“Bosniaks” come from Hawaii or some crazy place like that, though, so whatevs. Joe Biden should talk about the genocides he stopped in Myrtle Beach.
Copypasta’d from JMM Amalgamated Web Content, LLC. Here are two kittens for originality:
The Poor Man Institute: two posts in a row without furries or Fat Zardoz or related hybrid internet horrors. Next week we salute Adult Babies, people who think they are for-reals vampires, and the music of Chris”Leave Brittney Alooooone!!!” Crocker.

That was a spectacular embarassment. Goodwin and Rose appeared to think they were at some sort of agonizingly arch cocktail party and Cokie Roberts, it was glaringly obvious, had just come from one. That poor woman from the BBC looked as if she’d wandered in from reality by accident and had to talk reeeeeally slowly so the natives could understand her, which, apparently, they could not.
Ladies and gentlemen, our nation’s elite. Tip your waiter.
October 3, 2008 at 7:12 am
I would have said “Bosnian” but Joe is from an area that has immigrants from Bosnia. Wiki says both are used.
Cokie should stick to the Georgetown cocktail party circuit.
October 3, 2008 at 7:49 am
No, Bosniak is a real word. It just sounds like a made-up word.
“Bosniak” refers to an ethnic/cultural group, who live in several different places in the Balkans.
“Bosnian” refers to people who live in Bosnia.
It’s like “Hispanic” vs. “Spanish.”

I know a guy who worked on elections somewhere in the former Yugoslavia.
The first time he sent an email with that word, I asked him if it was a typo. Nope, real word.
October 3, 2008 at 7:57 am
I like black cherry Wishniak. Does that count?
October 3, 2008 at 8:34 am
Cokie is insufferable. Charlie is insufferable. Doris is insufferable.
No wonder I missed the show.
October 3, 2008 at 8:44 am
Last night I looked up Bosniak after Biden said it, and told my SO: “anyone calling it a gaffe will end up looking stupid.” I should have said “more stupid.”
Roberts should treat herself to a swell spa/rehabilitation home until after November.

Maniac, I’m a rhyme brainiac
Living on the edge of a razor
Remember that
October 3, 2008 at 9:17 am
But what about the part where Biden said “Hezbollah” when he meant “Syria”, so his sentence MADE NO SENSE? What about that, smart boys (and Julia)?
October 3, 2008 at 10:20 am
Have you heard? Cokie Roberts is a Class A moron. It comes from inbreeding, I think.

Shorter lemuel pitkin: Oy, why won’t you guys talk about a whole other topic?
October 3, 2008 at 11:38 am
Remind me, what’s the HTML irony tag again?
October 3, 2008 at 11:47 am
Still recovering from the genocidal crimes of the 1990s, the Bosniacks now have to face the added insult of having the mention their very existence regarded as a gaffe by people who have no idea who they are.
October 3, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Remind me, what’s the HTML irony tag again?
Don’t sweat it, lemuel pitkin. It wasn’t needed.
October 3, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Look at this poll,
http://www.surveyusa.com/client/PollReport.aspx?g=8850c391-0f5d-42d1-b11e-7840f0ab15de
Now, notice that in this supposed revelation that the debate was perceived as a tie by LVs in Ohio. Survey fucking USA only received respondents aged 75 or older, read the internals. They don’t tell anyone this in their press release.
My friends, that is RAT FUCKING SUPREME.
October 3, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Please tell me I’m wrong. I fucking beg you.
October 3, 2008 at 4:09 pm
Next week we salute Adult Babies, people who think they are for-reals vampires, and the music of Chris”Leave Brittney Alooooone!!!” Crocker.
Careful with that shit, or this site will turn into Something Awful (new and improved, with more Airwolf).
October 3, 2008 at 4:21 pm
Remind me, what’s the HTML irony tag again?
Deprecated by reality. Or was that the satire tag?
October 3, 2008 at 5:01 pm
Oh right, satire. I remember that.

Kittens photographed by Bob Guccione. Now that’s just not right.
One day we’re going to find ourselves spending our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children about a time in America, back in the day, when men and women and kittens were free.
October 3, 2008 at 7:06 pm
Sorry, TeH Editors, your chris cobbler or whatever is soooooo last century.
This, my dear, is da bombz:
October 3, 2008 at 8:12 pm
It was satire? Damn, my bad.
Kléber Raposadinho:
Ave Ratigula maximus! In other Google News, the news outlets on Google News somehow decided they’d forgo any sort of actual polling, and just make up their own shoot about who won and who lost. Liberal media bias, here we come.
October 4, 2008 at 12:35 am
[...] in this debate. Not surprisingly, some people simply refuse to accept that — Daily Kos and Kléber Raposadinho just caught some hilarious attempts to claim that Biden didn’t win. :-B « [...]

Charlie is insufferable.
This is so right.
I cannot tell you how many otherwise sensible people I know watch The Charlie Rose Show religiously and think he’s the only sensible person on television.
I think he’s Larry King with a slightly better wardrobe and a slightly more upscale Rolodex.
Now that Pumpkinhead is dead, he’s the most overrated interviewer on TV.

aHA! So *that*s why McCain dropped out of Michigan!
Because there was just NO WAY that Palin was ever going to get the right term for the people in the upper peninsula. Better not to even try.
Next up, McCain pulls out of Indiana. Because, you know, Obama. Basketball. Indiana.
Just some ‘friendly’ advice to the McCain campaign: they really should distribute yard signs with:
” McCain
you kids get
off my lawn!”
And watch them just spring up all over midwest suburbia!
October 4, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Because there was just NO WAY that Palin was ever going to get the right term for the people in [Michigan's] upper peninsula.Ha! Nice try! She’s THIS close to a Yooper in speech, thought, mannerism and dress. Maybe they are pulling out of Michigan because Escanaba’s a sure thing.

If we’re posting 80s videos, here’s one of the most memorable ever. Saw it only once 20+ yrs ago and never forgot it. Tony Powers, Don’t Nobody Move (This is a Heist):
And a brand new song from Tony, a scathing shot at Bush-Cheney-McCain-Palin:
October 4, 2008 at 11:20 pm
lemuel -
And don’t forget, as Unrivaled-Genius-and-Asshole-Buddy-of-Newt-Gingrich Tony Blanklook said: Biden said Article I of Teh Constitution delineates the powers of the Executive Branch, when EVERYBODY KNOWS Article I is for Legislative, and Article II is Executive!!!
So that negates ALLALLALL of Biden’s points about McCain’s lies!!
SO THERE!!

This reminds me of the Taxi episode where the gang was gathered around the television watching a debate on whether citizens of Delaware would be called “Delawareians” or “Delawareites”.
And Roberts, Rose and Goodwin are all auditioning for the part of Rev. Jim.
October 6, 2008 at 8:28 am
Wazzupistan?

Fuggedaboudit! It should be Delawarii
last two syllables pronounced: “ee-eye”.
Thank you very much.

Thank you for the lovely kitties in lieu of Fat Zardoz. Thank you thank you thank you!
