In the Beginning, There Was Abramoff

"Terri Schiavo is not brain-dead; she talks and she laughs, and she expresses happiness and discomfort. Terri Schiavo is not on life support."
- Tom DeLay, March 20, 2005
IF you believed Tom DeLay then, you no doubt believe now that the deposed House majority leader is only on "temporary" leave from his powerful perch in Washington and that he'll soon bounce back, laughing all the way, from a partisan witch hunt that unjustly requires his brief discomfort in a Texas courtroom.
Those who still live in the reality-based community, however, may sense they're watching the beginning of the end of something big. It's not just Mr. DeLay, a k a the Hammer, who is on life support, but a Washington establishment whose infatuation with power and money has contaminated nearly every limb of government and turned off a public that by two to one finds the country on the wrong track.
The rest (if this works)

Nope.

" WTF is a "chickenbeaver"?"
Sort of like moonbat. A trool was using it a week or two ago. I liked it. Much better than "liberfuck."
I think it's a play on chickenhawk, for people that profess concern about the rebuilding of hurricane-destroyed areas but won't go help rebuild.
But I prefer to ignore that, because the word "chickenbeaver" is more fun without context.

Rich (continued):
But don't take my word for it. And don't listen to the canned talking points of the Democrats, who are still so busy trying to explain why they were for the war in Iraq before they were against it that it's hard to trust their logic on anything else. Listen instead to Andrew Ferguson, of the conservative Rupert Murdoch magazine, The Weekly Standard. As far back as last December in a cover article on the sleazy lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Mr. Ferguson was already declaring "the end of the Republican Revolution."
He painted the big picture of the Abramoff ethos in vibrant strokes: the ill-gotten Indian gambling moolah snaking through the bank accounts of a network of DeLay cronies and former aides; the "fact-finding" Congressional golfing trips to further the cause of sweatshop garment factories in the Marianas islands; the bogus "think tank" in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where the two scholars in residence were a yoga instructor and a lifeguard (albeit a "lifeguard of the year"). Certain names kept recurring in Mr. Ferguson's epic narrative, most prominently Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist, Republican money-changers who are as tightly tied to President Bush and Karl Rove as they are to Mr. Abramoff and Mr. DeLay, if not more so.
The bottom line, Mr. Ferguson wrote, was a culture antithetical to everything conservatives had stood for in the Gingrich revolution of 1994. Slaying a corrupt, bloated Democratic establishment was out, gluttony for the G.O.P. and its fat cats was in. Mr. Abramoff and his gang embodied the very enemy the "Contract With America" Congress had supposedly come to Washington to smite: " 'Beltway Bandits,' profiteers who manipulate the power of big government on behalf of well-heeled people who pay them tons of money to do so." Those tons of Republican money were deposited in the favors bank of K Street, where, as The Washington Post reported this year, the number of lobbyists has more than doubled (to some 35,000) since the Bush era began in 2000. Conservatives who once aspired to cut government "down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub" - as a famous Norquist maxim had it - merely outsourced government instead to the highest bidder.

Rich (continued):
Mr. DeLay's latest plight is only a tiny detail within this vast Boschian canvas of depravity. If this were Watergate - and Watergate itself increasingly looks like a relatively contained epidemic of corruption - the Texas grand jury's indictment of the congressman and his associates would be a sideshow tantamount to the initial 1973 California grand jury indictment of the Nixon aide John Ehrlichman and his pals in the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office; Watergate's real legal fireworks were still in the wings. So forget about all those details down in Texas that make your teeth hurt; don't bother to learn the difference between Trmpac and Armpac. Fasten your seat belt instead for the roller coaster of other revelations and possible indictments that's about to roar through the Beltway.
The most important plot development of the past two weeks, in fact, has nothing to do with Mr. DeLay (as far as we know). It was instead the arrest of the administration's top procurement officer, David Safavian, on charges of lying and obstructing the investigation of Mr. Abramoff. And what an investigation it is: The F.B.I., the I.R.S., the Treasury Department and the Interior Department have all been involved. The popular theory of the case has it that Mr. Safavian, a former lobbying colleague of both Mr. Abramoff and Mr. Norquist, is being muscled by the feds to rat on the big guys in Washington - much as another smaller fish may have helped reel in Mr. DeLay in Texas.
The DeLay and Abramoff investigations are not to be confused with the many others percolating in the capital, including, most famously of late, the Justice Department and S.E.C. inquiries into the pious Bill Frist's divine stock-sale windfall and the homeland security inspector general's promised inquiry into possible fraud in the no-bid contracts doled out by FEMA for Hurricane Katrina. The mother of all investigations, of course, remains the prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's pursuit of whoever outed the C.I.A. agent Valerie Wilson to Robert Novak and whoever may have lied to cover it up. The denouement is on its way.

