"Novak is somewhere on the record saying no
one would ever trust him again if he
cooperated with the special prosecutor to
save his neck. Of course he did. Given how
much trouble the Times has enjoyed because
of not getting to the bottom of the behavior
of their reporter, Judy Miller, now might
be a good time for the Post to come clean about
that liar, Bob Novak. Because Fitzgerald is
going to issue indictments instead of a final
report, we may never have a full rendering
of Novak's role. I can certainly live with that
trade-off but still, shame on the Post (and
CNN) for what it has allowed Novak to get away
with and if they allow him to continue in
place, double shame."

On Syria,
the NYT Still Doesn't Get It
by Robert Parry as seen on consortiumnews.com
Excerpt:
It's finally dawning on the New York Times how
thoroughly it was spun on the fictions about
Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, but the "newspaper
of record" is showing the same credulity
about the emerging Syrian crisis.
"Some deeply troubling facts about the murder
of Rafik Hariri, Lebanon's former prime minister,
have now been established by a tough and meticulous
United Nations investigation," the Times
wrote in an Oct. 25 editorial demanding punishment
for top Syrian and Lebanese officials
supposedly implicated by the report.
But the problem with the Times editorial is that
the report by German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis
is anything but "meticulous," reading more like
a compilation of circumstantial evidence and
conspiracy theories than a dispassionate pursuit
of the evidence. [See Consortiumnews.com's
"The
Dangerously Incomplete Hariri Report."]

Bush caves
on Miers
What a thing to do to a friend
Excerpt:
Under withering attack from conservatives while
democrats slept, Bush ended his push to put
loyalist Harriet Miers on the Supreme Court Thursday
and promised another unqualified replacement.
Democrats meekly accused him of bowing to the
"radical right wing of the Republican Party."
The White House forced Miers to withdraw because
his right-wing said she wasn't Nazi enough
and Democrats had little incentive to help the
nominee or the embattled GOP president.
The withdrawal stunned non-readers of bartcop.com
on a day when the capital was awaiting
bad news for President Katrina on another front
— the possible indictments of Libby and Rove.
Earlier in the week, the U.S. military death
toll in Iraq hit 2,000
So - what now for Harriett?
She goes back to worshipping Bush as his personal valet?
Subject: All I want for Fitzmas

