I got the following from my sis' former neighbor.
Remember after the recent November election, the liberals/democrats had this run of PEST Syndrome (Post Election Selection Trauma) due to the “unbelievable” result of GWB winning his second term? We now have version 2.0 of PEST. Over the last few days, when it became apparent that the Iraqi election will occur on time and the turnout is expected to be high, our home grown liberals/democrats are having a re-run of PEST. Henceforth PEST version 2.0. Since Thursday (our time) when the voting started in Australia, spread to the US and by Saturday evening (again our time) the election is being well embraced in Iraq, there had been a run on Prozac in certain (liberal/blue) cities in N. America, such as Boston, NYC and SFO. It got to be particularly bad in Boston that the local pharmaceutical suppliers had to call in shipment from Canada. I love this!!!
This could be an urban legend but was relayed to me by a friend whose brother in law is an Prozac supplier in Boston.
Yep, my sis' former neighbor, it probably is. Whenever you hear that it came from "a friend whose brother in law" it is almost always an urban legend. That doesn't make it any less funny though.
Now, on to the Yabbuts.
Well the Yabbuts are out if force today. Y'know, I think we should rename the Dimocrat Part the Yabbut Party as in "Yeah, Bush became president in 2000 but he was selected not elected". Here are more of 'em.
Yeah, Bush is president, but he is a moron.
Yeah, Bush is a moron, but he stole the 2000 election. (So the Dimocrats got outsmarted by a moron?)
Yeah, we Dimocrats lost in 2000, but we'll pick up seats in 2002. (They didn't which broke the common rule that the opposition party always picks up seats in midterm elections. What did Zell Miller say about the Dimocrat Party?)
Yeah, we should probably go into Afghanistan, but it will be a quaqmire. Look at how the British and Soviets failed there.
Yeah, we succeeded in overthrowing the Taliban, but we didn't capture bin Laden.
Yeah, Saddam has weapons of mass destruction, but the United Nations should take care of the problem. (Before you liberals get all over me, from 1998 to 2001 Dimocrats like Ted Kennedy, both Clintons, and John Fonda Kerry, using the same intelligence Bush and his advisors used, all stated publicly that Saddam possessed WMD's.)
Yeah, Social Security is facing minor problems, but all we need to do is a little tweaking to keep it solvent.
Yeah, Bush won in 2004, but that was because he stole 90,000 votes in Ohio. All we needed was 100 recounts and we could have manufactured enough votes to win.
Yeah, Bush won in 2004, but that was because everyone who voted for him was stupid.
Yeah, maybe the TANG memos were fake (Dan Rather still thinks that they are real), but they were true. (Fake but Accurate!)
Yeah, we lost in 2004, but that was because we didn't lie package our message very well.
Yeah, we lost the presidential election and seats in both the House and the Senate but it was because we were not liberal enough. (See Zell Miller above.)
Yeah, we support the troops, but we want them to lose the war.
Yeah, we could win the war in Iraq, but we will lose thousands of lives and the war will create 50,000 refugees.
Yeah, we could have an election in Iraq, but no one will vote.
Yeah, "It is significant that there is a vote in Iraq. But ... no one in the United States should try to over-hype this election." - Flipper, on Meet the Press yesterday.
It's fun. Listen to anyone in the Yabbut Party to get more of these.
Posted by denny at January 31, 2005 12:30 PMYes, that's what I love to hear. I come here everyday reading archives, getting information I can use to debate my moronic opposition, who's only stance is that "Bush is an idiot". Good stuff, you never fail to post things that help in the argument.
You also post boobage...another very important thing to me...don't forget boobage.
Posted by: Young Con on January 31, 2005 03:50 PMHere's a 'yabbut' that keeps me awake at night...
Yes, Bush is President for the next 4 years, BUT we still have to worry about FuckFace kerry, or that ugly bitch hillary running in '08.
Posted by: CharlieDelta on January 31, 2005 06:51 PMYou can bet on the BITCH to try in 08 but she will be a loser, we know shes a P O S
Posted by: Pharaoh on February 1, 2005 04:19 AMYes the Rodent can run in '08 but she will get her ass kicked. She thinks she would get all the female vote, most of the ladies I know cant stand her. Bieng she forgave her hubby for getting a knob job from Lewinski. I only could wish my wife would be so forgiving, I think she mentioned Bobbitizing me if I did that. Then you have the fact that she is just plain ULGY.
