Post Number 1700: Obama Gets The Crap Treatment on the Phone By a Congresswoman..


OOPS! It's Upside Down, Mr. President - Elect......
If you live in South Florida, maybe you shouldn't expect to get much help in the next four years or so. If it does happen, you can blame it on Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. All together now.... WHO ?????????
Ros-Lehtinen is a Republican congresswoman from Florida, and she insulted Barack Obama when the President- Elect called her this week to discuss some issues. Not once, but TWICE !!! Apparently, Ros-Lehtinen thought the call was from a local radio station that often makes crank phone calls, even on the second one, when Chief of Staff Rahm Enamuel called as an intermediary for Obama. Still no go for Ros-Lehtinen.
Finally, she got a call from Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Howard Berman - who Ros-Lehtinen does know, and he let her know that she did indeed hang up twice on the leader of the Free World. Sounds pretty bad when you put it that way, doesn't it? Good Luck to those of you in South Florida getting anything !!

1700...congrats.

I just posted about Ileana. I have always thought she was an idiot. She's been in Congress for almost twenty years and has been a staple of tv shows since I started paying attention to politics.

She's always on Maher's shows and comes across about as informed and engaged as W. Except when Cuba is mentioned, then she simply comes across as Randy Savage's illegitimate Cuban lovechild. You probably remember when she came out for assasinating Castro in that documentary, then tried to say the director spliced footage to creat her comments. The director sent the raw footage to news outlets proving she was full of it.

Note to self...never lie when there are masters lying around.

I stopped lying decades ago, when I realized I was pretty at it..

I had the same Hitler-Carolina post after last year's loss, but I think this year's was even better.

That movie (Downfall) is pretty damn good. The guy playing Hitler does a great job. I mean by the end, I'm pretty sure he actually was a raging maniac hopped out of his mind on speed.

Kinda like the end of 'W' - minus the amphetamines, of course....That's what Ollie Stone needed in the movie - W and Laura bunkered down in the basement of the White House !!!

No, no. It really happened. I was there... The guy doesn't know which end of the phone you talk into, and he eats his hot dogs from the middle , like the Sonic Guy...

Reminds me of the scene in The American President, when Annette Bening gets the call and hangs up on Mike Douglas. Excellent scene...I would have sent you a video but couldn't find one.
