Duffman

Well, may be Goldie can ask what AG McKenna makes of TIME's apparent latest poll numbers showing the Republicans winning in '08? I realize it's early, but this is a bit scary. Repubs have yet to start spending their huge cach of $cash? [Course, Dems haven't really begun yet either]. I was surprised; thought poll numbers would show different.

joanie

Publicans don't need facts or proof. Just that old tried and true "gut instinct."

Isn't that what Bush relied on to get us into Iraq?

What a mess these people make.

Fremont

I've been reading BW since its Caesarean birth, and I've FINALLY found a reason to tune in KIRO during the week...Hey, Duf, it would be really helpful if you's cite or link your sources...(Duh!)

mercifurious

Hey, Duf, it would be really helpful if you's cite or link your sources...(Duh!)

For Duffy to do this he'd have to split his gut open. Hope springs eternal, Fremont.

Duffman

All Right!

mercifurious

He's filling in for Frank Shiers for the rest of this week (KIRO 9p-1a).

Thank Cthulhu (PBOH) for that!
Now if only Shudder Shiers could take a permanent vacation

mercifurious

Glad to see you will honor our Seppuku request. Thanks Bluffman

So any "Bandwagons" or "standard bearers" for us to follow today, Duffman? Or have you given up the National Socialist GOP Schill routine?

Duffman

http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1604469,00.html?cnn=yes
Sorry Fremont...here you go.

merci: All Right!

Duffman

..rally round little minions, mommy is speaking.

mercifurious

Duffman seems to be combining equal parts broken record player & bratty child tossing the lost checkers table.

No facts. No info. No sources. Just his guts & ignorant dottardness

JDB

So, does anyone think that the minnow or any of his loony lackeys over at Un(sp) will overcome their revulsion of Goldy and call in and demand McKenna explain why he hasn't arrested all of King County for voter fraud? That would be compelling radio.

Duffman

Shouldn't you be working on that home work assignment given to you by Steve?

mercifurious

From Duffy's Source:
In our poll, Hillary Clinton loses to John McCain, 42-48%, and to Rudy Giuliani 41-50%. Even though Clinton maintains a 7% edge over Obama among Democratic respondents, Obama fares better in the general election match-ups. It's so close that it's a statistical dead-heat, but Obama still loses: 43-45% to McCain, 44-45% to Giuliani.

Velly Intellesting.

So in other words, this supposed "standard bearer" and "bandwagon" that loyal left-leaning Duffman wants us to follow, is doing worse than other DEM hopefulls.

Is this a learning/reading disability of yours, Duffy? Seriously. Sometimes it seems like you just read the headline and post things.

Another trademark of your collegiate training, I'm sure

cowpotpi3

That poll is about as useful as tits on a bull. Haven't you seen these kind of pre-speculative polls before? Heck if we believed these things Clinton never would have been elected, Bush would have lost the first time among many other examples. Also notice there was no published method for the poll so clearly Time (and anyone who is thinking) doesn't put stock in it.

Of course, what does any of that tripe have to do with McKenna and the Atty. General scandal? Zippo of course. Why bring this up here Duff?

Duffman

..so you'd bite; and you did...just like a good little lemming...making mamma proud!

cowpotpi3

So I'd bite? If you define 'bite' as explain to you why I think that poll is bunk to whit you have no response because you know it's obviously true, then OK you win.

Care to debate the issue or are you just proving everyone correct that's calling you a shill?

Duffman

CP3: I just threw it out because it surprised me, that's all. I would have guessed otherwise. I certainly realize that polls (especially at this time) are irrelevent. Thank you for the explanation; it's always refreshing to learn from somebody so 'in the know'. Call me what you will...Mrs Clinton still gets my vote [and my guess is also the vote of all the lemmings on this board].

marty

Mckenna is no Republican. He fought the plank against "anchor babies" in the party platform last year. I found that unconscionable for an attorney general. I wish these libs would all join the Democrat party and so Republicans could give the people of Washington a real choice.

fred

Republicans want to use babies as anchors?? Good God, it's worse than I thought!

Duffman

Ha fred:
..that's the fear here..first babies...then minions...then 'God forbid'...even lemmings

cowpotpi3

Marty, it is called the Democratic Party, please get it right.

What is more unconscionable for an Attorney General: having a political opinion on a platform that doesn't jive with yours or an attorney general who lies and obstructs justice for purely political ends. One of these positions is patriotic and 100% defensible. The other is illegal and immoral. Being a "Republican" who believes in law and order and morality, surely you support McKenna and would like to see Gonzo behind bars? Thanks in advance for the hypocrisy.

