As I type this, (11 AM CST) WH spokesman Scott McClellan is being
hammered
by the WH press corps over Karl Rove's narc-ing on that CIA agent
to Bob Novak .
McClellan is losing his cool - this is really fun to watch.
Wolf the Whore is calling this "a major
scandal."
I believe Scott McClellan is having his worst day at work ever.

Here to hear Scott McClellan's Nancy Grace guarantee
that Rove is innocent.
It's just one minute long, but it's music to my ears.
It's about time the press woke the hell up and got to work.
It's slightly possible that after being led around by the nose
for over three years, the press
MIGHT get back to doing the job they so gleefully did when the
last elected president was
rumored to have a girlfriend. Unlike that, this is serious stuff
with lives at stake.
"I have nothing but contempt and anger for
those who betray the trust by exposing
the name of our sources. They are,
in my view, the most insidious, of traitors."

for Hillary, Part 1
Why does the GOP yearn for Hillary to run for president?

Excerpt:
There's a powerful political movement afoot
to draft Hillary for president in 2004.
Its partisans are committed almost to the
point of fanaticism, and their number is
growing by the hour. This thing is
an absolute juggernaut. Even so, the Draft Hillary '04
forces probably won't secure their candidate's
Democratic nomination. Why not?
Because they're all Republicans!

Bush & Drunk Driving
by Robert Perry at consortiumnews.com
Click

Excerpt:
"Bush’s putative allies, the likes of British
Prime Minister Tony Blair, may have played the role of enablers,
the weak-willed friends who lack the courage
to stand up to an inebriated pal who is staggering toward the
driver’s side of the car. One could argue
that France and Germany were giving Bush the kind of realistic advice
that could have spared the United States
the worsening debacle in Iraq and saved the lives of more than 300 U.S.
soldiers.
Still, like the drunk driver who won’t admit
that the accident was his fault, Bush continues to slur facts and logic,
blaming anyone but himself for the geopolitical
pile-up in the desert. Yet, as his excuses and deceptions become
more apparent, the disconnect between Bush’s
words and reality are also harder to conceal. To walk away from
responsibility for the mess he's made,
Bush needs even more enablers, especially inside the Washington news media.
Bush's
Big Betrayal
by Michael Hammerschlag
Click
Here
Excerpt::
Cheney, Wolfowitz, and co. first tried
to browbeat and bully the CIA into perverting and distorting their intelligence
to portray Iraq as a clear and present
threat, making a dozen-odd trips to Langley to coax them in the right direction.
When that didn’t work, they essentially
created their own shadow “intelligence” outfit, though even that word is
a stretch,
the Office
of Special Plans (didn’t the Nazis have something called this?).
Peopled by right-wing zealots, political hacks,
and true believers.. they pooled every
wild rumor, unsubstantiated report, and generous interpretation that claimed
Iraq was
an imminent danger and presented it to
our over-eager President. Unknown and unvetted by CIA, DIA, State Dept.,
NSA;
this foul stew was injected daily into
Bush’s propaganda pronouncements to the American people, which helped persuade
our dimwitted electorate that Osama and
Saddam were blood brothers, and allowed “patriot” yahoos to shout down
objections
to an unjustified preemptive attack. Other
sources of rubbish were Ahmed Chalabi’s group of distant exile Would-be-Kings,
and a similar secret right wing group in
Ariel Sharon’s office, dispensing rumors that the Mossad considered baloney.
In the CIA’s eyes, Bush has taken their
intelligence product, adulterated it with trash and nonsense, repackaged
it,
and sold it like a tacky car salesman as
the best estimate America can make. Then he used it to fraudulently launch
an unnecessary war, a betrayal of the CIA.

Quotes
"George W. Bush is a liar. He has lied large
and small, directly and by omission....Bush's truth-defying
crusade for war did not mark a shift
for him. Throughout his campaign for the presidency and his years
in the White House, Bush has mugged
the truth in many other areas to advance his agenda. Lying has
been one of the essential tools of
his presidency. To call the forty-third President of the United States
a prevaricator is not an exercise of
opinion, not an inflammatory talk-radio device. Rather, it is backed up
by an all-too-extensive record of self-serving
falsifications. While politicians are often derided as liars,
this charge should be particularly
stinging for Bush. During the campaign of 2000, he pitched himself as
a candidate who could "restore" honor
and integrity to an Oval Office stained by the misdeeds and
falsehoods of his predecessor. To brand
Bush a liar is to negate what he and his supporters declared
was his most basic and most important
qualification for the job... Bush campaigned for the presidency
as the fellow who would bring honesty
back to the White House. ... Bush's promise was a lie.
The future of the United States remains
in the hands of a dishonest man."

