Every blogger has gotta start somewhere by rallying against somebody.

I especially liked her complete profile.
Posted by Allan L. | September 2, 2008 6:16 PM
Most likely someone whose pie you dissed. The reference to your "pie hole" is the clincher.

You are no Tony Randall.

Darn you, Jack. By posting this other person's blog, you got us all to check it out. You gave her/him what she/he wanted. Damb.
I hate blogs that are hateful. Wow, that sounds kind of stupid and redundant, but it's true. Give us a forum to debate, chat and to rant and laugh. But, no need to be nasty!
I shall never, ever go to that blog again. Why encourage it? Now back to the convention with the only honest/naive guy left in politics, Joe Lieberman.

Jack, you should see waht they've said about you at BO (Blue Oregon). You're getting it from all sides.
Posted by Mike | September 2, 2008 7:56 PM
You're getting it from all sides.
That just proves you are talking about the right stuff.
Its pretty typical of party politics. You better follow along with the talking points 100% or you will be considered the enemy.

You tell me; I'm not even going to look.
It doesn't matter what they say about me; it really doesn't. Here are the only two things about the events of the last five days that matter: Sarah Palin showed extremely poor judgment flying from Dallas to Anchorage after her water broke. And the story of her pregnancy and delivery with Trig is hard to believe.
Beyond that, let people say all they want.
I am not discussing Bristol Palin's current pregnancy. As I have said here a couple of times now, her mother is doing the right thing about that. Indeed, the mother is using almost exactly the words I suggested in an earlier post to assess her daughter's unfortunate predicament. I am not interested in Bristol Palin and her unborn child at all.
I am very interested in what happened in the pregnancy and delivery of Trig Palin. My legitimate concerns about that remain.

I unfortunately succumbed to the link and read a few posts. That person appears to have an anger management problem. How do people get so outraged that they'd write a whole post about you?
[I have a question I really want to ask about right-wingers in general and their self-reported levels of happiness in studies of satisfation with one's life... but it may be inappropriate to do so in this comment because I'd hate to appear to be stereotyping based on one person's behavior. And it'd be off-topic. So I'll just leave it here - in lonely lil' brackets.]
I think there may be something to Jon's remark.

Oh, man! They even dragged the ever-wholesome PIE into their rant.
Wait. Does that mean Pie has hit the big time too?
wOOt!

I haven't got the foggiest idea what "Mike" is talking about. There certainly haven't been any posts about Jack at BlueOregon lately.

Good! I can't keep up with all the attacks.
And I'm not even running for anything!

Regarding Gov. Palin's daughter Bristol and her soon to be husband....I hear in move for party unity that Dick Cheney is heading to Alaska to proceed with a shot-gun wedding...

I bet they serve "Duck!" at the reception.

By the way, this LA Times item reports how the McCain campaign "orchestrated news of Bristol Palin's pregnancy".

trying that link again, sorry. Should this also not work:

FYI, that bikini photo is a fake. Nice photoshop job, though. The guv is much more attractive than the original model.

You're right, "Kari," there were only two or three at the time I looked at BO. September 1 isn't "lately?"
