Yes, he did call Going Rogue “a steaming pile of sh*t.” Sounds fitting.

Pretty much sums it up.
of course Obama never actually apologized for America.
Ah Stephen you are the master!
I almost cried at the beauty of that.
I love Stephen.
That’s pretty pathetic. And you guys applaud such crudity?
So, when little Frances, Craig or Janine, comes running in and says, “Hey Mommy/Daddy. We just read a new book in school. And it’s a steaming pile of ****.” you’re going to be beaming with pride.
And we wonder what’s wrong with our country.
“Liberalism is a mental disorder.”
I don’t think little Frances, Craig or Janine will be reading Palin’s book in school nor would the three little ones be up at 11 PM watching Stewart’s comedy show. The only mental disorder visible is the steaming pile of **** you’re fond of sharing here.
Sounds like a wingnut is unhappy that a book he spent $29.95 for was referred to as a steaming pile of ****.
Tony, I disagree. Most liberals show poor enough judgment. I don’t find it that far fetched they would be up watching Colbert. (btw..I think he comes on much earlier than Stewart.)
And you’ve got to pay closer attention. I didn’t say anything about them reading Palin’s book in school. You know that would never be allowed. Too busy reading Gore’s book.
martin, first, I don’t pay $29.95 for my books. I buy my books at Sam’s, Walmart or Costco at half that price.
Second, if I’m going to comment on something, I usually try to inform myself about the subject. If I were to sit here and comment, pro or con, all day long about something I didn’t take the effort to at least do some cursory research on, then I would just be like…well….you guys.
For the record, I haven’t purchased or read her book yet which is why I haven’t commented on it’s contents. I will though, because if and when I do comment, I prefer to have some knowledge of what I’m speaking about.
TN woke up with a case of poopie pants this morning.
Frances, very mature.
TN you prove my point.
Well Frances. Based on the two comments, if I “proved” your point, the only point I made was that your comment was immature. (Unless “poopie pants” is some of that grown up talk you alluded to!)
Okay. I’ll buy that. See. We CAN agree on some things.
Did I misspell poopie? Did I leave any participles dangling? Do pants really have a liberal bias?
Frances, I’m not sure. Until today, “poopie” was not a part of my every day vernacular!
That’s not one I’ve noticed on my “Word A Day” Calendars either. Thanks for helping me expand my vocabulary.
I really do love words.
btw….did purchase Palin’s book today at Costco for $15.79. (Thank you very much martin.) But I’m sure by the time I get through reading it, y’all will be assailing some other Conservative/Republican.
@PoopiePants: I’m LMAO!
TN, I suggest you use poopie in a sentence at least once a day until you get familiar with it. Once you’re comfortable with poopie, try introducing it into casual conversation. That will show people that you are really in the know about poopie and all things poop. Don’t be afraid to experiment with poopie. Try combining it with other impressive words to show others how much you really know about it.
Frances, I’ll certainly take your suggestion under consideration.
TN, reading Going Rogue will give you a head start on the mastery of poopie. It is a rich resource.
@Frances: The mastery of poopie! Also, Poopie for Dummies! I read your comment to TN & thought it was from TN. I was just about to say, “TN, I’m glad your getting a sense of humor.” And then, I woke up. I realized it was you when a re-read it. I must be tired. (frm Anomaly)
Frances, You’ve already read it?
Chester, I’ll let you “handle” the mastery of poopie. Sounds like something you might excel at. And you sound like someone who has hands on experience!
@NutCase: Only when I change the cat box. I like animals more than Republicans. One has a conscience & the other votes.
I’d like to ask you a serious question. Do you mind?
Chester, actually, I do mind. I see no reason in affording you any measure of credibility.
@FruitCake: Fine, I didn’t think you could handle a simple question without talking points anyway. You think I have no credibility & you think President Obama doesn’t either?
I’m in good company then! Mwhaaa!
“Tennesseean says: Frances, You’ve already read it?”
If you get close enough, you can smell it.
And I see that when you have little tantrums, you take them out on innocent bystanders. If you want no credibility, just keep saying that others don’t have it. That’s sure to work.
Frances, is that a “No”? And are you Chester’s mother?
TN, on behalf of those subscribed to email updates of this thread who are rightfully annoyed by it, I will not continue it.
Frances, Fair enough. But a couple of final thoughts. First, I simply sought to make the point that you have not read the book. So why say the things you have said? If I were to do the same, all of you would be piling on me hysterically. Simply put, how can you so completely trash a book, a movie, anything, without first educating yourself about the subject? And your comments like, “If you get close enough, you can smell it.” do you little service intellectually.
Next, I’d like to preface my final remark with this observation. I have always found people that cry about being annoyed when emails appear in their in box they ASKED for….well….annoying. First, it is such a simple task to simply delete those they have no interest in. It seems to me when you ask for “email updates” from a site such as this, you have to understand not all of them may rise to YOUR level of interest.
Finally, I had not thought of it in that context of “annoying” people because they get email updates they requested. Mostly because of my personal thoughts on the matter. I have responded to (sorry) idiotic comments here simply for the personal entertainment factor. Many of them, even as I have sat here chuckling to myself preparing a response at the behest of the devil on one shoulder, the angel on the other was whispering in my ear that I should just ignore stupidity. That I would be the better person in so doing.
An example being the whole Chester string of comments on another post. (I’m not going to go through the effort of digging out exactly which one.) Her initial comment very lightly touched on the subject at hand and the balance of her comments were simply sophomoric comments aimed at digging on me. They were irrelevant and served no purpose. But the devil on my shoulder insisted over the protestations of the angel to expose her ignorance. And I was weak. Forgive me.
I will endeavor in the future to avoid responding to idiotic insults and attacks that have little or nothing to do with the subject at hand. Not because I feel they are right, but out of respect for those who have expressed “annoyance” over the burdensome task of receiving and deleting emails they requested.
In return, I would appreciate it if people like Chester and, yes Frances, You, refrain from commenting on “me” and comment on the subject at hand.
Now allow me to ask one last thing of “you guys”. I need no lectures from any of you about you didn’t ask for this or that and it’s not right you should have to receive something in your mailbox you asked for. I understand your position though I do not entirely agree with you. And I will endeavor to refrain from perpetuating an ignorant string of comments, even though I am rarely ever the one to initiate them.
So please, don’t initiate what I am offering to cease with commentary on how wrong I am. I recognize it may be an issue with some. I don’t necessarily agree it SHOULD be an issue. But I will respect Mario’s Blog and do my best to refrain from responding in kind to stupidity.
TN, I was just trying to be considerate to others by not continuing to engage you in an unimportant discussion about an unimportant (to me) book that was only the topic because it was hilariously lampooned by one of my favorite comedians.
I’ve explained in great detail on other occasions why I don’t want to buy or waste time reading the book. I will leave that up to the critics. If the author were someone I respected and wanted to read, I would not let a bad review convince me not to read it. So you go ahead and enjoy Going Rogue. If that’s your thing, it’s nobody’s business but your own. I do not like Sarah Palin’s politics. I have nothing against her as a person other than the fact that she can’t be bothered to verify her own fuzzy recollections. If she was a friend of mine, we just wouldn’t talk about politics.
Also, I have no idea what the first sentence of your last paragraph means. I’m serious. Please clarify. Or not.
