Bwahahahaha! I was hoping no one would notice that!!!

@ Tayo - D
Darn it! Can't put anything past you, huh? What can I say. . . you got me? Now I have to report back to base that our plan was foiled by an astute poster on Nairaland. It's not going to be easy, I'll tell you that right now. I mean 8 yrs of hard work (from when the Bush became president) gone done the drain all because we didn't put into consideration that someone out there will be able see through us. 

Well done man! Well done! If we aren't on opposite sides (we are right? Okay) I'd shake your hands right now. Oh what the heck, I'm not a sore loser. . . put it right here pardner!

Jeebus H. Christo!

Is this before or after she wrote the glowing article on Sarah Palin? Ay! This entire election is mind boggling!! It has turned to a freaking circus.

Anyway, here is here explanantion for what happened.

Open Mic Night at MSNBC
September 3, 2008
St. Paul

Well, I just got mugged by the nature of modern media, and I wish it weren't my fault, but it is. Readers deserve an explanation, so I'm putting a new top on today's column and, with the forbearance of the Journal, here it is.

Wednesday afternoon, in a live MSNBC television panel hosted by NBC's political analyst Chuck Todd, and along with Republican strategist Mike Murphy, we discussed Sarah Palin's speech this evening to the Republican National Convention. I said she has to tell us in her speech who she is, what she believes, and why she's here. We spoke of Republican charges that the media has been unfair to Mrs. Palin, and I defended the view that while the media should investigate every quote and vote she's made, and look deeply into her career, it has been unjust in its treatment of her family circumstances, and deserved criticism for this.

When the segment was over and MSNBC was in commercial, Todd, Murphy and I continued our conversation, talking about the Palin choice overall. We were speaking informally, with some passion -- and into live mics. An audio tape of that conversation was sent, how or by whom I don't know, onto the internet. And within three hours I was receiving it from friends far and wide, asking me why I thought the McCain campaign is "over", as it says in the transcript of the conversation. Here I must plead some confusion. In our off-air conversation, I got on the subject of the leaders of the Republican party assuming, now, that whatever the base of the Republican party thinks is what America thinks. I made the case that this is no longer true, that party leaders seem to me stuck in the assumptions of 1988 and 1994, the assumptions that reigned when they were young and coming up. "The first lesson they learned is the one they remember," I said to Todd -- and I'm pretty certain that is a direct quote. But, I argued, that's over, those assumptions are yesterday, the party can no longer assume that its base is utterly in line with the thinking of the American people. And when I said, "It's over!" -- and I said it more than once -- that is what I was referring to. I am pretty certain that is exactly what Todd and Murphy understood I was referring to. In the truncated version of the conversation, on the Web, it appears I am saying the McCain campaign is over. I did not say it, and do not think it. In fact, at an on-the-record press symposium on the campaign on Monday, when all of those on the panel were pressed to predict who would win, I said that I didn't know, but that we just might find "This IS a country for old men." That is, McCain may well win. I do not think the campaign is over, I do not think this is settled, and did not suggest, back to the Todd-Murphy conversation, that "It's over."

However, I did say two things that I haven't said in public, either in speaking or in my writing. One is a vulgar epithet that I wish I could blame on the mood of the moment but cannot. No one else, to my memory, swore. I just blurted. The other, more seriously, is a real criticism that I had not previously made, but only because I hadn't thought of it. And it is connected to a thought I had this morning, Wednesday morning, and wrote to a friend. Here it is. Early this morning I saw Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, and as we chatted about the McCain campaign (she thoughtfully and supportively) I looked into her eyes and thought, Why not her? Had she been vetted for the vice presidency, and how did it come about that it was the less experienced Mrs. Palin who was chosen? I didn't ask these questions or mention them, I just thought them. Later in the morning, still pondering this, I thought of something that had happened exactly 20 years before. It was just after the 1988 Republican convention ended. I was on the plane, as a speechwriter, that took Republican presidential nominee George H.W. Bush, and the new vice presidential nominee, Dan Quayle, from New Orleans, the site of the convention, to Indiana. Sitting next to Mr. Quayle was the other senator from that state, Richard Lugar. As we chatted, I thought, "Why him and not him?" Why Mr. Quayle as the choice, and not the more experienced Mr. Lugar? I came to think, in following years, that some of the reason came down to what is now called The Narrative. The story the campaign wishes to tell about itself, and communicate to others. I don't like the idea of The Narrative. I think it is ,  a barnyard epithet. And, oddly enough, it is something that Republicans are not very good at, because it's not where they live, it's not what they're about, it's too fancy. To the extent the McCain campaign was thinking in these terms, I don't like that either. I do like Mrs. Palin, because I like the things she espouses. And because, frankly, I met her once and liked her. I suspect, as I say further in here, that her candidacy will be either dramatically successful or a dramatically not; it won't be something in between.


