Thompson
courts his base
by Richard Fricker
Excerpt:
Timothy Griffin, the Karl Rove protégé
at the center of the federal prosecutor scandal, is negotiating
for a senior position on Fred Thompson's campaign,
another sign that the actor and former senator
is positioning himself as the reddest of red-meat
candidates appealing to the right-wing base.
A litmus test among devoted followers of George
W. Bush remains an instinctive rejection of all scandals
considered important by liberals, from the deceptive
intelligence behind the Iraq War to the torture of
terror suspects to the exposure of CIA officer
Valerie Plame to the politicization of the U.S. Attorneys.
If the liberals think it's a scandal, Bush's followers
know the talking points from Fox News,
Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing media outlets
explaining why it isn't.
This could be trouble for us.
If Thompson becomes the darling of the BFEE, he'll have those stolen
billions working for him
because a Demo president and Demo congress could mean investigations
for all the Bush crimes.
Now that they've raped Iraq and stolen the US Treasury, they've got
to cover their tracks.
Putin 1 - Halliburton 0
Excerpt:
Vladimir Putin must be good at chess. At the
G8 summit on Thursday, Putin diffused a potential new
Cold War
by suggesting that the US Ballistic Missile Defence
(BMD) system would be acceptable to Moscow if it were
built
by Russians and located in Azerbaijan. This was political genius.
The whole world watched Putin
come out of the summit looking magnanimous and
compromising. He appeared to show the kind of leadership
that is necessary to deal with the major problems
of our time. In reality, Putin wiped the floor with Bush
while giving the finger to the US Military Industrial
complex.
In case you missed it, here is the back story....
Subject: the GOP's front runner
This is my first email to bartcop even though I have been reading for a couple of years. Great site.
It seems to me unless Giuliani made some sort
of a deal to keep quiet about 9-11 with a promise
of the presidency, I don't see any other way
that this "man" is in any way competent to be our next president.
I know our morals have slipped off of the
radar as far as Bush and Co. but, come-on,
even the moral base of Republicans is going to
be swayed by him?
This smells like a great grand set-up of the first order and the sooner this word gets out, and spread, the better.
As I said, I have been reading you a while and
I know what is being said now on your post
as well as others about 9-11 that was not being
said previously.
With his amoral credentials, I say the fix is
in.
Keep up the good work,
Mary
It will be interesting to watch the GOP sell their
soul for power.
Will they vote for the baby-killing cross-dresser
to remain in the White House?
Will they elect a gay-loving gun grabber - just
to maintain control?
Will the NRA roll over and accept Rudy?
Or will Rudy flip-flop on guns, too?
Quotes
"Karl Rove promised to transform the American
political scene for a generation.
The latest poll contains some shockers.
Rove's magic worked - for the Democrats.
54% of all Americans now call themselves "Democrats,"
against 36% "Republicans."
The Democrats have a powerful ally and his
name is Karl Rove."
--Scott Horton, harpers.org
Condi spews on 2 troops in Iraq
Excerpt:
While on a surprise visit to Iraq, Condi Rice
sat down with troops to have lunch and was handed a MRE
by a troop sitting next to her. With a surprised
look on her face, she inquired about what had happened to
the lunch tat she had brought with her which
reportedly was specially prepared by the White House Chef.
"Oh my god" Sleazy exclaimed as she tore open
the Beef Mac pack. Plastic spoon in hand, she scooped out
the contents and took a bite. She gagged, then
swallowed, then vomitted on the troop sitting next to her.
Quickly standing she apologized, then turned
and once again vomitted on another troop.
Quotes
"So (Friday was) a big news day: The immigration
bill collapses in the Senate. The new Iraq war czar
admits that the military is as quagmired as
ever. Rep. William Jefferson pleads not guilty to bribery.
But don't worry about that. In fact, stop
everything you are doing and turn on the television. Paris Hilton
is about to do a perp-drive back to the courthouse...The
news is so big that CNN International, the serious
show on CNN, interrupted its programming for
a live shot of nothing happening outside Hilton's home.
"It just doesn't get any better than this,"
said CNN International correspondent Silbila Vargas."

