To get this picture they panicked a major city. They could have just done it with Photoshop.

Okay, who the hell is voting for this stuff? I’m revoking your voter registrations, people….
No kidding. Pundit Kitchen is getting less and less loltastic these days. I think it’s all the partisan readers that have joined recently. Because if they’re actually registered to a party, they’re probably too stupid to have a sense of humor.
In my opinion, the reason it’s stupid is because it’s not really THEIR joke. The one who posted it thinks it’s funny because they STOLE it from Saturday Night Live on NBC.
Seth Meyers during weekend update showed about 8 other images of where Air Force One could have been by photoshopping them.
Stolen idea. Voting Fail.
John Stewart also pointed this out already.
Whah whah whaaaaaaah…
Remember John Stewart before the laugh-track ?!?
sorry, i don’t watch the idiots on tv…
so this is a lol
Don’t be silly. The joke was made BEFORE SNL made it. Jeez. Like, online. The day after, when it became known that it was definitely just a photo-op. Whoop-de-doo; most jokes are old hat by the time Meyers or other TV personalities do them now. Fail fail.
SNL stole that from EVERYONE who was telling a version of that joke all week.
Stolen Idea Fail…
I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a hundred times again.
We got bots, people.
I think this is ‘shopped.
Now THAT would have been a FUNNY caption! :0
LOL! Indeed!
AIR FORCE ONE
Sasha and Malia are soooo grounded…
Malia is such a terrible name.
Who the hell are you, Rush Limbaugh? Will you call her a dog next?
Have they named the Water Torture Dog yet?
Have they named teh Water Tor ture Dog yet?
Hey, that’s a good one. (As far as meta-commentary, not, obviously, calling children names. Not that I should need to say that.)
Limbaugh never called Chelsea a dog – see the actual transcript. Urban legend fail.
Slan agat – the president already made that joke about Sasha and Malia being grounded for that joyride. Tsk tsk. Granted it was a funny one (so I’m sure he didn’t write it) but at least give a hat tip, eh?
I still think it was the president coked out of his mind. Has anyone released a manifest?
Because the president isn’t allowed to be funny?
This is where its obvious you were not aware of him pre-presidential election. He has, for a very long time, been a charismatic individual with an interesting sense of humor.
He’s got a beautiful delivery, and he’s got a gift for speaking, but honestly, he needs better joke writers who can match his cadence. He came of as stilted in a lot of the jokes, while some of them were gold. The Sasha and Malia one was pretty bad. The timing was just terrible.
I did love the Boehner joke, though…
Boehner as a person of color – ha! “Not one found in nature, however!”
military plane – you’ve got to request it, and expect it to be redacted.
From Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting:
Personal Attacks
LIMBAUGH: Limbaugh constantly tells his audience that he doesn’t make personal or ad hominem attacks. To a caller who had a problem with his personalized attacks, Limbaugh responded with a denial: “Give me a specific example: who, what, when, where, and what exactly did I say?” (Radio show, 2/18/94)
REALITY: One hour before that call, Limbaugh was telling his audience that a 5,000-year-old man found buried in ice–pictured on the cover of Time magazine–was really Sally Jesse Raphael: “This is just what Sally Jesse Raphael looks like without makeup!”
MORE REALITY: Columnist Molly Ivins reported (Arizona Republic 10/17/93) this incident from Limbaugh’s TV show–”Here is a Limbaugh joke: Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?” And he puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton. Chelsea Clinton is 13 years old.
Sorry, Portland Mark, the Molly Ivins report is absolutely, 100% WRONG, and in fact it makes NO sense in light of the topic that was on the television show that day. First of all, the Clintons were NOT in the White House – the Bushes were. This happened on his television show November 6, 1992, you see. The subject was “in/out” – one of those puff pieces on what’s in and what’s out this year. Regarding the White House, what was on its way OUT was Millie the White House Dog and what was IN was a “cute kid.” Rush asked for a picture to be shown of the “cute kid” whom none of us had really seen much, and the picture of Millie was still up. Rush said, “No no no no, we want a picture of the kid, this isn’t…the kid…” (it’s in the transcript) The person responsible was fired, even though the fact was the worst Limbaugh could be accused of was calling Millie a “cute kid.” Socks was persona non grata – no one had ever heard of Socks and he wasn’t in the White House, duh. Over the following days the game of “telephone” did its job as the press went from “I bet that picture messup was on purpose” to “Wait, maybe he was calling her a DOG” and has since mutated into this complete farce you and Molly report today, complete with Limbaugh holding up pictures manually and adding Socks the cat.
Link (containing other links, duh.)
No go, PM – some of us were there and saw it all happen and the transcripts are still available. In fact, anyone willing to pay the money can still buy the damn episode. It was then that I knew that FAIR was indeed a lying, left-biased organization and I do not put any stock in what they say any more than you would in Rush himself. Jeesh.
Also, we’ve done this topic before, and I *believe* you are well aware of that fact. Which would make you a lying sh*t-stirrer, which wouldn’t surprise me.
“Sorry, Portland Mark, the Molly Ivins report is absolutely, 100% WRONG, and in fact it makes NO sense in light of the topic that was on the television show that day.”
You saying it’s wrong doesn’t make it so. Also, in October of 1993, Clinton was indeed president. Nice try though.
Ok, Mr./Mrs./Ms. Ditto-head.
I happened to have watched a recording of that exact show, he most certainly called her a dog, whether by mistake (his claim) or not (the apparent reality, since the segment was pointless without that joke).
The fact of the matter is that while he claimed it was a mistake/joke by a technician, he never owned up and apologized for it. Even if it was a tech, the words came out of his mouth, while he was the personality.
