Obama to Douglas: You must be quite a politician

Gov. Jim Douglas and his fellow governors met today with President-elect Barack Obama and Vice President-elect Joe Biden.

Obama insisted on greeting each governor personally before getting down to business, Douglas said. His comment to Douglas:

"He said, 'You must be quite a politician to get elected repeatedly in Vermont' or something like that," Douglas said. "I said, 'Sir, I just grabbed onto your coattails."

The group met with Obama and Biden for an hour and a half, sharing the pain of the economy and the governors asking for Medicaid and highway help. No promises from the incoming leaders, but it sounds like the states have a seat at the table.

Obama's coattail helped Douglas ?
And Dubie too ?
Some strange and twisted logic,which may defy explanation.
No odder perhaps than Gov.Douglas suddenly going to Washington with his hand out and claiming he isn't there for a handout.

Yes much sadder than those. The GOP is in trouble. Come 2010...the Dems will have their veto proof majority. Florida's Senator Martinez, will not be seeking reelection. And Kansas' Senator Brownback wants to make run for Governor and Sebelius wants his seat in Senate. The GOP is falling apart. People have become smart. They do not want to believe in a party that is so anti everything except what comes out of their interpretation of the Bible

He shouldn't and she shouldn't have.

What's your point?

Douglas is a crappy governor who has not filled a single campaign promise, but he's got the job and he should be paid.

He's also filthy rich. His family has gobs of money ... but so what?

Yea, the $50 per day in food is really stupid.

Douglas should just donate that to the foodbank for a Vermonter who really needs it.

Or perhaps the Governor can start paying for his own damned lunch like the rest of us.

I'll bet when he starts paying for his own lunches, they won't cost $50 per day!

In 2001, the governor of the state of Vermont made $96,678.

In 2008, the governor will make$150,051. (More than any other New England Governor.)

That's a 55% jump in only 7 years.

I don't know any Vermonters whose salary jumped that much in such a small period of time.

And I don't see any reason for us to be paying for his lunches.

Yeah, that's a good example of doogie debacle incompetence.

Then there's puttin' boy blunderville at AOT to do as little as possible while Vermont's roads and bridges went completely to hell.

And as long as we're in the neighborhood, there's puttin' that incompetent helluvajob hofie hack
at Corrections.

Ask Brooke Bennett or the Rutland Correctional Center what a bang up job he did.

Then, of course, there's the fact that after six years of him at the helm, Vermont's in much worse shape than the one he inherited from Howard Dean six years ago.

Of course, a lot of Vermont's problems can be laid at the incompetent-trash feet of shrub and his brain-dead bushleague policies, but doogie supports shrub and continues to endorse those brain-dead bushleague policies, so there goes that excuse.

Ya got any more psychotic-slop questions, little nameless-nitwit fella, or have ya gotten it all outta your system for the time bein'?

They make less because they do less. No one works harder than Gov. Douglas - that's the reason why he was reelected with 55% of the vote. It's not rocket science.

Douglas hasn't done anything that he said he'd do.

There is no justification for raising his pay by 55% -- not at a time when my taxes are going up and Vermonters are losing jobs!

All Douglas knows how to do is SPEND, SPEND, SPEND ... and he likes to take a big piece of the pie for himself!

So out of hundreds of appointments that any governor makes, you didn't like Lunderville and the corrections guy had some problems. Now name a governor whose appointments all worked out. Incompetence isn't about political philosophy or where we are in the business cycle. It's about Keystone Cops-type blunders. Like Waco. Only you'd need a series of them to make a blanket incompetence statement. Just because you can use a word in a sentence doesn't mean you can use correctly.

He "had some problems", eh? Well, the fact that he had more "problems" than experience in corrections when doogie appointed him and he still appointed him anyway just may have had some bearing on those "problems", putz.

Ya gonna tell me that doogie didn't say that this was the worst economic situation he'd seen since the early '80s now too, little fella?

Nice try. No sale.

"Now name a governor whose appointments all worked out."

He didn't name these nitwits the under assistant west coast promo man, shmendrik.

Like his boy, shrub, he named them to key posts, despite the fact that they were incompetent hacks because he's and incompetent hack and because they were loyal doogies.

"Incompetence isn't about political philosophy or where we are in the business cycle. It's about Keystone Cops-type blunders. Like Waco."

Or like 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq, Abu Ghraib, Gitmo, Katrina, Valerie Plame, Scooter, Cheney, Rove, the Banking Crises, The Housing Crises, The Economic Meltdown, etc, etc, etc.

Which one of those was a Douglas call? You said Douglas was incompetent. That "his boy" stuff is wearing thin. 54 percent of Vermonters didn't buy your crap for a moment.

Douglas had a couple people who didn't have much direct experience with their particular agencies/departments, even though they had plenty of administrative experience, plenty of smarts, and some (Gasp!) loyalty to the governor. Wooooooooooooooooooh! Scary stuff! Every, I mean every, governor and every president has a certain number of kitchen cabinet type appointments. Big freakin' deal.