Posted by: Greg DiCroce on February 1, 2005 09:15 AMHow about this one. "Yeah, I support a woman's right to have an abortion, but we shouldn't put prisoners to death, they might be innocent".
Posted by: Anthony L. on February 1, 2005 10:31 AMAs Der Schwimmer said recently, "We are the minority party in the Congress, but we speak for the majority of Americans! YABBUT
Posted by: Ed Poinsett on February 1, 2005 12:37 PMLike this?
Yeah, the economy stinks, but it's Clinton's fault.
Posted by: Jimmy on February 1, 2005 05:19 PMHuh? The economy stinks? That's news to me. I'm richer than I've ever been. Haven't heard from you in a while Jimmy. How's your PEST and BDS?
Posted by: denny on February 1, 2005 06:43 PMDenny,
I had no idea that your personal wealth was such a baromoter for economic status. I take it back.
Honestly Denny, I agree with you about the PEST and the BDS. Buncha whining pussies. They should dry their eyes and get on with their lives.
Posted by: Jimmy on February 2, 2005 11:43 AMJimmy - Of course I see the economy through my own eyes. After all, I'm one of those eeeevil hated rich people that the Yabbut Party keeps talking about. I love to exploit poor people and keep 'em down.
But seriously, the economy is doing well. The Yabbuts and their supporters in the lamestream media are the ones saying it's tanking.
Posted by: denny on February 2, 2005 02:52 PMWe're told that we should emulate the Europeans and their economic model. Germany just reached 12.1% unemployment (up from their normal 10%).
Posted by: addison on February 2, 2005 05:28 PMOkay, maybe some of you just didn't get the reference.
The poor status of our economy during W's 1st term was touted by the Republican Party as a parting gift given to us by the Clinton Administration.
Whether you want to debate me on who's got a worse economy, or that our economy is great or not is besides the point. The point is that the Republican party publicly recognized the poor economy *at one point*, and had their own little "yabut" moment. We've all got'em, folks ... there's just not much else in the news right now. We're just hearing about it more now since the media is trying squeeze the last bits of the election momentum out.
And for the record, Barbra Boxer is a money/time-wasting backwards retard.
Posted by: Jimmy on February 2, 2005 06:13 PMYEAH, we hate Republicans and everything they stand for, BUT we are obviously the more tolerant party. - "Howard Dean"
YEAH, we respect and applaud blacks and latinos BUT they shouldn't be appointed to any positions of influence.
YEAH, I lost the presidential race, BUT did you know I served in Vietnam? - "John 'Fonda' Kerry"
YEAH, targeted mass killings of a particular ethnic group is genocide, BUT what's going on in the Sudan is not genocide. "Random UN Staffer"
YEAH, I *insert something here*, BUT "I did not inhale" - You know who.
YEAH, 3000 people died in the WTC attacks, BUT they were only the tools of fascist corporatism. (Okay, that's really UN-PC, but it's what these people think)
(On a similar terribly mean vein)
YEAH, the liberation of Auschwitz was an event to be remembered BUT shouldn't we be focusing on the mass murder of Palestinians in Zionist-Occupied Palestine? (Okay, that's Al-Jazeera, not the Dems, but you know)
YEAH, capitalism allowed me to raise money for my campaign, BUT it's a terribly unjust system and should of course be abolished.
YEAH, I voted for the Iraq war, BUT then I voted against it. (Paraphrased)
And the last, but not least.
YEAH, I left her alone in the bay, BUT I thought she could swim. - "Ted Kennedy"
Posted by: Mitsurugi Babaganoosh on February 2, 2005 06:19 PMBut Jimmy, the economy was tanking at the end of the Clinton Administration. Bush did inherit a recession. That's a fact. What's your point?
Posted by: denny on February 2, 2005 06:57 PMObviously, it's obscured.
Posted by: Jimmy on February 3, 2005 12:41 PMIt's obvious to the Federal Reserve or else they would not have raised interest rates. Obviously, it's obscured to you.