But, bottom line, I am certainly sorry I blurted my barnyard ephithet, I am certainly sorry that someone abused my meaning in the use of the words, "It's over", and I'm sorry I didn't have the Kay Baily Hutchison thought before this morning, because I could have written of it.

LMAO! What I won't see on Nairaland. So a guy comes and says he can't stop cheating on his wife and the MEN joining to insult him? What Hypocites! LOL, if everyone is even talking, not you guys.

Please sit this one out and let the women do the abusing.

Honestly why would anyone wanna pirate Naija Movies? This is what is giving them the illusion that they are good.

It is supposed to be the other way around, Nollywood movies should be begging to be pirated and even then sef, the Piraters or Pirators (whatever) should tell them "Hmmm, Yeah. . . maybe next time, right now we kinda busy with Ghana Movies. They are younger, better and more appealing to the senses. Oh now, please don't cry. . . maybe if you improve yourself, we can work something out, okay?"

I SUPPORT 1000000%!!!!

Where do I sign? Where do I sign? Oh you should also know I am good at forgery, so however many siggies we need. . . 100, 1000, 10,000, I can do 'em easy! I'll do anything to make sure I never, ever have to

See another movie with a senseles name like Roses Above and Beyond the Thorns of a Tree - Pt 1 -45.

See RMD in Dungarees Jean shorts and face cap acting like a 12yrs old.

See RMD in Dungrarees Jean shorts and face cap acting like a 17yrs old.

See RMD in Dungarees Jean shorts and face cap acting like a 22yrs old (Yeah, somehow. . . they've convinced themselves a grown man looking like a fool = Ayounge)

Hear Jim Iyke speak in the retarded way he thinks is cute.

See Noah Ramsey or Ramsey Noah. . . whatever the heck his name is squinting his eyes because that's the he can play romantic man.

Watch Noah Ramsey or Ramsey Noah sweat like a pig, his armpit dripping like shower. . . while trying to be romantic because of the lighting they use.

Listen to song sang in the most annoying, nerve grating voice ever, telling you the entire movie withing the first 5 mins. It's like. . . Okay, thanks for that. Next!

Watch a movie shot with a shaky camera by the time you are done, you wonder if you just took a ride on a ferris wheel. God help you if you stand up immediately afterwards, you will find yourself yakata on the floor because of dizziness.

Listen to people shout "O de gbe koruba yen wa si bi" in the movie and wonder. . . which Koroba? What does Koruba have to do with a love scene? Abi have Nigerians found a way to use Bucket as a intimacy gadget? Only for you to realize it's not part of the movie, it's the background noise the editor did not see fit to clean up before selling it.


Ay! The more I think about, the more determined I am to sign this petition. Did I say 10,000? Forget that. . . 100,000 siggies all from me.

More grease to your elbow, my good man! God speed!

