 Democrats too wimpy to criticize president's policies

   Excerpt:
 Whether it is out of fear of being branded "soft" on terrorism or simple political paralysis
 at the sight of the president's sky-high favorable poll numbers, too many Washington Democrats
 are too scared to question -- let alone to criticize -- the Bush administration's very questionable policies.

 The New Bush Doctrine: "See You Next Week"
    by Arianna Huffington

  Excerpt:
 The president, after all, has been building quite a record of full-blooded rhetoric and anemic follow-through.
 One might even say it’s starting to become his MO.

 For instance, after urgently declaring last Thursday that “The world finds itself at a critical moment,”
 “the storms of violence cannot go on” and “enough is enough,” he announced that he would be sending
 Secretary of State Colin Powell to the region sometime "next week.”
 I could have sworn I heard him add “or whenever he can get around to it.”

 Next week? Why wasn't a helicopter waiting on the South Lawn to immediately whisk Powell of f
 to start his peace-keeping mission? Was Air Force One all booked up?
 Or did Powell have more important plans for the weekend?
 
 

 As previously reported here at  bartcop.com  Powell wanted to get some face time on TV.
 Powell wanted to get some friendly tongue from Tim Russert and Fox News more than he wanted
 to do his damn job which is throwing water on the fires raging in the Middle East.

 ...and, of course, the Democrats and Washington press are silent.

Subject: Regarding Your 9-ll piece today

The closest I ever came to getting angry with you was after 9-11 when you
seemed to buy the whole Bush take whole hog.  It was an outrageous attack on
American citizenry...but maybe Osama was not the dude who did it....Maybe the
towers didn't  collapse by hits by planes. Maybe we just got Operation Norwooded
into going along with what a really scummy inept figurehead wanted us to do.

I still say we had three choices:
1. Do nothing but wring our hands and say, "Woe be us."
2. Wait three or eight years for a REAL president to do something.
3. Support the brainless chimp as he orders the military to get revenge.

If you know of a fourth option, send it to me.
 

I would encourage you to do more to demand a full and fair investigation as to how this
horrendous tragedy befell us...oh, let us look at the absolute thumb-up-the butt of our civil
defense system on that day...Not one plane should have hit its target...three did.  The failure
of the FAA/ANG and DOD...and the Pentagon who let planes fly into targets and kill people
is unconscionable..  If the Pentagon with missiles on its roof can't stop an attack from an hour
away, koresh help us all....Dig a little deeper and go a little edgier with your reports.
That is where the truth lies.

My influence is so next-to-nothing, science has yet to invent a machine than can measure it.
Sure, we are growing, and we expect to make some new friends before the end of the month,
but all I can do is shame the Democrats into doing some actual work for their constituents.
 

We don't anymore have citizen representatives in DC or a free press....
sorry fella, that puts the burden on you...and sites like you.
Run with it for you have more courage than most...

If I'm the guy that can save us we're in a lot of trouble.
However, I will attempt to do what I can..
 

Hey...moving to St. Louis in a couple months,....spot you to a frozen custard and and Imo's pizza....

Just wanted to take a moment out of my busy day to let you know
what a moronic fucking website you operate.  I makes me ill to know
that there's valuable server space being occupied by this mindless drivel,
and that somewhere out there you are breathing my precious oxygen.

John, it's nice to meet you, and thank you for taking the time to write.
Also, I was unaware the oxygen was yours - forgive me?
 

I'm sure I'll be seeing you on the news soon enough as a SWAT team
breaks down the front door to your Oklahoma compound because you
decided you didn't need to pay taxes since that would be "unconstitutional."

John, take a breath and tell me - to whom are your comments directed?
I'm the opposite of the "pay no taxes, Oklahoma compound" people.
I'm a Democrat, and semi-proud of it.
 

But hey, if you're wasting all of your time on this site, at least it
keeps you from reproducing.....and that, at least, is a good thing.

It's true that I have no children, but I'm surprised the website is responsible.
It just shows how important it is to listen to the ideas of others.
 

Oh, and you should do a little more research on your hero Bill Clinton,
ever seen "The Clinton Files"??  I would assume not.

Perhaps you mean "The Clinton Chronicles," that even the Rev. Jerry Falwell
(the man who made millions selling them) will no longer stand behind?
 

It's a fantastic little documentary that was circulated about 6 years ago.

"Fantastic" is the perfect word to describe those tapes, John
"Fantastic" is derived from "fantasy" which Webster defines as
"the free play of creative imagination," which fits those tapes, so we agree on that.
 

But I'm sure it was just propaganda generated by the secret Republican underground
Democrat-discrediting society and you wouldn't watch two seconds of it anyway
- it doesn't fit your agenda.

No, it was produced by Jerry Falwell, a money-grubbing profiteer who is religiously insane .
He made millions selling that "fantastic" story which Kenneth Starr was unable to prove,
not even with $75 million and seven years of terrorizing innocent witnesses.
Perhaps your facts are not as solid as you'd like them to be?
 