Attack the President all you want, even personal attacks… not my cup of tea, but certainly Rush’s (and others like him)… but a little girl? That’s too far, no matter what side of the isle you’re on.
Ugh, happened = happen, and probably others I don’t see.
You are a liar. Even with the technical screwup the accusation holds completely false, certainly more so with the transcript. It doesn’t *remotely* match the nonsensical farce that’s grown up around the incident with Socks the cat (who was no part of the original version, and without whom the story makes little to no sense, which was why he was added.)
And yes, make no mistake, I am calling you an out-and-out LIAR. You are not the first person to perpetuate this lie by pretending you saw the show – others have gone so far as to claim they were in the audience that day (though they ended up messing up their own lies in one way or another.) You didn’t see the show, you are lying about what happened, and anyone with a few bucks who cares to chase it down is going to know this. The press won’t bother because they know it makes them liars – a seventeen YEAR lie – how humiliating for you LOL
I don’t much care if someone attacks a little girl – I saw plenty of attacking on Piper Palin and Bristol (not so much Willow) from the left (YES I SAID PIPER) and I honestly wouldn’t care if Limbaugh had called Chelsea the efftard a dog, but the fact remains he didn’t, and you’re lying. Which combined means I will dispute you.
Okay Anniee, I gotta ask. Why is this such a sore issue for you? Seriously. Let’s say you somehow do the impossible and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Limbaugh didn’t do that on purpose. What will that prove? What do you think you’ll have accomplished?
I think I can explain why it is a sore issue – it’s not out of love for Limbaugh, so let’s see why this bothers me so much. First, I saw it on television – it was November of 1992, right after the election. Millie was a nightly figure on the news; everyone knew Millie. Few had seen Chelsea and no one knew of Socks. Not nationally. But that doesn’t matter because Socks wasn’t part of the story then.
Ok, so I saw what happened, and I litierally *watched* the conception of this urban legend; which is not something you see every day. At first the reports were just humorous – “Haha, Limbaugh made a mistake with the pictures” (no implication – just that he had had a technical error and wasn’t that funny, haha, because he was already deeply hated.) The reports began to change over the days and he noted that they were probably going to start saying he had done it on purpose (again, no one knew to what end that could be, but it must be something, right?) and he laughed because he was such huge news and it was really Not News.
Gradually the reports changed to, “Oh, I get it – I bet he DID do it on purpose and SOMEHOW it was meant to imply that Chelsea is a DOG – yeah, that’s it!”
It has grown and changed for SEVENTEEN YEARS now, and mutated into this entirely bastardized fiction you see before you, in which Limbaugh HELD UP a picture of Socks the cat and stated quite plainly that Chelsea was the dog. Which was obviously not remotely close to what actually happened and was NOT in the original reports because how could it be? At this point the reporters *have* to know they’re lying – or are they deluded enough after 17 years to think they’re telling the truth? Why, when presented with the cold, hard evidence do they refuse to acknowledge that “Oops, that isn’t what happened”?
There are plenty of things you can use against Limbaugh that are true – you could say he *wants* Obama to fail in implementing socialism, as do I. You could say he made a nasty comment about Crystal Mangum (one which I thought was funny but he saw fit to apologize for, in part because we didn’t know yet the Duke team was innocent). You could say he says feminism is designed to give ugly women access to the mainstream (which it is, demonstrably.) Why is it you need to use things against him which he never did or said 17 years ago? What is THAT about?
Jeez, I was watching the show with my Republican grandfather (the one who always called me a commie) when this happened in 93. Saw it with my own eyes. Absolute fact the man said it, and meant it in as mean spirited a way as possible.
That ‘blog’ you link to is full of lies, and it cites nothing. It puts up an unsourced transcript from the WRONG YEAR as proof. This idiot blogger can’t even get the year right when he makes up fake transcripts.
All the original reports agree with my memory. This is the white house cat. Did you know there was a white house dog? Holds up picture of Chelsea, everyone laughs, my grandad laughs, I can’t believe grown ups are acting this way.
He did it, he said it. Rush Limbaugh is a fat sack of drugs, hatred, and self-loathing, and he always has been. This is just another piece of evidence proving that he has always been a hateful, lying sack of pustular sewer ooze.
You listen to, and respect, sewer ooze. The man is a subhuman traitor to his country.
Damn pinko marx sucking commie… You made me lose my groove on Assassin’s Creed and I had to spend five minutes getting it back. I blame you!
Seth, not only are you a despicable socialist (it’s a sad day in a “free country” when being socialist doesn’t garner one direct censure) but you are a liar. No, you weren’t watching it with your grandfather, no you didn’t see something that didn’t occur “with your own eyes.” But at least you didn’t go so far as some leftist liars have to pretend they were IN the audience lol. They were debunked as well.
You for dam* sure didn’t see it in ’93, since the incident in question took place on November 6, 1992, in response to the In/Out article which had just been published, which of course belies your entire story. I’m sorry, Seth – disagree with me all you want on politics, but factually you are simply WRONG here. What you are claiming did not happen.
Hm. I’m just about interested enough to find out how to buy a copy of the video of the show and bring it already. Obviously transcripts and dates mean nothing to you morons, and seeing it isn’t going to change your mind either, but at least I’ll have a real “in your face, LIAR” moment. It might be worth the money.

RUSH LIMBAUGH
SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 6, 1992, Friday 11:15 AM
LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show’s era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is.
David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at- -see who is the cute kid in the White House.
(A picture is shown of Millie the dog)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) No, no, no. That’s not the kid.
