Talking to Fox News, the conservative broadcaster, on his visit to Baghdad on Thursday, Dick Cheney said: “We didn’t get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican party. Our mission is to do everything we can to prevail?...?against one of the most evil opponents we’ve ever faced.”
Namely, anyone who doesn't support the republican party.
“The assumption has always been that Mr Bush was planning to bequeath the Iraq war to his successor and that the Republicans in Congress would go along with him,” says Charlie Cook, a leading political analyst. “But that looks increasingly difficult by the day. We could be facing a Nixon in 1975 situation where senior Republicans ultimately prevail on George Bush to change course.”

... In the next 10 days Mr Bush will have another opportunity to demonstrate his immunity to the US public’s backlash against the Iraq war, when Congress sends him its second version of the Iraq and Afghanistan war funding bill he vetoed in its first incarnation last month. ...
... Meanwhile, Mr Bush is searching for someone credible to fill the new post of Iraq war “tsar” in the White House. Up to six US generals have reportedly rebuffed the White House’s overtures.
“You’d have to be very patriotic to take on a job like that at a time like this,” says Mr Cook.
Patriotic? That's not the first word that came to my mind, Charlie Cook.

Wow, this is pretty amazing. I've been thinking that Bush and Cheney were going to be Goldwatered before the ends of their terms, but it's exciting to see someone as well-known as Charlie Cook talking about this possibility.

I will post this without comment (not because I have nothing to say, but possibly too much.)
Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Mary Cheney was rumored to have gotten a seven-figure advance for her memoir, "Now It's My Turn."
Now, it seems, it's Amazon's turn.
Mary Cheney's "My Turn" has turned up used on Amazon.com for just seven cents. The book was published in May of last year.
We could be facing a Nixon in 1975 situation where senior Republicans ultimately prevail on George Bush to change course.
I believe that Ford was the prez during the time cited.

The saga continues!
You heard Greg Sargent's story about the Iowa farm couple, Jerry and Deb VonSprecken, that Rudy Giuliani snubbed because they ended up not being as rich as his campaign thought.
Now there's more. Today John McCain personally put in a call to the Deb VonSprecken to "apologize on behalf of all politicians" for Rudy's atrocious behavior.
"For the record, in the 1974 election, before the full end of the war but certainly after the Democrats had become tainted by antiwarness the democrats picked up 49 seats in the House, increasing their majority to 291-144."
And... AND...? Aren't we forgetting something else from 1974 that might have helped the Democrats do so well? Like the Oakland A's threepeating, perhaps. Or the release of "The Towering Inferno."
The Democratics were destroyed by hippies attacking their own party. The effects were not immediate but eventually resulted with absolute power in the hands of the republicans, an unjust war that killed 700k and a stacked right wing supreme court.

It's not that he's always right, it's that he always uses good judgment and has journalistic integrity. He won't shill for anyone; supports what he produces with research and data that can be verified.

Former NFL rushing champion Ricky Williams tested positive again for marijuana last month, which will delay his return to the league until at least September, a person familiar with the case said Friday. Williams sought to end a one-year drug suspension last month when he asked to rejoin the Miami Dolphins.
Following the positive drug test, clinicians in the NFL's substance abuse program advised commissioner Roger Goodell to delay reinstatement, the person close to the case said.

Wow!!! This article M. Monica linked to is "m-o-o-n that spells devastating!"
She joined the department in the press office. Soon after, two lawyers said, Ms. Goodling complained that staff members in Puerto Rico had used rap music in a public service announcement intended to discourage gun crime.
“That is just outrageous,” she told one department lawyer. “How could they use government money for an ad that featured rap music? That kind of music glorifies violence.”

Here's my take on those 11 Republicans' real reasons for trying to talk sense to Bush over his war. The headline to which I'd linked pretty much said it all.

