh “specific” |
|
11:06
|
M – ”end the war responsibly” is “specific” |
|
11:06
|
L – I hope Obama gives Kucinich a cabinet position. |
|
11:06
|
M – saying something about Georgia is “specific” |
|
11:06
|
M – lol temperment |
|
11:07
|
L – should have mentioned China |
|
11:07
|
L – yes |
|
11:08
|
M – JOHN MCCAIN DOESN’T GET IT |
|
11:08
|
L – John McCain is old? |
|
11:10
|
M – YES WE CAN |
|
11:10
|
M – YES WE CAN |
|
11:10
|
M – YES WE CAN |
|
11:10
|
M – YES WE CAN |
|
11:10
|
L – Obama ’08. He will help in foreign policy, and his domestic policies are not as “socialist” as people might think. Also, Obama. |
|
11:11
|
M – OBAMA |
|
11:11
|
M – exactly |
|
11:11
|
M – YES WE CAN |
|
11:11

11:11
|
L – Paris Hilton lookalike on MSNBC. |
|
11:12
|
L – just passed. |
|
11:12
|
L – ”Born in the Panama Canal Zone” |
|
11:13
|
M – well that’s only USA if John McCain is willing to annex the Canal Zone if necessary |
|
11:13
|
L – Is that part of the territories Hillary mentioned a few days ago? |
|
11:14
|
L – ok, “hell…cave” line was memorable. |
|
11:15
|
M – yes |
|
11:16
|
L – Next week: McCain |
|
11:16
|
M – lol |
|
11:16
|
L – and hopefully RON PAUL. |
|
11:16
|
M – RON PAUL |
|
11:16
|
M – YES |
|
11:16
|
M – ME WANT RON PAUL |
|
11:16
|
M – oh so earlier on some MSNBC coverage |
|
11:16
|
L – Someone needs to put his name up for a vote; his supporters claim to have hundreds of “secret delegates.” |
|
11:17
|
M – Brokaw said that the Montana GOP is in disarray |
|
11:17
|
L – why? RON PAUL? |
|
11:17
|
M – said that he won’t say it’s in shambles |
|
11:17
|
L – or because Obama might actually win in Montana? |
|
11:17
|
M – didn’t mention specifically on the same sentence but then mentioned Paul soon later |
|
11:17
|
M – yes the idea is that |
|
11:17
|
M – Montana and North Dakota are both in play |
|
11:17
|
L – I read that two delegations from Nevada will try to attend the convention, one for McCain, one for Ron Paul |
|
11:18
|
M – right, you linked me to something ya |
|
11:18
|
L – I wonder which one will be allowed into the convention center. |
|
11:18
|
L – lol not really. |
|
11:19
|
M – http://www.pollster.com/ |
|
11:19
|
M – Alaska is also swing |
|
11:20
|
L – Charles Krauthammer ON FOX |
|
11:20
|
L – ”smart speech” |
|
11:20
|
L – ”came off from the mountaintop” |
|
11:21
|
M – remember my surprise |
|
11:21
|
L – which one? |
|
11:21
|
M – OMG BLACK MAN CAN DO TEH MATHS!!!! |
|
11:21
|
L – ah yes |
|
11:21
|
M – but watching Obama and the Democrats are kind of like that moment in Life of Brian |
|
11:22
|
M – oh wait I’m listening to it again and he mentioned China once |
|
11:23
|
M – man in Indiana whose job was shipped off to China |
|
11:23
|
L – Obama’s Newpolitik |
|
11:23
|
M – LOL |
|
11:23
|
L – but he didn’t mention China in the “billions we borrow from China” |
|
11:24
|
L – Kitsch-Posh coins the phrase “Obama’s Newpolitik.” |
|
11:24
|
M – sweet |
|
11:25
|
L – Fox News giving a crying play-by-play |
|
11:25
|
L – Karl Rove coming up! |
|
11:25
|
M – lol GOP is owned |
|
11:25
|
M – !! |
|
11:26
|
L – MCCAIN AD |
|
11:27
|
L – what a lame ad…”today was your day Obama, but I’ll get you next time.” |
|
11:27
|
L – at least it showed class |
|
11:27
|
M – lol gotta burn cash |
|
11:27
|
M – because can’t use any of it after he accepts the nomination |
|
11:27
|
M – that’s why so many ads; but once this general election starts |
|
11:28
|
M – Obama will have so much more monies |
|
11:28
|
L – He should buy enough space for 30-minute infomercials. |
|
11:28
|
L – like Perot. |
|
11:29
|
L – One thing I dislike is that that mainstream media often ignores Obama’s half-black, half-white heritage. Maybe it’s too complex for sound bites. |
|
11:30
|
M – so it balances out |
|
11:30
|
M – Well from Obama himself we hear a lot more about his mother’s side |
|
11:32
|
