Looks like it’s a ‘wrap’ for the week!

Thanks much to our gracious hosts/moderators who allow us to come here to add our 2 cents!  Cheapest therapy around!  :0)

A couple of things to make you go Hmmm…???

"Well-behaved women rarely make history".You'll bring many things to the dance but indifference is never there.

This earlier comment by Independent Redneck has me wondering WHERE are all the strong intelligent Republican’t woman around here??

Representing Proud Educated Strong Liberal Woman here @ FR are:  
______________

Nashville Fan, Pat, Boston, Anita, Jody Iowa, Pam San Pedro, Beverly, Chicago, Gingerbread Mama, Sharon IL, Gail TN, Clara KC, AmyB, NewdayDAWNING, LB Virginia, Seattle Sue, Michigan Sue, Barbara, Ft. Lauderdale, Deborah Greenlawn, NY, Anna Molly, Lyn, KCMO, JoiG, Auntie Facist, Vermont Girl, Try the truth, K, Oregon, Cathy, Newport KY, Cindy, Las Vegas (where are YOU GF?  Come back you’re missed) and many others who I apologize to for not including!
_____________

Then we have our regular cast of not ready for prime time players who are ‘high’ on their own testosterone representing the righties who enjoy nothing more than bashing the liberal woman on this site!

Other than NoJoNoBO it makes me wonder where are all the proud strong educated woman representing the right?? Notice how I omitted ‘independent’?

Anyone else catch the commercial this morning on the Morning Joke show for NewsMax?  For a limited time only you can order ‘Going Rouge’ for ONLY $4.95 AND receive a FREE 4 month subscription to the rag!!!

Then you wonder why we give you right wing whack jobs ZERO credibility when you spout off about being on best seller lists!!!  Hell I WAS on a waiting list to get “Renegade’ while Barnes & Nobel had tables FULL of the Morning Jerk’s books!

You can fool some of the people some of the time…and you can fool losers ALL of the time! :0) I’ll give you a C- for effort though if it makes y’all feel better!  lol lol lol

Rest up Libbies (and you too FR crew) and have a GREAT weekend!

It’s going to be a busy week with Moosesilini on the prowl!  Without a doubt she’ll be handing us PLENTY of material to work with from her ‘Vendetta’ tour!

Ps: Remember to set your ‘DVR’s’ and if you haven’t seen it already… try to catch ‘By the People The Election of Barack Obama’ on HBO… that little 9 year old boy phone banking is PRICELESS!!!
Great week, gang.  Way to keep 'em flying.  The mornings were a little rough, FR?  Lots of meetings?

Mark, still waiting for photos from your trip,...

Look forward to hearing the comments on Monday, Have a great weekend, everybody.
Palin is GREAT.
She represents the perfect distraction from Obama's inability to lower unemployment, stop bank failures, control H1N1, end the Iraq and Afghan wars, prevent domestic terror and sleeper cells, save GM, close Gitmo and pass meaningful healthcare reform.

Think anybody will notice?  
Domenico… too funny!  The look on your face while ‘reporting’ on Palinpalooza!!! lol lol lol

You need to have Norah O’Donnell on more often! She’s by far one of the best female anchors NBC/MSNBC has! We all know who Andrea Mitchell is in bed with (literally...)

Oh and while we’re on the subject of O’Donnell’s…

Gotcha Gregory has GOT TO GO…
Give Larry O’ his OWN show…

And another anchor that's totally under rated IMHO is David Shuster!  I remember Rachel Maddow once saying 'I would hardly call David Shuster a liberal'

HUH? He's AWESOME... kicks ass and takes no prisoners... I mean Tom Tancredo (sp?) walked off the set last week when he was subbing for Ed Schultz!

Not that it's something we haven't come to expect from the right wing whack jobs... can't face the facts & tell the TRUTH... nah.. throw a temper tantrum instead!  lol lol lol

Happy Weekend!

If any democrat actually thought the GOP would EVER give President Obama a chance, well, I knew they wouldn't!!

He had a chance until he proved to be a pathological liar.  
The President is on foreign business next week, hope we get a little coverage of that and not 13 days of 24 hour Palin talk.  There are really big important issues so a little less Palin and little more substantive topics would be nice but I appreciate that FR tries to inject some lighter weight topics so we posters lighten up a bit occasionally.

Anyone else notice, the dogs, moons, bobos were absent today and we actually had some reasonable debates from both sides with only a smattering of silly snark?  

FR staff, and FR posters--great job, have a nice weekend, see you back here Monday.



I am still chuckling over the fact that it's called "the going rogue tour" - too funny..thanks for the laughs
Get the quotes, any quotes, of Bush putting down Clinton. Take your time, you won't find any.

Really?? Bush went into office blaming Bill Clinton, and left office blaming Bill Clinton!! That, despite the fact he inherited a suprlus!! Want more?? You betch!!

“When I took office, our economy was beginning a recession.” — Bush, 8/7/02

“In terms of the economy, look, I inherited a recession, I am ending on a recession.” — Bush, 1/12/09

“When I took office, our economy was beginning a recession.” — Bush, 8/7/02

“In terms of the economy, look, I inherited a recession, I am ending on a recession.” — Bush, 1/12/09

"The National Bureau of Economic Research, which gives the government’s official dictum on recessions, said the “recession” began under President Bush: the economic “expansion that began in March 1991 ended in March 2001 and a recession began.”

In fact, before it entered office, the Bush administration was blaming its predecessor for a recession that had not yet begun.

“Do you think we’re on the front edge of a recession?” asked Tim Russert. “I think so,” said Dick Cheney in December 2000.

You betcha!!
