A new day. A new set of Bush lies.
Time to try and get some sleep.
However, Pincus and Milbank with the pushback... thats something new!
go to bed dammit, your waking the neighbours
do I have to turn the stereo below 11?
How hilarious - look at the new defense which wingers are trying to use to defend Bush on the false WMD claims – Fake But Accurate! They used that endlessly to mock Democrats when it came to "Rathergate". Now it has become their primary defense to try to protect their Dear Leader.
Bush is essentially saying that .... Congress believed my lies and fake intelligence so its their fault we went to war.
Morning Moonbats.
Bush is also saying that anyone who is against the war is giving comfort to the enemy. In other words, we're traitors. I wonder how 60% of the country feels about that.
Anything over 50% is more power to the United Revolutionary States of the United States or URSUS which I think has something to do with bears, which is BAD!!
Anyways, lets get out the bear vote in the next election. Where ever that happens to be. Bears, you are on notice!!

This from the thread below. Magdalaladingdong was on Washington Journal yesterday. I turned it on just as she was leaving and caught her taking off her mike, standing, and then she stopped and gave Brian Lamb a kiss on the cheek. Now just how many acquaintances do you kiss before saying goodbye. I keep it to family members and those that I've known for years and with whom I am especially close.
Any doubts I had had of whether or not Lamb had drunk the kool aid were dispelled in that one second.
well, there is the mob kiss idea...
but, yeah, you right
Well, every kiss is like a slap with these guys. I expect to see Lamb floating in the East River tomorrow. He should have held out for a grope. That would have issured him top of the fold at least.

The Hero and the Liar - excerpts from this mornings paper in western North Carolina...rephrased....
A hero from WNC died yesterday
The liar marked yesterday by lying
The hero 'knew that the reasons that we got there was a pack of crap' according to his wife, but, 'Mike went over there because he really had this notion...his experience might actually save some young kid's life...'
The liar blamed others and took no responsibility for his actions.
'The Old Man', 49-year-old Staff Sgt. Mike Parrott, was killed by a sniper yesterday.
The liar used the day for a political attack, had a nice meal, and went to sleep early.

Gave you two points on your counter
I was just watching Fox and Friends, curious to see how they would handle the recent Bush woes, and found something unrelated but funny.
For one, wingnut and unfortunately-faced conservative sociopath Michelle Malkin made my teeth hurt as a quasi-co-host of the show. (I wonder what Fox News would say if David Brock or someone else closely associated with the left were to be a guest anchor on the Today show.) Watching her face contort was funny enough on its own, but it got better.
The other ballsmash came when the Friends ran a story about a copy editor for some newspaper who wrote a caption under a picture of female soccer players hugging that read "Girls congratulate their friend on coming out of the closet," or something to that effect.
Now, this was of course a dumb caption to write, and I think it was right that the guy got fired. I've been fired for lesser things.
But that wasn't what amused me. What amused me is that the Friends then pointed out, quite sanctimoniously, what a stupid thing this was, how irresponsible it was, and they proclaimed that they would never do such a thing at Fox. Because, as one NewsFemBot put it, they are told to never write up even jokey things, because they never know who is going to see it. Malkin said something to the effect that it was good "the jerk got fired."
Do they not remember a little incident where Fox News campaign correspondent Carl Cameron did the exact same thing during the 2004 election, when a fake write-up Cameron had written before the debate had even commenced was accidentally posted on the Fox web site. That fake write-up said, among other things:
- "Didn't my nails and cuticles look great? What a good debate!" Kerry said Friday.
- "It's about the Supreme Court. Women should like me! I do manicures," Kerry said.
- "I'm metrosexual — he's a cowboy," the Democratic candidate said of himself and his opponent.
- A "metrosexual" is defined as an urbane male with a strong aesthetic sense who spends a great deal of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle.
Despite being a greasy example of just how unfunny Republican hacks can be, especially when they are trying really, really hard, it is a perfect example of exactly what the fucktards on Fox were just on their high horse proclaiming could never happen at Fox.
Sometimes, I stop being upset about having a government-controlled News Channel, and just shake my head at how, seriously, they sleep at night. I mean, that kind of thing is easy to say. But seriously. How do these fucking people sleep?
They're really fucked now because their tried and true tactics don't work anymore. BushCo wrapped itself in the flag, and that's their go-to move. It worked for an appallingly long time, but in the long run people saw what they were all about. Terry Schiavo started the ball rolling, Katrina delivered the KO punch and the Libby indictments made sure they were down for the count.
Bush is done. The question is, will the Democrats get their act together and take advantage? I'm starting to believe they will. Howard Dean is running the DNC now, and I'm looking forward to seeing his 50-state strategy in action.
Now just how many acquaintances do you kiss before saying goodbye. I keep it to family members and those that I've known for years and with whom I am especially close.

