No satisfaction huh?

can't seem to get any and wild horses won't be dragging him away until he does. Maybe we could bribe him with some brown sugar, or at least entice the wild horses with it.

I just checked and he is not on my insurance list, no thanks.

:lol:

Oddly enough, I predicted we'd hear from the far left crowd about how the far right crowd would claim this is a terrible appointment...

So far I'm right, we'll have to wait to see if you are!

That right there is funny, that is!:good!:

I pay about as much attention to CNN as I would King of the Hill for political input, maybe, no probably less.

I never ceased to be amazed at the level of brainwashedness of a certain age group of our posters.

can't seem to get any and wild horses won't be dragging him away until he does. Maybe we could bribe him with some brown sugar, or at least entice the wild horses with it.

But who is going to tax wild horse farts????

Coming from Atlanta I suppose he will advise Americans to; "eat mor chickun."

No doubt we we will have a mad cow disease scare forthcoming, considering the Hindu holy cow taboo and some of their vegetarian tendencies, not to mention that India was aligned with the USSR during the cold war.


Seriously, since I had some dealings with the Gupta family in the past, I did some background checking and found they are one of the two most prominent families of India, they practically ruled India for around six hundred years.

The Gupta's and the Clintons are tighter than the proverbial ticks.

Vinod Gupta enjoys entertaining Hitlary and Slick Willy on the 'American Princess' which has an all female crew.

Gupta is payed by CNN to do it's research polls.

You probably get the picture by now.

Leanring to use the old pencil mashie, the Guptas have played quite loosely with corporate and campaign contribution laws.

Days before he left office, Clinton appointed Gupta to the Board of Trustees of the John F. Kennedy Center
of the Performing Arts.

Businessman Is One in a Million With Mega-Gift

Washington's millennium celebrations could use a few more folks like Vinod Gupta.

The Omaha businessman is the only donor to the New Year's festivities fund who has been identified by officials organizing the White House-promoted events on the Mall.

His seven-figure contribution was announced very publicly--at a September news conference with Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Since then, those federal officials and also the District officials putting together a separate city-sponsored party on Constitution Avenue NW have declined to name any other individuals who are helping to pay for the three days of celebration.

Which leaves Gupta, and his $1 million check, alone in the spotlight.

"I've been blessed with a lot of good fortune," he said, as if that alone might explain why he decided to help stage the White House show in such generous fashion.

He'd called the first lady's chief fund-raiser, Terry McAuliffe, to ask how he could assist, and was told money would be nice. "I figured, a million dollars is a million dollars, but what the hell."

Gupta is no stranger to fund-raisers.

He's given much and often to Democratic candidates and causes during the last eight years, including U.S. Sen. Bob Kerrey (Neb.), Bill Clinton, Al Gore, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee.

In 1997, public-interest groups accused him of buying his way into the running for the consular general post in Bermuda.

The job went to someone else.

A typical Gupta/CNN straw poll:

As one special interest big wig once said, if you don't know the data, make it up on the spot.

Can't wait for the air head backlash on this.

We will hear from the far right crowd how it is a terrible appointment.

Strike one!

Political Punch

Looks like the lefties don't like it!

well, if Michael Moore and Paul Krugman are opposed to Dr. Gupta, what more can be said? /sarcasm

I sincerely hope he's confirmed, if for no other reason than to give those two jacka$$es fits.

btw, Conyers is an idiot too. He's part of Michigan's problems and will only be part of the solution when he retires and moves to Guam.

I won't tell them you are actually Keith Richards if you don't.

Funny thing happened on the way to the forum.

Got a call from my old Vol fan, football watching buddy of thirty years or more on New Years Eve with an invitation (command) to attend his Eve party that night.

Since he has cable and there were some good games on, he throws the best parties around, has the best and most food of any parties and always has interesting guests, who was I to decline?

So Kieth's name came up during the festivities and there is a guy who lives in the area who played with Buddy Holly, wrote "Peggy Sue" and among other things had a visit from Richards once upon a time and said he had enough of Kieth by week three.

To cap the story he said they ran over to the Dickson Walmart one day to pick up some things and after he parked his truck and got out, he looked around and Kieth was rolling out onto the parking lot with a quart of Jack in one hand and a lit joint about the size of your average Churchill in the other.

He said he had to wrestle him back into the truck and explain;

"Kieth, this ain't London, this ain't New York, this ain't LA, this is Dickson, Tennessee and they will throw your dumb butt under the jail for acting like that!!"