Blame
Florida, Not FEMA
Monkey's brother says "The blame is
all mine"
Excerpt:
Gov. Jeb Bush took the blame Wednesday for frustrating
delays at supply centers
helping victims of Hurricane Wilma, saying criticism
of FEMA was misdirected.
Many Floridians were still struggling to find
food, water, ice and gas three days after Wilma,
waiting in line for hours — sometimes in vain.
Miami-Dade's mayor called the distribution
system "flawed" and said at least one relief
site of 11 in his county ran out of supplies.
Frustration with Florida's relief effort flared
Tuesday, when trucks carrying the first wave of relief
— food, ice and water — either arrived much later
than local officials expected or didn't show up at all.
.
Can't these Bush bastards do anything effectively
besides steal money?
When they ask Bush, "What happened to the missing
$11 trillion from the Treasury," Bush
says,"9-11."
implying that those missing trillions went to shoring up our disaster
response capability - and looks what happens.
The $11 trillion is missing AND we can't truck bottles
of water to Florida or Louisiana?
Subject: No Heaven, no Jesus, no Hell
Bart,
Yep, Jesus was a fictional character in a Roman
satire called the New Testament.
Actually, when you read the 'War of the Jews'
by Flavius Josephus alongside the New Testament,
the plot lines match, and you get the jokes.
ha ha
Seriously, you should read 'Caesar's
Messiah' by Joseph Atwill.
I guarantee it will surprise you.
Yep, and there was no Judas, except that there
was a Jesus, Judas, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
all of them members of the Maccabee family.
The Maccabees were leaders of the Jewish Rebellion.
It's a long, fascinating story. Remember
I told you about it.
Nelson
Dick at
the Heart of Darkness
by the She-Thing at the NYWTimes
Excerpt:
After W. was elected, he sometimes gave visitors
a tour of the love alcove off the Oval Office
where Bill trysted with Monica - the notorious
spot where his predecessor had dishonored the White House.
If W. wants to show people now where the White
House has been dishonored in far more astounding and
deadly ways, he'll have to haul them around every
nook and cranny of his vice president's office, then go
across the river for a walk of shame through
the Rummy empire at the Pentagon.
The shocking thing about the trellis of revelations
showing Dick Cheney, the self-styled Mr. Strong America,
as the central figure in dark conspiracies to
juice up a case for war and demonize those who tried to tell the
public the truth is how un-shocking it all is.
It's exactly what we thought was going on, but
we never thought we'd actually hear the lurid details:
Cheney and Rummy, the two old compadres from
the Nixon and Ford days, in a cabal running the country
and the world into the ground, driven by their
poisonous obsession with Iraq, while Junior is out of the loop,
playing in the gym or on his mountain bike.
Subject: President on drugs?
Bart - this is unbelievable...
I just finished watching Bush do a live (?) speech
at the Economic Club in Washington DC...
You HAVE to find a clip of this speech!!!
As a former counsellor involved in various drug
programs, I have been trained in the exterior indications
and manifestations of someone who is chemically
addicted...you have to watch this!...throughout the entire speech,
Bush could not control his lower jaw...it kept
moving back and forth...this is the most CLASSIC and unmistakeable
sign of someone doing coke...he absolutely couldn't
stop...it was amazing...I would bet that he is using BIG TIME!
You might want to put this out there and see what other experts have to say.
Missed you at 9/24 in DC but your signs were everywhere!
Sandy P
Sandy, President Katrina's going thru a tough time.
All his life, they told him he was the "Golden Boy" who could do no
wrong.
When he sobered up, he didn't notice that he was always the
dumbest slug in the room.
He thinks God sobered him up so he could murder non-Saudi Arabs - it's
not his fault.
Damien never got the love of a male-female parent household.
Quotes
"I think the paper (NYWTimes) has taken a terrible
hit. I think it is shocking
that this woman who has been a known identified
land mine for a long time seems
to have guaranteed loyalty to Cheney more
than to The New York Times."

David, if you read bartcop.com you wouldn't be so
shocked.
The Whore Times has been loyal to the GOP since at least 1991.
Sheehan:
Oppose Clinton if She Backs War
This might work out perfectly...
Excerpt:
Cindy Sheehan urged foes of the war to thwart
Hillary's political aspirations unless she
declares that she opposes the conflict.
I believe that any candidate who supports the
war should not receive our support," Sheehan said Tuesday.
"It doesn't matter if they're Senator Clinton
or whoever."
Voters who see Hillary as "too leftist" could see this and possibly
change their minds.
I just hope Cindy doesn't force Hillary off her timimg.
Every day, every dead soldier report makes it easier to oppose Bush's
failed quagmire in Iraq.
All Hillary has to say is, "I made a mistake
when I believed President Katrina."

White House
scrambling to spin Leak news
Frog march, frog march, frog march, frog march...
Excerpt:
The prosecutor hasn't announced any indictments
- yet - but President Katrina's aides and their allies
in Congress are working on strategies to counter
the blow if White House officials are accused of crimes.
The plan: Keep the problem at arm's length, let
allies outside the White House do the talking,
and try to change the subject to something —
anything — else. (Perhaps a terror
alert?)
The White House can't attack Fitzgerald because
he's seen as a non-partisan, straight shooter.
Instead, expect Bush to unveil a flurry of proposals
because he knows his media will blanket the news
with trivial matters while the White House reels
from the waves of felonies washing over them.
Frog march, frog march, frog march, frog march...
Musclehead to execute Nobel nominee
Excerpt:
A US judge signed a death warrant for a former
street gangster and convicted killer
who went on to be nominated for a Nobel Peace
Prize for his efforts in tackling youth violence.
"Tookie" Williams, who co-founded LA's Crips gang,
was convicted in 1981 of killing four people.
The Supreme Court's decision earlier this month
cleared the way for Williams's execution - unless
Gov. Musclehead intervenes. No condemned murderer
has been granted clemency in California since 1967.
Subject: Poppy Bush going senile
George HW Bush came to the University of Wyoming
campus yesterday, as did Cheney,
for a money raising event. Former Senator
Alan Simpson is a big coordinator of the UW
fundraising and has had Cheney here before and
this time got Poppy Bush to come.
They had a public discussion that was basically
them talking about their past together.
No big deal, really, just a fluffy way to generate
donations. He even came for free, I think.
Anyway, as usual, Simpson was his joking laid
back self. It's easy to see why people here like him.
Poppy spent most of the first twenty minutes
whining about losing in 92. He talked a bit in the
beginning about "people ask me what it's like
to have your son be president."
It's stuff we've heard him say before about how
any parent would be proud and yada yada.
Then they went into their reminiscing bit and
what not.
As they were wrapping up, Poppy says "I'm going
to answer a question you didn't ask me."
And he starts out with "People ask me what
it's like to have your son be president…"
Ummm...gee Poppy, maybe he didn't ask that because
you already forced that into the conversation.
Lots of whispers in the crowd. He's 81,
so I'll give him a pass, but I thought you'd like to hear
that the leader of the BFEE is on his way down.
Anyway, cheers, and keep on hammering.

