Title: “Bob Barker! It’s Bob Barker!”
Post by: Mike Tennant on July 05, 2007, 08:23:24 AM

From the New York Times (http://\"http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/05/us/politics/05clinton.html?ei=5065&en=06468e0126cab6ff&ex=1184212800&partner=MYWAY&pagewanted=print\"):

Quote

CLEAR LAKE, Iowa, July 4 — As thousands of people cheered along the Fourth of July parade route here, it was the tall man with the familiar white hair who made the crowd go truly gaga.

“Bob Barker! It’s Bob Barker!” two women shrieked upon seeing the former president, Bill Clinton, in the distance, as he and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York marched hand-in-hand.

Well, the two do have one other thing in common besides their hair color, but I think I'd have to give Bob the edge there:  Dian is much preferable to Monica.

You seem to have issues whenever someone makes a comment about Barker that you like. You do realize everyone's entitled to their opinion, right?

You probably meant "comment about Barker you don't like" and I agree everyone is entitled to an opinion.

The real question is, do you know what you mean?

and I agree everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Then what was the point of "no comment on the previous comment"?

I would think posting something here would be better than soiling one's self, but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

"Dirty" in my previous post means to stain with dishonor and I refused to do so.

And yet, you felt compelled to comment on it anyway, which makes you no more honorable than anyone else in the thread.

Some helpful advice: you're not going to get any further with this than you did with your quest to reform ATGS or your crusade to get GSN to fill your videotape collection.  Drop it.

Actually, it was a crusade to end the network's practice of on-screen graphics (very distracting, on-air and on videotape). The "no comment" came in advance of any further comments that share the view of the original responder.

I refuse to go with the far-too-obvious "Hey, speaking of Bob Barker and stains..." line in the midst of all this gravitas.

[/quote]Are you referencing Barker or yourself?  It's a little late for both, sadly or not.

All I've gathered from this thread is that Barker apparently looks like Clinton, Mario500 thinks Barker is a high-and-mighty, there's such a thing as a serious cat, and ferchrissakes isn't a new German dish served with beer.

See I thought that it was Clinton that looked like Barker and if it was a German dish, ferchrissakes would start with a "v".

There has to be some reason that I want to do the Olbermann as Ted Baxter voice when reading the definition of dirty.  Well, a reason other than I watch too much Countdown.

/Hmm, definitions.  They could make a game out of that...oh wait.
