George "Fred Garvin, Male Prostitute" Bush
The Republicans advertised themselves as the party that would come in, clean up Washington, and do all those things that we wanted them to do- strengthen the national defense, instill fiscal responsibility, get government out of our lives, reduce the power of the federal government, curtail spending, and so on.
Like Fred Garvin, the GOP and Bush have sat on the edge of the bed telling us how good it is going to be, all the while begging us to not pay attention to the ugly prosthetics and hoping we won’t notice the poor performance. And when that fails to keep us distracted, they point to national defense.
So how is our national defense? Afghanistan is slipping into chaos, the military is broken and beaten and worn down and will need years to recover, and our pet project, Iraq, is an unmitigated disaster. In what was ostensibly an attempt to boost the morale of the troops and the country, the Secretary of State made a surprise visit to Iraq.
A surprise, unannounced visit. In a flak jacket.

Goodbye, friends. Have a great weekend. Looking forward to the Ralston-Rove-Abramoff scandal next week. Good money says that the redoubtable Ms. Ralston is about to be indicted.
Get in my belly!
I swear to god, I can't even go away and start dinner without the whole USofA starting to crumble even more than when I left.
Maybe I should stay away more. I know when I decided to root for Lieberman, he lost.
But I'm loving it, truly I am.
If Hastert stays there's a Republican Civil War over who replaces him.
If he leaves, it's a war for the Speakership, and voters get to be reminded about the scandals and flaws of the entire Republican leadership.
I really don't see why he just doesn't promise not to run for speaker in the next congress.
You are very, very bad.

Maybe that's why Atrios never links to me!
Where was tigre's link?
There's momentum, and there's its opposite: Hastertum.
Physicists have yet to calculate the force needed to counter Hastertum in order to generate involuntary movement.
Currently, experts are devising a test to measure Hastertum, based on the amount of pay he would need from ADM in order to leave his Congressional seat.

Wes Clark - "George Bush says stay the course," Clark said. "How can you stay the course when you're in a ditch? Joe Lieberman has been part of that ditch."
He added, "The truth is, (Lieberman) didn't control the steering wheel, but he was sort of supporting the elbow of the guy who drove us into the ditch."
Clark said the Iraq and Afghan wars have strained the military and asserted that America was losing the war on terror.
Lamont accused Bush of turning his back on the advice of top military advisers.
"When this president rushed us into war ... he didn't listen to the military, and that's one of the reasons we have this mess on our hands," Lamont said.

OT: One year on, Pakistan's desperate refugees pray for another miracle
Up to 1.8m survivors living in makeshift shelters as Himalayan winter closes in
Shelter is precious in the refugee camps along the rocky road north of Muzaffarabad, the battered capital of Pakistani Kashmir. Hardly an inch is vacant as tents, rickety shelters and half-destroyed houses jostle for space along a narrow strip of land between the steep mountains and a rushing, slate-blue river.
Unrepentant Fenian,
I like Rags Rinaldi's place near Rush Street for pizza too. (I think his implausible claim is the invention of the calzone.)
A very fond college memory is the pie at the Medici on 57th Street. They used to be right under the IC tracks, but I think they moved a few blocks west, closer to campus.
Either way, it works against the GOP. Resigning will be seen as admission of guilt. Not resigning means the story doesn't go away.

OT: British soldiers prepare for tough Afghan winter
· Whitehall says Taliban will keep on fighting
· UK general takes over expanded Nato force
British troops in Afghanistan face the prospect of fighting the Taliban throughout the winter, senior Whitehall officials warned yesterday, making it clear that military operations there were entering a crucial stage.
As a British general took command of an expanded Nato force - including 12,000 American soldiers - which will now operate throughout Afghanistan - the officials warned against assuming the Taliban would stop fighting over the winter months and wait until next spring to resume its campaign.
"Climatically in Helmand there is not snow, there are no high mountain passes," said a senior Foreign Office official, referring to the southern Afghan province that will be the base for 4,500 British soldiers, including the Royal Marines' 3 Commando Brigade, for the next six months. "It must therefore be conceivable to see continuing operations throughout the winter."
Why does David Shuster keep calling CREW a "liberal group?"

