"So, Wesley Clark is running for president.
Pretty amazing guy. Four star general, first in his class
at West Point, supreme commander of
NATO, saw combat in Vietnam, won the bronze star, silver star,
the purple heart for being wounded
in battle. See, I'm no political expert, but that sounds pretty good
next to choking on a pretzel, falling
off a scooter and dropping the dog."

Max Cleland blasts Bush's arrogance and ignorance

Excerpt:
The war was the war that I, John Kerry,
Chuck Hagel and John McCain and 3 1/2 million other Americans
of our generation were caught up in. It
was the scene of America's longest war. It was also the locale of the
most frustrating outcome of any war this
nation has ever fought.
Unfortunately, the people who drove the
engine to get into the war in Iraq never served in Vietnam.
Not the president. Not the vice president.
Not the secretary of defense. Not the deputy
secretary of defense.
Too bad. They could have learned some lessons.
Instead of learning the lessons of Vietnam,
the president, the vice president, the secretary of defense
and the deputy secretary of defense have
gotten this country into a disaster in the desert.
They attacked a country that had not attacked
us. They did so on intelligence that was faulty,
misrepresented and highly questionable.
A key piece of that intelligence was an outright lie that the
White House put into the president's State
of the Union speech.
Quotes
"For a man who has benefited so greatly through
legacy and inheritance, President Bush seems determined
to deprive future generations of Americans
of their own....Bush and his neocon cronies have set a course
to undo our legacy. Bush is raiding
the corpus of the trust and by the time he's finished, all principal -
and
principles - will have been depleted.
Bush got to be a rich, successful man thanks to his family connections.
All along the way, from his admission
to Andover and Yale, to the rescue of his foundering oil business, to the
Texas Rangers deal, to his move into
politics, Bush was able to rely on paisans to come out ahead. Now it is
payback and he's protecting his own...In
the best traditions of a banana republic, Bush is actively concentrating
power and wealth. Friends-of-Bill walked
away with nothing compared with the Friends-of-Bush. They are being
given everything they want on a platter
- silver of course - and the spoils include what has been promised to you,
me and future generations of Americans."

Dixie
Chicks tell Country Music to pound sand

Excerpt:
The Dixie Chicks say they don't want to
be a country music band any more.
Violinist Martie Maguire told Spiegel magazine:
"We don't feel part of the country scene any longer, it can't be our home
any more."
She said she was disappointed other country
singers didn't back up the Dixie Chicks in their criticism of Bush's politics
on Iraq.
"A few weeks ago, Merle Haggard said a couple
of nice words about us, but that was it," Maguire complained.
"The support we got came from others, like Bruce
Springsteen."
Going home empty-handed from the Country
Awards ceremony also made them decide to break with the scene, Maguire
said.
"Instead, we won three Grammys against much stronger
competition.
"So we now consider ourselves part of the big
Rock 'n' Roll family."

Nazi Football
After the vulgar Pigboy made a point
about football last Sunday on ESPN,
Steve Young (R-Rich) countered, "That's
about as logical as a Democrat
voting for less government, to which
the Pigboy, having been told to keep
politics out of football replied, "The
gauntlet has been thrown."
So, the athletes (and Pigboy) who were talented enough to become
super-rich,
which forces them to turn Republican becayuse they can't survive
on $10M a year
have decided to turn Sunday afternoons into Sunday mornings.
The non-stop, ultra-vicious hatred that Pigboy used calling Chelsea
Clinton, "the White House dog,"
will now become part of America's football-viewing experience,
thanks to Disney and ABC.
You see, Disney wants Bush's $5,000,000,000 bribe in their corporate
bank account,
so they'll lean their football to the hard right. If you don't
like it, you can go to straight to hell.
"There's
too many niggers in football, anyway."

"Democracy itself is at stake in this election.
The extreme right wing has shown nothing but contempt
for democracy. Once again, we
stand here in Boston as patriots — and we stand with more than 410,000
other patriots around this nation who
have joined this campaign, and countless millions more who share our values.