Do us all a favor, throw a stereo in your tub the next time you feel like taking a bath.
It'll save us taxpayers the headache of paying a state attorney to defend your sorry ass in court.

ha ha

John, as a new friend, may I offer some free advice?
A court of law is the last place you'd want to meet me.
Nobody loves the courtroom action more than Ol' BartCop.

I enjoyed our exchange - promise you'll write again...

Airport Security

Dear Editor:

Airport security--even after being "federalized"--is unbelievably lax, especially here at LAX.

I just returned from Waco, TX after taking my 15 year-old-sister for an abortion. Her boyfriend,
who owns a small oil company and a baseball team, was absent from school the day they taught abstinence.

Upon our arrival at home, my sister discovered--even though she'd been through several
x-rays and metal detectors--she was still carrying a coat hanger in the back of her coat.

"No wonder the flight was uncomfortable", she exclaimed, "it's a good thing abortion is legal
now, not like when George Bush was AWOL, snorting coke, and getting arrested, or he
would've needed this hanger for the abortion on his 15 year old girlfriend!"

 Dennis Miller had his funniest show of the year Friday night.
 He hurt himself skiing, and had his arm in a sling. He said he should
 be taking pain killers, "but I have to be sharp to debate Alec Baldwin."
(I think he was eating pain-killers while writing all week, which made the show funnier)

 Dennis, you're such a brown-nosing coward.
 When you have a Republican on your show, you scream that "nobody in their
 right mind could possibly support Clinton," and then when a Clinton fan
 such as Baldwin or Alfre Woodard shows up, you get a mealy-mouth.

"Oh, Alec, back on SNL, you were considered the greatest host ever.
  Oh, Alec, I love your work.
  Oh, Alec, you're so brave and smart and handsome."

 Dennis, I'm so old, I remember when you used to crucify ass-kissing, loser-wannabes.
 Now you are one.
 Tell me, Dennis, does it feel that good when you cash that check?

 Dennis, if you have something bad to say about Clinton,
 why don't you have the balls to say it when a Democrat's the guest?

 Subject: Regarding: "Columnist's Gridiron Dinner Behavior Irks Bush Officials"

 Scott;

 I just read your account of the Gridiron dinner where Paul Krugman failed to bark and
 slap his flippers together during what the White House deemed appropriate moments
 of obsequiousness during the proceedings.

 Click  Here  to read the offending column

 Fine. This administration has long proven itself to be McCarthy’s reincarnation, so no surprise there.

 But Scott, how about grabbing your spine a little and refusing the whole “anonymous White House source” bit?
 I mean, c’mon, the story lacks any credibility since the comments are just cheap potshots by low-level staffers
 (we know this because who else would be pegged to spend the whole dinner scanning the crowd for “non-believers”)
 who refuse to go on record.

 Perhaps your next story could be titled “Cowardice in the Basement” and shed some light on the little twits toiling
 in the boiler room of the White House who concoct these stories (same folks who brought you the White House
 trashing incident before Clinton left office – or maybe one of the more creative cretins who came up with the
 “Clinton caused Mideast violence by trying too hard” charage that Ari was unfortunate enough to believe.)
 
 It’s disheartening to me that I have to write a letter to you – the professional journalist – explaining that this type
 of behavior is just standard in real life. Political or private. Where were you, Scott, when Starr, Gingrich, Hyde,
 Barr, Burton, Ray (Starr II), Lott, ad naseum not only refused to applaud president Clinton, but nodded
 sagastically when our last elected president was called a “scumbag” by Burton?
 
 This is just ridiculous – you completely missed the story, which should have been
 “McCarthyites Slam Dissention of Opinion”….or, if you’re more inclined toward satire:
 “Economist’s Failure to Bow to Naked Emperor Raises Ire.”

 Whatever. If I wrote every member of the media who’s on the gravy train (do you have an official WH
 nickname yet, Scott? Something Bush-original, like “Scotty-Boy”?), I’d never leave my desk. Just do the
 world a favor and dig down a little bit; I’m sure your favorite journalism professor would agree with me
 – unless he, too, has a catchy nickname bestowed by Georgie-Boy.

 GOP Afraid of Crossfire now
  They can't debate honestly, so they boycott

 Click  Here

  Excerpt:
 Maybe it was Paul Begala's opening comments on the first day of CNN's revamped
 Crossfire that it was time to "kick a little right-wing ass" that angered Republicans.

 Or when cohost James Carville kept interrupting GOP Chairman Marc Racicot.
 Whatever, Republican leaders are blackballing the show.

"The word is out: Don't go on; you'll get screwed," says a top Senate aide.
 

 Translation: For the first time in years, the left is fighting back.
 The fundies can no longer just show up and spew a litany of Clinton-hating lies unchallenged,
  like on every other damn TV show in the United States because Carville or Begala
 will call them on it and make them eat it live with everyone watching.

 That's right, GOP, stay with 
 where they let you lie unopposed for hours and hours.
