  • driftersgold, on 11/01/2007, -37/+526I suffered through it and so did most of you. It is about time the rest of the nation experienced the initial pain and shock that we all went through.
    • janeuner, on 11/01/2007, -22/+11Did you see how the candidates responded? John Edwards didnt respond at all! He must not have a soul.
      • Drahkar, on 11/01/2007, -6/+31Soul or not, this is by far the funniest thing I've seen in a year. The nation and several Presidential candidates have officially be Goatse'd!! I can now sit back and muse the meaning of the universe as shock and disgust has been put back into balance among us all.
        • GawtMilk, on 10/10/2007, -6/+12And they say that people on the internet can act with enough maturity to appear on television...

          Oh, wait, no they don't. And it's because of things like this.
          • Drahkar, on 10/10/2007, -3/+13You say that like the people on TV act with even a small amount of Maturity. Half the morons on the Net learned it from watching TV. Hello Pot, I'm kettle.
      • ThndrShk2k, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9I would have to say that this is the best layed out prank to hit Digg.com in a while.
        Think about it. Who was pranked here?
    • OMGWTFROFLMAOx2, on 11/01/2007, -8/+115Youtube link? Would love to see hillary and obama's reaction.

      In any case, they are now officially part of the internet. Welcome!
    • MrSpontaneous, on 10/10/2007, -15/+34Its down.

      Coral caught it: http://beginnorth.com.nyud.net:8090/blog/?p=93
    • texpundit, on 10/10/2007, -5/+24Who here wants to bet that the guy who did that video is banned from YouTube...for life...?
      • ccanni1028, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14He probably made a separate account for that, so he wouldn't get caught.
      • nogami, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Was that the best he could think of? Goat is only about a decade old now...
        • Cerialthriller, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3yeah, a Ron Paul picture with a DO NOT WANT!!! caption would have been awesome as well
    • billymonster, on 10/10/2007, -14/+81http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e91/tvarchbold/goatse_tubgirl04.jpg
      • blahtastic, on 10/10/2007, -2/+63You can actually look at this picture. It's just a campaign sticker. (incase you were afraid of the possible combination like i was...but curiosity prevailed anyways)
        • bonedead, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9Haha, that was one of the most terrifying things I've done at work. Thank Stephen Colbert it was just a campaign sticker.
      • BobOki, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Hey, if I have to have an ***** in office, at least make it obvious!
    • blorc, on 10/10/2007, -5/+57I love the Internet.
    • Renton, on 10/10/2007, -11/+200Looks like Bush isn't the biggest ***** in politics anymore.
      • w33tz, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Bush offends me more than Goatse...my college denied us rights to lock our computers so everytime i went to the printer i got goatse'd or meatspan...also beleive me my mate gaz knows some far worse shocksites than goatse!
      • crushfan, on 10/10/2007, -3/+3I salute you, sir.
      • brad3378, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1You're assuming he's not the Goatse man?
    • jpell, on 11/06/2007, -4/+127Sorry to break it to you all, but this didn't actually happen. That is a satire blog. You guys think that 200,000 people reported it, yet this isn't on the news? Come on, people.
      • malaak, on 10/10/2007, -2/+36Damn, that's twice I've been duped by goatse!
        • iamorlando, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21we all remember that first time ;-)
          • snypa, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8And we all try to forget that first time.
      • Ebeniz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+44AND.. you can't display something on TV for 1/24th of a sec... TV is 30 frames a second (Actually it's 29.95 FPS) in NTSC
        • LogicBomB, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2TV (interlaced) is also half a frame for 1/60th of a second and the second half of the frame for 1/60th of a second. But that's another story altogether.
          • SerifTheRobot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If you want to get technical, NTSC 29.97 FPS video can be rendered or shot to emulate 24 frames per second by exploiting interlacing. This is called 2, 3 pulldown, in which case it could actually be 1/24th of a second.
        • NihilFist, on 10/10/2007, -3/+21Nerds.
        • supimscott, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4YouTube video is based on Flash video which doesn't operate at the 29.97 NTSC broadcast standard. It's possible that the YouTube was encoded at 24 fps.
      • CarolynMittens, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3yeah come to think of it I watched the entire debate and I don't remember being goasted...
    • Shadow503, on 10/10/2007, -2/+33The one time *PICTURES* didn't convince me to visit the link...
    • Jaq524, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Does anyone else here happen to remember that "detalesBlog" makes stuff up? Come on, this didn't happen! It's a joke!
    • Shinig4mi, on 10/10/2007, -2/+74It would be great it if were true, but unfortunately it isn't.... it's a HOAX.

