Snort: Axelrod to lecture on “Integrity in Public Service”

Oh, this should be good. Nebraska readers, let me know if you can attend. I’m sure Axelrod will offer many illuminating thoughts on transparency, disclosure, conflicts of interest, and the corrupting influence of Eeeeevil Drug Companies on policy debates.
David Axelrod, senior advisor to President Obama, will speak in Lincoln on Oct. 9 as part of the Integrity in Public Service Lecture Series.
Axelrod, 54, was a key strategist in Obama’s presidential victory and served as the senior advisor for the administration’s transitional team.
Axelrod has a long history of managing media and communications for politicians. In 2006, he was part of a campaign that helped Democrats regain the majority in Congress. That same year, he served as media advisor to Deval Patrick, who became Massachusetts’s first Democratic governor in 16 years and the state’s first African-American governor…
…His appearance in Lincoln will be free to the public, but organizers advise that seating is limited. The lecture will be at the Nebraska Champions Club on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the lecture begins at 6 p.m.

The opening act will be Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi lecturing on airline safety.
And you wouldn’t believe that par-tay that night! Oh no you di-unt!
Go directly to jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200.
You can’t make this sh*t up.
David f’ng Axelrod lecturing on integrity.
What’s next? The NFL selling football jerseys for dogs with Mchael Vick’s name and number on them.
Oops. According to today’s NY Daily News, they are. For $39.95.
Scoundrel and tyrant.
Who knew Deval and Obama were birds of the same feather (bed).Both have answers to crucial problems….
GIMMEE MOH MONEY HONEY!!!!
Champions of what?
He will be arguing against integrity in public service.
I wonder who they will get to give the counter argument?
YHGTBSM
These government officials are becoming like the people Paul talked about, that they have hardened their hearts and believed their own lies so they can keep living the lives they are living with as little guilt as possible. Pray for conviction….
Axelrod lecturing on integrity would be like Clinton lecturing on virginity. Neither knows anything about it.
The very IDEA of the Chicago Machine “fixer” for Mayor Daley lecturing ANYONE on integrity is beyond idiotic.
Next will be Barney Frank lecturing on how to dress neatly and not slobber when you talk.
What’s next, Quentin Tarantino directing a remake of “Love Story”?
Snort, indeed!!
axelgrease lecturing on integrity must be a joke. he wouldn’t know what integrity was if it was tattooed on his butt. axelgrease is better suited to lecture on fraud, unethical behavior and how to be totally corrupt and not care.
YHGTBSM? Oh now I get it. Heh. Sadly ISYN.
Translation:
“How to screw over a Country in 6 months or less”
Well, if Zimbabwe can chair the UN committee for sustainable development, then this makes sense.
Stupidity is as stupidity does. This should scare the hell out of you.
Isn’t this akin to having Phil Spector lecture on peace and integrity in personal relationships?
THIS IS TRULY AS EGREGIOUS AS THE UN HAVING PEOPLE TELL THE WORLD HOW TO DO ANYTHING. THE U.N. IS THE MOST CORRUPT WORTHLESS WASTE OF TAXPAYER MONEY ON THE PLANET, BUT THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS GAINING ON THE INSIDE.
this is reminiscent of idi amin giving cooking advice.
Want to talk about integrity? The new book by former head of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge, says that Bush wanted the terrorism threat level raised for the election — playing politics with terrorism.
Not with someone who has none.
oh? And shut up.

Great reply, Spacey! I thoroughly agree!
lgm, read MM’s book yet?
Hmmm…now why does that last part look awfully likely to happen to those participants who show up not wearing their SEIU badges?
This is a case of “do as I say, not as I do”.

