Sorry, QL in NY, I show up sporadically, post infrequently, yet somehow manage to get my fuck bush™ first on a fresh thread. Go figure.
The Franken/Conason smackdown on Ed Klein was a thing of beauty.
So, if Cunningham sold his digs backk home, and is living in a slip in DC, is he still a resident of the district he represents?
That is a big question no one has answered yet...
"Because there is never enough thread."
is 'thread' supposed to be 'bread'?
advertising and news are now clearly conjoined
yesterday evening on the MSNBC website the article on mad cow disease not only ran a headline saying that the US food supply was safe [hey don't worry that we still feed cow blood and offal to cows -- no problems there -- don't look at that man behind the curtain]
BUT they had a subhead [which has been taken down] that said 'Beef, it's still whats for dinner' -- a beef industry slogan heading an article about how the industry is failing to safeguard the US food supply [or IS doing so if you belief this industry spin as news]
i just re-listened to the Klein takedown again.
Joe Conason doesn't suffer right-wing liars, does he?
Bush Presidency: F-I-E-R-Y W-R-E-C-K!!!
The Franken/Conason smackdown on Ed Klein was a thing of beauty.
I saw it too and agree, but worry about the "all publicity is good publicity" axiom. This Klein schmuck doesn't even fake "smart" very well. What slop.

Renato, it's even more fun when you can witness Joe doing it in person -- as I did last year at a local bookstore! Having met Joe Conason, all I can say is that if it weren't for the fact that we're both taken and I'm probably not his type, I'd have kidnapped him ages ago.
Meanwhile, since the Russ Baker/Judith Chalabi Miller thread is dead, I wanted to use this thread to point out that it's actually The TEXAS REPUBLICAN Oil-for-Food Scandal.
Ah, the GOP sure are examaperts on fightin' wars:
"
The attack, which raised the death toll among U.S. military members since the beginning of the war to 1,732, came as Americans have grown increasingly concerned about a conflict that has shown no signs of abating.
In his radio address Saturday, Bush urged Americans to share in Iraqis' confidence.
"The Iraqi people are growing in optimism and hope," Bush said. "They understand that the violence is only a part of the reality in Iraq."
The relentless carnage from the Sunni Arab-dominated insurgency has killed more than 1,263 people since April 28, when al-Jaafari announced his Shiite-dominated government."
Newsday.
Proof Bush is totally delusional:
"The Iraqi people are growing in optimism and hope," Bush said. "They understand that the violence is only a part of the reality in Iraq."
From the thread below, and with thanks to Gimlet:
I smell a conspiracy.
Given the latency before BSE shows up in humans, does the business friendly Bush administration think they can hide an existing problem or quietly dispose of infected stock while standards are put in place behind the scenes?
This article was from March a year ago.
From USA Today 3-25-04
Creekstone Farms Premium Beef is a small producer of high-quality beef in Kansas. But it's making a big point about mad cow disease. It wants to privately test all of the cattle it slaughters for the illness, which can cause a fatal brain disease in humans who eat infected meat.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) currently does not allow such private testing for mad cow disease. And it claims that a new government testing system it approved this month is perfectly adequate.
Other beef producers and the USDA say going beyond the new system is unnecessary. But hundreds of seemingly healthy cattle in Europe have tested positive for mad cow disease.
Americans are willing to fund a higher level of reassurance. A January poll by the Consumers Union showed that 95% of adults would pay 10 cents more a pound for tested beef. Testing every slaughtered cow would cost about six cents per pound.

Does Bush believes what he says anymore? he seems totally divorced from reality.
Who will be the next Dem to apologize? And will dems end up apologizing for Karl Rove
A couple of reports I read of the carnage yesterday failed to mention that the American victims were female. Now I am a feminist and certainly believe that every life lost is a tragedy, but shouldn't someone, somewhere be making great hay out of the fact that the party that wants to return women to kitchen is the party that is sending them out to die in combat?
he seems totally divorced from reality.
Seems???
"Proof Bush is totally delusional:"
That, and thinking he's God personified.
The Real Son must be totally pissed about now.

Bush can't be divorced from reality. Marriage between a Republican and reality is not legal.

