I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Oh oh.
-
NASHUA, N.H.--Bombastic Fox News host Bill O'Reilly got into a confrontation with an Obama aide after O'Reilly started screaming at him as he tried to get Barack Obama's attention following a rally here.
The incident was triggered when O'Reilly--with a Fox News crew shooting--was screaming at Obama National Trip Director Marvin Nicholson "Move" so he could get Obama's attention, according to several eyewitnesses. "O'Reilly was yelling at him, yelling at his face," a photographer shooting the scene said.

I pray for hilarious video. The guy O'Reilly shoved was 6'8"
Secret Service "flanked" Bill-O?
We only wish they tasered the asshole.
And what's with O-Lielly consistently calling people taller and stronger than himself "low class?"
God, I would love to see Billo tasered.
WTFF?!
.
At this point I'd love to see O'Reilly get a serious beat down. Asshole's venting way too much carbon dioxide for our own good.
Here's a lovely pic of bug-eyed Illeana Douglas for Steve Simels.
O'Reilly was one shove away from being taken down by the Secret Service: oh, for that one more shove.
Secret Service agents came after O'Reilly pushed Nicholson and the agents flanked O'Reily.
That's going to require an incident report with interviews and video tape I'll bet.
I am sure BillO is loving this. He loves to build up a some kind of personal slight before he starts going after someone- this is just the ticket to get him started on Obama. What a dickweed.
Cut his mike.
O'Reilly grabbed Nicholson's arm, said "move" and shoved him, another eyewitness said. Nicholson, who is 6'8 said O"Reilly called him "low class."
Afterwards Bill received a cell phone call from a Mr. Pot asking if he could introduction O'Reilly to a Mr. Kettle.
Tase him in Gitmo.
"oh, for that one more shove."
oh to dream!!!
from below:
.I believe Edwards has pretty explicitly dropped the "combat troops" hedge, hasn't he?

I'll take your word for it. I would assert that regardless of what they say now, all three contenders, if and when they take office, will embark us on a fairly tortuous road to complete withdrawal, which will likely not have reached its end before their first terms expire. I don't think anybody besides a general could really resist the nonstop lobbying from the joint chiefs to proceed a certain way.
Other than the war, Hillary has a solid liberal background
Other than the WAR? Say wha?

No kidding.
Keith will have a gas with this one on Monday. Mark my words.
I guess O'Lielly was trying to beg Obama to come on his stupid show. What, did BillO run out of flunky producers?
And what's with O-Lielly consistently calling people taller and stronger than himself "low class?"
For bonus points, he could have called him "pompous, low class".

It's not a question of individual issues or even her record up till now.
My fear -- and I think it is eminently reasonable -- is that if there's a solid Democratic congressional sweep along with her presidential win she will immediately go into full triangulation mode and work against anything meangingfully liberal the congress tries to enact, to the thundering applause of the MSM for curbing "the excesses of the left wing."

He's nuts. He really is insane. I alluded earlier to the Dodd interview where he was screaming and bug-eyed about I forget what now-forgotten outrage. Dodd remained calm and very polite and just softly chuckled when Bill-O starterd screaming.

I disagree in as much as I think HRC (or Obama) would be drawn into compromise and incrementalism, then get painted as "failed presidents" by the Tweeties and the Kleins, not so much in an active effort to block progressive initiatives, but the effect would be the same.
One caveat: HRC hates the media, and with good reason. She may try to play them in the wrong way, but I don't think she gives a fuck about what Broder really thinks about her, even if she may (unfortunately) care what he says about her.

When I listen to people talk about Obama, I hear nothing but vague ideals mentioned such as "change, new ideas, something different than the mainstream, fresh voices," yada yada yada. But one thing I don't hear a lot about are his views on policy. What is his stand on Israel? How is he going to fund Universal Health care for everyone without cutting back on the quality of care and/or sacrificing research & development? If he cuts out taxes for 7 million seniors, how does this square with his belief that "everyone should pay their fair share," or does this only apply to corporations? How do you negotiate with terrorists? I have a lot more questions that I hope will be answered prior to the election, because we need more in a President than a breath of fresh air.

