Quotes
"The California crunch really is the result
of not enough power
to power the power of generating
plants."
-- President Extra-Stupid, trying to make his small brain work
Board was told of risks before Bush stock sale
Excerpt:
"One week before Bush's now-famous sale
of stock in Harken Energy Corp. in 1990,
Harken was warned by its lawyers that Bush
and other members of the troubled oil company's
board faced possible insider trading risks
if they unloaded their shares.
The warning from Harken's lawyers came in
a legal memorandum whose existence has been
little noted until now, despite the many
years of scrutiny of the Bush transaction. The memo was
not received by the SEC until the day after
the agency decided not to bring insider-trading
charges against Bush, documents show."
This is one of those goes-nowhere stories - I don't know why I even run them.
Bush will never be held accountable for anything because the Democrats
are too scared
to give Bush even five percent of the grief that they gave Bill
Clinton - who was elected.
But
Bart, we don't want to be like them.
Besides, Mr. Rove wouldn't like it...
Clinton's grade on economics:
Consumer confidence soars!
Bush's grade on economics:
Consumer
confidence sours!
Rush's take: "Those grades are almost identical."
Does Aaron Sorkin read back issues of bartcop.com?
The opening of last night's great West Wing contained a
bartcop.com staple.
Those of you who taped it, play the first few minutes and compare
Toby's answer to:
From waaaaaay back in Volume 162 - They All Look the Same to Rush
> Remember when that punk-ass Bernard Shaw asked
Democratic
> presidential nomiee Michael Dukakis during
the 1988 debate,
> "What would you do to the man who raped and
murdered your wife?"
> Dukakis kicked the dirt and said, "Capital punishment
is wrong,"
> which made him look weak and indifferent to
his wife's murder.
> Of course, the correct answer to that particular
question is,
> "I'd dismember the slug limb-by-limb with my
own goddamn hands,"
> but that's why they don't let the widower
sit on the jury.
Hey, Aaron, take what you want, use what you need.
...but if you keep this up, you might owe me a trip to LA top
meet the cast.
Another West Wing note:
I said yesterday that Sorkin would show Gore how he should've
handled Dim Son.
"If you're going to take the hit for being
an elite know-it-all anyway, you might as well
prove to the viewing audience that
you really are smarter than the idiot Governor."

"We want our teachers to be trained so they
can meet
the obligations; their obligations

We want them to know how to teach the
science of reading.
In order to make sure there's not this

-- Dubya, trying to communicate
with middle schoolers in Milwaukee
Another
blow against Ashcroft
Judges rule for "less government," which Ashcroft hates
Excerpt:
A federal appeals court ruled for the first
time Tuesday that the government
cannot revoke doctors' prescription licenses
for recommending marijuana to sick patients.
A three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit unanimously
found that Ashcroft's policy of
playing doctor interferes with the free-speech
rights of real doctors and patients.
Ashcroft and the Republicans claim they want less government,
but they're lying.
They want to use the power of the federal government to swoop
down on places like Oregon
and take away the voters' right to make their own choices on
how to live and die.
They want to use the power of the federal government to swoop
down on places like California
and take away the voters' right to make their own choices on
which medicines will help them
cope with the effects of chemotherapy and glaucoma.
John Ashcroft and the Republican party are liars.
They don't want less government.
They want to control every American citizen.
Let's hope this doesn't make it to the crooked Supreme Court.
They're on the B.F.E.E. payroll and will rule the way
George pays them to rule.

Quotes
"If a person is caught lying, how do
we know their entire life isn't a lie?"
-- Laura the Unloved, first hour today
Uh, Laura, aren't you guilty of lying?
You told Bill O'Reilly "I don't remember
spreading my legs for that camera."
That's a lie, Laura.
You remember spreading your legs for that camera and you know
it.
More proof:
You did this when you were 29, so you have declared,
"Once a person hits 30, they are a fully
develeoped adult with responsibilities."
As the Church Lady used to say, "How conveeeenient."
So, according to Laura's rules -
She
was caught lying, so her entire life is a lie.

The vulgar pigboy is still pissed as hell about the Wellstone Memorial service.

Yeah, the poor GOP has no chance to get their message out.

history
Go, Gene!
Subject: It's Still The Economy Stupid
When he took office in 2001, George W. Bush
inherited the strongest economy in American history.
He inherited the largest federal budget
surplus in American history, and the prospect of paying off the
entire national debt in just eight years.
He inherited a strong dollar and sound fiscal policy. He inherited
a nation whose economy was so strong that
commentators who just a decade before were predicting
American decline were now complaining about
American dominance.
And yet, Dubya blew it.
Squandered everything he'd inherited from
President Clinton.
We thought if Junior was good at anything, it was inheriting things.
Don't be surprised if Republicans feel a
tremendous backlash on November 5th,
for these failed economic policies of the
present administration.

Quotes
"Which side shall prevail in this epic electoral
tilt? Who shall control the future of fortress America?
Will we be, as the Republicans desire,
a nation of wealthy, heavily armed white men, befouling the air
and water in a ceaseless quest for profit,
beholden to no laws but those of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?
Or shall we instead embrace the Democrats'
vision of a namby-pamby quasi-socialist Republic with an
all-homosexual army, flamboyantly defending
a citizenry suckling at the foul teat of government welfare?
The choice is yours fair maiden America,
for the name of this feudal system is democracy."

"Daily Show's" coverage of "Indecision 2002"

"Look at Paul Wellstone. The only Democrat
up for re-election with the stones to vote
against Bush's use of force resolution.
And Wellstone moved up in the polls at the time.
Turns out people actually want a Democrat,
not a Republican-lite. My prayer is that
Senator Wellstone's death will light
a fire under his fellow Democrats here in Washington
to start acting like Democrats again."

