GravatarTweety's a poseur?

Alert the media!!!


It's kind of like Bush claiming he's a rancher and a "man of the people."


GravatarIf the Democrats are in such a strong political position, why isn't the election over already, huh?

GravatarSo, will we watch MSNBC's election coverage tuesday (coanchored by Tweety and our Keith) or CNN's cause they hired our Duncan?


GravatarJust the fact that these chumps have health care insurance separates them from most of the working class angst.

GravatarAt least tweety gave dewine shit when he started spouting his crap
but gop saturday whore contessa brewer said nothing

Brewer also interviewed a plain dealer reporter who described the campaign this way
Brown --critical of Dewine for failure to attend committee meeting for the foreign affairs committee
Dewine critizes BRown for not introducting legislation the reporter pointed out since Brown is a Democrat the Republicans control that process

MSCRAP bobble head then lets dewine lie about Brown and fake story he is trying to promote which Tweety shut him down for...


GravatarI thought that was a well written letter.

GravatarTweetie, Leslie and the rest have zero connection to "the working man." They're out-of-touch millionaire entertainers who haven't had any non-official contact with anyone making less than $100,000 in years. They're desperately whoring for the GOP because they want to hang on to the tax cuts that we couldn't afford, and can now afford even less now that the Republican Congress has been spending like a drunken sailor for six years.

North Side Story


GravatarIt's the pretense, common to Matthews, Russert, O'Reilly, Hannity, and Limbaugh, that they're the underdog. They believe that their white male bitterness is legitimate because they're descended (often at a great distance) from immigrant laborers.



They just can't stand these uppity women/gays/minorities getting a share of what they feel entitled to!


GravatarI think you should give us kitties at least ONCE before the election.

What's astonishing is how Atrios has done it with the suckiest blog ever.

General Zod



That's not election coverage.

It's a GOP pep rally.


GravatarEvery Democrat who is interviewed by these whores should ask them "Hey, Tweety, what's your monthly mortgage payment? Car payment? Student loan payment? Credit card balance?" Guess what, they're all $0. "What's your salary, Tweety? Now, go ahead and say what you were about to say about the minimum wage. Or 'jobs Americans don't want.' Or how great the tax cuts have been for working families."


Gravatarnah, cnn didn't hire me, just paying for travel and room. and hopefully drinks.

Atrios,

Make them pick you up in "a car." Seriously. They won't respect you until you do. Think of me as your mom, nagging you.

He's a very egotistical ass. I didn't realize the extent of his self-worship until he was on Real Time several weeks ago.

Remember the scene in Being John Malkovich when Malkovich goes inside himself and everyone then looks like John Malkovich? That's Tweety's world.


GravatarI grew up not far from Tweety in Somerton (far Northeast Philadelphia). The neighborhood's certainly tougher than Radnor or Princeton, but it is not especially blue-collar.


An attorney in my building went to high school with Tweety.

Said he was a douchebag then.

GravatarHere's my plan for what happens when the Dems take charge in the House:

Grandmother Pelosi (may her tribe increase) cuts off funding for the Iraq War, thus ending it. A good chunk of the freed-up money now goes to the VA, to take care of the veterans so grievously abused by the Republican administration. And she brings the troops home -- and uses another good chunk of the freed-up money to put them to work REBUILDING THE GULF COAST.

And of course another chunk of the freed-up money goes into restoring the Fairness Doctrine, investigating corruption, and whatever other good things Grandmother Pelosi (may her tribe increase) thinks should be done.


GravatarI think I needs me some lunch. And I needs to go do some of the work I brought home.

Ack.


GravatarI have a choice between tv or reading the blog on election night. Because the commentary here is so much better than on tv, I would rather be here. Maybe Atrois could take his camera and posts a few photos of the goingson.


GravatarWhy does Tweety hate John Kerry
he has a rich wife too


GravatarHave you given that grey kitty a proper boy's name yet?

Nope. Never. Lola he is.

GravatarGreat quote from Johnathan Rauch in today's National Journal:

Ideological purity, party loyalty, and Republican control have thus produced an experiment in which a fiercely partisan and ideologically compact minority runs the entire government, locking out Democrats and alienating many independents. Like a one-armed canoeist, this lopsided rule has delivered neither efficiency nor effectiveness.

GravatarYou are an evil fuck.

I had a female rat named "Uncle Keith" and I always referred to my cat as a she, even though it definitely was a boy.

