How George
Tenet Lied
by Ray McGovern
Excerpt:
Tenet probably now wishes he had opted to just
fade away, as old soldiers used to do.
Tenet's book is a self-indictment for the crimes
with which Socrates was charged:
making the worse cause appear the better, and
corrupting the youth.
But George is not the kind to take the hemlock.
Rather, with no apparent shame, he accepted
the "Presidential Medal of Silence" in return
for agreeing to postpone his Nixon-style
"modified limited hangout" until after the mid-term
elections last November.
The $4 million advance that Tenet and Harlow took
for the book marked a shabby,
inauspicious beginning to the effort to stitch
together what remained of Tenet's tattered reputation.
Kissyface
raising money for GOP
He's our modern james Traficant
Whoops, wrong bunny.
"I hate myself!"
Excerpt:
Not only has Kissyface endorsed Susan Collins
(R-Maine.) but he's planning to
co-host a fundraiser for her on June 21 in Washington,
D.C.
The event will feature Lieberman and Sen. Arlen
Specter (R-Magic Bullet) - a very rare bipartisan fundraiser.
Attendees are being asked to raise $3,000; $2,000
would come in the form of a political action committee
donation while the other $1,000 would be a personal
contribution, according to an electronic invite.
I think Kissyface needs to tour Baghdad again.

Subject: stolen oil?
Ever consider that maybe this is a big deal because
we DIDN'T steal it?
And the oil companies are pissed off BECAUSE
they didn't get the chance? Think about it.
It's a draft American report. And you know anything
coming from the government today is twisted
to benefit the denizens of the White House. Especially
anything having to do with energy policy.
Would Cheney & his cronies be upset about
missing oil if they were the ones benefiting from the thefts?
John S
John, seriously?
Are you suggesting that two evil oil men sacrificed their reputations
in history and maybe their
political party and allies for decades to come, not to mention 3500
soldiers and 60,000 maimed
soldiers by spending over 2 trillion dollars to break into a bank -
and then not steal any money?
There is no missing oil - they know exactly where it is.
You and I don't know where it is because if we did, then Osama wins.
Can't have that.

Palast Interviews Iglesias
Excerpt:
Palast: For failing to bring the voting
cases, Iglesias paid with his job.
Iglesias: They wanted a political operative
who happened to be a US attorney, and when they got
somebody who actually took his oath to the Constitution
seriously, they were appalled and they
wanted me out of there. The two strikes against
me was, I was not political, I didn't help them out
on their bogus voter fraud prosecutions.

it from here.'"

Scary Henry
Waxman
Scary because he's not afraid
Excerpt:
Henry Waxman, the most dogged of congressional
committee chairmen, has been described by Republicans
as 'the scariest man in Washington'. Since the
Democrats took control of the House and Senate in January,
he has been in overdrive, launching inquiries
into issues ranging from global warming to White House emails,
and the one that concerns the congressman most
- Iraq. Nancy Pelosi, the House speaker, is the public face
of the new Democrat-led Congress, but Mr Waxman
is the embodiment of the pent-up release of Democratic
energy, determined to harry George Bush in his
last two years in office.
Henry Waxman - he ain't no bandleader.

Subject: Re: campaign contributions for Hilary
Bart, you wrote;
> "Maybe Hillary shouild run a campaign where she won't accept donations higher than $50."
I don't fault her for taking contributions because,
unfortunately, that's how our corrupt system works.
What we urgently need is publicly funded campaigns.
No one should be allowed to take contributions from anybody.
Everyone knows that when a company or wealthy
donor contributes to a candidate's campaign, they expect
something in return. That 'something' is
rarely in the interest of the average citizen. It reduces the candidates
to whores who become totally unresponsive to
the people (the citizens) they are supposed to represent.
Bob
Bob, that's some rare common sense you're displaying.
Some people are angry at her because she's playing by the rules.
And they'll never forgive her if she wins.

Open Letter to God
Hey God, it's Bart...
Bartcop ...from Oklahoma?
The Tequila Treehouse - you remember...
I know it's been a while, but I wanted to see if you might be up for
a deal.
What would you say to taking Jerry Falwell and letting those three
kidnapped soldiers come home?
Those Al Qaeda handjobs are killing in your name. (To be fair, Bush
is, too)
But if you let those soldiers come home, it'd be a great PR move because
from
where I'm sitting, you're the only chance they have - assuming they're
still alive.
By the way, plase don't hold Falwell's incest (His mother) against him - he was drunk at the time.
So, how about it?
It'd be a win-win for everyone.
Falwell gets to "go home," the soldiers and their families would sing
your praises forever...
The only downside is that you'd have to put up with that pompous ass.
Sidebar:
Swear to Koresh, the very second I stopped typing that last sentence,
CNN said Falwell was dead.
If those three kidnapped soldiers find their way home, ...maybe God
took the deal.