L – But I don’t think we hear enough about the tribulations and frictions he had growing up as a “black” person in a “white” family…we only read about it in his books. I think that’s a story that hasn’t been told too well, except for a few Newsweek and TIME articles. |
|
11:32
|
M – Poetry |
|
11:32
|
M – besides, Kansas + Kenya. |
|
11:33
|
M – which, frankly, nobody reads |
|
11:33
|
L – That’s why I like Dreams From My Father, it’s as clear cut as it can be on the issue. |
|
11:34
|
L – Karl Rove: There is no common ground where Obama claims there is. |
|
11:35
|
M – oh Karl Rove |
|
11:36
|
L – Where is the Republican VP leak? |
|
11:37
|
L – ”Comcast to make monthly Internet use cap official” |
|
11:37
|
M – well he doesn’t know, does he? |
|
11:37
|
L – ”Comcast to make monthly Internet use cap official” |
|
11:37
|
M – wtf |
|
11:37
|
L – ”Comcast to make monthly Internet use cap official” |
|
11:37
|
L – http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080828/comcast_internet_cap.html?.v=2 |
|
11:37
|
L – I thought he did, Drudge half-promised to leak it tonight. |
|
11:38
|
M – but John McCain hates Karl Rove |
|
11:38
|
M – why would he be included in the loop |
|
11:38
|
L – Rove? |
|
11:38
|
M – ya |
|
11:39
|
L – not him, Drudge |
|
11:39
|
M – ah |
|
11:39
|
M – I thought you were expecing Karl Rove on Fox to leak the VP |
|
11:39
|
M – LEAK THE VEEP |
|
11:39
|
L – nope |
|
11:40
|
M – well after we learned about Obama’s pick by tracking the secret service’s movements |
|
11:40
|
M – do you think that they may become a little more secret tonight? |
|
11:41
|
L – They said they were in deference to Obama. |
|
11:41
|
M – more like they haven’t got a chance |
|
11:41
|
L – but of course that doesn’t neccesarily prevent “leaks.” |
|
11:41
|
M – mm |
|
11:41
|
L – FRANK LUNTZ on FOX |
|
11:42
|
L – Summary: Frank Luntz = Newspeak |
|
11:43
|
L – McCain should just screw everyone and choose Ron Paul. |
|
11:43
|
M – haha someone to “challenge” him |
|
11:43
|
M – like Biden is supposed to do to Obama? |
|
11:43
|
L – or Lieberman, equally as funny. |
|
11:43
|
M – but, unfortunately, much more likely |
|
11:44
|
M – so much more likely that it is within the realm of dreamable possibility |
|
11:44
|
L – An ant is more likely than Ron Paul |
|
11:44
|
L – I wonder whether all this buzz about the “Paulites” crashing the convention will prove to be true. |
|
11:45
|
M – lol no way |
|
11:45
|
M – if they can stop assassins from entering the arena |
|
11:45
|
M – they can stop Paultards |
|
11:45
|
L – …but TEH SECRET DELEGATES |
|
11:45
|
M – pshht |
|
11:45
|
L – BILLIONARE WHO SUPPORTS RON PAUL |
|
11:45
|
M – so what do the sort of thing |
|
11:45
|
M – where they scream NO at an acclaim vote? |
|
11:46
|
M – I watched the Democratic Roll Call |
|
11:46
|
L – Pelosi didn’t allow time for the “no” |
|
11:46
|
M – no she didn’t |
|
11:46
|
M – same thing will happen at RNC |
|
11:47
|
L – no stfu Ron Paul |
|
11:47
|
L – yes |
|
11:47
|
M – I think the main deal is that we’re just waiting to see how much coverage the MSM gives to Rally for the Republic |
|
11:47
|
M – Now I gotta go get on my Ronvoy kthxbai |
|
11:48
|
L – it depends on how many people go to the “Rally for the Republic” and how rowdy they get. |
|
11:49
|
L – otherwise, it’s C-SPAN 3 material only. |
|
11:49
|
M – lol |
|
11:49
|
M – http://www.gallup.com/home.aspx |
|
11:49
|
M – 48-42 |
|
11:50
|
M – http://www.gallup.com/poll/109909/Hillary-Clintons-Speech-WellReceived.aspx “Fifty-two percent of Americans give Hillary Clinton’s Tuesday night speech at the Democratic National Convention a positive review, including 83% of those who say they watched it.” |
|
11:50
|
M – I.e., Republican voters are stupid |
|
11:51
|
L – and the McCain campaign already has a rebuttal that 99% of people won’t read. Enjoy! http://johnmccain.com/Informing/News/PressReleases/Read.aspx?guid=caac48a5-790f-4b44-8e6a-bf08eb5fadee |
|
11:52
|
L – ”No authorized leaking tonight” |