It happened again
These days, I just check the PO Box once a week or so.
I checked it Wednesday night and look here!
It was a giant envelope from a law firm in Decatur, Alabama.
I thought, "Cool! Somebody wants a piece
of Ol' Bart in court!"
I got all excited about the prospects of a big-ass lawsuit - but
...it was not to be.
One of the lawyers at the firm reads bartcop.com
and he was sending me a video tape
that I've been wanting to see. So, ...there's no
lawsuit, ...no day in court, ...nothing.
...sniff...
I know in my heart that if I keep at it, if I keep calling Laura
Schlessinger an unprincipled whore
who posed spread-legged for a man not her husband, if I point
out that Rush is a grifter who steals
money from the stupidest ditto-monkeys in America and laughs
about it, if I continue to point out that
Bush paid for an abortion for a 15-year old girl at Twelve Oaks
Hospital in Houston, TX
(now known as the Bayou City Medical Center), ...I just know
if I keep telling the truth, at some
point the flying-monkey right might have the balls to call me
on it, ...but nooooooooooo.
Unlike England, where they sued Greg Palast for telling the goddamn
truth, in America you can't
lose a civil trial for telling the plain and simple truth, so
I've been missing out on some court action.
Reminder:
I promise to defend myself while sipping fine tequila.
If cameras aren't allowed, I'll sneak a mini-cam in and webcast
it.
If Republicans Retake the Senate
I'm afraid of what might happen if Republican
control both the Senate and the House.
That happened for the first several months
of the Bush presidency and during that short time
they passed huge tax cuts for the super-rich
shifting the tax burden to the middle class and
turning the surplus into a deficit. It
wasn't until control switched back to the Democrats that
the price of gas and energy stopped climbing
and came back to reasonable levels.
The Republican party is clearly in the pocket
of big oil, the super-rich, and the multi-national
corporations and those who would oppress
the very freedoms and liberties that define America.
Things have gotten a lot worse in the last
two years and I am afraid that if the Republicans win
both houses of Congress that our future
will be even darker than it is today.

"It's the right thing to do."
-- Tiger Woo
apparently reversing his earlier position on the Augusta matter.
I think it's a cheap ploy to placate me into lifting the BartCop Hex.
But, hey, ...Tiger, ...I might be a polician someday, so let's you and me make a little deal.
Today is October 31, 2002.
There are 61 days left in the year.
Between now and the close of business 2002,
if you donate at least a million dollars to
the United Negro College Fund, (Please
God, make that a current reference), I will agree
to lift the BartCop
Hex for a one year probation
period ending New Year's Eve 2003.
So, all you gotta do is a throw a million
their way, and I'll lift BartCop
Hex which should
net you about six major titles this summer.
Hey, it's not like I'm paying you big bucks to turn whore.
I'm just asking you to reverse your Rush-friendly,
pro-discrimination course AND be champ again.
Wouldn't you like to be the champ again,
Tiger?
Wouldn't you like to be back on top?
Or do you want to continue to wallow in mediocrity the rest of
your career?
The choice is yours, my man.
Just do it.
Death
of a decent man....
by Alan Bisbort
Excerpt:
"...Within an hour of Wellstone's death, Reuters
released a story headlined
"Short Term Bonds Up on Wellstone Death."
Wall Street analysts were quoted
saying that his death would assure a Republican
takeover of the U.S. Senate.
A "shift of power," as it were. How can
any thinking, feeling person align
themselves with a party that tacitly cheers
the death of a U.S. senator?"
But Alan, it's worse than that. I'm certain that seat will
remain Democratic,
so those "Wall Steet analysts" are joining in on a false circle
jerk.
Imagine Newt's funeral...
Senator Paul Wellstone, a passionate man whose
politics were his life, had a funeral that celebrated that life.
Wingers panicked and pounced, ruthlessly calling
the memorial a debasement of, well, just about everything.
But imagine the shoe on the other foot. Take
an imaginary trip to Newt Gingrich's funeral.
Would there be political supporters lauding his
passion and diligence in furthering their causes?
Of course.
Would wingers eulogize him by saying the best way to remember him would be to win the next election for Republicans? Without a doubt.
Would the (largely imaginary) leftists in the
press spend a few days cutting the guy some slack,
even finding nice things to say about him? Absolutely.
So what would be different at Newt's day of reckoning?
Two things. First, though his political opponents
would doubtless be relieved to be rid of the thorn,
they wouldn't bray about it all over the fucking
media. Second, Ann Coulter would use the excuse to
write something shamelessly slanderous about
Hillary. No, she's already doing that with Wellstone.
I guess there's only the one difference, then.

"I'm Mandy Slutzker from Plymouth, Minnesota.
And I spent my entire summer volunteering
for Senator Paul Wellstone's reelection
campaign. I would like to clarify that yesterday was
not a funeral. The funeral was held
on Monday at Temple Israel, and it was closed to media.
Yesterday was a celebration of Paul's
wonderful life and his commitment to public service."

Hey Bart,
Isn't it funny that Rush can spout on about 'Old
Cadavers' when the repugnicans
have been putting Helms and Thurmond back in
office over and over again.
If anyone is a cadaver, its Thurmond.

Wellstone’s
Legacy: A Life of Principle
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Much has been made of the fact that as
a Senator, he often found himself at the
short end of a 99-1 roll call. He took
pride in that principled obstinacy. But whenever
he talked about his own record, Wellstone
put equal emphasis on the work he
accomplished with more conventional Democrats
and with Republicans as well.
Greens and other leftish poseurs often
denounced his pragmatism, as if the aim
of a liberal in Congress should be to annoy
colleagues and achieve nothing.