A terror raid that doesn't make the headlines - despite chemical explosives and a rocket launcher
Here's a police seizure of weapons that wasn’t splashed all over the front pages.
This week a British National Party election candidate has been accused of possessing the largest amount of chemical explosives of its type ever found in the country. That’s right, the largest ever - imagine if he’d been an Asian man. Home secretary John Reid would have held a special press conference and it would have led every news bulletin.
The home of another man charged with similar offences contained a rocket launcher and a nuclear biological suit as well as BNP literature and chemicals!
Robert Cottage of Talbot Street, Colne, and David Bolus Jackson of Trent Road, Nelson, made separate appearances in court charged with being in possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose.
Cottage was arrested at his home on Thursday of last week, while retired dentist Jackson was arrested in the Lancaster area on Friday.
The 22 chemical components recovered by police are believed to be the largest haul ever found at a house in this country. Cottage stood as a BNP candidate in the Pendle council elections in May.
Not only should he stick it out, he should go on television every single day between now and the election, just to assure the American people he's on the case. They need to see his smiling face.
At least, I assume that's meant to be a smile. That. . . thing. . . he does.

Hastert should stay. He embodies Gooper values, namely, when faced with a scandal, first deny you knew anything about it. Then say well, yes, you did know something, but you just found out about it and the evidence was ambiguous. Then admit that you knew about it well before you first admitted knowing about it. Then admit the scandal is far bigger and worse than you first admitted. Then blame the victims and the media for making the scandal public. Finally, admit responsibility while still saying it's the victims and media's fault.

How in the name of all that's holy would Tucker Carlson know what's good for America? Look at the record of Lying Bastard: An absolute mess in Iraq. A resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan. 46 million Americans without health insurance. Crappy job growth. Budget deficits. A national debt of more than 8 trillion dollars.

9/11 hijackers on US no-fly list
A US no-fly list used to try to prevent terror attacks includes the names of 14 of the long-dead 11 September hijackers, US news channel CBS reports.
Jailed former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein also features on the list, which has been seen by CBS's 60 Minutes programme.
The names of Bolivian president Evo Morales and Lebanon's parliamentary speaker, Nabih Berri, also appear.
A former FBI agent told the programme the list was assembled hastily.
The document lists 44,000 people banned from flying in the US, and was drawn up after the 2001 attacks on the US, the programme reports.
It includes names shared by thousands of people, such as Gary Smith, John Williams and Robert Johnson.

That's interesting. Yesterday on ABC News, Stephanopolis was going very easy on Hastert, and really pulling back, saying the chances look good that he'll survive, no big story here, let's move along..
Probably cause of ABC reporting, he had to backpedal so they don't look like vultures,.. but it was funny watching him all but dismiss the entire matter...

Hastert told The Chicago Tribune that Clinton operatives knew about the allegations and were maybe behind the story's release. "I saw Bill Clinton's adviser, Richard Morris, was saying these guys knew about this all along," he said. "When the base finds out who's feeding this monster, they're not going to be happy.... The people who want to see this thing blow up are ABC News and a lot of Democratic operatives, people funded by George Soros."

The Repukes would luv to spin this that the Dems knew about Foley and sat on the info, but the information is already out there proving that to be a Goebbels size lie. Repukes control the House. Have since 1994. Repukes run the page program. Have since 1994. They've known about Foley for years. And it isn't about being gay. It's about an adult initiating sexual conversation and contact with minors, minors who at least indirectly work for him.

I actually think the White House clean-up crew is doing a pretty effective job of Foley scandal damage control at this point. By pushing Hastert in front of the TV cameras yesterday, and by having Bush, Cheney, James Baker and everybody else express their support for him today, they've succeeded in drawing all the fire away from the other GOP leaders who also aided and abetted Foley's sexual exploitation of underage boys by covering it up and allowing it to continue. Seriously, it's working. It's all about Denny.
As I argued in the comments to the previous Hastert thread, the White House play here is to make Hastert hang on as Speaker to serve as a Foley scandal shit-magnet until they’re ready to launch a subject-changing pre-election stunt, at which point they’ll flush him down the toilet and hope he takes as much of the Foley scandal with him as possible.
The White House and leaders in the GOP are staring into the abyss right now: getting creamed at the polls in November and facing aggressive investigations on multiple fronts by a Democratic majority in the House armed with the power to issue subpoenas.
These guys are depraved, cynical and ruthless, and they don’t make any distinction at all between domestic politics and foreign policy, even (especially?) in matters of war. In all seriousness, my bet is the country is on Red Alert by the end of next week .
"When the base finds out who's feeding this monster, they're not going to be happy.... "
Is Denny referring to himself?
Any time the Goopers and their shills talk about Nancy Pelosi not being good for America, they need to be reminded of that fat pc of shit that is the speaker now.

