"McCain may still hear the applause of small
crowds - he has somehow inured himself
to the hypocrisy, and the tragedy, of a man
who considers himself the ultimate realist,
courting the votes of those who support the
government telling visitors to the Grand Canyon
that it was caused by the Great Flood.
That McCain is selling himself off to the irrational
right, parcel by parcel, like some
great landowner facing bankruptcy, seems to
be obvious to everybody but himself.

Operation:
Save Bush's Legacy
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
If press reports are correct - that George W.
Bush will approve a troop "surge" in Iraq of 17,000
to 20,000 soldiers - the follow-up question must
be whether the escalation will do anything but get
more Americans and Iraqis killed while only forestalling
the defeat of Bush's war policy.
Even top advocates for the "surge," such as retired
Army Gen. Jack Keane and neocon activist
Frederick W. Kagan, have argued that U.S. troop
levels must be increased by at least 30,000 for 18
months or more to bring security to Baghdad,
what they call a "precondition" for any successful outcome.
"Any other option is likely to fail," Keane and Kagan wrote in the WaPost on Dec. 27, 2006.
So, the more modest escalation of up to 20,000
soldiers would appear to represent what might
be called "Operation: Save Bush's Legacy," with
the goal of postponing the inevitable until 2009
when American defeat can be palmed off on a new
President.

Saddam -
terrorist or terrorized?
by Robert Scheer
Excerpt:
The hanging of Saddam was an act of barbarism
that makes a mockery of Bush's claim
that it was "an important milestone on Iraq's
course to becoming a democracy."
Instead, the rushed, illegal and unruly execution
of a former U.S. ally after his conviction in
a kangaroo court blurred the line between terrorist
and terrorized as effectively as Hussein's
own evil propaganda ever did.
It would have been so easy to hand Saddam over to some rational, intelligent
adult, but nooo.
Bush wanted his final hours to be a nightmare of sectarian hell just
to punish Saddam.
Think - what if some superpower invaded backwards America, pulled the
Little Dictator from his
throne and handed him over to some unruly mob from Code
Pink to be executed. And as they were
putting the noose around his neck, the hall was chanting, "Clinton,
Clinton, Clinton."
Would the world see that as anything but barbaric murder?

Rudy loses
secret '08 plan book
Giant screw-up from a little man
Excerpt:
It's clearly laid out in 140 pages: The top-secret
plan for Rudy's bid for the White House.
The plan has budgets, schedules and fund-raising
info that will underpin Rudy's '08 campaign,
as well as his aides' worries that personal and
political baggage could scuttle his run.
One page concern potentially "insurmountable"
personal and political vulnerabilities.
On the same page is a list of his central problems:
his private sector business; disgraced former aide
Bernard Kerik; his third wife, Judith Nathan
Giuliani; "social issues," on which is he is more liberal
than most Republicans, and his former wife Donna
Hanover. No mention of the first wife.
This is potentially disastrous blunder for Giuliani
in the early stages of his campaign.
No, this is Karl Rove's new job.
They intentionally mailed that "explosive secret book" to the
NY Daily Whore as a trial balloon
to gauge reaction to see if Rudy can overcome his myriad of personal
troubles - but the whore media
isn't saying much about it so the plan is failing.

Pelosi: 3,000 dead with Bush's failed policy
Excerpt:
The deaths of 3,000 U.S. soldiers in Iraq is
a sad reminder of the consequences of Bush's failed policy,"
Pelosi stated. "With December being the deadliest
month of the year for our troops in Iraq, it has never
been more clear that the situation there continues
to erode."
We urgently need an effective strategy that will
bring peace to the region and allow the responsible
redeployment of U.S. forces," Pelosi's statement
concluded.
So, will you vote to spend more money on Bush's bloody quagmire? If
you want to cover your ass
and get immunized from the "She hates our troops" charge, why not call
for a day of protest on a Saturday
and if hundreds of thousands of people fill the streets in our major
cities - use that for cover.
But don't TALK against the war and then VOTE to finance it.

America's Torture Island
Excerpt:
In October 2002, a Marine captain allegedly squatted
over a copy of the Koran (as if to defecate
on it) during questioning of a Muslim prisoner,
who was "incensed" by the tactic, according to an FBI agent.
In another incident that month, interrogators
wrapped a bearded prisoner's head in duct tape "because he
would not stop quoting the Koran," according
to an FBI agent, the documents show. The agent, whose
account was corroborated by a colleague, said
that a civilian contractor laughed about the treatment and
was eager to show it off."
It took over four years for this news to get out.
For all we know, they're pulling out fingernails with pliers.
Will Pelosi vote to spend more money on Bush's private torture island?.
Please - don't TALK against Torture Island and then VOTE to finance

Hey Bart,
I thought it was now known as the Bush-McCain-Lieberman
War.
Or am I confused again?
Last week you asked why their guys die old and rich and our guys die with a bullet in their heads.
Let's not forget those of our guys who died in
plane crashes, or those who died of character assassination,
or those who had their livelihood or their marriages
or had their careers ruined because they either crossed
some Republican or got between his greedy ass
and a $5 bill.

McCain is turning out to be the craziest whore in the GOP.
The nomination is his for the taking, but he's too busy telling the
American voter to "fuck off"
with 20,000 more troops to the bloody quagmire because he's so far
up Der Monkey's ass
that he's rubberstamping every bad idea that comes from the Little

Musclehead was released from a hospital Saturday,
four days after undergoing surgery
to repair a broken leg suffered while skiing.
He expects to [return to work] with crutches.
It doesn't add up.

