Quote of the Day "Being president is fun because I can work

Quotes
"About a year-and-a-half ago, people in the
intelligence community came and said-guys like Alamoudi
and Sami al-Arian and other terrorists
weren't being touched because they'd been ordered not to investigate
the cases, not to prosecute them, because
there were being funded by the Saudis and a political decision was
being made at the highest levels, don't
do anything that would embarrass the Saudi government....
But, who was it that fixed the cases?
How could these guys operate for more than a decade immune from prosecution?
Grover Norquist. Newt Gingrich's guy,
best friend to Karl Rove, and apparently Norquist was able to fix things.

I'm so old, I remember when treason was a crime, but that was
before
Clinton's zipper showed us what true crime is,
so we have to take this, right?

Excerpt:
In a daring strike, anti-American forces
unleashed a barrage of rockets Sunday against the Al Rasheed Hotel,
a symbol of the U.S. presence, where visiting
Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz was staying.
Wolfowitz escaped, but a U.S. soldier was
killed and 15 people were wounded.
The hotel's concrete face was left pockmarked
with a holes and shattered windows in two dozen rooms.
The attackers had boldly driven to the
edge of a park just 500 yards southwest of the hotel, towing what
looked like a portable, two-wheeled generator,
Iraqi police said. They quickly fled, and rockets suddenly
ignited within the trailer, apparently
on a timer, flashing toward the nearby hotel.

No audience
No moderator
No limits on any goddamn thing
None of this "ten

This isn't some Harvard debating class - this
is the future of our country.
Demand a man-to-man debate without
limits or safety nets or reinforcements for the pinhead
Turn the cameras on, introduce
them and everything/everyone else get the hell out of the way.
If Bush can't hold his own in a debate, then let the country find out.
Subject: Avacor
Hi Bart~
Why would anyone use AVACOR anyway?
http://www.berkeleywellness.com/html/ds/dsAvacor.php
"The Better Business Bureau has alerted
the FTC about the unsubstantiated claims
made in Avacor's ads. By the time the
FTC, and possibly the FDA, cracks down on Avacor,
consumers will have lost millions of dollars.
The product will then disappear, probably showing
up a year later with a different name.
There are already copycat products on the market,
also containing unknown quantities of
minoxidil and herbs."

Why
U.S. Intelligence Failed
by Robert Perry at consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
Some key officials in George W. Bush's
administration - from Wolfowitz to Cheney - have long been
part of this trend toward seeing intelligence
as an ideological weapon, rather than a way to inform a full debate.
Other figures in Bush's circle of advisers,
including his father, the former president and CIA director, have
played perhaps even more central roles
in this transformation. [More on this below.]
For his part, the younger George Bush has
shown little but disdain for any information that puts his policies
or "gut" judgments in a negative light.
In that sense, Bush's thin skin toward contradiction can't be separated
from the White House campaign, beginning
in July, to discredit retired Ambassador Joseph Wilson for publicly
debunking the Bush administration's claim
that Iraq had tried to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger. That
retaliation included the exposure of Wilson's
wife as an undercover CIA officer, an act that is now under
FBI investigation as a possible felony.
Everything Perry writes is really good - you should read the whole article.

Family Says Army Shortchanging Former POW
Excerpt:
The father of former prisoner of war Shoshana
Johnson on Friday accused the Army of shortchanging
his daughter of disability benefits after
she was offered a smaller paycheck than fellow POW Jessica Lynch.
Family members confirmed that Lynch is receiving
an 80 percent disability.
Johnson, a specialist who has been offered
30 percent, Claude Johnson said.
Army spokesman Maj. Steve Stover said Shoshana
Johnson's payment can be appealed.
Stover said the two cases are different
and race is not an issue.
Military officials said Lynch was hurt after
her Humvee utility vehicle was hit by a RPG and crashed.
She suffered multiple broken bones and
other injuries and it was four months before she could walk again.
Shoshana Johnson was shot in both ankles
and was held by Iraqi captors for 22 days. She still periodically
uses a walking cast, has a hard time staying
on her feet for any period of time and is not sleeping well, her father
said.
Racism or just two different medical conditions?
It's my guess the military is trying to
screw everybody, regardless of race.
Thanks to Bush, America is bankrupt so
we're all fighting for whatever scraps are left..
Quotes
"Bush believes that the media are filtering
the news from Iraq rather than reporting it. He believes that they
are being unfair and detrimental to
the goal of a properly informed public. He is not happy about it.
As a result,
the president has decided that news
crews will no longer be allowed on military bases where they might take
photographs of the coffins of American
soldiers killed in action. It is an ill-advised step. It is one which
will likely
hurt the president's image more than
it will help his message about the progress being made in Iraq." "

