HULK SMASHED
Moi?
Behold, the Mighty Clenis!!
Well, it looks like I have Bill Clinton's penis all to myself.
[looks at watch]
So, Bill. You come here often?
Why, yes, I am a Leo.
So, I hear Anne Kornblut's got the hots for you.
Why don't they just get though it by publishing a full page picture of it on page one , an then have all their columnists get a whole page each to give their description of it and thought on how it has changed world history and destroyed the United States.
Maybe the pages will all be stuck together by the time it arrives on everybody's doorstep, but after that their heads should be clear for a few hours of lucid thoughts.
Ann Kornblut's getting all Tweety's got these days.
Sorry to interrupt your daydreaming with my purile rant, WT.
Big Time on Timmeh tomorrow. Will Pumpkinhead put all Big Time's previous MTP lies on screen and challenge him?
Big Time on Timmeh tomorrow. Will Pumpkinhead put all Big Time's previous MTP lies on screen and challenge him?
What lies?
my favorite Big Time lie is " No, I never said that."
Big Time on Timmeh tomorrow. Will Pumpkinhead put all Big Time's previous MTP lies on screen and challenge him?
It won't happen, but I like to imagine Timmeh getting Big Dick so worked up the later strokes out on TV.
Sunday morning drinking game -- one for each time Big Time sez "if you will,"
It's fun to watch Big Time lie so casually to the American People!
It is important to squelch this revisionist nonsense now, or your grandchildren will read in their history books (if there are still books, if there are still public schools) how Clinton's dick slammed into the WTC, and how Michael Moore -- did I mention he's fat? -- personally sat on the Pentagon, on 9/11.
Rumor volat.
Good morning!
Finally watched last night's Countdown. Thank the goddess for Keith is all I can say.
What gets me mad, though, is that for years we on the left have been called paranoid, unhinged, moonbats -- and as day after day goes by, it turns out we were right about EVERYFUCKINGTHING.
Oh, Mrs. Gummo tried to get her fundy Bush-loving mother to watch Countdown -- well, she tried it but declared it was just "fluff."
She's a poster girl for the denial that runs through the Bush cult.
Big Time on Timmeh tomorrow. Will Pumpkinhead put all Big Time's previous MTP lies on screen and challenge him?
Of course not: that would be aiding the terrorists and pissing on the graves of the victims, wouldn't it?
Can someone kidnap Timmeh and replace him with a journalist?
Keith is mature eye candy, but not fluff!
I once smoked Clinton's penis, but I didn't inhale.
Did a little birdie whisper in Ann Kornblut's and Jennifer Medina's ears that they should grill Lamont about Lewinsky?
It could be that they're jealous 'cause Monica got to Clinton's cock before they did.
How many of the 150,000 "signatures" on the petition intended to intimidate ABC from airing an examiniation of the Clinton Administration's criminal negligence regarding terrorism, one that culminated in 9/11 only months after Clinton left office and left America holding the bag, would pass muster in a legal challenge?
Approximately zero, I'd say. What a fucking joke.
Man, did someone just fart?
If Timmeh actually does run video of Gloria Borger asking about the Prague connection on CNBC, then Big Time on MTP proving himself a liar, then Jay Rockefeller refuting the Prague connection, then I will have a bloody mary the size of Delaware.
It's ralf-inducing watching these wingers bring up Moore in their defense of "The Path to 9/11".
The Clenis is indeed mighty.
The limpdicked right has now spent 14 years trying to topple the Clenis.
But it stands tall & proud.
What gets me mad, though, is that for years we on the left have been called paranoid, unhinged, moonbats -- and as day after day goes by, it turns out we were right about EVERYFUCKINGTHING.
Ai-yup.
Philotheos, wow! Way to cut to the heart of the issue! Not.
NY Times motto: "If it engorges, it leads."
It's ralf-inducing watching these wingers bring up Moore in their defense of "The Path to 9/11".
Yes, because when Moore showed that tape of Bush sitting in the classroom, pissing himself, just sitting there with his deer in the lights look while hell was brewing elsewhere--that was all false, I'm sure.

But they really believe it.
In the reality-challenged winger mind, blatant fiction = documentary truth, if the fiction props up their delusions.
It's scary sick.
It is increasingly clear that the only people in the country that are sane are the "left wing wackos".
Is it just me or does Gordon Brown in the flight suit look exactly like Dan Ackroyd in the AP photo? (in Huffpost)

Just change the name of the paper to Clinton's Penis.

I wonder if they had to wipe the seat after he left.
I wonder if anyone kept the towel, or if the SS made them burn it.
What's next, you want us to provide evidence that Joe Lieberman doesn't beat his wife?
Actually, that would be great.

