Armey to Walsh: ‘I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife.’
Today on MSNBC’s Hardball, Salon editor-in-chief Joan Walsh and former Republican House majority leader Dick Armey engaged in a heated exchange on Rush Limbaugh and his recent controversial comments. Walsh repeatedly condemned Limbaugh’s remarks, saying that conservatives should stand up to the hate radio host. Toward the end, the conversation turned sexist when Armey said he was glad he wasn’t married to Walsh:
ARMEY: I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife because I surely wouldn’t have to listen to that prattle from you every day.
WALSH: Boy, that makes two of us sir. That was really an outstanding comment.
ARMEY: That’s what I’m talking about — she’s making a political malarkey here.
Watch it:
Update Politico reports that New York Times columnist Bob Herbert told host Chris Matthews that Armey "was so far out of line in the last segment with his sexist comments, and he owes Joan Walsh and your viewers an apology." Matthews called the comments “overboard” and apologized on Armey's behalf.

Why would he be thinking about marrying her in the first place? How does that even cross his mind?
January 28th, 2009 at 8:25 pmOh good. I just posted a link to this video of Armey drunk on the air (hell, he wasn’t sober!) and being a sexist Neocon Pig in the House-Stimulus thread two down from here.
MSNBC can be emailed here:

January 28th, 2009 at 8:27 pmviewerservices@msnbc.com
Joan Walsh has class and if Armey would put down the tequila bottle long enough, he might be able to see that!
And when confronted with facts, what did Armey do? He became the typical right wing asshole that we’ve all come to “enjoy” online for years now!
January 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pmFINALLY some people are hitting back at Limbaugh. Everyone has been so affraid of him and it is so refreshing to finally see some pushback.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:32 pmEspecially since the defense is so poor. If this is what conversations with Republicans is going to debase to, I don’t think there’s much to worry about.
When you actually attack their arguments it always seems to get down to petty insults… And I don’t think the average viewer is into that.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:34 pm… engaged in a heated exchange on Rush Limbaugh …
shouldn’t it be “ABOUT Rush Limbaugh…”?
for a second there i thought they were on his show…
January 28th, 2009 at 8:37 pmDick Armey has been feeding at the public trough so much, so long, that he doesn’t realize he’s eating his own shit.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:38 pmDick Armey….I thought he was already engaged to Lindsey Graham.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:39 pmWhy am I not surprised that Mr. Mathews did not have the courtesy or the cajones to let DICK Army know that his inane , sophomoric , sexist comments did not help him or his position . I cracked-up listening to ex-congressman Army talk about not taking politicians seriously …… this was McCains economic answer … Dick Army has no shame .
January 28th, 2009 at 8:42 pmArmey is trying in vain to sell his attractiveness on MSNBC,playing the wanted and the desirable.
I wonder if he is related somehow to Joe The Plumber..
January 28th, 2009 at 8:42 pmWhy do Republicans seem to consistently lunge for the lowest-common-denominator insult when things aren’t going their way in a debate?
Which is pretty much all the time, by the way…
January 28th, 2009 at 8:46 pmIt is very entertaining to see Dick Armey playing the picky and the choosy.

___________
Because they’re little more than schoolyard bullies w/ no real argument. “Do what I say or else” hardly counts as “policy”. When the pseudo-authoritarian schtick fails, which it seems to be doing w/ increasing regularity these days, that frustrated bully comes out, and ALL they have to run on is rage an petty insults. Thank Dog more and more folks are pushing back, FINALLY.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:50 pmHe reminds me of my Republican father during one of his drunken tirades. “That pretty little lady should keep her mouth shut and get in the kitchen and fix him some dinner!!”
A@@hole.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:51 pmI’m really glad Dick Armey isn’t my gay lover. I’m not sure he’d be all into it, but I know I wouldn’t.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:53 pmIs Armey getting advice from OLielly now ?
January 28th, 2009 at 8:53 pmDick Armey is a chauvinistic patronising PIG. Pay no attention to him unless you have rotten tomatoes to hurl.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:54 pmArmey proved himself to be a total ass.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:54 pmWTF kind of creepy things does dick have on his mind?
January 28th, 2009 at 8:55 pmwhen i saw the original run on hardball, my jaw dropped open. apparently, the repukes are in such a state of disarray these days they don’t even try to veil their disdain of women.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:56 pmWhy would Joan want to be married to an Army of Dicks?
F that guy.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:56 pmWhat a misogynistic a$$wipe.
January 28th, 2009 at 8:57 pmRepublicans, classy ’til the bitter end…
January 28th, 2009 at 9:00 pmArmey’s drunk. Also a jerk.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:02 pmyou stay classy, DICK!
January 28th, 2009 at 9:03 pmApparently, MSNBC is now rounding up drunk neocons at the local bar to prove that President Obama is bad. Spit.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:05 pm“I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife…” ??!!
WTF? I can’t get used to this. This is a very bizarre statement. I’ll bet the dismissive “prattle” set a lot of women’s teeth on edge.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:07 pmI’m betting that Mrs. Dick Armey is waiting at home…ready to slap the sh*t outta him.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:10 pmI know I would if my husband said some crap like that.

