Great GOP Quotes
"I guarantee, someday the revolution
of 1994 will continue."
-- Sean (Substitute
Nazi) Hannity, admitting the revolution is dead.
When Pigboy or Hannity are having a bad day,
that means I've having a good day.
Hannity sounds defeated, like this election is over.
He's right.

Subject: Where is the outrage and Bill Bennett when you need him?
Hi BartCop!
I was "Jonesin' it" with you gone.
Please don't do it again.
Yes, ma'am.
Anyhow, I was so angry over the lack of
outrage concerning Dubya's
vulgar remark before the open mike at that
stump speech.
He and his cadre of flaks have the temerity
to say, "it was a private commment?"
Oh really!
Is there anything in the universe more private than oral sex?
The GOP and Bill Bennett made oral sex dinner-table discussion
for two years.
Bill Bennett was on the Sunday talk shows
and he was not questioned about this
incident ONCE nor did he mention it once.
Excuse me, Mr. Moral Police,
but you seemed to be so concerned about
the effects of what Clinton did,
especially "the children....what are we
going to tell the children?"
You silly.
The children are only harmed if there's a "D," behind the man's
name.
Now if Bill Clinton or Al Gore said this,
the Right Wing Press would have been
ALL OVER that story. I can
hear the discourse: "what kind of effect is this
having on our children; or HE is the reason
our kids are speaking vulgarities"!
"What does this say about his true character?"
And what really pissed me off was
that the focus was on "speaking openly
about hatred for a reporter in the press."
This was not the issue, the issue was that
he said ASSHOLE!
I cannot stand the double-standard.
Faithful BartCop reader,

We have the luxury of sweet revenge.
We get to watch Smirk say, "I didn't want to win, anyway."
They say a party has to endure three consecutive losses to change.
So, what will the Cro-Mags do next?
They can't help themselves.

Subject: When Rush Retires
Just been thinking about Rush's possible
retirement at the end of the year,
which you've suggested might happen and
why this might be a bad thing -
beyond the fact that you won;t get the
chance to go mano a mano
with him if he goes this year.
The facts are this: since Rush has risen
to national prominence (around
89/90, wasn't it?) the Republicans have
been in one of their biggest
slumps for decades. They've not had
a sniff of the White House since
Bush Daddy tanked the election in 92, and
even though they've managed to
get a majority in Congress, they've not
been able to do anything with
it, continually finding themselves
out of step with the public as they
lurch further to the Reich.
2000 looks like being the worst year of
all for them - at least $100m
down the tube on the Shrub, coupled with
losing the House and maybe the
Senate as well. President Gore, VP
Lieberman, Speaker Gephardt and
Senator Clinton? Ditto-monkey nightmares
aren't usually as scary as
this dose of reality.
So, what does Rush have to do with this?
Basically, to the public at
large he is the face of the GOP.
People connect Rush and the
ditto-spanks to the GOP, thinking that
whatever Rush says is the message
of the GOP. Thus, the GOP means intolerance,
bigotry and ignorance.
So, they vote Democrat, not wanting to
let the hate-mongers run their lives.
'Moderate' Republicans like Ridge, Whitman
etc, who might present some
sort of challenge to the Democrats are
sidelined within the party thanks
to the dominance of the monkeys, who can
tune in every day to get the
latest line on who to hate from their Fuhrer
of the airwaves.
However, if Rush goes off the air, this
could end. Without a force to organise them
(and with Doc Meng losing ratings and sponsors
every day, she might be off the air
before too long) the ditto-monkeys won't
control the GOP and vaguely electable
candidates might emerge, who won't be as
tainted by hatred and ignorance
without Rush as the public face of the
GOP.
So, we need to keep Rush on the air to keep Democrats in the White House.
(Of course, there is the possibility that
after this year the GOP will descend
into a pit of internal warfare as everyone
tries to blame everyone else for why
Dubya lost, then it doesn't really matter
if Rush is on air or not)

