"Let me say, like Hillary, (What?)
I misspoke. Let me just say 'Zionists'.
I'm not talking about all Jews, all
people of the Jewish faith, I'm talking about Zionists.
I'm not talking about emotionally charged
words... They can jump on that one phrase
if they want to, but they can't undo history
and the facts..."
-- Jeremiah Wright, digging
the hole deeper and deeper, Link
Hey Jeremiah, maybe it's time for you to shut the fuck up.
We know you love the spotlight and we know you want to hurt Obama.
You think he betrayed you, but what else could he do?
You're a f-ing loon and you're poison to any policitian
who claims to know you.
Maybe you should do more praying and less talking.

The New Face of the GOP
Excerpt:
There’s been a lot of talk lately among Republicans
about the need to find a new face for our party. Rush Limbaugh
and Dick Cheney are, let’s face it, a bit scary.
John Boehner looks like he wants to sell you a used car and Mitch the Bitch
looks like he's the accountant who’s explaining
to you why you can’t afford the car that Boehner's trying to get you to
buy.
So we Republicans have a Face Gap with the Democrats, who have the best face of all in Obama.
Well, I think I’ve found the new face of the Republican
Party. It’s not a new one, entirely, and it’s been
hiding out on national television every weekday
morning from six to nine. Joe Scarborough."
Perfect!
The guy who murdered
the intern should be the face of the GOP.
Maybe Scarborough could get Larry "Wide stance" Craig could run as his VP?

Palin made
it a Rape Joke
"Letterman should apologize to all women!"
Excerpt:
Sarah Palin says David Letterman owes an apology
to all women for his joke about her daughter.
The swimsuit model, continuing a feud with Letterman
over his joke earlier this week that Palin's daughter
got "knocked up" by Alex Rodriguez during their
recent trip to New York.
It was a stupid joke.
My guess is the writers heard Palin took "her daughter" to the Yankees
game and they made the wrong connection.
It was a stupid joke - but why has Palin chosen to go to war with Letterman?
Doesn't she remember what Dave did to McCain?
He hammered him unmercilessly for weeks and weeks.
You can't win a fight with a comedian.
Doesn't she remember what Jon Stewart did to that Cramer dude?
Remember the old saying, "Don't pick a fight
with someone who buys their ink by the barrel?"
Dave has more viewers than any newspaper in America.
If Palin was in the political fight of her life - down 20 points with
a month to go - it might
make sense to taunt a comedian but she's not in that situation so what
the hell is she thinking?
Dave could make her the focus of his jokes for six months and she'll lose that battle.
Fact:
Palin is a proponent of "Just say no to birth
control" and Bristol is proof that doesn't work
so that makes pregnant teenagers Palin's problem, not Dave's.
Fact:
This is a rerun of that fake "Lipstick on a Pig" horseshit.
Obama used that phrase to ridicule McCain's economic policies and Palin
replied with,
"How dare Obama call me and all women pigs!"
If I was advising Palin, I'd get her off of this real fast. Maybe these
tactics work great
back in the Meth Capital of Alaska but they don't work in the lower
forty-eight.
Fact:
Dave tried to make this go away by inviting Palin on his show. She
declined and her husband added,
"Plus, it would be wise to keep Willow away
from David Letterman,"
All that stuff I said above about not picking a fight with a comedian?
Suggesting - intentionally - that Letterman is a rapist escalates
this fight to a whole 'nother level.
Bottom Line: Was Dave's joke in appropriate?
Yes, but I'm sure it was unintentional.
Dave did a joke about being pregnant, then the Palins elevated that
to this weird "Rape Fest"
that can only lead to trouble - why can't they see that?
Her insistence that this is about rape is off-target at best.
Dave did a sex joke - Palin made it a rape joke.
Why do the Palins want a fight with Dave?
Fact:
I enjoy watching Republicans screw themselves.