“You bet’cha, dont’cha know!”
January 28th, 2009 at 9:11 pmAnd Mrs. Tweety needs to slap some sense into her husband, too!
January 28th, 2009 at 9:12 pmThey’re regressive for a reason.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:14 pmKay, from a previous thread:
KayInMaine Says:
Did everyone see Dick Armey drunk..?
Sure did. Emailed that *sshole Matthews for giving a forum to such a bigot and scumbag.
Matthews did say Armey “went over the line” in a following segment, which means MSNBC’s lines and computers had to be smoking from the incoming anger.
Armey is one of those people that you’d just punch for GP if you ever met him. Like a Hannity. They just seem to need to be hit.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:15 pmholy tasers batman, that was unbelieveable!!!
did dick armey just do that for real? right when you think you see the last of the “just ignore rush or coulter or…” argument you get broadsided by the politics-is-inane plank. this from a guy who showed a clear disrespect for that chick, i mean woman/journalist/editor liberal. as the poison stew rush has brewed seeps into our political dialogue. we the americans who still care do need to keep talking about why rush is bad or wrong for the function of democracy. no man gets to hide behind his job, especially not when you’re making what he makes. this whole genre he is part creator part inheritor of is plain and simply toxic and i think we saw a little of it in armey’s display.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:18 pmformer Republican House majority leader Dick Armey
– - Ugh, it must be getting time again for Tom DeLay to slither onto Hardball.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:18 pmDid anyone see Tweety’s next guest? He said that Dick Armey owed an apology to Joan Walsh, and I cheered. (I was really mad when I heard that and I was ready to write to MSNBC. Why all the Republican pundits anyway?) I can’t remember the guy’s name – black, journalist, maybe? Anybody else see it?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:22 pmdpatrick,
That very correct gentleman was Bob Herbert, one of the best.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:25 pmDick Armey”s “comments” is presicely why the wingnuts and whackjobs cannot be ignored. To ignore them is to leave the field of public opinion to them. That cannot happen.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:27 pmThanks so much, Lokidog, for sending an email to MSNBC speaking your mind about Armey being drunk and for being a sexist Pig!
January 28th, 2009 at 9:29 pmBy trying to stereotype Walsh in such an insulting and demeaning way, he was just trying to dismiss her (and you notice he didn’t have anything of his own to offer). I wonder if he has any idea how bad, how small, how unintelligent, chauvinistic and outdated he made himself look…
Damn Joan Walsh for not knowing her place… (/snark)
January 28th, 2009 at 9:30 pmArmey says: “I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife..”
All I can think is “who the hell would WANT to be your wife..?”
January 28th, 2009 at 9:34 pmnwmuse,
I agree. I could see that attitude that Archie Bunker exemplified, only not as funny.
As for who might want to be his wife? Oh, I don’t know, Jeff Gannon, maybe?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:38 pmDickhead Armey will be the next one to sub-let Larry Craig’s men’s room stall.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:42 pmWayne, probably someone who still goes by that wonderful “Fascinating Womanhood” manual… Someone who knows her place..
January 28th, 2009 at 9:42 pmArmey says: “I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife..”
– - Walsh should’ve shot back, “If I were your wife you’d immediately be a widower.”
January 28th, 2009 at 9:43 pmPoor little dick. The House has changed a lot since his time — a female speaker, a healthy democratic majority, fellow hacks ousted. Remember when the GOP faced so much trial-and-error in choosing a speaker to replace Gingrich during the 1990s? Scandalous candidates were all they had to choose from, Armey included, until they settled on Hastert, who was ousted in scandal himself.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:44 pmThis calls to mind this famous exchange:
Lady Astor to Churchill “Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison.”
Churchill: “Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it.”
January 28th, 2009 at 9:46 pmMr. Armey can be emailed at

Isn’t Alberto still looking for a steady gig?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:47 pmFrom Wikipedia:
He replied “If I were in the President’s place I would not have gotten a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, ‘How do I reload this damn thing?‘”

This calls to mind this famous exchange:

Churchill: “Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it.”
And it reminds me of the National Lampoon parody (I wish there was a link, but I’m sure there isn’t) on “The Wit of Winston Churchill”, which parodied his many famous exchanges. That particular one went:
Lady Astor to Churchill “Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison.”
Churchill: “Madam, if I were your husband, I’d beat the living shit out of you.”
January 28th, 2009 at 9:53 pmOh my! [flutter flutter] didn’t THAT segment just sparkle with late-middle age “sex-zuality”! That will REALLY boost the ratings. If the oldsters keep acting like this there will be another outbreak of “live fast die young [before you're 30]. Yikes! Turn the channel.
January 28th, 2009 at 9:56 pmDoes anybody know what’s up with the DTV delay act? Did the House not like the deal brokered in the senate or are they opposed to any delay in general?
January 28th, 2009 at 9:58 pmWhat a total dickhead. This man’s personal integrity now resides in the toilet. Joan Walsh has more class in her pinky finger that this sexist pig has in his entire body. Old typical Republican think – women are inferior and just prattle.
Fact is that Joan Walsh is heads and shoulders above Armey in terms of intelligence.
I’d say that Matthews pulled a typical ‘Matthews’ on Armey and just let him $hit in his pants in front of america.
The old codger’s toast.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:03 pmAnd Tweety didn’t apologize to Joan Walsh until Herbert spoke up. He was the only gentleman around apparently. I’d love to have seen Keith have a shot at Armpit.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:09 pmApparently, losing ones cool and insulting ones opponent while she’s drinking your milkshake is, to wingnuts, “cleaning her clock”.
Actually, it makes sense. They really do think this is “winning”.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:10 pmI would be drunk too (24/7) if I were a repug.
That vid just shows ya more of the dizzying repug mindset.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:11 pmHi Proud
January 28th, 2009 at 10:11 pmYeah, but give Tweety some credit — he did tell joan that she said it very well and that it “was not prattle”
January 28th, 2009 at 10:11 pmHey Proud, what are you smoking?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:16 pmproud is just glad no one would be his wife too. He’s into the airport bathroom sex, like all good republicans…
January 28th, 2009 at 10:21 pmProud Says:
He cleaned her clock, who is that stupid woman, no wonder she writes comedy for that libtard rag salon.
I saw nothing of the like. I did notice, however, that Dick Armey set his own clock back to the 50s and promptly got his ass handed to him, with the outrage still pouring in.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:28 pmDick Armey is a Texas politician. I’m glad I don’t live in that state anymore.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pmJoan Walsh is a political hack glezzery and Limbaugh is a genius right. You people must all be retarded.
Obama has no experience doing anything? I believe he got at least 7 million more votes than McCain and that includes all the votes you GOPers stole again.
I suspect your getting ready to spam another thread so I FLAGGED already because I’m sick of your BS.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:29 pmpfft like this is new. hes a republican they dont respect women who talk out of place and dont mind their positions
January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pmso glezzery
January 28th, 2009 at 10:34 pmAre you still thinking the obnoxious approach is the one best suited to you? Have you considered a more sophisticated style? I think you thrive on the negative feedback. What sort of childhood did you have? Just wondering
best-
What is your beef with Belgium? I think Rush represents Cuba what with the cigars and all…
January 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pmHey everyone please give glezzery attention. glezzery needs attention.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:35 pmWhy would i use sophisticated here?
Think Progress doesn’t rise to the level of requiring sophistication.