Here's a link for the trolls: 49% Say Bush Responsible for Provoking Iraq War--44% Say Hussein
From CampusProgress.org, a report from this years CRNC.
JiaMei Chen is a Chinese Republican from California and a student at American River College (also in CA).
Me: What makes you a Republican?
JC: Well my family is a big influence on it, but also all the different stuff I’ve seen and stuff. You know what, you probably gotta excuse my language when I talk about liberals. I grew up in Shanghai, right, and China's a Communist country, right? When I got over here I saw there’s a two party system, liberals and conservatives, democrats and republicans, right? But all the liberals really stand for is social welfare, support all the laziness, socialists, free this and free that – tax all the hardworking people, give it away for nothing, you know? People just sit around, just sit on their butt all day and don’t do nothing. They drive a brand new Cadillac and stuff! What about the hard-working-class people? And we get taxed 50% out of our pocket, you know? I mean that’s socialist, right? So, that’s the reason I just think that you know what liberals just don’t make sense. Also probably the religious belief. I won’t vote for a single person that is pro-choice.
Bush is channeling the spirit of King George III with his bouts of insanity.
QL--you're seeing a lot of very subtle pushes (maybe not so subtle) to get women out of the public sphere. Much has been made of the fact that women in combat were killed, and it is a tragedy. But the Family and Medical Leave Act looks as if it's going to be rolled back. Where does that leave all of us?
How are those insurgents' last throes going?

Do you approve or disapprove of the way the Bush Administration has conducted the war in Iraq?
41% Approve
56% Disapprove
http://www.pollingreport.com/iraq.htm
The out come is not the problem. The ruinous way bush's war is being handled is.
Big provides the smack down:
In the Democratic radio response, Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser in the Carter administration, alleged that the war has been conducted with "tactical and strategic incompetence."
"Two years later, America finds itself more isolated than ever before, the object of unprecedented international mistrust," Brzezinski said. "As a result, we are not as safe as we should be here at home."
He said the war has turned Iraq into a training ground for terrorists and noted that Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, has not been captured. "The violence in Iraq continues at increasing rates and American casualties continue to mount," Brzezinski said.

Morning, Moonbats.
I love it now when W comes out to defend his plans, policies, wars, and schemes -- because I think to the average American he seems increasingly out of touch (since he can't be divorced from) reality. The old lies and lying isn't working as well anymore as we see from his plummeting poll numbers. And now the lies will become more evident to average people, those who wanted to be believe for so long that the president could not be a weaselly fuckwit. His now obvious continuing lies just reinforces the fact that he IS a liar. Today, I seem to see a ray of hope that we have indeed reached the long-awaited tipping point....

This is a wedge issue. Social conservatives are NOT happy with women in combat (and recently tried to have them removed). Right now, these women are there under some sort of legal fiction: "attached" rather than "assigned" to units or some such non-sense.
Just keep talking about the facts. They can't stand it.

How about this poll from the American Research Group?
A total of 60% of registered voters in America say they disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling the economy while 63% of all Americans rate the national economy as bad, very bad, or terrible according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 37% say they approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 59% disapprove.
When it comes to the way Bush is handling his job as president, 42% of Americans approve, 53% disapprove, and 5% are undecided. Among Americans registered to vote, 42% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 53% disapprove.
I agree with Atrios, everyone has posted on this, but it's just so god damn fun...
Here is my take on the Chickenhawk Youth if any are interested...

Karl Rove is desparately trying to deflect attention away from White House failures.
We've invaded and occupied two countries.
Corporations and the super-rich have reaped huge windfalls.
The CIA and FBI have near carte-blanche to engage in domestic spying.
Elections have increasingly been co-opted and privatized.
Job loss and fear have been successfully used to discipline the American people suffering an "excess of democracy."
Sounds like mission accomplished to me.
But Sallyh, please no roasted Repug on a spit.

My suggestion for a new Democratic strategy.
"Rove says liberals want American soldiers to die."
Democratic response: "In the words of our esteemed vice-president, 'Go fuck yourself.'"
"Republicans call for Durbin to apologize."
Dem response: "In the words of our esteemed vice-president, 'Go fuck yourself.'"
And so on.

Mike in PR--I have Canadian maple syrup. And there's nothing but real butter served at Chez H.
nobody, I first noticed the change in that story this morning, although it did report that 4 were *missing*.
As someone said on another thread, missing here means blown to bits and as yet unidentified.