I never read meaning to your words. I simply revealed the implications. Maybe you never gave much thought to them but they are very clearly showing a bias against the mother when in actuality she and her husband are to be held accountable, if at all anyone other than the girl should be. And by the way, I am not so much for the any Party, but I stand by some principles. That is why I was never moved by either McCain, Obama, Clinton or Biden. But Sarah Palin moves me. She tickles my fancy because of what she stands for.
now you try to change the dynamics. You claim Palin made it a national issue while not alluding to the fact that others started it. Of course it would have become known eventually. However, your point is becoming more and more fuzzy here. If you and I agree that it would have become known, then why the ire about her telling the world on her own terms?

How should they shield her? By her mom resigniong and going into oblivion to satisfy your desire? Do you want her to just resign herself to the governorship of Alaka all because of her daughter's mistake? How many times have your parents had to change their life goals and ambitions on account of your actions - especially since you became an adult? Where is personal responsibility?

I expected this age-old tactic. A reversal to personal abuse when you run out of intellectual steam.

You will do well to take the advice of your counsellor.

Half education is really a disease. Each State in the Federation define what age a person is considered an adult. For Alaska, it is 16.[/quote]My desire? My Goal? My intentions? My God! Man do you hear yourself? Ay! It's like trying to get through to a brick wall and I won't even bother, obviously whatever it is that moves you about Sarah Palin also stops you from being reasonable. How else do you explain blaming the child, while giving the mother a free pass. Oh yeah, something is definitely fuzzy here but it's not not my point, which is and will always be this -  It is unfair to put a pregnant 17 yrs old girl in the middle of a political shitstorm.

It doesn't matter how it came out, what matters is it would have and the girl will still be subjected to ridicule. I didn't know it is suddenly a big deal to expect a parent to protect a child, my apologies.

I didn't insult you, I just refuse to take credit for your unnecessary frothing at the mouth because you have convinced yourself you can see something where there's nothing.

Fluffy yellow balls. . . . my raging friend, fluffy yellow ball.

Jeebus! People really want this man dead, fa!

What did he do to you death mongers? Na wah oh

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=166454.msg2748608#msg2748608 date=1220441118]@Sisikill,
So your overiding concern here is reallyy the political office and not the parenting as you earlier claimed. Trying to pass of your political inclinations as a concern for a family matter is laughable at best.

I don't know what to say of your attempt to rearrange history to fit your political leanings. Is it selective amnesia or just plain deceit. Who began making the girl a national issue? Was it not the left-leaning blogs who began by lying about the girl claiming she is the real mother of of her brother? Sarah Palin's had to step in to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that the baby wasn't her daughter's. So you see, you should drect your rage at the Democrats, and not this capable mother.
You incuslt our intelligence by assuming we are too dumb to see that your submissions are politically motivated and not borne out of a genuine concern for the Sarah Palin's adult daughter.[/quote]Political leanings? political inclinations? Heavens! Please tell me you are joking, LOL. Okay, believe it or not. . . I don't have one! I honestly couldn't careless about the GOP or the Democrats. Why do you doubt that? I mean is it too far-fetched to believe that there are people out there who don't get their blood pressure high over politics, to the point where every and any innocuous statement has an underlying meaning? Well today is your lucky day. . . you've met one.

You said Palin had to step up because they were making it an issue. The girl is Pregnant for goodness sakes, are you telling me it wouldn't have come out? Pray tell how they were gonna keep it on the downlow, under such intense scrutiny? Perhaps they were gonna tell curious cats, she had a big lunch or maybe they would have gone with the "Oh she's just gaining weight" excuse. LMOA! You act like we are talking about a little scratch here not pregnancy! Goodness!

I'm capable of knowing who to direct my. . . rage (?) at, thank you very much. Her mother. . . oh pardon me, her mother and FATHER knew she was pregnant, they knew what would happen when it comes out, they know how blood thirsty the American media is, that she will be used as a political talking point yet they did nothing to shield her from it. THAT. . . Uncle, is my problem.

As much as I would love to, I can't take credit for insulting your intelligence, you do a pretty good job of it by yourself.

Speaking of rage, I hear yellow, fluffy balls. . . with the smiley face, work wonders.