January 28th, 2009 at 10:37 pmOkay let’s work off of that premise? Is that okay with you?
can you please stop with the lmao. It is so ninth grade. Anyway, are you okay with #78? I think we could really dig deep into the mechanisms of your inner being and what motivates your continued presence at this place you alledgedly despise.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:39 pmBelgium is quite nice. You may be onto something. Why do those who wish to wrap the flag about themselves always b itch about the big bad government of the greatest nation? I find that weird. If the USA is such the shits why the endless whining about the taxes and the regulation and the “big” government and all?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:43 pmglezzery Says:
Joan IS a leftist political hack. Translation: I’m bitter that Dick Armey got rolled.
The Democrats DO play altruistic politics for votes.
They play class and race warfare.
1. Barack The Magic Negro
2. Taxes are for the little guys
3. Union busting
4. Largest company CEOs bringing in an average of $10 million dollars compensation in the midst severe recession.
Choosing from the above, which war was started by a democrat?
And Rush is right.
Far right. Committed to a mental institution right.
He has no experience doing ANYTHING that gives confidence he knows what he is doing!
What is he not doing that a president normally should do? He’s consulting with lots of people and preparing to make big choices. Take for example, he consulted today with the JCS on their turf. He’s letting people serve their purpose. Do you want the president, and therefore the country, to fail?
In the end, who cares what Joan Walsh OR Rush Limbaugh thinks!?!?
The 53% who voted for Obama, or eight million more people than McCrazy.
Are they changing YOUR minds?
Are they adding some much needed weight to yours?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pmLike there is a fountain of sophisticated intelligent discussion going on on these threads!
—
January 28th, 2009 at 10:44 pmPLease explain your continued presence or are you some sort of unintelligent insophisticated individual seeking comfort amongst your own kind?
I see that we will be getting nowhere. Are you the same grown up that yammered away as a kid on your dads cb radio just to get attention from the truckers back in the day?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:45 pm@ 4:02 – Using his power of clairvoyance, Armey predicts the following: “Then were gonna have this controversy, ‘Oh… Dick Armey’s insulting somebody!’”
68 seconds later – Dick Armey causes a controversy by insulting somebody.
He just somehow couldn’t stop himself in time!
January 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pmYou’re the only guy around here who needs a nanny glezzery. Ruining another thread so you can get your nickel a post from the RNC. Now that’s impressive, loser.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:52 pmglezzery, you almost sound like Ann Coulter.. Creepy..
January 28th, 2009 at 10:53 pmWith your stupidity glezzery you shouldn’t be pointing fingers at anybody. I doubt you know what irony means but you certainly don’t know it when you see it or you’d stop typing.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:53 pmglessery say:
Nothing
No surprise there!
January 28th, 2009 at 10:54 pmIt isn’t about the nickels, it is about the negative attention. I see a post doc dissertation here
January 28th, 2009 at 10:54 pmI’ve seen slugs that would be more interesting to study than glezzery dbadass.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pmHi Shayne!
I was really impressed with Joan Walsh tonight. She kept her composer during that string of insults and unprofessional conduct of Armey. She didn’t deserve that kind of treatment, but she impressed me most with how she handled it.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:56 pmShe was the only person contributing anything of value to the discussion.
Armey owes her an apology. A public one.
The thought of being Armey’s wife and having to screw that jerk on an infrequent basis should have been enough to make Joan Walsh take a shower after the interview.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pmMaybe Armey thought he was doing a vodka/viagra commercial. That fat old loser is pathetic. Doesn’t he know that nobody likes a bully, especially an ignorant one?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pmPretty interesting IMHO the gelezzie is defending a mysogonistic meathead who has issues with intelligent women.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:57 pmMe thinks you’re onto something db.
No!