I obtained an actual full-legnth x-ray of Musclehead before the broken thigh bone.
See the broken part that I added?
IF
his femur is actually broken and repaired, what is supporting the weight
of the leg?
His leg must weigh forty pounds, and if that's pulling on the biggest
broken in his body,
which happens to be "broke" that's gotts hurt like crazy.
Plus, how can the bone heal if it's constantly being jostled about by
his pelvis?
That's why they out you in a cast - to lock the bones together so they
can't move.

"This idea of surging troops, escalating the

what I would call now the McCain doctrine
is dead wrong."
-- John Edwards

If that wasn't so bartcopian, I'd call that a stroke of genius!
Did you see what he did?
He put the entire "surge" idea on McCain's back - that's perfecto!
Bush is a lame (and dead) duck, so no sense in putting this fiasco on
him.
But McCain has a future that Edwards has now yoked to the "surge."
Is John Edwards reading bartcop.com?
(He advertised with us - he knows where to spend his campaign dollars.
Thanks, John)
If the surge goes great and we win the war with no more dead, it's President
McCain,
but I'll bet my last bottle of Chinaco that's NOT going
to happen and Edwards knows it.
Edwards is a genius!
Iraq is NOT going to end in victory so Edwards has made this McCain's
War!
The McCain Doctrine is what got those last 2,500 young men killed
for no goddamn reason.
Edwards is a genius!
It's not America's surge or Bush's surge - it's McCain's surge and McCain is in trouble.

BBC: Bush
to reveal troop surge plan
Comment by Keith Olbermann
Excerpt:
If in your presence an individual tried to sacrifice
an American serviceman or woman,
would you intervene? Would you at least
protest?
What if he had already sacrificed 3,003 of them?
What if he had already sacrificed 3,003 of them
- and was then to announce
his intention to sacrifice hundreds, maybe thousands,
more?
The BBC reports that Bush's "new Iraq strategy,"
will be about troop increases and "sacrifice."
The president has delayed, dawdled and deferred
for the month since the release of the Iraq Study Group.
He has seemingly heard out everybody, and listened
to none of them.
This has now become "human sacrifice."
And it must stop.

I mean, do you really like rape rooms, torture chambers and mass graves?

Where Gerald
Ford went wrong
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Ford has been showered with near universal praise
for helping to bring the nation together
in the wake of Nixon's Watergate scandal and
the U.S. military defeat in Vietnam.
But this praise focuses on the first months of
his 2 ½-year presidency. By late 1975 and
early 1976, Ford began shifting direction when
he found himself threatened by Ronald
Reagan's insurgent campaign for the Republican
nomination.
To stave off Reagan's challenge from the Right,
Ford made a series of critical concessions,
such as backpedaling on CIA reforms, forsaking
détente, and compromising the integrity
of the CIA's analytical division to pacify hard-line
Cold Warriors.
With George H.W. Bush as the new CIA director
in 1976, Ford joined in blocking the
release of a congressional report on past CIA
abuses and went along with Bush's cover-up
of new CIA scandals, including a Chilean-sponsored
terrorist attack in Washington, D.C.,
that killed a Chilean dissident and an American
woman.

Pat Robertson:
More proof that I'm insane
He's hearing God's voice in his head again
Excerpt:
Pat Robertson says God has told him that a US
terrorist attack would cause a "mass killing" late in 2007.
"I'm not necessarily saying it's going to be
nuclear," he said on his "700 Club" money snatch.
"The Lord didn't say nuclear. But I do believe
it will be something like that."
God also said, he claims, that major cities and
possibly millions of people will be affected by the attack.
In 2005, Robertson predicted that Bush would
have victory after victory in his second term.
In May, he said God told him that a tsunami might
crash into America's coastline in 2006.
Recently, he predicted Rosie O'Donnell would
marry a swarthy Iranian man.
Why does God keep lying to Pat Robertson?
Or is God a prankster, just having a little fun?

President Sociopath
Excerpt:
There are many explanations for Dick Cheney's
character.
He can be understood through characteristics
like greed, evil, and cunning.
But Bush is the more psychologically complicated
one. Bush's behavior is far more
understandable when seen through the filter of
psychiatric analysis than through the
analysis of foreign policy or political perspective.
Bush turns everybody who disagrees with him into
his father. It doesn't matter whether
it's actually the concrete representation of
his father, like Baker, or the voters who vote
against staying in Iraq. We have become his father.
We are the people he is now defying.
He will turn anybody who disagrees with him,
into a father figure who he'd have to defy.

Brit Hume

Hey, at least she's not a teenage boy...
Hume-erous
rumors about Lieboy
Excerpt:
For months, a rumor has been circulating among
TV news insiders that Brit Hume, Fox Whore News's
senior whore now that Tony Snow left, has been
sexually harrassing a younger (female) colleague.
His victim is Megyn Kendall, a "general-assignment
correspondent" with the network since 2004.
The whispers are so loud that Hume and Kendall
have denied everything to curious colleagues.
They hire babes like that and call them "general-assignment
correspondents?"
Sounds like she accompanies Mr Hume on out-of-town trips, to help him
with
"general-assignment correspondent-type stuff,"
is that right Brit?
But, she's a woman and not a teenage buy - dammit.