Lies of George Bush
Davis
to enter Mr. Olympia contest
by
Faun Otter
In a surprise move today, Gray Davis declared
his intent to compete in the Mr.Olympia bodybuilding competition.
During a photo op at the Steroids'N'Speed
outlet in Orange county, Arnold Schwartzenegger commented,
"Dat is absurd. It takes years of training and
preparation and many hours of diligent work and a body far above
average in its ability to respond to the
demands of the gym. Gray Davis has jumped in because of his ego and is
relying on his name recognition and charisma.
The sport of bodybuilding has many people with more talent and
better bodies. It is utterly unfair on
the defending champion Ronnie Coleman who has devoted his life to perfecting
his body for posing almost butt naked while
covered in baby oil. Hell, Ronnie didn't even have to tamper with the
judges the way I did in Essen in order
to win."
Reporter Faun Otter (Bartcop.com) asked
a follow up question,
"Wouldn't you agree that you are unqualified to
be governor of California, based on your own logic?
To be governor takes years of training
and preparation, many hours of diligent work and a brain far above average
in its ability to respond to the subtle
economic and managerial tasks of the office. You entered the race because
of
your ego and are relying on name recognition
alone since you don't have an ounce of charisma. California has a
great many people better qualified than
you for the job, especially Gray Davis who was elected to the position
and
is a brilliant but boring accountant who
would have a very real chance of balancing California's budget if the Bush
regime and the energy companies would stop
screwing with his state. Your years of preparing to pose almost
butt naked while covered in baby oil don't
seem to have any relevance to leading the world's sixth largest
economy out of the Bush recession."
Arnold: "Fuck you. I can crush you and steal
your chick."
I don't remember what happened next.
Flowers maybe sent to the Kaiser General
Hospital in Orange county
where I am in Room 101 recovering
from Arnold's debating technique.

Sting
the spammer
Have you seen those new AOL commercials featuring Sting?
Apparently, AOL is very proud of their instant messaging service,
which now can send unrequested songs, maybe even video,
to your computer
Spam e-mail is bad ebough, but who wants to get full songs -
uninvited?
In the commercial, it showed 4-5 people working at their individual
computers,
when suddenly a Sting song starts playing and they say, "What
the fu...?"
Why would AOL brag about their new spamming capabilities, and
why
would Sting agree to star as the BIG-time spammer who got this
technology first?

Bob, thanks for ending on a positive note.
Hey Dennis - quess what?
When Bush is exposed as a murdering fraud,
and he becomes the most hated man in politics,
we don't want you back - stay on the loser's side.
Subject: Bush
low poll numbers scare me
It scares me when Bush's poll numbers drop
below 50% because the only things that drive
Bush's poll numbers up are terrorist events
and war. Once the cloud of terrorism and war
subsides the voters start to notice that
the economy is collapsing, the deficit is soaring, education
and health care systems failing, and the
governments wants to spy on everything we do.
So what scares me is with the presidential
election heating up - Bush needs a war or terrorist event
to distract America from his failed presidency.
And I get nervous when Bush needs war.

What
if God was one of us?
Years ago, I was watching Dave and an unknown singer came on.
It was Joan Osborne singing "What if
God was one of us?"
Suspending the argument, I just liked the melody and the way
she sang the lyrics.
"What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus,
trying to make his way home."
At the time, that particular Mitsubishi VCR had a repeat feature.
I engages it and heard the song, over and over, probably 40-50
times.
Sidebar:
And I thought of the mountain of hatred
that comes from the political-religious right.
If political frauds were really Christians,
wouldn't they treat everyone like they were Jesus?
Have you ever in your life met a religious
person who truly cared about other people?
African-Americans could be God, but they're
"less thans" to the conservative Republicans.
Gays and lesbians could be God, but they
beat them, tie them to fences and let them die.
When Tom Delay introduces a bill to slash
federal subsidies that go to unwed mothers,
isn't he really pulling food from the mouth
of Baby Jesus?
It's all an act to steal money from the
gullibles, like a plumber's van with a Christian fish attached to the door.
Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson and Dr Laura
hate God's children more than almost anybody.
Ken Starr sang spiritual hymns at stoplights
when he was hunting Clinton, or Jesus, like a dog.
Bush quotes Jesus when he invades another
country - even putting the idea as "from God."
When has a Republican ever considered God
to be in all people?
Anyway, "Joan of Arcadia" (get it?) premiered on CBS Friday.
Like the song, God is walking around looking like a cute white
guy, a black cafeteria cook, or hardhat guy.
In the first show, God appreared 3-4 times and did his first miracle,
but they had to establish characters
and that got in the way so maybe next week will be better.
That girl that plays "Joan," can act, too.
On the other channel, I saw a few minutes of "Miss Match" with
Alicia Silverstone.
I watched a few minutes, and it was bad - but not as bad as last
Thursday's "Coupling."
Hey NBC, give me that 30 minutes for half the money.
BartCop TV would suck, but not as bad as "Coupling," plus you
save half the money.
The new show by the "CSI" guys, "Cold Case" seems pretty
good - we'll watch or tape that.
And the premier of "Friends" was funny - I'll hate to see them
go, but as George said, "All Things Must Pass.".

