bushbot co-worker

[joneschick]

brought in a decorated cake "36 years Chappaquidik" She sez someone has to remember. Didn't the girl's family forgive Kennedy years ago?

[BeeBee]

1. That's just sick. n/t

[Snotcicles]

54. That is pathetic is that all she has, the poor thing.

How desperate she must be to do something that stupid and childish.

[skooooo]

2. I'd complain to administration...

that's just ridiculous and provocative.

[Mr_Spock]

3. Her poor car parked so innocently in the parkling lot.

It's a damned shame :D

[youspeakmylanguage]

51. That's wrong and illegal...

"Her poor car parked so innocently in the parkling lot...It's a damned shame :D"

It doesn't matter what the person does. Implying that someone's car should be vandalized based on a crass political stunt is a sh*tty and illegal thing to do.

[Mr_Spock]

60. You are absolutely correct.

And I would never imply that anyone should do such a crass and illegal action

[shoelace414]

4. 1 death 36 years ago vs 1700 and rising today?

[kliljedahl]

5. & mis-spelled Chappaquiddick to boot

Keith’s Barbeque Central

[joneschick]

7. misspelling is mine when I got back to my cube. eom

[warrens]

6. Bring in your own cake

100,000 dead in Iraq...and counting

[babylonsister]

19. Now that's a great idea! nt

[CatWoman]

32. even better idea

and a "tit for tat" as well.

bring in a cake marking the anniversary of Laura Bush killing her boyfriend.

[XemaSab]

37. good call

:evilgrin:

[SammyWinstonJack]

41. That's a good one

:yoiks:

[fob]

88. Yes have a car next to a stop sign on a broken pole with a

few bodies strewn about.

Someone's gotta remember, right?

Also write on it:

Laura - DUI
Boyfriend - DOA

[Modem Butterfly]

8. That's just offensive

[sniffa]

9. wreck the cake

at Least wipe that shit off.

[skooooo]

12. i would..even if it turned into a food fight!

[Crankie Avalon]

10. How many years has it been...

...since Laura Bush ran over her old boyfriend? Since Poppy Bush bailed on his crew and left them to their deaths?

[earth mom]

15. You said it....

of course, the *es don't commit crimes do they? :sarcasm:

[brainshrub]

11. She brought this to work?

Weird. I don't think that's very appropriate.

[sakabatou]

13. I'm too young to get it

[YOY]

17. Ted Kenedy Scandal years ago

The girl died in a boating accident. It was just a nasty situation.

Of course, the RW took it as a perfect moment to slam his good name.

Why do you think Ted never followed in the footsteps of his brother John? This sad story is the answer.

[NYCGirl]

18. It wasn't a boating accident...

They were in a car. Kennedy accidentally drove off a pier in the dark.

[YOY]

My bad...it has been some time.

[sakabatou]

28. Anyway...

It was really sick what that asshat of a co-worker did.

[MadisonProgressive]

24. Luckily they were able to rescue him

The woman was not so lucky - her nose didn't act like a red beacon.

Edit to make sure people know I was joking.

[Bunny]

43. Wow. That's hilarious.

Not. :eyes:

[MadisonProgressive]

49. You're not too funny yourself...

[Bunny]

66. I wasn't attempting to be.

You, unfortunately were. Apparently.

[MadisonProgressive]

75. Get off your high horse.

I happen to love TK and greatly respect him. I was just mocking the freeper line that I hear everytime his name is brought up. If you don't care for it, that's your problem.

[Bunny]

77. Well, you failed to indicate that you were mocking the freepers.

You merely indicated that YOU were joking. If I'm not a mind reader, that's your problem. You wrote it, you own it.

[MadisonProgressive]

84. Are you the official joke police around here?

[Bunny]

85. I call bullshit when I see it. If that makes me the "joke police",

I'm cool with that.

[MadisonProgressive]

86. Well you're wrong about the bullshit. What's your badge number?

[Bunny]

87. Heh. Now, bullshit is all relative, isn't it?

On that note, I'm done with this - it's become quite insipid, and no longer worth the energy. You have a nice day now! :hi:

[MadisonProgressive]

91. Yes it has. You have a great day!

:pals:

[NoPasaran]

50. Not a pier

A wooden bridge.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

67. not a wooden bridge

a metal bridge.

just kidding.:spank:

[mikehiggins]

31. Whoa, Nelly, what are YOU talking about?

It was a car accident in which Teddy drove into a body of water. He saved himself but the girl with him was left in the car and drowned. The rap on Teddy was that he lawyered up right away, even before he reported the accident. Also that he might have been drunk at the time of the accident.