(Picture shown of Chelsea Clinton)
LIMBAUGH: (Voiceover) That’s–that’s the kid. We’re trying to…
As far as I know people are actually allowed to actually dislike a name without it being a racist or derogatory comment; for someone to freak out about it is a bit much, and would denote more of an issue with others than the person who simply stated a like vs. a dislike. I dislike the name “Michelle”-but I also dislike the name “Hilary”-it doesn’t mean that I am judging the people, for freaks’ sake; chill out.
you’re repeating obama’s material from the correspondent dinner…
You know what WAS funny? When this joke was on this week’s SNL’s Weekend Update.
Agreed. Not so funny 3 days later…
This caption is really, really bad. Way to be original by repeating the same jokes the rest of America has been making since it all happened.
Or when it was on The Daily Show the day after. Or when I said as soon as I heard about it.
The only people they “panicked” are the media outlets that thought they got scooped by the competition to see who could shriek over this non-item the shrillest.
You think that the US Military and the Office of the President putting a bunch of Lower Manhattanites in fear of their lives is a “non-item”? Really?
do you really think the office of the president commands air force one when the president is not using it, or that he even commands it when he is on board? it’s an air force jet, there is an entire chain of command between it and the oval office. isn’t it a bit more realistic that some twit of a desk jockey flyboy in public relations was responsible for this flyby?
Actually, it can’t be taken out without his approval.
got a cite for that? i’m under the impression that it’s only air force one when the prez is actually on board, the rest of the time it’s an air force aircraft with flight crew subject to standard chain of command…. but my air force knowledge is very thin, not doubting what you are saying, just have ignorance here that i’d like to remedy
Oh! My! God! Everyone note this day in your books: Dhoti expressed empathy for the common people of Manhattan! A LIBERAL CITY EVEN!
Do you have actual numbers on how many people said they were “in fear of their lives?” I bet not.
Do any of you liberal MORONS ever read a newspaper or watch anything besides American Idol? It panicked THOUSANDS of people! Maybe if you actually had a …God forbid… JOB…in a tall building and saw an airplane 500′ outside your window, in NEW YORK, you’d panic too.
PS: that picture wasn’t even taken that day unless the One has the ability to put leaves on trees in April.
Only three unfounded generalizations in one post? They don’t make trolls like they used to…
Huh? I was too busy watching American Idol so I can avoid reading a newspaper and not go to my job.
I’m too busy hugging trees and smoking pot to have a job or read the newspaper. I just sit around collecting welfare and posting on PK. It would be helpful if you could drive by in your Ferrari once a day to remind me how superior you are for being a conservative.
Also, commercial jets don’t scare me. But marsupials do, because they’re fast!
Dammit, The Steve, your pot set the tree on fire again….how many times do I have to tell you to smoke pot and hug trees separately, not at the same time!?!?
Spiders are also fast. Ew.
Flying marsupials, they’re the worst.
spiders bite and they are small, and some can jump like they are trying to get airborne, at least you’ve got a chance at seeing flying marsupials coming at you
“PS: that picture wasn’t even taken that day unless the One has the ability to put leaves on trees in April.”
1) I have no idea about NYC, but in Portland in April, the trees are leaving.
2) So, that picture must have been taken… maybe during the Bush Administration? Maybe he did the same thing, and the conservative media didn’t bother to make a big deal out of it…?
Goddamn all you Conservatives, now see what you’ve done??!! The trees are leaving Portland!!!
You got actual numbers on that, or just “I heard from my brother whose wife’s uncle’s landlord’s sister’s hairdresser’s brother works in an office in New York?”
If this really did scare you so bad that you ran out of your building, then you deserve to live in fear.
Finally, someone got the point. Thank you!
It is already photoshopped. It’s a total conspiracy. Just like 9/11. And Area 51. And Pearl Harbor. And James Earl Jones.
What?? JEJ is a conspiracy?! I don’t believe you. Next you’ll be trying to tell us that there was only one shooter in the Repository, and that there’s no Santa Claus.
i’m confused. are you talking about james earl jones the actor, or james earl ray the assassin? what’s the conspiracy regarding the actor?
We can never know if he’s REALLY Mufasa, or simply the voice on CNN.
He’s the voice of Darth Vader. There’s gotta be plenty of conspiracy around that alone. Does James Earl Jones have the force? Or does it belong to the guy in the silly black suit? Or Hayden Christiansen? Who is the REAL Sith Lord here?
And can he wield a lightsaber with pinpoint accuracy?
And can he whine about his jedi powers with pinpoint accuracy? Actually he can, it just sounds way more badass with the JEJ voice.
*imagines the line “But I wanted to go into Toshe Station for some power converters!!!!” in JEJ’s voice and gets a warm shiver*
When you think about, all of Vader’s lines from those movies said in Hayden Christiansen’s voice would suck the evil right out of him. Without JEJ you have no saga. Period.
Forget Hayden Christiansen’s voice, I want to replace Mark Hamill from “A New Hope”‘s voice. That whiny little bastard needed a spanking.
Mark Hamill circa “A New Hope”=Hayden Christiansen in just about every way possible. And you’re right. Thank goodness he hit puberty before Return of the Jedi or I would’ve wanted Vader to slice his head off. Why the hell does George Lucas keep casting whiny brats for the heroes in those damn movies?
I think the thing living in his neck finally took over his brain.
I can here him now…”THIS is CNN,” or is it “LUKE I am your FATHER.”
Maybe the the conspiracy YaYa talks about is totally in jest.
CNN, I am your FATHER!!
Simba, this is CNN on the dark side.
it’s washed out and needs to be color balanced to remove some of the green tones. for that much money… (sigh)
For a spur-of-the-moment photo through the canopy of your Viper — definitely.