Rich (continued):
But whatever the resolution of any of these individual dramas, they will not be the end of the story. Like the continuing revelations of detainee abuse emerging from Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo, this is a crisis in the governing culture, not the tale of a few bad apples. Every time you turn over a rock, you find more vermin. We've only just learned from The Los Angeles Times that Joseph Schmitz, until last month the inspector general in charge of policing waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon, is himself the focus of a Congressional inquiry. He is accused of blocking the investigation of another Bush appointee who is suspected of siphoning Iraq reconstruction contracts to business cronies. At the Justice Department, the F.B.I. is looking into why a career prosecutor was demoted after he started probing alleged Abramoff illegality in Guam. According to The Los Angeles Times, the demoted prosecutor was then replaced by a Rove-approved Republican pol who just happened to be a cousin of a major target of another corruption investigation in Guam.
We have to hope that the law will get to the bottom of these cases and start to connect the recurring dots. But while everyone is innocent until proved guilty, the overall pattern stinks and has for a long time. It's so filthy that the Republican caucus couldn't even find someone clean to name as Mr. DeLay's "temporary" stand-in as House majority leader last week. As The Washington Post reported in 2003, Roy Blunt, the Missouri congressman who got the job, was found trying to alter a homeland security bill with a last-minute provision that would have benefited Philip Morris-brand cigarettes. Not only had the tobacco giant contributed royally to Mr. Blunt's various campaign coffers, but both the congressman's girlfriend (now wife) and his son were Philip Morris lobbyists at the time.
This is the culture that has given us the government we have. It's a government that has spent more of the taxpayers' money than any since L.B.J.'s (as calculated by the Cato Institute, a libertarian research institution), even as it rewards its benefactors with tax breaks and corporate pork. It's a government so used to lying that Mr. DeLay could say with a straight face that the cost of Katrina relief could not be offset by budget cuts because there was no governmental fat left to cut. It's the government that fostered the wholesale loss of American lives in both Iraq and on the Gulf Coast by putting cronyism above patriotism.

Rich (continued)
The courts can punish crooks, but they can't reform democracy from the ground up, and the voters can't get into the game until 2006. Meanwhile, on the Republican side, the key players both in the White House and in the leadership of both houses of Congress are either under investigation or joined at the hip to Messrs Rove, DeLay, Abramoff, Reed or Norquist. They seem to be hoping that some magical event - a sudden outbreak of peace and democracy in Iraq, the capture of Osama bin Laden, a hurricane affording better presidential photo ops than Rita - will turn things around. Dream on.
The one notable anomaly is John McCain, who retains a genuine hunger for reform, a rage at the corruption around him and the compelling motive of his presidential ambitions to push him forward; it's his Indian Affairs Committee, after all, that exposed the hideous Abramoff cesspool to public view last year. The Democrats, bereft of leadership and ideas (though not of their own Beltway bandits), also harbor a number of would-be presidents, but they are busier positioning themselves politically than they are articulating actual positions that might indicate what a new governmental order would look like. While the Republican revolution is dead, it says everything about the power vacuum left in its wake that Geena Davis's fictional commander in chief has more traction, as measured in Nielsen ratings and press, than any of the real-life contenders for that job in D.C.

(..)
"My defense will not be technical and legalistic. It will be categorical and absolute," he said. "My setback is temporary. They may have made me step aside for now. But they can never make us stand down."

"I knew my effectiveness would come at a price and my name would be dragged through the mud," he said.
"I am a target, ladies and gentlemen," DeLay said. "But I am nobody's victim."