That's not right. All three are inexcusably evasive, but Obama (16months) and Edwards (12 months) have committed to time lines for getting all combat troops out of Iraq. Hillary has not. She has also praised the Sunni-Sheik efforts in Anbar as a tactic the US should have done earlier and one that is on the right track.
And Hillary voted for the AUMF and insists she was right.

Simels is right about Hillary. And Obama wouldn't be much different. You can tell who would be a real change by how much the media ignores him.
Edwards got the 2nd most votes of ANY candidate on either side in Iowa and he barely gets a mention unless it is to say he's finished. It's fucking obvious what is up, and we have to fight it.
Consider it the final battle for the supremacy of the DFH over the MSH.
Fight for Edwards and he'll fight for us.
And as for the money bullshit...the Democratic nominee is going to have much more money than the GOPer is, no matter what the pairing. And Edwards did better than expected while being outspent in Iowa 5 or 6 to 1.
Don't count him out, it's what "THEY" want!

i can understand why bill was forced into some triangulating that i have a hard time excusing. but hillary should be an out and proud liberal. the press had the hate-on for bill, but they despise hillary and haven't given her a break, ever. so why does she still try to please them? or does she really believe that moderates will love her if she just stays mushy mouthed? moderate women, perhaps, but the rest of that well is poisoned.
it's just never made sense to me, and in these times, if she had chosen to be a polarizing firebreather instead of a polarizing ho-hum...i'm sorry but i think she'd be a lot more popular today.

One final note on trial lawyers as progressive actors. Professional malpractice is dependent upon an objective standard of care. That standard of care was at one time viewed as limited to the local area. So that big city hospitals might deliver a higher standard of care than rural doctors. Trial lawyers have worked long and hard to apply a universal standard of care. So that people, no matter their circumstances, are assured of receiving the same standard of care everywhere. That is the epitome of the progressive movement.

But I suggest to those with short memorys, look at this. Hillary wasn't "fooled", she was leading the charge.
AP: "President Bush said Friday that while there is some uncertainty about slowing economic growth, the nation's 'financial markets are strong and solid.'"
Given that Bush lies about everything, I suspect this means that, as far as the economy is concerned, there must be some new data that confirms the shit is about to hit the fan.

With their large eyes and weak chins, I think that Illeana Douglas and Sharon Lawrence both look like anime characters.
I will say this: Assuming that the next Congress will be AT LEAST as Democratic as the current one, Hillary will not be anywhere near as obstructionist as W on domestic things such as S-CHIP, reforming Medicare D (to at least allow cost negitiations), and funding additional local police.
While Iraq will remain a clusterfuck for at least a generation, the domestic issues are becoming more critical as we tick towards November.

Women and gay men are 'worst drivers'
By Sarah Radford and agencies
Last Updated: 2:25am GMT 04/01/2008
Women and gay men are likely to be the worst drivers, a new study has shown. Research has revealed that both perform poorly in tasks involving navigation and spatial awareness when compared to heterosexual men.
Psychologists at Queen Mary, University of London, who conducted the study, believe the findings mean driving in a strange environment would be more difficult for gay men and women than for straight male motorists. Both tend to rely on local landmarks to get around, and are also slower to take in spatial information.
The computer-based tests were carried out on 140 volunteers, and demonstrated that gay men, straight women and lesbians navigated in a similar way, sharing the same weaknesses.

Obama borrows from Edwards
NASHUA, N.H. -- After beating John Edwards in Iowa on Thursday, Barack Obama has decided to join him -- repeatedly poaching his opponent's themes, language, and even jokes.
"We shouldn't just be respecting wealth in this country -- we should be respecting work," Obama told an overflow crowd in a high-school gym today.
Edwards's 2004 presidential campaign was centered around the idea that the Bush administration had launched a "war on work" through tax cuts that offer incentives for investment over labor. "Hard work should be valued in this country, so we're going to reward work, not just wealth," Edwards said in accepting his party’s vice-presidential nomination at the Democratic’ convention in Boston. In this campaign, he has sharpened his populist rhetoric, railing against greedy corporate CEOs who are waging war on working people and the middle class.
I happened to hear the speech, myself, this moring - and Obama is definitely picking up on Edwards talking points! I knew that he'd move to the left, and I'm happy to see him do it, too.
Did O'Reilly have a vibrator shoved up his ass at the time of the incident?
Loofah!
The other WA: "Flanked him? Flanked? That's it? That's lame. I expect more from my tax dollars, damn it. Tase him, put him in a choke hold, restrain his ass, something."
Sorry, I can't get behind torture of anyone, even O'Reilly, and tasering *is* torture.
That said, I'd really like to see the falafel bastard go through the whole process, charged, perp-walked, and fined at the end. Maybe a little community service and a public apology too.
With a little luck, maybe the public apology would cause his head to explode, ala Cronenberg's 'Scanners'.
Women and gay men are likely to be the worst drivers, a new study has shown. Research has revealed that both perform poorly in tasks involving navigation and spatial awareness when compared to heterosexual men.
Heterosexual men, on the other hand, are genetically unable to open a map or ask for directions.

