3. I thought it was amazing when the WH revealed
3D chess. Then they started adding levels.

Who knew there was a 12th level vulcan chess before the Obama administration?

:rofl:

It leaves me wondering, though, how many more levels there might be.

:scared:

4. Sensible liberals know better than to criticize
Because criticism automatically means that person isn't going to vote, or is going to vote Republican, or just doesn't understand the political realities that would expose the poor dears amongst the Democratic caucus to the withering, orthographically-challenged opprobrium of the Tea Baggers.

5. Good point.
I always forget these things. I guess it's because I'm a fucking retarded crazy person. :dunce:

8. And it's not only the WH who is adding to it.
We can take some clever additions from posters right here on DU.

6. Did no one learn a thing from the whole McChrystle (bad spelling)
incident? Shooting your mouth off like that? I guess some are all happy that the truth of how the WH feels is coming out, but really... not too smart.

9. He's probably just repeating what he and the rest of the staff say to each other after the morning
briefings.
Which means not only is he impolitic, but he's not very aware of his surroundings; he doesn't have enough self control to keep his mouth shut when he feels triggered to repeat whatever cute or clever bon-mote he said in private earlier to his buddies Rahm and Dave.

10. It's reparable, if he chooses to clarify his statements appropriately. But once
someone in the administration (or administration candidate) becomes the focus of attention in a distracting manner (usually because of RW bluster), they've been eliminated. Will be interesting to see what happens to Gibbs.

11. Stupid is as stupid does. Same with truth. His problem is saying what he meant.