Subject: Al Qaeda standing down
Bart, you wrote:
> BTW, if they can steal a cement truck, fill
it with explosives and crash it thru barriers in Iraq,
> why can't they do that in America?
> BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN ORDERED NOT TO ATTACK THE US!
> I wonder who gave that order?
That implies alot, Bart. It implies that Al Queda
must be acting on orders from the U.S. government,
meaning that the 9-11 attacks came about on our
orders as well.
Not necessarily. It's possible Bush
got word to Osama,
"If you agree not to attack our homeland again
you have my word we will not come after you."
Does that also mean that in the eight years between
Twin Tower attacks when there were plenty of truck
bombings in the Middle East but no attacks in
America that the U.S. government ordered them not to attack us?
No. I think they had 1,000 suicide bombings in
Iraq in September.
Those thousand attack could've been fifty each
in our twenty biggest American cities,
but they chose Mossoul, Tikrit, Baghdad, Fallujah
etc and that makes no sense.
Why attack the Tikrit sheriff, kill six Iraqis
and get a mention on Page 22A when the same sacrificed life
could mean weeks or months of worldwide headlines
if it was a school in Houston, instead?.
From the handjobs' point of view, if you're gonna
die, why die so cheap?
Or does it mean that they have no interest in
small-scale attacks on U.S. soil, preferring instead massive,
dramatic completely devastating attacks but can't
do it as easily since we're on full alert now (and they're
on the run) and such intricate plans are harder
to carry out now?
JLave
I don't buy the "no interest" in small-scale attacks.
Bombing American schools, theaters and restaurants would create total
terror in America.
Have they gone soft?
I say no.
Are they low on willing-to-die recruits?
Hardly.
Is it too difficult to get inside America?
Please - they probably have hundreds here already.
Why do they prefer to terrorize Mossoul, Dahouk
and Basra instead of LA, Chicago and Seattle?

What's a Little Lying Between Friends?
Excerpt:
"Some perjury technicality"?
Did Kay Bailey Hutchison really say that?
She must have. It was on "Meet the Press."
Is this the Republican strategy for dealing with
any CIA leak indictments?
Saying no real crimes were committed, just a
teensy weensy bit of perjury?
It is true that prosecutors who can't prove the
original crime often wind up bringing perjury
and obstruction charges. But lying to investigators,
or to a federal grand jury, strikes at the
heart of the law-enforcement process. This happens
to be the message that GOPers pounded
over and over again when Clinton dissembled over
Monica, so surely they take it seriously.
Or is that only when a Democrat is president?
Hutchison likened the senior administration officials
who might or might not be indicted to
Martha Stewart, who was only charged with a cover-up
(lying about insider trading is okay
as long as you're not convicted of insider trading?
Well, Martha did get two TV shows,
even though one is tanking). The Texas senator
also complained about "sort of a gotcha mentality
in this country," which again, try as I might,
I can't remember being a significant Republican
complaint during the prosecutions of the Clinton
years.
Kay Bailey Hutchifelon Flashback from Volume 88
Excerpt:
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchifelon, (R-Bonehead) came to the ER with lower
abdominal pain.
During the exam, the doctor asked her if she
was still sexually active.
Mrs. Hutchifelon vehemently denied being sexually
active.
"I'll have you know I'm a Republican, Sir," she barked.
The doctor convinced her to submit to a pregnancy
test.
It came back positive. The doctor confronted
her.
"The results of your pregnancy test came back
positive," he said.
Are you sure you're not sexually active?"
Hutchifelon replied, "No, sir, I just lay there
like a cadaver."