Bart, dude, definitely go with the radio route.
As much as I love the daily hit of the Bartcop
Page, you have got to make money too.
Myself, I have only listened to one lone radio
program that was there as a sample a few years ago,
and it totally got me in an appreciation mode
as to what you are doing beyond the fact that I was
already a regular Bartcop reader, hearing your
voice and your laugh and all, like you were
expressing the sentiment, "Can you believe this
shit?".
So, it might force my hand, get me to ante up
and get in league with Bartcop Radio or be left behind.
I still think you should be putting your energies
into Bartcop Radio, there is much more promise there.

Housekeeping The Problem
Subject: Tequila Treehouse suggestions
Hey Bart!
Greetings from the land of the unemployed!
I'm awfully glad that I got my subscription paid
up until the end of 2012 (I think)
with all that tequila long ago - one of the few
financial gambles that has paid off for me.
I have some suggestions:
- Get one of the speech recognition programs out
there - some of them are even free!
- and use it to create the bits for the
page.
- Most of these programs will read web pages,
and some of them transcribe stuff too.
Put transcripts of your BCR shows on the
members page as a further incentive to subscribe.
- Put out a regular call to Bartcop readers to
call you and talk about a topic.
Put some of them in the members section,
and put a regular feature into the
BCR shows that highlights the best calls
you get about the topic du jour.
Sorry to hear that things are getting hairy at
the Tequila Treehouse.
Hope you find a way to make it all work.
And thanks for all that voodoo that you do -
it helps to keep us going.
Tom the Pillar in Pontiac
Tom, those were excellent suggestions.
I especially want to get The Bart Phone back into the radio shows.
Call the
BartPhone 1-800-530-2979 and leave your
2 minute message or question or joke or impression to be played on
BCR.
If you screw it up, just say it again and I'll edit the bad part out.

Quotes
"If a conservative comedian had made such jokes
about Chelsea Clinton when
she was a teenager, wouldn't
the media have demanded an apology? Instead,
the reaction was more 'Tee hee, look
what that naughty Letterman said.' "
--
Howie the Whore on CNN, Link
First, there are no conservative comedians.
Conservatives don't know how to be funny - they only know how
to be evil douchebags.
Letterman wasn't trying to be cruel, he just got the wrong daughter.
Second, Chelsea never got pregnant because her parents
aren't insane hypocrites.
Like it or not, Palin is paying the price for her hypocrisy.
Third, who are the media people who are saying "Tee
hee?"
Why don't you have the courage to name names, Howie?
Howie, you're such a dirty whore and you've always been
a dirty whore.
You being a media watchdog is like putting Rush in charge of
racial sensitivity.

Subject: Page vs BartCop radio
Tough call. I look forward to an everyday page
and am disappointed, but understanding,
on the days you don't post a page. Daily
pages have fresh material and the back and forth
between you and your readers is great,
especially when you post MonkeyMail.
On the other hand, a daily or maybe 3 or 4 times
a week show, would be awesome.
BCR is freakin' great, from your politics and
humor to the great music you mix in with the show.
If the radio show were more frequent then you
could employ more member verbal commentary on current events.
Leaving a message to comment on the prev show
would be cool to do. Maybe you could be in a situation where
you could have a scheduled show time where members
could call in live - wouldn't that be something?
All-in-all, as a member, I will support whatever
you decide is best for you personally and professionally.
I, of course, want 7 days a week of both
the page and BCR. But then, you are only human.
Keep hammering the fascist pigs and spineless
dems!

Yo Bart - I just subscribed. Need you to keep
it up. The fascists/repukes are as stupid as ever,
and their crimes against America (two stolen
elections), crimes against humanity, mass murderer

