“Mr. President, We Thank You!”
By Kyle | August 21, 2008
“Can I just say one thing really quick? [looking directly into the camera and grabbing her partner around the shoulder] Mr. President, we thank you! Thank you for your inspiration, for all you do!”
–Kerri Walsh, after winning her second gold in beach volleyball, as her approving teammate, Misty May-Treanor, stood beaming beside her.
Suddenly Madison Avenue loses interest in marketing MMT and KW.

Is there any chance the Commander-In-Chief thought Georgia was another female beach volleyballer?

Highly possible, as he thinks Tennessee is a person who likes to play tennis, Arkansas is what Noah used to cut boards for his boat, Ohio is a greeting, Maine is the entree in a restaurant and Iowa is the check.

Keep going. I’d like to see a clever remark about each of the 57 states Obama has visited.

These ancient and very dumb puns do not qualify as clever remarks.

I am still personally befuddled by how someone with President Bush’s education is deemed stupid aside from occassional flubs while speaking on camera I don’t see where it’s coming from. Though I caution you that if your criteria for intelligence is a person’s ability to speak well on camera or off script than you might want to look away when Obama goes off the teleprompter it’s a trainwreck. The man is a great reader but perhaps one of the worst and least articulate speakers I’ve ever seen but I give him kudos on picking great (if not a little vague)speechwriters.
Um…do I now have to repent for speaking ill of the mesiah? I’m still a little foggy on our rules for speaking against him without being called racist, neo-cons, or what not.

I don’t care what party or belief system you like; those are damn distracting outfits.
Besides The One will smite us all for not uniformly greeting His Ascension with great joy and celebration.Not much of a fan of either candidate, though Mccain is clearly preferable. He knows the world is pretty effed up, and not a daily holding hands session of Kumbaya singalongs.And we’d get President Mccain telling the kids to get off his goddamn lawn every Easter. Listening to Obama’s daily dose of empty platitudinous dreck coupled with rank hackery, incompetence and his Dragon Lady wife would get ponderous fast.

Well, “Ohio” is kind of a greeting in Japanese.

I don’t know who “K.” is, but it ain’t me. Just FYI.

Anyone who would take his handle from LBJ probably didn’t belong at this blog in the first place. Good luck with the Great Society.