By the way, I loove how suddenly a 17 yrs old is now an Adult daughter. She can't vote, she can't buy herself a bottle of brewski, under the law she is still a minor but we'll just ignore that because it doesn't really flow with the agenda at hand. Lmao, talk about deceit.

Running Scared? Gudu-ing? What do you take me for. . . A coward? Puh-lease! You are talking to the girl who marked her face with black charcoal, armed with a Hockey stick and went on a kicking ass spree from Mando to Angwa Rimi in 30 mins flat. . . on foot.

Run?!

*Spits*

I am fearless and I take no prisoners!!! 

Sorry I've been MIA, I like to spread myself around here on nairaland . . ya know, give other people the pleasure of cursing me out. 



@ Ex Inferis
That exchange was Dis.gus.ting! I like it. . . just as long as you don't get us moved to sexuality section. Me no likey it over there, see I am but an innocent babe in the woods, butter won't melt in my mouth. ^{*bats eyelashes} Now, now Vesc, don't be that way, put the club down, Ex is your friend, besides I save the real batting for you ^{*Batting eyelashes harder & faster.}

Harder & Faster? Hmmm, me thinks Ex has somehow managed to slip me a dash of his eX-rated Juice.  Oh I'm unto you! You are not gonna corrupt this innocent girl, never!

Do I speak Hausa? Do I? Do I? Hmmm. Let's see, what do you think about only speaking Hausa to gossip? Okay before you start saying what an embarrassment I am, hear me out. . .  alright, imagine this -  I am with my sisters or cousins, we're at a gathering where people understand all the other language (mostly Yoruba and English), we see a girl walking around, all proud and tall, thinking she looks like Tyra Banks not knowing in reality she looks like Philip Banks and we wanna say "Oh my god! is she okay? What in the world is that? Heavens! What a horrible sight, yet I can't look away" but we can't say it coz. . . well coz we are supposed to be well brought up, so to keep the illusion of being well brought up, we speak Hausa. . . . does that count?


By the way, nice attempt trying to get the thread back on course but you gotta know, once it's derailed, it's derailed but I'm gonna help you out here and say

@ Topic

Yeah, I totally agree with you. Thanks for posting the article Ex. 




@ Vesc
Find anything interesting in the picture? Well let me tell you up front. . . whatever you see in the pictures, tells only a fraction of the real story. I'm not saying you shouldn't do whatever you wanna do, I'm just saying it's gonna leave you more curious. . . curiouser, alright which is it more curious or curiouser? Aah it doesn't matter, the point is you will be left with more questions than answers.

I once had a Mr. Vincent, a good teacher, a brilliant teacher and he liked me you see, because I was the ultimate apple polisher, yep that was me. . . then something curious happened. One day Mr. Vincent just disappeared. No one knew what happened to him, he must be lost they said, that's what he gets for walking to and from school. Nah, other's countered. . . Mr. Vincent, just went back to the planet he came from, he was too brilliant to have been from this world. Whatever the case may be, we never heard from Mr. Vincent again but now. . . I'm beginning to think maybe it's time to look into Mr. Vincent's disappearance again. Say. . . you don't mind telling me where you are, do you and please speak up in clear words please.

*turns on tape recorder*

OpeLovely is on the Lit section, you guys should drop by some time, that's where all the fun is at. . . trust me.

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=166454.msg2746504#msg2746504 date=1220405912]Do not insult our intelligence. If this was all about parenting, why have we gone through 5 pages and still no mention of the girl's father? The focus is solely on Mrs Palin for one reason and one reason only - political expediency.[/quote]If her father was the one running for VP, thrusting his daughter into the limelight in her condition, I will say the same thing. Honestly, If isn't because I will come off as an idealistic person with her head in the clouds, I would wonder out loud why people can't run for office when their children are old enough (21+) to handle the public scrutiny that comes with it. I feel sorry for kids stuck in the middle of this cesspool called politics.

So I don't get how I'm supposed to be insulting anyone's intelligence here.

LMAO! You are not serious.

Men!
