Cackle journalism isn't just for Clinton now.
Not only that, he patted her ass right before that. Sexist.
Do the replay. I notice these things. I'm a keen observer.
What about this? Free Obama signs for trading in your Hillary sign: http://www.buildasign.com/p/Obama-Step2-Option1
Can we take five months of this?
Do we have a choice?
I hope what Obama actually said is that there is an irreverence about Michelle, which would make sense, unlike what was printed in the Daily News. Stupid rag.
I hope it's a lot more than five months.
Ha ha, I'm not surprised this is going the rounds; when I heard it mentioned on NPR (probably), I said to myself, I said, "They fist-bumped? No way!"
Ahem. But anyway, the second link is hysterical:
HILL: Will we have more of this nonverbal communication?
Oh my. It is a scary 'nother world, this nonverbal communication.
The terrorist reference, just .. no comment.
Estragon: I can't go on like this.Vladimir: That's what you think.
I do believe in the terrorist reference. If there's one thing radical Islamic terrorists are known for, it's their public chumminess with women.
There is no God but God, and Mohammed fist-bumps.
The terrorists have been infiltrating for some time, and are attempting to adopt the outer appearance of 'normal' Americans, because they're WILY. But they screw up and use seekrit signals after all.
So did Michelle get a beer bong, or are they judging a wet t-shirt contest?
a very cool jest and so spontaneous, cute
strange, that people are complaining
This reminds me of the Simpsons parody of Fox News.
Someone tell me this can't possibly be effective, and they're just making themselves look stupid? Please?
I love 16. That's exactly the sort of thing I've missed most since I've stopped watching so much Fox News.
The sad thing is that the show in 16 isn't Fox. Beck's on Headline News. So the joke's on...us.
Oh, well, I missed that. The truth is I don't really watch any television news much anymore. But regardless, I'm glad to see that someone besides Fox is learning to put on an entertaining newscast.
17: They're making themselves look stupid to everyone under 40, at least.
21: Well, to liberals under 40, at the very least.
17: I'd love to. But not yet. I expect that various media outlets will slaughter the whole thing for the absurdity that it is. Whether Hill will be called to account for it is another question. (I'm not sure she can be; don't know whether the Fox show she's on purports to be a news program, or a talking head show, or what.)
It was totally their signal to start building the reparations camps and replace the secret service with the Fruit of Islam.
Duh.
If they were really terrorists, they would have followed it up with the explodey noise.
So was it a terrorist fist bump or not ogged? You should know.
You have to pay attention to the whole sequence. Hug-bump-ass pat = burgers for dinner. Hug-bump-shoulder touch = Operation Whitey Has Got To Go is a go.
Is the Fruit of Islam related to Fruit of The Loom?
Fruit of the Isloom?
"I know they want me dead, but they make such wonderful undershirts."
What are the odds rap lyrics somehow become an issue between now and November?
29: The scarf thingy Rachael Ray wore in that commerical had to come from somewhere. Fruit of Isloom, for the discerning jihadi who desires comfort.
31: Haven't people already whined about Obama using Jay-Z tracks before his speeches?
The thing that fascinates me about Obama is that he keeps sending cultural signals that I think are politically insane, and it keeps working.
My much-more-hip wife explained the shoulder-brush thing to me, and once she did, I thought Obama was nuts. A black man running for president deliberately invoking a rapper ? You gotta be fucking kidding me.
But it works. Granted, some of the senior citizens are going to look at this stuff and see a terrorist or a black nationalist or whatever. Other, more tolerant old folks might look at that nice, well-spoken black man and see Sidney Poitier.
Me, I'm no less a product of my race, gender, culture and upbringing - but I look at this physically confident man with his witty gestures, and I see Fred Astaire. Seriously.
It's time for people like me to be put out to pasture. If I were an Obama political advisor and he told me that he was going to allow himself to be videotaped playing basketball, I would have gone berserk. But it works.
35: Dog whistles, like Bush dropping obscure hymn lyrics into speeches.
That's just it. You are. He is really, really good at it.
38 makes me so happy, on so many levels. I don't really think the majority of people realize how cool that is, how talented he (and his whole campaign) even if they sort of do realize.
So, so sharp. I think I've told the story, but I saw him speak at the convention in '04, and after his speech I sort of sat back, shocked, and thought "that's the President." Totally pre-rational. I saw him outside the Garden later, and thought to go say something, but he was already surrounded by admirers, blowing past like I celebrity. I met Mandela once; same deal.

When are the lurid fantasies about gay sex with Obama going to start?
41: The fascist cult members are way ahead of you.
The true casualty of the divisive primary is that the beautiful dream that Hilary Clinton would revenge herself upon her husband by having a fling with Obama have been dashed. Maybe if he picks her for VP...

Clearly written by someone who doesn't browse Usenet.
44: Does Usenet still exist?
Reading about this made me want to bump my fist into some Fox News faces.
45 to 44, obviously, but also 44 to 45.
My dear von Bisquick, there are even still Gopher sites and VAX systems out there. The Internet is truly forever.
something wrong with my browser
there are always two comments windows opening with some time lag inbetween or maybe it's me clicking it twice inpatiently
i wish the unfogged comments' window had back button, when i click on the links people post, always have to open the comments again and go back to find the comment to continue to read
a bit inconvenient

(jumping in)
You should be able to right-click on the link and "open in new window" (or "new tab") and then close that window when you're done and be back on the comments page.
thank you, Nick S! it never occured to me to do that
how useful, should ask more about things bugging me to get more helpful advices
new usage of Unfogged! great!
35: A black man running for president deliberately invoking a rapper ?
Do you think it's calculated, or just fearless?
Fearlessly calculated!
Or calculatedly fearless?
Nice piece by Weigel on Larry Johnson and the "Whitey" tape. It's going to get uglier than I realized, with a fair bit of flack coming from purported friendlies.
