A Day in the life of a Democratic Operative
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 10/26/2008 12:46:30

We awake before the sun is up. I drank way to much Moet Chandon last night, and my head is pounding, my throat is sore. I must have been screaming, again. I just hope I didn’t make a fool of myself, running around naked and ranting insanely to a crowded room. My rants never go far and eventually end up with me curled in the fetal position in the corner of the ballroom, weeping. There is no telling what I’ll do during these black tie fundraisers.

Barry is still asleep. Once again, we’ve slept in the same bed. He must have been as drunk as me. No. We aren’t having an affair, I’m not his type, when he’s not with his wife, Michelle – who he fondly calls “Button Head” – he’s with some 14-year-old super model. Mostly he goes for the ones from South America.

I get up and phone the hotel’s private valet to alert the chef for our breakfast. The usual for Barry: 3 egg whites with smoked Salmon, Fresh fruit and yogurt, and Veuve de Vernay & Orange Juice. For me: A shitake mushroom omelet with applewood smoked salmon, Biscuits and a Bloody Mary with a shot of 40-year-old Glenfiddich. Of course we’ll need plenty of coffee and some painkillers for our headache.

Later in the day, we are off to Indiana. Barry has to make a speech before we fly to Hawaii. While he gets the masses riled up – little do they know he’s taken a hit of X before speaking to them – I gather the things we’ll need for breaking into the Hawaii Division of Records.

Our goal, steal the phony birth certificate that was made in haste several years ago. If this lawsuit by that Philly dude - Berg - pans out, then people will find out that Barry was actually born in Kenya, making him ineligible for the Presidency. Soon, they’ll piece together the entire plot: Take control of the US Government, convert to Socialism, then Communism, then just turn what’s left over to Al-Queda.

Here’s my list of supplies: Climbing harnesses, rope and biners for the scale down from the rooftop, tools include a small hammer, a small but sturdy pry bar, 2 flashlights, and lock picks, 6 bottles of Moet, an 86 year old single malt, 4 tabs of Blue Dragon acid and a vile of morphine, just for good measure. I also pack Barry’s dark charcoal Yves Saint Laurent Suit ($9,075) and his Ferragamo Leather shoes ($2,900) and his new Franck Muller watch ($16,000) for the partying we’ll do afterwards. For me, I’ll stay more casual in my haut couture Nicolas Ghesquiere gown ($30,000), Prada shoes ($4,600) and Prenza Schouler handbag ($2,995). The DNC and the American people have been good to us!


We take the plane to Hawaii and we are all set. I tell Barry the plans and he seems calm and cool, though it’s hard to tell since he’s winding down from the Ecstasy and smoking a joint for the ride. I hate flying, so I hit the booze and Xanax to calm my nerves.

I wake up. What happened? Did we do the break-in? Was it a success? I look over at the bed. Barry is there with three models, two women and a man. Bottles are all over the room, Secret Service agents doze in chairs.

I get up and look for a paper – any clue at to what and where – I find one. DAMN! It’s Friday! Damn Barry and his partying! We never broke into the Courthouse to get the records! Dean will be pissed! He’ll probably cut our allowance.

But wait, what’s this little blurb in the back of the paper?

Obama Birth Certificate Lawsuit thrown out.

U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick had denied Berg's request for a temporary restraining order on Aug. 22 but had not ruled on the merits of the suit until yesterday.

Obama and the Democratic National Committee had asked Surrick to dismiss Berg's complaint in a court filing on Sept. 24.

They said that Berg's claims were "ridiculous" and "patently false," that Berg had "no standing" to challenge the qualifications of a candidate for president because he had not shown the requisite harm to himself.

Surrick agreed.

In a 34-page memorandum and opinion, the judge said Berg's allegations of harm were "too vague and too attenuated" to confer standing on him or any other voters.

Surrick ruled that Berg's attempts to use certain laws to gain standing to pursue his claim that Obama was not a natural-born citizen were "frivolous and not worthy of discussion."

The judge also said the harm Berg alleged did "not constitute an injury in fact" and Berg's arguments to the contrary "ventured into the unreasonable."


Lucky! Saved again!