Basic Instinct--voting with one's guts
My 15 year-old daughter, Niaz is having a mock
presidential election at
her school. She came to me for advice about her choices. I told
her she
shouldn't base her vote on the issues. Believe it or not
looks and feelings
have guided me when voting all these years and I'm not ashamed
to admit it.
It all started in 1972 when Miss Podgorskie's
4th grade class was voting
on Nixon or McGovern . As the question was posed who would vote
for President
Nixon so many hands shot up, it looked like a Pentecostal revival.
And for
McGovern: one bony hairy little arm went up. Who was the die
hard Democrat
with spider monkey appendages? It was me. But I was beyond party
affiliations, I went with what really counted--looks and feelings.
Let my sheep-like classmates follow the whims
of their parents over the
cliff of mass opinion, I was voting with my heart and deep down
I didn't like
the way Nixon looked. Smiling, he looked like Howdy Dowdy with
dark hair.
When he was serious, he looked like a really mean principal.
I always
expected to see a paddle when his hands were behind his back.
McGovern, on the other hand gave me a warm
grandpa-like feeling. He had
a nice voice, the kind you wouldn't mind hearing read "Peter
Pan" or something.
And if you did something wrong he'd give you a good talk about
why it was wrong
and not to ever do it again--then he'd take you out for ice cream
to make you feel better.
In 1972, I believed the country needed a lot of ice cream.
In 1976, I was 14, and like the rest of the country
I was sick of politics after having
so many of my favorite TV shows preempted by Watergate.
I remember thinking,
"Why didn't they just let the water out of the gate and get it
over with?"
I liked Jimmy Carter's smile but kinda felt sorry for Ford.
I am a underdog supporter at heart.
My first real election in 1980 I voted for
the underdog again. Carter
looked so sad and tired it was a mercy vote but later I felt
vindicated by
Irangate and the fact Walter Cronkite said he was the best president.
1984 wasn't that Mondale and Ferraro? I was
pregnant at the time and all
my radical feminist hormones were suspended so I really didn't
care--had Ms.
Vice Pres Candidate advocated a national chocolate and potato
chip holiday or
maybe gave out free Taco Bell coupons, I would have backed
her all the way.
The fact was I didn't vote that year--I think I was in the bathroom.
Believe it or not, I was with child again
in 1988. My son Danny was 5
months old but I was still with him--24 hours a day. ELECTIONS?
I DIDN'T HAVE
TIME FOR ANY STINKING ELECTIONS! It was wash this, powder that,
feed, burp,
and please oh please go to sleep so mommy can take a nap...If
there had been
a candidate who would look for Danny's pacifier , answer
Niaz's questions
and maybe vacuum the carpet, I would have voted for him, her,
or it--(future
presidential candidates take note: this is the key to the Mommy
Vote and
believe you me there are a lot more of us out there than feminists)
.
In 1988, even though I liked the sound of Dukaksis' voice, he
didn't seem to be
presidential to me. I saw him being an M.C. at a resort talent
show in the Catskills.
The Bushes were ok--I liked the fact that they weren't totally
white bread having a
Hispanic in their family and all. I also loved Barbara's
take-me-as-I-am attitude.
Having a gut like a deflated balloon and stretch marks down to
