I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
aha
Media whores.
bye for now 
bburton@barackobama.com to kvetch (politely, please; it works better) about Obama and FISA.
power abuser = serial wanker?
Journalists should have a strict code of ethics.
Basically, you should never get paid by anyone you are covering.
Nor should you hobnob with them on a social basis.
I know that sounds crazeeee.
Didn't some MSM mealy-mouthed piece of shit with no accountability just kick the bucket? What was his name?
OBAMA '08
well, I suppose I shouldn't be paying the yard man "under the table" either, but who's the worse off for it? I think this whole "rules" thing is fine for the children, but we can be left with our best judgement as we are, after all, adults.
Who exactly is this Broder again?
Are we still bitching about whatever it is people are pretending to believe Obama has done wrong?
I think it's actually going to rain here.
YAY!!

It's inconceivable that the Dean of Washington journalism, David Broder, broke the law!
Inconceivable!

Of course the rethugs are going to attempt to get up to no good. But it's not like Obama is going to be sitting there fat, dumb and happy singing disney tunes.

Yep.
We could really, really use the rain.

Still, some religious leaders wonder whether Obama's Christian-focused outreach might alienate Jewish and Muslim voters, for example, not to mention the Democratic Party's large secular wing.

Then I will demand that Obama stand up for them and condemn him for failing to take the lead.
Poor Broder is embarassed by the embarassment.
Circular jerk.

I don't give a fuck who he reaches out to as long as he doesn't try to make me a christian.
Then I will demand that Obama stand up for them and condemn him for failing to take the lead.
Well, that's okay with me.
As long as we condemn everyone else for not standing up as well.
I include Hillary in that. She's not busy now. Can't she lend a hand?
Cheney must be heart broken that he can no longer go to Russert to have his cock sucked.

Nothing to see there. He is a straight shooter.

yep. but I repaired what appeared to be a small typo in your depiction.

Obama's been consistently against the immunity, and says he will try and remove it from the bill when it gets to the Senate. What more do people want from him?
Oh...Wait a minute! I'm a Christian!

You might clarify that a bit. What's the connection between the two sentences above?
and says he will try and remove it from the bill when it gets to the Senate.
He supports the compromise and intends to vote for it next week.
No humor for me, sleep would be nice. I don't get much of that.
I suspect that the media is going to set a record this year with regards to passing concern trolling off as "reporting".

He said he supports it EXCEPT for the immunity.

Read Greenwald. It's not just about immunity, the bill makes legal bypassing the FISA court entirely making legal exactly what was wrong with the current regime's actions.
Hillary probably will not strongly go against Obama, the leader the Democratic Party. Though I strongly wish she would. If nothing else, it would be perceived as sour grapes. Maybe Dodd should take the lead on this one.
Iced coffee...

Well, Scott Simon assured me today that John McCain is not a racist, so Obama must be a racist for claiming racism will be raised against him in this race, and Simon concluded that could only mean McCain would bring it up, and since McCain wouldn't do that, Obama must be a racist because now no one can point out that Obama's black.
So when Obama points out that he's black, it's racism.

You might clarify that a bit.
I am not pretending to believe Obama did something wrong. He did something wrong. I believe that. I am not pretending to believe that. So I think I might want to continue bitching about it. Because I expect better from Obama. Apprently I will not get better from Obama, so I must be content with bitching about it.
But really it was the dismissal of the whole discussion as some sort of faux outrage.

Obama at 51% is good news for Republicans. He's really in trouble with voting block ______ .
McCain at 36% is popular. Everybody loves the straight shooter.

If she would go in and lead a filibuster against the immunity provisions that would be leadership and wouldn't be going against Obama.
I would applaud her.
Nothing wrong with her asserting a little leadership in the senate.
Happy Birthday, JP!

Eh, you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. She was happy enough to be a warrior for the working class when it meant she might win the nomination.

If that's the standard, nobody gets to speak.
Lots of people with money get "favorable mortgage terms." It's hardly corruption, even among public officials who, like Dodd, are usually very well off.

She could be the public face of that effort.

The only people who would get mad at Hillary for working against FISA are the ones trying to blame every ill that befalls the democratic party on Obama. They simply don't believe any democrat any where should do anything that might help the party while he's in charge unless he specifically orders it.
Reid supports it, but for the immunity provision. So what. What does that mean. Nothing without action. But we get meaningless words. there are 68 senators planning on voting for it as is. So is Obama going to support a filibuster? That is nothing. And that is what I am bitching about. Saying he'll work to remove it. Saying he'll support a filibuster. Those mean nothing and are no example of presidential leadership. When he tells 49 Democratic senators to get behind the filibuster and refuse to accept this compromise, then he'll be doing what he can to strip out the immunity.
I disagree with that.
No one is mad at her right now.

Not that anyone in here cares, but contrary to fears, they've rebuilt the Blue Moon Saloon in Divide, Montana which burned down a couple years ago. Divide is a decent rifle shot from the Big Hole River, which, despite great expectations of a massive salmon fly hatch, fished very poorly the past two days.

Soprano,
Late and from below. Gotta go!
It was Mussolini's definition.
Soprano, sempre libera
Mussolini defined fascism as being a collectivistic ideology in opposition to socialism, classical liberalism, democracy and individualism. He wrote in The Doctrine of Fascism:
Anti-individualistic, the fascist conception of life stresses the importance of the State and accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with those of the State, which stands for the conscience and the universal will of man as a historic entity.... The fascist conception of the State is all-embracing; outside of it no human or spiritual values can exist, much less have value.... Fascism is therefore opposed to that form of democracy which equates a nation to the majority, lowering it to the level of the largest number.... We are free to believe that this is the century of authority, a century tending to the 'right', a Fascist century. If the nineteenth century was the century of the individual we are free to believe that this is the 'collective' century, and therefore the century of the State.[16]
Since Mussolini, there have been many conflicting definitions of the term fascism. Former Columbia University Professor Robert O. Paxton has written that...

Ah, Mike.
Hillary should do this. She shouldn't do that. LOL!
Enjoy your victory, possums.
She could be the public face of that effort.

Definitely, But, knowing the Clintons, she'll want something in return for that.
Or am I the only who thinks it's a coincidence that, after Charles Rangel worked to get Nita Loewy to step aside so that Hillary could run for the Senate, Bill decided to move his entire operation to Harlem, which just happens to be Rangel's district? Was Rangel Hillary's BFF simply because he likes her?
Please.
Both the Clintons operate strictly from the principle of WIIFM.
