"If they can't manage balloons falling..."

[Ilsa]

"how do they think they can manage the country?"

I have actually read this from a freetard.

1. the people letting the balloons go were probably so

blown away by the speech that they forgot what they were doing.

[CaTeacher]

10. little glitches happen

when you plan and coordinate a huge event. If it hadn't of been pointed out (so rudely), I would have assumed that they delayed the balloons for effect. I wouldn't have even known it was a glitch if people hadn't of made a big deal out of it. (There were too many good things to concentrate on in my opinion.)

22. the only thing I've heard about the balloons

was here on DU. I watched on CSPAN.

However, I would vote for the balloons themselves before I would vote for the Chimp.

[Fovea]

2. In Bush's America

Not even gravity works right.

[DenverDem]

3. The balloon release was NUANCED.

Any moran can dump them all at one time.

[apnu]

16. LOL good one! n/t

[Bluebear]

23. It was a controlled balloon drop.

We don't drop everything at once, we have more self-control.

[Beaverhausen]

4. Ok I missed something- what was wrong with the balloon drop?

I just assumed they wanted to draw it out and not do it all at once.

[Longhorn]

9. I thought so, too. I thought it was cool! It made it last longer!

And built suspense! :bounce:

19. That's what I originally thought, too.

I didn't know there was a problem until I heard about the CNN "controversy" afterwords (we watched on CSPAN).

[POed_Ex_Repub]

5. uhmm.. is the Balloon tech guy running for president?

Oh wait, they have nothing when it comes to ideas or policy.. nevermind.

[chiburb]

6. They're right!

This misadministration has been GREAT at dropping the ball..oons.

[BayouBengal07]

7. If Bush

can't stand up straight on a Segway, how can we expect him to run a country?

This actually reminds me of a great quote on pnac.info about Neoconservatives:

"How, they wonder, did so many conservatives, who normally don't trust their government to run a public school down the street, come to believe that federal bureaucrats could transform an entire nation in the alien culture of the Middle East?"

[hatrack]

8. More world-class analogy construction from the knuckle-draggers

Pathetic piles of dung, every smelly one.

[Sparkly]

11. If they can't eat pretzels, ride bicycles, read memos, add and subtract,

carry dogs, exit Marine One, tell the truth, pronounce "nuclear," read adult-level books, or remember common sayings like "fool me once," how do they think they can manage the country?

[physioex]

17. You forgot Abuuu.....Gaaarifffff......

:smoke:

[name not needed]

12. We concentrate more on the Candiates than the balloons

The repubs, however, have it in reverse.

[belle]

13. Someone needs to stop huffing the helium

[devilgrrl]

14. Did I ever call this one...

[soupkitchen]

15. Yeah, Republicans are good at dropping lead balloons

[Aftershock]

18. Some idiot actually said that?

What does balloons falling have to do with running a country?

[cheezus]

20. botched ballons vs botched war

hell, let's just make this the ONE and ONLY factor for the voters this year. let them decide.

[Carni]

21. Did anyone notice Woodruff and Wolfie

Knee deep in balloons looking really pissy, demeaned and ridiculous last night?

LOL!

I think they may have dumped extra balloons where the media whores were located--I think they managed the balloon drop in just the right way! I loved it!

[DrWeird]

24. I can't remember the last time all the balloons fell at once.

Every time I've watched it starts with a slow trickle of balloons which crescendos into a big release after several minutes. Which is exactly what happened. And I'm betting that's exactly how it was planned.

[skygazer]

25. Let me get this straight

They've built up the largest deficit in history

They've alienated our international allies

They've gotten us embroiled in a war with a nation that posed no threat to us

There are millions of Americans without jobs or health insurance

They are raping our environment

and they're talking about BALLOONS!!!!


Pathetic.............

[Hobarticus]

26. "If they can't manage occupying a third-rate military power..."

[Canuckistanian]

27. Like I'm sure the balloon guy will be given a cabinet post

Let's see Rummy manage a simple balloon drop without hiring an private security firm.

[CO Liberal]

28. And If THEY Can't Manage Four Jetliners.....

... how do they think THEY can manage the country?

:kick:

[Bluebear]

29. Ouch! Good on you!