Gender is irrelevant to pets. Particularly neuter pets.


GravatarThat gray kitty is SO adorable.

GravatarNTodd:

just looked at your homepage.

Sam looks so much better!


GravatarTweety doesn't learn very well when what's at issue is something like his fetish for "manly men." He's still trumpeting this characteristic as if it's a good thing to seek even though such pursuit led to the chimp's disastrous regime. Remember the BS about preferring the chimp as a drinking partner over Gore or Kerry and how it got so much mention as a criterion for assessment? Rather than decrying this silly basis for preference because of the trouble it can produce, Tweety just goes on employing it blissfully unruffled by its obvious idiocy.


GravatarA fuck cannot be evil. "Fuck" (as a pejorative human title) means someone so inept he's good only for one thing.


GravatarDid you just now get the memo?

Just reminding people.

As long as you don't forget to call them for dinner, they don't care what you call them!


GravatarEven though the British election anchors aren't the common man -- they're the Dimbleby brothers, making them news aristocracy -- there's not the same sense, esp. with the BBC, of them being multi-millionaires in a bubble.

I think it's the London thing. If you live in London, you take the Tube and go to the pub. You use the NHS and send your kids to state schools. If you're a media whore in DC, you're in the equivalent of a Green Zone.


GravatarSam looks so much better!

Yes, he's healed nicely, thanks. And the fur on his neck is growing back where the vet shaved it, so he doesn't look overly ragged anymore.


Gravatarfourlegs - O Nikki was beautiful! What a gorgeous kitty.


GravatarAs long as you don't forget to call them for dinner, they don't care what you call them!

I dunno, people used to think Nikki was a girl, cause he was little and all cute and fluffy.

He would get visibly annoyed. Funniest thing ever.


GravatarI could just picture Tweety walking into one of the many corner bars in my hometown. And getting robbed and his ass kicked. He reeks of phony.


GravatarTweety's idea of a "manly man" seems to be the John Wayne type.


Sorry, but Marion's walk always looked swishy to me.


GravatarIsn't Mike Dukakis the son of an immigrant greengrocer or something?

Not that it matters, but Dukakis's father was a physician.

GravatarIf you or anyone you know is having trouble at the polls, call 866-OUR-VOTE.

It's an informational hotline run by the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights. It does two things:

1) They can help you on the spot, including intervening with election officials to remind them of your rights under federal and state law, and contacting the secretary of state if necessary on your behalf, and

2) If there is a pattern of problems in your area (people being unduly denied right to vote, precincts not opening on time), they can deal with it in real time. This happened in Maryland on primary day and they were instrumental in getting a court order to keep polls open for an extra two hours.

That's 866-OUR-VOTE. It's already up and running for early voting and will be on line all day on election day.

GravatarBeautiful sunset pics, NTodd. You live in a such a lovely part of the country - you're lucky.


GravatarA starving white cat moved in with me when I moved here in June. Big boned, polydactyl front paws. I (mistakenly) thought poly-toes was a female cat trait, like Calico markings, so took the cat we named Mama-San to the vet for neutering and worming. I never thought to actually check the license plate. The vet prepped and started the hysterectomy, and discovered not only no female organs, but that HE'd already been neutered. He was still Mama-San for a while, but now I guess we just call him "Feets". He is wierdly skilled with those polytoes, it's almost like he has opposable thumbs. He's grown much bigger and heavier, too, and is sweet.


GravatarJust went down to the library for early voting and it was a mob scene, most everyone wanting to take a piece out of the repukes.


GravatarAnd she brings the troops home -- and uses another good chunk of the freed-up money to put them to work REBUILDING THE GULF COAST.

Not so sure. He made his name being all Monica all the time and he hates, hates, hates, hates, hates him some Hillary. I imagine that Nancy Pelosi will push many of the same buttons that Hillary pushes.

Seriously, has any American politician in memory ever been the son of an immigrant? Spiro Agnew maybe? Lincoln might've been "born in a log cabin he built himself," but by the time he was looking for office he was a well-off attorney for the railroads. You know what's really a trend with them, with Hamilton and through the modern era with Fried Man is marrying into wealth, then lecturing people about hard work.

GravatarJust in time for cornflakes...