I'm sure the SS got all that stuff. Wouldn't do to have the Preznit look like less of a man than he actually is.
Which isn't a fuck of a lot.
Philotheos, keep repeating the lies to yourself dude, they are all you have left. The game is over, you lost.
What I want to know is: what's the GOP going to do when they don't have Clinton's penis to kick around any longer?
Are there two Dans? I mean Blues Bros. era Dan. Take a look.

from the seacoastonline:
Craig campaign cites 'push poll'
Paul Kiel of Talking Points Memo's Muckraker site wrote that a number of New Hampshire residents were called last weekend by a group identifying itself as Ventures Data. The residents were asked if they knew Bradley had voted against drilling in the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge, for stem-cell research and for re-importation of drugs from Canada, all of which are popular positions among local voters.
The respondents were then asked "15 leading, negative questions about Craig, according to those who alerted the Democrat's campaign," Kiel wrote. They allegedly included statements that suggested Craig favors gun control (he has not voted for any such measure as a member of the New Hampshire House, said his campaign staff), and that he voted against banning partial-birth abortions and gay marriage.
Kiel reported that by the end of the poll the respondents were not asked about their opinion of Craig.
This poll allegedly has the characteristics of a "push poll," which does not seek to gauge the public's opinion, but to sway voters' impressions of a candidate. The polling is illegal and can garner fines from the Federal Election Commission.
this story just made the portsmouth paper today - the primary election is Tuesday. I wonder how many voters were push polled.
also - it's illegal in NH - so the Republicans will have to pay a fine - if they are found guilty??? small price to pay to steal an election for this crowd. ugh!!!!!!!!
Watch me ignore the trolls:
I'm not sure I always like "srtong women." I'm listening to NPR and Steve and Deb doing harmonies as The Weepies.
They're beautiful in their way, but damn if she doesn't wipe him out, and deliberately. She knows he sings softer, and zonks him. That's not quite harmony.
The NYCP paper could then rate stories the way Hustler used to - using the penis indicator. Flaccid (left wing stuff), partially swollen - (has some mention of Clenis) and flagpole (full Clenis attention story).
portia - gun control is probably the single most important issue up here on the Western slope.
I think it's probably the major reason it's so damned Repug up here.
I don't know how Salazar got around that, but it makes me mad as hell that Democrats are perceived as the party that will take peoples' guns away.
I wish we had a sane country that wasn't so into its guns, but we don't.

This was a very slick push poll - they knew the issues that people care about - so they portrayed Bradley as in favor of those - citing his votes on particular bills. And they knew which ones to smear Jim Craig with- and btw - he never voted for gun-control so they are not above lying either.
The state Rs say they no nothing about this poll - they are probably right - this has the fingerprints of RoveInc. all over it, imho.
Just shot the fuckers a letter. Here goes:
Dear Editor,
Joe Lieberman supports a disastrous war in Iraq. Joe Lieberman is defeated by an upstart anti-war candidate from within his own party. Joe Lieberman defies Connecticut's democratic voters and remains in the race, threatening to break the party and yield the seat to the opposition.
From the New York Times' perspective, the most interesting facet of these remarkable stories is ... (drum roll) ... Bill Clinton's sex life.
Please keep up your wonderful work as guardians of the public discourse.
I'm inclined to believe the contempt toward Ned Lamont's money is something being fostered by the RNC as an over all talking point. Sen Kyl (R-Corrupt) has been sponsoring ads more or less continuously, accusing his presumed opponent of using his own money to run, presumably avoiding proper obligation to the Central Committee. It's very strange.

Great letter but I don't the The Grey Lady "does" sarcasm.
They'll probably read it and go, Wow, a positive letter for once!
egads what crispness
plantsman - it is and it's always hard when it comes down to this -
I'm homesick for my husband and my cat and my house down there but damn, it's so lovely up here. Geese are honking, osprey's fishing, purple mountain majesties everywhere.
But I'll be honest - I miss the city. The western slope is probably the least sophisticated part of this country and after awhile...
Big Time on Timmeh tomorrow. Will Pumpkinhead put all Big Time's previous MTP lies on screen and challenge him?
Don't be too sure that he won't... guys like Timmeh didn't get where they are without learning to suck up when it's time to suck up and turn their backs when they have nothing more to gain.
Change is in the air, and even the dullest media-types realize it, however much they want to deny it.
If he goes toe-to-toe with Big Time, he'll think of it as his "Cronkite Moment." And he might even be entitled to that.
I say it's fifty-fifty. I might even watch.

