Franken
fallout has GOP fuming
He made the whole GOP into rapist sympathizers
Excerpt:
The Republicans are steamed at Franken because
partisans on the left are using a measure he sponsored
to paint them as rapist sympathizers - and because
Franken isn’t doing much to stop them...
As a comedian, talk show host and best-selling
author, Franken showcased his ability to dress down Republicans
with devastating attacks. Since becoming a senator
in July, Franken has publicly tried to maintain a distance from
that image - and aides are quick to note that
Franken had nothing to do with coordinating the barrage of attacks
waged against the Republicans.
But some of his new Republican colleagues argue
that the amendment is being grossly mischaracterized - and has
spawned attacks like the satirical website RepublicansforRape.org
- and now question whether Franken is doing
a good job of separating his past from his current
line of work.
ha ha
Franken didn't make you sons of bitches look bad - you did it to yourself
when you sided with Halliburton over the women they drugged and raped.

Subject: The Truth about Obama's Afganistan Monologue
Obama is preempting Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown, and that just pisses me off.
But I can understand why he chose this night,
the night of the yearly Charlie Brown special, to pitch his war woo.
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown is the story of
a loser who, after being plucked from obscurity to lead the Christmas play,
seems incapable of getting the players to cooperate,
while allowing a crabby ball-snatching knowitall to undermine his authority.
Then, when he is sent on a diversionary mission
to obtain a Christmas tree, he pins his hopes on the sorriest, weakest
tree
on the lot, without even trying to negotiate
for a better one. The Republicans laugh him off the stage. Even his own
dog loses respect for him.
Finally, when all seems lost, Linus steps in with
his magic blanket and miraculously raises the tree from the grave,
turning it into a beautiful conifer decorated
with lights stolen from an award-winning dog house.
And that's how we're gonna achieve victory in
Afganistan,
by trusting in the national security blanket
of Jesus Van Pelt!

Rep. Hinchey: Bush ‘intentionally let Bin Laden get away’
Excerpt:
The Bush bastards permitted the world's most
notorious terrorist mastermind to escape because they
needed additional justification to invade Iraq,
according to a Democratic lawmaker from New York.
Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) leveled the allegation during an interview Monday afternoon.
"Look what happened with regard to our invasion
into Afghanistan, how we apparently intentionally
let bin Laden get away," he said. "How we intentionally
did not follow the Taliban and al-Qaeda as
they were escaping. That was done by the previous
administration because they knew very well that
if they would capture al-Qaeda, there would be
no justification for an invasion in Iraq."
"They deliberately let Osama bin Laden get away?" asked an incredulous David Shuster. "You really believe that?"
"Yes, I do," Hinchey replied. "There's no question
about that."
Damn, straight talking from a Democrat?.

Subject: Tiger's not in a box!
Hey Bart,
No search warrant. Charged with the Florida
equivalent of reckless driving. 4 points on his license and a $165.00
fine.
Investigation closed. Most likely reason
for the cops repeated follow up was a desire to meet Tiger and see the
house.
Cops are fans, too.
As for the window breakage, the Escalade auto
locks the doors when it reaches 7 mph. Simplest explanation is that
Elin saw TW unconscious, couldn’t get the door
open and grabbed the nearest object to break the glass to unlock the doors.
In their house, the nearest object is probably
a golf club. Based on my personal experiences with Elin, she is probably
not going to be the calmest person in a crisis.
She seems to be a bit of a drama queen about things.
This whole thing is a mountain out of mole hill.
As for the “affair” in Australia, Tiger had his
Mom with him at that tournament.
I doubt he was boffing a bimbo with her along
buying presents for the grandkids.
Unfortunately for TW, this happened on a slow
news day.
Bill in Dallas
If he's legally innocent, then he's innocent, but Tiger made a billion
dollars
by being Mr. Clean and being forced to confess to multiple affairs
doesn't help.
.
Refusing to talk to the police "because he wasn't legally required
to" and going into hiding
sullies his once-pristeen image and his reputation.