Whoops. Karl Rove threw a party for dozens of White House staffers at Jack Abramoff's restaurant in January 2004, but was not charged, according to a new story in the National Journal (not available online).
The senior White House adviser only paid his tab at Abramoff's Signatures restaurant this May, the magazine reports -- after Abramoff had pled guilty to multiple felonies, including conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Approximately 50 operatives from Rove's office attended the party, for which Rove was ultimately charged $995. NJ's Peter Stone says they "munched on pricey hors d'oeuvres" as they listened to Rove give a pep talk. Rove made the reservation for the private room through Susan Ralston, his personal aide who resigned earlier today because of her ties to Abramoff.
The first 10 minutes were brutal.

Guards at Guantanamo Bay bragged about beating detainees and described it as common practice, a Marine sergeant said in a sworn statement obtained by The Associated Press.

Other guards "also told their own stories of abuse towards the detainees" that included hitting them, denying them water and "removing privileges for no reason."
"About 5 others in the group admitted hitting detainees" and that included "punching in the face," the affidavit said.
"From the whole conversation, I understood that striking detainees was a common practice," the sergeant wrote. "Everyone in the group laughed at the others stories of beating detainees."

Prisons just 'days' from capacity
Britain's prisons face a crunch weekend as figures showed the number of inmates nearing capacity.
The latest figures from the Home Office show that jails in England and Wales have room for just 125 more prisoners before reaching the maximum.
The possibility of transferring prisoners between EU countries came up for discussion at a meeting between Home Secretary John Reid and his European counterparts in Luxembourg but a decision is not expected to be imminent.
Officials are also considering more immediate options to ease the pressure including using cells at police stations - a strategy known as Operation Safeguard - to house prisoners.

Craig Crawford (MSNBC, was on Countdown last night) is another concern troll. "well, yes this scandal is good for the Dems but they've got to get their message together, blah blah."
This scandal is the gift that keeps on giving because it is symbolic of the rampant republican corruption. What else are they hiding?

"If they throw Denny Hastert off the sled to slow down the wolves, it won’t be long before you’ll be crying, ’Hey, you’ve got to throw somebody else over because they knew about it too,”’ Baker said.
It takes a pack of wolves about three weeks to consume a bison's entire carcass.
So with Hastert that would give the Republiscum until after the election then.

The Foley scandal is not -- as even some Bush opponents have asserted -- an aberrational, isolated, inconsequential melodrama that is unrelated to the substantive and important critiques of the Bush movement and which just coincidentally emerged as a cynical weapon that can be used to defeat the Republicans. The opposite is true. This scandal has resonated so powerfully because it is shining such a powerful light on the towering hubris, utter lack of intellectual and ethical integrity, and deeply engrained corruption that accounts for virtually every other Bush disaster -- from Iraq to law-breaking scandals to torture to Abrahmoff-type corruption schemes and everything in between.
I love that album that has the recording of Stipe completely drunk off his ass and singing "King of the Road" very badly.

White House play here is to make Hastert hang on as Speaker to serve as a Foley scandal shit-magnet until they’re ready to launch a subject-changing pre-election stunt, at which point they’ll flush him down the toilet and hope he takes as much of the Foley scandal with him as possible.

Truce halts Bolivia mine violence
A truce has been called in a violent confrontation between miners in Bolivia that has left 16 dead and more than 60 injured, government officials say.
The truce will allow the state-employed and independent miners to discuss a solution to the control of the key tin mine in the town of Huanuni.
The two days of clashes are a major test for President Evo Morales, who sent in 700 police to quell violence.
Both sides have been fighting each other with guns and dynamite.
"Everyone in the group laughed at the others stories of beating detainees."
Ah. The Dutch have a phrase for this kind of reminiscing: "Ah, de lachen dat we hebben!" Roughly translates to "Oh, the laughs we shared." Always used a bit sarcastically.