Why not. I think it would help all to grasp all of your profound thoughts within the context of your true self. Until than you just read as someone trying to be annoying and we wouldn’t want that now would we? Or would we?
January 28th, 2009 at 10:58 pm#98: I meant ‘composure’.. (duh)
January 28th, 2009 at 10:58 pmArmey probably shares Huckabee’s view that women have no place in business or politics and should stay home, raise the kids, and make sure dinner is on the table.
Welcome to the social conservatives’ version of “Pleasantville”.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:01 pmAre arrogant substance abusers the only thing left in the GOP?
January 28th, 2009 at 11:01 pmHi muse. I saw the original broadcast without warning today and I was amazed. What an idiot. I emailed him at the link somebody put above to let him know how charming he is.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:02 pmglezzery Says:
Joan is kinda Hot! No Palin but…
Yes, I’m sure Joan Walsh would be terrified to learn she’s nothing like the most ridiculed person of 2008.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:02 pmDick,
If there is a God, you and you ilk can no longer pro-create. Assuming God has a family planning guideline, it just isn’t possible.
If it is possibe, Obama’s next act should be to ban Viagra.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:02 pmJoan Walsh showed a level of composure and level headedness that was astounding given the assualt that Armey was throwing at her. Total Class! Anyone know if Olberman or Maddow jumped on this? I didn’t get time to watch them tonight.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:03 pmThe only thing Armey did was make Rush not the worst person TODAY.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:03 pmglezzery;
It would help if we could stay on a single topic. I can an alysis the scattered mind as well but it is easier when I do not have too.
Might you fancy a dicsussion of the alledged “hotness” of Ms Palin? I can work with you. Just settle on a topic
January 28th, 2009 at 11:04 pmJim Wolf359, I think all those shows are taped earlier in the day or are written earlier so they rarely mention anything like this until the next day. I can’t wait.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:04 pmKnocking Limpballs off the top of that list takes some doing.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:05 pmThats what I thought Shayne. Man, get the Tivo ready! I can’t wait to see what Olberman and Maddow do with this. Probably tie it in with Rush. Should be fun to watch!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:06 pmJim Wolf359, I would guess he will make Keith’s “Worst Person” tomorrow, and I can’t imagine Rachel not talking about it tomorrow.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:07 pmI still can’t imagine what Armey was thinking.. He just had to be out of material and the first thing that comes to mind is attack and condescend. It was pretty disgraceful. I really don’t remember seeing anything quite like that before.

Wayne A. Schneider Says:
That very correct gentleman was Bob Herbert, one of the best. And Tweety didn’t apologize to Joan Walsh until Herbert spoke up. He was the only gentleman around apparently.
If you appreciate Herbert’s classiness, drop a note to him at the NYTimes. He’s one of the few reasons to read the Opinion pages anymore.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:07 pmAnother thing, sleezery, most women don’t value themselves according to the “Hot” scale that emanates from America’s red state lemmings.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:08 pmI think Jon Steward will have a lot of fun with Armey tomorrow too, Yippee!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pmI agree Muse. What I really want to see is Keith and Rachel in full attack mode on this. time to put these whackjobs in their place!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:09 pmConservatives don’t seem to like the book learnin’.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pmWhat I don`t get is all of the fawning over Bush Limpballs….
January 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pmhe has nothing but hate,Oh I forgot that`s all the Reich knows is hate.They Hate losing,Obama,middle and working class people and of course America.
Shayne, you’re right.. Jon Stewart! Geez, I can’t wait.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:10 pmI forgot about Jon Stewart. Lordy, is HE going to have fun with this.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:11 pmNoticed that too jb. Thats what got us in so much trouble in the first place. You Betcha!!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:12 pmwow! now he is the very embodiment of a**hole…….basically his argument is that, since politicians are all insane/inane, we shouldn’t engage (at all) in politics or political discourse. and just the idea of increasing taxes is (of course) bad. and rush limbaugh is just irrelevant. right. what a d*ck!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:12 pmWhy is a successful, intelligent woman so threatening to conservatives – so much so that their brains fly out the window? Just asking..
January 28th, 2009 at 11:13 pmI think she is nasty. No sexual appeal whatsoever. Being a governor doesn’t really qualify as a measure of “hotness” in my world. I think she also might be some sort of free thinking anarchist and a possible grateful dead listener what with those weird kid names and all.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:14 pmThe only GOP people I know are whacked out on something…religion, Oxycontin, booze, meth, jingoism, “free market” ideology, greed, hate. They want to tell women what to do with their bodies and their minds. They want all the benefits of living in this fine country, but don’t want to pay for it.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:15 pm136-glezzery says:
Thats not the point you POS.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pmHe is just another Dick (Armey) from the Reich………and more discriminatory hate.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:16 pmReally? A complement usually goes over well with normal women in the proper context.
AND do you presume to speak for women?
Also, billions in cosmetics and fashion are not sold yearly for the purpose of becoming UNHOT!
lmao!
Women can wear perfume, cosmetics and fashion themselves with short skirts and still prefer not to be treated as objects. Maybe it’s reality, for a better job and the like. Harassment is not in any shape or form a comment.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:18 pmBooks are like kryptonite to the right. They just repeat lame talking points they heard from Limbaugh, O’Reilly and Hannity. Can’t you tell by glezzery.

January 28th, 2009 at 11:20 pmI see your capacity to judge HOTNESS is right up there with your capacity to judge COOLNESS. I sensed you had limited knowledge of climate science…
Before we get all up in arms about Dick, you need to know that he voted for the Iraq war, supported the falsehood that Hussein and Al Queada had ties, called Bernie Franks a “Hag” and called for a homeland for the Palestinians outside of Palestine, which the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee said was a call for ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
He’s an old dude from Texas and long-time member of the pact promulgating enlargement of the military-industrial comples.

