(CNN) — A Florida congresswoman – convinced she was being prank-called by a Barack Obama sound-alike – hung up on the actual president-elect Wednesday.Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was told by an aide that Obama wanted to speak with her. According to a statement released by her office, the Republican congresswoman cut off the caller, telling him she thought “this is a joke from one of the South Florida radio stations known for these pranks.” She then hung up.

Obama’s future White House chief of staff, Rahm Emmanuel – a fellow congressman – then called her to let her know she’d actually been speaking with the future commander-in-chief. Ros-Lehtinen, convinced the call was another hoax, hung up on him, too.

Finally, an aide told Ros-Lehtinen she had an urgent call from Chairman Howard Berman, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. Still suspicious, Ros-Lehtinen urged the California Democrat to recount a story only both of them would know.

Berman passed the test — and told her she had, in fact, hung up on President-elect Obama.

When an amused Obama called again, Ros-Lehtinen he was either “very gracious” to reach across the aisle by contacting her, or “had run out of folks to call, if you are truly calling me.” Otherwise, she said, Saturday Night Live “could use a good Obama impersonator like you.” The Obama transition team declined comment on the incident.

This lady should be removed from office immediately. I mean are you fucking kidding me?  Isn’t it better to be the butt of a not funny joke on some radio station than to be her now?

How many times has this happened, the old thought it was a prank actually wasn’t routine is so old now that any 12 year old can discern the two.  As a representative of the people of Florida, this woman should be ashamed of herself and banished to Arkansas where morons like her are a dime a dozen.

Cue the Chicken Little quotes! McCain is ahead in the polls. My greatest fear is coming true. I have been saying since the beginning that there would be two big problems facing Obama once he got locked in as the democratic candidate.

The first is the experience factor. It is really easy to buy into the romance and rhetoric he so eloquently spews, but a lot of people in this country are going to get some real cold feet as the election nears. I have been saying this for a while, Obama’s poll numbers have consistently dropped since the convention. Reality is setting in with the voters, and they are gravitating to McCain. The problem is that most love to talk about change, but in the end they fear it. This does not bode well for Obama.

The second problem is going to be at the polls. How many closet racist democrats are there out there? I am convinced we have a good amount of people in this country who you may think are open minded, normal, liberal folk that are actually racist pricks. Once they get behind that curtain and the moment of truth is upon them, many will revert to their podunk ways and vote McCain.

My first prediction is happening as we speak, but I sincerely hope the American people prove me wrong at the polls. Please America, don’t turn out to be the simple minded, change fearing, closet racist pricks that my deep cynicism tells me you may be.

Holy god damn mother fucking shit did she just ask what the Vice President of the United States of America does everyday? Ummm….. I’m starting to think that this chick might not be qualified. I mean just the fact that she talks like Frances McDormand in Fargo scares the shit out of me.

Oh Shit, forget it I take that back. She is obviously qualified, my bad. Wow. What the hell was she looking at in that video. More importantly, who the hell are the Winnipeg Jets?

Oh crap, Canada get your asses ready. If these two win I’ll be on the first Greyhound to Winnipeg to see these “Jets” in action. Man this is scary, a gun toting, failed alaskan sportscaster that doesn’t know what the Vice President does… is running for Vice President. What a country!

Whoah! Whoah! Whoah! I have made a big mistake. Cancel the Greyhound tickets, consider My vote cast, I am officially a MILFican.

According to reports in the newspaper De Telegraaf, the country’s intelligence service, the AIVD, has stopped an espionage operation aimed at infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in Iran.

“The operation, described as extremely successful, was halted recently in connection with plans for an impending US air attack on Iran,” said the report.

“Targets would also be bombed which were connected with the Dutch espionage action.”

“Well placed” sources told the paper that a top agent had been recalled recently “because the US was thought to be making a decision within weeks to attack Iran with unmanned aircraft”.

rest of story here

This is pretty astounding for two reasons. First obviously is that The Dutch seem to think that an attack is imminent to the point where they would take their people out. If Bush does this, whether it is necessary or not, he will cement his legacy as the most globally hated president in the history of The United States.

Second, and this is the more surprising of the two. The Dutch have spies? I thought they just smoked weed and banged whores all day. They are running “an espionage operation aimed at infiltration and sabotage of the weapons industry in Iran”? Who the fuck do they think they are? Are we even running one of those? A lot of questions I know, but I was taken aback by this news.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been to Amsterdam and I loved it. It was one of the best cities I have ever been to. I also thought the people were great, but damn, I have a new found respect for The Dutch after reading this. That’s quite the operation for people who can’t even decide where they are from.

The Netherlands, Holland, Dutch, Danish? What the fuck are you people?

Either way, nice work with the infiltration and sabotage thing there fellas, kudos.

Mr. Goodman, who helped craft Sen. John McCain’s health care policy, said anyone with access to an emergency room effectively has insurance, albeit the government acts as the payer of last resort. (Hospital emergency rooms by law cannot turn away a patient in need of immediate care.)

“So I have a solution. And it will cost not one thin dime,” Mr. Goodman said. “The next president of the United States should sign an executive order requiring the Census Bureau to cease and desist from describing any American – even illegal aliens – as uninsured. Instead, the bureau should categorize people according to the likely source of payment should they need care.

So, there you have it. Voila! Problem solved.”

I am really not even sure what to say about this, McCain employs this cat? I know John McCain is old, but I didn’t realize he is “crazy great uncle with the rose colored glasses on” old.

The answer to the American People being upset about the lack of health insurance is to… just stop saying there are people without insurance? Then we’ll think everyone has insurance?!?!?! What the…

Let’s also have the next president sign an executive order renaming Iraq “West Dakota”. This way everyone can stop bitching about bringing home the troops, they’re in the U.S. already.

He can sign another one that makes a liquid gallon half the size it used to be and Voila, gas is $2.oo a gallon. The possibilites are endless with this, chalk up another amazing innovation for the Republicans.

Are you fucking kidding me? How ridiculously fat do you have to be to need a microwave in your car. You really can’t wait until you get where you are going to eat your ham and cheese hot pocket? This is a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the world. Impatient multi-taskers are a risk to everyone around them. I can see the headline now:

“Fat bastard driving big gas guzzling vehicle sending text messages while heating up a burrito runs over fat kid on Segway with donut”