Policies Threaten U.S. Ideals
Bart,
I lived in Eagle County (home of Vail and
Beaver Creek ski areas), from 1979 to 1991.
Vail had a police force so LARGE, due to
its 'bed-base' of about 35,000 people, that when
spring came, and the tourists vamoosed
homeward (And the seasonal worker drones), that we
STILL had a force that may have equaled
1 officer for each 200 people.
Think about that.
Also, you know the 'pipeline' of I-70 ran
through there, and about the time of the Rodney King episode,
after the Long Beach riots (ex-brother-in-law
lived there), there really was an amazing parade of cars that
traveled through (I drove a taxi, and thus
the main business was hoofin' up and down the Interstate between
the two ski areas), and there were a string
of arrests, for 'racial profiling' that prompted a slew of constitutional
law/lawsuits claiming violations of civil
rights for that 'profiling' (A lot of drugs were taken,
some weapons seizures),
and often one 'laughed' or cried to see
the white cops with their Latino or African-American 'captures'.
Am now out of touch with local affairs there,
but the actions and reactions of the 'community' are interesting.

Fundamental Principles - Limits of Knowledge
We understand that we don't know everything
and we probably never will. We accept that in answer
to many questions like, "Why does anything
exist?" that the only correct answer is "I don't know."
We don't just make something up when we
don't understand it. We accept that there are things
beyond our ability to comprehend. Yet we
relentlessly strive to comprehend it anyway.
Condi
knows irony
I just read this AP story and fell on my
butt laughing...
"France and Germany have been pushing for a much
quicker handover to
Iraqis as well as for a larger role for
the U-N itself.
Condi Rice is criticizing any plans to rush
the transfer of power, saying it has to come in
"an orderly process." Rice says the French plan
would transfer power to what she calls
"an unelected group of people." She says that
just wouldn't work."
Well, I guess she would know!!

I also noticed that the rest of the crew
ignored Rush.
He can hardly get a word in.
They acted like he didn't really exist

Perhaps humiliating him every week is the

He's going to make the money anyway, just

Clintons
Anoint Clark
by Bill Safire (R-Congenital Whore)
Click
Here
Excerpt:
Their candidate is Clark. Either they are
for him because (altruistic version) they think Clark would best
lead the party and country for the next
eight years, leaving them applauding on the sidelines, or (Machiavellian
version) they think his muddy-the-waters
candidacy is their ticket back to the White House in 2004 or 2008.
Which is more like the Clintons?
Two points:
With the BFEE rampantly raping helpless
countries for their own personal enrichment,
it's just like a punk-on-the-payroll like
Safire to accuse the Clinton's of doing something sneaky.
Also, Clinton would make a great Sec of
State in the Clark administration.
He would be the most valuable and experienced
person Clark could ever hope to get.
This
round, Bush really hits the trifecta
Click
Here
Excerpt:
"For the past two years, asked to square oceans
of red ink with campaign pledges to balance the budget,
Bush insists that he left himself three
outs: war, economic downtown and national emergency.
"Lucky me. I hit the trifecta."
It always pisses me off when this sick bastard
jokes about 9-11.
Actually, research has failed to find any
campaign occasion when Bush listed the three exceptions --
although there does seem to be a speech
when Al Gore did. But now, Bush has offered a plan that sets off
three different voter concerns: miscalculation,
isolation and a deficit the size of Texas.
This time, he's really hit the trifecta.
Or rather, it's hit him."

Subject: Kobe
bart,
can't you post this response to your paranoid
rant and give the woman a fair and balanced chance
after all she deserves the same consideration
as the accused. And you haven't ranted about these men,
who have nothing to do with this situation,
who are involving themselves (violently) as though "poor" Kobe
has no resources.
Bart, I thought you were a humanist. I have
overlooked some of your sophmoric attitudes toward women
cause I think you have a good heart. I
hope I'm not wrong and you are not just another selective rights advocate.
You don't defend male priveledge do you?
Isn't that just what you detest in the
Republican Right?
Prejudice is prejudice, Bart, give the
woman the same benefit of the doubt you give Kobe.
martha
Martha, why do you look past what I've written
to read between the lines?
I said it appeared the cops were illegally
sealing public records to shield the girl.
If
cops break the law to unfairly convict a black man in an all-white town,
why should I look the other way because
it might appear to some that I've turned GOP?
I'm guessing a difference between us is
that I'm willing to admit Kobe could be guilty,
but you seem to be saying this woman is
solid, innocent and the victim - for sure.
For all we know, she smelled money - we
just don't have any facts.
Two more things:
If I show you my bruised and cut-up knuckles,
and I tell you I hurt myself when I
punched Sean Hannity in the mouth, those
cuts do not prove I hit Sean Hannity.
If she has bruises, they have to establish
how she got them.
Lastly, and before you scream "He's
GOP!" have you heard that the cops may
allow the woman to testify on videotape,
which is BIG-time unconstitutional?
The Sixth Amendment gives Kobe the right
to face his accuser, not some videotape.
People who think Kobe has more power than the state of Colorado
are mistaken.

