According to the article in the daily fishwrap she says it is going to be as exciting as "a tupperware party"

elegant? really?

I believe the reporter misheard her...that was "elephant side"

You have to love these elitist, sarcastic remarks from liberals who belong to the party of the middle class.

Abeles, how is there room for you AND Janet on the saddle of her high horse?

I am not one of the liberals of whom you speak; however, I would not describe her, and it is not my place to define the lady, as elegant. I am not one of Bush's supporter but his wife, Miss Laura, is elegant. At this point, Huckabee, Romney or Ron Paul will get my vote, unless someone like Bloomberg enters the race(and he is much too liberal).

Hugh Mann, I bought my high horse with cash money. I'm guessing you share the mindset of a large swath of your party who cherish a free ride.

She has an elegant side? Apparently, I didn't get that memo.

I'll bet this announcement does wonders Maybelline and Final Net stock prices.. Hey Janet.. I have some free dishes and hand towels for you if you stay away from Carrol County.

Littlecrotch, I really want to know what makes you such an aristocrat.

Not a free ride, Abeles, just equal footing. I think a larger middle class is healthier for an economy and a society than for everyone to be either abjectly poor or obscenely wealthy.

Just where did you get all your cash money? Let me guess ... you were born a white male and was raised in a stable home. You did well with your opportunities. And now you work hard for your cash money. You deserve everything you've got, don't you? (Talk about elitist.)

Too bad everyone doesn't have those same opportunities. What could a society do to remedy such disparity?

Well, I tried this before and it escaped into the computer netherworld so here goes again -- and I apologize if they both show up.

If ya gotta point out you can be elegant, you ain't. Still, if getting competent leadership in the White House weren't so deadly serious, it might be fun to see what Miz Janet would do as first lady.

Hmmm. Scratch that. It would reflect badly on the rest of us Arkansas wimmen.

Hugh Mann, your equal footing comment was so sincere and sweet, I'm shedding tears. We have the best economy in the world and it always will be (ceteris paribus). Now, I agree that we can work to descrease the causes of disparities between successful and not so successful citizens; but, if you're looking for equal footing, move to Scandinavia. Capitalism inherently rewards some more than others.

Abeles, because I don't feel the need to tout about in a press release to the masses to that I'm a classy broad.

Former first ladies of arkanas that have an automatic elegant side, just off the top of my head:
gaye white
betty bumpers
pryor
clinton (when she wants to)

Best economy in the world? Are you on drugs, Abeles? Seriously. We're not the best in anything anymore (seriously, look it up)...and no, I'm not blaming Bush for that....there's plenty of blame to be spread around between both parties as well as our citizenry. But, ultimately, you just came on here to antagonize people by making ad hom attacks, so you don't care. You'll likely just continue to allow the bile to spill out of your mouth with little to no concern for factual information.

"We have the best economy in the world and it always will be (ceteris paribus)."

You mean the part of our economy that doesn't belong to China if everything remains the same?

Have you noticed the hole in Iraq filled with our blood, souls, and treasury, as well as the blood of other people who once lived there? That might stand to change things in the world.

Equal footing will never happen in my lifetime, but it's something we should aim for.

Capitalism rewards the ones who can play.

Oh, I meant to offer you an hanky after the blood-soul-treasury bit.

Devilsadvocate, wouldn't it be boring if everyone shared the same beliefs, religion, politics, etc.? Surely, you embrace diversity. Why let these blogs be an warm, fuzzy zone for liberals to embrace their idealism? Stirring the pot is healthy for everyone.

Stirring the pot is healthy; dumping nonsensical rhetorical crap into the mix doesn't help the stew...even if the foaming is fun to watch. I just hope our economy survives the decades long Republican/Democratic sellout to big business.