He said Earle "had to indict me because the prize was to make me step aside temporarily as majority leader. We'll be exonerated, and I'll be majority leader again."
DeLay also said he thinks the case will see a quick resolution. "When the judges see how outrageous this is ... they will be embarrassed for their profession and they will give us as speedy a trial as possible," he said.

And while I partly agree with your list, there are a few things missing:
2004-2005: Telling Bush to go fuck himself when it comes to Social Security "reform." Ditto, RE: John Bolton.
I'm dsappointed about Roberts, but the death of Rehnquist really changed things, I think. What happens with the next Injustice, well, we'll see.

A guy who let Rove & Co. trash him during the 2000 campaign but continues to bend over and spread 'em for the Bush regime.
Trash him? Christ, he let Rove portray his wife as a deranged miscegenist adulterer and drug addict. How she can stand the sight of him is beyond my comprehension. If I'd been his wife, I would've cut off his dick and shoved it up his ass.

2004-2005: Telling Bush to go fuck himself when it comes to Social Security "reform." Ditto, RE: John Bolton.
John Bolton was mainly Powell getting some payback through Voinovich. Social Security was a loss for Bush but I don't think he thought he could win. He just rolled the dice.

here's hoping their names aren't 'Lafleur,' 'Lapointe,' or 'Bourassa' with some sketchy link to quebec...
They sure held Bush accountable in 2001, when the Democrats controlled the Senate. I believe the Iraq War resolution approved by a vote of 78-22 with 29 democratic Senators supporting Bush's plan for war.
It was 2002, and the vote was 77-23.
Now, if the Greens would, you know, work on the real grassroots, develop a stronger following at the local and state levels, build an effective national organization, and have a platform other than "there's not a dime's worth of difference between the GOP and Dems", then maybe I'll consider voting for them at the Federal level. Until then, they get my vote for dog catcher. No, wait, that was the Libertarian last time...
Rest assured, Tom DeLay will rise again

That's a nasty story, SWR...I always have trouble with the idea of a 'hate crime' murder being somehow more special (& no, that isn't quite the word I want) than any other kind of murder. I don't like victim impact statements either. The law is supposed to be blind to what kind of person the victim or the accused were.

There isn't a reason in the world you can't elect two Green or Socialist Senators from Vermont to replace Leahy and Jeffords.
Both would probably be more reliable opponents of Bush than some Democrats and both would probably vote consistently with the liberal wing of the Democratic party.
It was 2002, and the vote was 77-23.
Did the Democrats control the Senate for this vote?
Yes, IIRC. They didn't lose control until the mid-terms that November.

There isn't a reason in the world you can't elect two Green or Socialist Senators from Vermont to replace Leahy and Jeffords.
Leahy, prolly not: too popular, and the Greens really aren't that strong here. The Progressives, however, are another story. They have a great chance with Dave Zucker (he's the organic farmer my wife buys a share of the veggie crop from in the summer, and is currently in the VT House) to take Bernie's seat, and he has a great chance to replace the retiring Jeffords.

SWR, I read the story and found it horrifying indeed. But the disturbing facts of a brutal multiple homicide related in the news account do not have the same associations for me as they do for you.
It's too soon to guess the significance of the crime. Maybe, as WGG suggested, it will prove to be a straightforward "retail" crime, arising from personal or domestic conflict. Revenge, something to do with money, etc.
Assuming that the crime is fairly and professionally investigated, which is certainly a problematic assumption, the truth will be forthcoming.
If evidence emerges that there's some other agenda at work, vigilantism or whatever, I'll get my outrage on. Too soon right now.
Not ignoring you.

Damn, gotta go. SWR, it's a vital argument. I don't think I'm as Left as you, but I'm really glad people are pushing on the Dems. I don't know what will work. Maybe it's a state thing. It's weird the influence that the Conservative Party has over the Republicans in New York State, to the point where the candidates really want an endorsement from this Fringe party. Maybe the Greens need to be a faction within the Democratic Party, or maybe they need to develop the discipline to actually make candidates want their endorsement. I do know that on the national level we're doomed to a two-party system. But, that doesn't negate anything you said, and I always get a lot to think about out of your posts.
Gotta go. Hope everybody has fun watching the Chupacabra movie.

