FASHION
- Forget those drab old business suits, Washington's newest member, Jean Schmidt, is going with lots and lots of red, white and blue. Jean shows us how accessories with the flag image are a terrific fashion accessory.
A star studded sweater, red, white and blue shoes, or a hair piece donning the Stars and Stripes will surely add a festive mood .

"The military is falling far behind in its effort to recruit and re-enlist soldiers for some of the most vital combat positions in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a new government report.
The report, completed by the Government Accountability Office, shows that the Army, National Guard and Marines signed up as few as a third of the Special Forces soldiers, intelligence specialists and translators that they had aimed for over the last year.
Both the Army and the Marines, for instance, fell short of their goals for hiring roadside bomb defusers by about 20 percent in each of the last two years. The Army Reserve, meanwhile, failed to fill about a third of its more than 1,500 intelligence analysts jobs. And in the National Guard, there have been consistent shortages filling positions involving tanks, field artillery and intelligence.
The report found that, in all, the military, which is engaged in the most demanding wartime recruitment effort since the 1970's, had failed to fully staff 41 percent of its array of combat and noncombat specialties."

After a private screening of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Bush met with Condoleeza Rice, Karen Hughes, Laura Bush and Barbara Bush to discuss the film. Insiders say that Bush will appear at a press conference dressed as Harry Potter. "The President thinks Harry Potter's Quidditch robes will show a new side of his personality. Bush is a dragon slayer."

Was Hatchet-Face Schmidtt chosen by the House leadership to call Murtha a coward? Or did she put that little presentation together all by her self? In other words, do you think they planned the whole thing to go down that way, or did Schmidt fuck up?

Mike Green, senior director for Asian affairs on the National Security Council said:
"It's also important that the world and the Chinese people see that an expression of faith is a good thing for a healthy and mature society," Green said."
The Evangelist in Chief! I thought that idiot FAlweel and his compadre Robertson were on that job? And how has Bush's faith been a boon to anyone? The world is a mess because he's applied his homebrewed dry drunk faith upon the country. A mature and healthy country would have outgrown faith. Darwin says as much. Only the strong will survive, and those driven by faith are the weakest.

And the clerk will report her words. All members will suspend. The gentleman from Arkansas has demanded that the gentlelady's words be taken down. The clerk will report the gentlelady's words.

So not only is she a pathetic coward who won't back up what she says within 30 seconds of saying it, she's a fucking liar as well.
I think it took 5-10 minutes of screaming, yelling, pie fighting, etc. before order was restored and she retracted her statement. That's the nature of legislative minutes; they make things nice and clean.

Here's the unacknowledged threat that I'm worried about -- every additional day we are in Iraq could be the day that some horrendous catastrophic event occurs (against our troops in Iraq, or against civilians in Israel) that will become the new reason why we have to get involved deeper. If we don't take the current opportunity to get out, this war could easily spread and get much much uglier than what we've seen so far.
Precipitating the wider war seems to be what both Al Qaeda and the neocons want. Avoiding their apocalyptic cream dream is the main reason to get out ASAP.

The battles are too acrimonious even for good television. The stakes, when even vaunted idols like Bob Woodward are finding themselves dashed upon the rocks, are getting too personal, and too close to home. And in cases like Fineman's, I have to wonder if what I am positive I saw, tonight, I actually saw: a man calling the White House out, rather directly. A man who was no more impressed with the attacks upon Murtha than anyone else watching, to the point where it shifted the tone of the debate, because a lighter tone, in this particular case, simply could not be conscripted.
Whether or not Karl Rove survives the excesses of being Karl Rove, I have to wonder if the same crass, one-note song will play, or if the audience has changed. When the only weapon the White House is capable of using is to impugn the very patriotism and Americanness of their opponents, what happens if the reactions to that attack change?

From a WP editorial:
Is there a distinction to be made based on the motives of the leakers? If so, Mr. Woodward might have had to pass up his first big scoops three decades ago, because his Watergate source, Deep Throat -- recently revealed as FBI official W. Mark Felt -- was disgruntled at having been passed over for the post of FBI director.
The distinction is that Felt was telling the truth, while Woodward's recent "source" was promoting a lie.

I did not watch the entire debate last night, my patience on Friday night's is not that strong, but I did watch several hours. Impressions?
Do the Republicans actually believe the lies they speak? I mean that. I heard Representatives speaking lies that everyone who has any interest and experience knows are lies. Some of my favorites:
It is getting much better in Iraq
The people are thankful for our presence there.
Representative Murtha is a coward
Three separate commissions found that the administration did not manipulate intelligence data.
Our troops are delighted to give up their lives and limbs for this non-existent policy
The Democrats are trying to desert the troops.
The lies just go on and on and no one apparetly is willing to confront them. I listened to them argue for an indefinite committment and remembered the VietNam war - only this was worse. In VietNam we actually had an identifiable enemy.
And on and on: just very disgusted here.

Defense official: Rumsfeld given Iraq withdrawal plan
Plan calls for troops to begin pulling out after December elections
Friday, November 18, 2005; Posted: 11:34 p.m. EST (04:34 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The top U.S. commander in Iraq has submitted a plan to the Pentagon for withdrawing troops in Iraq, according to a senior defense official.
Gen. George Casey submitted the plan to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. It includes numerous options and recommends that brigades -- usually made up of about 2,000 soldiers each -- begin pulling out of Iraq early next year.
The proposal comes as tension grows in both Washington and Baghdad following a call by a senior House Democrat to bring U.S. troops home and the deaths of scores of people by suicide bombers in two Iraqi cities.

WGG, I know. But at least there was an identifiable component. I hesitated in using the analogy, but there really and truly were NVR soldiers. Here: nothing.
I listened to Murtha and was embarassed that an old war hawk, cold war lover was actually so reasonable. I mean, this is the kind of man who used to be the problem.