Subject: Tiger
Serena Williams threatened to ram a tennis ball
down the throat of a small defenseless middle aged line judge...
she got off with $90,000 fine....
no suspension... got to keep her doubles title trophy she won....
she is on a one year probation so that she will
be suspended if she does it again !!! lol
pathetic
before that, i would have said tiger would have
lost $$$ millions in endorsement deals....
after that i say it won't matter at all.
Cortegon
Amazingly, Tiger forgot which game he was playing.
Tiger's biggest asset was his public image and
when he played that "I don't have to tell the cops
how I got these injuries or why I passed out
in the street" card, he won that legal battle
but he lost the reputation that put a billion
dollars in his pocket.
Also, I heard that the National Enquirer has known
about Tiger's mistresses
for two years and they've been holding
this over his head all that time.
Were they blackmailing him?

Subject: Afghanistan
There is no exit strategy. If you
listen to what the prominent voices who favor our Afghanistan adventure
they all
have a little different reason why we are there,
beyond combating terrorism, and none of them are doable.
Afghanistan has never been a country as most people
understand a sovereign nation and will probably never be one
so the idea we can ‘build a nation’ is ridiculous,
expensive and fatal. Since there is no concrete reason why we are
there,
except perhaps for the pipelines for gas and
oil from the countries above Afghanistan, (there is a lot of it), to keep
that
major resource from the Chinese and Russians
and, of course, to make more obscene profits for Big Oil , it seems we
are wasting our lives and our money. That’s
inexcusable at best and could be our ultimate downfall.
Remember what happened to Russia after her Afghan
adventure?
The fact is the Bush regime did more than make
us universally hated, they blew 50 years of carefully crafted statesmanship
in what is becoming to be known (again) as the
grand game. America is naked to the world and it isn’t pretty.
It’s this that is the most crippling result to
the US interests world-wide.
Thanks to their greed and odd belief that the
US could dominate the world, the rest of us, including the new President,
are going to be laboring a very long time to
see if we can actually dig ourselves out of the gigantic hole these psychotics
dug.
I think Obama was forced into what he’s doing
because nobody knows quite what to do. Iran has nuclear capability,
Pakistan and India both have the bomb and Pakistan
could collapse. Then the crazies who don’t mind blowing
themselves up would have access to nuclear weapons.
I’d favor immediate withdrawal but my gut tells
me no matter what we do a world of hurt is heading our way, regardless.

Huckabee's
Willie Horton
He's proud of his deadly decision
"Huckabee
set me free and I killed 4 cops."
Excerpt:
Mike Huckabee needs to shut up, for his own good.
He cannot stop talking about the Maurice Clemmons case.
The more he does, the worse he sounds.
"If I had the exact same information in front
of me tonight that I did 9 years ago in a case exactly the same, I would
make the exact same decision," Huckabee told
WLFI-TV on Tuesday. He said the same thing on Hannity's show.
This statement is beyond ignorant. It reveals
a man who simply is unable to admit he was wrong.
Huckabee has accepted responsibility for granting
clemency to Maurice Clemmons, although he did not
in his initial statement. He also attaches
numerous excuses and points the blame elsewhere.
Who is Maurice Clemmons?
This will probably kill Huckabee's chances for the GOP nomination.
Oh, the Democrats would NEVER use it against him because listing
the facts isn't nice.
But the Rethugs in the primaries will call him "another
Michael Dukakis" who's soft on crime.

Subject: President Obama's War?
When did Afghanistan become Obama's war?
The way I remember it Bush started the war in
2002 back when nobody knew who Obama was.
Now it's Obama's war? Give me a break!
This war would have been over if Bush hadn't pulled
the troops out and sent them to Iraq to fight a useless war there.
This war is Bush's war, the Republican's war,
and the American people's war for being stupid enough to elect Bush in
the first place.
It's only Obama's war to the extent that Obama
has to clean up all the messes Bush left him, war, bailouts, deficit, and
unemployment.

Tiger apologizes for 'transgressions'
Excerpt:
Tiger Woods offered a "profound apology" to his
family and fans Wednesday as he was linked to a third reported mistress.
"I have let my family down and I regret those
transgressions with all of my heart," Woods wrote on his Web site.
"I have not been true to my values and the behavior
my family deserves."
Woods did not name any names, and he said he
was "far short of perfect" off the links. (
as if he's perfect on the links)
"I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family," he wrote in a plea for privacy.
"For all of those who have supported me over the
years, I offer my profound apology," he wrote.
Look like several women have come forward.
Someone said Tiger told a friend he'll have to
"pull
a Kobe"
and buy his wife a ring that costs as much as
a home.
It's also rumored Tiger said his wife "went ghetto" on him with that golf club..
Can a girl this white "go ghetto" on a Black man?
And that Uchitel girl from BCR 160 who
denied having sex with Eldrick?
Turns out Tiger paid for her ticket to Australia
- odd to do that and then not see her.
She's holding a press conference today to call
herself a liar.