Prediction: if they print it (and they have printed one of my previous missives), they will drop the last sentence.

With the stress he's been under lately (trying to regain the glory he had immediately after his massive grave desecration of 9/11), I would imagine the bedwetting is once more on the rise. I'm thinking even Condi is, by now, sufficiently grossed out enough to wanna keep him at arm's length.
Has anyone else seen that video of the San Diego couple attacking that local Fox reporter? Natch, TeamRita snagged the first interview with the perp and his lawyer. Weird stuff in Murka.
Gummo,
Yup. They won't print letters that are openly hostile to them. The language must be couched in happy, fluffy terms.
I would love to see the letters Ms. Stanley's received.

Fugawie Indians Tell of Clinton's Penis In Creation Story
Historians are now agast that the entire history of the universe as we now know it must be rewritten. DNA evidence and new tubular artifacts have 'scientists' now convinced that Bill Clinton's penis is mentioned in one of the earliest native american creation stories, believed to be at least 15,000 years old. More as story develops. Also the phrase "Jump the Stingray" is mentioned at least 18 times in this creation story.
res ipsa -

this is what they'll print:
Dear Editor,
Joe Lieberman supports war in Iraq. Joe Lieberman is barely defeated by an upstart anti-war candidate from within his own party. Joe Lieberman bravely defies Connecticut's democratic voters and remains in the race.
From the New York Times' perspective, the most interesting facet of these remarkable stories is how Ned Lamont continues to fund Bill Clinton's sordid sex life.
If Hillary Clinton was even half the Machiavellian bitch that everyone says she is, Joe Lieberman would be dead in a dumpster within two hours of her reading that P.O.S.
Metaphorically speaking, of course.
Dr. Barmpot, I'm inclined to agree. If a Republican has wealth, he or she MUST 'deserve' it; if a Democrat does, something must be hinky.....

Does it have to be metaphorically?

Oh, holy crap in a harvest gold toaster:
US President George W. Bush has said in an interview that he was "interested in learning more" about the Iranian government. In a rare change of tone toward the Islamic state, Bush told The Wall Street Journal that he had personally signed off on granting a US visa to former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami , who made a series of speeches in the United States this week.

Timmeh being anything other than a neocon whore at this point is inconceivable.
I dunno... his producers can just load him up with video clips of lies and insist that Cheney explain 'em. I doesn't really have to even say that much.
But I definitely don't look for him to bounce up and down in his chair saying "No No No NO NO" like he did with Howard Dean.
Well, I got here late but these people who are so fixated on willies are a bunch of dick-heads so what did you expect?
An Inconvient Penis - Gore's Next Film
Suddenly, Chimpy's mind is a fecund open field, urgently seeking to grow intellectually......SPLUTT!
US President George W. Bush has said in an interview that he was "interested in learning more" about the Iranian government.
That's pretty ambitious, since he still hasn't learned much about the American government.

OT--Can you believe the Red Cross is STILL being careless, more than two decades into the AIDS epidemic?
The American Red Cross said money it makes selling blood will help cover the latest in a series of multimillion-dollar government fines. The Food and Drug Administration ordered the Red Cross on Friday to pay $4.2 million for violating blood-safety laws. The record fine is on top of $5.7 million the Red Cross already has been assessed by the FDA since a court settlement reached in 2003.
The latest fine is for violations that include failing to reject donors who had traveled to malarial areas and allowing blood and related products to be distributed without proper testing, said Margaret Glavin, the FDA's associate commissioner for regulatory affairs.
An Inconvient Penis:
Especially the part where Clinton's member swells and Gore has to get on the cherry picker to ceiling and point out where it stops. It has never been this high in the last 650,000 years; think about the implications of that. Sounds like we might be... naw?
Tena,
What elevation are you at?
I would love 39º right about now.
"US President George W. Bush has said in an interview that he was "interested in learning more" about the Iranian government."
George the Lesser is a scholar now! He's all about the book-learnin' and edumucation. He's a serious grownup elder statesman who lerns himself a bunch of things and makes informed decisions.
I feel all warm and fuzzy with the respect for this intellectually curious man of letters. I bet he doesn't even break the ice with new staffers by breaking the wind anymore. Or at least, not all the time.
But I definitely don't look for him to bounce up and down in his chair saying "No No No NO NO" like he did with Howard Dean.

Hey Nim,
I'm assuming all things are clear? Since your here?
So, do you think any of the bobbleheads will talk about something other than the crockumentary?
Probably not, because the other thing that happened last week was the release of the SIC documents showing that Cheney and Bush lied their cojones off about Saddam and Al Qaeda, and you know damn well there's a news blackout on that.

