Lost irony

James_Protzman — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 10:38:59 -0500

The nerve of the twerp to complain about another person complaining about a possible violation of public policy by the Catholic Church. Lil' Pat is definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

"The parent company of the hospital has been a big spender on health care lobbying."

Of course they have, Ben. Here's a few details about that parent company, Carolinas Health Care:

James E.S. Hynes, Chairman (former Chairman Hynes, Inc., a major broker/seller of pharmaceuticals)

William C. Cannon, Jr., Vice Chairman (Pillowtex. 'Nuff said)

Malcolm E. Everett III (Wachovia)

G. Kennedy Thompson (Wachovia)

Bishop George E. Battle, Jr. (God)

Amy Woods Brinkley (Bank of America)

Edward J. Brown III (Bank of America)

Ralph A. Barnhardt (Citizens Savings Bank)

Thomas M. Belk, Jr. (banker with huge wardrobe)

Rush S. Dickson III (rich enough to be a bank)

Willis Frank Dowd IV (Bank of America)

J. Knox Hillman, Jr. (insurance)

Thomas C. Nelson (Morgan Stanley, Belk)

Edward K. Prewitt, Jr. (SunTrust)

Felix S. Sabates, Jr. (Banking Commission)

Ronald H. Wrenn (investor/advisor)

Bankers don't usually swarm like this unless there's money. A lot of money. I saw it on the Discovery Channel...

Ah. The name Coble in Foxx story threw me.

Any relation to Howard?

Coble inexplicably took to her Gmail account and curiously posted this brazen update, bragging: “Office beers. on taxpayer time. you’re welcome, fightin 5th district.”

I see Courtney Coble's Twitter account just twittered into oblivion.

Think the "appropriate disciplinary action" ends there?

Foxx spokesman Aaron Groer told Shenan: “We are looking into this matter to figure out what happened. Once we’ve established the facts, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.”

Please keep all us teabaggers up to date on this blatant abuse of taxpayer time and money by Virginia Foxx's staff.

To be fair, our buddy the "Democratic operative" didn't claim to BE Stam, and he didn't keep the name fer long before changing it to "notactuallyskipstam."

He's a good boy, our J.R.

After great soul searching and contemplation, I have decided that you are in fact the new voice of the Democratic change we need to represent the Great State of North Carolina.

Well, thanks WWF! Coming from a self-proclaimed liberal for McCrory and good standing real Democrat like you, that's quite an endorsement!

But I have to inform you, you're already in luck. Democrats run everything here already! No change required.

Just that Burr guy, but he's his own worst enemy and gone already.

Thanks for checking back in!

After great soul searching and contemplation, I have decided that you are in fact the new voice of the Democratic change we need to represent the Great State of North Carolina. You obviously have the commitment, "passion" and Democratic sincerity to lead our State's future. Washington needs you; North Carolina needs your voice to be heard. So I only hope that we will see, shortly, "Gosh '10 for Senate."

This will give you the face to face forum to truly debate the issues you have with the policy decisions of Senator Burr. The chance to lead, rather than bellyache, is yours. Please let me be the first to contribute to Gosh for Senate or better well known as "Run, Gosh, Run."

God speed, sockpuppet.

Don't you ever go a changin' those parachute pants Gosh. We love you just as you are! Seriously, sockpuppet, we do.

Thanks WWF!

Always nice to hear back from a long lost liberal for McCrory. Keep it real my Brother.

Burr and McHenry need your Democratic sincerity!

But at the end of the day, it is Gosh that always makes us a-twitter. His brilliance, his compassion, his myopic wit add just that "je ne sais pas quoi" we all need after a long day. A long day of learning our paychecks will be just a bit lighter and our health premiums just a bit heavier. Don't you ever go a changin' those parachute pants Gosh. We love you just as you are! Seriously, sockpuppet, we do.

I wonder if Gosh could make a post without a hate attack or a smear against someone. I doubt it.

Yeah the same thing happened to me the other day and I was logged in as Gosh and you can only imagine my fear -

What happened CO? Were you in danger of making sense or finally winning a debate and didn't know what to do?

For what's it's worth, you made the right choice being you. I believe it's nature, not nurture. Regardless, I support your choice to be irrelevant.

It worked! Sorry to be a pain. Even though I live online, sometime I trip over my own name.

Much appreciated.