Why Iraq is so Hard
Excerpt:
Earlier this month, our Army released the results
of an internally initiated survey of soldiers in Iraq.
Almost half of our troops would condone torture
in a specific instance if it saved their buddies' lives.
The media were, of course, appalled. I was shocked,
too - surprised that so few of our troops would
condone any action that kept their comrades alive.
Torturing prisoners should never be our policy,
both because it's immoral and because it's usually
ineffective. But it's madness to declare that there
can never be exceptions.
I believe that same survey said over half would not turn in a fellow
soldier
for committing crimes such as rape and murdering innocent civilians.
War is fucking madness.
We need to get those men home.

Wolfie Gone
Wild
Goes on threatening, cursing streak
Excerpt:
An angry and bitter Paul Wolfowitz poured abuse
and threatened retaliations on senior World Bank staff
if his orders for pay rises and promotions for
his nasty-ass grunt partner were revealed, according to new details.
Sounding more like a member of the Sopranos, in
testimony by one key witness Wolfowitz declares:
"If they fuck with me or Shaha, I have enough
on them to fuck them too."
The angry comments attributed to Wolfowitz came
from damning testimony by Xavier Coll, head of human
resources at the bank. According to Coll's notes:
"Wolfowitz became increasingly agitated and said that he was
'tired of people ... attacking him' and 'you
should get your friends to stop it'. He said, 'If they fuck me or
Shaha,
I have enough on them to fuck them too'," naming
several senior bank staff he felt were vulnerable.
Wolfowitz appears before the bank's executive
board today to grovel like a prison bitch and beg for his job.

Subject: BCR Show 116 - debate with Randi Rhodes
Bart, I love you but I'm with Randi on this Hillary thing.
Kerry was a nightmare but he did admit, as Edwards
does, that his vote to give the monkey authorization
to go into Iraq was a mistake, and he regretted
it. Kerry is clearly on the record on that. Even in retrospect,
Hillary has never said her vote was a mistake,
and I'm sorry but I have to wonder why not.
My wife Jen reminds me that as a woman Hillary
has to show everyone that she's tough; I think she's getting
tons of AIPAC money, and I wouldn't be shocked
if she's getting tons of corporate war profiteer money as well.
But the bottom line on this is Hillary has never
said her Iraq vote was wrong, that it was a mistake that she regretted.
Kerry managed to do that, Edwards does it, Hillary
doesn't. Why not?
I'm guessing you didn't approach that debate with
an open mind.
If you hate Hillary's guts, no amount of facts
will change your mind - am I correct?
The fact is she has apologzed for her vote by
saying she would've voted the other way if she
knew then what she knows now. That's an admission
- but you want her to say the words.
Isn't that right?
You want to see her grovel?
The words "I'm
sorry" won't bring any soldiers back AND
it won't win her a single vote,
so why do people claim they really, really want
her to say those words if it changes nothing?.
I respect your views on Hillary and just as you
don't like to disagree with Randi, I don't like
to disagree with you. If Hillary becomes the
Dem. nominee she will be very hard NOT to vote for.
But I don't trust her and I don't forgive her,
and despite some of the weirdness of Randi's rant
(I don't think Hillary was going to be killed
if she voted against the war) I think she's right to ask
the question, how can Hillary say she didn't
know when so many of her other colleagues
(Leahy, Durbin etc) somehow managed to at least
suspect that Bush - imagine! - was full of shit.
Love you Bart,
Your Proud Subscriber,
Dave R
Dave, did you listen to the entire debate?
You must have missed the closer, which was this:
If "everybody" knew for sure that the war was a hueueueueueuge
mistake,
why didn't a single Dem senator filibuster the vote to authorize
Bush to use force?
The answer is clearer than Lake Concha - they
didn't know.
One can't argue with that conclusion - can one?
If they KNEW and failed to act,
that cowardice is worse than anything Hillary's been accused of.
Four years after the fact, it's really easy to say
"everybody knew,"
but the facts prove no Democratic senators were certain enough to stand
up.

