Earlier this week we directed your attention to Michelle Persaud, Democratic staff council for the House Judiciary Committee, who topped the list of the 50 Most Beautiful People on Capitol Hill. It turns out that in addition to running errands for Rep. John “Ohio was rigged” Conyers, Michelle has a little MySpace habit…
Since we were accused by Michelle of not getting the joke, we went back and had a look at the profile and Michelle’s MySpace activities. The profile has long since been made private, but never fear; it’s not like we were born yesterday, we backed up the whole thing. From the now inaccessible pictures section, there’s this classic.
And (via the comments in the original post) there’s this little bit of “humor” that Michelle left as a comment for one of her MySpace friends (cache).

Ugh!!! This whole “work” thing is totally f*cking with my myspace time. Sorry I missed the tennis (although it was really hot yesterday and I probably would’ve punked out anyway…) Did you win???
MySpacing on Conyer’s watch and the taxpayers dime = funny.
We’re totally getting it now…
Now, now. If I didn’t have a heart, I couldn’t raise children or be in a marriage.
And yes, GWB is much smarter than people give him credit for. You don’t earn a degree at Yale and a Masters from Harvard if you’re stupid.
Just because I granted you the myspace joke doesn’t mean I caved on the rest of my opinions. I believe they’re well thought out, even for a Tool.
BTW, to prove I do have a sense of humor and not a raving lunatic, I posted on my toolness on my blog. Enjoy.
“And yes, GWB is much smarter than people give him credit for. “
Tom, how could I doubt you have a sense of humor with a comment like that??
😉
Yeah, I know where you get that opinion. Trust me, I can’t stand it when he says nucular instead of nuclear…but he’s not the only president who’s mispronounced it…Jimmy Carter was another, as well as others.
He is *not* a good public speaker. But, he’s not the only president who wasn’t.
Nucular (as amusing as it is) is the least of my worries. It’s not even the pronunciation of his words as much as the context.
Example? Ask him his definition of a Soverign Nation. His answer? Well, a nation that is soverign, of course!!
You just can’t make this stuff up!!
*sovereign
OK, you’re going to need to provide a link to what you’re referring to. I don’t recall the sovereign nation comment.
Now, you’re making fun, but you didn’t spell sovereign correctly…just sayin’…yeah I know, this comment is coming from a tool.
😉
Didn’t see your last comment…beat me to the punch!
OK, I’ll have to pick this up later or maybe tomorrow. I have to make dinner. (Yes, I can cook. And I like it!)
I posted the link, but it is being held for approval for some reason. Don’t laugh too hard!
🙂
You know, even if he did have a moment where he was put on the spot, and would have changed his response if he could, I still would have voted for him.
Just as you still voted for Gore after his “…I took the initiative in creating the internet.” comment. [no matter how he intended it to sound, where he was probably saying he provided the economic environment for it (B.S.! businesses do this, not the govt.), he still would take it back if he could…because it was absolutely stupid to say that.]
And of course, there was John Kerry’s infamous, “I voted for it before I voted against it.” comment. Another not-so-bright comment.
Look, we don’t vote for these guys because they are perfect public speakers (maybe you do, but I don’t), we vote for them because they match our beliefs better than any other candidate.
Even if Bush didn’t make the comment you claim, or even if he was a better public speaker than Bill Clinton, you still wouldn’t have voted for him, right?
So, this just isn’t a good argument for or against, IMHO.
We must continue to harness the power of the nucule!
Yes, it contains much power, but not as much as the flux capacitor…we need to develop a strategery for both!
I should ask Will Ferrell if that’s how strategery is spelled.
OK, mantis, this finally seems to be the right moment. Where is your blog, as it would be a good read. What is the inspiration for the name mantis?
Hehe, ummm…
I am a sock puppet. 😉
Well, sort of. I may or may not have a blog, but as mantis I am entirely anonymous, and there is no “mantis” blog.
As far as the origin of the name, it is an offline nickname given to me by my girlfriend because of my long arms and legs and the way I sometimes sit at the computer is mantis-like. I liked it because of the original greek and because, well, I’m just a bug.
LOL!!
Too bad, like I said, it would be a good read. You really should consider starting one, I think you’d be good at it.
