on Obama's pick today, from CNN op ed by Stephen Collinson

Obama has admitted that he has sometimes fallen short on the theatrics of the presidency.

But he did not shirk on the stage management Tuesday, as he shepherded Garland into the spring-filled beauty of the White House Rose Garden, the venue for many symbolic and ceremonial presidential moments over the decades.

The President's appearance validated one of the great truths of Washington -- that when someone professes to be above the grubby political impulses of his rivals, he's usually playing the game at a more sophisticated level himself.

In essence, Obama was signaling to the GOP that whatever political price there is to pay for their refusal to consider his pick, the bill is now due.

nice little piece of writing there

next republican nominee for president of the united states

HIATT: Just back to the campaign. You are smart and you went to a good school. Yet you are up there and talking about your hands and the size of private ...

TRUMP: No ...

HIATT: ... your private parts.

TRUMP: No, no. No, no. I am not doing that.

HIATT: Do you regret having engaged in that?

TRUMP: No, I had to do it. Look, this guy. Here's my hands. Now I have my hands, I hear, on the New Yorker, a picture of my hands.

MARCUS: You're on the cover.

TRUMP: A hand with little fingers coming out of a stem. Like, little. Look at my hands. They're fine. Nobody other than Graydon Carter years ago used to use that. My hands are normal hands. During a debate he was losing, and he said, "Oh, he has small hands and therefore, you know what that means." This was not me. This was Rubio that said, "He has small hands and you know what that means." Okay? So, he started it. So, what I said a couple of days later ... and what happened is I was on line shaking hands with supporters, and one of supporters got up and he said, "Mr. Trump, you have strong hands. You have good-sized hands." And then another one would say, "You have great hands, Mr. Trump, I had no idea." I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "I thought you were like deformed, and I thought you had small hands." I had fifty people ... Is that a correct statement? I mean people were writing, "How are Mr. Trump's hands?" My hands are fine. You know, my hands are normal. Slightly large, actually. In fact, I buy a slightly smaller than large glove, okay? No, but I did this because everybody was saying to me, "Oh, your hands are very nice. They are normal." So Rubio, in a debate, said, because he had nothing else to say ... now I was hitting him pretty hard. He wanted to do his Don Rickles stuff and it didn't work out. Obviously, it didn't work too well. But one of the things he said was "He has small hands and therefore, you know what that means, he has small something else." You can look it up. I didn't say it.

nice fargin cars, what's it still 1960 over there?

I posted this on Facebook to shut up one of my dimwitted friends, but I'll post it here too because I am truly mystified by the right's reaction to this:

Why is President Obama being criticized for remaining on a historic diplomatic trip to a country where a US president hasn't visited in 100 years? Was America attacked? No. Are the murdering thugs who committed these atrocities American citizens? No. Is President Obama in constant contact with his national security team? Yes. Is there anything he can personally do in Washington that he can't accomplish 90 miles from American soil? No. But sure, let's fire up Air Force One and haul ass back home just so the optics look better for right wing chickenhawk douchebags.

Seriously, this trip is hugely important and has been in the works for months.  He's supposed to cut and run the minute some iceholes decide to blow up themselves and a few dozen innocent civilians in a country several thousand miles away?

I hate these motherfargers.  A.  Lot.
