For my 1000th post:

Please DU THIS PBS POLL!!! I mean, I'm BEGGIN' here!!1

No but seriously, another thread posted a bit of freep fantasy a little bit ago, and - incredibly - I had just been there and found an equally stupefying post and thought I'd share it with my DU brothers and sisters. Uh - need I say? I love this place and the People here, which may explain why I come here about 50 times a day!! Couldn't make it without you guys!!!

Freep deep thought:


The cameras in the chamber will be glued to McCain. It’s historical - 42 days before an election, and the man suspends it to go back to his DUTY as a Senator?

Man’s a genius.

What’s Obama going to do? Ask why McCain didn’t show up to the debate? “Sorry, your lordship, but I was WORKING.”

Next move, he sends Palin in as a substitute to the debate.

Can you imagine? She’s there, McCain is back voting, and the idiot decides to grandstand, and SHE WALKS UP AND TAKES HIS PLACE?

Game over.

It’s brilliant. The press won’t be able to help themselves but to cover it. You couldn’t write this stuff as fiction.

5. You're no newbie if you've been here for 3 years. You're an "oldie"

just like me. I've been here 5 years and just posted my 1000th a couple weeks ago.

3. LOL! Not gonna happen. Obama will be in the Senate for as long as it takes.

Even on the day of the debate.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, Harry Reid can play bad guy and recess the Senate until Monday.

6. Oy. "The base" really, really wants her to be prez. They know he's gonna croak.

Just a guess.