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com...ives/ 010789.php
TPM Reader JD checks in from Baghdad:

"But first this Breaking News, Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death today in Iraq."
That is how the Sunday talk shows will begin tomorrow, two days before the U.S. elections. All indications are that capital punishment is a go, a curfew is tentatively scheduled for tonight or tomorrow morning in much of Iraq to protect against the likely backlash. Saddam will be able to appeal, probably over about two months. The appeal to voters, though, will be how important it is to remain strong, stay the course, during the next two days -- most particularly Tuesday: this time, we've really turned the corner. . . .

Saddam will likely be sentenced during the wee hours EST, in plenty of time to round up "experts" for the panel shows: "Despite the violent reaction we are seeing, this really is one of the key indicators of progress and ongoing commitment we have been looking for..." You know the drill.

GravatarThese assholes are trying, not very well, to convince people that they are not part of the problem, that is, the monied lazy parasite class that needs to be eliminated from this society, its members dressed up in golf clothing, stripped of all assets and plastic money, and kicked into the streets of Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland in January and left to fend for themselves.

Then they'll earn the right to think they're just "one of the masses".

5 Tax the church.


It occurred to me, in and around the death of habeus corpus, that if that part of Magna Carta was being removed, so too should the financial protections of the churches.


GravatarOne sobering thought in the midst of all this grand theater as the Republicans trip, fall and then run against a wall to skewer themselves with a sword.

What is bad news for the Republicans is bad news for all of us. If the war is going badly, well, it goes badly for all of us. If they released nuclear secrets, it is bad for all of us. If the reality is the economy is not so hot, well, it is not so hot us as well.

And so on.

What they fundamentally don't understand is that the reason for the "separation of church and state" is to keep the damn state out of the church.

They don't realize why the Founders felt this was so important. But then again, the Founders were learned men who studied history, and those who are vehement about eroding the wall are ignorant, preacher-addled twits.


Gravatarre church and state
Once you learn to see beyond the American Defamation League's mythohistory and get to the actual story of Jewish persecution, you see that 1, it happened differently in Europe than anywhere else, 2, it happened worse in Europe than anywhere else, and that most of all 3, it was so tied into the smearing of church and state in the new Dark Age Christian theocracy that it is impossible to state definitely if it was cause or result. Classical Jew hate, far from being a racial characteristic of all Jews everywhere in every time period, is actually the starkest theme of European Christian government and is the single strongest argument against church-state smearing known.

GravatarTweety was a speech writer for Carter.

I think he was an entire fifth column all by himself.


GravatarIslamofascist terrorists endorse Democrats;

Of course Americans should vote Democrat," Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, and infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, told WND.

"This is why Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq," said Jaara, speaking to WND from exile in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered deal that ended the church siege.

Jaara and others told WND that they believe if the Democrats come into power because of the party's position on withdrawing from Iraq, that ensures victory for the worldwide Islamic resistance.

...

Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said the Democrats' talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel "proud."

"As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk," he told WND. "Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal."

Gravatarat wmr:

FBI trains its own civilian "Stasi" force. Across the United States, private citizens have been deputized to "assist" the FBI in counter-terrorism and counter-intelligence activities. They are graduates of the little-known FBI Citizens Academies, 25 training academies across the United States that have trained citizens in firearms use, collection and preservation of physical evidence, FBI organization, communications, counter-intelligence operations, and drug enforcement. Participants in the program must obtain a security clearance, be a recognized business, civic, religious, or community leader, be 21 years of age with no prior felony conviction, and live or work within the jurisdiction of a participating FBI field office. FBI civilian academy graduates work closely with state and local police.
Started in 1993 at the Phoenix Field Office, FBI Citizens Academies now exist in Albany (NY), Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbia (SC), Dallas, Denver, Honolulu, Jacksonville, Kansas City, Little Rock, Memphis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Newark (NJ), Omaha, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Portland (OR), St. Louis, and Washington, D.C.
FBI Citizens Academies train their students in the use of the following weapons: 357 Magnum Smith and Wesson revolver; Glock model 22; MP-5 10mm; the U.S. military standard .223 M4 carbine; Glock Model 23; Glock Model 27; and the 12-gauge Remington shotgun.
"The Gestapo gathered much of its information from private citizens. Even children were taught to report on their parents. The Gestapo's main sources, however, were Nazi party officials who constantly monitored the activities of all citizens [and] used such information to track political opponents."

