Even Andrea Mitchell has her Dog-whistle Limit

[cthulu2016]

Romney surrogate Jon Sununu said that Obama is too lazy to do his job.

Andrea Mitchell gives him an opportunity to take it back. Winces when he doesn't.

1. Jon Sununu

I'd step in dog shit to avoid that fuck

[Aerows]

3. He pretty much is dog shit

so you would have to sidestep Jon Sununu to avoid stepping in Jon Sununu.

"Damnit, DainBramaged made me get Jon Sununu on my shoe, now I have to hose it off!"

[ananda]

2. Boy the racism is out bigtime now that...

... Romney got away with bullying and taking over the
stage from the Black man.

[tavernier]

4. Yeah, he's projecting.

That fat cow hasn't moved his blubber for anything other than a place in line at the Krispy Kreme counter in many, many years.

[trof]

5. Yeah, them lazy colored folks.

Just sittin' on the porch eatin' watermelon.

[flamingdem]

6. True test is if she has him on again

though I must say he benefited us more than rmoney today

[retread]

7. Dog whistle? Shit, that was an air raid siren!!

[TroglodyteScholar]

8. Two weeks ago a rightie coworker who doesn't like Romney...

...said to me that Obama was lazy. He couldn't say why. Or wouldn't.

Finally, all that I could conjure up was, "Is it because he's Mexican?"

(Before the flames start, that was big, big sarcasm)

Some awkward laughter and then end of conversation.

Anyone else been using this "lazy" nonsense in the media before Sununu, or is my coworker just racist and good at hiding it (up until then, anyway...)?

[madashelltoo]

9. She gets one right.

As a rule, I can't stand the woman. However, she called this one right and I have to give her her due. He's an antiquated shithead who should never be allowed out in good company. Hell, he shouldn't be allowed out at all. Ravenous son-of-a-bitch.

[Wednesdays]

10. Ugh

He's not even being subtle.

[FSogol]

11. Didn't Sununu resign in disgrace for using govt funds for personal things?

Did he ever pay that back? Why does a common crook get so much air time?

[JHB]

14. Since posting this never gets old when Pazuzu-Sununu shows up...

SUNUNU RESIGNS UNDER FIRE AS CHIEF AIDE TO PRESIDENT; CITES FEAR OF HURTING BUSH

By ANDREW ROSENTHAL
Published: December 04, 1991


***
Mr. Sununu's political problems began shortly after he arrived in Washington. By the time he resigned, stories were rife about the fear with which he was treated by subordinates, who often accused him in private of meeting their suggestions with scorn.

The uproar over the 1990 budget deal, in which Mr. Sununu was seen by many Republican lawmakers as a malevolent influence, exacerbated Mr. Sununu's troubles. In the same fashion, he was badly wounded by disclosures of his extensive use of military aircraft for personal and political trips.

More recently, Mr. Sununu was blamed for the lack of direction in Mr. Bush's domestic policy staff, which was unable for months to present the President with a consensus about what he should do to spur the economy.

Then Mr. Sununu committed what many in Washington considered the unpardonable sin: he made his boss look foolish by saying that Mr. Bush had "ad-libbed" a remark about lowering credit card interest rates, when in fact the comments had been written into the President's speech.

I especially note that part about "unable for months to present the President with a consensus about what he should do to spur the economy". And about his ueber-mooching off the taxpayers for your travel.

What was he saying about "lazy" and "disengaged"?

[FSogol]

17. Kicking your reply!

[HughBeaumont]

18. He jet-setted and corporate-junketed on taxpayer dollars and paid very little of it back.

Rotten pig bastard.

[spanone]

12. sununu is a clown...a pathetic clown

[upi402]

13. Wow she tore his ass up medieval style.

not!

a chance to take it back ?
a 'wince'?

Faux news 2

[Raine]

15. He's completely senile. I can't imagine the judgement

anyone letting him be their spokesman.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

16. If Obama is lazy, what does that make Mitt Romney?

He hasn't had a job in at lest six years and has been lying around the pool living off investments.