2000 Flashback
Bush
deals with drunken driving arrest
Excerpt:
Bush said he regretted the 1976 arrest
and guilty plea for DWI, but insisted
that the revelation would do little to
change voters' minds about him,
"I have been very candid about my past. I've said
I've made mistakes in the past.
People know that. They've thought about
that. They're making their minds up now.
I do find it interesting that it's come
out four or five days before the election, " Bush said.
Hey Moron, if you had been candid about your past, nobody could
ambush you with the truth.
And if you're so candid, why don't we know how many felony convictions
you have?
Why don't we know the reason you had to do community service?
Why did you have to bury your governor papers and your Daddy's
presidential papers?
What's in there that the voters won't like?
Quotes
"The problem with the Americans in Iraq is
that "they are like the mascara man
who says he will make you look more
beautiful and then pokes out your eyes."
--Sheik Ghassi, leader
of a mosque in a working-class district of Syria
Attribution
Hey Ghassi, Bush has been making America "look more beautiful" for three years.
Excerpt:
The United States and three Southeast Asian
countries pledged on Friday to work together
to search for remains of more than 1,800
missing American servicemen from the Vietnam War.
It was the first time senior officials
from the United States, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos had met
to share information in the hunt for remains
of Vietnam MIAs since the war ended in 1975.
Isn't that grand?
Twenty nine years later, someone remembers to search for
the remains of 1800 innocent, drafted
men?
(Do today's kids know what the word "drafted" meant in the sixties
and early seventies?)
Meanwhile, today it's stealing rifles off dead Iraqi's to have
a weapon to defend yourself.
Paying for your own hospital meals while recovering from losing
a limb in service to your country.
Year-long tours where going home to your wife and kids is repeatedly
promised, then revoked.
Having the generals and the President smiling on TV with a Nancy
Grace guarantee that "morale is
high.".
Why do today's heroes turn their lives over to the US military knowing this is how they might be treated?
I disagree with my good friend Joe Conason.
In his last column, Joe wrote:
"In America, the sins of the fathers are not
held against the children, nor should they be.
Although the Bushes have too often
lowered
themselves into the gutter for political gain,
that doesn't give license to libels
against them."
Out of respect for him, I didn't want to step on his column, but consider this:
Didn't Bush the smarter ask the State Department to investigate
Clinton's mom?
The way I remember it (Danger, Will Robinson!) she went to Europe
or somewhere and Bush had the State
Department check her passport to see if she slipped some super-secret
missle launch codes to her Russian comrades.
Bill caught them, called them on it and shamed Bush down another
2-3 points in the polls.
"The sins of the fathers are not held against the children, nor should they be," Joe said.
Maybe not, but why has Ted Kennedy been made the goat by talk
radio for more than a decade because
of the sins of his father? You can't turn on an AM radio
and not hear Joe, Jack and Bobby Kennedy pounded
again and again. They use that shit against us, but we
shouldn't fire back?
That's where I disagree with Joe.
Joe's maybe a better man than I, maybe a bigger man, as
Clinton proved to be,
but why should we silently endure the Kennedy attacks and say,
"We're better than that?"
In my opinion, that's the Mondale/Dukakis formula for certain
failure.
Clinton didn't take any crap in 1992 or 1996 and llok what happened.
Add to that, John, Bobby, Teddy and Bill always worked for the
little guy who had nothing.
Civil rights, minimum wage, health care and raising money for
battered women's shelters, stuff like that.
Meanwhile, President Pinhead is working his heart out to give
Bill Gates another tax cut, being sure GE gets
another $5 billion dollar tax rebate, between f-ing rounds
of golf and month-long vacations in Crawford, Texas.
Whereas Clinton never sent a man into battle who didn't come home,
Bush's American soldier death list
surpasses the number of men he had killed as governor of Texas.
We're the honest, disadvantaged, aggrieved party and we can't
afford to give the GOP any points on decency grounds
since they'd never give us any, not even to little Chelsea Clinton
who was f-ing twelve when Rush verbally assaulted her.
Why should we give them ANY consideration for decency's sake when
they're fighting for the super-rich,
BIG tobacco, trillion dollar corporations, the BIG-ass polluters
and the everybody-needs-more-guns NRA?
If we take the high road and lose, we get more of what
Bush has given us. If we use the same tactics
they use against us, maybe America will get lucky
enough to trade President Murderer for another Clinton.

Oklahoma loses Miranda?
Saw it Myself
I just saw on the Friday night CBS local
news that Miranda is no longer in effect.
You know the phrase,
"If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you?"
Nuh - UH, not in Oklahoma.
In Oklahoma, if you have $500 (cash, credit
card? promissory note?) you get a lawyer.
Asked to explain, the state spokesman said,
"We just don't have the money."
"These niggers - ha ha - think they'll get - ha ha - a free lawyer under your administration?"

when a male grabbed her wrist and waist, spun her around,
grabbed her breast and then attempted
to remove her coat. The victim struck the face of the suspect,
who returned the blow and fled the area,
the advisory said.
How could anyone get the idea that it's
OK to sneak up on women and grope them?

