McCain/Palin

[cassiesmom]

I am ready for the election to be over. Obama's "post-election rally" in Grant Park has been all over the news for the past few days. The city was trying to limit the number of people in the park who don't have tickets - and then Da Mayor got on the air and told everyone to just come on down. Is the Obama campaign going to pay the city for the cost of extra police, EMTs, and city workers to handle the street closures? I kinda doubt it. What if he wins? I work in downtown Chicago - do I get Wednesday off? I doubt that too.

Marigold2, I'm sorry to tell you they don't remind me of cartoon characters. But I thought Gov. Palin was pretty funny on SNL.

Thanks,
Elyse

For people who like SNL, it's on now on channel 3. And it's funny as all get out. Fudd funny/

Interesting thread. I haven't read any of the other threads on the debates or candidates, so I'm not aware of any possible negativity or hatred on marigold's part. I guess what I don't get is how referring to someone as "dumb and bothersome" is supposed to be funny. And, call me strange, but I can totally see how someone might not be pleased to be told they remind people of Elmer Fudd. Ah, well.

Uhh. I'm at a loss for words. Not because of the original post, but at the responses. For the record, I didn't see any harm in the OP's post. I felt as if she was trying to make light out of a serious situation and people got their panties all up in a bunch. It's about time for this election to be over, and this thread proves that.

Agreed 100%, well said Ashley.

Amen Kay. I know the election is serious stuff, but lighten up people.

If the worst thing that happens to someone is that they are referred to as a cartoon character, they are getting off light!

I can't really see taking any 'attack' on a public figure seriously. I don't think Marigold meant anything by it.

I thought it was kind of funny. Maybe some of the people who replied are too young to get the references.

But the "dumb and bothersome" reference was perhaps overdone. SP reminds me more of Tweety Bird - pretty to look at, but always causing trouble for the cat.

Dear President-Elect Obama,

Please keep in mind throughout the next four years that there were almost as many of us who didn't vote for you as those who did.

Thank you,
One who voted Republican

Agreed. You think this is bad, guys? Seriously have you seen some of the things on SNL/Mad TV? They are all probably used to getting made fun of by now.

Actually yes, he is footing the bill; or should I say the campaign is; the cost of renting the space, the clean up; the overtime/extra cost for city workers, police, etc.


From the Chicago Tribune:

Daley Puts Obama Rally Tab At $2 Million


Mayor Richard Daley put the tab at $2 million today for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's Grant Park rally on election night.
Obama's campaign is footing the bill.

I had no idea that anyone would be upset at my sad attempt at humor.
So I am going to try again.

I'd picture Deadeye Dick more of the Elmer Fudd type, myself.