With the Rethugs continuing their organizing in the cultish christian churches the GodOnlyParty will only nominate a Je-zuz-luvin' ticket in '08. Dems nominating HR Clinton, as many have said, would be instant death by the organizing power she'd give the Rethugs. Best Dem hope is a firebrand from nowhere completely unconnected to the established crowd.
A Dem victory in 2006 would maybe change this future's track somewhat but, thusfar, Dems appear helpless in the face of a string of GOP crime family gifts. I know the Dem establishment doesn't want to get ahead of the headlines but one or two out there stances would really pay major dividends for whoever has the balls to stake them out. An 06 Dem Congressional majority would give all of us the dreamed for karma of a Bush/Cheney impeachment after lengthy Select Committee investigations. Their right wing nuts and our milquetoasts will be our death.

That's why the late, great Fred Tuttle, the old farmer in "A Man With A Plan" ran against him and kicked his ass in the '98 GOP primary (then endorsed Pat). Pat crushed McMullen with somewhere around 70% of the vote in 2004.

TIFTON, Ga. Oct 1, 2005 — Pedro Bemol stayed awake most of the night, swapping lookout shifts in the dark with the five other Mexican immigrants who share a ragged mobile home with no electricity and a front door that won't close because of a broken latch.
"Right now, we're afraid to go to sleep all of us are restless," the 36-year-old said Saturday outside his home, two doors down from the trailer where robbers killed two of his neighbors. "We don't know if they'll come in and get us in the night, break in while we're asleep."