    • gtapro92, on 10/10/2007, -6/+0lol how ironic i got this email from edwards newsletter

      Something happened in last night's CNN/YouTube debate.

      A stark difference between the candidates became clear. When John Edwards said what needed to be said, if we want "real change, big change, bold change...we can't trade our insiders for their insiders." And then urged all of us to stand up for what really matters.

      Watch the video that everyone is talking about - and help continue last night's momentum by showing your support for John Edwards by contributing today:

      www.johnedwards.com/hair

      Take a look at the moment in the debate that everyone needs to see and help spread the word by sending the link on to your friends and family.

      www.johnedwards.com/hair

      According to CNN, viewers rated that moment the highest of all the candidates - but more importantly it has sparked thousands to join our cause.

      Because if you believe this country needs fundamental change - not compromise, not triangulation, not empty rhetoric - then there is something important that all of us need to understand from John's words last night:

      "The people who are powerful in Washington - big insurance companies, big drug companies, big oil companies - they are not going to negotiate. They are not going to give away their power. The only way that they're going to give away their power is if we take it away from them."

      Those interests are not going to fund our campaign. Far from it - they are going to do everything they can to stop us. And, that is why if we are really ready to stand up for what matters:

      * Ending the war in Iraq.
      * Taking on the insurance companies and HMOs to fight for universal health care.
      * Taking on the oil industry and fundamentally changing our energy policies to end global warming.
      * Taking on the powerful who care about nothing but profits and greed at the expense of working people, the middle class and the poor.
      * And returning our government of the people to the people.

      It's up to us.

      Either we fund this campaign and make the difference or it falters because I guarantee you no one else will.

      What really matters?

      What you do now - really matters.

      Contribute and spread the word about the one candidate and the one campaign that will change America.

      www.johnedwards.com/hair

      Thank you for everything you do,

      --Joe Trippi
      John Edwards for President
    • mgjersey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1HOAX HOAX HOAX This has already been exposed as a huge HOAX.
    • RobsaysHello, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Damn, I was hoping to help welcome unwired masses to goatse consciousness. What a letdown.
  • ZWarren69, on 10/10/2007, -34/+20That is hilarious!
    • TehdBerg, on 10/10/2007, -16/+29No, it's not. This was a great idea, allowing any average citizen to ask a question. Now, some jackass set the respect level for the Internet community and the common citizen back a few years. See if this happens again on such a wide scale. I'm ashamed.
      • tnvwboy, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12I agree. I'm sure some less mature individuals will find it amusing, but it's inappropriate. We are seeing a real and valued interest by candidates towards what Internet savvy individuals think and someone had to be a joker? I hope the person that submitted the tainted video is publicly humiliated for this.
        • juicebag, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Humiliated? Yeah, right. Showing a shock image to presidential candidates will get him freakin' worshipped.
      • knde, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6And what I find saddening is that on any given day, you'll read comments from Diggers criticizing the downhill turn that political discourse in America has taken.

        And yet.....someone somewhere thought it would be amusing to pull such a stunt. On a nationwide scale, the average American was given the chance to address valid questions to a future president; and GOATSE is what you get. Gah!
        • Detritus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3As a 28 year old, white male, small business owner, living in (according to NY Times) the top 5th income bracket, I feel I was well represented in this debate.


          Goatse is the only thing I want to show these plutocratic assholes.
          • mhender, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0Yeah well...I'm 27, medium business owner, living in (according to NY times) the top 4th income bracket. I feel you should eat a fatty.
          • Rukaribe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I'm a 21 year old healthy person who works at a bar and according to the NY Times is high right now.
      • WiseWeasel, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Aw, you mean a major news network won't be able to leverage Youtube's success to drive interest in their worthless "debate" anymore? I'm heartbroken...
      • Detritus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I think you're overly simplifying the situation; this isn't simply the "younger" internet community behaving badly in front of the old media. This is the internet community telling old media, "The circle is now complete... when I left you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master!"

        Look at the rich diversity of ideas presented here on Digg alone, from radical libertarians spamming Ron Paul 9/11 Truth stories, to fascist apologists getting uppity at everyone. All political views are present, and we have no interest in old media's loyalty to their 2 parties.

        I was born and raised to vote Democrat, but I know a Democrat signed the DMCA. Sure Democrats look like the lesser of two evils, but they look no less fascist when their poster boy signs over consumers and their rights to corporate interests. I'm not just apathetic, or disenfranchised or any of the other ***** CNN wants to label me; I'm informed and ***** pissed.

        Kudos to the guy who pulled this off, let us hope this is merely a salvo in a much larger campaign of culture jamming this election!
        • ProvoloneNinja, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2100% agree. This is epic if its true though and Tubgirl in the situation room would be hysterical also.