my knees, I really
resented Nancy's size 4 dresses--that year I voted for Barbara.
By 1992 I had returned from Mommyland and was in
school so I was in a
better position to make fairer judgments about who should run
the country. I
had just learned that it really doesn't matter who the peons
vote for because
of the its only the Electoral College votes that count.
(I'm sure I learned
this in high school but I was sick that day) . If that wasn't
depressing
enough, then I learned that is really it's the special interests
and the
Military Industrial Complex that control the country when election
time
came--I again voted my heart.
Bush: After 12 years in positions of power--more if your
count his CIA
stint, I was looking for a fresh young face. Dan Quayle was cute
for about a
minute but he couldn't handle the media so he got handled. I
guess my flaming
feminism was dying out because I admired a man who could hold
his own.
Clinton didn't impress me at first but then a news crew caught
him griping
out a secret service guy-I thought he had moxy. Okay to be honest,
that year
I voted for Clinton because I didn't have health insurance. It
was that
simple---Okay, and because I had a crush on Al Gore. when it
came to it. I
mean, by then my marriage was on the skids and Gore looked pretty
good to me.
My husband voted for Ross Perot because
he had interesting things to
say but to me his voice was too similar to my three year
old son Danny's--
high pitched enough to make dogs cry.
In 1996, I voted for Clinton vindictively.
If my future ex said, it was
black then I said it was white whether I was right or not. Not
the wisest
course of action but it sure felt good. Actually I liked Clinton
by then. I
liked that he spent so much time focusing on language. Being
a writer that
impressed me. Little did I know he would take language to his
defense with
the Monica thing-what does humiliation really mean?
This year I am a C-span watcher and if you
think Bush and Gore are
saying anything new, take a look at the old presidential debates
they show
nightly. If you do you might be inclined to write in a candidate
of your own.
If you're a republican type
person write in a cat for president. A
little tuna and milk and the country's all yours because pres.
kitty just
wants to be left alone. Watch out though with such a furry lazy
bones as head
of the military we may be rid of dogs but we also may end up
a part of the
United States of Mexico.
If you have a co-dependent liberal leanings,
a dog for president may
just be what you're looking for. A dog wants to have his paw
in every pie and
his nose in everybody's business. If you can't stand fat cats,
he'll go to
congress and chase them under their desks. He'll route out injustice
and
protect you from the invaders. You'll have to share what's
on our plates but
if he gets out of hand a swift beating by an old newspaper like
The
Washington Post, or The New York Times usually keeps presidents
in line.
Truth be told, I'm going to vote for Gore.
Why? Because he's still cute,
he likes trees and maybe just maybe I can catch his eye.
Hey I'm recently
divorced --a girl can dream can't she? I mean, how long can a
man be married
to someone named Tipper anyway? Okay, I'll probably never
end up the first
lady. But I tell you one thing, if I ever end up being
the first mistress,
I'll make sure I at least get a Cabinet post out of the deal,
that's for sure.

