"Her story is so compelling"
So intoned Bob Schieffer to Maggie Rodriguez in a time wasting segment on the CBS Early Show live from Mini Happiness Arena or whereverthefuck they're running away from.

I guess 'compelling' is what you say when you got nuttin' else ta say.

"Hi! I'm Vice President Story. I'm glad ta meetcha!"

:eyes:

1. How is she compelling? Did they say?
Guess they don't need to say....idiots will just agree with it without knowing why they agree with it.

2. What is "compelling" about Gidget?

Besides her pertness, I mean. I can't imagine what Schieffer thought he was referring to. When I heard her story, I was compelled to barf. Maybe that's what he means.

3. 'Compelling stories' get you mentioned on Paul Harvey...
Edited on Mon Sep-01-08 08:39 AM by niceypoo
...but they shouldn't get you into the Oval office

Having said that, I am still waiting for this alleged story to materialize...

6. Oprah should invite her on ..and then ask her some real questions
:evilgrin:

but Mrs Moose would never go, because she knows Oprah is for Obama..

Mrs Moose will become a regular at Herictage , AEI, Hoover Institute, Eagle Forum...and of course every tv station she can get to..

4. your guess would be right... ;-)
In the 60 Minutes interview, when Obama was asked about his thoughts on Palin, he said he doesn't really know her, but "she seems to have a compelling life story, obviously if she's a... fine mother and an... up and coming public servant."

Can't you tell how terrified Obama is? :rofl:

5. Nevermind that it's probably a big fat lie
and embellished to the nth degree..

Hey.. let's get a screenplay writer or a novelist and make him/her vice president.. I bet they could come up with some great stories:)

11. Frankly, I'm heartily sick of hearing everybody's "compelling life/American stories"!1
What I want to hear is somebody stand up and shout, "I am going to REVERSE anything and everything Shrub ever did, and then I'm going to chip his hieroglyph OFF the White House annals!1 And then the nation will conclude to its very core that NO Bush family member will EVER darken the threshold of the White House ever again!1


Uh... Got a little carried away (not!1).