  • lordtyros, on 10/10/2007, -38/+10HAHAHAHA ***** old media
  • skjede, on 10/16/2007, -22/+233Just goes to show that the internet will always have the last laugh.
    • dallyp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7From the Wikipedia article on Goatse.cx

      "# [11]
      # In July 2007, an Internet Hoax was submitted to digg.com [12] and other social media sites. The hoax claimed that the goatse image made it on to CNN during the CNN-YouTube presidential debates. The news made it big until people realized that it was just photoshopped images."

      Weird.
    • mgjersey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0People like to believe stupid things without verification.
  • anteyekon4myst, on 10/10/2007, -21/+7As amusing as this is...someone took the time to watch the video frame by frame (1/24 second per frame)?
    • capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -7/+12do you feel sad because someone is getting 24 times as much life as you?
    • amnezia22, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Pretty sure the human eye is capable of picking out images at 24 frames per second otherwise we'd all have vision like half life on a 486

      According to the article 200,000 people registered complaints
  • patbenetar, on 10/10/2007, -26/+294I gotta disagree...this is only going to keep national media from cooperating with user driven sites. It will ultimately be used as an excuse to stifle free speech. Not at all worth the laugh
    • nicko68, on 10/10/2007, -12/+26I'm with you. It's sad the lengths people need to go to to entertain themselves.
      • PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3more like the widths people need to go to entertain themselves.....EEEOHH!!!
      • PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3M
    • TheInfamousOne, on 10/10/2007, -5/+34I agree, this was a good first step taken by CNN and YouTube, and now, because of this, it will probably be quite a while before it happens again.
    • xtmno3, on 10/10/2007, -12/+4"It will ultimately be used as an excuse to stifle free speech."
      Why, because people say or do things you don't like?
      • StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9This will be used to stifle free speech because... when CNN attempted to actually step into the 21st century where a great deal of information is exchanged over the internet, someone decided to play a "little prank" that will inevitable result in backlash against CNN. Why, therefore, should CNN, necessarily, expose themselves to half-witted twits again? Therefore, they will not display information that might have, otherwise, been beneficial to the rest of the nation that is not nearly as skilled at surfing the internet or websites such as DIGG. And even IF you think people that can't surf the internet are too stupid to matter, they do; every vote counts, every voice matters, and information should be dispersed as widely as possible in order that all people be educated. That is, after all, the heart of Democracy: an educated public capable of making informed decisions.
      • kooft, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Opposing opinions are always worth listening to, but this image brought nothing to the debate and only stands to harm the validity of the Internet community as a whole. I'm not suggesting you should be denied the right to swap pictures of a man's distended anus, just that it wasn't appropriate at this debate.
    • JeffH, on 10/10/2007, -6/+11Not really. If this happened years ago maybe so, but the internet and particularly user-driven media have gotten so big that they can't lock theirselves out for long. Hell, the only reason they pulled this move in the first place is because they know that YouTube is replacing their network as the place to go for video entertainment.
    • j0ew00ds, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4Not true. It won't be business-smart for a major news outlet to not cooperate with new media. If they don't, someone else will.
    • antibastard, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1i agree with you in theory (i.e. it being a childish and unnecessary prank) but i don't think it will stop or slow down this movement significantly. the vast majority of people watching didn't know and will NEVER know that it happened, and therefore there is very little collateral damage. they'll just be much more careful in the future (which they should have been in the first place, this is a pretty major screwup)
      • olsonea, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Careful? Screwup? This was malicious.
    • alappat1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Yeah, and somebody at CNN or Youtube is gonna lose their job over this.

      As a certain comedian would say "SOMEBODY'S gonna get hurt REAL BAD"
  • d3lta, on 10/16/2007, -7/+48anyone found a video link for this? I wonder if they found and removed it in time, wouldn't bet on it going by the number of times CNN aired and "anal"ysed it
    • kylesellers, on 10/10/2007, -45/+22Yes. Here is a direct link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

      • seand, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19You deserve a free trip in a ROFLCOPTER!
      • hassanchop13, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9should have taken out pulp fiction. leave the rest
      • Charlotte_Web, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Also take off Phenomenon, Get Shorty, Primary Colors, Grease, and Welcome Back Kotter.

        Oh, and who can resist The Boy in the Plastic Bubble? :-D
      • otaking, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1and the television shows :p
  • kylesellers, on 10/10/2007, -23/+17Silliest. Debate. Ever.

    A goddamn snowman got to ask a question? And we're supposed to take these guys seriously?
    • MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+4I liked the snowman question. It was rather creative and asked a valid question while lightening the mood.