Excerpt:
RS: "You call the war in Iraq unjustified.
So why was the campaign you led in Kosovo justified?"
Clark: "Kosovo was OK because Yugoslav President
Slobodan Milosevic was engaged in ethnic cleansing
that was destabilizing the entire region.
By intervening, NATO could stop the killing. We tried every means
to resolve it, and we ended up using force
only as a last resort. But there was no imminent threat in Iraq.
If Saddam Hussein did all these bad things,
we should have indicted him for war crimes, held an international
tribunal and ordered him to surrender.
That's what we did with Milosevic. In Iraq, we just invaded a country
ten years after the crimes happened, in
violation of international law, without charging him with anything.
It just doesn't work that way."
On the domestic front as well, Clark's responses
show that he's learning how to flesh out his anti-Bush positions
with positive prescriptions, and to back
them up with sound reasoning that will appeal to the "average" voter.

Scary
Stuff
I think something very serious and very
scary needs to be addressed.
The B.F.E.E. has become much more
powerful than any entity in history.
They've stolen hundreds of billions
of dollars.
They gotten the legal power to murder
anyone they want.
They gotten away with their shadow government.
They have made the Constitution irrelevant.
They talked the Democrats into surrendering
everything to them.
They are accountable to nobody on
the planet.
They can do anything they want.
Witht the US military at their command,
nothing
can stop them.
I don't think they will ever give up absolute power.
Their lust and greed won't allow that power to be transfered
to Wesley Clark or Howard Dean.
They will say, "These are dangerous
times, and we must retain power for the safety of America."
They are truly unstoppable, and that scares me.
Do you think there's ANY chance
they will surrender that control in January 2005?
This is scary stuff.
They are NOT going to let the Democrats
have the power Bush now has.
They are stealing hundreds of billions
of dollars.
They will NOT let that Niagara Falls
of money to be shut off.
They will use Diebold, the press, their
private media monopoly and maybe even
use the military on us, but they are NOT
going to surrender absolute power.
Stop and think for a second;
No dictator in history has ever had as much power as Bush.
No dictator in history has ever truly had control over every
country on earth,
but this illegal gang of thugs has that power right now.
Do you really think they will surrender absolute power?
This volume is called Scary
stuff because I want people to think about that.
If
we proceed under the possibility that I'm correct - take the next step:
What actions will they take (or fail to take, as in 9-11) to
keep this power?
Will they arrange for another 9-11 to keep the populace in line?
If they order the military to protect Bush, even after he loses
the 2004 election?
Will the military obey their out-going Commander in Chief and
crush the uprising?
They have absolute power.
Do you think corrupt bastards will surrender absolute power?
That's a damn scary thought.

Hi Bart,
I have to agree with Rob who says to be

You seemed to have jumped on the Clark

My instincts alone tell me he's one of

He's a repug in dem's clothing and he's

Worst
Power Outage Since WWII Hits Italy
Click
Here
Excerpt:
A storm-tossed tree branch that hit Swiss
power lines helped trigger a massive blackout
in almost all of Italy on Sunday, trapping
thousands on trains and forcing the pope to use
a backup generator to proclaim his new
cardinals. The outage, blamed for three deaths,
underlined the dangers of Italy's reliance
on imported power.
Do me a favor - reread that top line in blue.
"A storm-tossed tree branch that hit Swiss power
lines helped trigger a massive blackout."
Oilman, please...
They waited until there was a good-sized storm heading their way,
then by simply
cross-circuiting to "B" instead of "A," they shut down all power
units in Italy.
If I had a science and technology point person, I'd ask him or
her to compile a list of blackouts
there have been around the globe since New York went black earlier
this year.
Didn't London have a blackout in the last two weeks?
Didn't Copenhagen or Stockholm have a recent blackout?
And now Italy?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, and NOT some global energy
takeover by the B.F.E.E.
I mean, if the entire planet suddenly needs a completely-linked
electrical infratsucture overhaul
would it surprise anybody that Bush and his pals are the owners
of the energy business?
I trust Halliburton, Bechtel and The Carlyle Group would have
just the right people,
the just the right tools and just the right expertise
for a job this big.
The only question is do we want the $400
billion "Band Aid on Cancer?"
Or do we want the $7
trillion "perma-fixed" grid, good until Bush leaves
office?
I'm sure Unka Dick could guide us in this matter...
CNN is playing a fun-to-watch clip of a soldier who came home
unannounced