"The givers of life are the whetstone!"

rethug moral values and the "liberal media":
House Approves Cuts to Labor Programs
The cuts are the result of Bush's tight budget for federal programs outside of the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security. Congress hewed to Bush's demands when passing its budget in April and is implementing an almost 1 percent cut to domestic programs through passage of 11 spending bills.
In practice, that translates to an 84 percent cut — from $300 million down to $47 million — in training programs for doctors and nurses, and $806 million in cuts to Bush's No Child Left Behind education initiative, a more than 3 percent drop. Grants for local community-action agencies that help the poor would be cut in half, to $320 million.

Department of Homeland Security under funded:
http://www.democrats.org/special...and_insecurity/
VA under funded:
The Department of Veterans Affairs has delivered a $1 billion shock to the congressional budget process, admitting there is not enough money in its 2005 or 2006 budgets to continue providing health care to all eligible veterans.
“It is appalling, but not surprising,” said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who had tried earlier this year to get more money for the VA. She promised to try again with an emergency funding bill that would provide $1.98 billion.

Unbelieveable.
I bet Lori Piestewa would be surprised to know that that is news...
Nah. He's said this before.
Yeah, pie, I realize that. Zbig is a hardass that would tell them to fuck a firecracker in a New York minute.
I just couldn't resist.
It's pretty sad when the Dems are to chickenshit to rebut the Bush Boy's horseshit, instead opting to bring back old Zbig, who is not currently serving in office and is pretty much untouchable.

Is there a fundy spin on BSE like there is on AIDS?
If you want shrill don't read this.
Big's take on us, US:
I find it appalling that when we went into Iraq we did not know if they had weapons of mass destruction. We thought they had weapons of mass destruction based largely on extrapolation. But that also means that our commanders in the field went into battle without any knowledge of the Iraqi WMD order of battle.
...
Ultimately at issue, and I end on this, is the relationship between the new requirements of security and the traditions of American idealism. We have for decades and decades played a unique role in the world because we were viewed as a society that was generally committed to certain ideals and that we were prepared to practice them at home and to defend them abroad.
Today for the first time our commitment to idealism worldwide is challenged by a sense of security vulnerability. We have to be very careful in that setting not to become self-centered, preoccupied only with ourselves and subordinate everything else in the world to an exaggerated sense of insecurity.
We are going to live in an insecure world. It cannot be avoided. We have to learn to live in it with dignity, with idealism, with steadfastness.

Yeah, the heart and brain he's been lacking his whole life have finally become available.
Here's what I don't get. Everybody knows that weapon inspectors were in Iraq doing methodical checks I assume. We also kept hearing how Saddam was moving supposed weapons all over the place. Then there wass the story about how the main guy went over to Saddams side cos he got paid. But even after him they still had that Austrian guy was it that said as far as he could tell things were cool. Why does everyone then go w/ the idea that Yep, Saddam has em alright.

did anyone hear armitage on NPR talking about how the price paid to terrorists in Iraq has dropped? he said they were paying them or their families (if they were a "homicide" bomber, as FOX news hilariously dubbed them) less then they (whoever they are) were paying at the beginning of the insurgency.
armitage's logic was that this was because they were losing. armitage is insane, and he would make a suplly-sider angry. the price dropped because it's a buyer's market. there's too many of these fuckers. they don't have to give them as much money because they've got the wal-mart effect working. it's the market in action.
i guess these creeps should be happy, they're getting these other gross creeps to behave in a market fashion that they expect. unfortunately, the market they work in is killing our troops that shouldn't be there in the first place.

What I don't understand is I haven't seen or heard anything about Cheney being hospitalized on the national news sites?
The story is he's in to have an old football injury looked at, so if he is really in hospital and that is what they're telling the Press Corps, then they won't make a big deal of it.
Of course if Cheney is really in for something more some serious I'm sure some intrepid investigator from the sceptical, indpendant Liberal Media will risk his seat on Air Force One to uncover the Truth.

I didn't know that that was what Fielding Mellish meant the other night. My heart goes out to him for his loss.
All I could think of was that bit from Sideways about Merlot.
After seeing that movie, I'll take the merlot. I saw nothing remotely charming about the two asshole characters - the compulsive lying Peter Pan who cheats on his fiance and the alcoholic with an anger management problem who steals from his own mother...Yuck.
The movie was OK, it was an interesting story. I just don't know how those two losers could boost the sale of Pinot Noir any more than the two characters from Midnight Cowboy could boost tourism to New York.

if you're really so insecure that you need to react this way, maybe you should take the time to figure out why.