Oh, Goodling, you stupid, stupid, bitch, you are going DOWN!
She also insisted that she be given final approval in hiring assistant United States attorneys in offices where there was an interim chief prosecutor. Interim United States attorneys always had to seek permission for hiring, but the review was typically lower level and involved checking that sufficient slots were available, current and former employees said.
But Ms. Goodling’s reviews delayed hiring decisions for weeks or months, creating problems in busy offices, and her concerns at times appeared to be for partisan reasons.
In one case, Ms. Goodling told a federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia that she was not signing off on an applicant who had graduated from Howard University Law School, and then worked at the Environmental Protection Agency.
“He appeared, based on his résumé, to be a liberal Democrat,” Ms. Goodling told Jeffrey A. Taylor, the acting United States attorney in Washington, according to two of the department employees who asked not to be named. “That wasn’t what she was looking for.”

Re: The Financial Times, I'm disappointed but not surprised that they didn't do any research before publishing their article.
No one born before 1970 could forget that the Democrats enjoyed a supermajority in the House of Representatives for decades due to a fragile coalition of eastern and western progressives and ratwing nutjob southerners. The Democratic majority didn't dissolve until Ronald Raygun finally made it OK for Republicans to be racist. The southern Dems flocked to the Confederate battle flag Raygun hung up, and the rest was history (until now).

""To my great disappointment, Democratic leaders in Congress joined with the Bush administration yesterday to announce a trade 'deal' that sells out American workers. I am baffled as to why there is such eagerness to give this president - who is unwilling to enforce current labor and trade laws -- a victory by continuing to pass more NAFTA/CAFTA-like trade models that send good-paying jobs overseas. The deal, which is wrongly dubbed 'A New Trade Policy For America,' does nothing to protect American jobs or help create more jobs at home." http://

Sherrod Brown: "I Have Significant Concerns" About Secret Democratic-Bush Trade Deal
This press release just came out from the office of Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), one of the leading fair traders in Congress and the author of the book "The Myths of Free Trade":
"Yesterday’s announcement by Chairman Rangel, Chairman Levin, Chairman Baucus and Ambassador Schwab is the result of millions of voters speaking out in November against a fundamentally-flawed trade policy. It is the result of the largest ever bipartisan coalition formed against the NAFTA-model trade pact. It is the result of tireless efforts by fair trade advocates in the U.S. and across the globe fighting every day for a new direction in trade. The proposed changes recognize the inherent flaws in the current approach to trade and signal some willingness to address long- held concerns over labor and environmental standards. However, I have significant concerns about the enforceability of the changes. Given the administration’s failure to act against on known violations in Jordan and China, among other nations, those concerns are well founded" http://

The foot was on the other hand when he was the Guv. He HAD to work with the Democratic House and Senate. What's more, I do not recall a significant veto during his 1 1/2 terms, even though his vetoes could have been sustained easily. I suspect that his "cooperative" spirit projected exactly the image he wanted for his presidential campaign.

Democrats have a duty to stop trade agreements that do not benefit this nation.
Will they? It also seems like the the deciderer signed something the other day that said that he could make treaty somewhere without congressional objection.

I heard about that. Doesn't Congress still have to approve it?

I was born in 1971, but I sired a number of children in the mid-19th century, in Georgia, Maine, and territories abroad.

Nope. We have determined that with 18 months left in the campaign season, we are going to put aside all pessimism and work together to ensure Democratic victory in November 2008.

"Two years ago, Robin C. Ashton, a seasoned criminal prosecutor at the Department of Justice, learned from her boss that a promised promotion was no longer hers.
“You have a Monica problem,” Ms. Ashton was told, according to several Justice Department officials. Referring to Monica M. Goodling, a 31-year-old, relatively inexperienced lawyer who had only recently arrived in the office, the boss added, “She believes you’re a Democrat and doesn’t feel you can be trusted.” […]
Ms. Goodling would soon be quizzing applicants for civil service jobs at Justice Department headquarters with questions that several United States attorneys said were inappropriate, like who was their favorite president and Supreme Court justice. One department official said an applicant was even asked, “Have you ever cheated on your wife?”
Ms. Goodling also moved to block the hiring of prosecutors with résumés that suggested they might be Democrats, even though they were seeking posts that were supposed to be nonpartisan, two department officials said." http://thinkprogress.org/2007/05...isan-witchhunt/

I've met people of Ms. Goodling's ilk before. They see nothing wrong with freezing out potential government hires based on political ideology. "To the victors go the spoils" is their motto.