Subject: RE: Diana and Teresa
Dear Bartcop:
Reading your link to that September 1997
BC issue reminded me of the big
ironies of the hullaballoo surrounding
Diana's death.
The persons who were using Mother Teresa
(who died a little over a week later,
if I remember rightly) as a club with which
to posthumously beat Diana never,
ever mention that the two ladies knew and
liked each other. Mother Teresa
sympathized with the hell Diana had gone
through, to the point where she said
that (and remember, this is coming from
a strict Catholic!) Diana should not
be condemned for her divorce because she
deserved better.
I always felt sorry for Diana. She was a
18-year-old who honestly thought she
was entering into a love relationship,
not becoming a high-class brood mare.
And I feel sorry for Charles, because if
he'd been allowed to marry Camilla
Parker-Bowles back in the early 1970's
like he'd wanted, none of this would
have ever happened. Granted, the British
Royal Family would be even uglier,
but then Diana wouldn't be dead because
she was riding with a bunch of rich
drunks trying to avoid the press.
Looks like you enjoyed your trip. It was
awfully sneaky of Smirk to wait
until you were away from a modem before
he self-destructed. :-)
ha ha
Yes, I remember that issue, too.
Y'know, to a degree, I can understand the
unfair attacks on Clinton/Gore.
I've done my best to attack the braindead
murdering idiot from Tejas,
but for the life of me, I can't figure
out why it was so goddamn important
for all the conservatives to trash the
recently-killed princess.
Did she kick their ass in two elections?
No.
Did she humiliate them and their failed
policies?
No.
Did she reverse the damage done by their
leader, Ronaldus Magpie?
No.
They KNEW it would make them look bad viciously
attacking a dead princess but,
just like with impeachment, they went ahead
with it like they couldn't control themselves.
Sometimes I think it's hard to outwit an
enemy who is so hell-bent on self-destruction
because we have no way to anticipate their
next moves. They don't know what
they're doing, and they can't stop themselves
when they finally find out.
Thanks for the note, and CC me the next time you write something.
Three Hours of Sleep
Yep, I was up late last night, finishing Part II of the
Trip
Report.
One of the last things I wrote was that Jimmy Page stuff.
Of course, I was kidding about having done LSD back in
college - you know,
dramatic license and all that stuff. But it had a weird side-effect
on me.
I had to be up again at 6, so in those 3 hours I semi-slept while
I tossed and
turned and had the strangest dream.
I dreamed I was at a party at Jimmy Page's house.
Isn't it strange when you dream things that make no sense?
There I was, in his home, probably in America, (he has several)
and there were
lots of Englishmen hanging around, mostly musicians. I don't
remember seeing
any real big stars besides Page, but they were all in "the business"
and were
very ho-hum about being in the presence of The Lord.
I remember some old Faces there, Beck and Stewart, but they're not stars.
Funny, we were drinking whiskey, not fine tequila, altho I know
Page is a tequila
drinker from waaaaay back. matter of fact, there are eyewitness
reports that he
was, at least in February of 1995, a member of the uneducated
ignoratti when it
comes to fine tequila. There's a story there.
In early 1995, he and Robert started a tour of America in Pensacola.
I was a big dog at the time over on alt.music.led-zeppelin
or whatever it was
and we had a whole network of tapers set up to get each show.
There first three stops were Pensacola, Jacksonville and Miami,
I think, and with
the Internet, it was no trouble to co-ordinate DAT tapers to
record each show and
distribute copies, which were magnificent. OKC was the tenth
show of the tour and
by the time we saw them, we'd had copies of the first three shows
for two weeks.
(I hope my good friend Fizz Two, the record exec doesn't read
this. ha ha)
We also knew their schedule, so the gang staked out their hotel
in Pensacola.
For many of them, it was the opportunity of a lifetime - after
28 years of enjoying
their great music, they finally had a chance to meet them - and
meet them they did.
I have the official stories somewhere, like everything.
They took pictures with the band and they all were drinking in
the hotel bar.
Jimmy had his bodyguards with him, of course. He entered the
hotel bar and
got a bottle of tequila, a couple of glasses and a beer pitcher
of limes.
(Since they didn't specify tequila, I fear it was Cuervo.
But in Page's defense,
I'm not sure great tequilas were everywhere five years
ago. Koresh, there's
plenty of bars that don't have fine tequila today
- even after all my best efforts.)
So, the gang took pictures and talked to Jimmy and the drummer
and others.
Robert wasn't there, holed up (pun intended) with some babe,
no doubt.
After a while, Jimmy hinted it was time for the circus to end,
so the gang
politely moved on with their pictures and their memories to cherish.
Rumor has it - no, it was confirmed, the next morning,
Page was seen escorting
twin redheads to the car of a waiting forty-ish woman who they
thought might