Thanks for the unrelenting, reliable hammer that

My vote is for primary focus on the web page (hope
your hands and arms feel better,

fun, the pictures made me feel like

Obama's
War on Poker
He's not busy with real problems?
Join the Poker Players Alliance
Excerpt:
Online, David won a seat to the Main Event of
the World Series of Poker.
Actually, he won a $10,000 check and they told
him to cash it and buy his own ticket.
But the check bounced because
Obama's
Justice Department says poker is a crime.
If I was less loyal I could make a looooooooong list of
mistakes Obama is making
but I don't want to come off as being as pitiful as David Sirota.
But sending your goons after poker players means what - we've captured
bin Laden?
Really, Barack?
You have agents chasing after poker players that could be looking for bin Laden?
Poker isn't a crime, Mr. President,
but the murders of 3,000 New
Yorkers is.
Why aren't your agents working
on that?
In 1998-99 Ken Starr had 700 FBI agents combing Arkansas for trailer
trash hussies
who were willing to lie about our president - agents that could have
been investigating
why those young Arab pilots-in-training never bothered to learn how
to land.
I don't want Obama to be another Ken Starr.
I want Obama to use his head and set his priorities straight.
Republicans think oral sex is worse than 4300 dead soldiers.
Does Obama think poker is worse than 3,000 dead New Yorkers?
Sidebar:
Don't write and try to straighten me out.
You just thought I was stubborn about Eminem.
Compared to poker, I was Harry Reid on Eminem (not a compliment)
And don't tell me this is some "banking issue."
This is about killing poker and gambling and that's horseshit.
Funny how you can mortgage your house and buy GM stock,
you can take your kid's college fund and buy a topless dancing club
but playing dollar poker online is "dangerous" and must be stopped?
Republicans hate poker because they're religiously insane.
What's Obama's excuse?

Coleman owes Franken $95,000 ...and counting
Excerpt:
A court ruled that Norm Coleman (Rat Bastard)
owes Al Franken (D) $95,000 for the U.S. Senate trial.
Coleman owes the cash because Minnesota law dictates
that the loser (That would be Norm Coleman)
pay the winner's (That would be Al Franken) court
costs in an election contest. Because Coleman sued
to overturn Franken's lead, he owes Franken's
costs.
A Coleman whore said they "wouldn't pay the costs
until the state Supreme Court rules on the appeal."
That decision means the $95,000 will tick up
for each day it remains unpaid.
Fine - run the bill up into the millions.
Each day you pout and throw a tantrum costs you
money and hurts your already-bad reputation.
Nobody likes a loser, Norm.
Nobody likes a sore loser, Norm.
Nobody likes a sore loser who can't accept defeat,
Norm.

She was
found on the waterfront. Strangled, murdered for thrills.
The victim
was a student and a high-end escort.
The case
cools until another escort is murdered.
Then the
killer mocks the police and promises more death.
This third
entry in the Hastings series is equal parts thriller and procedural.
The killer's
cat-and-mouse game with Hastings is disturbingly rendered.
Most unsettling
is the killer’s “niceness.” Darkly entertaining.

Gitmo Escapee Kills 5,600 using hellish flames
Excerpt:
What began as the normal transportation of a
Guantanamo Bay detainee to the United States ended in chaos
and destruction today, as prisoner Ahmed Khalfan
Ghailani easily escaped custody and leveled 15 New York City
blocks, killing and injuring over 30,000 people.
Authorities say Ghailani used a combination of terrorist training
and telekinetic powers to unleash a wave of supervillainy
on New York.
"We knew those Guantanamo bastards were supercriminals,
but how can any city defend against a terrorist
who can levitate 100 feet in the air, and shoot
fireballs out of nowhere?" said NYPD commissioner Raymond Kelly,
pounding his fists in frustration. "The worst
that we all feared is now happening. God help this nation now."
Kelly referenced the fact that many politicians
and American citizens have long been concerned that bringing
detainees from Guantanamo to American soil could
have dire consequences. Ghailani himself acknowledged
their concerns, laughing as he summoned a large
dragon demon named Kluulorth from the Hudson River.
"Only that wretched super prison Guantanamo could
hold me," Ghailani hissed
"Now that I'm out of there, my powers have only
grown exponentially."
"You fools," he added, giggling. "You unbelievable
fools."
Rush and Hannity tried to warn us about Obama
- but we wouldn't listen.

