"I think some very good questions have been
raised in that regard. There are some very good arguments, and I think the American
people have not seen all of the evidence there." -- Debra Medina,
rethug running for Gov of Tejas, when asked by Glenn Beck
if the Bush bastards were responsible for 9-11 Link
"I know exactly who was responsible for 9-11
– Al Qaeda terrorists. To suggest otherwise is an affront to the men and women who
are sacrificing their lives to root out the terrorists in Afghanistan and around the globe. " -- Kay Bailey Hutchifelon,
also running for Gov of Tejas, Link
"Medina’s remarks were an insult to the thousands
of Americans who lost loved ones.” -- Tejas Gov Rick Perry,
Link
It is NOT an insult to question the Bush bastards about 9-11.
They did everything they could to de-rail the 9-11 Commission.
They even appointed Lee "WhiteWash" Hamilton to cover things
up and they got
worthless slugs like John Kerrey to ditto every lie the commission
came up with.
If the Bush bastards were innocent, why the cover-up?
Excerpt: David Broder, perhaps the biggest douche at the
Whore Post, had a devastatingly unremarkable assessment of
Sarah Palin the other day. Her speech at the
Tea Bagger convention in Nashville "showed off a public figure at
the top of her game - a politician who knows
who she is and how to sell herself." She used the televised occasion
to "display the full repertoire she possesses."
Palin is not only "the most visible Republican in the land," she has also
"locked herself firmly in the populist embrace"
and mastered "a pitch-perfect recital of the populist message that has
worked in campaigns past." Broder’s conclusion:
"The lady is good."
"I'm such a worthless
douche..."
Broder wasn’t analyzing Palin's positions or accusations,
or the truth or falsehood of her claims, or even the nature
of the emotions that she appeals to. He was reviewing
a performance and giving it the thumbs up, using the familiar
terminology of political journalism. This has
been so characteristic of the coverage of politics for so long that it
doesn't
seem in the least bit odd, and it’s hard to imagine
doing it any other way. A couple of weeks ago, the Times ran a piece
by its lead political reporter, Adam Nagourney,
about a Republican strategy session in Hawaii: "Here in Honolulu, the
strains within the party over conservative principles
versus political pragmatism played out in a sharp and public way,
especially as the party establishment struggled
to deal with the demands of the Tea Baggers."
The structure of the sentence, and of the article,
puts the emphasis entirely on tactics and performance. This kind of
prose goes down as easily and unnoticeably as
a glass of sparkling water, with no aftertaste. Readers interested in
politics drink quarts of it every day without
gaining weight. And Broder and Nagourney are at the top of their game.
The Washington Whore Post and David Douche Broder exist to excuse Republican
mistakes and crimes.
The same is true for the New York Whore Times and the networks, talk
radio and the cable bastards.
The Democrats (and the people) are not represented in the media and
that sucks.
This whole thing with Cheney basically admitting
he authorized torture reminds me of Iran/Contra
and how our whole concept of justice has been
eroded. I was just out of high school when Iran/Contra hit,
and although I was very politically naive then,
I remember at least being encouraged that Congress was
holding hearings and investigations, and for
a while there it seemed like the bastards might actually be held
accountable for their crimes.
But then reality set in, and although the Reagan/Bush
thugs were clearly guilty of numerous high crimes
they pretty much all got away scot-free. Now
most of them are back in positions of power and/or are
FAUX news paid propagandists. But hey, at least
we had hearings, right?
Nowadays we get nothing- big surprise. Not feeling
so naive anymore.
But keep swinging that hammer anyway!
Maybe someday someone in power will take a lesson
from you.

Herbert Herbert Bush was a Boy Scout compared
to his criminal thug of a son.
We don't know a lot of about Poppy's crimes but
he certainly didn't set up a system
where he could legally kidnap, toture and murder
anyone on the planet en masse.
No, it took Dim Son, the Evil Dick and the cowardly
Democrats to pull that off.
Excerpt: It's possible that Sarah Palin's best quality
is that she has none at all. She exists for her friends and enemies
as a fantasy figure. For the left, she is a harbinger
of the hard-right government takeover they fear is coming.
And for the right, she is the leader -- all instinct
and no sophistication -- that they knew would someday lead
America out of its current socialist wilderness.
The pity for them both is that in reality, not to mention the polls,
she sorely disappoints...
The lady from Alaska is a phony. She has
sold out for money, quitting office so that she could cash in.
She asserted her small-town bona fides, her antipathy
both to the establishment and the mainstream media
-- and then got herself a ghostwriter, a booking
agent and a (Fox News) network contract. She is rich, famous
for the metaphorical 15 minutes Andy Warhol allotted
us all and, elbows swinging, is forging her way to oblivion.
She was neither a threat (the left) nor an opportunity
(the right), but just a fantasy -- until the American people
turned the lights on.
A Palin presidency would be a Bush-sized disaster for America but it
sure would be
a never-ending gold mine for people who make their living mocking the
ridiculous.
Excerpt: Conservatives love to bash academia as little
more than an elitist welfare state, a plush cushion to soften
the landing for people who can’t cut it outside.
Tenured radicals and left-wing nuts don't want to work,
so they sit around sipping chardonnay and lounging
among dusty old volumes by Chairman Mao.
It’s easy to forget, then, that there is also
a right-wing academia, to which fallen conservative stars of various
sorts retire. A reminder came over the long weekend,
with news that former Grand Inquisitor -- ahem,
Special Prosecutor -- Ken Starr has taken a new
job as president of Baylor University.
Starr, who has been dean of Pepperdine University’s
law school since 2004, is a long-time star of the
right-wing legal firmament. He was appointed
to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals by Ronald Reagan,
and became solicitor general under Herbert Herbert
Bush. Baylor, where he’s now moving, is a very
conservative Baptist institution. (Rather ironic,
isn’t it, that its new president is possibly most famous
for authoring a quasi-pornographic legal brief?)
Ken Starr never had to pay a price for his crimes - spending $100M trying
to try to come up with
a crime they could poin on Clinton. Since Clinton committed no
crimes, Starr was unable to do so.
They're lucky the Democrats are too scared to invetigate the REAL criminals.