from way upthread, I've worked with populations of kissers and huggers. Not confined to people we really know and like.
I prefer my internment camp in a more arrid climb. I assume that being early on in the American Gulag System we'll get some choice as to the location of our confinement.
Well, as an avowed homosexual, I've been mentally prepared for camp life ever since Lyndon LaRouche tried to pass an initiative in the 80's here in California that would have mandated quarantining anyone who tested poz for HIV. It would have been a short step to simply rounding up all us 'mo's, of course, but the scary thing is, if anybody but that batshit crazy fucker LaRouche had started the initiative, it likely would have passed.
I'd prefer my camp on the Central Coast, please, near Carmel or Big Sur. Mmmmm......ocean breezes......

Scares the shit outa me. We had a case here in NY where phony coin dealers deliberately targeted elderly widows and scammed them for millions of dollars. Many of the scammees to this day refuse to admit they were scammed. And none of the bastards got anything more than a few months in jail and some restitution, if they hadn't already spent the evil proceeds.
Of course, using the courts, which are there supposedly to protect you, is even more evil.
Sometimes, I stop being upset about having a government-controlled News Channel, and just shake my head at how, seriously, they sleep at night. I mean, that kind of thing is easy to say. But seriously. How do these fucking people sleep?
As long as their paychecks hit their direct deposit account on time, I'm sure they sleep well, without the aid of debilitating sedatives or large quantities of Jack Daniels or a combination thereof.
"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover," saith Pat on his television show, "if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city. And don't wonder why He hasn't helped you when problems begin, if they begin. I'm not saying they will, but if they do, just remember, you just voted God out of your city. And if that's the case, don't ask for His help because he might not be there."

That's what Wolcott said at the "Morning Sedition" live broadcast of a week ago. Maron asked him when he thought Fredo's freefall began and Wolcott said he thought it was the curse of Teri Schiavo.
cs, re Nathaniel Fink interview, I got a notice on realplayer that the link was outdated. I saw the interview. Fink said some real unglorified human things about how you do things in war with and for your buddies in the unit. Desparate to save lives in your unit.
Awareness of the political maelstrom is irrelevent. Great thing about the interview was Fink's expressions while he was talking. A real human being. Now I want to read the book

Karin, or maybe Diane, posted a beautiful quilt a few weeks back. Made me quite envious that I can't spend my days making such lovelies. Soon.
Meantime, I finished putting this quilt together yesterday. It's the first really creative thing I've done since the '04 election.
Gotta admit, the Repugs have a Really Big Tent, room for all three rings. Thank you Pat Robertson, Bill O'Reilly, shrub, for the acrobatic high-wire acts.
I also notice in the LA Times that albert champion made a correct prediction-they did fire Robert Scheer. Their new OpEd lineup includes Max Boot and Jonah Goldberg.
Nice palette on that quilt, QL.
QL - Pretty!
Take a look at this one - it's a different quilt ilk but awfully nice....
Wondering what that discussion at LATimes was like:
"Too much truth is getting out there! Fire Scheer and replace him with ....Doughy Pantload!"
Oh yes, that quilt came from the NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day website
I often check it looking for good space pictures.
el -- Thanks. I got that same message. Now I'm trying to figure out how to contact them to get it fixed.
I only saw part of the interview, but heard Fink talking about the tradition of the citizen soldier and how fracturing it gives us cowards who create policy and and ignorant people who fight their wars -- or something like that. I want to hear the direct quote.
I agree about his expression, his demeanor, everything he said -- as much as I heard.
His discussion of duty, how soldiers can disagree on the the politics but uphold their obligations to each other and their immediate leaders, how the what soldiers fight for ultimately ends up being the trust and faith they have in each other . . . It's so important for us to hear these things, which are said by those who serve (Paul Hackett, recently) over and over again . . .
ql, I can't believe you can throw together a whole quilt in 2 days. Hats off. I like the teal border, makes the colors vibrate.