GravatarFrom WMR -- October 24, 2006 -- US Air Force official's past raises eyebrows. On December 7, 2005, the US Air Force officially recognized "cyberspace" as one of its warfare domains -- along with air and outer space. In early November, Air Force officials will gather in Washington to form a new US Air Force Command -- the Air Force Cyberspace Command. It will have authority to launch wars in cyberspace. The new command is largely the brainchild of Dr. Lani Kass, director of the Air Force Cyberspace Task Force.

Kass' past has many US government computer security officials puzzled and concerned. From 1979 to 1981, Kass served as a Major in the Israeli Defense Forces. This was at a time when Israel was targeting America's most closely held secrets through its Navy spy, Jonathan Pollard. After her service in the IDF, Kass integrated into the Washington national security establishment, the private sector serving as an entree. From 1982 to1985, Kass was Director of the Russian Research Center at Booz-Allen and Hamilton, Bethesda, Md. (an odd name considering that Russia was then called the Soviet Union by every national security entity). From 1985 to 2005, Kass was Professor of Military Strategy and Operations at National War College at National Defense University in Fort McNair, Washington.

Kass previously served in the Dick Cheney Defense Department, having worked from 1992 to 1993 as Special Assistant to the Director, Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate (J-5), Joint Staff at the Pentagon. She returned to the Pentagon under Defense Secretary William Cohen and continued to serve under Donald Rumsfeld. From 2000 to 2001, Kass was Senior Policy Adviser and Special Assistant for Strategic Initiatives to the Director, Strategic Plans and Policy Directorate (J-5) and from January 2006 to the present, she has been the Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force, and Director of CSAF’s Cyberspace Task Force.

What the media fears most is that the Democrats have learned that it is folly to allow broadcast and cable to fall into the hands of their corporate enemies and that they will break up their monopoly over the most effective information source there is. Breaking up the media and forcing them to abide by standards of fairness and COMMUNITY SERVICE would destroy the Republican-fascist system that we are living under.

GravatarTena, I figured that there would be a lot of shredding going on in DC over the next two months. Just one more reason we need to get rid of the lame duck period.

Maybe if people realized that the President was going to take over the next day they'd pay more attention.


GravatarThe TPM item referenced by Richard - 2:19 pm seems plausible to me. I mentioned last night that it seemed reasonable to assume that our criminal regime deliberately assented to, if not directed, Saddam's being sentenced on election eve.

A lot of people generally observed (not in response to me, especially) that Saddam's sentence is ultimately irrelevant to the elections, that the usual Iraq clusterfuck is so routine that this particular event won't get much attention, etc.

I'm not sure what impact it will have, so I don't dispute these possibilities. But I do think that the maladministration indeed hopes that Saddam's doom being sealed will arouse lizard-brained wingnuts. The Nazgûl puppet-masters don't care if the wingnuts are secretly fantasizing that they're fucking bin Laden as long as they come on Tuesday.

I muck around HuffPo, with its infestation of palmetto-bug sized troll-lice, and I shun the trolls here, and try to remind myself that they're the 30% already in the bag forever. These perpetually jeering Orcs, the wingnut Uruk-hai, probably will perk up when Saddam is condemned.

I have a little angel named Tena on my right shoulder, rather in the manner of the "Columbia" icon best known in the avatar of the Statue of Liberty. She is the champion of We the People.

On my left shoulder is a little devil named WGG, rather in the manner of John Milton or Jonathan Swift. He is in the tradition of the Judaic Satan; the chief prosecutor of mankind rather than the enemy of Jehovah. Like the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, this figure points a long and unwavering finger at the multitudes of Yahoos, wingnuts, trolls, hypocrites, sheeple, simpletons, and rubes who are so readily manipulated by the plutocratic elites and remain forever in their thrall.

Each figure argues that they can't both be right, but I ain't so sure. If this Saddam stunt indeed inspires even a flicker of renewed sympathy for Republithug incumbents and candidates, it won't bode well for my right shoulder.

i linked to an article earlier this morning referring to 2 day-leaves for soldiers have been canceled due to the fear of increased violence ---no matter what the outcome.

and i don't think the timing of the sentencing is a mistake...