Boutique hotel may open in Colorado Springs
Excerpt:
A recent trend in hotels has yet to make it to
Colorado Springs, but that may soon change.
Now Perry Sanders is trying to restore
a bit of the lost history and create some competition for the Antlers.
He plans to renovate the Mining Exchange Building
and turn it into a boutique hotel.
A good idea with one problem: Sanders would like
to be excluded from most of the
new sales and lodging taxes the city charges
all hotels.

Fascist Dogs have Self-Esteem Problems
Excerpt:
The Republican Party is in need of a leader and
a boost in its self-esteem, a new poll suggests.
Nearly half of Republicans in a poll failed to
name someone when asked who is the party's spokesperson.
Of the names mentioned, only the Pigboy and serial
cheater Newt Gingrich broke single digits.
Former Vice President and current dick Dick Cheney
was close behind, at 9 percent.
Among Democrats surveyed, just 17 failed to identify a party spokesperson.
What?
Seventeen percent of Democrats don't know who
the president is?
How do they know they're Democrats if they don't
know Obama?
Sixty-seven percent of Democrats named Obama as main person who speaks for their party.
Koresh! Now we're up to 33 percent don't know
who Obama is?
Are these the same people who can't find America
on a world map?
Republicans have been forced to rebuild after
suffering demoralizing losses in 2006 and 2008.
Democrats control the White House, Congress and
more gubernatorial seats. The blows seem to have
taken a toll on the Fascist dogs. A third of
Republicans said they have an unfavorable view of the GOP."
ha ha
One third of Republicans hate themselves?
With good f-ing reason!
If I was a women-hating, Black-hating, gay-hating, immigrant-hating,
America-hating Fascist dog
I'm pretty sure I'd hate myself, too.

Hey Bart,
Not only did Reagan murder Gadhafi's infant daughter,
he then used the rope
he'd been handed and hanged himself by defending
the action with,
"Well, she wasn't really his daughter, you know.

That pretty much sums up the monstrous nature

"Number one, if the penguin’s gay, leave the
penguin alone. God made the penguin that way and I agree - I mean,
I’m not one of these guys who thinks you should
be converting anybody to anything. If you’re that way, and you’re
not hurting anybody. So who cares?...If
they’re happy, they’re happy. That’s my philosophy."
-- psycho Bill O'Reilly, Link
"If only O’Reilly were as tolerant of gay humans;
alas, his record shows quite a different picture:
In O’Reilly’s world, gay penguins should
be left alone, but gay people should be mocked, reviled, and censored."
-- Ali Fridk,

"So, if gay people just walked around in tuxedos,
would O'Reilly ease up on them?"

Holes in a pot argument
The ultimate cost of legalizing pot is too high Opinion, June 7
Really?
If Kevin A. Sabet thinks that people want to try
pot but haven't done so
merely because it's illegal, he really needs
to get out more.
People who want to try marijuana will do so. Legality has little bearing on it.
I have never tried pot and never will unless I need it to get through chemotherapy -- legal or not.
I hope that in 10 years, we can look back at the
"war on drugs"
and see it for what it is: a ridiculously archaic
way of thinking.

Avril Lavigne is Satan
She's more like Satan's cute daughter
Excerpt:
"Keep the heathen out!" chanted one woman at
a recent protest demonstration. "Keep
Satan away!"
"I heard on the news that she is what's known
as a 'punk musician'," Sue said with disgust.
"I can just imagine her strange-colored hair
and lyrics about eating Satan's babies.
That kind of liberal stuff might fly in
New York City, but not here."
"Look at her eyes!" shouted one mother of two.
"Look at the eye makeup! She
wants to rape my boys!" ha
ha
""I just can't believe how bad things are today!
It's end of days!
I heard one of her songs
say something like, 'Why'd you have to make things
so complicated?'" recalled Jo Jack Jeb, owner
of Jeb's Tavern And Gunshop. ha
ha What the hell
is so complicated about living in this
country? Sounds pretty anti-American to me."
I agree
Anyone who sees a relationship getting more complicated
is definitely al Qaeda.