Subject: BCR Show 119
Bart, just got done listening to show 119.
A little harsh on The Sopranos. Some writer
in USA Today saw it my way which went something like:
"Tony survived because, as stupid as he was,
those around him were a whole lot stupider."
I think you were imaginining that Tony was supposed
to be smart, like in "The Godfather."
No, I think his crew were a lot more akin to
Jimmy Breslin's incomparably funny "Gang That Couldn't
Shoot Straight". Both Chase's and and Jimmy's
guys seem a lot closer to the real characters I have
known and worked with. Stupid but dangerous.
Now. That "moongrabber" metaphor you came
up with was brilliant, and brilliantly executed.
You had me going "right on, mother-effer!" the
whole time.
Kathy Griffin's one funny lady, I agree.
All in all, good show.
Keep up the good work and I might try to find
another bottle of Chinaco for you.

Quotes
"Last night, the 10 Republican candidates had
their third presidential debate.
They said there is nothing that they would
not do to win and fight this war [on screen:
GOPers unanimously opposing openly gay soldiers].
... Apparently, the only thing worse
for these candidates than another terrorist
attack would be a gay hero stopping it. ...
I don't want to say anything, but there are
10 candidates on that stage and the law
of averages says one of these guys is a little
...Barney in the Franks."

Bart, long time no read. Nice to see things haven't

Authentic? Never Mind
Excerpt:
Consider the case of Fred Thompson. He spent
18 years working as a highly paid lobbyist, wore
well-tailored suits and drove a black Lincoln
Continental. When he ran for the Senate, however,
his campaign reinvented him as a good old boy:
it leased a used red pickup truck for him to drive,
dressed up in jeans and a work shirt, with a
can of Red Man chewing tobacco on the front seat.
But Mr. Thompson's strength, says Lanny Davis in The Hill, is that he's "authentic."
(Lanny Davis, always wanting to be fair with the Fascist bastards)
Oh, and as a candidate George W. Bush was praised
as being more authentic than Al Gore.
As late as November 2005, MSNBC's chief political
correspondent declared that Mr. Bush's
authenticity was his remaining source of strength.
But now The A.P. says that Mr. Bush's lack
of credibility is the reason his would-be successors
need to seem, yes, authentic.

So with the terrorists just waiting for a good

Helen
I had to think about this one, but you may not like the answer.
I think we'll see the real Hillary after she takes the oath.
Until then, she knows she's the most scritunized woman on the planet
now that the Paris Hilton threat has been thrown behind bars.
She's got to be super-careful about every word that leaves her mouth.
She's also reaching out to the other side, ("My
religious faith...") to get elected.
She's smart enough to know Bart's Law #1
is true.
No other Democrat is in her position, so you have half a point there.
Dennis Miller tells the truth about Bush
Bush's credibility
Excerpt:
Bush waxed eloquent about democracy in Prague's
majestic Czernin Palace last week, pledging to the
assembled dissidents from 17 countries that the
United States "will never excuse your oppressors" and,
"We will always stand for your freedom."
It was the centerpiece speech of his European tour. But Bush's
scorecard shows him striking out, according to
analysts and activists who originally endorsed his efforts.
Democracy regression is visible from Chavez's
Venezuela, a country that was the first democracy in Latin
America, to Russia, where the Soviet demise triggered
political changes worldwide 15 years ago.
Cannibals On The Right
Excerpt:
Peggy Noonan wrote that "This White House thinks
its base is stupid."
Sen. Lindsey Graham went in for a hot wing of Right. "We're gonna tell the bigots to shut up."
Rush Limbaugh already tired of "carrying water" for the Pubs, said it's gotten "rough defending the President."
Noonan again: "The great shortcoming of this White
House is simple wisdom."
Keeping us Scared
Excerpt:
H. L. Mencken said, "The whole aim of practical
politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence
clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it
with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
The latest alleged evil plot "busted" by the FBI
was announced to great fanfare this past weekend:
Crazed towelheads were going to blow up JFK Airport
and half of New York and New Jersey as well.
Whew! Thank goodness the G-men are looking out
for us!
Or are they? The NYWT reports that the suspects
were "longer on evil intent than on operational capability."
In other words, they wanted to wreak havoc with
jet fuel but probably couldn't even light a gas grill.