Tommy008

Just in-Rush "Tantrum" Limbaugh "turns over the chess table", Resorts to Ad Hominems over Attorneygate Poll(T-8 News Service). Faced with an inconvenient, pesky truth, increasingly ideologically irrelevant talkhost Rush Limbaugh once again reduced himself to a childish, schoolyard level as he resorted to an ad hominem attack on the American public for their vote in a respected nationwide poll. The poll revealed that 71% of Americans think that the U.S. Attorney firings were inappropriate. "Blithering idiots!", he shouted in outrage and contempt."They're just blithering idiots," he harrumphed, and reached for a big fat cigar to suck on, as a pacifier.

Duffman

Just as aside T8, you have a real talent for instilling a very vivid image in one's mind by the way you describe things...very good!

mercifurious

sniff sniff. You can just smell the freeper fighting it's way free in this post:

Mrs Clinton still gets my vote [and my guess is also the vote of all the lemmings on this board].

Quite a glowing endorsement there, Duffbrain. I'm sure she'll be using this as her slogan. So wait, does this make you the "head lemming" for the left-leaning bandwagon standard-bearer. And to think we thought you were a national socialist GOP Schill.

Translated out of Duffspeak:
Excssssssselent. My brilliant strategy is in place: You lemmings all vote for Hitlary, but then I'll flank them by voting for Gang-Gingrich & our lemmings will reign eternal! Bwahahahahahah

coiler

I'm glad that McKenna is cool with the 2004 election too. Reed and others were not swayed by the crazies in the GOP. This shows how their party has been hijacked by the insane Neo-Feudalists.

mercifurious

More Duff gut-speak:
I just threw it out because it surprised me, that's all. I would have guessed otherwise. I certainly realize that polls (especially at this time) are irrelevent.

No. You threw it out there because you saw a headline but neglected to read it (surprise surprise).

We had to sit you down for storytime and read it for you - thus dragging you into the sunlight of reality: that a significant portion of it was "irrelevent".

Tommy008

thanks Duffman.

lukobe

If the Dems win, will merci and joanie post less? That'd be a good reason to vote for 'em :)

Pilgrim

Marty says,

" I wish these libs would all join the Democrat party and so Republicans could give the people of Washington a real choice. "

You mean like Ellen Craswell or John Carlson?

sparky

dont forget Linda Smith or Pam Roach....

Duffman

Was just listening to Dave Ross (& I happen to value his opinion), while jogging and he sounds like he too might be leaning toward Mrs Clinton. His concern with Obama is that he "may be" (he's not decided yet) incorporating religion into his camgaign too much?

merci: All Right!

coiler

Ted Bundy was, as well. Worked for Dan "Psycho" Evans

Duffman

"Where is D&D anyway, I tasked him 4 days ago to find a Global Warming citation without a dis-claimer and still nothing. Maybe his Scooter broke down. No, he probably went to audition for the part of Eddie Van Halen so the tour can go on. What a trooper."

-how's that homework coming along

sparky

coiler, Jim Webb!

coiler

You mean Jack?

fred

no, Jim West...got my Wests and Webbs mixed up!

Jim West, late Republican mayor of Spokane...

sparky

uh...thank you fred....you're right. West, not Webb.

Jim Webb is one of the good guys.

Duffman

..that's revealingly funny...

coiler

Uh yes, James West. He thought he was going to beat the rap.

sparky

speaking of "Webb"..a birdie told me that Mike Webb is attempting to send out emails to the Bla'M Fam individually....

Silly Rabbit...he really thinks these emails are real?

Duffman

good attempt at cover...

coiler

That's ok duffy, we still see you...you can go back to the courthouse bench.

sparky

from Kos:
During today's press briefing, the White House trotted out another justification for Bush's promised veto of the just passed supplemental spending bill, saying of the Democratic plan:

"...their proposal is well outside of the mainstream."

Whose mainstream? Is that any thing like Karl Rove's math? Because in reality, the mainstream is diametrically opposed to this administration's open-ended committment in Iraq. With this threatened veto and the Republican promise to back it up, the administration and the GOP are once again ignoring what the American people want.

Last I heard, it was 70% of the American people who want us out of Iraq now.

Duffman

Thank you so much...
To quote your esteemed leader: "Velly Intellesting."
Just keep learning from you'all...

sparky

Michael "The Wiener" Savage said on his radio show yesterday that the shootings at Columbine High School were a result of the area having the highest incidences of sex change operations.
I'm thinkin' that Marty is right...people who dont want to be mistaken for Republicans should act quickly.

coiler

It is up there at 70%, Bush should leave now to save the party but like most insane dry drunks, he has to take everyone with him. I have him up there with Dr Strangelove, ya know?

Duffman

...and well you know what 'fred' said about anchor babies...yep, calls for quick action

Duffman

Didn't you omit something this time? Shouldn't it have been:

"That's ok duffy, we still see you...you can go back to the courthouse bench old lady."

FREMONT

Thanks for the proper citation, Duf...while awaiting your learning to curve, I found this Time poll that has different results...how very strange...
..."Only the names are changed to protect the innocent"... --Jack Webb, My Hero

FREMONT

MF, translate puh-leeze...PBOH. Tnx.