But for $350K or whatever — not so much.
Yeah, not the best picture ever. Nice idea, poorly executed.
Obama does have a bad ass plane. But the idea to not say, ‘hey citizens, we’re flying low near one of the very cities attacked on 9/11,” no so bad ass. But hey, we all make mistakes. I say give it up and move on.
We still know Gerald Ford for falling down a lot, even though he only stumbled I think twice. I imagine “giving it up and moving on” is a feat best left to those with no memories.
but who was it that labeled him as an junior congressman as being ‘too dumb to walk and chew gum at the same time’? he might have only stumbled a couple times as president, but he’d had a lot of years of practice up until then.
and i agree with you on “‘giving it up and moving on’ is a feat best left to those with no memories” because i still cringe when reagan is touted as being all that and then some (he was a b-list actor for crying out loud and was upstaged by a chimp!); and nixon and his potty mouth, cheney learned a lot from that criminal… and taught it to rove too. yet in time these buffoons will be mere footnotes in the history books, just not soon enough ;(
I do have a bit of a problem with the ratio on the picture. Probably my paranoid nature coming out a bit here, but having AF1 dwarf the very symbol of the country that the Prez is charged to lead and protect is a bit big-headed for me. Now, a tasteful shot of AF1 in the background with Lady Liberty taking up the main part of the picture would go over a lot better, and make a MUCH better statement. The Prez is the leader, after all, not the symbol.
For comparison, check out the old shot of AF1 flying over Mount Rushmore — the carvings take up about the same amount of the frame. (But it’s less noticeable, I suppose, because of the mountains, surrounding forest, etc.) Does that shot trigger the same response?
I wonder if it’s even possible to do that optically. I know there’s that goofy camera trick — you move the camera closer while zooming out, I think? — but I don’t know if that would work here, while keeping AF1 at a (marginally) safe distance.
too bad that shot would be almost impossible to get as af1 would have to be about 150 feet above the deck to get into the same frame as a mammoth statue of liberty…
Well, you know……Photoshop and all…….
I don’t think I get what you’re saying. The Statue of Liberty is tiny in this shot, and AF1 is obviously around a mile above the ground. At 150 off the deck, AF1 would be *below* the top of the SoL.
It still might be ‘shopped, but I am leaning towards not.
just my opinion here, but i think the only way you could get a shot like that would be to be close to ground level with liberty in the foreground and the plane plying behind it. liberty on her base is about 300 feet tall and a standard 747 is just over 231 feet, which would mean that the plane would have to be closer than faa regs allow to liberty and and to the ground. photoshopping is probably the only way you could get a pic with the layout you want
Damn thing looks photoshopped anyways…
what’s even worse is that they screwed up the exposure to begin with…
To add to that, the composition’s not great, the color balance seems off, and the whole thing just looks hazy.
I think that’s probably an accurate representation of New York. Isn’t it a bit smoggy all the time? I really don’t know, I’ve never been, and have little desire to go.
pilots, flight crew, ground crew, jet fuel, air traffic controllers, etc = tens of thousands of dollars
copy of gimp, computer, best photoshop artists on the planet for an hour = $200 at most.
your tax dollars at work.
*grins* Come to think of it, my son’s very active on an internet group devoted to another graphics software, and they’re always doing challenges on different topics. I bet if they did “AF1 & the Statue of Liberty” they’d get a TON of stuff better than this!
and for free!
*giggle* Screw you tax payers!
There was actually a Photoshop contest done online for one of the papers (I’ll have to search and see if I can find it) to see where viewers could place AF1. There was a flyUNDER of the Golden Gate Bridge, a flyover of the Statue of Liberty that was MUCH better done than this, and several other retarded shots that just went to prove that a highschooler with a good computer would be a much better choice
that same contest was on fark.com
Not my tax dollars — I just switched my registration to a Democrat.
oh no you dinnit! we don’t accept trolls unless they live under the bridges and eats the chillins
Did you just misspell chitlins? RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACIST
“chillins”, colloquial word for children. So kid-hater, not racist.
I dunno, VG. She could be a witch- or gobblin-lover instead of a kid-hater….
how’d you know i’ve looking for a witch to love? midsummer nights eve does get a bit lonely when you’re the only fairie in the woods
Well, you and the fairy in my avatar can have a dance in the woods if it will make you feel better
that is very generous of you
kind of hoping for a boy fairy, but then again, maybe not. think i’ll go looking for some fauns, i know they like girl type bodies since all the boy type fairies i know like other boy type fairies, lol
I do a pretty good imitation of a faun, for the right witch. Also, I’m not quite as hairy.
Plus, with real feet instead of hooves, I tend not to get as much goatsh*t in the house!
not kid-hater! goat is good eats
and for that matter so is chitlins,
so dhoti, don’t paint me with your racist labeling paint brush.
gee, I hope they would get more than 200.00 bucks if they are the best PS artists on the planet.
Gimme a pic of AF1 and a pic of statue of liberty and I’ll give you a better image than this for 20 bucks.
In 15 minutes.
ok i saw this on SNL last saturday so fail
How stupid are these panicked people that they didn’t recognize Air Force One? If they’re that out of touch with the business of the nation they deserved to be scared.
Wow. Just wow.
Ok, now that I have collected myself, let me respond in a proper manner to your post.
-
In this picture, which was taken from a distance of about 200 yards or so, it’s nearly impossible to make out the writing saying “Air Force One” or anything else on the plane.
The planes that crashed into the WTC, flown by terrorists, were 747s if I’m not horribly mistaken. AF1 is a 747.
