Democrats
Cave on Gates
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Though the Democrats won the Nov. 7 elections
largely because of public anger over the Iraq War,
Bush has prevailed in the first post-election
showdown over Iraq. He got the Senate Armed Services
Committee to unanimously approve Gates as Defense
Secretary, with Democrats failing to nail Gates
down on any substantive point about war strategy.
In effect, Bush has bought himself at least several
months to continue his "stay-until-victory" plan,
even as more American soldiers and Iraqis die.
Democratic strategery seems to give Bush enough rope to continue hanging
himself,
but how many more soldiers will die because they rubber-stamped this
crook?

Subject: Neil Young
Bart,
I was listening to BCR 83-4.
You were talking about McCartney and Jagger being
whores for having sponsers for
their tours, even though they are two of the
richest musicians today. I agree with that.
Why does either one need some "front" money to
stage a tour?
My purpose here is to point out another very rich
rock star who hasn't sold out. Neil Young.
I have written to you before about Neil but this
time I want to help you to understand that
"being true to yourself" can still be the hallmark
of a rich rock star.
Remember when his video was banned from MTV? It
was called "This Notes For You".
He still won video of the year. It was the spoof
on Michael Jackson and all the stars who
sold out to the corporate sponsers. His tour
that year was called "Sponsered By Nobody".
I have the T-shirt.
When Metallica had that fit about the kids downloading
free music, Neil said.
"I've made a lot of money. I'm not gonna worry
about some kid getting a
free copy of a song I wrote." And you can listen
to his new cd free!
How many rock stars do that.
I just thought that Neil deserved a shout out
for all the above.
Peace,
Dave, Cincinnati

Panel: Bush
is a lying bastard
He hasn't been honest about the violence in Iraq
Excerpt:
The BFEE has systematically underreported the
violence in Iraq in order to suit
Der Fuhrer's policy goals, the bipartisan Iraq
Study Group said.
The group recommended Wednesday that the lying
bastards make changes in
the collection of data about violence to provide
a more accurate picture.
The panel pointed to one day last July when U.S.
officials reported 93 attacks
or significant acts of violence. "Yet a careful
review of the reports for that single
day brought to light 1,100 acts of violence,"
it said.
Bush lied about 1100 acts of violence only being
93?
You mean our president has been lying to us about
his bloody quagmire?
I'm shocked.

Bush steals
Katrina money
Fraud runs rampant under Der Monkey
Excerpt:
The government is squandering tens of millions
of dollars in Katrina aid, in some cases doling out
housing payments to people living rent-free,
investigators said Wednesday. FEMA has recouped
less than 1 percent of the $1 billion that investigators
contend it squandered on fraudulent assistance,
according to the GAO. Its report shows the disaster
relief agency's struggles, one year later, to rush
aid to those in need while also preventing abuse.

Subject: War's over - we lost
For those who haven't figured it out yet the Iraq
war is over and we have lost it.
Now we have to figure out how to get out of there
and make the best of what we have left.
The Congress has a choice to make now. Are we
going to face reality or are we going to send
more soldiers to die so that Bush can save face?
I believe the sending soldiers to die for politics is murder.
This is Bush's war. Bush is far to dishonest and
incompetent to handle the problems he created.
It is now time for Bush and Cheney to resign
and step aside and resign. It is time to find someone
to clean up Bush's mess. American should not
have to continue to bleed while Bush runs out the clock.
Bush can't handle it and it's time for him to
get out. Getting rid of Bush will send a message to the rest
of the world that America is serious about change.
Something that our friends need to see.
Say after me.
Bush get out!
Bush get out!
Bush get out!
Marc Perkel
San Bruno, CA
He's right - nothing can change in Iraq as long as they see American soldiers.
The Bartcop Plan must be adopted. The Baker plan gets part-way
there, suggesting we move
the troops from combat to support, but if the most bad-ass military
on the planet can't bring peace
to Baghdad, how can ar army of newly-minted handjobs?

Lesbian
Cheney Pregnant
But no room for her at the GOP Inn
Excerpt:
Conservative leaders voiced dismay Wednesday
at news that Mary Cheney, Cheney's lesbian daughter,
is pregnant, apparently from man-sperm, while
a gay-rights group said Cheney the friend-shooter faces
"a lifetime of sleepless nights" for serving
in a racist reich that has opposed the happiness of same-sex couples.
Mary Cheney, 37, and her I-hate-lesbians partner
Heather Poe, 45, are expecting a baby in late spring,
Cheney and his Fascist thugs are on record as saying a child born to
two mommies will grow up "funny."
Isn't that why hate groups deny the rights of gays to adopt?
If the Cheney grandchild can grow up with two mommies, why can't other
kids?
Why is it always "different" when it happens to them?
...and where did they get this man-sperm?

