In Ireland, they've taken to calling the Taioseach “Biffo,” and old Irish term that stands for “big, ignorant fool from Offaly,” or words to that effect. (Offaly is a county in Ireland, and yes, that's what Brian calls home.)

So what's wrong with these guys asking for the tape? Seems like this is the kind of thing that is routinely released. Every public utterance a president makes gets taped. It just seems odd that this one isn't being released. I voted for Obama and support most of his program, but his teleprompter problems have become embarrassing for him. Why not release it? That's the easiest way to prove or disprove the whole thing.

And by the way, my wife teaches special ed and the Trig Palin name is pretty offensive. Right or wrong on the tape issue, you should be ashamed of yourself for using that name.

Gee thanks. I guess it's the opposite of being an “idiot” to make a post under the name of a Down Syndrome baby. Just continues to show us, you libs are all heart.

Oh, I see Todd is here too.

Where were you guys during the Bush administration with your concern for governmental transparency?

Just saying maybe you would look like such asshats if you guys hadn't been against it before you were for it.