If you lived through the Towers coming down, the terror of thinking that it’s happening again would be almost paralyzing. For you not to understand that just shows that you are a brainless, idiotic piece of gutter trash who doesn’t deserve to breathe the same air that the rest of us breathe. I’d suggest placing yourself in a burlap sack and paying someone to beat you with reeds for your insolence.
wow, just wow. that rant left me speechless with appreciation of your grasp of verbally stomping the bejeezuz out of someone
*bows*
While you’re here, can you hand me the soap? I suddenly feel dirty for some reason, and there is a stench off to my left.
here you go, my homemade lemongrass and citronella soap – guaranteed to kill nearly every stench, plus has the added benefit of keeping most biting bugs at bay
Um… none of the planes that hit the Trade Centers were 747s, you’re an idiot, and the people that thought you are a hero, are idiots too, Technically the plane was not Air Force One, as the president was not on board, VC-25 is the correct designation, and it has a pretty distinctive paint scheme, media conspiracy about panic, btm
i find it funny that the people failed to realize that the plane was air force one, and that 9/11 happened 8 years ago, you think they would get over it?
Should the Jewish people “get over” the Holocaust, then?
Wow — we agree on something. (I’m scared too.)
who are you, and what have you done to the dhoti we all know and loathe?
Should the Dems get over the proven fact that Gore lost by all legitimate counts and all but one illegitimate count in 2000?
WTF does that have to do with anything?
For the reeeeaaaaalllyy slllooooowww members of the class:
If the few moments during which a scammed, and since debunked, FLA vote count put Gore ahead in November 2000, seems just like yesterday for most Dems (still unhinged, still think he won), . . .
Why wouldn’t the traumatic events of September 2001 seem just like yesterday for residents of the NYC metro area???
Simple comparison, get out of the basement and get some fresh air before commenting please.
I don’t have a basement. And most Dems have gotten over the 2000 election. Hell, I think Gore has done more as Captain Planet than he could’ve as president anyway. And I still think your comparison is retarded and in no way relevant.
Well he’s made a HELL of a lot more money selling those phony offsets than he ever could have as prez.
How did Al Gore make money off of selling carbon offsets?
LOL I’m going to let that one stand as a testament to your utter, head-in-the-stand stupidity AND ignorance. Also, I’m laughing too hard and keep making typos
[citation needed]

This wasn’t the only one, I found heaps, but a lot of them were blogs. And we all know about blogs.
And that one mentions only blogs as sources. I’m skeptical, but I wouldn’t put it past Gore. He’s never been one of my favorites.
I think the key here is to do a bit of investigating into the company Generation Investment Management. I’ve read several articles that mentions Gore and a guy named Strong as being heavily involved. At the heart of Gore’s nature lies a politician, and politicians seldom do anything unless they see some benefit to themselves.
I just did more research. The ‘original story’ on Bill Hobbs blog links to a nonexistent article at the Tennessean as proof that Gore is buying offsets from himself. If true, it would be pretty sleazy. But you should really read the Snopes article on Al’s ‘house.’
Seth, I read the article on Snopes and it says it’s true? I also didn’t realize what buying carbon offsets really was and was a bit surprised at what I found. So, while Gore claims to be energy neutral, in fact what he’s doing is paying money for offsets (to a company he has a vested interest in from what I can tell) and then claims his carbon footprint is neutral. Seems like a crappy way of getting around what you preach.
Oh Noes! Not only does he believe in carbon offsets, he makes business investments in them! HE’S BEHAVING LIKE A DAMN CAPITALIST! Oh, the humanity!
Seth, from what I could find, it does look like Gore has been making money on the offsets.
Could you provide a citation somehow? Does he own shares in some kind of renewable energy source or something? Could we all be making money off of renewable energy right now? I’d invest in that.
I asked because I’m genuinely curious as to how to do it, it sounds cool.
No, but you CAN make money off carbon offsets right now if you like. Oversight is available but NOT mandatory. Don’t you watch Penn and Teller Bullsh*t!? Go watch the one on “Being Green” or “Going Green” and they show a woman who makes lots of money selling offsets, and show exactly how it can be done. Go for it! (I have considered doing it myself – why not?)
A comedy duo is your source?
Penn and Teller Bullsh*t IS Bullsh*t. It’s pretty much just Penn telling you that he’s smarter than you are and pushing his own political agenda whilst Teller sits there and looks smug. If you think that show is actually informative in any way, you need to re-think your life.
Yeah, ‘cuz 9/11 so totally = the f*cking Holocaust. WTF is wrong with you?
Major tragedy is major tragedy. Granted it isn’t the same level but it was a state of horror for the country, especially those in the city where it happened.
I find it was highly insensitive of the government to do and highly insensitive of people claiming to be the party of sympathy to disregard the matter. I am not saying that we should gather pitchforks and torches but I won’t condescend and denigrate those who were actually scared for their lives because not even a decade ago, a couple planes flew in low and completely beastfu(ked their daily lives.
The example stands and you have a sympathy fail. Thank you for your patronage.
Oh, totally. Like when some cracker hangs his favorite noose up on a door at work, and the black guys get all offended. It’s been decades; you’d think they’d get over it, right?
Inbred douche. Go fu(k yourself.
Slaps Dhoti on the back.. agreed!
Well put.
Good one, Dhoti! I’m impressed.
WTF? Srsly?
Wow. Ever heard of post traumatic stress disorder? Goggle it you’re too stupid to have heard of it.
There are vets from Vietnam who still have issues with being in certain places, hearing certain sounds because it causes them to freak out.