GravatarThere are a lot of things that Nancy Pelosi can do without getting the Senate or Bush to go along. For example:
If Democrats take the House of Representatives next week there are already some good plans in place. Nancy Pelosi and some other Democrats in Congress have some ready to go that don’t need the approval of the Senate or the executive. They could be put into effect by the House alone. Some of these are outlined in a press release from May of 2005, largely ignored by the media. There are some good ideas in it for cleaning up the accretions of corruption that have been building up for twelve years under conservative Republicans. Among other things it calls for these six principles:
* Ban Members from accepting any gifts from lobbyists.
* Ban Members from secretly working with corporate lobbyists to write legislation.
* Ban lobbying by Members of Congress and high level staff for two years after leaving Congress.
* Enforce the ban on Members and staff soliciting privately-funded travel.
* Ban lobbyists from arranging and financing travel.
* End the 'K Street Project' - ban Members and staff from threatening lobbyists with official actions.

GravatarAt work the other day one of the guys I work with started a conversation with "Have you hear of this guy called Michael Savage?"

Almost two years ago I was seated next to a True Believer on a flight to Seattle. We ended up yelling at each other. But even he was half-ashamed to admit he listened to Savage. He worshipped Rush, but he had enough of a conscience left to say, sheepishly, that he occasionally "even" listened to Savage.


GravatarI woder why John McCain really thinks about the kerry story I heard he's pretty pissed about the busho misreprsentation of the facts

I heard that you're dreaming. I heard that John McCain is a sick, cheap, twisted seeker of power who would do anything, anything, anything, just beginning with licking George Bush's sweaty balls while Bush calls McCain's wife a drug addict and McCain's adopted child a bastard if McCain thought for even a moment that it would bring McCain power. I heard that McCain would gladly watch another vet get ten times what McCain got in the Hanoi Hilton if it would keep McCain in power for even one more minute. I heard that McCain is a sick fuck who will stop at nothing to gain power.

But then, maybe you hear from better sources than I do. Although I doubt it.

Certainly, our friends in the MSM are going to play it up that way.


GravatarRichard--regardless of the verdict, the media will play it up as a "huge victory" for the republicans because that's what the whores are paid for.

GravatarHecate, McCain is such an obvious total shit that I am truly baffled by his appeal. It's another one of those imponderables I was chuntering on about above.

I can understand how at first, his personal history of being a POW would give him a huge reserve of gravitas and deference. And I can understand that this sort of bonus award of upfront, carte blanche respect, support, and goodwill would even carry him through setbacks, e.g. being one of the Keating Five.

And I can see how the media gobbled up the guy and launched the "Maverick McCain and the Straight-Shootin' Express" frame in tribute to him. I mean, really-- it's as if the McCain press pool got together and bought McCain a custom-built campaign bus because he's so darn fun to be with. Coincidentally enough, it's part of the same fetish appallingly exemplified by Tweety, as we've been discussing.

But even with all of that, watching Maverick eat Unitard™ shit and lick the plate afterwards, and seeing him take obvious cheap shots at Kerry, you'd think that some of the glow would've worn off by now.

GravatarYou know a chick who shares my Non-bathing Philosophy, honed over many years of laziness and fear of water and soap?

Europe - When I was in the AF, my German landlady asked me why I was taking a bath every day since it was winter. And in a visit I figured out why the french invented cologne.


GravatarI want to take a bath with owls...


GravatarSallyh - I'm using a bunch of their stuff. I used their powdered Vit. C, Hope and a Prayer, (looks exactly like cocaine, comes in a little brown vial like cocaine and there is a little tiny spoon included; ha!). I mix that with When Hope is not Enough serum and then I use Save Me Moisturizer PM and and Hope in a Bottle for day.

Love this shit - it's very reasonable and very effective.

GravatarIt's a tragic comment on our culture that a true patriot and a stand-up guy like Kerry, gets shit on.

it points out how much of the news is fake crap directly from Republican script - one the original lie was on the table there was no hope they four days worth of crap from -1)demanding candidates return the pac money 2)Kerry Quotes from Winter soldier hearings which have long been refuted 3)return of the swiftboats and 4)/demanding candidates cancel appearances with Kerry the apology was irrelevant they issued the call for the apology and Cheney's next day speech at the same time. It is one of the most dishonest pieces of mass crap journalism ever and while I'm not a Hillary fan anyway I did find her response kind of not helpful


Gravatar and while I'm not a Hillary fan anyway I did find her response kind of not helpful

That's being charitable.

I think she may, however, be politically quick enough on the uptake that she sees an advantage for her '08 run, she takes it. And that's what she's doing.

Either that, or she really has turned into a Repug. Can't figure that out. Sorry - I want to like her.


Gravatar(mccain) knew what he was saying.