And, yeah, that's probably why he never seriously considered a White House run.

Well, that and the drinking.

You can see how much the GOPghouls love to talk about it when some asshole goes to the trouble of holding an Anniversary party to commemorate the death of a young girl because it hurt a politician the asshole doesn't like.

On the other hand, we gain nothing by glossing over the faults of our leaders.

[Carni]

35. As far as I am concerned the girl could have been an operative

OR someone else there that night could have been one and Ted K could have had something slipped into his drink.

Sounds crazy? No crazier than the fact that two of his brothers met untimely endings or that Operation Northwoods was proposed by members of our own government.

Remember too Ted Kennedy's plane crash--it's a wonder they didn't succeed in killing him as well.

Kennedy *curse* my ass - I think I would have demonstrated what she could do with her cake.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

45. I think he did run once.

Challenged Carter for nomination in '80, didn't he?

[YOY]

46. I already said "my bad"

It isn't exactly fresh in my mind.

Love the Chtulu Av.

[Im_Your_Huckleberry]

61. actually he did run

in the primary against carter, and as i recall, fairly effectively split the party.

[FreedomAngel82]

95. I wonder

about the girl Bush dated before he "met" Laura that got pregnant and his family set it up for her to have an abortion (illegally by the way) and she started talking in 2002 and she was found dead. Hmmmm.

[Fiona]

99. Kennedy made a very serious

White House run in 1980.

[Dora]

90. from Wikipedia: Chappaquiddick & Senator Kennedy

(and I was two weeks old when this happened!)

Chappaquiddick

During a party on Chappaquiddick Island on July 18, 1969, Senator Kennedy drove his 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 off Dike Bridge (also spelled Dyke Bridge), a wooden bridge that is angled obliquely to an unlit road onto which he claimed to have made a wrong turn. The car plunged into tide-swept Poucha Pond (at that location a channel) and landed upside down under the water. There is speculation about whether Mary Jo Kopechne drowned or suffocated. Kennedy returned on foot to the Lawrence Cottage where a party was in progress. Two other men, his cousin Joseph Gargan and party co-host Paul Markham then assisted him in trying to reach rescue Kopechne. All involved failed to use the telephone at the Lawrence Cottage to call the police for help. Kennedy discussed the accident with several people, including his lawyer, before he was contacted by the police. The next morning July 19, 1969 Police Chief Dominick Arena called the Senator from the closest house to the Dike Bridge rented at the time by the Malms. Senator Kennedy was given the news that his mother's car had been involved in a fatal accident. Kennedy had never reported the accident, a science teacher and 15 year old boy fishing discovered Kennedy's car the morning where the incident occurred. Kopechne's body was discovered by diver John Farrar. John Farrar observed that a large amout of air was released from the car when it was righted in the water, he also noted that the trunk when opened was remarkably dry. These observations and others lead many to believe that Mary Jo Kopechne had not drowned but suffocated in an air pocket within the Delmont 88. The diver John Farrar has stated that he was on call and available at the time of the accident.

The incident quickly blossomed into a scandal. Kennedy was criticized for failing to come to Kopechne's aid, for failing to summon help, for contacting not the police but his lawyer first, and for not reporting the accident to authorities. Due to a lack of evidence other than Kennedy's own word, allegations persist that he was drunk, that he did not try to save Kopechne, and that he intentionally turned onto the road crossing the bridge going to the beach in order to have sex with her. Mary Jo Kopechne and the other "boiler room" girls had been at that beach on the other side of the Dike Bridge earlier in the day.

The Senator was married to Joan Bennett Kennedy at the time who was pregnant but would later miscarry. Kennedy pled guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident after causing injury. He received a sentence of two months in jail, which was suspended. An Edgartown grand jury later reopened the investigation but did not return an indictment.

The accident has haunted his reputation and has hampered his political career through the decades since it transpired he withdrew in 1974 from the presidential race for 1976 and failed in a 1980 primary challenge to Jimmy Carter.

Kennedy's political opponents question whether justice was served in this case, though their motives may be political, and not based on any evidence. Rumors still circulate of a conspiracy by Kennedy and his family to alter his driving record to obviate charges of negligent homicide, and to influence the Edgartown grand jury. Some people question his description of his escape from the car, because of his back troubles remaining from his 1964 airplane accident. Though claiming to be injured, Kennedy swam a second larger body of water after the accident to return to his hotel room as the ferry was closed for the night.

[RPM]

14. or a laura bush cake

didnt she kill someone with a car?

fuck your coworker - what a piece of dogshit

[GreenPartyVoter]

her high school sweetie. I agree that's the cake to bring in

[YOY]

16. What a smug little turd

Sorry that you have to work with her.

