Game over, Warrenistas!

Your Massachusetts hero had a meeting with Our Next President™. Can there be any explanation other than Warren swearing a blood oath to Team Hillary?

No! No other possible explanation! OK, some other explanations sound reasonable on their face, but for technical reasons that you Lumpenproletariat wouldn't understand, anyone who meets with Hillary must have sworn to support her. No, Hillary didn't do it to shut you Firebaggers up, that's a really hurtful thing to suggest.

Looks like even that difficult woman from Massachusetts realized that there is not a sliver of daylight between her own views and those of Hillary 6.0, and she didn't want to be Left Behind by the Hillary Zeppelin as it leaves its mooring mast at Lakehurst NJ. (Left Behind! See how I was able to slip in a Rapture reference to attract our friends in the Faith-Based Community? That's why they pay me the big bucks, of course.)

So now that Warren has secretly sworn loyalty The Next One, how about you moonbats doing the same? We totally promise to totally respect your opinions, and we'll fight for income equality and all the other crap that you people like.

Regards,

Third-Way Manny

I know the party machinery has their horse picked out and will make sure that horse wins. It's one thing to try to convince voters, it is quite another to fight your own party. They already have poison darts ready for any opposition. They don't give a fuck what you or I or any voter wants because we can't have any pudding until we eat our meat.

Another reason they pay me the big bucks.

As I explained in my post, it's something that Lumpenproletarians such as yourself wouldn't be able to understand. It would be like explaining abstinence to a bonobo chimp, or quantum tunneling to a tractor, or inheritance to anyone that doesn't stand to inherit lots of money. It's just the natural order of things, like the tides, like gazelles being savagely taken down and eaten by cheetahs, like the 99% being savagely taken down and eaten by bankers.

I know you have that meeting with senator Warren next week, mind asking her if I can have my copy of 'War and Peace' back when you see her? It's the only version I have in hardback.

I'm in a public place and everyone's looking at me and wondering what the @#$% is so funny.

I'M A SPECTACLE BECAUSE OF YOU!

Just yell real loud at no one in particular, "GET A JOB!" That should remind them of their place at the table. I hope you are not stuck taking...shudder...public transportation!

Did your limo driver call in sick again? Manny, just fire the guy already.

Make sure you don't touch anything or sit down anywhere. I can just see those, those...common germs getting all over you Manny! Oh how droll, I will dispatch a Leer Jet to pick you up and a limo to the prison. Just let the captain know where you want to go. Drinks are in the min bar.

I'll give a proper scolding to the hoodlums that arrested you, maybe not support the union as much as last year. You know how it goes in these 'tough times' wink wink.

But why does he chuckle when I ask him to confirm that it's going to the airport? Maybe the rush-hour traffic?

Can you have the jet go to Hanscom instead of Logan so I don't have to deal with rush hour? And WHERE THE €£¥₩ ARE MY DORITOS?

I am NOT happy right now.

106. Bad news, the guy that was supposed to deliver the Doritos picked up ranch instead of nacho

cheese. I've told him a hundred times nobody eats ranch! Don't mind Charlie (he is a wee bit high right now) the giggling should die down as the highball wears off. Maybe offer him a Gin and Tonic, but don't ask him about the eye patch. He is still very sensitive about it and I offered to buy him another eyeball!

Sheesh...impossible to get good help these days! How you manage to live around those commoners, is beyond me. Frankly I have allergic fits around people that make less than 100k a year. I am afraid I will become poor...oh how droll!

No gin and tonic, duh. If it'll help your man out I still have some amyl nitrate poppers that the cops didn't find, they're in my "special place".

As to my social intercourse amongst the proles, I understand your disgust and confusion. But my performance of interpretive dance on public transit not only lightens the load of these wretches, it is also wonderfully freeing for me. Truly, a win-win, particularly when deodorant is correctly applied.

You did tell the jet to go to Hanscom, yes?

Learn some interpretive dance moves and keep your back up against the wall at all times. Did a stint in Sing Sing for smuggling canaries across the border in my trousers when I was young and brave. Ah Canada and their strange customs!

Also, just a quick question, who is on the plane with my pilot? He said they picked up a gentleman from processing that swore he was Manny Goldstein.

Wed Feb 18, 2015, 12:39 PM
Feb 2015

Rather, obvious don't you think?

HRC picks Warren for Veep solves quite a number of problems for HRC.

Placates the Left, (read : shut up and fall in line)

Not only silences Warren on the Senate floor, it removes her from any effective push back we have in the Senate apart from Bernie Sanders, who is also going to be a bit compromised by virtue of his presidential campaign. I know it doesn't mean that he must resign from the Senate, but it does have the muffling effect to some degree none the less just by the nature of political campaigns in this country.

No, Sanders and Warren might make a great union, but HRC and Warren? Hell No.

Nice to have a laugh when I read elsewhere that Warren supporters hate Hillary (no, her policies), and that Warren supporters are convinced the ladies hate each other (um, never occurred to me).
Also, Warren supporters' heads will explode, or something. Such lot of over the top bloviation! And violent! Dear me!

Not much of a SECRET meeting, IMO.

To put this schtick on the same par as Colbert, (or in the same sentence for that matter) now that's just bizarre.

If you think otherwise, I would question your "sense of humor."

NO, I will go one better. I will alert the "powers that be" , those that matter, to your grave transgression. Then we'll see who can just throw something so hurtful as this out there.



to wit,


you blatantly - and with malice aforethought - assert that



Warren has secretly sworn loyalty The Next One,






it is obvious to anyone with at least two brain cells to rub together



that



you are missing a fucking preposition! to wit:


sworn loyalty [font size = 3]to [[/font size = 3]The Next One

And that's especially true of the US election process. We haven't even started primaries yet.

Anything can happen, and probably will.


PS:

Elizabeth Warren wouldn't do any such thing to or for anybody. If she did, she would be unfit for office of any kind.

Wed Feb 18, 2015, 02:07 PM
Feb 2015

Could is possibly be that Elizabeth Warren thinks the reasonable and best thing to do will be to actually HELP Hillary in her bid for the white house? Maybe Elizabeth understands that Hillary is simply the "next in line" with Hillary having paid her dues via more years in politics than Elizabeth has.

Could it be possible that Hillary thinks that having Elizabeth on her team might be the reasonable and best thing to do to actually HELP Hillary in her bid for the white house? Maybe Hillary understands that Elizabeth, though not quite as seasoned in politics as Hillary, still commands much respect and power, and having that on your team might actually be a good thing?

I want these women to work together in 2016. I believe they are both smart enough to understand that working together will be better for everyone. And I, personally, think THAT is what the meeting was about. If the two of them team up, it will be hard pressed for anyone to defeat them. Add Bernie is some form, and you have a trifecta IMHO.