I can empathize, I have the basketball player body type myself.
Check this out…

(Sorry for getting waaaaay off base on this thread…)
Eh, it was a dumb thread anyway.
I’ve seen a mantis eat a bird, pretty amazing. It’s funny that you posted that as my own bird, a parrot, is currently trying to eat my face. Here’s a mantis eating a snake. Voracious little suckers!
I’ve considered a mantis blog, but I’m hesitant to start an anonymous blog, what with everyone “outing” fellow bloggers and such.
Wow. I wonder if it actually killed it or was it already dead? I guess you have to assume.
Well so far, nobody has had any interest in “outing” me; because I don’t have a well-read blog anyway, LOL!
Why are we so pathetic to dwell on what Michelle posts or does not post on myspace. Myspace is primarily a kibitz and a way to see what is going on in the social seen.
Yes, the social seen… we do have a life other than work! It is really a fantastic experience and I suggest everyone to try it!
TB,
I’ve devoted enough energy to this for one day. I pity that you chose a candidate that has no regard for human life except while it is a fetus. But without even opening up a whole other can of worms, you, in typical neo-con fashion, have not been able to defend your georgie boy. Instead you just revert back to the ever-so-clever “oh yeah, well your guy said this…”. Classy. Really classy.
Anyhow, I’ll see you at the polls in November. Time to go check my myspace.
Have a sense of humor, Tom. 🙂
Jessica:
Just when I thought you could be rational, you proved me wrong.
If you were rational, you wouldn’t say the things you just did. Only Moonbats argue in this fashion. Your BDS is showing.
I’m not even going to dignify your comments with a response, because they don’t deserve it. They’re not based in reality.
I actually pity you for thinking this way.
I’ll keep my sense of humor. Hopefully, you’ll have a sense of sanity one day.
I am quite rational, actually. We just have different opinions on this administration’s policies.
Sam: good luck with that Kibitz on the social “seen.” See and be seen seems to be what it’s all about for you guys.
You guys come over here with your 20-something opinions, and it just ain’t gonna wash with the adults. Most of us have long-running careers in successful businesses/professions. The disadvantage for you is you’re still all so young.
So, you just need to enjoy the advantage of being young, and largely out-of-it when it comes to the real world. Earn your stripes in business, law, whatever, then come back and match wits with us.
It’s like we’re a NBA team, and you’re the high school girl’s squad. Just don’t play until you’re ready, ok?
Have fun on ‘space.com! OMG!!
Mitchell,
I’m quite established in the business world, thank you very much.
And the myspace comment I made was a joke. Are you another neo-con without a sense of humor? I bet you are.
Jess, tell us, what business, how long, and how successful?
What are your yearly revenues, return on investment, number of employees?
Do your “employees” take personal time on myspace.com while working as you and your friends do?
I haven’t lost my sense of humor, as I know this must be your “joke.”
Ha, ha, hardy, har.
Aww, Mitchell. Do you want to turn this into a pissing contest?
I didn’t realize my revenue and profit margin determined my right to a political point of view. How very right-winged of you.
“Mitchell,
I’m quite established in the business world, thank you very much.”
Jess, these are your words. Too bad they are without substance. The great theme of your “myspace” lives.
Go away and let the adults have the pool back.
Shouldn’t you be at a “Rave Party” or prepping your remarks for ‘space.com?
Mitchell:
Mich…er…Jessica isn’t worth the time. No surprise there, huh?
It’s all back to Republicans are idiots, terrorists, etc., etc., etc. Same old crap, different day.
True, Tom. True.
We are so horrible. We want to starve small chirren everywhere.
Especially the ‘lil chirren on myspace.com!
OMG!!
I know, back to the salt mines. But it’s fun to toy with them. Drives em crazy.
Best wishes.
Rave party? Mitch, very original. You know me very well, don’t you.
And you’re not driving me crazy at all. You’re providing some true comic relief. Keep it coming, rightie.
🙂
Been drinking at work again JIMBO? Your words get more jumbled as the day goes on. -Mags
p.s. Is “dumber” a word?
Tom, did you hear something? Sounded like a small child talking. . .
Must be the kiddie pool.
