Technically that's Bond market, and banking theory, not stock...

So. What's your opinion of Telepromptergate?

It's retarded.

The what now?

Political extremists are suing to have Obama removed from office for pulling a Milli Vanilli. Essentially, they claim that people didn't vote for the real Obama because he covered up himself as a candidate by using a teleprompter.

Great. So that means we can pull Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck off the air now, right? I mean, clearly they're hiding something as well...

It's a troll, and the fact that we're discussing it at all means that it was an effective one.

Hmm. I seem to recall Obama participating in about 25 debates, sans teleprompter. Seemed to do okay.

This is a pretty good analysis of what Prompter'gate' is about.

So that's the worst they can come up with?

Frank, that makes the retardation worth something.

Yes, but it's good enough for the Red States.

Once upon a time, (word)gate implied an actual scandal, something that might be worth impeaching (or, you know, ARRESTING) someone over.

Like inventing a reason to send countless troops to a war, then lying at recruitment so people signed on as engineers find themselves walking on the frontline with a firearm, dragging the rest of the world into the pointless conflict, flushing trillions of dollars down the toilet, only destablising the region even more and making the locals actually hate you more, kidnapping and torturing people, and of course providing such terrible conditions for your own soldiers that they die of electrocution while taking a shower.

As an example.

Well, it looks like our best hope for that these days is Spain. Who'd of thought?

After Monicagate the -gate suffix has lost any seriousness to it. It's only sufficient for parodies now, much like the word 'socialism' and 'Islamofacism' in the US.

I like how... the guy on MSNBC listed over a hundred (word)gates all about Bush. They seemed to be limitless, especially seeing as Bush wasn't content to only fuck up in one way per incident.

Ha ha ha. Yeah, right. Nothing is going to come of this. Bush is going to get off scott free and the proudly ignorant and/or greedy fascists who want to kill the US are going to whitewash his history like they did with Reagan.