In the Beginning, There Was Abramoff
By FRANK RICH
"Terri Schiavo is not brain-dead; she talks and she laughs, and she expresses happiness and discomfort. Terri Schiavo is not on life support."
- Tom DeLay, March 20, 2005
IF you believed Tom DeLay then, you no doubt believe now that the deposed House majority leader is only on "temporary" leave from his powerful perch in Washington and that he'll soon bounce back, laughing all the way, from a partisan witch hunt that unjustly requires his brief discomfort in a Texas courtroom.
Those who still live in the reality-based community, however, may sense they're watching the beginning of the end of something big. It's not just Mr. DeLay, a k a the Hammer, who is on life support, but a Washington establishment whose infatuation with power and money has contaminated nearly every limb of government and turned off a public that by two to one finds the country on the wrong track.
But don't take my word for it. And don't listen to the canned talking points of the Democrats, who are still so busy trying to explain why they were for the war in Iraq before they were against it that it's hard to trust their logic on anything else. Listen instead to Andrew Ferguson, of the conservative Rupert Murdoch magazine, The Weekly Standard. As far back as last December in a cover article on the sleazy lobbyist Jack Abramoff, Mr. Ferguson was already declaring "the end of the Republican Revolution."
He painted the big picture of the Abramoff ethos in vibrant strokes: the ill-gotten Indian gambling moolah snaking through the bank accounts of a network of DeLay cronies and former aides; the "fact-finding" Congressional golfing trips to further the cause of sweatshop garment factories in the Marianas islands; the bogus "think tank" in Rehoboth Beach, Del., where the two scholars in residence were a yoga instructor and a lifeguard (albeit a "lifeguard of the year"). Certain names kept recurring in Mr. Ferguson's epic narrative, most prominently Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist, Republican money-changers who are as tightly tied to President Bush and Karl Rove as they are to Mr. Abramoff and Mr. DeLay, if not more so.
The bottom line, Mr. Ferguson wrote, was a culture antithetical to everything conservatives had stood for in the Gingrich revolution of 1994. Slaying a corrupt, bloated Democratic establishment was out, gluttony for the G.O.P. and its fat cats was in. Mr. Abramoff and his gang embodied the very enemy the "Contract With America" Congress had supposedly come to Washington to smite: " 'Beltway Bandits,' profiteers who manipulate the power of big government on behalf of well-heeled people who pay them tons of money to do so." Those tons of Republican money were deposited in the favors bank of K Street, where, as The Washington Post reported this year, the number of lobbyists has more than doubled (to some 35,000) since the Bush era began in 2000. Conservatives who once aspired to cut government "do
Watertiger--that gigolo's acting is even more atrocious.
Thread is the mother of all beauty.
How you people can blithely liveblog scifi movies when Paris Hilton has ended her engagement is beyond me. I'm way too verklempt.
Hecate
And just today I was reading the Vanity Fair cover story about her engagement.
Oh, the horror.....
Mr. DeLay's latest plight is only a tiny detail within this vast Boschian canvas of depravity. If this were Watergate - and Watergate itself increasingly looks like a relatively contained epidemic of corruption - the Texas grand jury's indictment of the congressman and his associates would be a sideshow tantamount to the initial 1973 California grand jury indictment of the Nixon aide John Ehrlichman and his pals in the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office; Watergate's real legal fireworks were still in the wings. So forget about all those details down in Texas that make your teeth hurt; don't bother to learn the difference between Trmpac and Armpac. Fasten your seat belt instead for the roller coaster of other revelations and possible indictments that's about to roar through the Beltway.
The most important plot development of the past two weeks, in fact, has nothing to do with Mr. DeLay (as far as we know). It was instead the arrest of the administration's top procurement officer, David Safavian, on charges of lying and obstructing the investigation of Mr. Abramoff. And what an investigation it is: The F.B.I., the I.R.S., the Treasury Department and the Interior Department have all been involved. The popular theory of the case has it that Mr. Safavian, a former lobbying colleague of both Mr. Abramoff and Mr. Norquist, is being muscled by the feds to rat on the big guys in Washington - much as another smaller fish may have helped reel in Mr. DeLay in Texas.
The DeLay and Abramoff investigations are not to be confused with the many others percolating in the capital, including, most famously of late, the Justice Department and S.E.C. inquiries into the pious Bill Frist's divine stock-sale windfall and the homeland security inspector general's promised inquiry into possible fraud in the no-bid contracts doled out by FEMA for Hurricane Katrina. The mother of all investigations, of course, remains the prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's pursuit of whoever outed the C.I.A. agent Valerie Wilson to Robert Novak and whoever may have lied to cover it up. The denouement is on its way.
But whatever the resolution of any of these individual dramas, they will not be the end of the story. Like the continuing revelations of detainee abuse emerging from Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantánamo, this is a crisis in the governing culture, not the tale of a few bad apples. Every time you turn over a rock, you find more vermin. We've only just learned from The Los Angeles Times that Joseph Schmitz, until last month the inspector general in charge of policing waste, fraud and abuse at the Pentagon, is himself the focus of a Congressional inquiry. He is accused of blocking the investigation of another Bush appointee who is suspected of siphoning Iraq reconstruction contracts to business cronies. At the Justice Department, the F.B.I. is looking into why a career prosecutor was demoted after he started probing alleged Abramoff illegality in Guam. According to The

But the eyeliner makeups for it.
SWR: I think you always underestimate the amount of support & grudging acceptance a significant number (not all, *maybe* not even a majority) the American people themselves had for the IWR.
All I know is, out here, I worked my ass off trying to talk people out of supporting the invasion of Iraq and got absolutely fucking nowhere. You wouldn't get as far as I did.
The one notable anomaly is John McCain, who retains a genuine hunger for reform, a rage at the corruption around him...
I agree with pie's comment.
Mr. McCain lost whatever credibility he had gained IMHO during the last Republican primary. I just saw "Bush's Brain" again today and it refreshed in detail what the Rovian et al forces did in South Carolina against McCain. He should have come out swinging and looking to crucify those bastards and instead he just makes nice-nice so that his political future is still bright (or so he thinks). He didn't have the balls to stand up for his wife and children - why in God's name would anyone think that he would stand up for you, Mr. & Mrs. American citizen!
res, thank you for the Rich posts. I was lapping it up til the last paragraph. "Dems have no ideas" They do. They just haven't put them into flash cards for the simple folk in the media. And John McCain?! That guy makes me want to vomit. During the 04 campaign he actually said he knew both Bush and Kerry well and felt Bush was the better man for the job. I didn't expect him to endorse Kerry, but quit insulting my intelligence.