Who here is going to say Palin is NOT hot?
Sure. In fact, that’s kind of the problem I have with her – she’s attractive and stupid, and when she runs for high office, she completely brings out the misogynist in me. Along with everybody else.
But you know, if you really tried you could probably find someone even hotter and even stupider to be the “new face” of the GOP. Heck, you could replace the Republican primaries with a swimsuit competition or a wet t-shirt contest. Because all Republicans know that’s the best way to pick people who have to make critically important decisions for the nation, right? It’s not like you care about intelligence or education or any of that crap, right?
glezzery, you are a human insult to your own party, if not humanity at large. A walking slap in the face. You may not mind so much being a drooling imbecile – I’m sure you’re used to it by now – but it’s just plain unfair to represent the entire GOP as being nearly as moronic as yourself.

Dumb as a post?
She is a governor of a state. I doubt she is DUMB.
___________
Well… in rhf’s defense, she did claim she could handle foreign policy, w/ a country like Russia, because…
“They’re our next door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska.”
I was wondering, when Palin said she supported Ukraine and Georgia joining NATO, she did understand that people where talking about the Georgia over in Asia, and not the one next to Florida…
January 28th, 2009 at 11:25 pmDidn`t the Shrub carry a C+ which is not much better than his approval rating.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:26 pmglezzery, your need to reduce a woman’s worth to her level of “hotness” tells me that your operating brain is located in your pants. So much of what you have to say makes sense now…
January 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pmWith that, I am off to retire for the night.
Dear Mr. Armey,
I have the distasteful assignment to tell you that Texas crackpots are no longer welcome at the party. However, they are holding their own gathering down by the river. Tom DeLay, Alberto Gonzales, Phil Gramm, and of course, George W. Bush will be there. You should too. John Cornyn has been invited but said, “Shouldn’t I get kicked out of office first?” Maybe you can convince him to come and bring his harmonica.
Thanks,
The Invited Partygoers

Palin? She is HOT, successful, HOT, one of 50 Governors, a mother, businesswoman…
Gov. Beverly Perdue (D-NC) is successful, one of 50 Governors, a former businesswoman, and most importantly a devoted mother and family person.
What’s your point?
She’s also WAAAY smarter than Palin. Regardless of whether you judge her to be “hot” is something I’m sure she’d easily disregard in light on her numerous achievements.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:27 pmGrief,

You gotta be kidding.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pmPalin is a tramp. McCain’s advisers go to her room and she greets them in a towel and nothing else. I suspect every career advancement she’s made has been under some old white creep’s desk. She sure didn’t get anywhere on brains.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:29 pmNope, He’s no kidding. Thats what makes him so funny.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:30 pmAlaska has less people then live in Obama’s neighborhood in Chicago. I don’t know what you think is wrong with ACORN but it is all a fabrication of your lying “leaders”. What a bunch of chumps you reich wingers are.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:31 pmNo Dick fears Palin.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:32 pmI think its way past time for Glezzie to take his meds. Either that or its way past his/her/its bedtime.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:33 pmThe most telling part of Palin’s stupidity is she actually believed the crap about ACORN and Ayers that McCain’s people made up for the campaign. That’s how you can tell she truly is dumb and not just pretending.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:34 pmCalling a woman HOT is NOT treating her like an object!
It is a false argument.
Treating women like objects or lesser people is treating them like lesser people and objects!
I Palin’s case, it is a statement of fact!
And im sure she would like the compliment.
She isn’t a feminist SENSOR looking for a slight in every action!
You’re missing the point. I doubt you right-wingers see women as being anything other than “hot”; otherwise, women not seen as “hot” by are grouped as bitter feminists jealous of “hot” women.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:34 pmIt smells like piss in here.
Jesus, glezzie — go change your pants!
January 28th, 2009 at 11:34 pmSure glezzery, we’re the anti-feminist racists. God you’re an idiot.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:34 pmHow can you mention Palin in the same sentence with Obama,He has a pedigree when it comes to college education and a class act and not to mention he kicked McPalins a$$ in Nov without slandering or telling outright lies anout McPalin.I blame Old man McWars for bringing her into the spotlight because he didn`t have enough balls to say no to Caribou Barbie as his running mate.

What the hell happened here? When I left a while ago, this thread was at 48 comments!
Ah, glezzery struck again, I see.
Back on topic (and I hope that I’m not repeating anyone), I wonder how many viewers’ jaws dropped right about the same time as Joan’s did. What an incredible and telling display of incivility on Dick’s part. It’s too bad that Tweety didn’t really say anything about it until Bob Herbert called for an apology from Armey.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:58 pmdbadass, weren’t you making shrimp scampi? Any leftovers?

January 29th, 2009 at 12:11 amMr. Obomber, maybe it’s the late hour or because I worked twelve hours today, but you’re not making any sense.
can you restate your comment so that it communicates the sentiment you wish to express?
Thanks ever so much.

January 29th, 2009 at 12:22 ambarack obomber Says:
haaa Mr. ACORN . good one. since they need all that money to reorganize the slums created by welfare and handouts.
Dude. Seriously. What is it with you and ACORN? Do you have the slightest clue what you’re babbling about? Do you even understand the first thing about the innuendo you’re intimating?
I am pretty sure that you are unaware of the fact that this package does not include a single dollar for ACORN. I am also pretty sure that you are unaware that ACORN itself is not under investigation for any voter registration fraud. I will lastly add that I am pretty sure you are unaware of what ACORN even stands for, let alone what they do.
So I will ask you, politely, to cease showing up here making odd comments about the president and ACORN. That does not mean you are being banned, it simply means that unless you can actually provide a coherent, fact-based argument (we’ll worry about proving it later) that what you say is even remotely true, then there is no reason to say it. But if you have something relevant about another topic on another thread about that topic, then you are free to post an intelligent comment there.