In tort law, something like history and economics that you know nothing about, there is a concept called the reasonable person standard. If a reasonable person in that position would have handled it the same, there's no liability. To litigate successfully, one would have to demonstrate what one would do differently. You, sport, are attempting to try Douglas in the court of public opinion on a charge of incompetency. You lost on Nov. 4. You've lost here. You've got bupkis. And you bore me.

It is if they don't know what the hell they're doin' and they pull a shrub and put a helluvajob hofie in a position he's got no business bein' in and people suffer and die needlessly because of it, little clueless-cretin fella.

"Every, I mean every, governor and every president has a certain number of kitchen cabinet type appointments. Big freakin' deal."

It was to Brooke Bennett and her family and friends, little fella.

Ask them how they feel about your sorry butt playin' the "everybody does it card", clueless.

"He's not Governor, nitwit. Just because the electrician doesn't know how to do brain surgery doesn't get the brain surgeon off the hook for botchin' the operation and killin' the electrician's kid, clueless."

Clearly, there's nothing under the sun of which you know absolutely nothing about.

The folks back home in know nothing nation - the next generation must be so proud.

"In tort law, something like history and economics that you know nothing about, there is a concept called the reasonable person standard. If a reasonable person in that position would have handled it the same, there's no liability."

In other words, he's toast.

A veritable charred pop-tort

Nice try, little factose-intolerant fella.

Apart from the fact that he's not being tried in a Court of Competent Jurisdiction, little factose-intolerant fella, unlike your ignorant anonymous ass, unfortunately, he's not just another nameless nitwit on the street.

He's the Governor of the State of Vermont. He's supposed to know what the hell he's doing and so are the incompetent hacks he puts in positions of importance where their incompetence not only costs Vermont a lot of money, it can cost innocent people their lives and liberty.

A reasonable person in that position would not appoint an incompetent hack to a position they had no qualifications for or business being in.

That constitutes reckless disregard and contributory negligence.

It's gonna take a bit more than the "I didn't mean it, Mommy!" defense to get him off the hook.

That doesn't work for my six year-old nephew. He's supposed to know better. So is the Governor of Vermont, schmuck.

Bush and the gop-slime brigade were and will continue to be held accountable for the incompetent trash that was helluva job brownie and scooter the slimeball.

He may well pardon them on his way out the door since he's decided to phone in the last six months of his Presidency to trash the environment and polish the turd that is his legacy at taxpayer expense while the World looks to Obama to save them from this nightmare even though he can't do legally do anything until the scum has been evicted, the joint has been fumigated and January 20th, 2009 rolls around.

This is doogie's watch. He's responsible for what happens and the scum he deputizes. If they screw up, it's on the putz in the pavilion.

Ask Brooke Bennett. Ask the next husband of the next soccer mom with a mini-van full of kids on their way home from the game who lands in the river because the forking' bridge collapsed because doogie couldn't be bothered to appoint someone who knew their ass from their elbow.

Unfortunately, unlike doctors who botch operations or repeatedly amputate or operate the leg marked "N" instead of the one marked "Y" - see if ya can crack the code, little clueless-cretin fella - it's extremely difficult, bordering on impossible, to try public officials for their misconduct, malpractice and incompetence while in office. That, however, doesn't make them any less incompetent and clueless. It just shields their beach house from judgement.

If doogie and his boy, shrub, could be legally held accountable for their incompetence and gross negligence, OJ would get his Heisman and his Hertz Commercials back before those gop-slime swine saw the light of day.

You're dumb, you're scum, ya got bupkis and I'm gonna miss smackin' your ignorant anonymous ass from pillar to post on a regular basis, little fella, but I'll get over it.

Another nameless nitwit will fall off the schmuck truck and take your place in a heartbeat. Here's one now.

You're already gone. I had a blast.

Iraq. The current economic meltdown. Next.

The Waco incident took place from 02/28/1993 through 04/19/2003

Your boy Bill was at the helm of the United States, not Arkansas.

Just why you bring up the matter of Clinton’s terms a governor is an interesting question. If it is an attempt to claim that somehow the governor of Arkansas had something to do with events in Texas you are exceedingly misinformed.

If it was an attempt at distraction you are exceeding delusional about your abilities in any sort of debating.

You couldn't debate a doorknob, knucklehead.

I'd take the knob and the points, fleece you sorry butt and live off the fat of the lunatic-fringe lamb, little fella.

Always a pleasure.

Jeff, there are mental health professionals who can help you. Reach out to them. It will be okay.

This isn't an attack. People want to help. You just need to ask.

"That's a 55% jump in only 7 years."

Then why did the Democratically-controlled Legislature vote for those increases?

Answer: because they hope to win the Gov's seat back some day and they want that salary when they do.

"The Bennington Office Building debacle is a glaring example of Douglas's incompetence."

No, the Bennington Office Building is an example of mass hysteria.

And didn't the complaints about that building start while Dean was still Gov?