Isn't it sad that McCain looks good compared to the vermin in office?
McCain doesn't look better than the regime to me; he is part of it.
How much resentment do the gay civil unions cause.
None really nowadays. We've had CUs for, what, 5 years now? Turns out God didn't destroy our state. Certainly the 2000 election was very divisive in the wake of it all--that's when the Take Back Vermont signs, many of which you will STILL see up in the Northeast Kingdom (where we have a camp), started appearing. The GOP took over the House, but the Dems held the Senate, and Dean managed to win a majority even in a three-way race with a Prog and a GOP challenger (same as in 2002).
These days people are more concerned about refining Act 60, our property tax/school funding law, and the job market and heating costs this winter. Nobody really worries what the queers are doing to the soil these days.

A quick word on "coercion," since I missed the discussion earlier.
Rich people get "coerced" into giving testimony in accordance with the law. The clear implication: the law is for "lesser" (i.e., not as wealthy and influential) people.
Lesser mortals get subpoeaned. From the Latin for "under penalty."
There's a world of elitism in the assumption that a rich person's testimony should never be "coerced," while a lesser mortal's testimony is rightly "subpoenaed."

I think Daschle had a lot to do with it. I wonder what it would have been like with a different majority leader.
Well, Reid also voted yea, but maybe he was just being a good whip in that case. He certainly goes for the "loyal opposition" vote now that he's Majority Leader.
kerry made dukakis look good.
Fucking Kerry. I supported him as passionately as I could and voted for him once he became the nominee, but I will always believe he was the absolute worst choice.
I thought he was going to do OK.
My real sense of betrayal with Kerry comes from the fact that, since he wouldn't defend his own past in the anti-war movement, he opened up all of us to being slimed as unAmerican and extremist. He had a responsibility to defend the right of all of us to speak. He didn't.

The chupacabra is indigenous to Puerto Rico, you know
The sightings may have started out there, but now reports have come in from all over Central America and as far south as Peru. As a toonwriter, I have the great joy of being a professional follower of monster and wierd creature lore. Check out UFO Roundup here on the nets -- it's loaded with bizarre creatures I'd never heard of before.
I saw this movie when it was first on about a year ago. I was interested cause I pitched a chupacabra movie to the Sci Fi channel. They didn't buy it -- in mine the chupacabra was actually a "good" monster sent to Earth to track and kill a "bad" monster -- sorta like setting a mongoose on a cobra -- the chupa was found by some grad students, including a hot geologist babe. Sci Fi turned me down and then made this turkey.
I am also offended by the movie's sloppy monster lore -- one of the salient features of chupacabras is that they are supposed to be small, usually described as being three or four feet tall. As far as I know, there's no report of them ever attacking a human.
Prior...I may be wrong but I thought Moore just put in a clip from CNN or other network segment of the parachute thingee.

He said he would fight for us, but really didn't, particularly on the one big issue that was allegedly his strength: his military record. I had high hopes as well before the swiftboating began. He is an articulate man and generally I think on the right side of history, but he pussied out in the end.

EEEEEEK! Don't ever mention them in my presence again, or I'll...I'll, have to wear pants. On my head!
drive by -
The Roberts vote by Senator
Kerry voted no.
.
I had high hopes as well before the swiftboating began
He should have fought like hell against the Swiftboating. And kicked Shrum's ass out a there
Thank god irt isn't Code Rhumba Alert.
.
I think some part of the CIA forged them. And, that another part of the CIA knows that perfectly well.
One can only hope that the righteous part of the CIA is waaaay more effective than the stupid part.
So he's saying it's Chupaqaeda?
most of these political consultants/campaign managers are probably going to do better financially under republicans. and they keep getting rehired by democrats. it seems like there isn't a downside for bob shrum to run a shitty campaign.
wait, are you guys pulling my leg? did amw really mention delay? and did i miss the thread of that discussion?

She's mine! She can schedule my cooking shift on the farm ANYTIME. I will work hard for her. You just keep away from my darling Caroline.

That's good. We got a marine layer up here as well last night. But it heated right up again this afternoon.

