Newsweek editor mocks "latte-drinking" liberals

[mcablue]

In a column begging Cheney to run for President, Newsweek editor Jon Meacham said yesterday:

"But I think we should be taking the possibility of a Dick Cheney bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 more seriously, for a run would be good for the Republicans and good for the country. (The sound you just heard in the background was liberal readers spitting out their lattes.)"

But Glenn Greenwald reminds Meacham who REALLY loves lattes, according to Starbucks employees: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2009/02/weve_found_one_of_dick.html?wprss=sleuth

1. I don't get it,, I drink lattes, and support the 2nd amendment, at the same time

and a progressive, moderate,

[havocmom]

26. LOL Strong bones and strong defenses

Makes it easier to battle wingers ;)

2. what an idiot

Cheney has a better chance of being brought up on war crimes in the Hague than being elected President.

I'm a liberal, pretty damn far left - and I don't drink lattes - even if I cared to, I couldn't afford such a pointless luxury item.

[Zoeisright]

14. Yeah, just what we need in the White House - a war criminal.

I hardly think that the reincarnation of Mr. Potter with an approval rating around 12% has much of a chance being elected dogcatcher, let along POTUS.

3. They love bullshit stereotypes, don't they? Who can afford a damn latte these

days? Repub bankers getting ridiculous bonuses off of OUR money. :puke:

[MinneapolisMatt]

4. that is so...

1990s LOL.

[eShirl]

5. Shall I now mock "corn pone- eating" conservatives?

I have never drunk latte, and I'm not even sure what corn pone is. But they both sound like stereotyping slurs to me, so what the heck.

[StarfarerBill]

6. I just hope they don't spill their lattes in their limos while going to cash their welfare checks.

Sigh...

7. Tired old stereotypes that didn't work for them in the 2008 election.

Yet they still drag that sort of crap out. Sad and funny at the same time.

[Gold Metal Flake]

8. Republickers NEVER forget an insult.

They repeat them over and over. They do it because they think it's funny to insult people. This should not surprise you. "Democrat party" is, after all, at least 60 years old.

[Lex]

They are still touching themselves about Chappaquiddick from 40 yrs ago.

It's pathetic.

[treestar]

9. Why would we spit them out?

We'd be happy at the prospect of such a weak, unpopular opponent, one whose policies the nation has soundly rejected.

[itsrobert]

10. I drink Diet Pepsi n/t

n/t

[HughMoran]

11. I would spit mine out onto his face

So yes, I agree.

[Vickers]

12. No, dumbass, the sound you heard was liberals laughing their asses off!

:rofl:

Run, Dick, run!

[surrealAmerican]

15. Exactly.

There's probably no republican more hated than Cheney. It's a liberal's dream to have him run.

[devilgrrl]

13. Personally, I never got the appeal of lattes - when are they going to give up on that bullshit?

:boring:

[seeinfweggos]

20. holy moly that's a funny pic.

[depakid]

16. Just another worthless American media whore

Dime a dozen and not even worth considering.

[Arkana]

17. Meacham needs to stick to books.

His political views suck donkey balls.

It's too bad, because "American Lion" was amazing.

[Blue_Tires]

18. three words to Meacham: FUCKIN' BRING IT

I'll call the bluff on his masturbatory fantasy every day of the week and twice on Sundays...There is more scandal shit on him than the rest of the GOP pretenders combined (which is really saying something)...

[eShirl]

19. "Because Cheney is a man of conviction"

No, not yet anyway.

[seeinfweggos]

23. yeh, he needs to be indicted first.

[Berry Cool]

24. I so hope that someday he becomes a man of conviction.

Several convictions, preferably. With consecutive sentences.

[mitchum]

21. As opposed to sister-fucking conservatives?

[FarLeftFist]

22. I'm actually sipping a latte while I read this.

[SpiralHawk]

25. More anti-American mindf*ck reality spin from a republicon hack

as usual. He probably was guzzling a latte as he wrote this, for republicons are truly The Latter Day Pharisees.

[Iggo]

27. I drink Caramel Macchiattos, so....BURN!