Gosh Velveeta,

I realize that your tongue is firmly planted in your cheek as you write this, but I worry that the scene that you portrayed in this post is just a skosh too close to the wet dreams of those idiot right-winger racists who are coming out of the woodwork in droves and would love to use a liberal blog and quote the following:

I'm just sayin'... Wow another scathing piece by VJ, one that I hope won't come back and bite us in the ass :P

I was in a rant and rave mood this morning - check it out.

Morning, folks!



Back from a succesful overnight at the Girl Scout Camp...we even ran into some actual Girl Scouts on our night-hike.



A fine time was had by all, and I even came home smelling like smoke, which makes it a "real" trip as far as I'm concerned. (Cabin trips with gas heat don't count; we had a big fireplace that we kept raging all night.)



Anyway...

Good afternoon everyone. I get up just in time to catch some football before I have to go to work.



Raine, are you going to catch the Giants game today? Most CBS stations are taking the game at 4 PM so it may be on in your area.



And a thumbs up to Velvetta and mfaye today.

Comment by velveeta jones on 10/26/2008 16:19:01
Faye, I wouldn't worry, the RWers already believe just about anything! They truly believe Obama is a Muslim terrorist......... google Phil Berg. He really thinks that Obama has a fake birth certificate!



I refuse to coddle these asswipes. If they want to roll around in the muddy pool of idiocy, let them! After all, these are the same people who spell Moron "Moran". Hell's Bells!



I'll take satire anyday.

Poor Sarah...







John McCain said Sunday that that a third of the $150,000 the Republican National Committee spent on clothes, makeup and accessories for his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and her family has been “given back.”



“She lives a frugal life. She and her family are not wealthy. She and her family were thrust into this and there was some — and some third of that money is given back. The rest will be donated to charity,” McCain said in an interview on NBC’s "Meet the Press."



“She is a role model to millions and millions and millions of Americans.”



The story, first reported by Politico, swept the political world during the past week. Pundits speculated on the political repercussions of wearing designer duds from Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue while the economy is in crisis, wondering if it undercut Palin's all-American, “hockey mom” image. Some Republican donors were outraged about where their contributions had gone, while campaign finance lawyers wondered about the legality of the purchases.



On Thursday, McCain told local Florida reporters that the clothes would be donated to charity.



"She needed clothes at the time,” he said, explaining the decision.



Palin gave a similar explanation in a Friday interview, telling the Chicago Tribune that "that is not who we are."



"That whole thing is just, bad!" she said. "Oh, if people only knew how frugal we are.”



Palin said most of the clothes haven’t been taken out of the belly of her campaign plane. The clothes are not worth $150,000, said Palin, and would be given back, auctioned off or donated to charity.



"It's kind of painful to be criticized for something when all the facts are not out there and are not reported," she said.

McCain, not too happy with Sarah's answer...

Where have you been?



The McCain campaign DID push the story.

This is just one account out there.

As Greg Sargent reported yesterday, McCain Pennsylvania communications director Peter Feldman pushed reporters on a highly incendiary version of Todd's hoax -- providing reporters with quotes from the fictitious attacker and telling them the the "B" scratched on Todd's face stood for "Barack." As the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson aptly put it, Feldman's actions showed "not just a willingness to believe it but an eagerness to incite a ... racial backlash against the Obama campaign."



Our reporting did not find any direct evidence that the McCain campaign's national headquarters played a role pushing the story.



However, the national campaign has now come forward and lied about what happened in Pennsylvania. McCain campaign spokesman Brian Rogers has now told NBC that alleged quotes from the McCain campaign in early reports of the story were actually the product of "sloppy reporting" and that they were actually quotes from the Pittsburgh police.



This is simply not credible.



Initial reports specifically quote the McCain campaign. And at least two sources involved in the contemporaneous reporting have come forward and said on the record that the quotes came directly from the McCain campaign. To believe that two separate local news organizations made the identical mistake with the same quotes and are now both covering it up is simply not credible. But that is what Rogers is now claiming.



The McCain campaign's after-the-fact lie about its role in this hoax makes it essential that it provide a complete and honest account of both the local and national campaign's role. As I said above, we did not find direct evidence of the national McCain campaign pushing this story. But Gov. Palin did call Todd after the purported attack, as did Sen. McCain. And news of these calls was provided to the press.




She is not a wackadoo. She is a well known college republican.
