On being selected an NBA All-Star starter after playing just 10 games — “I’m like President Bush. You may not like me, you may not respect me, but you voted me in.” (H/T: Eric Umansky)

    I’m sure CHIMPya was DEEPLY GRATIFIED and RELIEVED to hear of the STERLING VALIDATION of his CALUMNY by the Honourable Shaq who is a PARAGON of VIRTUE and All-Seeing, All-Knowing OMNISCIENCE–After All, didn’t Shaq PLAY the world’s most powerful genie(jinn) in KAZAAM(tm)? All CHIMPya has to do is rub the lamp(he might rub the genie instead–naughty boy!)and KAZAAM! or is it SHAZAM! Bush and Torticola Cheney’s policies are AUTOMATICALLY VALIDATED AND ACCEPTED BY EVERYBODY–IN THEIR DREAMS!!!!! MORE LIKELY CHIMPya will rub the lamp and KAZAAM-SHAZAM! Bush and Cheney and all of Bushland Uber Allies find themselves in Saladin’s dungeon in 1187 A.D. AWAITING BEHEADING!!!!!

    The preeminent dichotomy of every moment is choosing which reality is less painful or more expedient to live in. Some realities are less truthful than others: W was never [fairly] elected :(


  15. Paul in LA says:

    Bush didn’t win either of his selections.

    Though the major blogs have been WAY SLOW about embracing the strong evidence of that statement — the fear of calling VOTE FRAUD! being a big part of how Bush has stolen both elections — the facts are quite clear.

    2006’s elections WERE ALSO STOLEN. We won more seats in both Houses, and something like 2/3 of the states had illegal vote tabulation. The federal government banned one of the three testing & certification companies (Ciber) for a total lack of testing and legal certification LAST SUMMER — but didn’t bother to tell the states who relied on those (illegal) certifications.

    The ‘alternative media’ that covered the issue — including Democracy Now! — screwed up the coverage (intentionally?) to give the impression that the disqualification of Ciber occured after the election, instead of four months BEFORE November’s crucial election.

    And now? Little or no coverage of vote-fraud on ThinkProgress’ pages. ‘Shaq’s joke — no context for why it’s wrong.

    Think, when will you be helping fight the vote-fraud? Are we to expect “a major exposé” in December or January of 2008?

    TOO LATE is not progress, Think.

    i’ve heard that shaq has been changing his republic mind lately… but,
    whenever i’ve seen him talk, I sure never got that he was a dummy…


  17. JPark says:

    I am guessing Shaq’s LSU grades were similar to Bush’s in Harvard. I am guessing, as well, that he deserved them just as much.
