Democratic Leaders 'Betray' Hackett
  by Robert Parry  as seen on consortiumnews.com

 Link

 Excerpt:
The Democrats are even more galling. They seem zeroed in on both doing what's wrong and what's stupid.
The latest example is the party leadership's "success" in driving Paul Hackett out of the Ohio Senate race
apparently because he speaks his mind too much and takes the fight directly to the Republicans.

Instead, Democratic Senate leaders, hoping to win in Ohio by default because of Republican disarray,
opted for an establishment Democrat, Sherrod Brown, a seven-term congressman who has raised
$2.37 million, tenfold more money than outsider Hackett.

But by settling on a business-as-usual strategy, Democratic leaders offended the idealism - and fighting spirit
- of their base and may have ultimately hurt their chances for victory in November, a lose-lose strategy that
has become all too familiar for Democrats.
 
 

What if we took senate Democrats to Yellowstone and turned them loose with the grizzley's?
Would they show any instincts for self-preservation?
Or would they pour ketchup on themselves, find a bear and say, "Eat me?"

'Able Danger' ID'd Atta 13 Times
  They knew about the USS Cole in advance, too

 Link

 Excerpt:
Pre-Sept. 11 intelligence by a secret military unit identified Mohamed Atta 13 different times, a congressman said Tuesday.

Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., said the unit — code-named "Able Danger" — also identified "a problem" in Yemen two weeks
before the attack on the     USS Cole. It knew the problem was tied into the port of Aden and involved a U.S. platform,
but the ship commander was not made aware of it, Weldon said.  The Cole bombing killed 17 sailors on Oct. 12, 2000.

If anyone had told the Cole's commander that there was any indication of a problem in Aden, "he would not have gone there,"
Weldon told reporters. "He had no clue."

"Can you imagine the outcry from the right wingers if Al Gore shot a guy? 
Rush Limbaugh, et al, saw scandal and conspiracy when the Clintons went to church. 
Republicans would have been calling for congressional hearings. The cable whores

Cheney: "I shot my friend"

 Link

 Excerpt:
Four days after shooting a friend and then trying to prevent us from finding out, Dick Cheney poured
his heart out by answering edited, softball questions from Brit Hume, his first wife of FOX Whore News.

Sobbing like a recovering crack whore on Oprah, Cheney confessed, "That was my finger on the gun,
I pulled the trigger and even the great Karl Rove can't figure a way to blame this mess on Bill Clinton."
Cheney got off-script and admitted drinking beer prior to demonstrating "depraved indifference" to human life.

Armstrong, Cheney's new spokeswoman, told CNN that she never saw Cheney or Whittington "drink at all
until after the accident occurred, when the vice president fixed himself a cocktail back at the house."
 

Old lawyer's trick.
When you committ a crime drunk, hide from police and drink even more, thus preventing the cops from
knowing how drunk you were when you pulled the trigger and almost (and may still) kill somebody.
 

Hillarious Sidebar:
Tuesday night on Larry King, former handjob Alan Simpson scolded late night comics
for getting so much mileage out of Cheney's misery on this "most sensitive subject."

  "Dat's what he said!"

Alan, this is the "Go fuck yourself," Vice President.
This is the "I'm damn proud that I told Senator Leahy to go fuck himself," vice president.
This is the arrogant asshole who barks orders at the Pinhead in Chief, who lied us into war,
outed Valeri Plame and instructed Der Monkey to rape the Constitution.

Forgive us for not being "properly sensitive" after the heartless bastard shot a guy.

Hume the Whore Draws Criticism

 Link

 Excerpt:
Cheney's choice of Fox "We Love Cheney" News to break his silence about shooting that poor bhastard
had other media whores types talking, particularly among whores who see Fox for what they are.

"They're whores for the Republican Party," Paul Begala might've said. 
"It's like Khrushchev giving an interview to Pravda."
Even Bill O'Reilly called the handjob "the media out of control."

Said CNN's Jack Cafferty: "It wasn't a profile in courage for Bush to go to the F-word network
for a sit-down with Brit Hume. That's a little like Bonnie interviewing Clyde, ain't it?"

Quotes

"Who's calling the shots at the White House? Dick Cheney, of course. There are lots of lessons 
 to be learned from the Cheney shooting and the ensuing press blackout. But the evidence suggests 
 that Cheney isn't interested in learning any of them. Instead, the public is getting an opportunity 
 to learn some lessons about Cheney. And lesson number one is that Cheney gets his way."