McNulty
Resigns
Gonzales's top aide too honest for Bush Justice Dept
Excerpt:
McNulty has been considering leaving for months,
he claims. He said his decision to step down was hastened by
frustration over the prosecutors' purge that
Congress is investigating to determine if eight U.S. attorneys were fired
for political reasons, according to Justice officials
familiar with his thinking.
McNulty also irked Gonzales by testifying in February
that at least one of the fired prosecutors was ordered to make way
for a protege of Karl Rove. Gonzales, who has
resisted lawmakers' calls to resign, maintains the firings were proper,
and rooted in the prosecutors' lackluster performances.
Two other former Justice Department officials
- Gonzales chief of staff Kyle Sampson and White House liaison
Monica Goodling - have resigned in the past two
months while the head snake stays on.
"It seems ironic that Paul McNulty, who at least
tried to level with the committee, goes while Gonzales,
who stonewalled the committee, is still in charge,"
said Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

Raping the Poor - because it's easy
Excerpt:
Inside U.S. companies' audacious drive to extract
more profits from the nation's working poor...
In recent years, a range of businesses have made
financing more readily available to even the
riskiest of borrowers. Greater access to credit
has put cars, computers, credit cards, and even
homes within reach for many more of the working
poor. But this remaking of the marketplace
for low-income consumers has a dark side: Innovative
and zealous firms have lured unsophisticated
shoppers by the hundreds of thousands into a
thicket of debt from which many never emerge.

Subject: your 9-11 craziness
I agree that Bush is a complete moron as a President.
You're starting out great.
However, this fascination with "9/11 as a Bush
Administration conspiracy" is based on nothing more
than hatred, ignorance of the facts and wild
speculation, resulting in the dishonor of those who died that day.
Wrong.
We know for a fact that the Bush administration
has gone to great lengths to hide the truth about 9-11.
That makes logical people suspicious - does that
group include you?
Bush being stupid and militant nutjobs who fly planes full of passengers into buildings are not mutually-exclusive.
That looks like a fact, so I'll accept it.
Stop pretending to be an engineer, forensic scientist,
etc. ("well then why didn't the other windows blow out?!").
Give the rest of us a break, will you?
First, you've got the wrong guy.
On the 9-11 conspiracy nut scale of 1-10, I'm
at most a 2.
We know they're lying, we just don't know
what they're covering up.
Second, since we know they're lying, it makes
inconsistencies a little more glaring.
If a plane crashes into a building on Floors
80 thru 85, and the windows blow out
on Floor 40 before they blow out on Floor 42,
I'm going to ask why.
Third, your intentions are unclear but you seem
to be saying Bush is so stupid that he,
and everyone connected to him must be innocent
concerning the events of 9-11.
That's a far large leap of logic than anything
you've read on bartcop.com
You have to remember that 9-11 is the excuse for:
Why we became a nation that
turtures
Why we built secret prisons
in Eastern Europe.
Why Bush ignores the Constitution
Why Bush breaks whatever laws
he wants
Why Bush can funnel money secretly
to people and it's none of our business
Why Bush is reading Hillary's
e-mails, looking at every check she's ever written,
listening to her phone conversation and possibly
bugging her home and office.
Why we invaded an oil rich country
and claimed )legally) that their oil belongs to Bush.
The list is endless
Since we know they're lying about 9-11 AND we know they use that horrible
day
as an excuse to cover up their crimes, it makes a logical man want
to ask more questions.
If you want to stake your reputation that evil men would not
kill for unlimited money and power,
then you and I are at polar opposites on the subject.
If you're so angry at those who create death for
their own political agendas,
you should give equal weight to those d'bags
that thought Allah had 72 virgins waiting for them,
but only if they blow up a lot of everyday people
doing everday things.
Ericurb
Ericurb, no telling what that last sentence was supposed to mean, so
I'll guess:
I believe all religions are
frauds that the bad people sell to the weak, the scared and
the stupid.
I believe Bush has more regard
for human life than Al Qaeda, but that bar is very low.
Anyone who believes they'll
get a reward after they die needs to leave all their money to me.
I will guarantee you 5000
virgins after you die - totally super guaranteed.

Snap! Growl!
Excerpt:
I recently skimmed the writing of a few far left
libbies on the net. They snapped and snarled,
verbally dragging republicans through muck and
mire, accusing them, among other things, of being Nazis.
They missed the target.
The Nazis in this country work for the IRS. These
people are above the law: they can seize property
and freeze assets without due process, bring
citizens to a special "tax court" where the tax payer must
prove his innocence or pay large sums in lieu
of jail time, and, if they want to, show up in the middle
of the night and throw people out of their homes.
I want most fervently to see the IRS gone and its
people out looking for honest work.