Ever had a panic attack? You don’t think. You CAN’T think, because your flight or fight response has taken over. That is what happens anytime someone panics, for any reason. See a bear in the forest? Flight or fight kicks in. That is what was happening for people.
You are an idiot to even suggest what you did. I can barely tell in the picture that it’s Air Force One. How do you think people in a BUILDING would tell that it was?
Because they aren’t stupid?
Seriously, everyone. Either Obama is teh !!!1111!1! or tell it like it is, and quit dancing around denigrating him appropriately for his absolute misuse of power.
Um. What?
Oh, I get it. Obviosity has special software that allows him to zoom in on the windows of AF1 and he saw the pizza chef waving!
Pfft. Silly pizza chef. On the other hand, I had St. Louis style pizza the other night and it was awesome, as always. At least Obama has good taste in pizza.
like you did when bush threw the constitution out the window for 7 yrs (i will allow that he didn’t do much until after 9/11)?
Sure we did. None of y’all could hear any of our complaints over your own screaming and yipping is all. Though if you’re referring to the constitutional rights of enemy combatants, that’s not an issue.
hmmm, i remember a lot of ‘if you don’t like it, leave’ and ‘socialist’ and ‘if you’re not for us, you’re against us’ and ‘if you’re not doing anything wrong, then why are you worried about your email/internet/phone calls being monitored’.
I’m still waiting for Rosie O’Donnell to keep her promise and move to France
Yeah, me too.
What? I don’t like her. Period.
Like I said, you couldn’t hear any actual complaints over your own whinging.
‘if you’re not for us, you’re against us’
In the context the president used it, more than appropriate. I agreed with him.
“and ‘if you’re not doing anything wrong, then why are you worried about your email/internet/phone calls being monitored”
Hehe; you never heard THAT from anyone like me. While I don’t have much problem with the fact that actual, suspected terrorists, based on information (gathered from captured terrorists) was used to wiretap (as though that hasn’t gone on since kingdom come), you still won’t hear that kind of illogic from my quarter. It’s the same logic used to justify cameras in the streets (a reality since at least Clinton) and the new “wiretapping on steroids” bill under Obama, which will monitor the entire internet (all private emails etc.) at will and even retain the power to shut it down if deemed necessary. It’s also written into the stimulus that your doctor has to report ALL your activities, symptoms, treatments, and prescriptions to the feds. You bet we’re p*ssed, and will remain so. If you aren’t now, you’re just a hypocrite.
snork, i’ve been po’d at some elected lobbyists in waiting since reagans 2nd year in office….
now for the doc’s to report to the feds everything about every single patient – i find that unlikely. not saying you’re wrong, but this is the first i’ve heard of that along with the expanded internet monitoring. but then i don’t get faux news on my tv nor have i seen these anywhere else on the net. do you have cites for them?
cameras on the streets (the neighborhood watch ones) – hate the very idea, find it intrusive to say the least, petitioned against them when they were brought into to the town where i used to live, but the locals in the extremely high crime neighborhoods wanted them. me – i find them a bit too close to animal farm and fahrenheit 451…. shoot, i don’t even like the traffic cameras that catch people running reds and i don’t even drive anymore….
Translate the “reporting to the feds” canard into English from whatever language Anniee speaks and it means having computerized health care records rather than paper files subject to the vagaries of your doctors’ awful handwriting, which can be transferred via the interwebs from one doctor’s office to another as fast as you can walk down the hall and take the elevator rather than the days, weeks or months transferring a file often takes now. “The feds,” whoever they are, will not have unlimited access to the system any more than Joe Schmuckatelli down the street will, although there may have to be some agency involvement in establishing technical standards so every provider’s using compatible systems instead of some hospital ER not knowing what drugs you’re allergic to because your doc uses an exotic software platform.
I don’t think that anybody who has ever had to review handwritten heath-care records is against the computerized ones. This is a major advance.
Given that my own file is the thickness of a large town’s phonebook, I am totally for computerized records! –especially when I consider how un-readable my own handwriting is!
Sorry you find it unlikely but it’s true, slan agat’s frothing and raving to the contrary. See, some of us READ THE BILL. It’s called the Federal Coordinating Council and it’s designed to tamper with health care as it is known now – first by gathering all the information (intelligence) and then by telling doctors how to “cut costs”. Link. There’s a lot of direct text in there.
So slan agat’s yelping about my paranoia of “the feds” turns out to be just that – yelping – and once again I’m completely right. How’s that feel, slanny, old fool? There’s plenty more. Would you like to find out how Virginia’s program just “lost” hundreds of thousands of such sensitive documents and speculate how much better it will be under federal control? See, we could do that. We could do a lot of things. But you’re going to lose, slan, so get used to it. THIS one you won’t win; you can use all the ridicule you like and it won’t stick on this one. Your idol is doing CRAZY power-grabbing like we’ve never seen. Way beyond your wiretapping and other stuff; it’s all tame by comparison. Enjoy it, mr hopenchange.
Powergrabbing like we’ve never seen….unless we’ve been paying attention for the past 8 years. *cough*patriotact*cough*
ok, i’ve read it too finally. and the blog you used as a cite. blog is inaccurate in places based on my own knowledge as a diabetic who does maintain normal glucose levels with diet and exercise and i know many others who have much tighter control than what the ada believes is possible. but that rant aside, i see nothing wrong with standardized recordkeeping and having my medical records in a format readily transferable and accessible to all the speciallists i see on a regular basis. i’d much rather have my neurologist be able to see the same things that my endo sees that my cardiologist sees that my anestesiologist (sp?) sees that my pharmacist sees than have to pay for their time for conference calls (done that – spendy!) or for less than optimal treatment. i’ve had 3 different doctors prescribe 3 different meds to treat the same condition because they only saw their own files, which is why i only use 1 pharmacy. btw, all my docs are in the same network and practice less than 15 miles apart….
maybe if i was a plain vanilla patient when it comes to medical conditions i wouldn’t care so much, but i’m not, and a mistake in my treatment can cost me my vision, the ability to speak, the ability to use language/words, the ability to live on my own. so i guess it’s different needs for different folks, but the only thing i saw there that bothered me was the lack of alternative medical treatments (ie eastern meds, naturapathic, etc). i do see this as a way to bring in a us version of the codex alimentarius, which has good points, but also has bad/overreaching points.
