James Carville might be a goblin. You can't really be in politics and not have someone make fun of your appearance at some point. And I'd say that this forum has been equal opportunity (in regards to gender) in making fun of candidates appearance, because seriously gently caress Scott Walker and his droopy droopy face.

Also in regards to Coulter calling her Skeletor, inferring that she is an incompetent, cartoonish villain (which she is) is much better than when people used to infer she had man-hands which I think was much more mean and actually really lovely.

I think Ann Coulter's ghastly lich-like visage is wholly unrelated to her gender, and is merely an appropriate counterpoint to her ghastly lich-like rhetoric.

Nessus posted:This is way less absurd if he had like twenty dudes in the box with him. Like that's still a really luxurious spread but at least it's a banquet situation then, not a "Chris Christie eats two hundred hot dogs by himself" situation. Okay, let's say Christie has 20 guests. That's still $200+ each in food per person, and most people aren't eating that much. Chris Christie is still eating way more food than what people are assuming, is what I'm trying to say, amazingly enough.

In a suite you don't order food ala carte you set it up beforehand so I can definitely see Christie ordering the executive deal and just tossing food that people didn't end up eating. Also alcohol can be really expensive if he got nice stuff which I would assume he did. I do appreciate the idea that he's buying a couple grand worth of stadium nachos and soda then rolling around in it but that bill is totally believable for someone that basically has a blank check and wants to live it up at a Football game. Mr Ice Cream Glove posted:Oh what I meant was she chose to use that gun on the cover even though it was same kind used in the horrific sandy hook massacre Oh yeah I know. Part of my brain says it's totally unbelievable that someone is so monstrous they would use the same gun in a book about how terrible gun control is that was used to murder children less than a year before intentionally and it must have just been a coincidence, but the other part says it's really not that far fetched for how scummy the right wing is openly being.

I work in the events industry and that type of number seems about right for a stadium/convention center catering racket. If you're pinching pennies and trying to cut down on your expenses (like a lot of my clients do) you'd would still want to budget $50-$60 per person. Minimum. These companies are very good at making a relatively reasonable amount of food cost an exorbitant price so it's not so much the quantity, it's how much they charge. I'm 99% sure Christie is not pinching pennies and trying to save money. He's getting a nice bar, good food, desserts, the whole 9 yards. Just looking at menus for the catering contractor for MetLife Stadium seems to confirm that. Example: If he had a Premium Open Bar in his suite (and I think it's safe to assume he would) that would be $42.50 for three hours, per person, not including state sales tax or service fees that the caterer will throw on. It's probably closer to $50 per person for booze alone after factoring that in. I'd imagine he'd hire a bartender too, so that's another $150 an hour. So for 20 people there's $1,500 gone just on alcohol.

The AR15 is probably the most popular gun in America and is the second most iconic gun after the Kalashnikov. I'm willing to wager a lot of money it wasn't chosen for the photoshoot as a subtle gently caress you to parents of dead children, especially when they're willing to say that openly and to their faces already.

What then? Actually the funny thing is most states have laws that prevent you from having perishable food out for that long, wouldn't want people to get sick and what not. I believe the limit is generally around 2-2.5 hours. Basically, if he was there 6 hours he'd probably have to order two separate buffets in order to pick at food the whole time.

Charges like $70 for a dozen bagels at a hotel is not uncommon in tier 1 cities like New York, Chicago, LA, etc. Convention centers and stadiums usually won't have prices that extreme, but whoever bought the rights to be their catering provider have exclusive rights in those venues. If you don't want to use them, tough poo poo.

Well he answered the wrong question. He thought he was answering "would you have done the same thing as W with the same info" and not the actual question. His answer even implies he misunderstood it that way with the comment about how Hillary would've done the same with the intelligence at the time. I'm glad he's getting flak from the right about a bad answer but it's not disastrous and I see it as mostly a non-event in the long run considering it's mostly a mistake.
