Leno sighting

I don't want to brag, but I was on Jay Leno's show Monday. Apparently, anyway - that's what people tell me. I don't actually stay up that late anymore.

The headline over a story with my byline about Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie weighing in on the marijuana legislation came up in his Monday review of funny headlines and ads from newspapers.

Dubie takes on marijuana bill, it said.

Which is funny, of course, in an eighth-grade kind of way. I didn't write the headline. Nor did I give the man his last name.

A correction to my last post - the minority leader does have an office, as does the majority leader, down the street from the Statehouse, too far to be convenient enough for them to use. Sounds like a potential future location for the state archives.

Interesting. I saw a bumpersticker in 2006 that said "Smoke Dubie!"

Fool, where is your PROOF that Bush EVER told America McCain fathered a child with a black prostitute? You're as bad as jw, apparently you went to the same third grade. Did you get this from the "Reverend" Wright?

Good for you! It's good to see someone that thinks for himself and doesn't blindly follow the party line. VT needs more critical thinkers.

Is that what I said? Silly me. I thought it was just an atta boy for having the intelligence to think rather than spew the party line(not that you would ever do that). I didn't see any reference to voting the straight ticket. I think you made that up.

Come on Coopy. Are those voices talking to you again?

Nice try, schmuck. You're ignorant trash. You can't think any more than you can win the NBA slam dunk championship.

Yeah, and I was born in a cross-fire hurricane, howled at my my in the drivin' rain and when I'm not playing center and leading off for the Boston Red Sox, I play guitar sing and write for an English Rock n roll band of some note I co-founded in 1962, little anonymous- nitwit fella.

Pleased to meet you, hope you guess my name.

You're ignornant anonymous ass has long-since established its clueless-cretin credentials to say anything about everyone and everything as long as you're not required to confine yourself to the facts or the truth.

You can show yourself out.

JW can't even spell "ignorant" correctly, let alone piece a sentence together without using that "bupkis" line from that weird lobster character from Futurama.

JW, pal, if you haven't noticed yet, you don't even irritate us anymore . . . we just keep egging you on for our own amusement. You are just a toy for us to play with, pal. And you are playing your oh-so-predictable part very, very well.

Dismissed, ha ha! Keep coming back JW cause you crack us up!

"The Progressive Party has a strong candidate for governor. The Democratic Party doesn't want to lose another office like the one they lost to Bernie."

And just what office did they lose to Bernie and when did they lose it, little factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest deduce bag fella?

Last I heard, Tarrant was gop-slop. He certainly was listed as such on the ballot when Senator Sanders thumped him after he'd blown 7 million bucks introducing himself to Vermont only to make himself less popular than when we didn't know him?

In other words, a comparatively-poor man's Vermont answer to Mitt-wit Romney.

Has he denounced the party, dressed himself in drag and headed for the lifeboats, too, little factually-challenged fella?

"But no one dares to run for fear of losing. So their only hope is to paint Pollina as a loser and hope that he does. The governor wins again. But that's okay, according the Dems. Wait'll 2010. Then they'll take care of everything. Just be patient."

Well, for the sake of Vermont, they'd better field a Candidate or get behind Pollina because the way things are goin' under shrub and the jimi douglas experience, there's gonna be nothin' left to save.

After 6 years of incompetent, illegitimate gop-control of all 3 branches of Government and 7 years of shrub, 2008 is lookin' more like 1932 every day.

By the time shrub's ignorant ass is hangin' by the neck in the Hague, we're gonna need Obama and a 21st-Century New Deal and Marshall Plan to get us out of the rubble the 43rd reich has plunged us and the rest of the world into.

"They're more pitiful than the national dems."

Ya mean the ones controlling both chambers of the Vermont Legislature, Vermont's Congressional Delegation most of the Nation's Governorships and State Houses with two strong candidates capable, with the help of a Dem-Controlled Congress, of cleaning up the Bush mess caused by the disastrous brain-dead bush-league policies Grandpa McClueless wants to make permanent, little factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, lyin' sack of horsebrit, Anti-American trash fella?

You're dumb, you're scum and you're a wastin' my dog's oxygen.

Disappear.

Quoth the bupkis-spewin' nameless-nitwit with no better than a 50/50 chance of gettin' through "Zzzzz" without cheneyin' it up.

And just when did I allegedly make the typo in question, deduce bag?

Actually, like your ignorant, lyin'-scum ass's evidently terminal case of it, "bupkis has been around a bit longer than Futurama, little factually-challenged fella.

"JW, pal, if you haven't noticed yet, you don't even irritate us anymore . . . we just keep egging you on for our own amusement. You are just a toy for us to play with, pal. And you are playing your oh-so-predictable part very, very well."

Yeah, and gas and fuel oil prices are droppin' like a rock and McCain's sure to carry Vermont, too, little factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, increasingly-delusional deduce bag fella.

"Dismissed, ha ha! Keep coming back JW cause you crack us up!"

"Us" being the ignorant-trash likes of you, bubbles and the other nameless-nitwit delusional enough to buy your factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest fecal matter.

That's one helluva formidable line-up you swine are sendin' to the plate.

Nice try, little factually-challenged fella, but the crack-up ship sailed on you delusional dreck merchants long before I got here. It probably even predated Hoffer, but it's possible it wasn't until his rookie year.

In any event, you were ignorant white-supremacist trash with bupkis wastin' my dog's oxygen then, too.

Disappear.

11:54 was your failed attempt to spell "ignorant". You spelled it "ignornant". C-plus, JW, but good effort.

and yes, as much as it pains you, your like-clockwork rants and raves entertain me. They make no sense, of course, but the laugh factor makes up for that. So write more, JW, write as much as you can. We love it!

Re-appear!

p.s. I'm a dem, nitwit.

JW charmingly says: "You're dumb, you're scum and you're a wastin' my dog's oxygen."

It's an epic battle...JW and his little poodle Fluffy struggling against all the evil anon's for the last gasp of oxygen in Montpelier.

A Lifetime movie for sure.

Thank You, as always, for that ignorant, ill-informed, factually-challenged and fundamentally-dishonest white-supremacist slime perspective, little deduce bag, fella.

I so enjoy your lunatic-fringe, bigoted-trash postcards from the edge.

Nice sheet, schmuck.

Nevertheless, your Anti-American ass continues to waste my dog's oxygen.

It was sort of like those other Brooklyn con artists, Ben and Jerry, who pompously announced no executive would ever make more than 7 times the pay of the lowest worker! We know what happened there, too!

Progressive = con artist.