This is the most bizarre spin I’ve ever heard yet in my life. A ***new federal bureaucracy*** designed to gather, record and oversee your medical care for the purposes of eventually cutting/rationing it (in other words the infrastructure for socialized health care; the precursor where costs are examined – information that USED to be private now at the hands of a federal bureaucracy) and the sheeple say “Baaah! Accurate recordkeeping yaybaaah!”
That. is. new.
Oh, also, slan agat you LOSE on your “the feds canard”, fool. Unless the new federal bureaucracy named in the stimulus bill is under some new definition that you just made up which doesn’t fit with “feds” LOL. Moron.
well guess what, the network that i belong to has been paperless for over a year and they did it all on their own – and for calling me a sheeple, be very careful there my dear because this witch has never taken kindly to being lumped in with sheep, now goats on the other hand…
however, when you deal with my health issues on a personal level you’ll understand and appreciate the need for accurate records and why i appreciate them.
would you like to hear about my health issues? i don’t mind sharing on an open forum — of course you could then slam me for faking, but my dear, who in their right mind would want to claim brain damage from a mass that is basically inoperable, but then, i’m not in my right mind since the right hemesphere is what is missing…. want messed up medical care – go for it, i personally want to keep what few marbles i have left as functioning as possible!
want another medical condition that i live with? try diabetes caused by that same mass – it destroyed my pituitary which to the best of my understanding is the control for the rest of the endocrine/hormone system for the entire body – non-curable in my case, the best i can do is control it and fight against secondary effects (now i know there is a specific word for that, but heck if i can remember it now).
#3 – premature menopause – again from the mass in my brain….sounds great right? try hot flashes starting at 18 and not being able to get a doctor to listen to your symptoms for another 25 yrs because ‘you’re just too young’
#4 – debilitating migraines that started when i was 5 from the pressure caused by the mass in my brain
#5- long term depression, and i don’t mean sadness or transitory blues, but the kind of depression where you could walk out onto the freeway in front of a semi at 75 or put a pistol to your temple or floor the gas pedal and put your car into a concrete piling at 130, again caused by the mass in my brain….
#6 – short term memory loss
#7 – forgetting my own d@mn name! at work, in front of the new gm, while trying to get a promotion
#8- sounding like a complete ignoramous because of aphasia symptoms – like people have after suffering a stroke and can’t use the right word for something, or in my case, can’t remember words, let alone the wrong one
#9 – needing yearly mri’s to check for growth of the mass in my brain to the tune of 3g each
shall i continue to list why i personally am glad for accurate medical records? sheeple, my (_*_)! you live my life and don’t expect your doctors to be able to keep your brain from killing you!
oh yes, i got my latest lab results in the mail this am – i’m on the verge of first stage kidney failure so lets just call that condition #10
To BF (no reply button on your post) I wasn’t referring to you specifically as a sheeple (more your friend slan agat) but you sure took up that stupid bleat about “Aaaaaacurate paperwork” as being the purpose of this thing despite having actually READ it, which is highly disturbing. Accurate paperwork has as much to do with the medical provisions in the stimulus bill as Tianamen Square has to do with teabagging. Less, actually. I wish I were better with analogies. But come ON.
Coordinating care between health professionals is a worthwhile goal. Mandating reporting of our most sensitive and private medical information to the feds with the purpose of socializing medicine and rationing it is an evil goal and is not even remotely related. I don’t want anyone but my doctor and pharmacist between me and the prescription pad, I don’t want anyone but authorized (BY ME) medical professionals to have access to my files, and I DON’T want them deciding (read the provisions) which treatments can and will be cut because they aren’t cost efficient. I pay for my medical care and I have every right to get what I pay for.
Dude, I live in ST. LOUIS and I still get nervous when I see a plane flying low.
TOOOOOOOOOOSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON.
ROFL!
History has a bad habit of repeating itself.
I said exactly the same thing. Even I could have done it in Photoshop.
Sometimes powers and authorities are no match for logical thinking.
They know how to manipulate politics but not a lousy photo?
..or the GIMP. You don’t need multi-hundred dollar software for a simple compositing job.
our tax dollars at work! …
FINALLY: a non-lame photoshop punchline. Definite WIN for this one.
LOL this iz EPIC!!!!
Not to nitpick, but it is only ‘Air Force One’ when the President is on-board. Since Mr. Obama was not on the plane at the time, this caption is inaccurate.
it’s all good
so in the spirit of nit-picking: he’s president obama while in office, then he’ll be the former president, or the ex-president, or mr obama at that point, and when referring to him and michelle, it’s president and mrs obama.
Or, “Hey, you, with the big ears…..”
Or “Emperor.” Think about it.
aww, you’re just jealous because he’s in the white house and you’re not
Well, I was convinced Bush was going to declare himself emperor at some point with all of his abuse of power. We’ll have to wait and see what Obama does with it all. LOL
naw, it wouldn’t have been bush that did it, it would have been cheney declaring bush as the new caesar so that he could have continued being the puppetmaster (bush would have owed him you see, lol)
that’s just when he’s flying with a feather in his cap
It’s not nitpicking really, it’s making an excellent point. The point being that Obama wasn’t on the jet, and therefore was not in charge of this pic being taken.