Webster’s might have another new word for their tome, in the years to come.
Axlerodding:
a) A form of propaganda where fantasy is touted as reality, and where things of no substance are promoted as absolute truth, in order to fleece corporations, or government of funds resulting in the enrichment of friends, colleagues, and political allies.
b) Sticking it to “the people,” while calling it benevolent and/or ethical.
c) Lying unabashedly, while claiming “ethical” behavior.
d) Political distraction, used specifically as misdirection, in order to disquise true intent.
It should be raised during an election you dimwit, for your Dillweed leader as well as the Republicans. Good grief you’re an I.D.I.O.T.
Sheesh! It’s not like elections can be opportunities for terrorist attacks or anything. /sarc
AXELROD and INTEGRITY??? Isn’t that an OXYMORON??? Maybe we could get OSAMA BIN LADEN to do a lecture series on PEACE, TOLERANCE and BROTHERLY LOVE…
I know what you mean – leave it to Boosh! One would think he’d been President during a terrorist attack on a major US city or something – go figure!
/Sarc
you know lgm and the rest…when all else fails blame bush!
This from a purported educator. EPIC FAIL.
Integrity in public service, . . . kind of like rank among Ensigns.
lgm said:
Always falling back on the blame Boosh thing – do you even think before you write?
Shamelessness is hard-wired into this administration at the DNA level. There’s no changing them, no reasoning with them.
They simply have to be defeated.
Axelrod could quote Justice Potter Stewart who tried to explain “hard-core” pornography, or what is obscene, by saying, “I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced . . . [b]ut I know it when I see it . . . “[
Truly. This takes shamelessness to a whole new level.
We teach best what we need most to learn.
Why don’t they just take a lesson from the Native Americans. The Indian people, when they got old, would go out into the wilderness and starve (or commit suicide). That was the “honorable” thing to do. There was only so much food, etc. to go around, the old were a drain on their society, thus expendable. This is what Obama wants. No question about it. I wonder what his mommy-in-law thinks about it. On the other hand, she is well taken care of, so, like the entire Obama family, why should she care?
Folks, when lgm raises the Tu Quoque argument on something like this, we should all stop and realize that he is, in his own way, acknowledging Axelrod’s lack of integrity.
His only defense isn’t to come to Axelrod’s defense but to look for what he believes is a worse example as justification.
…but it’s still a tacit agreement.
wingleader said (#35):
I didn’t blame Bush, I said MM and the right wing noise machine have a double standard.
Tom Ridge’s book isn’t out yet. The publisher is dropping hints of this now to drum up more interest in the book (how shocking! /sarc). We’ll see what Ridge actually wrote on September 1.
Now, let’s return to Axelrod. lgm has done his liberal duty in dropping the talking points from TPM.
Okay lgm, help me out here. In the following quote, you referred to both Tom Ridge and George Bush, and something about playing politics with terrorsism. So which one were you not blaming again?
What is the title of his lecture?
“How to deceive people with integrity(and get them to eat from your hand).”
This is analogous to lgm lecturing us on double standards!
And this differs from the Democrats trash talking the economy for years (even when they controlled the pursestrings after 2006) and essentially tanking it (out of political expedience and ignorance of economics) how?
Or Obama back loading the “stimulus” package so most of the money comes on line (wait for it….) during the 2010 elections.
Democrats can’t have double standards when they have no standards at all.
Now, for consistency’s sake, point out when you criticized the Democrats for having a double standard.
More government at the point of a gun coming out today as Democrats in House committee send letters stinking to high heaven of reprisal to health insurers opposing Obamacare. Write/call Congress and ask them by what authority is this allowed?
Democrat integrity at work
John, you’ve been on a roll today. Maybe you should quit your day job and take it on the road.
Actually, you didn’t say anything of any importance.
I’d say that’s about par for John.
Yep, totally agree.
In the same sense as Willie Sutton might lecture on bank security, presumably…
Or Tim Geithner going after people that don’t pay their taxes?
or, Ted Kennedy on the thics committee ? Oh wait…
Yeah, stick your nose up in the air, act like you have supreme authority, talk like you have the utmost integrity……always knowing that when it comes down to it….you lie cheat steal decieve….whatever it takes. That’s integrity to David Axelrod.
Seems to work every time eh David?
Rogue Cheddar said (#47):
Yes, I blame Bush for politicizing the effort against terrorism. But I don’t blame him for the business with Axelrod. If there were substance to the Axelrod thing, TPM would cover it too, as they covered Jefferson, Murtha, and other Democratic sleazes.
LOL.
That’s your standard of measurement? Since TalkingPointsMemo doesn’t cover it, there’s no substance?
Seriously, are you on their payroll?
lgm, you kill me.
I laughed out loud at your self-pwn. Don’t you have ANY original ideas?
You may not be in the inner circle since you get the redacted version of the TPM.
Ha! Well, at least something in the news made me laugh. Wish I could attend. Ought to be the funniest lecture in a long time.
I have to do that this week so I will miss the sleazebags carny act. Camelot Kennedy was to be the Best and Brightest and they were one grubby hack after another, LBJ was worse. After the pimps, Jocelyn Elders and Janet Reno I had thought we had hit bottom with Clinton but Obama/Axelrod/Emmanuel beat them all.
For EIGHT years the Democrats brayed like the jackasses they are about Cheney/Haliburton and never came up with anything but feigned moral outrage. And at least one fool still is:
Let us see the Left take on Axelrod/Emmanuel/Rubein the way Michelle Malkin takes on dirty Republicans. But his (the one fool) is the party that thinks leaving the scene of a fatal accident is just fine as long as the victim was but an unimportant girl. Unimportant as was Juanita Broderick, Kathleen Wiley and Paul Jones. Unimportant as was Vicky Weaver-ah, the Party of Compassion.
The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.
We called you on blaming Bush when the subject was Axelrod, you denied, we pointed to your post, now you say yes and no? Seriously, are you frickin Schizo? Are we talking to Sybil? Three faces of Eve?
Nurse Ratched: “Medication time! Medication time!”
hey you town hall taliban…yep letterman compares those attending town hall meetings and asking questions to the taliban…when is this jerk going to learn….take him off the air…
The only thing consistent about lgm is his double standard.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If there were substance to the Axelrod thing, CNN would cover it
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If there were substance to the Axelrod thing, MSNBC would cover it
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If there were substance to the Axelrod thing, the NYT would cover it
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If there were substance to the Axelrod thing, the Huffington Post would cover it
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I could do this all day with the thousands of other faux news organizations that wouldn’t cover it, but you get the idea.
