"Every day since I signed the reform law, there’s
been another poll or headline that said,
"Nation still divided on health care reform."
"Polls haven’t changed yet." Well, yeah. It just
happened last week! It’s only been a
week! Can you imagine if some of these reporters were
working on a farm? You’d planted some seeds
and they came out the next day and they looked.
"Nothing’s happened! There’s no crop! We're
gonna starve! Oh no! It’s a disaster!" It’s been
a week, folks. So before we find out if people
like health care reform, we should wait to see what
happens when we actually put it into place!
Just a thought."
-- Obama, setting FOX News straight,

A Method to GOP's Madness
Excerpt:
Washington’s conventional wisdom for explaining
the intensity of GOP obstructionism toward Obama
breaks down one of two ways: either it’s a philosophical
disagreement over the role of government or
a desperate need to stay in line with a radicalized
right-wing base.
But there is another way to view the GOP political
strategy, as neither principled nor reactive to the rantings
of Tea Partiers, Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
It is that the Republicans are following a playbook that has
evolved over more than four decades, to regain
power by sabotaging Democratic presidents.
In this analysis, the Republicans believe they
can reclaim the lucrative levers of national authority by making the
country as ungovernable as possible while a Democrat
is in the White House, essentially holding governance
hostage until they are restored to power. Then,
the Democrats are expected to behave as a docile opposition
“for the good of the country” (and usually do).
The “destroy Obama” game plan tracks most closely
with Newt Gingrich’s strategy for undermining Bill Clinton
16 years ago. But today’s strategy also traces
back to Nixon’s sabotage of LBJ's Vietnam peace talks in 1968
and Reagan’s October Surprise gambit against
Carter’s Iran hostage negotiations in 1980.
In all four cases – covering the last four Democratic
presidencies – the Republicans did not behave as a loyal
opposition but rather as a single-minded political
enemy that viewed the White House as its birthright and
Democratic control of the Executive Branch as
illegitimate.
And while the Rethugs were busy playing hardball, the Dem were trying to master Pattycake.
It's a wonder the Democratic Party still exists.

Ensign's
Blackmail Cover-up
Tom Coburnm helped orchestrate the crime
Excerpt:
Senator John Ensign sought financial backing
for a troubled Nevada energy company in 2008,
and at the same time he urged the company to
hire his mistress's husband, according to people involved in the matter.
At the request of the company, P2SA Equity, Mr.
Ensign had two senior aides contact one of the nation's largest
oil pipeline businesses, Kinder Morgan, about
forming a partnership, two executives associated with the project said.
Mr. Ensign's dealings with P2SA are at the center
of a federal criminal inquiry into his efforts to line up
lobbying work for Doug Hampton, a former top
aide whose wife Ensign has been banging on the side.
Investigators appear to be looking into whether
Mr. Ensign sought to ingratiate himself with P2SA so that he
could ease Mr. Hampton out of his office in Washington.
Former Capitol Hill staff members like Mr. Hampton
are barred from lobbying for a year after leaving
their jobs, and if Mr. Ensign knowingly helped him evade that
restriction, he could face ethics or criminal
charges.
No, that's not right.
In America, powerful Republicans don't do time
for serious crimes.
The only crimes worth investigating are Democratic
affairs.

LL Cool J to FOX: Blow me
Excerpt:
Originally, the star of "NCIS: Los Angeles" was
being promoted as a guest on Sarah Palin's new show,
"Real American Stories." However, he claims he
was never actually asked to be on the program.
This caused handjob Allahpundit to brag about
something that didn't happen:
"I can't wait to see Mr Liberal trade bars with the Queen Teabagger" -
my words.
That made LL Cool J Twitter, "I never talk to Sarah palib - ever."
So FOX, always the clueless, classless whores
that they are, replied with, "However, as it appears that
LL Cool J does not want to be associated with
our program, we are cutting his interview from the special
and wish him the best with his fledgling acting
career.”
ha ha
His "fledglin acting carrer?"
FOX has ONE show - American Idol - doing better than LL Cool
J's show, NCIS LA.
It's more like "fledgling network" because after
twenty full years,
FOX still only has TWO hours of original
programming a day.
Is it OK to use the word "cunty" when talking
about FOX Whore News?

"There is far too much hatred in America. That's
obvious. It comes from both sides.
The Michigan militia and the Westboro
Baptist Church are far-right nuts,
but there are just as many far-left
idiots doing vile things."
-- Bill O'Reilly
Link
O'Reilly proves it's easy to name the haters on the Right, I wonder why he didn't list the Left haters?
Who would he list? Code Pink? As violent haters? Moveon.org? As violent haters?
Sorry, Bill, they're all on your side and the reason is clear.
The haters have you and Pigboy and Beck and Palin to urge them
towards violence.
"You see, if you're gonna be violent,
if you're gonna commit crimes as protests, at least do it
because something real is occurring.
Like, you know, vast numbers of young Americans coming
home in body bags. Not because some
redneck jerk-off or some power-hungry bitch with Bump Ups
in her hair told you they can predict
the future. However, once again, the trap of moral equivalency
has been set. Using leftist violence
that occurred 40 years ago to excuse violence today is about as
bullshit an excuse as saying that it's
not so bad that you killed that hobo because Jeffrey Dahmer
used to f*ck the corpses of his victims."

