Heh: Conservative Offers to Rent Out Apartment for Obama Inaugural

I don't think he's serious.


In a search of a room in DC so that you can spend Jan. 20 standing in the bitter winter cold with thousands of like-minded souls watching the historic transfer of power from one Harvard grad to another? Look no further.

Me: Heartless, greedy right-wing oppressive type looking to make a buck.

You: Obama's election was Christmas/your first kiss/May Day all wrapped into one. You dutifully wore his button -- which you have yet to remove -- contributed money to his campaign from your non-profit job and chanted "yes we can" as if it were the 11th commandment. A strange void now exists in your life and -- like an old hippie looking to recapture the spirit of Woodstock -- you are undertaking a pilgrammage to Washington for one last gulp of the Kool-Aid.

Along with my bedroom you will have access to the house's many amenities including cable television (not that you watch much TV) for viewing Keith Olberman's latest unhinged rants and CNN in high-def. Wireless internet means that the Huffington Post and DailyKos are only a click away on your MacBook. American flags and other patriotic paraphanelia in the room can be removed upon request.

The house is located in the diverse neighborhood of Adams Morgan with people of many different skin pigmentations that will allow you to revel in your tolerance. Rest assured, however, that this diversity does not extend to ideology and that you are sure to march lock-step with the prevailing sentiment ensuring that your most strongly held beliefs remain unchallenged.

Easily accessible subway and bus stops will help ensure a minimal carbon footprint while fair trade coffee is never more than a few steps away at any number of independently-owned establishments. Nearby non-chain bookstores similarly mean that tomes such as Mao's Little Red Book, Chomsky's latest masterpiece or additional copies of The Audacity of Hope can be easily purchased either for yourself or as early holiday shopping.

Rather than state a price I am requesting that you bid on this fabulous opportunity to ensure profit maximization on my part so that I can better weather the Bush Recession.

I hear he bought a special Obama Victory futon for the occasion.

Thanks to Blackfive.

Clever, but still too Alannis for me. Tells them we're stung.

Which we are, but there's no need to let them have the pleasure of seeing it in print.

I wonder how many people are going to be disappointed to find those two awful Obama books sitting like gift-wrapped turds under the Holiday tree next month.

Also, will they print up any special edition with his words in red.

He may not be serious but if he puts it out there doesn’t he have to come through if someone actually takes him up on it?

 

And BTW, Bush “graduated” from Yale and he got his MBA from Harvard, so technically he did not “graduate” from Harvard.

10 um, if he got his MBA, then he also "graduated"

13 Since when do Washingtonians refer to the metro as "subway"?

And how come he forgot to mention Kramerbooks? It's not too far away in Dupont Circle and you can drink like a fish while perusing the books.

14 I thought about renting out my apartment for the inauguration but I'm sure the smelly hippey lib renters would trash the place just to spite me. I don't need no stinking liberals ripping up my apartment.

Are you serious? A person can be graduated from more than one university. Perhaps you weren't aware. In fact, a person must graduate in order to receive an MBA (Master of Business Administration). They don't just hand them out as party favors, at least not from Harvard.

So, yeah, President Bush graduated Harvard.

17 That listing really sounds like something from Stuff White People Like.

And BTW, Bush “graduated” from Yale and he got his MBA from Harvard, so technically he did not “graduate” from Harvard.

Uh...actually, the other way around. You're an undergraduate when you attain a
Bachelor's degree, you're a graduate when you get a Master's degree.

18 Hey, go for it. Friends rented out their Park City home for the Olympics and made enough to pay their mortgage for a year.

He probably referred to the Metro as the "subway" so the ignoramuses that don't live around D.C. know what he's talking about.

Joke? I think not.

The wife and I talked about paying for a January vacation by renting out our house, just across the river from Rome West. There would need to be a security deposit, of course.

A security deposit.

Remember that crap group-house you lived in during college? Remember giving a check for $200 to some flinty-eyed slumlord?

That kind of security deposit.

In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each.