TBogg makes reference to the Op-Ed Editor of the LA Times being NICOLAS GOLDBERG!
Is it possible that the Doughy Pantload has once again used Nepotism to land a gig?
Granted, I know Goldberg is hardly an uncommon name, but does anybody know if they are related?
Yes, but then the Rapture, doesn't, and they settle down. Also, like all things, a lot of it is fashion, and fashion changes. Mercifully.
Can't happen soon enough.

I knew, before I even looked at the list of Democratic Senators who defected and voted with Republicans on the Girmo rights issue, that Joe Lieberman would be on it. And sure enough, there he was, as big as life.

Fink also said, at first being in a firefight was like a gray fog, later the context of wanting to save your buddies came through.
Re: Doughy Pantload
i've got an old pal at the LA Times, whom i wrote yesterday when the news that Jonah the Whale had been hired there (and Scheer fired), to tell him of the 'Doughy Pantload' nick that Jonah bore in the Blogosphere, in the hopes of spreading the meme into the New Room and thereby beginning the all-important process of poisoning the atmosphere against the snivelling little fascist fuck...

Annan arrives in Iraq as blast kills four
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has arrived in Baghdad for a meeting with Iraqi leaders while a car bomb exploded outside a public market in the predominantly Shia neighbourhood of New Baghdad, killing four and wounding 19.
In New Baghdad on Saturday, two men, a woman and her eight-year-old daughter were killed in the blast, which set off a large fire in the market, police Colonel Hasan Chalub said.
Government spokesman Laith Kubba said Annan met Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari but provided no additional details.
Made the mistake of turning on Scott Simon this morning.
Seems the lower Bush's poll numbers go, the more Simon has to work to pump them back up. A series starts on "friendly advice" to the President, we are told.
Fathers of Marines are brought on, to tell us how proud they are of their sons (well, really? How many Cindy Sheehans are there out there, who will tell us they are proud but broken by the deaths of their soldier-children?)
As for "friendly advice," the polls indicate the American people have some advice for W.: "STOP BEING SUCH AN IDIOT!"
Excuse me, I'm going to find my baseball bat and turn my radio off.
Government spokesman Laith Kubba said Annan met Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari but provided no additional details.

I'm not sure whether the UN itself is going to be much help at this point. I agree with Viorst that we need to look to Iraq's neighbors for help in extricating us from Iraq.
here's the letter i sent to my friend at the LATimes:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
congratulations, pardner
you're apparently gonna have to share your 'space' with Jonah Goldberg.
bet that makes you very proud. (snark)
You DO know that, in the blogosphere, Jonah bears the dismissive 'nom de text'
Doughy Pantload, refering to the loads of shit he seems to expel well beyond the capacity of his big-boy pull-ups to contain, right...
I was hopin you could use this to help poison the atmosphere of the News Room against the vile little fascist fuck by spreading this information to as many of your colleagues as possible, to assist in the process of holding that cretinous coward up to the obloquy and humiliation he so richly deserves.
I know Goldberg's not an uncommon name, but (their joint tribal membership notwithstanding), is Jona related to the new Ed. page guy, Rick Goldberg? That is the only excuse i can fathom as to why the LA Times would fall to this level of mendacity...
I never thught I'd miss Michael Kinsley, wuss that he is, so soon....

I agree that our policies need to be clarified and that there are all sorts of good and moral arguments against torture. But this sounds like overkill to me.
But, I need to do more homework.

Sorry. We've done that. It's called the Ottoman Empire. Turkey gets involved. It doesn't end well. Non-effective to dis-assemble empires one generation and put them back together another.
Actually, there was recently an occasion where the re-imposition of Imperial did work - twice I think. Think back to the re-assumption of control by Britain of Rhodesia....
The trouble of course is that Iraq had no acceptable imperial overlord - Britain wasn't, but for about fifteen minutes, it really wouldn't be kosher to ask the Ottoman heritor state to take over....
Oh, that's right. It's the United Nations that we created to deal with little political issues like this.
Machaca!
Oh, just read about the patio. Wonderful news. I'm going HOME next week (home, home, home.... I promise not to post too much, I plan on being insufferably self absorbed.) But we're going to try Thanksgiving in the compound - see if it still has a party left in it.