Dear former Republican House majority leader Dick Armey,
Who’s the paid political hack you sexist bigot?
.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:32 amJoan Walsh said she would respond on her blog. I imagine that when she does, you might be able to find it here:
http://www.salon.com/opinion/walsh/
Maybe she’s giving him some time to sober up, call her up, and apologize to her profusely. (Please be sober when you do it, Dick. There’s nothing worse than listening to a drunk say he’s sorry over the phone.)
January 29th, 2009 at 12:47 amWayne,
Of course he hae understands the innuendo, that’s the whole point, he knows exactly what he’s innuendating and that it has no basis in fact; however, ACOR screwed up, he’s playing on that failure.
ACORN screwed up and fueled GOP fodder. ACORN screwed up in a large way, it didn’t help its cause in any way. Obama would do well to back off support of ACORN. ACORN screwed itself.
We need similar organizations, we just don’t need ACORN. Like Gov I swear like a sell out who swears like a sailor and am unfit to govern, ACORN is tainted.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:49 amWith respect, Snobird, ACORN didn’t “screw up in a large way”. Some workers they hired to collect signatures submitted fraudulent registrations. As I am sure you are aware, when any organization conducts a voter registration drive, they are required to submit ALL registrations, even the ones they know to be fraudulent. (As you also know, I’m sure, this is to protect people from having their registrations thrown out by the people collecting them because they registered with the wrong party. It happens, and it’s illegal.) And since you know all of this, then you are probably also keen to the fact that ACORN even identified the fraudulent ballots when they turned them in, along with ones that they thought might be suspect. You also know that they are not required to do this, as it is up to Election officials to do any verifying that must be done. As for ACORN being “tainted” (we’re hearing that word a lot lately), the only ones who claim that are the right-wing liars who are distorting the truth.
There are already LOTS of organizations that help conduct voter registration drives, and that is simply one of many, many things that ACORN does. There also groups that try to register people into only one party, and they sometimes have a problem behaving legally.
Please stop believing the right-wing talking points. They are notoriously inaccurate.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:59 amTo correct, this won’t go over well, but belligerent Chicago politics don’t fly. Jesse Jackson may be disappointed that he won’t be the first black president, but get real, he would never garner enough white votes to win. He’s all about black power. Yeah, white folks are really going to vote for that.
Obama presents the rational voice of reason. He wasn’t a vote for black, white, women, men or any religious denomination, he was a vote for reason.
The economy is in shambles and Bush trashed the Constitution, Obama is a Constitutional Lawyer at the University of Chicago, the first black Chief Editor of the Harvard Law Review, Americans weren’t looking for a black or a white, but for the most competent person to do the job.
He beat Hillary Clinton, the first woman compenent to do the job. Many may argue, but in my opinion, the first woman competent to do the job, yellow, black or white.
Racists need to burn their pointy hats and understand that Obama is the best shot they have at getting a job, sendiing their kids to college and not dying of a treatable disease.
When your mom or child gets cancer because of that toxic waste dump in your back yard, you’ll be glad.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:00 amWayne A. Schneider Says:
So I will ask you, politely, to cease showing up here making odd comments about the president and ACORN.
That’s been their method from the beginning. Insinuate in passing, don’t back it up, and move on. Use “ACORN” as an epithet in the midst of a more substantive rant. Move on, hit and run, but also have thousands of people doing it all over the web at the same time, so it gains the appearance of a true thing, even though nothing at all has actually been said.
The reason that they can’t make an actual claim about what’s wrong with ACORN is that then that might be checked and invalidated. However, nobody fact-checks vague innuendo.
They’re also playing the “could be” game with this particular claim:
1. $X is allocated to some areas in which ACORN works
2. ACORN could win some bids to do some of that work
3. Therefore, $X is being allocated to ACORN! [1, 2, "could be"]
This “could be” method, by the way, was also used to argue that Saddam had WMD’s, based on entirely aluminum tubes and a burning desire in his coal-black heart.
It raises the question, why are they picking on ACORN at all? All ACORN does is help poor people defend their rights and register to vote. The only ones who would have a problem with that would be those who believe that poor people should have no rights and should not vote. This therefore is nothing less than overt class warfare, and it has been going on for a long time.

I disagree strongly with this characterization.
The main distinction between Jackson and Obama has been that Obama is basically letting whites off the hook for the past 400 years. Gave ‘em amnesty for racism, if you will, in exchange for their votes. That’s fine – in fact it’s brilliant – because it actually worked to leap race relations forward by a large margin, as nothing else has since ‘68. Jackson and other minority activists or his generation were more likely to require an accounting and admittance of all of the injustices of the past first. That’s where we’ve been stuck for the last few decades, and that’s the logjam that Obama broke.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:15 amWayne,
With all due respect, when an organization goes out so collect signatures, they are required by law and by public decency TO INSURE THAT THE INFORMATION THEY OBTAIN IS LAWFUL.
If you pay any street thug by the signature, what do you think that you are going to get?
If you have no measures in place to insure the accuracy of the information obtained, you guarantee its inaccuracy.
If you intend to hold public office, your duty is to ensure that fraud is not inherent in your process.

