'Prosecutor-gate':
Bush's power grab
by Robert Parry
Excerpt:
In 2005, when the White House launched a plan
to oust U.S. Attorneys who showed insufficient political loyalty,
George W. Bush was hoping to solidify one-party
Republican control of American political life, in part, through
aggressive prosecution of Democrats for alleged
"voter fraud."
One part of Bush's power grab was to unleash attack-dog
GOP prosecutors to rip into Democrats who had been
trying to get more Americans to vote. But where
Republicans claimed "voter fraud," such as allowing some released
felons to cast ballots, the Democrats saw Republican
"voter suppression" aimed at frightening minority citizens away
from the polls.
But the swing of a few hundred votes in some districts
could mean giving the Democrats control of the House and
Senate -- and subjecting the Bush administration
to some serious oversight. So, by October 2006, when the White
House now admits that Bush personally passed
on Republican complaints to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
about the lack of urgency in addressing Democratic
"voter fraud" cases, the GOP dream of near-permanent
one-party governance was in grave jeopardy.

You called that exactly.
In DC, people are going ape shit about the fact
that a house they bought five years ago
for $250k has now DROPPED in vaule to $300k after
rocketing up in value to $400k.
I used to produce an investment radio show and
a real estate radio show.
All these people were calling in at the height
of the boom talking about selling off
the home they'd been in for 15 years for 1000
times the original investment.
Most were clueless that they'd have to move to
realize a return on the sale.

"Iraqi Shias don't want to compromise with
the Sunnis. They don't have to. There's going to be
a genocide of Sunnis in Baghdad. The
Shia have the numbers to do it; they can absorb all the
Sunni car bombs it takes. We aren't
capable of stopping it; they can't tell a Sunni from a Shia.
The best you can hope for is that it
doesn't spill into the neighboring countries."

If Bush was human, he'd feel bad about the 3200 dead soldiers and the
100,000 dead Iraqis,
but he spent the week south of the border dancing like a drunken bar

Meanwhile, Pickles released a statement asking for the media to stop
pretending
there was civil unrest in Mexico and South America because she didn't

New Mexico
legalize medical marijuana
Gov. Richardson takes a gamble
Excerpt:
Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson, poised to sign
a bill making New Mexico the 12th state to legalize
medical marijuana, said Thursday he realizes
his action could become an issue in the presidential race.
"So what if it's risky? It's the right thing
to do," said Richardson, running for president in 2008.
"What we're talking about is 160 people in deep
pain. It only affects them."
The legislation would create a program under which
some patients - with a doctor's note
- could use marijuana provided by the state.
Lawmakers approved the bill Wednesday.
The governor is expected to sign it in the next
few weeks.
"So what if it's risky? It's the right thing to do,"
That's gotta be worth a shot.
How often does a politician do the right damn thing?

All roads lead to Rove
Excerpt:
"White House spokeswhore Dana Perino acknowledged
that the U.S. attorneys' dismissals were preceded
by a conversation between Bush and Tortureboy
last October in which Bush complained that some prosecutors
were not pursuing "voter fraud investigations."
(That's code for "Letting niggers vote")
These were, in fact, cases
that Rove thought were especially important to
Republicans. Rove was the conduit for Republican political
grievances about the U.S. attorneys. He was the
fulcrum and the lever. He was the collector of information and
the magnet of power. He was the originator, formulator
and director. But, initially, according to the administration,
like Gonzales, he supposedly knew nothing and
did nothing. Even after the administration alibis had collapsed,
the White House trotted out Dan Bartlett, the
cool and calm communications director, to engage in a bit of
cognitive dissonance. There was no plot, and
maybe Rove was involved in the thing that didn't happen.
"You're trying to connect a lot of dots that
aren't connectible," Bartlett said, adding, "It wouldn't be surprising
that Karl or other people were receiving these
complaints." Thus the "dots" are invisible and Rove is at their center."
Dana Perino is cute, in a Facist liar/whore kind of way.
But if we're going to be lied to, I'd much rather watch her lie to
us
than Forked-tongued Ari or Scotty the Underbear or Tony Munster.

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?
Delay: No to candidate Newt
Excerpt:
Gingrich's attempted phoenix-like rise from his
own political ashes to a presidential candidacy next week
will run into a harsh assessment by Tom DeLay.
The former non-felon's memoir assails Gingrich as an
"ineffective" House speaker with a flawed moral
compass.
ha ha
Delay calling Newt "immoral?"
Does the kettle get any blacker than that?
Gingrich is not the only political ally to feel
DeLay's wrath. In "Mein Kampf II," DeLay is even more critical
of Armey the Dick, and assails Bush for being
more compassionate than conservative. Even Dennis Hastert,
(R-Sweaty Wrestler) is accused along with Gingrich
and Armey of opening the door to the Demo purge of him.
I can't wait for the GOP civil war to erupt.
Now if we can just stop the lefty Democrats from their civil

Kerry and Tortureboy
Many of you wrote to demand I "stop lying" about Kerry voting to confirm Tortureboy.
First, anyone who thinks I'm lying about anything can blow me.
I make mistakes but I don't lie because it's easier to go with the
truth.
Second, Kerry's reputation is so terrible, nobody needs to lie about
him.
Third, I got that info from a letter Kerry sent to me.
Of course I can't find it now, and it's possible I misread the e-mail,
but I think I read what I read.
Did anybody else get that e-mail from Kerry, on the 12th or 13th?