I'm irked that the House didn't start drawing up impeachment articles at least two weeks ago on Bush, Cheney, Rice and Gonzales. The latest shit points to so much being in the cornucrapia pipeline that there will be ironclad evidence of their criminality by the time the drawing up is completed.
A NEW 30 count indictment for Foggo & Wilkes, more on the horseshit Goodling was up to, unadulterated asshattery from Scholzman and Hertling, theshit is stupendous and endless.

I think it's worse than that. These people are zealots on a mission. And as of tonight I really don't know if I want to wait around for the ending. Other countries are starting to look good.

In '68 Nixon was the peace candidate with a secret plan to end the war. One of many problems was his secret plan entailed bombing neighboring countries...

Democrats did ok in '68 and '70 too. So, maybe Vietnam gave us Nixon. That's it.
No. The Democrats did great in '61 and JFK's assassination gave us LBJ, Nixon and Vietnam.

FT et al can't admit a simple truth that the Democrats were hurt by the passage of the Civil Rights Act and not Vietnam.
Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush (both of them) had racisim as one of their central planks. Nixon, to his credit, ran as a racist but was a supported civil rights.
Reagan made effort to conceal his racism.

I think he's trying to stay sober, plus he's actually washed his hair on one appearance I caught. He's trying to clean himself up to sell his new book.
Given the topic, Maher may welcome him with open arms and glowing praises.

Talking to Fox News, the conservative broadcaster, on his visit to Baghdad on Thursday, Dick Cheney said: “We didn’t get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican party.
say again: Tricky Dicky sez..."We didn’t get elected to worry just about the fate of the Republican party."
Oh so un-partisan of Dicky to write-off of the GOP like that.
dickey sez..."So some of you Repugs won't be re-elected but that's no sweat of my brow. Dickey doens't lose any sleep over it. The Loyal Bushies are being hung out to dry. Who would of thunk it.
This is certainly NOT an administration to die for, seeing as how there is no honor among loyal Bushies and all. There is only slash and burn policies, and every GOP man out for himself, some big tent huh? It like tent on fire, maybe all the Repugs should get out.
BUT hey, if little Bushie would burn the likes of Colin Powell, that perhaps that nasty little maggot would burn anybody. Ya think?

The entire conservative ascendancy since 1980 has been premised on the ludicrous and largely fictional mystique of Ronald Reagan. The DLC was born in this period as an overreaction to Reagan's two wins which were seen as a repudiation of the party the blame for which was then cast on the dirty hippies. Reagan had been known for being a dirty hippie-hater from way back so it was considered a plausible claim. But the Reagan mystique is a load of crap similar to Bush's rapidly fading mystique. It was largely a media creation.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, there was widespread disinformation about the alleged popularity of Reagan and the size and significance of his electoral victories.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, there was widespread adulation of the tough guy image of the poseur cowboy based on bullshit.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, there was widespread disinformation about the nature of threats to American security, including way off the mark estimates of Soviet military power and alleged development of new WMD ginned up and spread by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, and Bush's father.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, the Republican party operated as a cargo cult based on the prophetic revelations about supply-side economics delivered by St. Ron of Hollywood.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, the media abdicated its responsibility to truth check claims that its stenonographer-journalists passed on unchallenged, a political opportunity that the unscrupulous Republicans exploited to the max.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, there was an idiot president manipulated by his handlers into expanding the power of the presidency beyond the Constitution and selling a big lie campaign to cover it up.
Just as there has been in the Bush era, the Democratic party failed to perform its duty as an opposition party and allowed the Republicans to get away with it. Congressional investigations avoided the really tough questions and allowed themselves to be blatantly lied to.