Training days in Whistler have been crash-filled.
A Romanian woman was briefly knocked unconscious
and at least four Americans
- Chris Mazdzer on Wednesday, Megan Sweeney on
Thursday and both Tony Benshoof
and Bengt Walden on Friday in the same training
session where Zoeggeler wrecked
- have had serious trouble just getting down
the track.
"I think they are pushing it a little too much,"
Australia's Hannah Campbell-Pegg said
Thursday night after she nearly lost control
in training. "To what extent are we just little
lemmings that they just throw down a track and
we're crash-test dummies? I mean, this is our lives."

Excerpt: The consensus of the Washington press corps,
following the abdication of Evan Bayh, (D-Quitter), displayed the unreality
of "objective" reporting -- and showed again
that the fruits of bipartisanship are bitter. Nearly every mainstream news
story
or analysis echoed Bayh's claim that he valiantly
represented the sensible center in a capital where the "extremes" dominate
both parties, preventing needed compromise and
frustrating his profound urge to "help people." In other words, the far-left
Democrats and the far-right Republicans, marching
lockstep against the middle, are the enemies of progress, decency and
the American way.
But is it true, as Bayh suggested, that Senate
Democrats have rejected the counsel of moderates and centrists with the
same partisan ferocity as the Republicans? No,
it is blatantly false --and journalists who have observed the politics
of the
Obama administration's first year ought to have
realized that instantly -- and said so.
Did the "strident ideology" of the left dominate
the crafting of the Senate healthcare reform? Not unless Sen. Max Baucus,
Bayh's fellow centrist and friend of insurance
lobbyists everywhere, is now to be considered a socialist. The White House
legislative operation, overseen by Rahm Emanuel,
a deep-dyed blue dog and Bayh's kindred spirit on the DLC, entrusted the
president's healthcare promises to Baucus. As
a result the public option was duly jettisoned, with the collaboration
of every
liberal and progressive in the Senate, down to
the only actual socialist, Vermont's Bernie Sanders. If that alone was
not
sufficiently "pragmatic," the Democratic leadership
then sold out to conservatives on reproductive rights, solely to ensure
that Ben Nelson (D-Backstabber) and Rep. Bart
Stupak would be happy. The entire healthcare reform effort by Democrats
in both houses was shaped by the imperative of
placating moderates, conservatives and any Republican who might sign on
(although none did).
Joe's kidding when he says the whore press should tell the truth.

"If I could create one job in the private sector
by helping to grow a business, that would be one more than Congress
has created in the last six months," -- Even Bayh, (D-Quitter) kicking his old
friends on his way out, Link
Excerpt: Sen. Kissyface nearly became the first person
in history to be the VP nominee for two different parties,
but it turns out, he claims one reason he embraced
McCain in 2008 is that no Democrats asked for his help...
Heilemann and Halperin write:
"New Hampshire is going to be everything for me,"
McCain whined. "And a lot of independents are going to
vote in the primary. I want to ask if you'd think
about giving me your support. If you can't, I'll understand.
You're in enough trouble with your party already,
but I know it would help me out a lot," McCain begged.
"Give me a couple of days to think it over," whore
Lieberman replied. "It's a big step, but you know how I
feel about you. We've been through a lot together
and particularly on the war."
Lieberman talked with his friends, family and
staff and one person told him he was crazy, but added that
McCain's campaign would not last very long so
it would be a short endorsement, according to the book.
And here's the kicker:
No Democratic candidate asked for Lieberman's
endorsement, not even his fellow Connecticut senator, Chris Dodd.
For all the distance between him and his party,
Lieberman still found that level of ostracism surprising - and painful,
very painful."
Number One, nobody asked you for help because
you're the Kiss of Death.
It would make as much sense to as Der MOnkey
Fuhrer for his endorsement.
Number Two, fuck you, Kissyface - I hope
the pain is long, deep and never stops.
Number Three, you're a traitor and everybody
hates a traitor.