Get someone who's kid died in Iraq. Have them call her up and say "Someone has to remember...we've chosen you."

Better yet get all the Iraqi deads' families to call.

[formerrepuke]

20. Ok then, come November bring in a "Michael, 42 years later" cake

As in, Laura Bush's little mishap in 1963:

http://www.childbutcher.com/laura_bush.htm

[joneschick]

21. thank you. I'm marking the calendar

in my original post I asked if the family had made a formal forgiveness. I thought that was years ago too. Any good du researchers today?

[Toucano]

22. I would ask her "Why?"

Why does someone have to remember? What relevence does that crime have on anyone today?

The White House is being investigate for crimes today.

Then I'd get a cake with on the the Abu Garib torture photos on it and say, "Someone has to remember."

Or the popular vote count from the 2000 presidential election. Someone has to remember.

[Submariner]

23. On Nov 5th bring in a cake for Laura the murderer's 42nd anniversary

More here.

http://www.bartcop.com/pickles-killer.htm

[peekaloo]

26. in the shape of a stop sign.

[Ioo]

25. Bring your own cake...

41% Apporval Rating, Worst Pres Ever...

[joneschick]

29. oh, I would love to

it's a very small office and I like my manager. My cd's for the day, all Dixie Chicks, Indigo Girls and Cat Stevens.

[mondo joe]

27. Maybe she'd like a slice of Laura Bush Vehicular Homicide tart.

Maybe with a side of pickles.

[EC]

30. Does she do this every year?

If not, why this year? I wonder if there are Repuge talking points or activist orders to go out and "remind" people about it? There is something more behind this, and it's mean spirited...

[joneschick]

34. this is a first afaik

I was thinking the same thing re: talking points. She listens to local/rush-wannabe talk radio all day.

[joneschick]

52. Bingo! ding ding, we have a winner

http://gullyborg.typepad.com/weblog_archive/2005/07/36_years_ago_to.html

Can anyone enlighten me re: this site? I just googled 36 years ago today and this came up.

[DemonFighterLives]

78. The righties spread that sh*t and think it's funny

A stupid ass had to call C-span with the big anniversary too.
It is sas that the freepers have no heart and sad to see this lady affected by hate radio to this extent. Office cakes will never be the same.

[FreedomAngel82]

96. They're desperate to get something off of Bush

His low numbers and nothing still getting done and the investigation. So of course they have to rely on Teddy. :eyes: When all else fails bring that up. It always works. When someone does that to me I just bring up Laura.

[DemonFighterLives]

98. Seems like the Kerry stuff has worn off

So it's Hillary and Teddy 24/7. It keeps their minds off of how bad their fearless leader is doing.
Bunch of losers all of them in the no mistake crowd.

[Ganja Ninja]

33. I would have picked it up and throw it in the trash.

And if she complained about it I'd tell her to bite me.

[Suziq]

94. I Would Do . . . .

and say exactly the same thing!

Screw these assholes . . .


:grr:

[yewberry]

36. I don't know

I can't find any reference to the family forgiving Kennedy.

Ask your co-worker if she thinks the Kopechnes would appreciate a cake celebrating the death of their daughter. That's just venomous.

[kskiska]

72. Kennedy settled with the family.

They've never uttered a word about it.

[Name removed]

38. Deleted message

[Mnemosyne]

40. What is muduring? A new dance?? bye.

[Gormy Cuss]

39. Ask why she didn't write the victim's name on the cake

It would clarify whether she's trying to remember the victim or just slamming Kennedy. I'll bet she doesn't even know it (Mary Jo Kopechne.)
Most older Democrats know it and have not forgotten. By the way tomorrow (7/26) would have been Mary Jo's 65 birthday. Perhaps you can bring your co-worker a card since she's so concerned.

Although it would be fun to do the Laura cake, she's not an elected official. I suggest you bring in a cake on Sept. 4 decorated with the words "29 Years Kennebunkport"

9/4/1976: W arrested for Operating Under the Influence. Somebody has to remember.

[Toucano]

48. Absolutely!

She must be given the "With sympathy" card tomorrow!

Excellent plan.

[ignatius 2]

42. Maybe you should bring a "Iraq war, mass murder based on lies" cake...

after all somebodys got to remember.

[joneschick]

44. would a nice yellow cake that just sez LIAR be good? eom

[tanyev]

47. Print out a large 1785 on your computer and slap it down

right in the icing.