I agree, doigotta, if it wasn't for the seriousness of this immoral, based-on-lies war and the attacks on our Constitution, a Huck/Janet White House could be fun....kind of like watching Duggar TV or a Family Council press conference. But monkeyboy has taken all the fun out of watching Bible-thumping zealots use god to push their personal agendas; and Huck's lying arrogance has taken all the fun out of his jovial quips.

will there have to be extra security assigned to her to make sure she doesn't steal things like she tried to when leaving the governors mansion? better count the silverware.

Zonker, apparently sticky fingers run in Clinton's blood too.....

Max, with that picture that you put up of the the lovely couple, the terrorists have now won.

Littlecrotch, please elaborate on your prior comment. Personal attacks can be fun. We look forward to seeing your picture.

I had cleared my afternoon for a big round of masturbation before I caught the picture of Huck and Janet kissing. Now it's cold shower time! Abeles has that same tone that shows up now and then on the AT blog. The "why do you little people even bother to try" attitude. The "Go back to your squalor and shut up, you'll never be a good as me" thing.

Yawn! No matter how skillfully they try, people like Abeles can't hide their ugly side. Same goes for the Huckabees. By throwing their hat in the ring, the Huckabees become fair game. No lady would describe herself as elegant, but good Southern manners prevent telling her otherwise....unless she is helping her husband climb up to a higher government tit. Then it's open season!

America currently sucks and everyone not on the Kool-aid knows it. The cause is a government gone wild. Throwing an egomaniac like Huckabee on the fire will only make it worse. I will admit Huckabee is the very best Republican running for Prez. But that is akin to saying someone is the best dressed retarded kid on the short bus. We must have better than this to stay alive!

I feel pretty sure Abeles isn't in the 1% as he likes to think and when the Republican meltdown comes, he will not be one of the lucky ones airlifted out to Dubai by Halliburton. His personal economy might be great at the moment, but in the end he will fall short of the glory of George Bush and will be left to sink or swim like the rest of us.

I will go out on a limb now and say that Abeles will not be allowed in our Liberal training camp high in the Ozark Mountains. Scat I say! We're busy saving our country and offer no shelter to pikers! Scat!

Aaack! Eeek! Take the picture down!

It is littlecrock and I don't need to post my picture, because I'm not running for office. Besides, I don't associate with those of the missing chromosome set.

And since when has Barbara Pryor not been a woman of elegance and class?

abeles if you will read the article that was an accounting problem of gifts being on 2 lists. that is a big difference. piglet took stuff that wasn't hers.

By my count, yes I know I missed two, Liberals eighteen, repugs five, and two I consider a draw.

Worst comment "good economy", must been an escapee from the bentonville unit.
A missed comment on "Laura is elegant", a texas twit if there ever was one.
Best comment, a tie between "I had cleared my afternoon for a big round of masturbation" and "missing chromosome set". Both extremely cogent remarks.
Let Them Eat Cake Remark "part of the middle class", Obviously cannot stand to associate with the plebian masses, therefore, deserves to move to the elite area of the green zone in Bagdad.

Abeles, stir the pot. Liberals always welcome intelligent debate. Sadly, I haven't seen much intelligence or debate come from any of this. If you have something insightful to say, I would like to see it.

Is Jethrene Sugarbutton Tomboy gon' hunt her some rattlesnakes for the press? Snakes and a plane! I'm ready! She'll do us Arkies proud again.

Abeles, ultimately you just come across as a pissed off conservative...

*wait* do i need the adjective "pissed off" in front of conservative, or is it just understood these days that they're all pissed off?

"Aaack! Eeek! Take the picture down!"

Yes, PLEASE! Immediately if not sooner. And how much longer till the dinosaur dies?

Oh, maybe the dinosaur has done died. Glory!

Ables,

The "best economy in the world is currently over $9 TRILLION in debt.

Anybody can appear prosperous by overspending, in the short run.

If you add the National Debt to the trade deficit the US begins to resemble some of those sub-prime mortgage idiots. They kept refinancing their mortgage to get access to any equity they were building to pay off credit card debt. Now as they have spent everything and now can't get any more credit they are crying woe is me.