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this.
This bastard's arrogance is amazing.
LOS ANGELES - O.J. Simpson on Friday questioned the system that allowed both him and actor Robert Blake to be found liable for murder after being acquitted in criminal court, calling it "double jeopardy."
"I still don't get how anyone can be found not guilty of a murder and then be found responsible for it in any way shape or form," Simpson said in a phone interview from his Florida home. "... If you're found not guilty, how can you be found responsible? I'd love to hear how that's not double jeopardy."
Simpson said he had no opinion about Blake's guilt or innocence in the murder of his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, because he did not follow either trial closely.
Simpson said Blake was subjected to an unfair system in which a civil jury can essentially reverse a criminal jury's finding by using a lesser standard of proof in which jurors need be convinced only by "a preponderance of the evidence," meaning at least 51 percent.
"If that was the standard in criminal trials, only 51 percent, then so many people would be convicted that we'd have to build more jails," Simpson said. "The standard is the difference."
Simpson was acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, then was sued in civil court where a jury found him liable for their deaths and awarded damages of $33.5 million. In Blake's case, the jury awarded $30 million, a figure Simpson said was suspiciously similar.
"It was too coincidental," he said.
In both trials, he said, lawyers were aware that the acquitted defendants were out of money and would not be able to pay the damages. Blake has said he's broke and owes money to the Internal Revenue Service. Before the trial began, Blake tried to settle with the family for $250,000, which he said was the remainder of his once-large fortune. They rejected the offer.
Simpson, a former football star at the University of Southern California and in the NFL, moved to Florida where he lives on a pension that is untouchable to satisfy court judgments.
"Trust me," Simpson said. "I'm happy with my life. I'm not complaining."
Simpson said he hopes that someone eventually will go the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge the system that allows double trials.
"I'd love to see the Supreme Court rule on one of these cases," he said. He also noted that a defendant must have the money to post a bond to appeal the judgment, which is usually beyond their financial ability.
Asked if he had any advice for Blake, he said, "If Robert Blake has friends and family around him, he'll do fine. I would give him the same advice I gave Michael (Jackson). You've got your kid. Go and raise your kid."
He added, "To me, the thing that's most disturbing is to watch these lawyers grand standing. It's all for TV and for the book deals. I predict they will make a book deal. They did it in my case

Tweety badmouthing Dems on MSNBC now. Dems are taking "cheap shots" about the war; but the Repug vote last night was not a cheap shot.

I wish Tweety's pumpkin head would explode.
Just sayin'!

Prince Fuckwit doesn't want to admit he was wrong.
He doesn't care how many people have to die for his mistake.

She sounds even worse when you see the video than when you just read the transcript.
What's great is how all the Dems have identified themselves with the term "cowards"! Well at least the Dems got that one thing right. LOL.
Cheers!

So, Steve, where in Iraq are you? Which military division do you fight for?

You know, I can't help but wonder what the Internets would have looked like if we'd had the 'net during Vietnam. Want to bet this EXACT SAME discussion would have happened?

Dean fights them here, so he won't have to fight them there. How convenient.

I'd like some enterprising reporter (boy, the idea just about dies right there, doesn't it) to call Col. Danny Bop and see if he really did ask Schmidt to stand up before Congress and call a fellow Marine a coward. Having known many Marines, it's not their usual style to call one another cowards.

The Evangelist in Chief! I thought that idiot FAlweel and his compadre Robertson were on that job? And how has Bush's faith been a boon to anyone? The world is a mess because he's applied his homebrewed dry drunk faith upon the country. A mature and healthy country would have outgrown faith. Darwin says as much. Only the strong will survive, and those driven by faith are the weakest. Railing against faith is ?

Col. Danny Bop
Is his nickname "Unskinny", by any chance?

All these trolls have are the same winger talking points.
And I think it's hysterical how these Chickenhawks are calling other people "cowards."

I'm proud of Harold Ford Jr. Last night he sounded like a Real Democrat on Hardball. I hope this fight woke up the fence sitters - the Rethugs were willing to trash one of their best moderate dems - to boost the presidents poll numbers.
They have no shame.

I'll be impressed with H. Ford when he starts sounding like a "Real Dem" on one or more of his just-about-weekly appearances on Imus. He's the D verson of McCain--"reasonable" and "can't we all just get along."
Which of course explains why Imus likes him so much.

Why didn't the democrat not vote on that bogus Iraq withdraw resolution? When the vote was happening, they should have walk out in mass, in support of Rep. Murtha?
Man, I wish I could love the Democrats as much as I hate the Republicans!

What a flaming moonbat. I wish Hackett had won, but Jean's certainly providing comic relief.

Rep. Jean Schmidt’s recent display of Republican theatrics on the floor of the House of Representative illustrates the difference between Republicans and Democrats:
For Republicans, patriotism is a trophy in a self-indulgent contest of flag-waving and war cheerleading; for Democrats, patriotism is the act of putting the needs of the country ahead of the indulgences of the Id.
In typical Rovian fashion, Schmidt has built her career on attacking war veterans -- first Paul Hackett, now Rep. Murtha.
While Republican warmongers engage in a Freudian display of adolescent ego masturbation, women like Schmidt play cheerleader from the sidelines.

Someone please explain to me why all of you can call Bush a liar, non-stop for 3 years (without any proof (unless you are going to redefine the definition of the word "lie"), that Rhandi Rhodes can call for Bush's assination (twice!) and you immediately go straight to the crying towel as soon as a Republican Congresswoman quotes a letter from a Marine currently fighting in the war on terror that "cowards cut and run."
The reason, of course, is that the truth really hurts!
Bush ran unashamedly on his record in 2004. He won by 3 million votes. Get over it!