[DistressedAmerican]

53. Seems Wildly Inappropriate In A Work Setting. Get Them Fired!

[Sparkly]

55. Does she also blame Laura Bush for the car accident that killed her bf?

That's just macabre and disgusting.

[stanwyck]

56. I hate to tell you this

but your co-worker is deeply disturbed.
I suggest he/she channel their time and energy toward a more positive activity, like helping people. Maybe taking up a hammer and nails and assisting with Habitat for Humanity.
Instead of this sick enterprise.

[Catherine Vincent]

64. This remind me of some repig woman that called into CSPAN

saying that she baked a cake to celebrate Clinton's bogus impeachment. What a dumbbell.:eyes:

[FreedomAngel82]

97. Well in that case

when Bush goes off to jail for the Valerie Wilson incident I'm going to celebrate for sure.

[Caretha]

82. And I suggest

She does her damn job. And what the hell is the matter with the owner/manager of that business. I would have "frog marched" her into my office and given her a choice. Take your damn cake and put it in your car and apologize to her co-workers for using/distracting them from their job to make some ridiculous statement or get your purse and clean out your desk.

This is a place of business supposedly.

BTW, you had ever right to look that woman straight in the eyes and wipe that cake off.

[devilgrrl]

57. I would have picked up the cake and tossed it across the room.

But that's just me.

[Tactical Progressive]

58. The only honest response to that

is to take the cake and smash it over their head. Take pictures of the humilation too.

Bush murders more people every ten minutes on purpose than Ted Kennedy did accidentally in his entire life.

[Catherine Vincent]

59. Did this really happen?

Geeze.

[joneschick]

65. you betcha! I didn't even tell you about

the red, white and blue sprinkles.....

[Catherine Vincent]

69. What a stupid and mean-spirited witch!

[The Great Deceiver]

62. eat the cake and smile in her face

talking about what an idiot bush is...that's what i'd do

some people ... too much money and too much time on thier hands

[sniffa]

68. eat the entire cake

then do a beLushi impression beLushi's impression of a zit.

[nookiemonster]

63. RW radio listening types can be really scary...

It's a cultish mentality.

I see alot of deprogramming in our future. Sigh.....

[deadparrot]

70. Charming that she's celebrating the anniversary of a woman's death.

Pro-life, indeed.

[joneschick]

71. and then I found out she was off by a week!

I wonder which talkbot put her up to this brilliant idea.
btw, this thread has made it to the site which must not be named. They don't believe it.......

[JohnnyBoots]

73. You work with Anne Coulter?

[joneschick]

74. that's REALLY scary!

no, the co-worker is really a very nice lady and generally tends toward the compassionate----except for everything she accepts as the whole and complete truth from the crappy radio she listens to all day.

[salin]

76. I dunno - someone motivated to go to all this effort

for such a stunt - seems to be more preoccupied with the "celebrity death match" type politics than with compassion for others. I mean - think of all the time she put into this little stunt. Really, really creepy.

Wonder if she realizes that some might read her actions this way. Not in terms of a judgement on her anti Kennedy stand - but that she put so much time and energy into this. Reeks of harboring irrational hatred towards those who don't agree politically.

Unless there is some direct connection to her and the incident (eg hometown, or connection to the family, or some other reason that she would need to "remember" beyond a political point to be scored in a really creepy and obsessive way.)

[Puzzler]

79. Maybe...

... you should bring in a Watergate anniversary cake.


-P

[DiverDave]

80. My vote goes to

a cake along the lines of "one stained blue dress...impeachment"
"1700+ dead for a LIE and NOTHING?"
Oh, and make sure it's a YELLOW CAKE, course the little dimwit won't get the inference.

[BiggJawn]

81. I'd had hocked a HUGE Loogie on it.

And then pointed out Pickles killing her former BF down in good ol' Texas...

Vicious Bush-Bot!

[truth2power]

83. I wouldn't be surprised

if Rush or one of those other hate-mongers suggested that on their show. Bushbots aren't known for their creative thinking skills. :eyes:

[DearAbby]

89. I would like to know...What was the reaction of your other co-workers?

How did they view the situation? What this person did, I agree borders on obsession, and creepy. The time and obvious glee she took in preparing this little surprise. Not to mention that it was extremely inappropriate.

Maybe you can get a petition of co-workers names protesting this incident and bring it to the attention to the business owner(s)

[gulliver]

92. Bring in a Timothy McVeigh, Registered Republican ...

... anniversary cake.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

93. ROFLMAO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

for providing such humour! This is absolutely hilarious! I cannot believe someone did that! Of course, I can't believe much of what ANY Republican does :)

Yes, I believe, but I am shocked and laughing until I am crying....needed the laughter TY!
