I take bac what I said about the telegraph (commonly known as torygraph).

Have any of you been in an AP shop? It is an upmarket sex shop. I was taken there once, got some clothes and a vibrator and a butt plug and went to the hotel. The butt plug was for her, not me, I hasten to add.

We left the wips and paddles behind, I think. Nothing wrong with the palm of my hand.

And if First Lady Obama was spotted buying lingerie at Target, we'd have to read COG's blather about her "blatant and pathetic attempt to connect with lower and middle class voters in an election year."

$50 k of his own money on frilly undewear is piker stuff; Obama is wasting trillions of taxpayer money !

If one lie doesn't work, tell another.

Yes, Obama is spending those trillions we borrow from China responsibly. Like Solyndra, and supporting democracy in Iraq and Egypt.

To me I don’t care if a politician is wealthy (rich) provided he got that way the honest way. What I do care about is rich and powerful people using their wealth to stack the deck in the political arena by creating policies/laws that favor the rich and powerful. What I do care about is the wealthy using their money to influence those in political office for dishonest purposes and to create laws that allow them to get away with such things. So I don’t care if Newt, Obama, Mitt are wealthy or how they spend their money in a store.

Were trillions spent on Solyndra? I missed that. Don't think the aid to Egypt is in the trillions either but math has never been my strong suit. And how much money did we give Egypt before Mubarak was overthrown v. post-Mubarak by the way...since you're such a big Mubarak supporter?

And how do you know whether the money being spent in Egypt right now is not being spent responsibly? Isn't that going to be entirely determined by what happens in the future in that country? If we end up with a stable regime that can be relied upon as a strategic partner in the region, then that will have been money well-spent, true? Impress us all with your crystal-ball gazing since you seem to know the future.

As for Iraq, that ship sailed a long long time ago. Maybe we should blame he who cannot be blamed for anything any longer? GWB? Because you and the rest of the 'bots want to forget what a fucking idiotic disaster he was that you wrought upon the country. Might make people remember that the current crop of morons you propose to lead the US are also clownish buffoons.

CuteOldGuy · 01-31-2012, 01:32 PM

Whatever, Timmy. You've had much too much kool-aid to think for yourself. The truth is, every dollar we have to borrow to spend is spent irresponsibly. Foreign aid, and payoffs to contributors in the green energy and banking industries are just one place to start economizing.

But you're saying it's ok to throw money down the drain if it isn't that much. Like I said, Timmy, whatever.

catnipdipper · 01-31-2012, 01:42 PM

Now you know Tea is the new Kool Aid.

COG it is like driving a car. You put it in R for backwards and D for forward.

Republicans.........a bridge to the 11th century.

Ignorance is pure bliss as long as you are unaware of the vacancy.

CuteOldGuy · 01-31-2012, 01:46 PM

Then you must be very happy, Catnip!

1. He's attempting to become the President after this:

Quote:

If leaving his wife for his mistress, twice, wasn't bad enough, Gingrich did all this while criticising President Clinton for a scandal of his own. Gingrich spearheaded the attempt to impeach Clinton, while keeping his own affairs secret. Gingrich had previously called for the expulsion of the Congressmen involved in the congressional page scandal in 1983, brought ethics charges against then-Democratic Speaker Jim Wright, which ultimately led to Wright's resignation, and criticised Democratic ethical lapses in 1990. All the while, Gingrich was also found guilty of check kiting in the House Bank Scandal, and during his term as Speaker, eighty-four ethics charges were filed against him, all but one of which were eventually dropped. Gingrich was so unpopular with his own party, including then-Republican conference chairman John Boehner, that was asked to step down. He resigned his position and his seat in 1998.

The 500k Tiffany's bill doesn't help matters in my eyes. Not to mention that seeing as he is trying to become president, he SHOULD be under an equal microscope to the current president - they ALL should.

2. Can you show me in the article where it says the Obama's spent tax dollars on lingerie? I'd imagine they had money of their own before coming in the white house and they do receive a wage now.

On a side note, I love AP! It's my favourite place to get gift cards from but I can't see spending 50k there, their stuff isn't *that* nice. Now La Perla maybe

Whirlaway · 01-31-2012, 02:29 PM

Clinton was impeached for lying to a grand jury; got his team of sycophants to slice and dice Lewinsky and all the other Clinton Bimbos telling the truth, and then wagged his finger to us Americans saying; " I didn't have sexual relations with Miss Lewisky".........

All this while a sitting President. No comparison to Newt.

Do you even bother to read the stories in the links you cut and paste? Where does it say she spent 50 large? Other than the title?

What a douche bag.
