jesus fucking christ, ok! I'll settle for the cult never EVER working properly again but can we at least get the ignore feature back?

Why is this a thread? this barely even qualifies as a pointless announcement!

I thought it was very amusing. I got a big kick out of it, and I wanted to share it. I'm sorry you didn't like it, but I don't think you really had to take such a harsh, rude tone. I never, ever complain about someone's threads, even if I do think they're stupid. It's easy enough for me just to glance over them and not open them. I'm sorry you don't feel the same way. In the future, why don't you just not click open my threads. Thanks.

The best part is that she hung up on him twice. Also, since she claimed she thought she was being 'punked' she killed the term for all future pranks. It kind of had one foot in the grave anyway.

Well, I don't blame her, especially since they got Sarah Palin so bad! It's just pretty funny that she not only hung up on Obama, but Rahm Emanuel as well! Also her remark to Obama about how it was a pretty good impression. lolz

That Sarah Palin thing was pretty hilarious. I couldn't believe she didn't figure out it was a joke.

And "better than the guy on Saturday Night Live" - that was good. I can't imagine how lame that show is going to be with him in office. Impersonations of Obama just don't have the character that some other people do. Of course, McCain wasn't great to watch parodied either.

Thanks for posting, Bug. Nate, there's a natural ignore button, it's the mouse you used to click the thread. You don't even have to click it for it to work! A button you don't even have to push...

Yeah, this was pretty funny. I thought it was gonna be she hung up on him in anger or something. But yeaah, I bet she's loving the publicity, even if she is embarassed.

This was sad and funny:

Sadly for the beleaguered congresswoman, her press release contained a number of spelling mistakes. The most notable among them: mis-spelling Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel (Barak Obama and Rahm Emmanuel).
