"For those confident of success in the surge,
McConnell's maneuvers will lead to a brilliant
victory in 2008. For the overwhelming
majority of Republicans in Congress, who will not say
publicly what they have long believed privately,
the freight train of electoral disaster is heading
towards them at 100 miles an hour.
Scandals that harm Republicans are revealed
by the hour. Investigations by Democrats that have
barely begun will yield even more nasty revelations.
The Iraq policy is in very deep trouble.
McConnell is playing high-stakes poker with
a pair of threes visible to all, and they raise the ante?

Bush/Cheney
& a Love of 'Petards'
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
Neocons love one rhetorical device above all
others, flipping an opponent's words back in his face,
a process called "hoisting him on his own petard."
Recently, Bush and Cheney have engaged in this
practice in countering Iraq War opponents. Bush
mocked his "realist" critics for lacking "realism."
Cheney, who has spread every Iraq War myth known
to man, is now accusing critics of embracing
"myths" about the Iraq War. Clever words, however,
cannot fix a disastrous military policy.
As for the "myth" that the Iraq War was a diversion
from the "war on terror," Cheney's formulation
amounts to yet another assertion that doesn't
stand up to serious scrutiny, but will surely be repeated often.
The simple fact is that the Bush/Cheney invasion
of Iraq four years ago was a diversion from fighting
al-Qaeda and its Taliban allies in Afghanistan.

"Gonzales has shown a disdain for Congress
and the rights of the American people.
He has amply proved that he will never
be anything other than Mr Bush's lawyer
- a mere apologist for the imperial
presidency. The affair has already claimed one
top scalp at the justice department.
It is high time Mr Gonzales stepped down too."

Subject: Cali real estate
Doing the math on CA---
Sold my stock in 1999 before Chimpy made the markets
tank.
Bought a 1750 sq. ft. house for 150K.
Now the house is worth 550K.
I like that math just fine.
Just hope all our home prices don't turn to shit.

Mission Viejo CA
Ed, I don't think those California dollars are real.
The only way you could get some value out
of that money
would be to move somewhere like ...Oklahoma.
You could move here, buy a brand new 2500 sq ft
castle for $200K
and have a cool million in the bank ....but
you'd be in Oklahoma.

Hey Bart,
It's really amazing how rude, cruel and thoughtless
people think they have the right to be.
Hard to believe someone would berate you for
a computer glitch.
And remember, he's a longtime fan...
I thought of you recently when I got an angry
e-mail from a listener.
He was pissed because we played a song by the
Dixie Chicks (haha!).
He went on a tirade about how they were un-American
and how dare I play their music.
Then he gave me that golden line, "I would have
made a contribution to your radio station, but now I won't!"
Hope it's a little consolation you're not the
only one who deals with that shit!
Take care

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the suspected mastermind

"I was responsible for the 9/11 operation from

Sununu: Torty Gonzales must go
Excerpt:
Sen. John Sununu (R-SonofBastard) of New Hampshire
on Wednesday became the first Republican
in Congress to call for Torty's dismissal, hours
after Bush expressed confidence in his crooked lawyer.
"I think the president should replace him," Sununu
said in an interview with The Whore AP.
"Right now, the attorney general's image is tarnished
in the eyes of many Americans and frankly,
we need an Attorney General who is spick and
span. I think Mr. Gonzales should be fired."
Let me guess: Sununu is one of the 21 GOP senators up for re-election
in 2008 and
this is his chance to split away from Bush, or as he's now knonn, "President
Poison."
Sununu knows a sinking ship when he sees one.

Terror Nation tells the story of
a small-town sports writer who turns his interest
to writing letters to the editor after he has
retired from the paper.
He was once a Reagan Republican but after his
wife died he began to hear her voice,
perhaps a little stronger than when she was around.
He turns his politics 180 degrees.
His family - or is it the government - puts him
in the local insane asylum
not three blocks from his home. What is he to
do?
60 Democratic
Senators?
by Brent Budowsky
Excerpt:
21 Republican senators are running for reelection
in 2008, creating the possibility of seismic gains for Democrats.
Is Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) a brilliant tactician,
leading his caucus to a catastrophic disaster in 2008?
Dick Morris says the Iraq war votes are a game
of chicken in which Republicans aggressively go to the mat for the
president's policy, and prevail because of their
iron will. Setting aside whether the lives of our troops should be
subject to a game of chicken by partisans in
Washington, in a war that is going poorly, with tidal opposition from
the American people, this strategy at best achieves
irrelevant short-term tactical gains in return for strategic disaster for
the GOP.
When McConnell maneuvered with a successful filibuster to defeat the resolution, what did he achieve?
His party was overwhelmingly blamed by the public,
yet again, on Iraq. Some of the wisest Republicans in the Senate
found their sound advice ignored, and were embarrassed
by voting both for and against their own proposal, within days.

Giuliani on Chavez payroll
Excerpt:
Rudy Giuliani's law firm lobbies for Citgo Petroleum
Corp., a unit of the state-owned oil company
controlled by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who calls
President Bush a "madman" and a "devil."
Bracewell & Giuliani registered to lobby for
Citgo in Texas on April 26, 2005, less than a month
after Giuliani joined the firm and became a name
partner, state records show. Citgo renewed the
contract in 2006 and 2007 and pays the firm $5,000
a month to track legislation.
Giuliani's campaign released a statement:
"Mayor Giuliani has been clear and consistent
- he will accept money from anybody
because he's drunk with power and wants to torture
black people in the White House,"
campaign spokeswoman Katie Levinson said in the
statement.