Bart,
My theory? Bayh is "retiring" so he can
1) avoid the embarrassment of a possible defeat
in 2010,
2) start openly attacking Obama, and
3) oppose Obama in the 2012 primary.
If so, I hope he announces his intentions soon,
so maybe Obama will wake up.
It could serve as a reality check. Do you remember
the Leonard/Hearns title fight?
After 12 rounds of fighting Hearns' fight, Angelo
Dundee told Sugar Ray,
"You're blowing it, kid, you're blowing it!"
Leonard adjusted his style, overwhelmed Hearns
in the 13th, then knocked him out in the 14th.
Leonard was behind on all three judges cards
when Dundee got tough with him.
If we're lucky, Obama will wake up, stop playing
their game, and knock the GOP out.
But first he has to answer the bell.
Big Orange Jeff
I agree, but first we have to convince Obama to
throw some punches.
And no way Bayh will run because polls will tell
him he's almost as hated as Kissyface.
"For the most part all the people who tried
to blow airliners out of the sky pretty much look alike,

That was sarcasm.
Not at all, Bart; spending $1200 to make that
luge safe would have made it too slow
for the competitor to have a chance. He's
the one that adjusted it, designed it, etc.
He made sure it was as light as possible so it
could get enough speed.
And he's the one who was in control when it flew
off the course.

Note: Bayh sold out by becoming more like the GOP.
"Evan Bayh is nothing but a blow-dried pretty
boy, daddy-coddled, silver spoon fed, son of a bitch that I have grown to despise over the

seen Ted Kennedy, or Franklin Roosevelt leave the senate because congress was broken. They would
try to fix it, not run when the going gets tough." --

"I don't think there has been a time in modern

Excerpt: In a country where more than eight in 10 people
regard themselves as religious, it takes more than
a little guts to preach about a world without
God. But that's the message that is creeping across America,
spreading ripples of dissent in its wake.
From Tampa to Sacramento, billboards have been
cropping up with messages that run across the grain
of America's normally devout discourse. "Don't
believe in God? You're not alone!" were the first posters
to be put up. "Being a good person doesn't require
God," read another.
The billboards are the work of a national group
of nontheists called United Coalition
of Reason that seeks to encourage nonbelievers throughout
America by bringing them together.ow
Schools should teach that there's nothing wrong
with science and logic.
How can it possibly help people to be told, "You
can't make it on your own?"
Excerpt: "I was a big supporter of waterboarding,” Cheney
said on This Whore Sunday. He went on to explain that
Justice Department lawyers had been instructed
to write legal opinions to cover the use of this and other
torture techniques after the White
House had settled on them.
Cheney picks out the banks he wants to rob, then
orders the "justice" Department
to rule that bank robbery is perfectly legal
at certain times and in certain locations.
Section 2340A of the federal criminal code makes
it an offense to torture or to conspire to torture.
Violators are subject to jail terms or to death
in appropriate cases, as where death results from torture.
I believe the number of murdered Gitmo detainees
is between 100 and 200.
Prosecutors have argued that a criminal investigation
into torture undertaken with the direction of the
Bush White House would raise complex legal issues,
and proof would be difficult. But what about cases
in which an instigator openly and notoriously
brags about his role in torture? Cheney told Jonathan Karl
that he used his position within the National
Security Council to advocate for the use of waterboarding
and other torture techniques. Former CIA agent
John Kiriakou and others have confirmed that when
waterboarding was administered, it was only after
receiving NSC clearance.
Hence, Cheney was not speaking hypothetically
but admitting his involvement in the process
that led to decisions to waterboard in at least
three cases.
What prosecutor can look away when a perpetrator
mocks the law itself and revels in his role in violating it?
Democratic ones, that's who.
The GOP made blow jobs mpeachable, so why are
torture amd murder acceptable?
Such cases cry out for prosecution. Dick Cheney
wants
to be prosecuted.
And prosecutors should give him what he wants.
How did I get stuck in a party of bean-eating nancyboys?
Excerpt: I first heard the idea of John Cougar Mellencamp
running for the Senate in Indiana when The Nation
advocated this on MSNBC, and I wholeheartedly
agree. This is a truly inspired idea. John Mellencamp
would make an outstanding and even brilliant
United States senator and represents exactly the spirit and
soul the Democratic Party should stand for.
John Mellencamp is one of the great artists of
our age. And John Mellemcamp is one of the great advocates
of small-town America, of the kind of "square
deal" for Americans that Teddy Roosevelt once championed.
He is a voice for working people and a champion
of farmers who puts his talent, his body and his money
behind his words. Mellencamp has long been a
great champion of the Farm Aid cause and concerts,
along with the extraordinary leadership of his
friend and a truly great American, Willie Nelson.
Indiana has many fine Democrats who would make
good Senate candidates, but John Mellencamp
is unique, one of a kind, a voice for the people
who believes America needs a new brand of politics
and new kind of leadership in the Senate.v
I like the idea, too.
He doesn't have to worry about getting his name out there and if someone
asks him
if he qualified all he's gotta say is, "I'm
way smarter than Sarah Palin."
