Bush's recycled rational for this clusterfuck of a war:

My friends were working hard to convince me that Condi will be the '08 Presidential candidate from the right...at a minimum, she'll have the VP slot.
I think they're way wrong here, but they're convinced the the Republicans will use her to draw more African Americans into the party.
I think they're wrong because Condi's lies and missteps are easy to track. Hit her with her own words and deeds and she's toast.

I doubt they'd run Condi -- in their shrivelled little hearts (which they keep safely hidden in canopic jars in their secret mausoleums), they know a Black woman candidate would not play well with their base. But, if they did, the VP debates would be fun to watch -- in her own way, Condi's as hopeless thinking and speaking spontaneously as der Chimpenfuehrer.

Said it before, will say it again.
Conservatives:

2. Appointed 7 of 9 supreme court justices
3. Control the Executive branch
4. Control HUGE hunks of the main stream media
5. Have had a chokehold on the terms of the debate between left and right
6. Control most of the corporate power in the world
7. Control "christianity" (at least their version of it and the MSM lets them get away with calling that what it means to be Christian)
And this is NOT enough power for them to feel secure. It is pretty obvious that nothing will ever make them secure.

Our current political leaders would suffer greatly if either house of Congress changed hands in 2006, or if the presidency changed hands in 2008. The lids would come off all the simmering scandals, from the selling of the Iraq war to profiteering by politically connected companies. The Republicans will be strongly tempted to make sure that they win those elections by any means necessary. And everything we've seen suggests that they will give in to that temptation.

Slamming Gorelick for the "wall" is ridiculous. I came across testimony from Patrick Fitzgerald (the CIA leak prosecutor) about the wall and problems it caused in 1993.
LINK
"What is ironic is that this is an example of where the wall came into play where both criminal and intelligence investigations existed. In many other cases, the wall prevented criminal cases from being opened or pursued at all. In 1993, after the World Trade Center bombing, conspirators, including Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, planned to bomb the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, the FBI building, the United Nations and the George Washington Bridge. Prosecutors were in the dark about the details of the plot until very late in the day for fear that earlier prosecutorial involvement would breach the wall."
Was Gorelick's memo a time traveler too? The blink Sheik and several others were arrested in June 1993.

Excellent....another target for The Needle.

O'Donnell obviously became a sold out shill for Bush. She was also laughing exuberantly while that gin soaked drunk Hitchens viciously tore Sheehan apart and called her a liar. Her performance on Hardball was disgraceful but what would you expect from a corporate MSNBC (GE) pimp?

As goes the Twin Cities...???
Twin Cities listeners have been tuning out political talk radio.
Locally, conservative-talk icon Rush Limbaugh's show has lost 43 percent of its audience among 25- to 54-year-olds in the past year. Sean Hannity's show is down a whopping 63 percent. The shift is serious enough that "we're weighing where these shows fit for us in the future," according to Todd Fisher, general manager at KSTP (1500 AM), which carries both syndicated programs.
Many Americans also are switching the dial. While ratings for political talk radio typically drop the year after an election, experts around the country sense something else in the air. Many metro listeners are turning to local, often sports-oriented shows.
"We're not sure yet what's really going on," said talk radio veteran Ken Kohl, Clear Channel's director of news and talk programming for northern California. "In general, the talk shows that are succeeding are ones that haven't been reliving the election, or constantly harping on the polarization between liberals and conservatives."
...(Al) Franken is an exception, however. Locally, the Minnesota native has increased his audience share to 2.4 percent of listeners ages 25 to 54, compared with 1.3 last year.

i meant to include this from his onstage commentary:
Evolution. Back in the newspapers. Eighty years after the Scopes monkey trial, the Kansas Board of Education has decided to take another look at evolution. Now, the president say sthat the jury is out on evolution. It's very iffy. Can't trust it. Dover, PA -- they're not sure about evolution. Here is New Jersey, we're countin' on it.

She was also laughing exuberantly while that gin soaked drunk Hitchens viciously tore Sheehan apart and called her a liar.
Atrios linked to an American Prospect essay analyzing some of the "leading" conservative pundits, and the analysis of Hitchens pointed out not his "contrarianism" (as "Hitch" likes to call it), but his rather warped Marxist basis for analysis (not that Marxist analysis is per se warped, but the way Hitchens uses it is).
Excellent insight which led me to dismiss Hitchens not just because I don't like his "reasoning," but because he really is "unreasonable."
And a wanker.

As if violence doesn't do that already.
Creationism is not a "setback." It's simply stupid, baseless, and ignorant. Lots of teaching is (in my high school days, nobody mentioned the word "Marxist," much less dared study it. It held sway over half the population on the planet, but to study it was to commit heresy against the state!). Creationism is to be opposed because it's stupid. Plain and simple.
The idea of progress in human affairs, is another matter altogether.

Spent shells litter the ground at what is left of the firing range, and camouflage outfits still hang in a storeroom. Just a few months ago, this ranch was known as Camp Thunderbird, the headquarters of a paramilitary group that promised to use force to keep illegal immigrants from sneaking across the border with Mexico.
Now, in a turnabout, the 70-acre property about two miles from the border is being given to two immigrants whom the group caught trying to enter the United States illegally.
What's the Word?
Thunderbird.

The goddamn whiny sensitive victim politics of conservatives is really pathetic.
I think they're just latching on (with great success) the overall goddamn whiny sensitive victim culture we live in.
Wahhh, my taxes are too high, wahhh, the scientists come up with answers I don't like, wahhh, being white doesn't come with enough privileges, wahhh....
The irony is that conservatives love to whine about liberal whining and complain that they're victims of a culture of "victimization".
Lost in all of this is the fact that there are people who are hurt by society. You know, actual victims.

Hitchens has one theme and one theme
only -- that he's morally superior
to everybody else on the planet.
That's why he and Cockburn broke
up -- Cockburn believes the same
thing about himself.

man, i gotta say i'm still pissed about her performance on those 2 shows. i don't recall her being so overtly the bush shill. but the bullshit she was talking was straight off the rnc talking points memo. it really was grotesque.
one thing that occurred to me is her hubby is a chichi restaurant owner in wdc. lots of lobbyists dinners to be cooked in that town -- and who controls k street?