The rest of the world probably thinks we are idiots just like I look to people that took adjustable rate loans when interest rates were at a generational historical low.

Econ 101 says lock in low interest debt for as long as possible.

Deathbyinches, before you claim territory in the Ozarks represented by a Republican congressman, don't you think you should consider moving to the heavily Democratic Delta, a region represented locally and nationally by Dems since Reconstruction. They've done such a fabulous job with the school systems (Lakeview) and loal governments (Helena) that I'm sure you would be more prideful living with your own.

Hey! The liberals get to lay claim to the Buffallo River. It would be nothing but a lake if Carter hadn't intervened.

Self correction: It was Nixon. Good for him.

We have the best economy in the world <<

Get off the turnip truck and watch some financial news. According to chairman of Fed Reserve we're headed for a long downturn. Next year the bonfire of vanities will end.

"I'm very unique in the sense that I'm not afraid to show all sides: The fun side, the serious side, the elegant side, whatever I need to do," she said.
Janet Huckabee

How about the side that includes missing gifts to the guv's Mansion? That should be elegant even though the national media will tear it to shreds if she gets to be a player.

Btw, Laura Bush is the only First Lady to have committed a misdemeanor murder..when she was 18.
She shed no tears.

Oh Lawsy,,,I've been sick a week and not on computer much.....now I just fire up the
machine for a little R & R to be greeted by *THE PICTURE,* threw me into relapse......
conjures up all kinds of perverted pictures in my mind.......
Just what is fundie sex life like anyway???????????????

Janet got an interview on NPR's "All Things Considered" this afternoon. I'd only recommend it for any who haven't already made up their minds. Same old Janet.

The campaign might want to shut Janet up. Click on my name to see what she says about her oldest son.

If she says that about him wonder what she'll say about her daughter's escapades.

The issue is simpler than the previous 40+ posts would lead you to believe. Janet has been largely absent from the campaign thus far for a reason. She cant hide forever, and now that Huck's awshucks horseshit has charmed a few pundits (a fact that destroys my faith in the vaunted Liberal Media), he's got to let Janet out of the, er, pen. So to speak. Of course, more media attention will mean more Velveeta, more rapist-murderer-Mansion-gardeners, more JetSki Janet. More dog torturing campers, concealed weapons on planes, and more state police aircraft stories. More triple-wide. More Jennings. More Wayne Dumond.

I say let's let Janet be Janet. Sooooooooiiiiieeeeeee!!!

Go Janet!

(Please)

I listened to Janet Huckabee on NPR yesterday and when they said she would be on, I decided to listen with an open mind and try to be fair. To be fair.....she was a big zero. To sum up her message...they don't have any money. Mike believes in marriage between a man and a woman. They love the Lord. The Lord loves them. Why don't Christians vote for the 1 Christian candidate...Mike Huckabee? Why not follow the Lord into the voting booth and vote for Mike. Why not a miracle?

Find the one thing she said that would be a good reason to vote for Mike Huckabee? I can say with as much confidence as Janet that the Lord wants me to be mayor of Fort Baptist. I don't have any money. I evidently believe in marriage between a man and a woman....my wife of 25 years squats to pee. I don't love the lord, but I find no evidence that the Lord pays me any attention either. It's some kind of draw. Why wouldn't sinners vote for me...a fellow sinner in good standing? Why not go into the voting booth and disrobe? Talk about a funny election! Why not free health care?

Janet didn't sound like the devil. She sounded like any white grocery store cashier from Arkansas. Not a bad thing....not a good thing...a very common thing around these parts. Of course no one is going to vote for or against Mike Huckabee based on who he is married to. Really, only Hillary will gain or lose votes because of her spouse. I do have to giggle when I think of Janet as first lady. If you think Nancy Reagan was a she-bitch on wheels....imagine what First Lady Janet would be like. Whoo boy!
