None of those ass clowns has the faintest idea what goes into a presidential visit (yes, I’ve been involved with one), but are all experts on the matter. I participated in that thread as well, so I guess I’m an asshole too. Course this will not be the first asshole list I’ve been on, but at least I see i"m in good company. Can we add Peter Norris? I mean, he is, but also _Peter Norris_ for Christs sake, come on you know that name just **sounds** like he’s an asshole. ---

On the plus side, I had the TV all to myself. 😃 ---

For ruining, derailing, and getting closed more threads over more years than any other asshole by far? Dio. He wasn’t stupid. Very few of his views were extreme. But asshole, destroyer of threads? You bet your ass. ---

None of those ass clowns has the faintest idea what goes into a presidential visit (yes, I’ve been involved with one), but are all experts on the matter. You’d better add the mainstream media to this list then. Given that you are an expert, perhaps you should call them or write an op-ed. Problem is, there was never any effort made to begin with. It was never even considered, so what went into such a visit is completely irrelevant. YOu just bought into the usual lame Presidential excuses. Which makes you…not an asshole, but gullible as hell. In any case, the President said that the critics were right, they should have sent someone high ranking over there. So that SHOULD end the argument, except a lot of you are shameless apparently. ---

Exampes of epic assholes are a dime a dozen. How about a meta-example of an epic asshole (e.g. somebody who posted an apparently innocuous link to a goatse pic)? ---

So that SHOULD end the argument, except a lot of you are shameless apparently. Do you ever get tired of always being wrong, you dumb fuck? Josh Earnest said that, not President Obama, and he was specifically referring to conversations held among White House staffers. It’s exactly this sort of anal-leakage you dribble all over the Elections forum, leaving it virtually unreadable. ---