9/11 Commission Could Subpoena Oval Office Files
Excerpt:
The chairman of the federal commission
investigating the 9-11 attacks says that the White House is
continuing to withhold several highly classified
intelligence documents from the panel and that he is
prepared to subpoena the documents if they
are not turned over within weeks.
I doubt the truth will ever be known about
9-11. The Crooked Whore Court will protect their boy
George by bending or breaking the law just
like they bent and broke the law to allow Paula Jones's
ridiculous, no-foundation lawsuit to force
our last elected president into a sham, partisan impeachment.
Sidebar:
We still don't know who shot JFK in 1963.
We still don't know who shot RFK in 1968.
We still don't know who shot MLK in 1968.
Why should 9-11 be any different?
Remember what Jack Ruby said on tape from
1964, as heard on BartCop radio:
"The truth will never be known because
the people behind this, and they are very high up
in America's government, have
too much to lose, they will never let the truth be known."
..
The very idea that Clinton was impeached
for telling white lies about sex, while the Unelected Murderer
is untouchable as he presides over the
biggest crime spree in history should make every American sick.
How many tens of thousands will die for Bush's quest for stolen oil?

"Mister Carville! Sir! Please, I need to

which was already in final boarding call,
but he took a moment to shake hands and listen to me
blubber about what a great fan I am.
Unfortunately I had already packed my camera away
and there was no time for a picture anyway.
I came away from DC having met Alan Dershowitz,
gone drinking with Michael Newdow,
hugged Helen Thomas, and shook hands with
James Carville. My life is complete.

Universal
Health Care
by Nick Dupree
Excerpt:
Our health care system is in crisis. Americans
who have critical medical needs that are not covered by their
private health insurance, or the 41.2 million
that do not have health insurance at all, must rely on the woefully
inadequate coverage provided by the government
- Medicaid and Medicare - a Swiss cheese safety net.
In a speech last year, Senator Ted Kennedy
said lack of health care is now the seventh leading cause of death
in America. With the treatment people receive
typically depending on what kind of things state Medicaids,
insurance companies and HMOs will pay for
within our profit-driven system, we, the wealthiest, most advanced
nation on Earth, are only able to provide
a third-world level of care for those who cannot pay, if that. This,
unfortunately, is what has happened since
life-saving services and procedures, and thus life itself, became
another commodity to be bought and sold
to those in need at whatever price the market will bear.
Joan Report
Last week, God told Joan to build a boat.
It didn't work, but it brought her brother out of his wheelchair
shell and that made the whole story
Last Friday, God told Joan to have a Garage Sale. God knows
everything. He knew that holding
a Garage Sale would force Joan's family to address some paintings
that Mom painted before she met Dad.
The paintings were theraputic workings of Mom to "reconcile"
the extra-violent rape she survived as a teenager.
Having Joan hold the Garage Sale, God enabled Joan's Mom to get
passed her blockage about her rape and
pass on whatever necessary lessons to her just-starting-to-date
daughter Joan needed to learn.
It's a good show.
Sidebar:
Entertainment Weekly suggests you switch
to CNN during the "Joan" commercials to see the horrors
the rest of the world is facing while God's
busy spending all that time helping a teenager and her family.

Excerpt:
A Black Hawk helicopter was shot
down Saturday near Tikrit, a center of Iraq's anti-U.S. insurgency.
The U.S. command in Baghdad said five soldiers
were injured.
It was the second time a U.S. helicopter
has been downed by hostile fire since Bush declared an end
to major combat in Iraq on May 1. The last
copter to be shot down was in June.
"A helicopter did go down," Capt. Jefferson
Wolfe, a spokesman for the 4th Infantry Division, said.
"We can confirm it. It was a Black Hawk.
We are investigating."
I wonder if Hollywood will make a big-budget
movie about what an idiot Bush was to get 350
brave men killed - no, wait - they

Accusations Vs. Schwarzenegger Linger
Excerpt:
Arnold calls the whole thing ``old news,''
but the sexual misconduct allegations leveled
against him in the closing days of his
campaign are not going away.
His behavior has become a regular joke on
late-night TV and in the comics pages,
with ``Doonesbury'' this week depicting
him as a giant groping hand.
Letterman has entertained his ``Late Night''
audience with clips of old movies showing him
grabbing one woman's buttocks and urging
another to seductively lick a carrot stick.
Dave has (rightfully) been relentless on
Arnold lately.
Remember those still pics we had of Arnold
smoking a big doobie?
Dave ran the movie clip of him doing that.
Remember the grab-ass Playboy pictures
from Rio?
Dave ran the movie clip of that, too.
But this carrot was probably the worst.
Arnold put a small carrot stick in this
girl's mouth, asked her to close her lips around it,
then he moved the carrot in and out of
her mouth in a possibly-suggestive manner - ha
ha
It was awful!
Dave calls the skit, "Meet
the Governor."
