Geez..they can't spare a few hours to retract an idiot statement? Don't they have any pride? They want this crap on their record forever? Because believe you me...if noone ELSE brings it up in a few years, you can bet that Mr X will!

The way the guy talks so erractic though, you would think someone from the McCain camp called the guy up and threatened to take out his pets if he didnt apologize .

I can only assume you are guessing correctly and there are probably a number of curses and nasty sentiments I have in my heart for this guy that you probably missed... NUTS TO YOU, Eagleburger! Who in the heck do you think you are anyway? Calling President Obama a "flim-flam artist"? Who the heck did YOU work for, you piece of trash!? And anyway, you are pathetic and YES you did stick your big stinky foot right in your mouth in harming your pathetic friends, including the pathetic and unworthy Palin, but at least you were honest in the first place you piece of trash! Why don't you just go someplace and eat something gross, you bloated piece of garbage? You're a nothing has-been anyway, and the only reason McCain trotted your dusty old name out in the first place is to make a list of dusty old irrelevant people who somehow "mean something" compared to the passionate and RELEVANT endorsement of your far, far, FAR superior successor Colin Powell (yeah...HE'S still relevant and America CARES about what HE has to say, you antiquated has been). AND that's all I have to say to THAT guy I hope I have succeeded in keeping within community standards...needless to say my F-bomb laced tirade WOULD have been the stuff of legend towards this putz.

Originally Posted By hopemax Since several posts were removed, I am going to retype mine, because it is still relevant to the "clean" Mr X post. Don't get so worked up, Mr X. It is obvious someone got to him. Sane and rational people know what his true position is. It reminded me of Harry Potter where Dobby flagellated himself.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney LOL, when I posted that, I had no clue the reponse it would get. I just posted it because we were talking about retractions and was making the point that if someone regrets what they said and REEEEAAALLY wants to do it, they obviously can. I didnt really even care what this guy said of Palin because A. we already KNEW that and B. like Mr. X said, he's kind of irrelevant now, so although its a slap for Mccain when the few guys who ENDORSES you still basically says your VP pick was a mistake, very few people are probably not really shocked by this statement at this point anyway. And yeah, people know his true feelings, he got a phone call in the middle of the night, chewed out over it and now he's trying to make up for it. No biggie!

Originally Posted By WorldDisney ^^LOL, X seriously lost it over this huh?? Wow, poor dude . It just shows how emotional people have gotten over this election I guess.
Originally Posted By Mr X ***It might have been beneficial to see a few of us had taken him to task for losing it.*** Meh. Like I wrote right after, I myself hit the "report to moderator" button and apologized to the staff of LP for writing it, so beyond that I really couldn't care less who was "taking me to task". Anyway, I don't have any problem with what I wrote and I'm not ashamed of it, Eagleberger deserved it AND I would hardly say I "lost it" beyond the fact that I called him exactly what I thought of him. HOWEVER, they are really sensitive to bad language here and I understand that, which is the reason I turned myself in.