The Hit-Woman
Behind Bush
'Harry' covered up his draft-dodge, too
by Greg Palast
Excerpt:
The Mister Big behind the scandal of George Bush's
firing of US Attorneys is not a 'mister' at all.
The House Judiciary Committee has released White
House emails indicating that the political operative
who ordered the hit on prosecutors too honest
for their own good was Harriet Miers, Bush's maid.
But this is not the first time that Miers has
fired investigators to protect Mr. Bush.
In 1999, while investigating Bush, I obtained
an extraordinary, and extraordinarily confidential, memo
to the US Attorney's office in Austin. It disclosed
that, in 1997, Governor Bush secretly suggested to
the chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission
that she grant a contract to the client of a Bush ally.
The Governor's back-door demand to the Lottery
chairwoman was not so easy. Bush wanted the
Lottery to grant a multi-billion dollar contract
to GTech Corporation. But GTech hadn't even bid on
the contract - and a winner was already announced.
Miers then fixed it.

The 'Surge'
Is Succeeding
by Robert Kagan (R-Whore)
Excerpt:
Leading journalists have been reporting for some
time that the war was hopeless,
a fiasco that could not be salvaged by more troops
and a new counterinsurgency strategy.
The conventional wisdom in December held that
sending more troops was politically
impossible after the antiwar tenor of the midterm
elections.
Four months later, the once insurmountable political
opposition has been surmounted.
And though it is still early and horrible acts
of violence continue, there is substantial evidence
that the new counterinsurgency strategy, backed
by the infusion of new forces, is having a significant effect.
A greater sense of confidence produces many benefits.
The number of security tips about insurgents
that Iraqi civilians provide has jumped sharply.
Stores and marketplaces are reopening in Baghdad,
increasing the sense of community. People dislocated
by sectarian violence are returning to their homes.
We'll know the surge has succeeded when Bush, Cheney and Condi
announce that they're going to visit and walk the streets of baghdad.
After they take a scheduled, public tour of the Baghdad streets,
I will admit the surge has worked.
Until that happens, it's just one giant wishful thinking handjob.

Dying woman
loses marijuana appeal
God must be very proud of his followers
Excerpt:
A woman whose doctor says marijuana is the only
medicine keeping her alive can face federal drug charges.
The ruling was the latest legal defeat for Angel
Raich, a mother of two from Oakland suffering from scoliosis,
a brain tumor, chronic nausea and other ailments
who sued the federal government pre-emptively to avoid
being arrested for using the drug. On her doctor's
advice, Raich eats or smokes marijuana every couple of hours
to ease her pain and bolster her appetite.
The latest legal twist once again highlighted
the conflict between the federal government, which tries to please
some non-existent God by declaring that marijuana
has no medical value, and her doctor who says it does.
Pure insanity.
What happened to "Life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness?"
Isn't she guaranteed life under the Constitution?
What is her crime - having a brain tumor?
Trust me, if this was Jenna Bush, every religious handjob on FOX News
would be
running to her rescue like they did when she was caught underage drinking.
Amertica is so hung up on God and nudity and senseless slaughter,
they can't find a way to let this dying woman go out with less pain?
Raich, 41, began sobbing when she was told of
the decision that
she was not immune to prosecution and said she
would continue using the drug.
"I'm sure not going to let them kill me," she said. "Oh, my God."
There are so many things that make me ashamed of my country.

Subject: Gonzales makes Mistakes?
Attorney General Gonzales concedes that he "made
some mistakes" as if his firing of 8 prosecutors
who refused to participate in Bush's latest voter
suppression scheme was some sort of simple error.
Gonzales should go to jail for what he did but
that's not going to happen because he fired
all the prosecutors who had the integrity to
prosecute him for it.

We knew MoDo was a Ho way back - back in my "blue period."
Each time she fired a below-the-belt shot at the Clintons, I'd run
her picture.
Thouble is - the picture was some tacky lady I saw on a porn site.
Someone saw this on the inter-tubes and sent it to me.
It never hurts to remember we're mostly a comedy site.
Plus, you really can't hold me responsible for some of those back issues.
Iraq pumped 3.5M
barrels daily before
Bush invaded
and then they got their 2003 Halliburton
upgrade
Bush is stealing $220,000,000 every day.
No wonder they were so eager to start a war,
stealing $220,000,000 every day.
It's the biggest theft in Earth's history.
Exxon made
$10B profit in 90 days
$100M a day - all profit - because Bush started a fake war
Bush's "Bring 'em on" death taunt is up to...
3,197....3,203
American victims
We lost 6
more soldiers since last issue
while the Little Dictator plays with himself.
...and how much did BIG OIL make yesterday?
Exxon
makes $108M - every day
(And that's just ONE oil company)
6 more
soldiers
are dead, but that's OK because
Exxon makes $75,000
profit per minute
Bush can live with that,
because Iraq's oil wells have
no meters
and his front company is moving
to Dubai.
Bush has killed more Americans than Osama.

China Hits
U.S. Rights Hypocrisy
by Ivan Leland
Excerpt:
George W. Bush and his "war on terror" have taken
the United States so far from its founding concept
of "unalienable rights" that Washington invites
derision when it chastises repressive nations for denying
liberties to their own people. Rather than the
shining city on the hill, the United States has become the
glass house from which stones are thrown. In
this guest essay, Ivan Eland notes that even the Chinese
government has lobbed back a few salvos.