They're certainly outnumbered.
Check out this Digby poster's theory on what is going on with the Plame case.
Shrum just e-mailed Kerry:
I think the time is right to make your move now.
I saw her first!
i thought it was italian cia who forged the yellowcake papers.
I think they need Chupa GI Joe to fight Chupacobra.
I don't understand it.
Max Planck
Max, I've always ALWAYS maintained that he's a Republican mole. How else can anyone explain his wretched Dem campaigns?
He said he would fight for us, but really didn't, particularly on the one big issue that was allegedly his strength:
Are Al Gore's ears ringing?
Quality and Scifi do not converge
Damn, Sallyh, how could I have forgotten that?
*slaps self up the side of the head and mutters "stupid... stupid... stupid..."*
I should have taken my cue from this guy I know -- one of the producers of Dracula 3000. Now he has made bad sci fi an art.
He is an articulate man and generally I think on the right side of history, but he pussied out in the end.
I think it was simple overconfidence. He thought he was going to win. He was the Democratic version of Thomas E. Dewey.
And the worst shame:

holy shit, they just had the SunCruz/murders/Jack Abramof story on America's Most Wanted, with a side order of mention of Jack A's links to Tom DeLay
omg, that's important i think. that program goes right to gooberville -- so it's a legitimate crime and corruption story and not the liberal media bashing poor tom delay. the shit be piling up for bushco.

.
Kerry did vote "No" on the Roberts confirmation.
Let's get it right, shall we?
He is an articulate man and generally I think on the right side of history, but he pussied out in the end.
I think part of the problem was that Kerry is part of the elite.
I don't think he had any idea of how ugly the country got and he probably thought the Swiftboating would get laughed at.
i read somewhere that the forged documents came from the italian intelligence agency, whatever it is called. im not sure if they were passed through the cia or through that office in the pentagon under dough feith, that provided so much of the bogus intelligence on wmds.
I saw her first!
We must duel. I suggest a cookoff, since she's in charge of scheduling the cooking shifts. Ladels at 20 paces?

Cooler if it was on Cops.
Wouldn't mind seeing Dick Cheney dragged into a cruiser in a wife-beater...
The United States is exporting newborns by the hundreds and Canada is a preferred destination.
Most of the infants are African American or biracial; their birth mothers want them to be raised outside the United States and believe Canada is a land of little racial strife.
[...]
The practice of sending African-American infants abroad has attracted a wave of media attention in the United States, some of it unfavourable. Critics there say the United States should be embarrassed that the world's richest country is exporting African-American infants to Canada and Europe to be raised in cultures with far less defined black cultures.
I've always ALWAYS maintained that [Shrum] is a Republican mole.
Which makes Kerry look like fucking Einstein for completely turning over his campaign to him.
He had a responsibility to defend the right of all of us to speak. He didn't.
SWR
Bingo!
We had a real chance to put Vietnam behind us once and for all. And to give ourselves some space for this current clusterfuck.
And he triangulated the chance away.
The Rove Scandal Document Center has a complete collection of the essential PlameGate briefings, articles, statutes, timelines and more.

I just do not believe he'll be anywhere near the next one
Oh boy, a Gruel-Off. Afterwards, she can take us to see The Leader to see which one of us must marry her.
But seriously, now that we know everything, well not everything, but we know enough scary truths about Bushit & Co. Wouldn't you rather McCain have won (between Shrub and McCain)?

I think he needed to get down here to real 'Merka and see all those "911 Terrorist Hunting Permits" and "Jane Fonda Traitor Commie Bitch" bumper stickers.

Hm. Does McCain bring The Cheney with him. Does it matter?
i dont see how kerry could have underestimated the effectiveness of the swiftboat campaign--republicans have been doing this effectively since reagan at least. some of his decisions didn't make any sense to me.
Wouldn't you rather McCain have won (between Shrub and McCain)?
No. McCain's an asshole.
Well, the poor Three Rivers parachute manufacturer was not only person embarrassed by F911 (nor should he have been -- nor the most culpable) & I believe there has been consdierable confusion about who voted for what when -- e.g., Iraq War, both Levin & Stabenow = Nay -- Roberts for Chief, Levin = Yea, Stabenow = Nay, Bankruptcy Levin = Nay, Stabenow = Yea -- I wanted all Nay all the time, but the alternative here would be an extreme right wing whack job who would always vote wrong!
But it is late & I must retire