Open letter
to Obama
by Michael Moore
Excerpt:
Dear President Obama,
Do you really want to be the new "war president"?
If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce
that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing,
the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple.
And with that you will do the worst possible
thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have
placed in you.
Your ppeech will turn a multitude of young people
who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics.
You will teach them what they've always heard
is true -- that all politicians are alike.
I simply can't believe you're about to do what
they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.

Dems rush to abandon Obama
Excerpt:
"I oppose sending 30,000 additional troops because
I am not persuaded that it is indispensable in our fight against Al Qaeda,"
Specter said in a statement. “It is unrealistic
to expect the United States to be out in 18 months so there is really no
exit strategy.
This venture is not worth so many American lives
or the billions it will add to our deficit."
There are others besides Specter, of course. Congress'
liberal wing, predictably, has come out to oppose the surge, but it's hardly
shocking to see opposition from card carrying
progressives like Sens. Russ Feingold and Bernie Sanders or Rep. Dennis
Kucinich,
or to hear that some anti-war members want a
vote on the whole thing, and soon. But it's not just them -- Obama's friends
are
distancing themselves, too.
Sen. Dick Durbin had plenty of reasons to come
out in support of Obama's decision and Durbin is a member of his party's
leadership.
But even he took a bit of a shot at the president
Tuesday night, echoing criticism that's been coming from the right lately
when he said,
"President Obama asked for time to make his decision
on a new policy in Afghanistan. I am going to take some time to think through
the proposal he presented tonight."
Other senior Democrats were similarly unwilling
to come out in favor of the plan to send 30,000 additional troops to the
war.
"For me it boils down to whether or not there
is a convincing answer to this question: What can realistically be achieved,
and is it worth
putting our soldiers' lives on the line, at a
million dollars a troop, as our economy continues to struggle here at home?"
Sen. Pat Leahy,
D-Vt., said. 'At this point I am not convinced
that the hole dug earlier by a thousand bad decisions can be paved over
at all'."

Subject: religion
Hey Bart,
Me again; your page today is just getting me going!
Your post about catholics is right on, they damned sure should
be stripped of their tax exempt status, just
like the Mormons here in Utah. If you want to sit in a cave or monastery
or mountaintop and think about Jeebus, then fine;
but if you want to interfere in politics then you should pay taxes.
I had to laugh at what you said about "don't you
want to sleep in on Sunday?"
When I was a kid my mother would drag me to the
southern baptist church to hear how I was going to HELL!
AND DAMNATION because, well, I never figured
that part out. And there was my dad, drinking coffee,
reading the paper, and smoking cigarettes.
"I Wanna stay home with dad!" was usually met with a slap and there I went.
Here's rdale's take on religion: it's all about
power and money, pandering to mankinds greatest fear: what happens when
you die.
Oog the Neanderthal figured out that if he told
Moog, his fellow cave-dweller, that he knew what happened when you died
and
therefore Moog should give Oog his woman and
the meat from the mammoth, it's never changed from that day to this.
There is absolutely no difference between a naked
savage dancing around a fire with a dead chicken
in each hand and the Pope in his Hitler Youth,
I mean his fancy Prada robes and expensive shoes.
Money and power, nothing else.

Subject: Democrats considering "nuclear option" to pass health care reform
Democrats frustrated with the Republicans filibustering
every bill are considering "going nuclear" on the filibuster rule.
The filibuster is neither law nor in the constitution
and is merely a Senate rule that can be changed.
In May of 2005 when the Republicans had power,
Frist and Cheney floated the idea called the "Nuclear
Option"
as a way of getting rid of the filibuster rule
and returning the Senate to majority rule. The mere treat of going nuclear
led to the "Gang of 14" senators who came together
to preserve the filibuster through a compromise.
Now it is the Democrats who are in charge and
some of them are now rethinking the wisdom of preserving this senate rule.
The mere threat of envoking it might lead to
a modification of the rule, perhaps lowering the threshold from 60 to 55
votes.
And if the Democrats go ahead it will be more
difficult for the Republicans to stop it because the Democrats have a far
larger
majority than the Republicans did in 2005.
