Tamera Luzzatto

Don D

I watched this woman for thirty excruciating minutes this morning on C-SPAN just trying to give her a fair opportunity to make some sort of impression on me one way or the other. I can't decide which was more painful, my knee or watching this woman. Non-stop idiotic, bombastic babble. A wind-up witch of a winch that made no point and even less sense. Where do our politicians find these people, I wondered, watching her. For 30 minutes there was no pause in her speech, no period at the end of any sentence other than her insertion of the occasional, grating, ahhhmmm. She was followed by Jerrold Nadler, D-NY, which reminded me I needed to make my way to the bathroom. I noticed that his head is roughly half the size it was when I last saw him. He's dieting. He belongs to either Ray or Whatever.

Your assignment for today is (1) find out who Luzzatto is, and (2) no matter the pain; force yourself to watch/listen to her for 5 minutes and report back.

Luzzatto is chief of staff to Hillary (Isn't Hillary really a Southerner, one of Don's folk?). Nadler belongs to Whatever. No I will not watch either for 5 minutes.

Don D

Blasphemy Ray! Hillary Clinton is not a Southerner, thank you Raymond. Born in Chicago, Illinois, the South did put up with her as the resident witch for a few years; but then she was sent back to the north country.

I chuckle when I remember her remarks about being named after Sir Edmund Hilary of mountaineer fame, although he didn't climb a mountain until she was four or 5 years old. But, it depends on what the definition of 'named after' is, was, could be.

My point was, watch this Luzzatto character and try your hardest to get warm and fuzzy with her. I predict even Judy, Whatever and Whirlwind will disassociate themselves from this woman. x:-)

Whatever

Nadler does not belong to me. He is from Manhattan. But, yes, he is a Liberal.
As for Luzzatto, I never heard of her. And, I can't comment on anything she said because I have never heard or been told what she said.

How about that, I insulted the conservative Don and liberal Whatever all in one post. x:D

Don, you never cease to amaze me. How clever! Listening to some idiot who creates the equivalent of hitting your head with a hammer to take your mind off of the pain in your knee - and you go a whole day and never punch the pain pump. How's the rehab comin?

Don, it sounds like YOU were in pain watching this garbage. DO yourself a favor and stop watching this babble, you're gonna pop a stitch. Find some old movies or a good western to watch, it'll speed up the healing process.

Groooaaaan. Hilary has been campaigning for President for a long time. I think she began her run back when Bill was first outed on the Monica thing. I am ordinarily not a conspiracy theorist, but I think she cut a deal in the back rooms with the big wig dems to stick by him through all the crap, etc etc. They are bound to support her when she formally throws her hat in the ring. After a few years of Dean running the party, the rest of the dems will beg for the comparitive mercy of another Clinton.

That is, of course, if we survive the remaining Bush term.

Equal bashing today.

I never heard of her and couldn't find out much of anything about her online other than she's Hillary's chief of staff, so I can't associate nor disassociate myself with her. CSPAN puts me to sleep no matter who's talking so I won't listen to her. I do like her name though, sounds like a mobster.

Don D

Am I to take that as an Italian slur? Hillary's tent is big enough for mobsters too.

I was trying to make it through the day without a pill, which I have done. I fried chicken wings this morning and just bought a $14 filet wrapped in bacon. I think I'll pass on it and have a can of Tomato soup though for supper. Having nothing to do is hell.

Here you go - to give you something to do. I hope Hillary runs, and wins. Ha ha

I've read speculations on the blogs that it could be Hillary running against Condi Rice. That would be an interesting matchup.

Don D

Both of you are nuts. Nuts. Do you hear me?

ray a

I will go out on a limb and say that in 2008 a third party candidate will have a major impact on the outcome of the election. Am I still nuts?

Don D

Ray: You'll be interested to know that Teresa now says the machines were all rigged, that two brothers own 80% of the voting machines in the US and the election was like that of a banana republic. Bob Beckel, today's James Carville, just announced on Fox that Kerry will surely run in 08. Maybe he's your third party candidate.

Gillian hasn't predicted anything correctly in three years. I suspect he'll even predict his departure to Mexico wrong. x:-)

ritaanz

Who's Teresa?

ray a

Heinz-Kerry - John's lovely wife.

ritaanz

Gillian, when are leaving for Mexico?

Gillian3

We don't know. The later of Oct/Nov this year or the passing of my mother. We have been her caregivers for a number of years. She will be 100 in July. She is very frail but her heart keeps on going.

Since it does not seem to early to the Dems to start campaigning now, I suppose if follows that it is reasonable for us to begin these discussions. Frankly, I am not yet ready for it. I am not sure I have completely caught my breath from the last go round.

JudyT929

Ok now I figured it out ( I don't wake up before Wednesdays). Don is stuck at home recouperating and he's bored and he just wants to start something and nobody is really taking the bite. Sorry Don, take a pill and watch some cartoons, much more fun than C-Span. Hope you get up and around real soon! xhugs