TV Stuff
A couple of weeks ago, C.S.I. did their "Michael Hutchense" episode.
Catch up:
Michael Hutchence sang for INXS.
It could be said that INXS was the
hottest rock band in the world around 1985/86.
It could also be said that U2 took
their title, (pronounced 'tuke' ) but maybe that's sorta objective...
When C.S.I. did their "Michael Hutchense" episode,
it had glaring plot holes,
so I went to the C.S.I. newsgroup where C.S.I.
fans agther and asked this:
He (the Hutchence character) is banging the blonde
for 2 hours with the burglar hiding behind the curtain.
He kicks the blonde out of bed - then the burglar
leaves 15 minutes later.
Are they saying he kicked her out of bed, then
went to sleep, (allowing the burglar to rob him)
then woke up later to masturbate?
Did he fight with the burglar or not?
And why kick a beautiful blonde out of bed so
you can masturbate?
Who fights with a burglar - then masturbates?
Before you flip out - C.S.I. is
America's most-watched show, so this is
a topic for discussion.
And believe it or not - on a newsgroup bulletin
board, that's not an abby normal post.
In
the show, the rock star beds the cute groupie,
throws her out of bed hours later,
goes to sleep,
while the burglar conveniently robs him,
then wakes up and masturbates,
with a noose around his neck,
and dies from his mistake.
...and I never got a single reply to a very obvious question.
I like C.S.I.
just fine, but if they're going to call themselves "America's best show,"
they shouldn't have script holes big enough for
Cheney to drive a tanker thru.
Jolly Green
Giant Dead at 80
He stood for green beans and goodness
Excerpt:
The Jolly Green Giant, who extolled vegetables
to generations of TV watchers, has died. He was 80.
"Green" was an entertainer and singer for nearly
six decades. But his voice rang through millions of
households when he sang the simple refrain, "Ho,
Ho, Ho," in an ad jingle for Green Giant foods.
"His was the most consistent and most frequent
voice of the Jolly Green Giant over the years,
the one consumers are going to recognize," said
Tara Johnson, a small green Giant offspring.
Subject: 2000 died for Bush's lies
On the eve of criminal indictments against top
Bush administrations officials America has now lost
2000 of our military in Iraq. They all died because
Bush lied to America fabricating evidence to trick us
into an unjust war. We are losing this war and
perhaps rightfully so because, like Vietnam, we are on
the wrong side of history.
If Bush lied and the prosecutor can prove it,
he should be put on trial for murder and treason.
The way it looks to me is that the Bush administration
knowingly lied sending thousands of people to their deaths.
This strikes at the very heart and soul of who
we are as a country and what we stands for.
Are we going to face reality as a nation and
do the right thing or are we going to continue to believe our own lies?

Subject: Derailed
I just did a survey at a local movie theater where
they had me
watch a short clip for a movie called SAW II.
They asked me all kinds of questions about horror
movies but what I found most interesting
was that the survey didn't really seem to be
about SAW, even though they told me it was.
They wanted to know if I knew who Clive Owen
was and if I liked Jennifer Aniston.
They wanted to know my thoughts on horror films
and whether or not I would see a thriller
if an actor I liked was in it. They asked me
to name 3 of my favorite television shows.
They also showed me a short clip and asked me
to let them know what images, if any, I found disturbing.
By the end it seemed pretty obvious that they
were doing some type of market research regarding Derailed.

Excerpt:
Ninety percent of adult Americans professed a

More interesting, half believe in ghosts, nearly

Two-thirds believe in the devil and hell (but