This is true. I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see all kinds of media figures suddenly get all Democratic and shit.
Well, the tipping point is when public sentiment has moved so far away from the propaganda they are spewing that the mass defection of listeners/watchers actually outweighs the general right-wing economic interests of the parent companies. A lot of people around here seem to believe that that point does not exist, but like you, I think it does and that we are nearing it.
you're. Sorry. Haven't even had coffee yet. Just rolled out of my comfy bed on this rainy morn.
At least The Paper of Record had the decency to issue a correction about the Alessandra Stanley thing.
Corrections
Published: September 9, 2006
The TV Watch column in Weekend yesterday, about the ABC mini-series “The Path to 9/11,” referred incorrectly to a conclusion of the commission that investigated the terror attacks. The commission said the accusation that President Clinton had ordered air strikes against Osama bin Laden in August 1998 to distract attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal was one of several factors that “likely had a cumulative effect on future decisions about the use of force” against Mr. bin Laden. It did not conclude that the scandal distracted the Clinton administration from the terrorist threat.
Vicki darling!

For now, yes.
Past performance, however, is no guarantee of future results.
Good Morning, Vicki. Welcome Aboard.
The commission said the accusation that President Clinton had ordered air strikes against Osama bin Laden in August 1998 to distract attention from the Monica Lewinsky scandal was one of several factors that “likely had a cumulative effect on future decisions about the use of force” against Mr. bin Laden. It did not conclude that the scandal distracted the Clinton administration from the terrorist threat.
In other words, the GOP and the neocon whore media are responsible for any subsequent lack of aggression in pursuing bin Laden. Thanks for clearing that up, Neocon Whore Times. How's Judy Miller doing these days? Still sending postcards?
Probably not, because the other thing that happened last week was the release of the SIC documents showing that Cheney and Bush lied their cojones off about Saddam and Al Qaeda, and you know damn well there's a news blackout on that.
Dr. Wu
Oh, and a few other things happened as well, like the decision to postpone hearings on the Bolton re-nomination.
So, Nim; Employment in Traverse City, or?
Here's something sure to interest the NYT (especially AdNags)
Retardo sheets.
I don't know, but if you ask me George W. seems especially forceful these days. Not forceful in the bad way Clinton was with the cigars and all, but forceful in a good way.
The NOR still hasn't corrected it's flawed coverage of the Whitewater real estate deal.
I'm doing just groovy! What about you?
Vicki, Who ? Al Gore
Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of people around here seem to believe that that point does not exist,
For the benighted masses addled by Jesus and NASCAR, that point does not exist. They will parrot whatever Rove pays Limbaugh to say until they drop dead from starvation. The question is, once you eliminate that category, how many Americans do you have left, and do they vote?
Dr. Barmpot,
If you had 36 hours in London, what would you do?

Ride the Tube - visit the National Portrait Gallery, pick up my order at India Office Library and Records, eat lunch at Liberty's, visit Hamley's, get a BIG BAG of Maids of Honour at the Maid of Honour in Kew, walk along the Thames and try and figure out exactly which building is The Circus.
Yeah, the Nat'l Portrait Gallery.
Have never been there.
Now, this is a toaster (and friends).

Nope. I decided to go for the brass ring with the second firm that interviewed me this week. Hope the gamble pays off. Fortunately, there are only 4 or 5 other people they're interviewing.

Truly, but I'm lucky enough to have one of the last of the true electric kettles from Toastess of Montreal.
My letter:
Ms. Medina:
Did you read the email that Ned Lamont sent Joe Lieberman in 1998? I'm sorry but it appears you didn't. Your selective quotation of the email ignores the content of the paragraphs just before and after the one that you quote.
Ned Lamont's clear intention in the paragraph you quote is to find a common ground with Senator Lieberman before stating his opinion that the Senator's speech denouncing President Clinton on the floor of the Senate had done great harm and led to a "snowballing mess".
Nothing that Mr. Lamont said this week departed from that initial expression of outrage in the behavior of both President Clinton and those who were conducting investigations into his private relationships. Just this week he reiterated the idea in this email that "if Clinton has a sex problem, mature adults would have handled this privately, not turned it into a political crusade". Surely, Senator Lieberman understood that this point was directed to him as well as Kenneth Starr.
Please, just because Senator Lieberman's campaign aides may portray this email as a smoking gun of the hypocrisy of Ned Lamont, it does not make it so.
Thank you for your attention. I hope you have the opportunity to revisit this topic and clear the misunderstanding that Mr. Lamont has somehow changed his stance.
(Incidentally, isn't there a war going on somewhere that might have a bit more immediacy than a sexual affair eight years ago?)