If you intend to hold public office, your duty is to ensure that fraud is not inherent in your process.
Lots and lots of organizations use paid volunteers to gather signatures, both on the Left and the Right. In fact, pretty much every signature gathering effort I’ve ever heard of does. Also, these are not “street thugs,” but that’s a very cute characterization.
The measures that they have in place to insure that the information is lawful is to look at the signatures that were gathered very carefully before turning them over. They don’t even have to do that, since it’s actually not their job to determine which are lawful and which are not.
If they took that job away from the election officials, then they could potentially rig the pool of registrations. Therefore, they are required by law not to throw out any fraudulent ones, but rather to turn in all of the ones that they collect, whether they think some are fraudulent or not. That is the law governing this, and it’s actually a good idea when you consider that some Republican voter registration drives in fact were throwing out likely Democratic voter cards, in violation of the law.
The way you’re looking at it, they’d have to guarantee that 100% of the signatures they got were lawful. What if someone signs illegally? What do they do then? Throw out all the cards they’ve collected? What exactly do you expect? I really don’t understand by what process you expect to guarantee 0% fraudulent signatures. So much so that if I were an election official and your organization handed me a list, I’d audit the hell out of it.

While I definitely appreciate the struggles and accomplishments of African Americans over the past years, I have to say, that as a white woman who has strongly advocated the cause of African Americans to suddenly become considered an adversary is offensive.
Do you honestly believe that the Civil Rights Movement and the election of a black President could have happened without the support with a great many, if not the majority of whites . . . you are so wrong . . . unlike you, many whites are truely color blind . . . we want what’s best for this country . . . that does not include feminists with a sexist agenda, or people of color with an agenda or white folks with an agenda.

America is not that kind of country. If you’ve got a valid visa, no one’s going to hassle you. Any one who tells you othewise is lying to you.
Americans are not asked to, much required to , tell on, inform on or otherwise rat on other people. That is un-Constitutional and against the law in America.

January 29th, 2009 at 8:38 amIt’s amazing that Armey tries to stress stepping away from juvenile delinquency and focussing on serious discussion, then snaps that sexist remark. And his snarky prattle under her talk doesn’t help.
LOOK. Republicans, Democrats, and pundits alike, STOP BEING SNARKY. Stop talking over people. Stop taunting policies. Stop being impolite and stubborn when the issues are being discussed. Start using some CLASS to cover politics.

January 29th, 2009 at 9:04 amLimbaugh is the best thing that ever happened to this country. Intelligent people hear his drivil and immediately change their allegance to the democratict party. He also helps create discust towards consevitives. lol
January 29th, 2009 at 9:30 amnaive and sheltered from reality I guess…..not the same country I live in at any rate.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:31 amsorry about the spelling in previous post. Haven’t had my coffe yet.

Armey is trying in vain to sell his attractiveness on MSNBC,playing the wanted and the desirable.
I wonder if he is related somehow to Joe The Plumber..

geezer that is (geezerly)
January 29th, 2009 at 9:40 amMSNBC needs to think about why it took two commercial breaks, and then the next guests’ opening comment about Armey’s behavior, before the host had anything to say about the despicable exchange. Chris Matthews has a reputation for letting sexist talk slide. His employers and their lawyers need to have a chat with Chris about that.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:49 amlooks like glezzery’s inane bullshit finally got him banned. Look for glezzery2 or some such. He won’t be hard to spot.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:57 amI hear he has resurfaced as LTDan (Lunatic Troll).
January 29th, 2009 at 10:17 amARMEY: I’m so damn glad that you can never be my wife
“Can never” seems a bit strong. Even if they both repulse each other, that’s not the same thing as an impossibility. Is Armey implying that he’s legally a woman?

ElBruce,
When you’ve got Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck signing hundreds of returns, you have a problem.
I don’t live in Disney Land.
A total of a few hundred across the entire country. That’s out of many millions collected. All were identified by ACORN as being likely fraudulent, so that the electoral board could invesitage and/or disqualify them. I repeat: ACORN identified all likely fraudulent registration cards they received. In fact, in every Republican investigation into the ones ACORN didn’t mark as likely fraudulent, they just ended up harrassing and intimidating a legitimate real voter.
I’d be more concerned with groups who claimed that 100% of the signatures their volunteers collected were legitimate, and not subject to error or individual perfidy. Wouldn’t you? I mean, that’s vastly statistically improbable.
It’s worth mentioning that there have also been zero people found to have turned up at the polls and actually voted using one of those registered identities. That would be the zero that’s shaped like a doughnut and which refers to a nullity.
.
SnoBird Says:
We’re both on the same side, but you guys are undermining our legitimacy. Stop the nonsense.
Nothing illegitimate occurred. The cons lied about everything to do with ACORN. Stop believing their outrageous claims.
You seem to be interested in progressive concerns and that’s nice, but this is like saying “I’m all for liberalism, but still a little concerned about Obama being a secret Muslim.”
.
republicans hate facts Says:
What a J*CK*SS LIE! They are REQUIRED BY LAW to REPORT ANYTHING THEY SUSPECT might be wrong, but they are also REQUIRED BY LAW TO FILE SUSPICIOUS REGISTRATIONS!
Actually, they’re not required to report suspicious registrations. They do so because they’re nice like that, and actually give a crap about doing democracy correctly. The reason that R’s have been able to pick on ACORN at all is because they do report their fraudulent registrations. With the other groups who don’t, there’s no data to base any such claims off of, because any fraud has been swept under the rug. When dealing with the GOP, no good deed goes unpunished.
However, it’s worth mentioning yet again that you are correct about how they are required by law to file 100% of the registrations they receive, even if they know for a fact that some are fake.

SnoBird Says:
No one is allowed to tell lies to help others break American law, but if you’re not breaking American laws, you are fine, no one can put you in jail for it.
Police, prosecutors and judges in America are black, brown, yellow and white, your color makes no difference. Do not get all crazy on me for stating the truths of our systems.
Are we going to have to get into it about the disproportional treatment of citizens by our criminal justice system based on race? Because I don’t know where you live, but it ain’t the America that most folks live, especially racial minorities. Especially when you get pulled over by the cops.

