Rove and Toe Sucker off the air for now
Link
The post-election soul searching going on inside the Republican Party is taking place inside
Fox News as well. Fox News chief Roger Ailes has been taking steps since Thurston's drubbing
to reposition Fox in the post-election media environment and in some cases, changing the characters.
Ailes has issued a new directive to his staff: He wants the faces associated with the election off the air
— for now. For Karl Rove and Dick Morris — the two biggest assholes aligned with Fox’s anti-Obama
campaign — Ailes’s orders mean new rules. Ailes has sent out orders mandating that producers must
get permission before booking Rove or Morris.
Inside Fox News, Morris’s Romney boosterism and reality-denying predictions became a punch line.
Actually, Dick Morris has been a punchline everywhere since forever but FOX always loved him.
Now he and Turd Blossom have become such laughstocks, even FOX won't have them on.

US Senator Ashley Judd?
Judd vs Mitch the Bitch?
Link
It’s true: Kentucky Democrats are talking up actress/activist Ashley Judd as a possible
candidate for Senate in 2014. Ms. Judd, an eighth-generation Kentuckian, was a delegate
to the Demo Convention and is a big fan of Obama, so this isn't a completely wacky idea.
So far, Judd isn’t saying “yes” to a run, but she isn’t saying “no,” either.
If she runs, her GOP opponent would be Mitch the Bitch McConnell. Democrats would love
to knock off The Bitch since he said the most important thing the GOP could achieve would be
“for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
Would Judd have a chance against such an experienced and hard-nosed politician?
Well, she’d certainly attract a lot of attention. As a genuine star
she’d have little trouble raising money from Hollywood liberals.
Dear Santa, this is what I want for next Christmas.

Subject: It's Hostage Time Again
It's Christmas time and the Republicans are holding us hostage again.
Both parties agree that taxes should stay low for the bottom 98% of Americans,
but rather than pass that tax cut the Republicans are holding us hostage in order to
get a tax cut for Wall Street.
Wall Street are the ones who created this recession and they aren't job creators.
Wall Street is little more than the worlds largest casino where the super rich go to
gamble and the rest of us have to cover their losses when they blow it.
Taxing the rich is good for the economy and is good for America.
I'm tired of being a Republican hostage and we won this election
and we're going to get our way.

Armey Dislocates his
Teabag
Was he fired or did he quit?
Link
In an email, senior Teabagger Dick Armey indicated that he wants nothing to do with FreedomWorks anymore.
He asked that all user names, passwords, and security-related data created in his name be emailed to him by the
close of business on December 4. He even insisted that FreedomWorks—"effective immediately"—was "prohibited"
from using a booklet he authored.
Was this a reaction to the recent election? "Obviously I was not happy with the election results," he says.
"We might've gotten better results if we had gone in a different direction. But it isn't that I got my nose
out of line because we should've done better."
Armey declined to specify his disagreements with FreedomWorks. Asked if they were ideological or tactical, he replies,
"They were matters of principle. It's how you do business as opposed to what you do."
I would love to ask Mr. Armey what he meant by "it's how you do business as opposed to what you do."
Is he suggesting FreedomWorks engaged in activities or tactics counter to his particular ethical framework (and I use the term loosely).
When will they get the message?
America doesn't want Teabaggers in power.

The dead have risen, killing anyone they find. The living know what's caused it-a vicious contagion.
But too late to stop it. For now, what remains of society are busy shutting down nuclear reactors

There's little time for anything else.
Failed comic book artist Rick Nuttman and his family have joined
thousands of other desperate people in trying to find a haven from the madness.

Anderson Cooper Loses Eyesight
36 houes later, he could see again
Cooper, with hot 58-year old co-host Christie Brinkley
Link
A Anderson Cooper is opening up about a health scare last week that caused him
to go blind for 36 hours while he was shooting on location out of the country.
On today's episode of his daytime talk show Anderson Live, Cooper said he woke up
in the middle of the night with burning eyes and later discovered that he'd temporarily
gone blind while shooting a story for the CBS News show 60 Minutes in Portugal.
He said he was on a boat for a few hours on an overcast day and he later discovered that
and the sun exposure caused his eye problems. "I wake up in the middle of the night and it
feels like my eyes are on fire -- my eyeballs -- and I think, oh maybe I have sand in my eyes
or something," he explained. "I douse my eyes with water. Anyway, it turns out I have
sunburned my eyeballs and I go blind."
We need Cooper in top shape to handle Kathy Griffin on New Years Eve.

Ailes Wanted President Petraeus
Link
In spring 2011, FOX boss Roger Ailes asked a Fox News analyst headed to Afghanistan
to pass on his thoughts to Petraeus. Petraeus, Ailes advised, should turn down Obama's
offer to be CIA director and accept nothing less than the chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs,
the top military post. If Obama did not offer the Joint Chiefs post, Petraeus should resign
from the military and run for president, Ailes suggested.
Ailes's message was delivered to Petraeus by Kathleen T. McFarland, a Fox News tramp.
McFarland also said that Ailes - who produced Pigboy's "White Huse Dog" attack on Clinton's
twelve year old daughter Chelsea - might resign as head of Fox to run a Petraeus presidential
campaign. McFarland and Petraeus spoke about the possibility that Rupert Murdoch would
"bankroll" the campaign.
"Rupert's after me as well," Petraeus told McFarland.
If all that happened and Petraeus won, we might have President Ryan right now

A once-unfathomable notion, the lawful possession and private use of pot, becomes an American
reality tomorrow when this state's law goes into effect. Thursday is "Legalization Day" here,
with a tote-your-own-ounce celebration scheduled beneath Seattle's Space Needle -- a nod to the
measure allowing adults to possess up to an ounce of pot. Colorado's law is set to take effect by Jan. 5.
I don't get it.
They're rallying tomorrow at the Space Needle but it's not legal until Jan 5th?
Why haven't we heard anything from Obama on this?
Is he going to surprise raid a thousand places tomorrow?

Bart, I will donate $250 as “sweetener” for December contribution matching,
Eddy the OK Pillar
Eddy, thanks for that.
November was set to break a record for most donations (lately, anyway)
but then that call from the hospital took it all - and more - away.
As they say, Life is a Bitch and then you keep on going.
BTW, when the hospital called on Monday and said,
"Your procedure is Wednesday but we need $1320 right now,"
what would they have said if my credit card was already max'd out?
I think they were looking at my credit report at least
as closely as they were looking at my medical reports.
Fundraiser to Keep Bartcop.com Going
It's been a while since we had a fund-raiser.
Subscribers are way off, donations are way down, but we still have a lot of readers.
Bartcop.com is worth saving, right?
Times are tough, and I realize people can't contribute like they used to
but I'd already be gone if it wasn't for Mrs. Bart kicking in her paycheck.
Even the purchases on Amazon.com are down - waaaay down.
PLEASE remember to use the Amazon link when you shop online.
If you think bartcop.com is worth saving, please try to kick in a few dollars.
I will make you this promise: I won't disappear suddenly.
We might end up doing a "Last 90 days of Bartcop" - that'd be sad.
