"Yeah, these two people walked right into the White House during dinner"
(I was at the local laundromat, FAUX news is on the 2 LCD Tee Vees, I cannot watch for fear my eyes will bleed, and they do a brief bit about the Salahis, this is WORD FOR WORD what the attendant, a grizzled looking old man with doubtful teeth blurts out after the brief ends.)

Me: "No, they didn't 'walk into the White House', it was a State Dinner in a giant tent on the South Lawn. There were over 300 guests".

"They just walked right in nobody stopped them, that's what they said"

Me:"Who said"?

On the Tee vee right there.

Me: No, if you believed less of what you see on the TeeVee and tried to get the real facts, you'd realize they were socialites, they were dressed to the nines, drove up in a limo, and because of an error by the Secret Service, were allowed in BECAUSE they weren't on any watch lists. It was a BIG dinner".


LONG silent pause, about a minute.

That guy doesn't have a clue"

Me:"What guy?"

That Obama fella. He's doin a shitty job".

Now I realize I am dealing with one of the elite corncobs, not just a run of the mill asshole, but one that thinks he knows it ALL.

Me:I'll end our conversation this way, if you knew what you were talking about, you'd be watching MSNBC"

Oh, that Commie station?"

I turned my back and continued to fold the laundry. Another exciting day in Reich-wing Morris County NJ.


Assholes are everywhere.

Missing links. I worked with one and it was a daily nightmare not to puke all over him.

4. It was the 'doubtful teeth' that sealed it for me
when he opened his mouth, I KNEW that the conversation wasn't going to be about the wonderful job Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are doing. But what amazes me is how vocal these assholes are, as if they welcome confrontation and try to make those around them think they are smart....

13. "how vocal these assholes are" reminds me of a description of a bad singer ...
what he lacked in talent, he made up for in volume ...

what these people lack in knowledge, they make up for in volume/anger ...

3. "BECAUSE they weren't on any watch lists."
Edited on Sat Nov-28-09 02:05 PM by Kaleva
Are you saying these events are open to anyone who is well dressed, rides a limo and gives a name that doesn't appear on a watch list?

This ought to deter militia members who wear flannel shirts and blue jeans; drive around in an old pickup truck and whose favorite expression is "Git r done!".

6. Their names weren't on the guest list but they were still allowed to enter.
Your post mentioned a watch list.

12. Well, don't call others assholes when you don't have your facts straight.
It doesn't make you look good at all.