Subject: Where are the Republicans Heading?
Back in the 1980s I don't remember hearing about
any Republican sex scandals.
Then in the 1990s many Republicans were caught
cheating on their wives and they were embarrassed.
Now it's the 21st century and Republicans are
not even embarrassed about cheating on their wives
because now they are having sex with male hookers
on Meth and teenage boys.
I'm not sure I like the direction that the Republican
party is heading.
What will they do in the next decade?
All I know is that I better keep my dogs tied

Blame Bill
Clinton
by Joe Conason
Excerpt:
Whatever else Bill Clinton is or was or someday
may become, he will forever remain the favorite scapegoat
for Republicans in trouble. When they're caught,
they always point at him -- just as they are doing now in the
midst of the scandal over the political dismissal
of eight U.S. attorneys and growing demands for the Gonzales
resignation. From Drudge to Fox News to the WSJ
editorial page, the usual suspects are shrieking in unison:
Bill Clinton fired a lot of U.S. attorneys too!
In fact Clinton was worse because he fired all of them at once!
And the Democrats didn't complain when Clinton
did the same thing!"

Gonzales
& Integrity
by Helen Thomas
Excerpt:
If there is one federal agency that should always
be squeaky clean, it is the Justice Department.
But under Gonzales, an embarrassing stench has
arisen in the department because of the firing of
eight U.S. attorneys...As if Gonzales does not
have enough trouble, the FBI has now been accused
of improperly using the USA Patriot Act to obtain
personal information about people in the United States.
A 126-page audit conducted by Inspector General
Glenn Fine found some FBI agents demanded
personal data and telephone records without proper
authorization. Gonzales has a lot to learn when
it comes to preserving the integrity of his office.
Pardon me, Helen, but it's not that Gonzales is slow to learn.
The son of a bitch knows exactly
what laws he's breaking but he also knows, like Scooter does, that
he'll get a pardon from the
crooked president when he gets caught.

Subject: marijuana
Yesterday's story is just sickening. There have
been a number of prosecutions of these poor people
in the last couple of years by insane, out-of-control
prosecutors. It's more important to these so-called
guardians of the public morals to hold the line
on marijuana-- simply because they consider it a "gateway"
drug that will lead to harder stuff-- than it
is to give relief and a longer life to a dying mother.
What the hell is wrong with them?
And do they plan to throw this woman in jail if
she continues
to try to make her life bearable in the only
way she can?
Gayle
The craziest part about that is when the out-of-control
prosecutor's mom gets cancer,
he will find someone to get HIS mom some pot
to help her deal with the effects of cancer
while denying others the same option. That's
how the GOP operates.

John Kerry admitted it was a mistake. Hillary

I mostly don't like her because she is the queen

Jason, thanks, but that's not the question that was asked.
The question is "Why did Dems give Kerry a pass for his vote in 2004
but then hold Her to a higher standard three years later?"
The question can't be answered without admitting I'm right.
I know what the answer is.
The answer is the war wasn't totally lost in 2004, but now it is.
So some people want Hillary to get in the time machine and go back
to 2002
and change the past and she can't do that and that's why people
are angry.
It's clearer than Lake Concha.

Subject: Kerry vs Hillary
I've been really trying to find a reason to support Hillary, but she won't let me.
In an interview this week in the New York Times,
she stated that she would
leave a small number of troops in Iraq to fight
al Qaeda, blah, blah, blah.
The difference in Kerry and Hillary is that Kerry
admits his mistake.
<much snippage>
Al C
Al, actually, the difference is She's going to be president.
It's my opinion She studied the problem and made that decision.
We talked about this in BCR 109.
I know "bring them all home now" is the left's greatest wish - but
then what?
I can hear the lefties saying, "We don't care,
bring them home,"
but "we don't care" is no way to
run America's foreign policy.
We give Ahmahanjob the two billion dollars a week Bush is stealing?
We allow Iran to overtake Iraq and slaughter every last Sunni?
The Saudis won't allow that - they'll arm the Sunnis.
I'm the last guy you should learn this from, but the Arab world is divided
into Iran's Shia
and the rest of the Arabs - and they're getting ready to go to war
because of Bush's greed.
The left and the media are harping on "She'll
stay there JUST LIKE BUSH,"
but we all know that's not true - it just sells papers and commercials
on TV.
Everything was relatively OK until Bush invaded, but running away isn't
the answer.
We have to do something besides invade, steal, rape, torture and then
run away.
*I* don't have the answers - let's hope She does.
Just asking - who has a solution besides, "We
don't care, bring them home?"