He's radioactive
Somebody sometime is going to have to explain to me how, after O'Neill & the Swiftboat Liars were debunked and shown to be basically in the employ of BushCheney '04, *John Kerry* was supposed to prevent them from showing up on CSpan, Nightline & the Sinclair Broadcast Group (let alone every op-ed & letters to the editor page) right up to election day.
He tore the hide right off that cheapjack punk Bush face to face in three debates, so I'd say claiming he 'pussied out' is stretching things.
Sometimes I think you guys forget that while not everyone loves Bush the way Gary Ruppert does, a whole lot of people never will believe he's the monster we think he is. The campaign that I (and a lot of people here) wanted to see would have lost without Diebold assistance.
Fuck, even the Rethugs were starting to wonder why Kerry's campaign was in such a coma.
Goddammit, last year's election had a shload riding on it!
Win or lose, at least go out swinging.
Damn, I'm still pissed about that.
He's radioactive
His career should have ended at least 2-3 elections ago, but it didn't.
I don't know who gets his pictures and negatives for him, but they must be *damn* good.
she can take us to see The Leader to see which one of us must marry her.
You know, the founder died a while back, I wonder if whoever marries Caroline will be able to take over. Start putting poison in the gruel and stuff. I think a plan is forming in my mind...
He tore the hide right off that cheapjack punk Bush face to face in three debates, so I'd say claiming he 'pussied out' is stretching things.
He finessed Bush into looking like a fool instead of breaking his jaw.
And he never came out and defended his anti-war activism. He finessed it.

I was pissed that he didn't decisively (or even non-decisively) repudiate his vote for the war, and that he didn't make Dubya's anti-terror ineptness a big issue (which I thought he would do when he hired Rand Beers) other than in, like, one debate?

And the Dem organization in '04 sucked compared to Repugs. Sorry but based on what I saw I think that is true

Oh. See, I was hoping to invite Athenae to join the commune, too. I figure we need a ferret wrangler. And I was think Janeane Garofalo could do our radio show with me. And now that Paris Hilton is available, I now have a notion of asking her to be our fashion designer for next season's anti-war t-shirts...

Congressman calls VP too old and sick for the job

headlines
NEW YORK (AP) _ For the second time in recent months, the dean of New York's congressional delegation has questioned whether Vice President Dick Cheney is fit for the duties of his office.
In an interview in August on NY1, the New York City-based all-news channel, Rep. Charles Rangel suggested that Cheney might be too sick to perform his job.
On Friday evening, Rangel was asked in a follow-up talk on the station if he thought Cheney should step down.
"He should never have stepped up in the first place," Rangel said. "He's too old for the job and doesn't have the experience."
Later in Friday's interview, Rangel finished off a list of problems he had with Bush administration policies by adding: "I would like to believe he's sick rather than just mean and evil."
etc.

There's Charles, ever the diplomat.

And if Caroline moved to Waco?
She wouldn't do that. And if she did, I probably would have to follow here. Where else would I get my t-shirts?
central casting came up with kerry the "opposition candidate".
And THIS is why gambling is a sin.
There comes a time when "smart" politics gets thrown aside.
When Dukakis was asked about the raping of his own wife.
When McCain was push-polled for being an addled philanderer with a druggy wife.
When Kerry was charged with treason.
You stop running for office at that goddamned point and you start eviscerating the person who makes the charge and his whole fucking bloodline.
Nothing personal.
Strictly business.
Oh. See, I was hoping to invite Athenae to join the commune, too. I figure we need a ferret wrangler. And I was think Janeane Garofalo could do our radio show with me.

oh no? when it was getting down the wire, in the days before the election, his campaign begged for money. said it was needed to pay for extra lawyers in case they needed to contest the election. promised to fight if there was even a hint of fraud.
but did he do that? noooo. he didn't fight. he took a few extra hours before conceding for appearances sake, just to make it look like the votes were being considered.
a ego driven kerry would have fought it out.