No Lie Is
Too Low For The GOP
by Bill Berkowitz
Excerpt:
March 31st marked the fifth anniversary of the
death of Terri Schiavo. For that one month in 2005, the nation
was transfixed, as the cable television news
networks gathered en masse for a round-the-clock campout outside
Terri's hospice, the public was sucked in by
the portrayal of a defenseless victim about to have her feeding tubes pulled.
The real story of a family's struggle with end
of life decisions: Terri's husband Michael's efforts to facilitate her
recovery
since her collapse fifteen years earlier into
a permanent vegetative state, the bitter estrangement of her husband and
parents
through this exhausting process, and the ultimate,
wretching decision about what to do became the fodder of a fully-owned
conservative enterprise who framed the events
as "the struggle to keep Terri alive."...
"During the Schiavo controversy, the Religious
Right's operational theory was 'the ends justify the means' and 'any lie
is
acceptable if it helps us get what we want,'"
Boston said. "They bent the truth like taffy and then had the unmitigated
gall
to pretend to be operating from a superior ethical
stance. And when an autopsy later showed that Terri Schiavo's brain
had shrunken to half the normal size and there
never was hope for recovery, they simply lied about that as well.""
Substitute the Tea Party movement for the Religious
Right and, for anyone
that has followed the past year's debate over
health care reform it might be déjà vu.

One mistress got $10 million dollars...
Excerpt:
Tiger Woods' first mistress – the one who first
busted out – earned $10 million to shut her trap.
After Rachel Uchitel lawyered up with Gloria

shortly after the scandal broke, she abruptly
canceled – and now we know why.
Nice payday for Gloria Allred.

...while one got a Subway chicken wrap...
Excerpt:
Mindy Lawton told Vanity Fair she’d been a waitress
at the Perkins Restaurant near Eldrick's home.
One night, she got a call at the restaurant from
Eldrick and joined him at Orlando bar The Blue Martini.
Later that night, she followed him home.
“We ended up doing it right there” on his couch, she told Vanity Fair
Mindy said that their sexual relationship became
regular, though that was about all she got from him.
Once, she claims he bought her a sandwich from
Subway, but nothing more.
“No, just the sub,” she explained.
Damn, this girl; negotiates like Obama.
First she gave it up - then she got her chickem wrap.
...while Eldrick gambled away a fortune
Excerpt:
The magazine cites one source who said Woods
would have $150-thousand a hand
on the table when he played in the private VIP
casino at the MGM Grand.
There's nothing wrong with a little gambling,
but it's gotta hurt to watch him throw away $150K
on a poker hand and then he tells you you're
only worth a chicken wrap.
I used to have a boss with the same kind of values.
He'd bet maybe $30,000 per weekend on pro football
but when I asked for a raise,
he told me "Times
were tough, Bart" - and then he paid cash
for a new Lexus 450 SL

Papal ally
accused of 'ritual beatings'
Not a good week for the Vatican - nor was last week
Excerpt:
The child abuse scandal rocking the Catholic
Church widened yesterday as a leading German bishop
personally appointed by Pope Benedict was accused
of ritually beating and punching children at a
church-run home during the late 1970s and early
1980s.
Five former residents of the St Josef's home in
Bavaria submitted written statements claiming the Bishop
of Augsburg, Walter Mixa, a controversial conservative
churchman appointed by the Pope in 2005,
used to hit and degrade them during punishment
sessions at the home.
Bishop Mixa's diocese yesterday rejected the allegations
as "absurd, untrue
and obviously invented in order to defame the
bishop".
Why didn't Walter Mixa issue the denial?
The diocese has no idea if he beat kids when he was alone with them.
I witnessed some slightly less-than torture on several occasions growing
up Catholic.
It was understood they OWNED you when you were together.
Unlike public schools, it was understood that they were allowed to use
force on the kids.
George Carlin talked about nuns beating his hands with a metal ruler
- he wasn't kidding.

Vatican says "No" to Victims
Excerpt:
Pope Benny the rat (R-Enabler), accused by victims'
lawyers of being ultimately responsible for an alleged cover-up
of sexual abuse of children by priests, cannot
be called to testify at any trial because he has immunity as a head of
state,
a top Vatican legal official said on Thursday.
The interview was published as Pope Benedict led
Holy Thursday services in St Peter's Basilica and
Catholics marked the most solemn week of the
liturgical calendar, culminating on Sunday in Easter Day.
In the morning the pope blessed oils for Church
services during the year, and in the evening in the Rome basilica
he washed the feet of 12 priests to commemorate
Jesus' gesture of humility the night before he died.
But on the day Catholics commemorate Christ's
founding of the priesthood, the pope did not refer in any of his sermons
to the crisis of confidence sweeping the Church
as almost daily revelations surface of sexual abuse of children in the
past,
accompanied by allegations of a cover-up.
What a phoney this charlatan is.
He washes the feet of 12 priests to show what
a "humble, common man" he is, then he claims
"You can't get me for those ten thousand rapes
because I'm the Head of State."