Bart,
You've ripped Gates, and he probably deserves
it for
the shit he pulled during the reign of "Bush
the Greater."
However, ripping the Dems for his confirmation
is a bit premature.
The Dems won't be in charge of the Senate till
January.
I'll wait and see what they do then.
John in Milwaukee
Did you know every Democrat voted to confirm?
The two no votes were Republicans - Bunning (Insane) and Santorum
(Man-on-dog sex).
Just guessing, but I assume the Democrats voted for Gates because Rummy
was going to stay on the job until someone took his place at the Pentagon.
Or, maybe they figured every nominee will be a crooked liar and
a Bush loyalist
but Gates is certainly less insane than Rumsfeld - so it was a net
gain?
Or, maybe they're still afraid to anger Karl Rove.

So, if I get this right, you supported Lieberman

That does not seem like you, but he was the frontrunner!
Or were you the one saying "Don't look at the poles?"

I don't recall Kissyface leading Kerry by 16

Re:More huffing from Arianna
I noticed you didn't take offense to HER being

A little pick and choose out of context, maybe.
You think calling a black man "boy" is a good idea?

Blind love for a "little girl" that has voted with the BFEE, what, like 95% of her short career?
What horseshit

I believe the correct figure is five percent.
Your hatred for Her prevents you from seeing
things clearly.
And as far as my "blind love," for the 50th time,
I think someone with a 20-25 point lead
has a better chance to win than those who are
eating her dust.
You say that makes me crazy.
I say refusing to acknowledge that 42 beats 15
is your logic flaw, not mine.
Never took a stand on a big issue. Never took
the lead. Most governors have done these thing.
Her husband has done these things. She has followed.
Other than once first lady and name

Taps for the Constitution
Excerpt:
It felt yesterday like paying last respects to
the Constitution at the wake orchestrated by the Senate
Armed Services Committee. On the surface, the
ceremony was about confirming Gates. But at a
deeper level, it was quite a sorry spectacle,
as pretentious heads and patrician manners trumped
courage and vitiated the prerogative carefully
honed by the framers for the Senate to advise and consent.
In other news, "at least 54 Iraqis were killed
and scores wounded," according to the New York Times.
We've lost 30 soldiers in the last seven days.
And five Marines were charged with killing 24 Iraqis,
many of them women and children, in the village
of Haditha in November 2005.
No such bothersome details about Bush's war were
allowed into evidence yesterday by the stuffed shirts
sitting in stuffed seats in a hearing room stuffed
with 80 stenographers from our domesticated press.
Rather, the ornate hearing room seemed to serve
as a kind of funeral parlor for the Constitution.
As Trent Lott threatens to use the filibuster to block legislation in
the Senate in '07,
the Democrats are still too scared to use that power today - I wonder
why?
Imagine Billy Batson sitting in New Orleans when Katrina struck. All
he has to do is rub his
magic ring and say "Shazam" and he turns into Captain Marvel and he
can save his city..
But he's a Democrat, so he fails to rub the ring and his city drowns.
Why?

Subject: Arianna: Why I hate the Clintons
Arianna reminds me of when I was about 8 years
old, and my little friend,
Doris arrived at school with a pair of "majorette
boots" on that she had received for Christmas.
She had the Shirley Temple curls, and looked
so cute. I had wanted a pair of boots like that
for so long, and I was so jealous of my friend.
I told her I didn't like them, that she shouldn't
wear white boots in the winter; and that my parents
would have bought me a pair if only I'd wanted
them. (Those were falsehoods), but as a child,
that was my way of trying to put Doris down in
order to make myself feel better.
However, one would expect an ADULT to handle
jealousy in a more mature manner.
Thankfully, I'm not jealous of Hillary, and I
want her to be my President come 2008.

Bush & Gates fight: Are we winning?
Excerpt:
At today's meeting with reporters, Tony Snow
was asked about the Iraq Study Group's report
-- and today's surprise admission by Robert Gates
that the U.S. is not winning the war in Iraq.
Snow said Bush has not backed away from his recent
statement that the U.S. is "winning" in Iraq.
He also suggested that Gates seemed to say that
maybe we weren't losing and we weren't winning.
And he charged that the press was being too negative
about all this: "What I think is demoralizing
is a constant effort to try to portray this as
a losing mission," he said.
So, Snow is upset that the press is lying less for them?
How can Gates be "the right man at the right time"
for Bush's bloody quagmire
if he & Bush can't even agree on whether
we're winning or losing?
Didn't Gates get the play book before he accepted

Premeditated War
Excerpt:
Bush, the proud "war president," was rebuked
in the recent election. The event was notable,
but it continued the surreal politics of premeditated
war - a politics that has dominated the
last six bizarre, hideous years of our nation's
history.
Two elements of the repudiation seem unreal. Not
the fact of it, but the length of its gestation period
- those six years - and how tepid it was. Given
Bush's record - lying us into war, torturing prisoners,
rewarding cronies with no-bid contracts, spying
secretly on the nation's citizens, selling public policy
to Jack Abramoff's clients, ignoring laws with
"signing statements" - one would expect the political
about-face to have occurred far sooner, and the
protest to have been a firestorm. Bush loyalists in
Congress (and George Bush) should have been turned
out angrily and en masse two years ago.
The Democrats' response? "Impeachment is
off the table."
Let us instead proceed with raising the minimum
wage.
Apparently Bush's record is flawless, showing
nothing remotely approaching
a high crime or a misdemeanor. Impeachment would
be a "waste of time."
