Hah! We KNEW there was a conspiracy, and MSNBC just confirmed it!

[mloutre]

I just saw the report on the air!

The dysfunctional jet that forced Obama to make an unscheduled landing over the weekend due to maintenance/operational problems with the aircraft was actually a temporary loaner plane that was previously used by *the HRC campaign*!

zOMG! It's SABOTAGE!!11!!!

1. Look at them! Always on the job, digging to find out the important things.

No gossipy, politics-as-pro-wrestling campaign-trail stuff from them.

[jakem]

2. im all for a good conspiracy, but...

:popcorn:

[yardwork]

3. I think it's no coincidence that Obama's trip to NC has been postponed

until after Jesse Helms has been buried.

I think it was the right decision for Obama to make, and his using plane trouble as a reason was a good idea. Deftly handled by the Obama team, as usual.

[sui generis]

4. I saw Hillary myself ripping cables out of the engine with her teeth

then she peed in the forward galley coffeemaker, pitched a loaf the size of my forearm in the cockpit, farted boisterously, sealed the door and left.

I sware I saw the whole thing.

[Alter Ego]

5. You forgot the "HILLDAWG 4 LYFE" graffiti on the outside of the plane.

[Oleladylib]

which could me getting a life could be a good thing!

17. You mean to say...

...nothing out of the ordinary?


OMG, I didn't just type that....oh no. Gonna catch hell....Run!

[Moochy]

20. There's a *Monster* on the wing (strictly off the record)

23. Gremlinz! zOMG!!11!!!

(One does so love those classic pop-cultural allusions when they pop up every now and again, doncha noes...)

[SoCalDem]

24. i thought it was this guy

[mloutre]

25. lol! yes, he does look like he has a serious pod people problem

[DJ13]

6. I heard they had to land because the jet kept trying to move to the right

:shrug:

[woolldog]

7. good one

:rofl:

[mloutre]

9. Actually, it was still moving in the same direction it was heading for all along.

The media just kept changing the camera angles so it looked like that's what it was doing.

Trust me, the pilot and his navigators know damn well what course he's on.

[DJ13]

11. Thats great, but if I end up in Pittsburg when I wanted Boston.....

[mloutre]

12. ...you'd end up having lunch with THK instead of JK.

There are worse things.

:0)

[bunnies]

13. Leno's jokes arent even funny the first time around.

:spank:

[Straight Shooter]

8. That's weird; why are there Kerry/Edwards signs at an Obama rally?

I don't think I've ever seen that before, past presidential campaign signs popping up 4 years later. And just look at how many there are. No coincidence. Weird.

[DJ13]

10. Thats the 2004 convention

[Straight Shooter]

14. The 2004 convention, and there are people with signs advocating Obama for 2008?

It's as if some of them were expecting Kerry to lose. That's even weirder. :7

[mloutre]

15. um, time for new reading glasses

The Obama signs clearly say "http://obama2004.com" at the bottom -- remember, he was running for Senator from Illinois that year.

[Straight Shooter]

18. Yeah, I see the 2004 in the lower left-hand corner.

Incidentally, I was paying no attention to Obama in 2004. I only saw a little bit of the 2004 convention, while I was at a friend's house, just long enough to see Kerry give a salute. Everyone in the house rolled their eyes and laughed.

[mloutre]

19. yeah, and we see how well that worked for them.

But thanks for supporting The Tall Guy even way back then, friend!

[Straight Shooter]

21. Well, we all voted for him!

Anybody but bush, ya know.

[mloutre]

22. true dat. we did.

Though at least some of us did so with a lot more enthusiasm than the "anybody but Bush" meme might imply...

[Alter Ego]

16. I guess someone needs to tell the confused guy in the back row

who's got the "Carter/Mondale 1980" sign.