Rick Lowry, one of NR's scumbag editors, was his usual creepy, smarmy, supercilious self on The Lehrer Report last night.
Defending Bushboy's "fighting back," as he called it, he kept blaming the Democrats for voting to go to a war he says they now are blaming our inept POTUS for.
Of course he overlooks the lies Bushboy & Co. told the Congress regarding WMDs, etc... to scare everyone into the Iraqi quagmire we are now in.
Why the fuck does Public TV have to constantly recruit rightwing bozos like Lowry or Bobo to do the talking for the Goopers? And how come someone from The Nation or The American Prospect aren't allowed to refute these lying bastards????
Everywhere in the Middle East, especially in Iraq, you hear 'em singing:
there must be 50 ways to leave iraq
just get on a bus, Gus
climb in the van, Stan
hop on a plane, Jane
and get yourself gone...
just hop on a ship, Chip

It's blame Dems all the time-- when Bush was amping up the war machine Dems were faulted for being hesitant. Now Dems are faulted for going along with it. It's background social news-- Dems are considered "bad" regardless of the situation.

My disdain for Bushboy and the Goopers is second to none but in a tie for first place as the worst human beings on the planet, Zarqawi and the murdering thugs who blow up innocent people are cheek and jowl, right there with the fascist scum who ordered "Shock and awe!"
The similarities between the Bushboy neocons and the Terrorists is striking.
They both have a depraved indifference to human life.
They both believe their religious agenda is superior to anyone else's and must dominate.
They both hold women in low esteem and for little more than baby incubators.
They both believe that they are God's absolute authority here on earth and tolerate no dissent.
Nazis were like that too.
Hanna-Stella, Queen of the Night "dog blog"
Did I mention that, if you're interested in seeing what my Hanna-Stella looks like, you can find her spit'n'image (if you have Windows XP) by tabbing 'settings', 'display', 'desktop', and finally 'Friend?'
i have never dog-blogged before, and it aint really a blog, but what the fffffff...
she really is big, beautiful, loving, sweet, fond, and smart...
just sayin'
Thanks Moe!
The Gooper strategy of blaming the Dems for their failures has worked in previous elections and so they figure it will work now.
Maybe the tumblers have changed and people will see through their mendacity. Let's hope so.....

Ron Wyden was the other "blue state" senator along with Lieberchens to vote to remove habeas corpus. Upon investigation it appears that Aipac is the common factor there.

Sharon's favorite senator: Ron Wyden
This book I've been reading, "The Empire of the Mind," by Michael Strangelove, really puts into perspective how much propaganda American are subjected to by advertisers, media operators and of course the political establishment.
The fact that most people believe the Goopers are actually a patriotic organization dedicated to the welfare of the American people is the most ridiculous ruse and cruel hoax ever foisted on this nation.
It is merely an indicator of how well most of the populace is brainwashed into thinking that predatory capitalism is the "best system" and since the Goopers are the champions of that system, their rivals are, perforce, pretenders or weaklings.
The book is an incredible read.
Just how sick, delusional and detached is George Bush anyways?
Yesterday, on a day when those who fought and died in previous wars are to be remembered and honored, he uses his posiiton as president and his speech on that day for anything but that.
Instead of remembering, thanking and honoring the fallen he uses his position as president and his keynote address to rant against those calling him on the lies he told to convince Americans they had to invade a country that had done them no harm. He brought up last year's campaign for god's sake and how John Kerry also believed Sadam had WMD (see Johnny did it too, Mom). And he could only talk of HIS OWN deluded sense of righteousness, courage and commitment.
If ever it was obvious this man has no moral or ethical compass it was yesterday. A real leader and statesman would have set aside partisan politics on this solemn day and pay proper repect to the thousands of war fallen. George couldn't, wouldn't, and didn't. Enough said. George Bush. Asshole extrodinaire.

Isn't Jonah Goldberg's mother the person who hired Linda Tripp?
You know, like Lucianne..........