Vice President Dick Cheney was taken to the cardiac unit of the Vail Valley Medical Center Friday. Contrary to Associated Press reports that he went to see orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Steadman, at the Steadman Hawkins clinic for a knee injury, Vice President Cheney passed through the Steadman Hawkins clinic and the Colorado Mountain Medical Center to get to the cardiac unit to see Dr. Jack Eck and his team. The Vice President checked into the hospital under the name of Dr. Hoffman.

UPDATE: Cheney’s Health: What is the White House Hiding?
VAIL -- Why is the White House still insisting that the only health issue Vice President Cheney dealt with today is an old football injury to his knee, visiting renowned orthopedist Dr. Richard Steadman? At the Vail Valley Institute dinner tonight, I kept asking what those in the know here knew. Little by little, here is the story I pieced together: After the Secret Service secured the Vail Valley Medical Center, including the parking lot, the Vice President arrived under his own power and checked in at the orthopedic center under the name “Dr. Hoffman”. He was immediately whisked to the adjacent cardiac unit, suffering from what was described to me as “an angina attack”. The security was so high that a Secret Service agent wouldn’t let an ER nurse out of the bathroom that she had gone into just before the Veep arrived. “Get back in there,” the agent told her. Confounded, she called her husband on her cell phone, telling him “something big” was going on. And indeed it was… but you wouldn’t know it from the White House. It appears that not only doesn’t the public deserve to know what is really going on in Iraq (“last throes”?) we don’t deserve to know what is going on with our Vice President’s health.
For more on the long history of the the administration's obfuscation regarding Cheney's heart condition, read my March 7, 2001 column.

Billy Graham came to NY this weekend just in time for gay pride. I wonder if he will be co-grand marshall of the parade along with Carson Kressley?
BTW...The NYTimes has been sucking Graham and his followers off all week with big cover stories about Graham's "last crusade." Fuck the NYT (and Graham, who is responsible, in part, for the preznitwit's faux-Christianity).

Since someone else told a joke, and it is an open thread:
A couple of Texans are out in the woods hunting when
one of them suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground.
He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head.
The other Texan whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps
to the operator, "I think Bubba is dead! What should I do?"
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and
follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's 'dead'."
There is a silence..........then a shot is heard.
The Texan's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"
I'm sorry to hear about Fielding's daughter. How awful it is for a parent to lose a child. It's not the way we think it will happen.

Jumping ahead:
footloose: The advice regarding matching the wine to the food is best. If meat is the main dish, a hearty red(zinfandel, syrah, or cabernet) is hard to beat. If it's fish or chicken, a lighter red(pinot) or a nice chardonnay or a reisling(if tastes run a little sweeter) are excellent.

According to Kitty Kelley's book, that's another Bush lie. She says he was actually shown the way to Jebus by a really wacked out evangelist (and has quotes from her interview with the evangelist), but uses a much later conversation with Graham to claim conversion because Graham is more acceptable to the mainstream.