Subject: ...at what point?
Bart, at what point do you stop voting Democratic?
Good question - I can think of two answers:
When voting
for them doesn't slow down the Fascist stampede
When my
vote can make an impact for a better alternative.
I'm certainly not going to
vote for Nader and have those murdering GOP thugs
grab the White House and congress
and the judges and the military by 5,000 votes.
When the only difference between the Ds and Rs
is whether they lock suspected political
criminals in a dark cell for 30 years (D) or
immediately execute them (R), will you still vote
for the Ds? This is where we're heading as both
parties keep lurching to the right.
If we elect a Democrat and give him/her a filibuster-proof
congress, I think the 2009
America will look a lot better than the dark,
bloody Amerikka of the Bush Error.
The country will conitnue moving to the right
as long as the thugs want to win more than we do.
I will further ask -- why should I vote for someone
I don't support, when doing so will simply
perpetuate the policies that are killing millions
per year (toxins in our air, water, homes and food)
and give aid and comfort to those who are destroying
the capacity of this planet to support life?
I think you just said there's no difference between,
say, Al Gore and Der Fascist Monkey.
You can't really think that - did someone
brainwash you? :)
The invisible cloud kingdom is filled with people
who believe that voting for a Democratic
Congress and a Democratic President will end
the war for control over middle eastern oil.
- Erik,
We don't need their stinking oil.
I say we tell the Arabs to eat and drink and drive their oil - and
good luck with that sand, too.
You've heard "Necessity is the Mother of Invention?"
If gas went to $10 a gallon, we'd turn Green in 5 years.
The problem is, every time gas shoots up, people sell their SUVs and
buy a Honda.
Then gas gets cheap sop they sell the Honda and buy an SUV.
Once we tell the Arabs, "Suck on that," we can drill in Oklahoma and
Texas until we get
convert over to electric cars. Electric cars (golf carts) work
just fine for short trips.
Once there are 30M electric cars on the road, they'll be battery exhange
station every
twenty miles on the interstate and our gasoline problems are over.
Let's get rid of the Oil Administration
According to http://www.lesjones.com/posts/002732.shtml
when Clinton took office gas was $1.05
When Clinton left office gas was $1.45
That's an increase of 5 cents a year.
Today in Los Angeles, gas is $3.45
That's an increase of 33 cents a year and it's
going nowhere but up from there.

As far as politics are concerned, the greater
majority of the Christian right are Southern Baptists,
and a bigger pack of rabid God-loons you'll never
find. They believe in the literate truth of the Bible,
that there can be no error in the Bible, and
that if you find an error, the fault is yours, not the Bible's.

Subject: McCain Quote on Clinton's War
Bart, John McCain may not have called Kosovo
"Clinton's war,"
but just about every other Republican did. My
favorite is Senator Lugar of Indiana,
who said, "This is President Clinton's war, and
when he falls flat on his face, that's his problem."

How does Bush sleep?
Excerpt:
What a hideous combination of conceits Bush has.
He has the ego that drives him to want to be the top man.
He has the arrogance to think that he his qualified.
But he has the laziness that makes him not want to actually do the job.
He has the insecurity that makes him want to
cover up his faults. He has the smallness of character that will not concede
his weaknesses and seek out help. He has the
hubris to think that he could cover up all this, run the world into the
ground
and think that people won't notice. How has the
world fallen into the grasp of this tiny, tiny man?
George W. Bush is the perfect storm of character
flaws.
Not only does he bring all of these horrible
traits together at once, but he does at the worst possible time in the
worst
possible position. The president of the United
States of America has to be the most competent person on earth.
And somehow the exact opposite has snuck in to
that role.
Let's pick the most competent person next time
for this position.

Subject: Hillary
Hi Bart,
The same idiotic Repugs who impeached Bill are
now using the same tactic against Hillary.
They said they hated Bill because he can't keep
his hands off of women.
BS. They hate him because he's Bill Clinton...and
likewise...they hate Hillary for being Hillary.
I know this makes no sense. Their irrational hatred
of the Clintons makes no sense.
I've not seen one viable argument as to why Hillary
should not be president.
I hear vague crap like "she's power hungry..."cold
and calculating"...and their favorite,
"she voted for the war and won't apologize."
I think it all comes down to people having issues
with a woman as president.
Scratch them deep enough and you'll find they
think she should be home baking cookies.
If Hillary can get the job done and America back
on track...she'll have my vote every time.

I think you nailed it exactly.
Some people make up their mind, facts be damned, and they can't argue

Our favorite
murderer
He means Tony Soprano, not Bush
Excerpt:
I'm bummed for a lot of reasons about the end
of "The Sopranos." I'll miss Tony's invincible life force,
and Meadow's fight to make a clean life, and
Paulie's utter lack of self-insight, and Dr. Melfi's half-sexy,
half-unnerving voice. I'll miss the Bada Bing
and Satriale's and that great opening sequence, the drive through
stratified class layers until we arrive at Tony's
vulgar McMansion. I'll even miss poor little A.J., who recently
discovered the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But mostly, I'll miss the show's absolute and perverse amorality.
In the age of Bush, how am I going to survive
without my weekly double shot of ethical ambiguity?"