January 29th, 2009 at 11:27 amA scorpion is traveling cross country and encounters a body of water. There is a bullfrog there and the scorpion starts trying to
convince the bullfrog to give him a ride across the water.
The bullfrog says heck no, I know your kind, you will sting me.
The scorpion tries logic on the bullfrog saying “If I sting you then we will both surely die”
The bullfrog sees the logic and agrees. The scorpion jumps on and away they go across the water.
About half way across the scorpions eyes light up and he stings the bullfrog fatally.
The bullfrog, with his last breath says “Why, why did you do it, you have killed us both”
The scorpion says “because that’s just the kind of sob I am”
The scorpion is the republican. In this case, dicky army

January 29th, 2009 at 11:30 amIn 1998, during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, a reporter asked him what he would do if he were in President Bill Clinton’s position. He replied “If I were in the President’s place I would not have gotten a chance to resign. I would be lying in a pool of my own blood, hearing Mrs. Armey standing over me saying, ‘How do I reload this damn thing?’”
January 29th, 2009 at 11:34 amIn the episode of Family Guy where Peter becomes a cigarette lobbyist, he meets Dick Armey and makes fun of his name, asking if his wife’s name was “Vagina Coastguard.”
January 29th, 2009 at 11:51 amKeep the pressure on! Don’t let this Dick get away with sexism…don’t allow him to play the victim card when he will claim that he’s the victim of a vicious liberal smear campaign. They ALWAYS play that game, and it’s about time we not let him get away with it.
January 29th, 2009 at 3:35 pmMatthews cannot apologize for anyone else. Armey is what he is. A man with no class. He is after all a Republican. That means he is automatically sexist. Not to paint with too broad a brush. I have NEVER met a Republican man that did not want a woman at home, in bed or in the kitchen.
This kind of remark is the last resort of a man who cannot compete on an equal basis without falling back on that tired old rhetoric. This is because he is a tired old man. The thing speaks for itself.
January 29th, 2009 at 7:03 pmcurious,
Matthews doesn’t have to apologize for Dick Armey’s behavior, he has to apologize to his viewers for not more forcefully admonishing Armey when he said what he did. He tried to cut Armey off after letting Walsh have her say, and he let Armey make one more statement. I’m thinking Matthews looked at him and thought Armey would apologize, but he didn’t. He made one more pitch for his failed views.
Matthews should have immediately apologized to his viewers for having a rumored-to-be-drunken Armey on in the first place.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:58 pmrepublicans hate facts and bentley1, please have a heart and do not use my nick in context with that troll glezzery.
On another note when hacks like Armey are on television it exposes their disgusting traits and make the republican dinosaurs even more hated than they are now. In their case familiarity breeds contempt.
In the exchange Walsh won on several levels, in her lucid arguments, and in the contrast between the two in basic civility, humanity, common sense and common courtesy. Nothing better to get rid of cockroaches than to pin them in a spotlight and watch them scramble around while you get the sprayer.
Class act DICK! keep up the good work…..
January 30th, 2009 at 8:06 amThis is the blah blah blah of politics. No one will address the fact that now the mind set of so many civilians is “my goverment will take care of me”,,,no matter what. The world is now in a full scale crisis, because of this attitude. Limbaugh might be a blow-hard, but what he is really trying to tell the world is,,,quit depending on the goverment to be your daddy or big brother and figure it out. The U.S. has been the care-giver in the last 75 years to other countries and has been justified in terrible offenses to these countries. Everyone has blood on there hands.
January 30th, 2009 at 1:30 pmThose of us that work hard, pay our taxes, abide to laws and have pride in our work ethics our tired of hearing what the gov. is NOT doing for us. Polictics IS just stupid philosophy and should be ignored. I’m tired of both extreme sides trying to tell us how to live.

From your post I can tell education including spelling was not high on your priorities. “Blah Blah Blah of politics”? Evidently it is something too complex for you to understand. You show us you do not have the intellectual frisson to connect the dots, so you dismiss it as stupid. I guess simple answers for simple minds must be your speed.
I have always worked hard, paid my taxes, etc, but please do not add me to your mythical ranks of self reliant ditto heads tho you see as making it on your own, how do you get to work? Do you get there on roads you built yourself?
The world is in this mess because right wingers and their voodoo economics have caused the crisis. Yes the last eight years there was rampant welfare, but it was extended to the top 1% of the population of the United States and their corporations. Phil Graham’s policy mirrored the same talking points the people who caused the Hoover economic melt down. It’s called history and you will find it in a book. You should have at least read it in public school, or did you educate yourself single-handed as well?
January 30th, 2009 at 9:52 pmguess i deserve that for trying to zip something out in such a hurry:)
January 31st, 2009 at 2:30 pmi guess what i’m trying to say is that we have all forgoten that we are ALL Americans. i don’t know when it happened or changed,either during bush or clinton…..nixon?,,,,but we forgot that we are all fighting for the same cause. yes, the top 1% have manipulated some horrific crimes.and they should be crucified.
but then look at how much of our taxes go torward welfare, medicare, etc…
when we allow a 32 yr. old lady to have eight more children, via fertile intro….and already have six at home, no husband, living with mom and daddy….it’s a crime that makes me shake my head. and the “educated”—”doctors” say there should be some “concerns”….give me a break. it’s the rich wanting more money,,,AMA,doctors…etc. it’s all a vicious cirlce of greed,,and creating havoc for hard working Americans.
but then that’s my humble opinion…..
nice
