Today in History
- In 1989:
The House approved a bill that would restore Medicaid
for abortions in cases of rape or incest.
President Bush vetoed the bill, telling the rape victims to "go
fuck themselves."
The veto was upheld.

Don't let anyone talk about the Today Show having

The polls are tightening a bit, so they put on
this nut job to show what the GOP is really like.
Notice the dodge when asked about the "They are
14% of the population. Who the hell cares?"
comment he made. Then they follow up with Begala,
someone who makes sense and is intelligent.
This reinforces the contrast between the the GOP
hate and the Dems.
Oh boy, they are talking about Dr. Whora now
too!
The Today Show...fighting for America by showing
that the GOP is made up of fascists!
Haha. Ratings are driven by controversy (Jerry
Springer).
Good guys like, oh I don't know, 99% of the Democratic
Party, just aren't good for ratings.
Instead of condemning T.S., we should send them
a "Thank You" for revealing the TRUE GOP.
Remember, most of the hate-filled slugs have
been in hiding until after the election.
The T.S. is just digging around in the woodpile
in order to shed some light on the hateful varmints.

Thought you would like to hear about my true encounter with Rush.
My wife was hired to be managing editor for Marta
Fitzgerald Limbaugh's new magazine Vent
(it lasted four issues). It was a great opportunity
and ostensibly free from overt politics (really!).
Anyway, Marta hosted a party for her staff on
July 4th at the Limbaugh family compound on
Palm Beach, FL, and I met the man himself. He
was actually quite pleasant and we even agreed
on one point during our brief conversation (We
both thought that the wild fires raging in Florida
were due to lack of prescribed burns and he went
on about his infamous statistics that there are
more trees now in America then when the Pilgrims
first landed. True, but the trees are much
denser--due to lack of prescribed burns--and
there is much less cord feet and
the trees are on average much younger.)
Anyway, he was offering cigars and I noticed a
few Cubans in the humidor.
Being one of the unwashed masses, I couldn't
pass it up. The cigar wasn't
that great and kept going out but the point is,
I smoked a Cuban cigar on the
Fourth of July at the estate of the ultimate
right winger! I wonder what
Jesse Helms would have thought of that.

Would like to share you more, but the really juicy
stories came from my wife
who signed this non-disclosure agreement. I didn't,

Subject: A note from Washington DC
Dear BartCop,
The other day a friend came into my office and, as happens this time
of year in
Washington, the discussion turned to politics. My friend is an
"undecided" voter and
couldn't figure out which of the candidates he should vote for.
He asked why it was so
easy for me to make up my mind to vote Democratic when he found the
issues so confusing.
In order to give him an answer to his question I asked him to look out
the window of my
office and tell me what he saw. My office overlooks a small park
belonging to the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church (Abraham Lincoln's church, 2 blocks
from the White House)
and each morning as we come to work we have to step over dozens of
the homeless derelicts
who camp out there in every kind of weather. With this scene
in front of him, I reminded my
friend that Republicans believe that we, the public, can be trusted
to take care of ourselves
if only the government would get out of the way. In fact, this
mass of homeless humanity has
only been there since Ronald Reagan, true to conservative principles,
declared that we
shouldn't provide for the homeless 'against their will'.
My friend asked how we as a nation, with the greatest prosperity in
the history of the world,
could stand by while our people, unable to care for themselves, were
homeless and hungry in
Abraham Lincoln's churchyard? I told him it was because the fundamental
difference between
Republicans and Democrats. Republicans believe everyone is on
their own and Democrats
believe that we're in this together. Needless to say, we gained
another vote for Gore.

Gay group rejects Dr. Laura's
apology
By Melissa Grego
HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - A gay advocacy group
is not buying the words of regret
addressed to the gay community by Dr. Screech
in a Daily Variety ad Wednesday.
Schlessinger and her new syndicated TV talk
show, ``Dr. Laura,'' have come under fire
from gay protesters in the light of controversial
comments she has made on her radio show
about homosexuality, using words such as
``deviant'' and ``biological errors.''
In the text of the ad, Schlessinger declares,
``I deeply regret the hurt this situation
has caused the gay and lesbian community.''
(Editor's Note: Lying slut.)
In response to news that the ad would run,
the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation
issued a statement on Tuesday saying, ``Laura
Schlessinger once again blames others for the
impact of her rhetoric, refusing to take
responsibility for her precisely chosen, scientifically
inaccurate descriptions of gay and lesbian
lives.''
In the past several months, much rhetoric
has been exchanged via statements issued to the
media by various parties over the Screech-hosted
talk show distributed by Paramount.
GLAAD's and Screech's words come a week
after ``Dr. Laura'' lost its carriage in Canada.
(Editor's note: That was more an abortion than a mis-carriage)
Four Canadian TV stations, all owned by
CanWest Global Communications, said last week
that Screech's show was being pulled due
to poor ratings and lack of advertiser interest.
So, Laura the Martyr sees her income dropping.
What does a whore do when the income drops?
Anything - including abandoning her principles.
I wonder - will Margaret Shemo let Screech get by with that?
Look Here!

Subject: Message in Variety
I read your "heartfelt message" that was
printed in a special "Gay Hollywood" edition
of the trade paper Daily Variety.
The word "heartfelt" is usually connected to an apology,
but you apologize only for "a poor choice
of words." (Rather serious, for a radio personality.)
Then you twist your so-called apology into
another attack!
You claim, "Ugly words have been relentlessly
repeated and distorted for far too long."
How did your poorly-chosen words become
"ugly"?
"Relentlessly repeated" by whom?
"Distorted" by whom?
Your implication is clear -- your words
have been made to sound "ugly" by having been
"relentlessly repeated and distorted"
by gays and lesbians! Yes, the very people whom
you've opposed as "a staunch defender of
the traditional family."
My G-d, you can't even apologize without
making false accusations!
Since you can't sing, as you've conceded,
why do you insist on performing the same old song in public?
The lyrics are: "It's someone else
who's created this situation. It's someone else who's caused
the hurt.
It's always someone else's fault, not mine."
Nobody wants to hear that song, Dr. Laura
-- not on radio, not on TV.
If you want to sing it, you'll have to
do it for free.
If your "heartfelt message" was inspired
more by the Day of Atonement
than by the Week of Sweeps, that shouldn't
bother you at all.

By having Rush ("Talent on Loan from God")Limbaugh
