HamNation: Don't Say Obama!!!
Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 11:57 AM

It's the hardest game show on the Internets!

Yikes, y'all like that face right? Nothing like an unflattering screenshot for Christmas! Thank you to my guests Wolf Blitzer, Average New Hampshire Joe, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews.

And, thanks to Justin Germany for the hard work.

Love that face
We love that face. Don't you ever think of getting another one. I know I, for one, wouldn't have it.

HEY BUTT BURP...aka Whatev......
UGA is not a public school. It is a tax-payer subsidized four year long cocktail party. My real education was obtained at a rigorous PRIVATE all-girls school in the Carolinas. I was so jammed full of smarty-pants goodness that I needed four years to catch up on the fun I clearly missed in high scrool.

And I am a proud PHI MU (AA) alum as well. Sororities protect their own...

"Merry Christmas Y'all"---you are so not Southern, Whatev. You are, in fact, a SNOT.

Don't "Misunderestimate" Obama...
...and those big ears will end up working in his favor, too. (Hey MKH: loved that last line of your video about the "real savior"- the reason for the season-thanks)
I've a little opinion piece on my blog about the Entertainment Value of Obama and the Dem's as a reason they'll draw votes. Check it out if y'all have time. DD

Ham is Cool..
I thought the concept was pretty funny.

Oh, MKH, as a dawg fan you've probably already seen this, but if not:

Whatev
Lay off the egg nog buddy. The low blows are in very poor taste. Aside from being a Georgia fan, MKH is smokin' hot. You might say she's a triple threat (brains, beauty, and a conservative to boot!). I thought the main theme of media obsession with an empty shell candidate was clearly illustrated. Great work per usual. Rock on HamNation and go CATs!

The Best
"Ham Nation" is the best. Great work, MKH.

She's fit---and a "heavy" thinker.

It sounds like moonbat commenter "Whatev" simply lacks personal experience in determining which females are "fat," and which ones are "fit."
Then again, as a raging lefty, he likely also has difficulty telling the difference between a terrorist, vs. someone who is fighting against a terrorist.

It's sophomoric to suggest that M-Kat is in need of losing weight, when it's obvious she's as fit as a fiddle---and especially when you consider the fact that video adds an additional 10 lbs. to one's appearance.

The only example in which Mary Katharine and the word "heavy" belong in the same sentence is if someone is characterizing her thinking, i.e., "Mary Katharine is a heavy thinker."

Very Funny
Some of the comments here seem to be taking this a little too seriously.. Olbermann kills me, he really riles up the natives with his rants.

pmf...
...if your friend has a booger on his cheek, and you don't tell him but in fact tell him he looks great, are you...

a) contributing to his self-esteem

or

b) setting him up to look like an idiot?


i swear i'm not a lefty doing a stealth attack. i'm trying to help. you're not helping.

people like you are the ones commenting under the "america show" vids on youtube saying stupid crap like, "ha ha ha. that was the funniest thing evar. you are much more funnier than jon stewart. if anyone ever tells you you are not funny, it is because of politics, so you must never accept feedback or learn from it or grow from it. and you are hot i would totally put my sex parts in you you are so hot and funny funnier then rosey o'donnell or bill maher."

that is not helpfull. you heap unqualified encouragement on your nine y/o during their first season of little league. when you do it with adults, it's insulting.
PardonMyFrench writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 6:31 PM
Funny
It was the most enjoyable video - online or offline that I saw today. Made me laugh. Thanks. Besides the script the video editing is great too.

jummy writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 6:18 PM
you need to fire the video editor
i noticed that he does some local campaign ads, but he sucks at this. you wrote a funny enough script, but the production is so tuneless it could kill a pink panther script.

editor guy, sorry if that sounds harsh, but it wouldn't be any kinder if i lied and said it was great.

muirgeo, please grab a history book....
and preferably one written before you were born. In it you will find that the world is a controversial place, and has been for thousands of years before you drew a ragged breath. Get some perspective and a little (not public) education and come back when you get your @$$ off your shoulders and your head from between them.

We love you HAMster!!

GOOOOOoooo DAWGS! And you could eat the @$$ end of a Krisy Kreme truck and still look fabulous. Eternal beauty---- a curse WE ATHENIAN WOMEN will have to bear....