      When the world sucks, it's nice to be able to make light of it. Otherwise, how would you get through life?
    • rblancarte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I agree. I mean, this was a really good chance for people to get into the political process, and in turn because people wanted to be funny or act like kids, it was brought down to these levels.

      Of course, that being said, this is mostly on YT and CNN, they should have done a better job of policing the video that was going to be put up for the debate.
    • 0xbaadf00d, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12Q: Who was your favorite teacher, and why?

      Yup, tough questions there.
  • stellarceltic, on 10/10/2007, -6/+53Mirror or it didn't happen
  • slipdisc2, on 10/10/2007, -15/+4Oh that was very clever. But this one time, at band camp......
  • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -15/+6Is this SFW?
    • BigSax, on 10/10/2007, -1/+68If you think something with "goatse'd" and "*pictures*" in the title is could be anything but NSFW it must be your first day on the internet.
    • Homunculiheaded, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Actually, if you can eventually get to the site, it surprisingly is SFW. The image is very small and blurry, if I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking for it would have been hard to tell. I don't know if I'd bring it up during an office powerpoint presentation, but i think it would be pretty difficult for a passerby to recognized what it was.
      edit: it looks like the are hoping to have people submit more pictures, so it may become NSFW
    • arbulus, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1I'm fully aware of Goatse's NSFW status. What I was curious about was what I would find if I clicked the link; if the story contained a big picutre of it that would be easly seen from my surrounding workstations.
  • HenvY, on 10/16/2007, -17/+149Clinton and Obama winced...I assume the others are desensitized to assholes?
  • lcstein, on 10/10/2007, -22/+4Different link since that one is dead

    http://beginnorth.com/blog/
    • lcstein, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Works if you google it first...didn't know it was the same link lol
    • stellarceltic, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0dead too
  • masterstanf2k, on 10/10/2007, -11/+5Anyone care to explain how this happened?
  • KnightMareInc, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3mirror?
  • alexkehr, on 10/10/2007, -9/+1Haha. The site is down and I haven't seen it... but I know it's funny.


    Ahhh.. the site is working again.
  • unloud, on 10/10/2007, -25/+13CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL!
  • ladon86, on 10/10/2007, -15/+4Am I being naive by asking... SFW?
  • k1down, on 10/10/2007, -63/+9Let me just say:

    ha... hahaha hehehehe... you guys... wait wait
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
  • SpazticChips, on 10/10/2007, -15/+10Haha, how did that get there? CNN breached from the inside? All their base are belong to us?
    • seanc6610, on 10/10/2007, -4/+4Someone submitted a question, then put goatse in there for 1/24th of a second and, somehow, it made it through the filters at CNN.
  • matdwyer, on 10/10/2007, -12/+6Who ever said politics was for assholes?
  • Beetlesweb, on 10/10/2007, -5/+70Oh my word...Goatse never gets any LESS gross does it?!
    • rokinroj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+20it does begin to look a little better, but only after having seen "tub girl"...blek!
      • PaperMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3I'll give you the same stunning mental imagery I inflicted on folks early this morning... imagine Goatse and tubgirl on a date....
      • Kr4t05, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The carnage... The utter carnage... Excuse me whilst I lobotomize myself.
      • pivovy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1We can say "goatsed by tubgirl", right? But can we say "tubgirled by goatse" ?
    • texpundit, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Lemon Party FTW!
    • crgnetworks, on 10/10/2007, -12/+3http://www.meatspin.com
    • Lennalf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Anybody subscribe to the theory that goatse is actually a hermaphrodite with a gaping vagina? Look close enough and you'll see what looks like a second hole above...
      • petereality, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1*look* ?? *close* ?? u sir have gone off yr rocker.
  • Slackersrule, on 10/10/2007, -14/+21Someone needs to Rick Roll them.
  • joeycerone, on 10/10/2007, -11/+34will have over 10,000 diggs within a few hours.
  • theGimpboy, on 10/10/2007, -12/+1http://www.duggmirror.com
  • REM333, on 10/10/2007, -18/+100http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/6513/cnngo2gn8.jpg

    This is the highest resolution pic from that site.
  • deutscheBag, on 10/10/2007, -10/+36CNN response: It was a wardrobe malfunction
  • ctrlaltphreak, on 10/10/2007, -10/+3why does dugg mirror hotlink the images? means all you gets the txt cos original site's down.
    • freehunter, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I agree with you, duggmirror should mirror the images as well. You're probably being dugg down because you are asking for a mirrored image of goatse, though.
  • reed311, on 10/10/2007, -45/+6Youtube mirror: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2b1D5w82yU

  • webmasterjoe, on 10/10/2007, -5/+41Um, if CNN is broadcasting on TV, then it was using NTSC, which is (almost) 30fps. Now if we're talking CNN the movie, then maybe it was 24fps.