Subject:  9-11

Why did Bush claim on two different occasions to having watched the first plane hit the first building
BEFORE entering that classroom?  There are only two possibilities....a)  They were in on it or let it happen
b)  Bush lied to score PR points by trying to be amusing.

a)  With the plane hitting at 8:46am and him entering the classroom around 9:00am....He either had to watch it
in the Presidential limo or in the hallway prior to entering the classroom.  Seeing as no network broadcast footage
of the first plane hitting the first building until hours later when that first video popped up...it had to have been the limo
.....a live feed.....and Bush smiling from ear to ear because all of his political draeams came true.

b)  Bush went into detail about how he felt entering the classroom after viewing such a tragic event and how he felt.
Lying to children to score political points by politicizing 9/11?  But then why the detail?  Can't be a slip up...too much
detail of him thinking about the event prior to entering the classroom.

MM some
 

MM, the press let Bush get away with other lies that day, too.
That day, Bush said, "When I saw that first plane hit, I thought, 'That's one bad pilot.' "

Later, the press allowed Bush to change that to, "Right away, I knew America was under attack."
That makes the simpleton/coward sound like a man of action - what a joke.

We'll never get the truth because the press's job is to bury the truth.

Cool Hand Dick

 Excerpt:
CRIME 1: The Dick refused to talk to a deputy sheriff when he came to the ranch at 8pm; not until 8am,
14 ½ hours after the accident did he make a statement… or long enough for the alcohol to burn off.
When rich powerful people (or just average Joes) get together for shooting or boating or golfing, they usually
get plastered as they celebrate their mastery of the universe. MSNBC had a now-deleted quote from Armstrong
"There may have been beer available during a picnic lunch that preceded the incident.
There may be a beer or two in there," she said…."

Hey Tom, I'll give you some free advice:
Instead of insisting to any press outlet that will have you

Clinton on killing caged Birds

 Link

 Excerpt:
Bill Clinton can't resist peppering Cheney with a little common sense after the Veep's hunting accident. 
Bill allowed that we should cut Cheney some slack if he was hunting "where wild birds land," where 
"you've got to rustle them up and they fly fast. A lot of times you can't see them on the ground, and you 
do turn and fire. But then there's the kind of place where Cheney's known to hunt - where, Clinton noted, 
"They raise the quail on a farm." He added: 'It's hardly a sport. The quail are slow. You have to stomp on 
the ground to get them to get up and fly. And you can't not get your limit. If it was that kind of farm, then, 
whatever the facts are, the Vice President shouldn't have done that. Because he was going to get his limit.'"

Subject: Was Cheney on a double date in the woods?

Do you find it odd that two men are out hunting with two women not their wives?
Maybe this is the reason for the WH cover up?

The four in the hunting party were: Cheney, the guy he shot, the divorced Katharine Armstrong

 "If you're Cheney's age, I'm hot."

and Pamela Willeford, Ambassador to Chocolateland.

Before you say it's sleazy to ask this, think about what the press
would be reporting if it were John Kerry instead of Dick Cheney
 

I don't want to slime all hunters, but the men I've known who "went hunting" were hunting for girls.

You tell your wife, "You'd hate it - we'll be in the woods all weekend, drinking whiskey, covered with 
deer feces, it'll be cold and no bathrooms and guns going off - and lots of hiking long distances..."
so the wives bows out while the men drive to another town and pick up some high-mileage pit woofers in a bar.

This isn't all hunters, just the ones I know in Oklahoma.

Sleazy - Pull yer Head Out

 Link

 Excerpt:
Confronted by Judas Maximus with the news that fiery Moqtada al-Sadr was the kingmaker in the 
selection of Iraq's next prime minister, Rice replied sanguinely, "Iraq is a complex place, there's a lot of voices."

But as Stephanopoulos pointed out, the voice in question has been raised to offer military support to Rice's nemeses, 
Syria and Iran. In Syria, al-Sadr pledged to fight in "the defense against our common enemies" -- the United States, 
Britain and Israel. Visiting Tehran, he offered the support of Iraqi fighters in the event of an attack by the United States 
over the issue of Iran's nuclear program, stating unequivocally, "If neighboring Islamic countries, including Iran, become 
the targets of attacks, we will support them." 

Rice  is someone I knew to be a very bright scholar back when we were both in Stanford's arms-control seminar. 
Yes, we differed on occasion, but I never had cause to doubt her ability to reason. Now, I do.

Subject: yes or no

 Excerpt:
It would follow, therefore that anyone who considers your "slap leather, or go home" question to be addressed
to them, should consider themselves half-wits who can only prove themselves otherwise by having "the courage
to answer that question", thereby, according to you, automatically redeeming themselves since an honest answer
would align them w/ Sen. Clinton, in spite of themselves.

No matter how you slice it, no matter how complicated some people want to make this, saying
"Bring the troops home right now - no excuses, just do it" is a yes-or-no question.

Cheney Says He Can't Discuss CIA Leak Case

 Excerpt:
"'It's nothing I can talk about,' Cheney said in an interview with Fox Whore News. 
'I may well be called as a witness at some point in the case and it's, therefore, 
inappropriate for me to comment on any facet of the case.'"
 