Oh, well.
Gina Pell has Big Forehead! Wowsa!
JESSICA L. STOUT
Merchant Director
Hailing from the North Bay by way of San Diego, Jessica is Splendora’s resident So. Cal sweetie. While going to school in Santa Barbara and logging time beaching and pampering in the sunny environs, Jessica managed to do research and development for a spa oriented magazine making her a natural fit for Splendora. Miss Jessica now rallies on the Splendora Sales team and is fantastic at creating long-lasting relationships with local, independent advertisers. Jessica graduated from UCSB in 2001 with a degree in Business Economics and a minor in Spanish.
Beachin’ and pamperin’ like So Cool!
Like, Oh Ma Gaw! OMG!
My 12 year old twin Nicaraguan neices just read your bio, and they say: “Hola, Chica. Tu eres un loca, muy loca!”
Aiy, Mama!
Michelle y Samantha son desde Nicaragua, tambien?
Muy cafe, Las Chicas.
Mitchell:
LOL!
Nah, I didn’t hear anything (I’m an old man now…I went to bed!). Fast food man, fast food. That’s why I misread the post and looked like a tool at first. I could care less about the myspace saga, but the BDS and conspiracy theories sucked me right in.
Now it’s a lot like watching Jerry Springer. You know it’s trash, but once in a great while you just have to tune in to see the show.
Me, too. I’m Springerized.
I was sitting on the couch last night with my 12 year old neices, watching “The Longest Yard.” I figured it was ok since I was adult supervision. I hope the parents don’t find out.
Anyway, the wife is in the kitchen, and the girls see that I am posting something involving a “Jessica” and immediate cries of “Tia, Tia!” which is Spanish for “Aunt, Aunt!” go out as they are sure I am scamming on The Tia with this hussey, Jessica.
I immediately jump out of the browser and open the other one I have open to Yahoo Finance, creating plausible deniability.
Although, the wife knows me well enough to disregard my protestations and immediately accept the word of said neices. Busted.
So I show her the pic of the cowgirl costume, and she just opens up laughing her head off.
Good to be married to the “right” woman!
Cheers.
I must admit that Michelle can be a self-centered, egotistical, and frigid person. Posting this “blog” to discredit her from holding the number one spot is an act of pure jealousy and ignorance. Futhermore, it resonates the Aylward’s immaturity. If those words are too big for you, Kevin, let me put it in a simpler way: You are a brainless, sexually difficient, underdeveloped, lifeless, and juvenile little computer dork who has nothing better than to sit infront of his computer, type in his pointless blog, be jealous of people better looking and smarter than him, and spend his time watching “adult material” on the internet.
Hmm…Nah…
She was just laughing because she realized her husband is a douchebag and subscibes to the idea that “The Longest yard” requires adult supervision.
=)
Allow me to chime in as well….
Mitchell, you are in-fact a douchebag – and the Longest Yard doesn’t require adult supervision.
Michelle Persaud took time from her life to respond to your thread. You attacked her knowing nothing more about her than a silly MySpace page. You probably won’t see her post anymore about it because it’s too petty. You’re too petty. She is a person of class, grace, strong character and dignity. She is beautiful and brilliant, but that doesn’t start to scratch the surface of the wonderful person she is. Though, it’s okay if you don’t know anymore about her because I have a sense that what you know is enough to make a person like you scared and uncomfortable. See, Michelle is out of your league and anyone like her is just the same to you – a threat.
I noticed Jessica put you in your place, though that wasn’t fair to you because you really don’t stand a chance against someone like her. They are (Michelle and Jessica) smarter than you Mitchy… You’re not equipped for those in their league. It’s okay because as you mentioned before you are older. Likely behind the times and not subject to be objective anymore. You said it yourself … you’re at home censoring what your family is viewing on television – hiding pictures from your wife until you get caught.
People like Michelle (her sisters) and Jessica are the kind of professionals that make a difference while sit at your computer hacking away and hiding – longing to be one of them… vergüenza en ti.
Yes, I am petrified of the myspace.com crowd. That’s something I really aspire too; I just couldn’t make it that “high” I guess.
Jay, who?
Back to the kiddie pool; adult time now!
Heh.
