[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Kiss of Joe - you're a self serving traitor

[asthmaticeog]

1. The door, the hitting, the ass, the way out...

All that.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

2. Yes - all that and I finally voted for a winner

Other than Bill Clinton

11. Could you explain bush photos?

I apologize for asking, but I keep looking at those photos, and something disturbs me. A full grown man sitting on ,what appears to be, a hotel bed with another man,crouching next to him, in a bunny suit. The other photo is him appearing to be some kind of vampire?

21. The one on the left is from "The Shining"

It is a photoshop or recreation of a famous disturbing scene in the Stanley Kurbric film based on the Stephen King novel, "The Shining." It is a very strange film about a family wintering over in an empty haunted hotel in the snowbound Colorado mountains. The father, played by Jack Nicholson, goes insane and tries to murder his entire family.

For most of the film only Nicholson and his little son can see the ghosts, but in the final terrifying segment of the film, the wife, played by Shelly Duvall begins to see them also as she runs through the hotel, but mostly in utterly bizarre tableaus.

At one point she looks into one of the hotel's rooms and she sees a man sitting on a bed and another man in a furry animal custom kneeling before him. The implication is that the ghost guy in the furry costume has been giving oral sex to the other ghost man.

So someone superimposed Bush's face on the guy sitting, implying that Bush is both an evil spirit and a closet homosexual.

22. Is that why bush is referred to

as "bunnypants" at times?

[HamdenRice]

26. No, I think that's a different pop culture reference

I think it was on TV or a comic strip someone referred to Bush as something like "commander bunnypants." It might have been the Simpsons. Maybe someone else can elighten us.

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

27. I think bunnypants refers to his spoiled little boy demeaner

Like some arrogant five year old in pajamas with feet on them.

28. More Shining trivia -- it's about the "Dogman"!

Someone posted this excerpt from the Kubric FAQ on another board:



from the "kubrick faq"

3/ What is that strange Bear scene in The Shining about (and is it a bear)?
The "bear scene" is a brief moment in The Shining when Wendy, beginning to see the same "1920's Party" events that Jack's been seeing, is wandering through the halls of the hotel. As she looks around a corner, she sees two shapes huddled over the edge of a bed. As she looks, they are revealed to be two men, possibly engaged in oral sex. One is wearing what looks to be a bear (1) costume.

The scene is taken directly from Stephen King's novel. In one of the novel's scenes set in the 1920's party, Jack is dancing with a beautiful woman. He notices that at one table, there is a young man behaving like a pet dog for the amusement of others, including a tall, bald man.

The bald man is Horace Derwent, a Howard Hughes-like figure who poured millions into restoring the Overlook Hotel in the 1920's. (Jack has learned this by reading a mysterious scrapbook earlier in the novel.) The younger man has a romantic crush on the bisexual Derwent, and Derwent has said that 'maybe', if the man dresses like a nice doggy, and acts like a nice doggy, he 'may' be willing to sleep with him.

Later on, in the novel, as Wendy is warily navigating the corridors of the Overlook, she begins to see the visions of the 1920's party. And at one point, peering around a corner, she sees the two men on a bed, one in a doggy costume. The two men are Derwent and his extremely dependent lover.

It's difficult to say why this second scene remains in the film; as it's somewhat confounding without all of the set-up that King provides in his book. Perhaps its jarring incongruity is reason enough for its inclusion, illustrating as it does Wendy's extreme disorientation at that point in the film. Another explanation is that the background on Derwent may have been scripted and filmed, (2) but excised in the final cut.

BS

Notes:
(1) In King's novel it's actually a dog costume - Gordon Stainforth also states it was referred to as the 'dogman' scene by the crew. - although, some people maintain it was changed to a bear for the film, while one person suggested the costume was that of a walrus, because of some symbolic association walruses have with death (although the absence of large tusks tends to mitigate against this interpretation). (back)

31. You're right, up to a point.

I feel it's important to stress that when I made that Photoshop (yes, it's mine) I absolutely did not intend to imply that Bush is a closet homosexual. Homosexuality doesn't bother me in the slightest, and I vigorously object to its use as an insult, which you see a lot of around here, for a supposedly progressive discussion board. I'm not the least bit interested in how the President likes his sex. I did it because I think that scene in "The Shining" is one of cinema's great disturbing WTF moments, and putting Bush's head onto the well-dressed man made me giggle like an idiot. There's nothing more to it than that I find it funny.

[tyedyeto]

3. May the good citizens of CT see Joe for what he is in November...

an ass kissing bush supporter.

Live from Lieberman's "concession" speech

"Tomorrow morning, our campaign will fill the necessary petition with the office of the Connecticut Secretary of State so that we can continue this campaign for unity and purpose. If the people of Connecticut are good enough to send me back to Washington as an independent Democrat..."

:wtf:

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

Ned Lamont's Unofficial Fight Song

:headbang: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

(Edited for spelling errors. Sorry!)

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

5. I like when he called for republican votes

[LostinVA]

14. There's no such thing as an "Independent Democrat"

He can't have it both ways... damn! I can't stand Lieberman!

[DoYouEverWonder]

16. He can go be an Independent Asshole

but Joe ain't no Democrat.

I don't see why he just doesn't go join the Repug party, there's plenty of support for him there.

[LostinVA]

17. Because he marched with Dr, King, I guess

Seriously -- I'm getting tired of him saying that. That was a long time and a lot of despicable actions ago, Joe.

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. So did a lot of the original Neocons

Something corrupted them along the way to power and they certainly wouldn't march with King in 2006, if he was still alive.

[LostinVA]

20. I know... it's so disappointing...

[Cha]

23. I like that.."independent Asshole"..

It fits lieberman and it has a nice ring to it.

[City Lights]

15. "Independent Democrat?"

I second your :wtf:

[blonndee]

4. About time he unmasked himself for what he is. n/t

[bananarepublican]

6. One small step for Conneticut, one giant leap for American democracy!

Let's hope this is the beginning of the end for every single corrupt incumbent this coming November.

Since there are a whole lot more corrupt Republicans than Democrats, the good guys should take back both houses.

[Cha]

24. This is one of the more important

races in the country, imo. The culmination of more than 6 years of holyjoe being shoved down our faces..joe is finally having to pay the piper and he still won't get off stage.

[killbotfactory]

7. That turd is finally out of our punchbowl

The republicans are welcome to him.

[dolo amber]

8. Maybe Zell will be his MySpace friend

:patriot:

[depakid]

9. Let the battle begin

Irony is- in his snivelling arrogance- he's helping to nationalize the election.

[Gin]

10. Just listened to his speech.......well.. that turned into a pep rally for

him as an Independent.......................what an arrogant jerk....good riddance.

[donheld]

12. Now he's free to make love to W all he wants

Good Riddance to him.

[liberaliraqvet26]

13. i hate him more than a republican today.

and his little likkud friend Lanny Davis too.

[Nimrod2005]

19. Same here...

[tuvor]

25. Isn't he CT's Senator until the end of the year?

Does that mean CT's senator is now "independent"?

[goclark]

29. Kick him out NOW! No asignments, no status! nt

[tuvor]

30. Yeah, but isn't he CT's Senator until the end of the year?

Your enthusiasm's great, but I was hoping to have my question answered.
