Hey, *sshole, the Supreme Court called it right, and all the major media recounts confirmed the original vote... and yes, he is both arrogant and uppity... thanks for providing the correct word to use.
Yep, yep and yep.
Ya know, for a socialist, this editor's got some good points. : )
""Even if you never met him, you know this guy," Rove reportedly told the congressional Republicans. "He's the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette, that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone."
The definition of arrogant generally goes something like this: "Having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance." The arrogant individual, dictionaries tell us, display "a feeling or assumption of one's superiority toward others."
Sounds like Karl Rove is spot on when he describes That One as 'arrogant', because he truly embodies the definition of the word.
If the author of the article thinks it's code for 'uppity', it must mean that the AUTHOR thinks that about That One.;o)
But he could not claim the title of "uppity" according to the DNC Propagand Machine.
He was a "monster."
Uppity to me is just another but not as strong way of saying someone is arrogant.
Uppity to me is someone pretending to be what they are not and behaving in a stroppy manner.
To use a very old fashion comment someone who is above their station and assume they are entitled.
Rove You magnificent bastard!!!!
“”Even if you never met him, you know this guy,” Rove reportedly told the congressional Republicans. “He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette, that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone.”
Hahahahahaha...except, in Bammy’s case, he is with a date that looks like an NFL tight end in drag...no Bawney Fwank jokes, please...
John Nichols is a tool, ignorant of the partisan Florida Supreme Court's attempt to circumvent Florida law, and proud of it.
John Nichols is what happens to decent folks who fry their brains on college party drugs and to those who offer their backsides to any available hard ons.
Not at all.
And Rove is not the first to suggest it.
In his biography of Obama, which is generally positive, Chicago Tibune reporter David Mendell, noted:
"Managing Obama's healthy ego has been one of the more trying tasks for his staff and paid consultants. As Obama himself will acknowledge, his mother went to great lengths to shore up her son's confidence..."As a consequence, there was no shortage of self-esteem," Obama told me with a wry smile.
In a politician, a show of grandiose ego can be off-putting and cost support from all quarters -- media, colleagues, and, in particular, constituents -- and there were moments in the Senate campaign that when I found myself in the midst of the effort to reign in Obama's ego."
Richard Epstein, UofC law professor, widely respected Constitutional expert, and former colleague of Obama, as quoted in the Chicago Tribune:
"Obama, he says, is very good at listening respectfully and articulating all sides of an issue, but usually only as the lead-in to adopting a predictably liberal position. He describes his former colleague as an unreconstructed New Dealer who "has never met a mandate that he would vote against.So whatever free-market truth and wisdom Obama may have absorbed during his years on the University of Chicago campus, Epstein doubts we will be seeing much of it in the new Obama administration."
"Obama comes from the tradition that thinks you can get your way on social justice and economic issues without affecting productivity very muchand that's simply living in a dream world," he says. Obama and his economics team "are very smart, but the problem is these high-IQ guys always think they can square the circle; they always believe they can beat the system with a cleverer system, and they always fail."
Arrogance.
Well I think he’s arrogant. I wouldn’t have called him uppity because of potential racial overtones, but John Nichols is right, he uppity, our uppity President.
:::::::::::
You can have arrogant and uppity — I will take authoritarian, oppressive, ultra-radical, anti-Constitutional and fanatic. As witnessed beyond question with his recent directive to the DHS to alert law-enforcement agencies to ANYONE who opposes his position and actions as “right-wing extremist and potentially terrorist”. That of course was his very “American” response to the Tea Parties. It all speaks LOUDLY for itself.
He is a hateful, vindictive racist.
John, John--Hussein is arrogant.
You're shooting his colonoscopy as an homage.
I think the derogatory comments that Oshama made behind closed doors about people who cling to guns and religion show that he IS supremely arrogant.