Well we don’t really KNOW who was or wasn’t. President Transparency has yet to get a manifest released so we will know WHO was on board has he? (If he has, I haven’t heard about it yet.) Perhaps it makes it all too obvious he knew all about it – he is the master photo-opper after all – which is why we aren’t privy to Mr. Transparency’s information here. Who knows? It’s one of those things we may simply never know.
umm, sweetie, it isn’t the president who controls the manifest of any military plane — and except in the case of hoover, johnson, nixon, reagan, or bush ii & cheney is the office of the president used to classify day to day operations.
and why is it that he knew all about what one of the underlings did (re ordered the flight) yet when limpdick’s aide put up that picture of chelsea instead of the dog, it was all the intern’s fault? hippocracy much?
Before I get to how completely wrong you are about the Limbaugh incident (non-incident that the press made an incident) let me just say that I doubt the president is in direct control/possession of airplane manifests, though I couldn’t say he doesn’t have a definitive list when it’s regarding air force one. Pelosi might have a better idea on that – she’s great at commandeering planes – hell, maybe it was her. But president transparency obviously has the ability to get this thing released, and it begins to seem more and more that he won’t do so because it would make him look bad, as though there’s no way he could possibly have not known about it. Depending on who was on board, right? We’ll see. Or maybe we never will. I have not blamed him for the incident with any certainty – I simply do not know.
As to Limbaugh, the man was not fired because he put up a picture of Chelsea instead of the dog. I’m sorry, did you read my entry on this yet, including the transcript, because seriously, you’ve got it SO dead wrong it’s not even funny. That isn’t what happened, not even close. Could you please at least take the time to read the ACTUAL incident and compare it to the urban legend that has taken its place, because the whole thing is ludicrous. The guy was fired because Limbaugh demands perfection in his endeavors (such as a fledgling tv show), not because he was made to look bad – he WASN’T made to look bad; not by what happened; only by the myth, the lie, that has come to replace the truth. I’m going to link it one more time, so please don’t let’s have to do this whole thing AGAIN. I know it’s a blog. It also contains a logical progression of the development of the lie AND the actual transcript.
the airplane pelosi uses was upgraded from the one the previous speaker used because it is necessary for her to be able to fly coast to coast without landing to re-fuel, the last speaker lived in the midwest. furthermore she didn’t order the larger plane, it was done for her by i beleive the sargent at arms or whoever controls her security, and was done specifically in light of 9/11
2 – i ain’t dead yet so dont’ go buying my headstone anytime soon, and it was a woman not a man that supposedly mixed up the pics. and like i believe any misogynistic control freak wouldn’t have done at least one run through of his program before air time, especially since that seems to be the modus operandi of broadcasting is to rehearse so that mistakes aren’t made and they stay within their time allotment and they know when to break for their sponsors gilt?
If he’s not on board he is automatically excluded from the suspect list of idiots who authorized this freak show?
i’m cringing at the thought of how much $$ teh (_*_)’s are going to waste investigating this and how long it will take them to decide that a flyby constituted a flight (ala whether or not a bj was sex…)
of course, if they did decide to just photo shop a pic, all you boobs would just complain that they were too lazy to take a real one
This is stolen from SNL >_>
This is America! We do not f-king Photoshop! We’re not Iran!
Uh, you really want our government to get into habit of P-shopping?
Guess you’re too young to remember the run up to the war, with Colin Powell showing those photos of mobile “biological agent labs.”
You know, the ones that disappeared once we invaded….
this was funnier when it was on snl last saturday.
It was even funnier online the day after the incident, before SNL. But thanks for the fresh and original comment.
every time i see this caption i read it as air farce one, i miss them
For lies and the lying liars who tell them – you claim an incident that never happened. FAIR hasn’t even bothered posting a CLIP – which doesn’t make sense. Clearly someone should have posted a clip? Even Al Franken, in his book Lying Liars dated the “incident” to Nov 6, 1992 (which ruins half the lies right there), though he used the screwed up new canon of the dialog and the phony bit about the pictures. He even won a debate against Hannity, who didn’t have the transcript, by using the non-facts as told by Ivins and company. But here’s the transcript – if you have footage of something from 1993 that happened, or a transcript, bring it. Put up or shut up because the onus is on the one making the false claim to prove it, not on the one claiming it didn’t happen:
“Transcript from lexis nexis:

SHOW: RUSH LIMBAUGH (9:00 PM ET)
November 6, 1992, Friday 11:15 AM
LIMBAUGH: Thank you. This show’s era of dominant influence is just beginning. We are now the sole voice of sanity, the sole voice of reason. We are the sole voice of opposition on all television. This is the only place you can tune to to get the truth of the opposition of the one-party dictatorial government that now will soon run America. Oh, I mean, we are only beginning to enjoy dominance and prosperity. Most of these things on the in-out list are not even funny, but a couple of them–one of them in particular is.
David Hinckley of–of the New York Daily News wrote this, and what he has–he’s got–it’s very strange. He says, In: A cute kid in the White House. Out: Cute dog in the White House.’ Could–could we see the cute kid? Let’s take a look at- -see who is the cute kid in the White House.

If they had used Photoshop, it would have saved the taxpayers over $300K…anyone ever find out how many WH staffers went on that little joyride?
Panicked a city!??! How about wasted $328,835 worth of taxpayer’s money?
when I heard why they did this, I just about cried. I could have done this w/photoshop back in highschool (late 90s).
