Bwa-hah!1 BARNICLE stepped on his own "favre"

[UTUSN]

On the morning scabs circus, there was a long segment with Senator McCASKILL, doing a workmanlike job of defending the Democratic administration and candidates and knocking down the 'Baggers and was called "my favorite senator" by Mika Mouse, who, typically, added, "Can I *say* that?!1"

Of course the senator had to fight back, smilingly, after every point because Chuck TODD would set about his journalistic duty to shoot down everything she said.

So, the scabs consensus was that the mood of the country is mad mad angry angry and the angry people are not nutcases, are good normal people who feel gypped and marginalized and overlooked which they didn't deserve because they were the best of the best hardworking honest decent people unlike anybody else in the country. Oh, and one of the other guests decided that the point of reference was the '70s because that was when the "people who played by the rules" were in the very same mood for the very same reasons. It took awhile for me to grok what brought up the '70s since it was all a blur of Disco or something, but finally it dawned on me that they meant that the '70s supposedly made RAYGUN *desirable*. Uh, like a barfing hangover or something.

Hookay, so the scene was set and BARNICLE made his grandly entrance, lecturing Senator McCsskill, because he is just the perfect populist, you know, NOT an elitist because he screwed up really bad on points of ethics to the point of criminality and yet he's got Power Elite pals like G.E. WELCH and the late G.E. RUSSERT among many, so he gets to be on a national venue and lecture us Unwashed about how in touch he is with the common Us. So he sternly told the senator that he had been a lifelong Democrat, bred of good decent Democrats, but that he is SO disgusted, although he wasn't specific what about, like for me it would be why he has a job instead of shame. Usually he is disgusted because of all of us internet typists who don't have editors to LIE to.

So, he delivered this peroration in a flat way, just unfocused because his premise of being in touch with the latest mood and all wasn't built up convincingly, and there wasn't an oration to start with, so the peroration didn't really *build*. And he got to the big Wind-Up, squinting his threat at the senator and said, "I have TWO WORDS to say to both the Democrats and Re(thuglicans): ... In 2012 there WILL be a third party and the TWO WORDS are..."

Wait for it. The suspense was only mild. So the first word was "Mike." Wait for it. And his big second word was?!1


BLUMENTHAL. His fellow castmates quickly corrected him, "BLOOMBERG." A low hiss of escaping gas ensued, more like a low grade pissing job, and he meekly repeated the correction, "BLOOMBERG."

4. Yip, it's done now. As I said halfway through I was Posting halfway because

my keys stick sometimes and whatever one it is erases everything and I'm clueless at getting it back and haven't backed-it up.