They just pick and choose which laws must be obeyed.
Hey Dick, why not just pass asecret law that you can talk about anything?

Subject: another 9-11 e-mail

Bart

How can you make comments like  " ...and the Rose Law Firm billing records didn't kill 3,000 Americans ",
implying that you agree with the official Bush/Cheney conspiracy theory that 19 Arab hijackers killed 3,000 Americans
under Bin Ladens orders even after you have been persuaded to look at the facts by dozens of your readers?

So you have a theory about 9-11?
Are you going to make me guess what it is?
 

I don't buy your argument that unless a big political or media figure gets behind the true story of 9/11
then the truth is a moot point and we should all just parrot the story Bush/Cheney has given us.
 Pep

*I* said the truth is a moot point?
If you can make that stick I'll give you a car.

I have a question for you:
Why do people fabricate wild-ass quotes and then demand that I take responsibility for them?

Cheney Claims He Has Power to Declassify Info

 Link

 Excerpt:
Cheney disclosed Wednesday that he has the power to declassify sensitive government information, 
authority that could set up a criminal defense for "Scooter" Libby. Cheney's disclosure comes a week after 
reports that Libby testified under oath he was authorized by superiors in 2003 to disclose highly sensitive 
prewar information to reporters. The information, about Iraq and alleged weapons of mass destruction, 
was used by the Bush administration to bolster its case for invading Iraq.
 

So, after denying for years that they were guilty, now they say 
that they had the legal power to break the law all along. 

How many other "secret laws" have they passed?
We won't find out until they're caught breaking them.

When playing poker with Unka Dick, after the players have gone "all in,"
he reveals that there's a new rule that a ten, king, two, five seven beats a full house.

These bastards belong behind bars.

David, when did I say, "The Iraqis would fall into lockstep behind a Jordanian Sunni?"

The answer is - I didn't say that.
You kinda, sorta made that up, and then asked me to I explain why I said it.

Y'know, there's a nifty tool called "right click and copy."
That allows you to quote what I said, not what you think you might remember.

What I said was:

TV Stuff

American Idol - all three judges are sadistic bastards.

These kids are hanging on an emotional cliff - they're either going to be TV stars or pathetic losers,
so the judges say to them, "I'm sorry..."  and after the contestant starts to cry, they say,
"We're sorry you're coming back tomorrow - because you're a winner."
It's cruelty for the sake of cruelty - but what else can we expect from FOX?

It reminds me of young boy Bush pushing firecrackers up a frog's ass
and then throwing the frog in the air so he can catch the "beautiful crimson spray."

BTW, Idol, Grey's Anatomy, Lost and Housewives are all kicking Olympic ass in the ratings.
Nobody wants to watch winter sports - why can't NBC understand that?
Hell, I'll bet Dancing with the Stars beats the Olympics tonight.

Quotes

"Blind faith in Bush is the very opposite of all that which conservatism has stood for for the last four decades. 
The anti-government ethos espoused by Barry Goldwater and even Ronald Reagan is wholly unrecognizable 
in Bush followers, who - at least thus far - have discovered no limits on the powers that ought to be vested in 
George Bush to enable him "to do good" on behalf of all of us. And in that regard, people like Michelle Malkin
and Jonah Goldberg are not conservatives. They are authoritarian cultists. Their allegiance is not to any principles 
of government but to Bush. The rage-based reverence for Bush -- and the creepy, blind faith vested in his goodness
-- is not a movement I recognize as being conservative or even American."

Subject: WTF are you talking about - a billion dollars a week?

This is your shakiest argument yet. (and that's saying something).

Dude, feel free to list all my "shaky arguments" then please, ...put me in my place.

For the last 165 issues in a row, I've done the math for you.

 Iraq pumps 2,000,000 barrels a day,
(and that was before the 2002 Halliburton Upgrade)
 times today's oil price (which can be)  $70.00 a barrel
 makes $140,000,000 Bush stole just yesterday

 Dude, what's $140 M times seven?
 I'll help you out - it's $980,000,000 dollars (I stretched that to $1 billion to save time)

You don't even have to use your brain - all you have to do is recognize numbers
and letters in a certain order that spell out the obvious - a billion dollars a week.

Some people disagree.  I have included a BRIEF rebuttal.
The logic seems pretty strong to me.  Nor is this a new theory.
I'd like to see where in your archives you called Murtha a 'leftie'.

Yeah, me, too.
If I did, I was saying "Bush and his whore media are making Murtha out to be Jane Fonda."
 

A poll recently conducted shows that over 80% of Iraqis are strongly opposed to coalition troops,
and about 45% of the Iraqi population believe attacks against American troops are justified.

Oh, really?
I thought they loved us over there.

Who do you think you're talking to?
 

I believe we need to turn Iraq over to the Iraqis.

If Van Halen really plans to seek a new lead singer through CBS's "Rock Star" reality show,