can i bring you all together and say the problem is the concept that "insurance" and medicine go together?
take the insurance companies out of the equation, toss in some better and more effective regulation, and fund places so that health care providers aren't overworked and underpaid, and poof! lots of bad things stop happening.
we can do all of this for less than half the DoD budget, and have already spent several years worth of universal health care on the sands of iraq.

I think that said more about Murdoch than Clinton.
Not to beat a dead horse (even on a dead thread), but the Clintons' work for Lieberman is the crystalization of all my doubts and fears about HRC as a president. The fact that he is now campaigning for Endless War McCain is a consequence so perfect and so illustrative that you wouldn't believe it if it were in a book.
CD, you can steal it -- and you don't even have to footnote me. (I'm one of those geeky girls who darn near memorized the book in junior high.)
If Obama is victorious in Nov. he will either joyfully surprise us by being more progressive than we'd ever hoped or depress us by being more conservative than we'd ever feared.

Isn't part of the problem that Doctors police their own? How many years does it take to get a ham fisted alcoholic surgeon's licence revoked? Also I believe a system of arbitration would serve us all better. It seems a crime to me that an injured party needs to hand over 1/3 of a settlement to a lawer.
I SO wanna see someone give Bill O a mouth full of bloody Chiclets.
For anyone who still thinks that Obama would be effective if he is elected, just go to his website. It's filled with platitudes and ridiculously lame things like raising CAFE standards something like 4% and an overall energy plan that is doomed to fail simply because no power is ever taken away from oil companies. That's what his whole platform is like. There's no 'there' there.
NobleJoanie: 'Hillary carpetbagged her way into the Senate.'
Perhaps you should leave that charge up to the New Yorkers who elected her. As one of those New Yorkers, I've been pretty happy with Clinton's overall Senate performance.
(Yeah, there have been a few votes that really pissed me off, like her support of the AUMF, but she's mostly been a pretty good Senator. And, no, I'm not a Clinton shill - right now I'm leaning towards Edwards, but giving Obama a second look.)
Bill also got busted earlier asking someone else to ask Hillary a question at her townhall thing. admittedly, not the passion of the Obama scuffle, but it's just fun to watch Bill O' Having A Very Bad Morning.

It's filled with platitudes and ridiculously lame things like raising CAFE standards something like 4% and an overall energy plan that is doomed to fail simply because no power is ever taken away from oil companies. That's what his whole platform is like. There's no 'there' there.

Obama has an actual legislative record in Illinois that is perfectly respectable and pretty impressive. His foreign policy advisors include Samantha Powers who is actually smart and principled while Hillary's contains Michael O'Hanlon.

If Obama is victorious in Nov. he will either joyfully surprise us by being more progressive than we'd ever hoped or depress us by being more conservative than we'd ever feared.

One of these days someone is going to knock O'Really on his ass..that, or shove his teeth down his throat. What an ass.
As a former advance person, you never mess with anyone in the candidate's entourage because the
Secret Service are all mixed into the crowd and their job is to PROTECT the candidate..especially from clowns like O'Really. His tough guy, tough talking schtick won't get him very far.
I'm just sorry that those guys didn't haul off and deck him. Believe me, that day is coming.
where having to pay riculous amounts of malpractice insurance has driven up the cost of doing medicine to obscene levels, and the stress of idiotic litigation has driven some of the best people out of practicing medicine.
yada yada yada. That neither is a real result of the legal profession always seems to get left out.
I'm mad as hell and so is James Whitmore:
