You know, just ask Moon Bat, that handshake is the international gay sign language for "you just teabagged me and I loved it."

Actually, Obongo being from Chicago really knows these types--hell he's one himself. He was making damn sure Chavez didn't get a hand in his pocket.

I’m thinking of doing a blog-post on the 10 most obnoxious celebrity bigots. Bill Maher, Janeane Garofalo, and Rosie O’Doughnuts are shoo-ins… but who else? It would be so hard to narrow it to 10. Suggestions?

There's just something about that 'handshake' that gives me the creeps......uuhhh, oh, HEY! It looks like their jerking each other off!! Now thems some GOOOOD buddies!!!

It is things like this that will make the left wake up to the fact that the majority of Americans are starting to wake-up to this what this guy really is.

Thank you, cowlove. And now for a real tip: Nanny Bloomberg wants to clamp down on fast food. Methinks this would not be happening if McD's served foie gras and pinot noir.

Gregory:
Babs Streisand would have to make that list. I recall during one of the CA power crises, she suggested in her blog that people should forgo use of automatic driers. When her spokescritter was asked if 'Ms. Streisand' was leading by example, the response was, 'You are kidding, right.'
Posted by: Viking04 at April 20, 2009 12:22 PM
I thought that handshake meant Obama want gay sex with Chavez with Obama "receiving" as Chavez's thumb goes into a circle created by Obamas thumb and forefinger. Not that theres anything wrong with that. [wink] [wink]
Ok, maybe it was some special gang hand shake. Thats possible too.

Gregory,
Top 3:
Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, Michael Moore.
It would be hard to knock any of those out of the top 3.
Remainder:
Sean Penn, Rosie O, Whoopie G, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Streisand, Al Frankin, Mike Farrell, Susan Sarandon, Nick Nolte, Ed Asner, Tim Robbins, Harry Belafonte, Jane Fonda, Ted Turner, Robert Redford, Ed Bagely, Janeane G, Bruce Springsteen... 95% of Hollywood and pop/rock music.
Other celeb wannabes:
Cindy Sheehan, Ward Churchill, Jeremiah Wright, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, George Soros, Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Norman Finkelstein...Michelle Obama.
Perhaps a better list would be the non-obnoxious, classy celebs such as Robert Duvall, Tom Selleck, Angie Harmon...
Posted by: lvb-rocks at April 20, 2009 2:10 PM

Apparently, Oblame-us thinks he can impress us with the "belt tightening" of his cabinet ... by an amount which, by my calculations, equals .0008% of the 12 trillion or so dollars of debt that he has incurred in the last 30 days.
SPIN METER: Saving federal money the easy way
He really must think we're idiots, probably because he's used to his supporters who are exactly that.
Posted by: ent at April 20, 2009 2:41 PM
Gregory, I would love for you to compile your list. Conservatives are always so offended by the likes of Janeane Garofalo and Sean Penn because when one of the few Conservatives in Hollywood say anything, they sound like witless wonders. As for Naqmel's mention of Ted Nugent, Ha! Talk about a hack in the realm of politics and entertainment. Alice Cooper would likely disappoint you when it comes to politics, I have had that conversation with him here in Detroit. The fact that liberal celebrities have a loud microphone and choose to use it just kills you. When it comes to the arts, a world where free and open thinking create a world that America made song,dance,creative arts,homosexuality,and music part of our culture. Gregory, make your list, I dare you. If you should, I will counter it with my own, and define it with actions that really show America's Got Talent. And good luck with any Conservative list that isn't just some washed up hack.
Posted by: Ghost of Wellstone at April 20, 2009 4:03 PM
Wellstone, here are some good conservative celebrities that aren't "Washed up hacks":
1. Kelsey Grammer
2. Teri Hatcher
3. Adam Sandler (He may not be up for any Oscars any time soon, but his films' box office numbers tend to be 10 times higher than those for any film Garofalo's been involved in)
4. James Woods
5. Alice Cooper (He is a strong conservative,though he has been quoted as saying he bases his decsions on voting on the candidates himself, rather than the parties they belong to; Last fall, we made a "Profile in Countermoonbattery" about his outspoken support of Sarah Palin).
In either case, it doesn't matter. Only a complete fool would base his political affiliation on what party his favorite actor or musician belongs to.

AP dares rebel against Obama Administration
The thrifty measures Obama ordered for federal agencies are the equivalent of asking a family that spends $60,000 in a year to save $6.
The president gave his Cabinet 90 days to find $100 million in savings to achieve over time.
For all the trumpeting, the effort raised questions about why Obama set the bar so low, considering that $100 million amounts to:
--Less than one-quarter of the budget increase that Congress awarded to itself.
--4 percent of the military aid the United States sends to Israel.
--Less than half the cost of one F-22 fighter plane.
--7 percent of the federal subsidy for the money-losing Amtrak passenger rail system.
--1/10,000th of the government's operating budgets for Cabinet agencies, excluding the Iraq and Afghan wars and the stimulus bill.

Paris... Oops, I mean, Perez Hilton attacks Miss California for not supporting degeneracy
Radical gay activist Perez Hilton who was a judge at the Miss USA contest last night says Miss California is a "dumb b*tch" for not supporting gay marriage.
Miss California, Carrie Prejean, said that marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Hilton also said that the crowd booed Miss California for her answer but if you watch the video she was clearly cheered.

Adam, aside from Sandler, I see a bunch of washed up hacks. In regards to your statement that I somehow base my politics on Hollywood elite, I suggest you read close to the top of this page. Where Greg wishes to blog his "Top 10". I encourage him to do it, it hardly worked out for Bernie. Janeane has all of you in fits, much like the Dixie Chicks did, and Sean Penn consistently does. For actors and actresses to have the chance to voice opinions and contribute to a social good, I applaud it. Do some go over the top? Absolutely. Are Conservatives so mad now, because what is being said is true? Absolutely. Another thing, the right hates the outspoken celebrities is because you have none, nothing to offer. From Hollywood to D.C....NOTHING. My challenge to gregory and his "I wanna be Bernie tantrum" is DO IT! I will counter it.

I wouldn't call Teri Hatcher 'Washed up': She does, after all, star on a hit TV series.
"In regards to your statement that I somehow base my politics on Hollywood elite, I suggest you read close to the top of this page."
I didn't say that, nor was I trying to imply that you based your politics off of that. I was simply making a point that the whole debate over celebrities is ridiculous.
"For actors and actresses to have the chance to voice opinions and contribute to a social good, I applaud it."
It is extremely debatable that many of those celebrities you mentioned "Contribute to a social good." I mean, Penn pals arond with Socialist dictators, and routinely reveals himself to be a pompous, obnoxious, egotistical, short- tempered, self- promoting ass. That doesn't sound like he's "Promoting a Social good."
Oh, and we didn't really get that angry over what Garofalo said, we just viewed it as a typical statement that an ignorant leftist who knows nothing about the tea party movement would make. What's more, anyone could see that Garofalo is the absolute epitome of a washed- up hack, so we don't really give a crap what she has to say.

I guess you meant that to be sarcastic or mocking. But a forest fire set by arson happens when the fire is lit--not when it has burned the forest. And he did indeed cause the collapse that is coming to be inevitable and he did do it in 90 days. You have told the exact and absolute truth!

This troll is to green to work with. Yawn....
Posted by: Oiao at April 20, 2009 9:35 PM
Oiao, you cannot have a balanced debate with the Left. You can only have the same conversation over and over.
Sane person: "You frieks are destroying the country with your collectivism and out of control spending frenzy."
Left: "95 % of the country will get a tax cut, and there will be 3.5 million new jobs."
Sane person: "You fool, if we borrow trillions of dollars from the Chinese and give it to ACORN, GM and yes, AIG and Goldman, we'll have a debt that can never be paid off - by me, or you."
Left: "95 % of the country will get a tax cut, and there will be 3.5 million new jobs."
Sane person: "Do you really think meeting with Ortega and Chavez is going to make the US more lovable, or solve problems like Iran getting a nuke and North Korea developing intercontinental ballistic missiles to carry them?"
Left: "95 % of the country will get a tax cut, and there will be 3.5 million new jobs."
Sane person: "I don't think you understand. If you spend $4 trillion and guarantee more trillions on loans that will likely default, you cannot continue tax cuts, you will have to raise them through the roof in a few yesrs; are you too effing dense to understand that? If you're in debt up to your eyeballs, the solution cannot be to take on more debt. And you can't turn around an economy by giving millions of displaced professionals shovels and telling them to build roads. What a stupid, nonsensical, and ultimately cynical non-plan."
Left: ""95 % of the country will get a tax cut, and there will be 3.5 million new jobs."
And so on.

90-days. LOL! You silly liberals just don't get it. Is it because you’re stupid or blind?
The market 'started its collapse' when it began to look like 'Obama the Socialist' had a cat's chance in the doghouse of winning. Then when 'Oh-mighty Socialist' actually pulled together enough liberal dumbasses (through cheating and The Teleprompter) to win the idiot’s nomination the market tanked further. And when the Big Empty 'Oh!' pulled off the mind numbing impossible win (thanks to empty promises, cheating, lying, racist accusations, ACORN & the Dallas Cowboys, and handlers that used dumbass liberal guilt) the market REALLY tanked.
And silly liberals STILL want to blame Bush - even though the people who make and approve the deficit have been entirely LIBERAL since 2006 - Nanny Pelousy, Hairy Reed & Co.
Silly liberals - they can't even wipe their sorry butts without getting shit on their fingers. But even THAT is someone else's fault. Did Bush make you get shit on your fingers, silly liberal? If you didn't lick it off, maybe you wouldn't be so damned sick.
The sorry dipshits are wasting good oxygen and creating greenhouse gasses. Their “thoughts” amount to no more than a cow fart.
Obama is a dumbass, and his supporters are dumbass X 10.
Posted by: Jimbo at April 20, 2009 10:25 PM
Hey Jimbo - Why don't ya go rope a cow or a pinapple, or something, don't ya?
How about Obama's plan to reduce the current spending that HE is pushing (can't blame bush) by about .00029% so that he can make a sound byte on the news?
Pretty pathetic.
That is like a family who spends $60,000 a year reducing (cutting) spending by $6 a year.
This guy is a joke. And Liberals are a joke because they believe in him = real logic.
Obama will be forever know in history for economic failure and creating the biggest successful 'Black Market' the USA has ever had.

Earth Day 2009!
For all those waiting in patient expectation, this year’s Earth Day celebrations will be held this Wednesday, April 22nd, at various locales on Earth.
(Nostalgia buffs may want to peruse last year’s reflections on this momentous annual event, “Earth Day 2008″ at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=78.)
This will be the 39th annual Earth Day. The 2009 and 2010 observances have been subtitled, “The Green Generation,” in recognition of the advent of spring, I foolishly assumed, but that was an incorrect assumption as it turns out. I guess the package deal is meant to reduce the Earth Day carbon footprint, or something.
Old farts may recall the original Earth Day in 1970 when its proponents were warning Earthlings to button up their overcoats, assuming that by now the then-imminent New Ice Age would have spread across the continent and enveloped everything from the Statue of Liberty to the fruited plain to the Golden Gate Bridge in one huge ice cube. We all know what assumptions and assuming can lead to.
We all make mistakes, no? The Earth Day people view critical mistakes as occasions to re-group, take a temperature reading, and re-define what they’re talking about since that can vary a great deal.
The Great Freeze Scam was thereafter supplanted in favor of the Global Warming Scam, merely coincidental with age-old, cyclical and natural solar activity, until the damned planet started cooling off again. Undismayed by reality, those who truly care about the Earth as opposed to the rest of us who don’t give a damn, switched gears and tactics and adopted a new buzz term, “climate change.” That, they figured, would cover them no matter what the Earth decided to do.
Put another way, any port in a storm, as long as an atmosphere of crisis could be maintained. Crises scared people and a sense of crisis in lieu of actual science was much more effective in instilling fear. More importantly, scared people would go along with just about anything, even absurdity.
Within the infinitesimally brief period of mere decades, the Earth Day gang had gone full circle. They initially were warning humankind that we were all gradually becoming encased in a global ice cube that would be so cold that human habitation thoughout the planet would be extinguished and we would all wish we were basking in the warm fires of Hell. It progressed to terrifying the planet that it would be bubbling over from an unbearable, unending heat. Lady Liberty and the Golden Gate could be on the verge of melting into, respectively, New York harbor and San Francisco Bay and America’s fruited plain would be like toasted oats. They finally settled on the fail-safe, mid-range buzz term of climate change which would cover their crisis-centered sorry asses no matter what.
I think the 2004 blockbuster movie, “The Day after Tomorrow” was the tipping point in the thinking of the Earth Day scaremongers. It had some great special effects but the preposterous premise that the hot horrors of global warming would, virtually overnight, lead to the frigid ferocity of global freezing tested their imaginations to such a degree that an alternative had to be found to preserve the minds of Al Gore and Company, and climate change was their savior.
Hope springs eternal with that whole crew, not hope for humanity as much as hope to accomplish the true goals of the movement which are wrapped up in U.N. schemes such as the Kyoto Protocol and re-distribution of the world’s wealth, a euphemism for stealing from Americans to give unto non-Americans.. . .

As far as Liberal Fascism goes, don't limit yourselves to Obama when pointing the finger. Here's something disturbing I found:
Cartoon: Loose Lips Empty Ammo Clips
Cagle, who usually slants the cartoons he chooses toward the Left, bringing just a few token right-wing cartoons to be able to call himself fair and balanced with a straight face, decided there was no need to do that in his recent front page feature, Gun Violence. Not a single right-wing, anti-gun-control position represented. Bipartisanship at its finest.
But this cartoon itself, by Don Wright, is extremely disturbing. Anyone with half a brain (i.e. not a liberal) can see the cartoon is calling for freedom of speech to be curtailed. To cap it all, this cartoonist, just like Rahm, is about not letting a good crisis (shootings in the one case, the recession in the other) go to waste.
The sickness did not start from above. It's in the rank and file of the leftists, and it's apparent now only because they've managed to elect one who's truly of their own.
There will be a civil war. Not so much because of what this government's doing than because of its exposure of the terrible truth, that there are two nations in America.

Perez Hilton calls a beauty pageant contestant "dumb b----" just because her opinion is not the same as his.

Now, I personally am not a supporter of beauty pageants, nor did I watch the TV show. I heard about this on the radio this morning. I am sick of these moon bat weirdos who have to "force" their opinions on us. He asked her for her opinion. Her opinion was not the same as his. She gave a good, articulate answer. Perez Hilton needs to disappear from the face of the earth.