Lied, Many Soldiers Died
by Jimmy Breslin, who is at least partly sane

Excerpt:
"George Bush told lies and they died.
First, your government lied to ensure Bush's
re-election.
Who votes against a president in time of
war? And even better, you get oil with the winning election.
So Bush lied to you. Not misstatements.
Lies.
He and his people threw away their honor
and consciences to lie to the people they had sworn to protect.
The lies of Washington put young men from
Seymour, Tenn., and Maspeth, Queens and Palos Hills, Ill., into boxes.
And that, dear reader, is quite a lie."

Subject: Carvey as Miller's
ditto-monkey
Hey Bart,
Did you happen to catch Dana Carvey on either
Leno or Bill Maher's show last week?
I did. On Leno, Carvey tore a page out
of Dennis Miller's "no longer funny and can only
resurrect career by jumping on the anti-Clinton
and liberal-bashing bandwagon" handbook.
Making snide remarks and referring to Governor
Davis as "Gay Davis" worked well enough
for the Leno crowd. But when he tried the
EXACT same jokes on Maher's set he was nearly
booed for his obviously homophobic remarks,
and at one point I think I nearly heard crickets chirping.
No doubt Maher's audience is left of Leno's,
but I'll bet they're better read too.

The Unchallenged "Evidence" For War
by John R. MacArthur

Excerpt:
"The American media failed the country badly
these past eight months. As journalists, what can we do about it?
Politicians know all too well the propaganda
dictum related nearly twenty years ago by Peter Teeley, press secretary
to then VP Bush. Teeley was responding
to complaints that the elder Bush, during a televised debate, had grossly
distorted
the words of his and Ronald Reagan’s opponents,
Mondale and Ferraro. As Teeley explained it to The New York Whore Times
in October 1984, “You can say anything
you want during a debate, and 80 million people hear it.” If “anything”
turns out to be
false and journalists correct it, 'So what.
Maybe 200 people read it, or 2,000 or 20,000.'”
...unless you have Tim Russert on your payroll.
Then you can lie like crazy and never be called on it, and worse,
have Russert twist the truth into lies
so he can get another cookie from Karl Rove and his corporate
masters at General Electric.
Poor Timmy Russert, can only handle one thought at a time.
Subject: Bush
was reading!
I was trying to figure out what was wrong
with Bush's eyes during the Fox interview last night,
and then I realized, he was reading his
answers. Would you really hold Fox News to a higher standard then this?
I wouldn't.
Anyone who doesn't think so rewatch the
interview, his eyes and head are moving back and forth
the whole time, to Hume, then away, to
Hume, then away.
Matt
Matt, Bush is lucky to have the networks
fawning over his "greatness."

Subject: Clark Unglues
GOP
Watching Robert Novak gnawing his dental
adhesive last week on CNN's Crossfire, a thought occurred to me:
the prospect of presidential candidate
General Wesley Clark literally unglues the GOP.
Mr. Novak reillustrated this phenomenon
in his Monday, September 22 editorial, "The Trouble With Wesley Clark."
Novak's transformation of a diplomatic
molehill into a blunderous mountain of personal weakness is the latest
example
of how far out onto that precarious branch
of spin desperate ideologues will stray. I imagine a similarly desperate
but
resourceful Democratic demagogue in 1952
might have brought into question the affair between General Dwight D.
Eisenhower and his driver, Ms. Kay Summersby.
Ultimately, I'm encouraged by the frenzied
tone and esoteric nature of Novak's "dirt" on Clark.
Apparently the General's bash-ability potential
is a scarce commodity.
In 2000 the Republicans swiftly firebombed
the campaign of John McCain.
However, misleading telephone push-polls
won't work when your opponent comes from "the other" side of the fence.