Another Greenwald paragraph...
But for so many reasons -- its relative simplicity, its crystal clarity, the involvement of emotionally-charged issues, the salacious sex aspects -- this Foley scandal circumvents that whole dynamic. People are paying attention on their own. They don't need pundits or journalists to tell them what to think about it because they are able to form deeply held opinions on their own. None of the standard obfuscation tactics used for so long by Bush followers are working here. To the contrary, their attempted use of those tactics is making things much worse for them, because people can see that Bush followers are attempting -- through the use of patently dishonest and corrupt tactics -- to excuse the inexcusable. And seeing that, it gives great credence to all of the accusations voiced over the last five years that this is how the Bush movement operates in every area, because people can now see it for themselves.
Well, those that need a kitty fix can head to my home page.

Fuck James Baker. Baker doesn't know shit from Shine-ola.
Baker was on NPR yesterday saying that connecting the oil industry to this administration is a stretch. He said there has never been a conflict of interest because people recuse themselves from committes accordingly. Also the oil companies are vilified and are not as evil as they are made out to be.

The pure tenor quality of the voice of Harold Montgomery
Gives a special interpretation to the grand old hymn "The Old Rugged Cross"
Chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave as they reveal their
Innermost selves with the outpouring of their hearts
On and on the songs roll and soon you are caught up
In the sermon in each rendition as you come to feel
The devotion and dedication that is poured forth
Suddenly, you know they are real, they mean it!
Al Gore farts, but he buys credits for his emissions.

Yup.
That's pretty much it.
Heidi farts, especially when she is most relaxed, it seems to be a Burmese thing, cause Dieter (a burmese we had before but sadly passed away a few years back) used to fart also.

True, but the Rover seems off his game. I get the feeling there was some kind of agreement with Fitzpatrick over what can and cannot be traceable to him. He's looking over his shoulder more these days, and he doesn't have a Presidential candidate to rail against.
There will be crap, no doubt, all spun by the mighty Wirlitzer, but the line they must toe, both Karl specifically and Foleygaters generally, is a bit finer than they've faced in recent years.

Dear Little Pig,
Last year the Chicago White Sox won the World Series, winning eleven of twelve games, sweeping the ALS, sweeping the World Series. Please don't imply that Chicago doesn't know how to win.
The Cubs may not know how to win, but that is not the same as Chicago. Here on the South Side, we understand what needs to be done, and by God we have done it.

yeah, but it is irritating to hear the constant refrain of "dems dont have a plan." how hard would it be to run a couple of ads in a few markets that did present a plan. assuming the cable shows would amplify the effect by replaying the ads. yes, pelosi put out some things, but not everybody watches cspan or listens to air america.
kinda disconcerting to consider carville's outfit did it for some goon in bolivia. put out an ad that spelled out step by step what the candidate planned to acomplish. why cant they do that here?
of course the timing would be off to do so now. would step on the toes of the foley scandal. let's hope dnc door hangers, precinct walkers, and phone banking do the trick instead.

There is only so far you can spin soliciting a minor working for you and then the leadership covering it up. That being said, Rove's play usually comes at the last minute to get the sensational aspect before the media sorts out the truth for the sheeple. Either way this whole administration and congress will be bad for the GOP in 08.
Unfortunately my wedding vows included a committment to love, honor and follow the Cubs (in fact we are overdue for our every-5-year pilgrimage to Wrigley Field).
Not Chicago teams generally, the Cubs specifically. No offense to Chicago meant beyond the Cubs, and they are offensive beyond my poor power to add.

Greenwald also says...
UPDATE: The favorite "news" source for Bush followers, Matt Drudge, has been revealed, yet again, to be nothing more than a purveyor of fiction and lies. The lawyer for the page who was the subject of Drudge's report, Steven Jones (the lawyer for Timothy McVeigh), denounced the Drudge item as "a piece of fiction" and said that "there is not any aspect of this matter that is a practical joke nor should anyone treat it that way" (h/t TPM Muckraker). Ironically, many Bush followers touted the fact that the page had hired such a credible and publicly known lawyer as proof that Drudge's story was significant.
I'd say that it's evidence that Drudge is going to get hit with a defamation lawsuit.