Love, SeeJaneMom (UGA Class of '91)

Although -
I concede that I don't understand this edition of HamNation. I must have missed a news cycle. :p
Simon writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 4:30 PM
It fails on several levels...
...Some of which don't even make any sense! Muirgeo wrote upthread that s/he has "found nothing but shallow ideology and divisiveness like this here that fails on all levels. It fails ... [inter alia] constitutionally ... You have nothing!" I seem to be having difficulty locating the "Mary Katharine Ham clause" in my recollection of the Constitution.

Ms. Ham...
..you can find "muirgeo['s]" source of despair here:

Mary Katharine writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 2:55 PM
muirgeo...
I am continually amazed that folks like you can read a once-a-week, all-in-good fun, silly video blog as A)a VICIOUS attack and B) evidence that I NEVER deal in anything more substantial, even though you're here commenting all the time, and I know you read the rest of the blog.

I have nothing in particular against Obama (aside from policy differences). In fact, I really liked the Coburm-Obama bill and commended him for being involved, but don't bother looking that up, right? Might mess with the theory!

Anyway, this vlog was in no way an attack on Obama, and the fact that you saw it that way may be an act of projection on your part. It was simply a statement about how no one can seem to go a couple minutes these days without mentioning the new savior's name. And, I didn't mention anyone's ears. Are you even watching the videos before you comment? Try to keep up, dude.
muirgeo writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 2:26 PM
tdau,
I'm kinda new here. You can find Barack Obama's postions here;

http://obama.senate.gov/

Or we can discuss them as brought up by Ms. Ham.
Has she ever done that? Or does she just talk about his name and his ears or whatever?
tdau1997 writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 1:50 PM
To which positions are you referring ?
"no challenge on his positions when tested in the right wing blogosphere."

His voting record is as liberal as the HoC. He doesn't quite have the history as Mr. Kennedy (also not as annoying). That's because he's a one-termer. Let's see what he can do before he's annointing him the next great one.

Maybe his dumbo size ears won't hear me. putting his pic next to you in the blog is showing ugly next to your beauty! Have a Merry Christmas MK!!
muirgeo writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 1:09 PM
More nothing
What's sad about this is that it's a lie. I could point you to plenty of CONSERVATIVE bloggers who are sick of the fact that there IS/ARE under-the-table attacks made on people like Barack Hussein Obama as a standard MO for the conservatives. Your Vlog seems to suggest no one HAS attempted to make insinuations based on his name alone. That's false.

http://rightwingnuthouse.com/archives/2006/12/20/obama-fails-religious-test-schlussel/

Now going yet one step away from actually discussing issues Ms. Ham feels it necessary to attack the people who are attacking the attackers in an endless childish elementary school level of debate.

It's all real cute and stuff Ms. Ham and
I know you must be enjoying all the attention but our country needs real debate. Course its your blog and you can do what you want but when it comes to the issues this previous Reagan voter finds repeatedly no challenge on his positions when tested in the right wing blogosphere. I've found nothing but shallow ideology and divisiveness like this here that fails on all levels.

It fails historically, contemporaneously, constitutionally, factual, logically, morally and philosophically. You have nothing!

Otter writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 1:05 PM
Mary, all I can say about whatev is
BA(rack HUSSEIN Obama)N.

He must be wearing fish-eye lenses. You look great as always.
Mary Katharine writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 12:34 PM
Ummm
Criticism of the video-blog is fine. It's fat jokes that are out of line. I thought that was pretty obvious. Did you really not catch it? I look forward to your next video-blog production.
tdau1997 writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 12:20 PM
All folks like "whatev" is = *are*
I need to review my comments better.
Mary Katharine writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 12:19 PM
Oooh, whatev
Fat jokes? You're so hard. Wanna have a Rosie and Trump Rumble? Wanna take this outside? Chill out, and try not to be so mean-spirited throughout the Christmas season. Santa doesn't like it.
tdau1997 writes: Thursday, December, 21, 2006 12:18 PM
Enjoyed the heck out of this...
Just remember:

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man (or woman) who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt quotes

All folks like "whatev" is relegated to is hurling silly insults from the peanut gallery. Irrelevance defined.

Merry Christmas, Mary Katharine. Thanks for the laughs.