another brutal review, courtesy of the latimes:
Klein's 'Truth' is simply sordid
Tim Rutten
Regarding Media
June 25, 2005
Every once in a while, something hits your desk and makes you wonder whether there really isn't an argument to be made for book burning.
Edward Klein's "The Truth About Hillary" — a purported biography of the New York senator and former first lady, which arrived this week — is precisely that sort of something.
Prurient in its focus, shameless in its methodology and vile in execution, this volume is a near-perfect example of what has come to be called "bio-porn," a particularly noxious subgenre of the polemic literature that nowadays infests our bestseller lists.
A book like this does not have a publisher so much as it does an aider and abettor — in this case, a person called Adrian Zackheim, who runs Sentinel, an imprint of Penguin U.S.A. established to bring to market the "conservative" titles that lately have been reliable moneymakers. The problem with an enterprise conceived to pick conservative pockets rather than address conservative consciences is that it tends to miss some of the movement's finer points — such as self-restraint and civility. With all the rhetorical refuse being flung across the chasm dividing red and blue these days, those virtues are harder and harder to discern. But even now, few serious conservatives are willing to stand by and watch them trampled quite as wantonly as Klein has done.
"Mr. Klein's problem," Peggy Noonan wrote this week, "is that he assumes the market is conservative and conservatives are stupid. They're not, actually." The former speechwriter for President Reagan went on to call the book "poorly written, poorly thought, poorly sourced and full of the kind of loaded language that is appropriate to a polemic, but not an investigative work."
The New York Post's John Podhoretz described Klein's book as "one of the most sordid volumes I've ever waded through."
Just how sordid?
Well, it even triggered the gag reflex on Fox News, where Bill O'Reilly announced on-air that he would not interview Klein. The New York Times reported Friday that two other Fox personalities had scheduled, then canceled the author. During his lone appearance on the network, even the credulous Sean Hannity treated Klein with what might charitably be described as skepticism.
Klein attributes all this to conservatives' anxiety that "a strong frontal criticism of Mrs. Clinton will elicit sympathy for her and turn her into a victim."
No.
The distaste for this volume arises from its sordid obsession with speculation about Hillary and Bill Clinton's sex lives; its repeated reliance on single, anonymous sources for all of its more scurrilous allegations and the malicious spirit that virtually oozes from each page.
Sentinel's motives for all this are clear enough. It printed 350,000 copies of "The Truth About Hillary" and has watched it climb toward the top of the major online bestseller lists. Here there's little to ponder, but a simple vice: greed. The guys who flood half the world with pornographic DVDs from mail drops in Chatsworth operate in pretty much the same manner — though without the sanctimony.
Mere avarice cannot explain the author's motives. Usually one would expect to find some lacerating slight or traumatic grievance behind malice of this sort. If not some deep and terrible grudge, then pathology would seem to be the only rational explanation. Klein's own biography gives little hint of either. He is a former editor of the New York Times' Sunday Magazine and of Newsweek's foreign staff. Previously, he dabbled in pieces for Vanity Fair, which has purchased an excerpt of this book, and other magazines, as well as celebrity bios of the annoying but essentially harmless kind — "The Kennedy Curse" and "Farewell Jackie."
Writing this week in the Washington Post, his former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown notes with slight puzzlement that this book "doesn't seem in character for Klein. In my experience, when he wrote for me at Vanity Fair, he was motivated only by success. In those days, I appreciated his zesty pursuit of headline stories, even when he was totally unqualified to write them. A Klein hazard, however, was a Clouseau-like imperviousness to social temperature. I am afraid it was I who first assigned him to write a cover story about Jackie O in 1989 on the strength of his avowed friendship with the former first lady. Given her closely guarded privacy, it surprised me when Klein reported that Mrs. Onassis was 'perfectly amenable' to his writing the piece. 'What did she say when you called her?' I asked. 'She said, "Oh, Ed, give me a break," ' he replied."
In this country, we don't make bonfires of either the vain or the vile — at least not yet. But if speech — no matter how unworthy — is important enough to protect, it's also important that those in position to do so oppose speech that is malevolent or willfully and wickedly mistaken.
It would be easy, for example, to vivisect Klein on a factual basis. Even the most casual reading of this book turns up one error after another. For example, the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan did not endorse Hillary Clinton in the fashion Klein describes nor did the late Ken Kesey reside at the Hog Farm commune. If the span of personalities seems puzzling, suffice to say that the author's failure to link Sen. Clinton to the depredations of Alaric the Goth probably represents a failure of ingenuity rather than an insufficiency of spleen.
But this sort of analysis won't do. The problem with the serious news media's handling of books like this one is that too many organizations and writers allow themselves to be drawn into reporting or analyzing "the controversy." In the process, all the prurient allegations — in fact, the more prurient the better — no matter how preposterous, are dragged into print so they can be denounced.
Whatever the intention, the practice becomes essentially a form of journalistic laundering.
The way to handle "The Truth About Hillary" responsibly is to give it no further notice, no wider discussion.
Silence.
If the serious media can't draw the line on this one, then there no longer are any lines to draw.

I can't even imagine, don't want to, what Fielding's going through. Heather was a little younger than my oldest daughter, and the way he described her (so eloquently) made me think that she and my #1 would have gotten along splendidly.
That said, I think Fielding appreciates the ability to come here and refocus and think about something else for a few brief minutes, maybe, and this place can be therapeutic when you feel like your world has fallen apart. He seemed to have some of the ol' snark back last night.
We recently lost my stepmom, and my dad has commented that the grief seems to come in waves. Yeah. Because if it smacked you upside the head full-force for its duration, no one would survive it. (Note: I'm in no way comparing losing a spouse or a parent to losing a child.)