have been their mother. I'm not sure what mother would allow
her nubile, twin,
red-headed daughters to spend the night with a protege
of Alister Crowley,
so I assume the girls were pros (twin red-headed hookers?) and
the older woman
was the madam, not their mother.
Sidebar:
You young kids out there reading this.
Sex outside of marriage is WRONG!
ha ha
Sorry, this all started with the goofy dream and the reason I'm
so damn tired.
I've met Robert Plant several times, (did I write about that?)
and some of those
times were more successful than others. The last time we met,
he screamed!
That's right - the sight of me made him go "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!" and
he wasn't kidding.
Swear to Koresh.
But I've yet to meet Jimmy.
If I had a magic wand, and could only meet someone for a few
seconds,
I'd go with Clinton because someday, I'm going to shake his hand
and look him
in the eye and say, "You son-of-a-bitch, you beat them all!"
ha ha
Trust me, he'll get a kick out of it.
That's going to happen, too.
Just like meeting Susan McDougal, I'm going to make that happen.
Maybe after Gore's been in office a few years and Bill's not
so busy.
But,
If I had to share a plane ride or an evening with somebody - it
would be Page.
I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but having listened to
so many of their
live shows for 25 years, I have a couple of dozen shows memorized.
I can tell you how he started Communication Breakdown
on 9/4/70.
I can tell you about "The Children of the Sun" from 9/14/71.
I can hum the Stairway guitar solos from 6/21/77 and 6/23/77.
Those were classic Page nights - two of the best of the best.
If I could play guitar, I could play those from memory.
When the dentist is tearing me a new one when the novacain isn't
working,
(I have a high tolerance for drugs - ha
ha) I play the theramin solo in my head
from the New York 73 shows, because it sounds like a dentist's
drill.
I can tell you about the mother-effing Nutcracker they
did in Cleveland
on April 28, 1977, a totally magic night, which is kinda
crazy because
they sucked bad the night before.
Zeppelin was a lot like Mark McGwire.
Sometimes they struck out, sure.
But sometimes they hit three home runs in a single game.
Sometimes they rushed for over 600 yards in one night!
And if you collect enough shows, you can possess the 50 or so
magic nights
when the best band in the world couldn't be touched by anybody,
anytime, anywhere.
That's one reason, I think, for their greatness.
It was always a high-wire act with them.
They refused to play the same way each night, so it was a gamble.
Instead of playing some over-rehearsed versions of their songs,
they'd
call audibles like a quarterback and change the song, often with,
shall we say,
imperfect results, but that's the only way I'd like to
hear real music - live music.
How completely different than the shit that passes for music today.
Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, N-Stink and that stuff isn't
music.
It's souless, corporate whore bullshit passing as real
music.
Whoops, I'm wandering again, I'd better get back on track.
If my magic wand had hours of juice in it, I'd like to
get into deeeeep conversation
with Page and ask questions such as, "When did you practice the
Nutcracker, if at all?"
and "Why do you use a cheap-ass $90 guitar to play the best song
in your catalog?"
or maybe even, "Is it true about the Mudshark Incident in Seattle?"
which is probably
the most famous groupie encounter in the history of rock. I get
the feeling Mr. Page
wouldn't mind an adoring fan peppering him with questions for
hours.
So,
...I'm at this party at Jimmy's house, and his English friends
don't care that
they're in His Presence (great album, by the way) but the real
kicker was,
the English dudes were big fans of BartCop!
ha ha
I'm trying to have a serious conversation with Jimmy Page, and
his friends
keep interupting, asking question about that fat bastard, lying
Nazi whore that they
enjoy reading about so much on bartcop.com.

Calling Dubya dyslexic is an insult to dyslexics everywhere.

155 and he NEVER says things like
"Is our children learning?" He can complete

Now granted, I have only anecdotal evidence

dyslexia DOES NOT cause you to commit malapropisms,

Subject: Rats! Who is this "asshole?"
Bush said on several occasions he wants
to change the tone in
Washington to one of "civility and respect."
So let's assume we can learn about the Guvnah
from his campaign.
How good is that civility or respect he
champions?
- "Asshole!" He said the word, "asshole?" what's civil or respectful about that?
- I don't hold it against people that use
this language. I hold it
against people that use this language
and act like they don't.
He isn't in a leadership position in his campaign:
- The push-polling in the Repub Primaries
against McCain (in South Carolina)
where his campaign would call up
voters and accuse McCain of being a "liar."
Bush said it was a rogue supporter
in his campaign.
- This subliminal message commercial which he claims not to have known about.
So there are people that want to put this
guy in charge of the world's mightiest military
and he can't get a few campaign workers
in line?
Scary.
