No, caune. That's not what I'm saying. The spirit of Camelot (young prez, pretty wife, cute, young children, new hope, new dream, blahblahblah), THAT's what was being exploited. |
So he shoulda gone gray, had his wife get an ugly haircut, age his children and say the last 8 years had been GREAT

UMM? Those INVITED people are SCREENED, VETTED, KNOWN ENTITIES, most of them major power players. Yeah, uh, I guess by that thinking any Secret Service agent or even his own kids could probably attack the president. Except that they WOULDN'T. And people who are of no account who dare to find a way to sneak into the event uninvited are precisely WHO might actually attempt something. Except that assassins probably wouldn't try something with this sort of a failure rate. At least they wouldn't have before this incident. Now, who KNOWS? Most people can't pull off sneaking into a real good party or nightclub. Awards shows are pretty much impossible. Security is TIGHT. But for the President and the First Lady at the White House? I'm sorry, I just have to leave this topic alone. No wonder you guys are all cursing at each other. lol! This to me is WORSE than if they'd gotten through the airspace defenses and buzzed the inaugural ceremony with a private jet painted black with a fucking picture of Osama bin Laden on the fuselage.

Oh pilight. When you're right, you're right. When you're wrong, you're 20000 Leagues Under the Sea of Wrong. One word. Disillusionment. YOU. The VERY political world view you've espoused for the last decade I've been reading your stuff, is a DIRECT result of the disillusionment brought about by the assassination of President Kennedy. You would not have the political perspective you have right now without the assassinations of the 1960s. Your politics is a PRODUCT of the actions of Lee Harvey Oswald. Nothing more destructive short of a successful invasion by another country than the MURDER of the elected leader of this country while in office. And that would be even more true today with the 24 hour news cycle. In the case of Obama, should that ever happen, the disillusionment would be many times as destructive as the Kennedy assassination._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |

Isn't there a guy who's crashed every Superbowl since the first? People crash big time events all the time, google it 
This couple are pros at getting into places to get publicity. It shouldn't have happened but it certainly isn't an occasion to gnash your teeth IMHO

C'mon, caune. You know better than that simplistic reaction. His exploiting of the Kennedy image was a crafted ploy. You know, as in politics as usual. Attach yourself to the hearts and minds of people by comparing yourself to a long dead, well loved figure that you have some surface things in common with (yes, I'm ending the sentance with a preposition). There were dozens, if not hundreds of articles on top of the msm pimping of the idea as well as his campaign feeding the comparison. Ex-ploi-ta-tion. Well, it played its part in getting him this far, but, to paraphrase a hackneyed quote, "Obama's no Jack Kennedy."

Well YOU may have seen it but my Grandparents, who had an entire room devoted to the Kennedys, never got that connection between the Kennedys and the Obamas so excuse me if I think most of it is in your head and nobody elses

Bless your grandparents, but what does that prove? Try a simple Google search and the articles appear. Viola! Now, let's discuss what might be in YOUR head and nowhere else. On second thought.....

Try having a discussion with Fuzzball. You two seem pretty evenly matched and probably have quite a bit in common.

One of their vendors being Market Salamander, the catering company owned by ...drumroll...the Mystics' co-owner, Sheila Johnson. The Salahis allegedly stiffed Market Salamander to the tune of $300,000.

Another thing they did was list several businesses as sponsors of their polo event & when the Post reporter called, the "sponsors" didn't know anything about it.

Wow, this thread was a mess. A lot of names I miss around here though (and a couple I don't).
The actual news story seems awfully quaint after what we have all been through in the last 12 years.

Doesn’t it though. Not as much to get excited about back then I guess. Yikes. I can’t even conceive of trying to keep up a running conversation here on just one topic, the pandemic. And that’s hardly the only thing going on these days._________________ Every woman who has ever been presented with a career/sex quid pro quo in the entertainment industry should come forward and simply say, “Me, too.” - jammer The New York Times 10/10/17 |