    Can't comment on the rest of the story because the server died.
    • chowdah, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1429.97 fps to be precise
    • merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6I believe the point was that the youtuber in question inserted 1/24th of a second of goatse, intentionally, because at NTSC, that's pretty much guaranteed to result in at least 1 full frame of goatse broadcast -- 1/24 > 1/29.97
      • webmasterjoe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3If the youtube video was in 24fps, then the 3:2 pulldown would have guaranteed only a 60% chance that the full frame was shown - otherwise the frame would be split over two frames, with the previous and next frames interlaced in. If he wanted to guarantee at least one full frame, he should have used 30fps progressive.

        This is a bit overkill for the topic at hand, though, and I don't know what youtube does regarding framerates (does it keep the same as the original, convert to 15/24/30, or set a max of 30, for example).
    • mgjersey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1newsflash: It was a photoshop HOAX. It never happened.
  • richgustavson, on 10/10/2007, -7/+67EPIC.
  • revenge7, on 10/10/2007, -9/+14Why did they have to use videos? Can't people just email their question?
    • TimmyGUNZ, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Or record your questions and have them pre-screened before they are aired.
      • HellDonut, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0They *were* pre-screened. They were hand picked but the guy managed to fool them.
        • SPECOPS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6The only one's fooled, was "us" - this whole thing is a hoax/fake.
    • MacEnvy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3That's basically the same as a "town hall style" debate with pre-received questions, and they do that too. This was just testing out a new format. I think it went over pretty well.
    • Mand0lesi, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Advertisement for Google/Youtube, of course. They are the co-sponsors with CNN.
  • chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -8/+155Tyler Durden strikes again.
    • coyote1284, on 10/10/2007, -4/+19Operation Mayhem is officially in action
      • BohicaTwentyTwo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Shh, We are not supposed to talk about it.
      • fatlip, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7you mean project mayhem? time to watch it again!
  • alexanEmpire, on 10/10/2007, -24/+16I can has mirror?

  • dan_s, on 10/10/2007, -5/+15Even if it isnt true... it just goes to show you democracy in action. :)
  • stevenmu, on 10/10/2007, -14/+5I wonder if CNN will try to claim it was an anal 'malfunction'
  • Ninjao, on 10/10/2007, -20/+11Oh.... this is great :D

    Internet: 1 // Real word: 0
    • kooft, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Spell Checker: 1 // Ninjao: 0
    • chowdah, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10spell check wouldn't have seen that because 'word' is a real world.
    • tidu, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Oh, I believe the Real World has scored over the internet millions of times.
      Internet: 1 Real World: ∞
      • DarKnight90, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4There's no such thing as the Real World. Only AFK.
    • bonedead, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Internet actually has 2, remember the Olympic goatse logo?
    • crushfan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Doesn't the Real World include Internet? So it should be:

      REAL WORLD PWNS TEH INTERWEBS!!1
  • SirBotchness, on 10/10/2007, -7/+96next on CNN, tubgirl
    • enivid, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15"Tubgirl in the situation room."
    • TimmyGUNZ, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Nah, I think they need a LemonParty instead.
    • nuclearpenguins, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Does it involve Nancy Grace?
    • Wolfanoz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Nancy Grace meets tubgirl and ceiling cat on the next Larry King!
    • slagmacg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I really, really want to bury this thread of comments, but I can't stop laughing at it.

  • Etchii, on 10/10/2007, -9/+72F'n GREAT!
    Honestly, I don't want a president running the war who can't handle the goatse picture.
    • Lasereth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Ha ha ha ha. Must be born in the US. Must be 35 years of age. Must view goatse and be repulsed as his citizens have.
    • insomniac8400, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Yeah, but no one wants the next president to be running a war. Everyone wants the war over. So your criteria is moot.
  • Supernova36, on 10/10/2007, -15/+3Karma?
  • Kinkistyle, on 10/10/2007, -35/+36Well the mascot for the Democratic Party is the ASS...

    ...just saying
    • webmasterjoe, on 10/10/2007, -20/+4Fascinating. I can say stupid inflammatory things too. CNN is biased and Fox News presents a much clearer story of what is REALLY happening! The banana is the perfect mascot against evolution! Circumcisions should be illegal!

      There, don't we all feel better now?
    • ayeroxor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Hahah! You called people you don't agree with a potty word! Way to show 'em!
  • kirtap, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8lets give the republicans tubgirl!
