Wes Clark!


Gravatarimpeach!


Gravatararrest cindy sheehan before she gets elected!


GravatarSo, that makes him how old, 112?


Gravatarimapple, imkiwi


Gravatarso atrios is suggesting using the peter principal to free up a senate seat?


Gravatarbut biden's plugs are are only on their 4th term.


Gravatarbiden for minister of hair peace


GravatarI'd love to see Kerry in the cabinet too. Not sure where.


GravatarMaybe Secretary of Defense Biden. Not Secretary of State though.

Bill Richardson, however, would be an excellent Secretary of State.

Just me humble opinion anyway.


GravatarThat's longer than I've been alive!


GravatarI think edwards gets that nod.


GravatarLike I said below, John Kerry wouldn't make a bad Secretary of State.

Teresa would be one hell of an asset.


GravatarBill Richardson, however, would be an excellent Secretary of State.

could be. same reason as i suggested wilson below - actual experience and accomplishment in the field.

but i guess to some people it's more important to move the pieces around.


GravatarAlready?

Poop.
.


Gravatarjust wondering if the peter principal is a cure for the stockholm syndrome?


GravatarIMPEACH BIDEN!

Or promote him beyond his level of competency.


GravatarOi.


GravatarHow about this lineup, assuming Edwards and Obama don't wind up on the ticket.

HUD Obama
HHS Edwards
AG Fitzgerald
Secretary of State Clark
Interior Bobby Kennedy Jr.
Commerce Bloomberg

Richardson somewhere.

not Biden. NO, not Biden. He puts his foot in his mouth waay too much. Maybe ambassador to some country that we don't like but don't care anything about. the Vatican, maybe.


GravatarBTW, here's my Nancygram for today.


Gravatararrest cindy sheehan before she gets elected!
notaboomer


Her run for public office is purely symbolic.

Even SHE knows she's not going to get elected. Not against Nancy Pelosi.


GravatarWell, Strom Thurmond was in the senate for more years, and the Washington, D. C. gerbil population flourished, some black women got knocked up. And he slobbered over me like a black bear breaking into a beehive. Brian Lamb used to say he wanted to put us on cspan just to show cable viewers that a racist could do black face.

GravatarMaking Biden Secretary of State will also free up a slot on the Sabbath Day morning gasbag talk shows.

GravatarJohn Edwards wouldn't be a bad choice for Attorney General.


GravatarSecretary of State Clark

SecDef.

i would lean to kerry for sec state. but not biden.

i think biden should open a b & b with lieberman.


GravatarI don't think he has the brains nor the temprement to be a good Secretary of State. But yeah, we need new blood in the Senate. More and better Dems.


GravatarHow about Howard Dean for Surgeon General?


GravatarPut him in charge of the President's Task Force Against Plagiarism.


GravatarHow about Howard Dean for Surgeon General?
Terry C - Wingnuts R WATBs | 07.28.07 - 4:54 pm | #
ooh, what a great idea.


GravatarIf Biden voted for the AUMF, he was not 5 steps ahead of this mess. Not even one step. He was behind this mess.

It is to his credit if he has managed to get out in front of this mess, but he has not been 5 steps ahead.

And that is just one issue.


GravatarHow about Howard Dean for Surgeon General?
Terry C - Wingnuts R WATBs


or better yet, president


GravatarRichardson somewhere.

Craptastic Secretary of Energy. I think he can go back to the West and talk about how great guns are.


GravatarOr the Special Rogaine Advisor to the President.


GravatarI don't think he has the brains nor the temprement to be a good Secretary of State. But yeah, we need new blood in the Senate. More and better Dems.

What if Wanker NTodd has to poop?


GravatarIf Biden's been in the Senate for 34 years, he came in with the Watergage class of '74.

In theory, this sounds fine, it's their choice.

But they have had 4 plus years of violence and civil war, and partition as result of fear and violence and the resulting massive population transfer doesn't have a good track record.

They're fucked for the future, whatever happens.

GravatarWell, A, what are we gonna do with Ted Kennedy? I'm 63, and I was too young to vote for him the first time he ran for the Senate, 1962. But I think he should be left right were he is so when he have 67 Dem senators we can finally put thru Ted's entire agenda, including same sex marriage which he's been in favor of since the 60's! Here's his most famous line:"Medicare for all, cradle to grave!" Nice little talking point, huh? He would probably resign with nothing left to do.

GravatarNo, Nader does not get rewarded with a job like that. Plus, he's old and a sell-out. The next AG is going to have to be a workaholic to clean the Augean Stables.

I don't think that is quite right. He may be fucking insane and steering his own path. A sell-out is someone like Lieberman (to Israel) or Giuliani (to fear and fascism).

Ted is no saint, but I can find no fault with his political career.

The only way he's leaving the Senate is feet first.


GravatarI would not want Nader in my Govt.

I would not trust him to be passing secrets to the Repigs.


Gravatarlook peeps

Biden's reign was as predictable in our small state as Roth.

I am not wxcusing him and in fact - shoudl he go to cabinet god help us if some of the power muck that we suffer here in DE would jump to power.

I have been a part of a bit of revolution with some of the local radio that have offered alternative media to the otherwise non-alient hordes. Biden with all of his faults is not half as insideous as CARPER whom you all do not even fucking know.


GravatarOk Ok. Patrick Fitzgerald as AG.


GravatarBiden said at the time that Saddam was not someone to leave alone but he never backed the pre-emptive shit and he always insisted that dear leader make explicit the treasure and life that this "venture" entailed.

Did he vote for the AUMF? That is all there is. His words mean nothing if he voted for it.

Let's go for the latter.


GravatarThe next AG is going to have to be a workaholic to clean the Augean Stables.

actually, that would be nader in a nutshell. which is where some say he is.


GravatarA sell-out is someone

When you take Republican $$$$ to run against Dems, you're a sell out. He's more interested in Ralph Nader than anyone else. There are plenty of good people who haven't screwed us over the way Nader did. Even on election day itself, he could still have told his people in Florida to vote for Gore. He didnt do it. No Democrat is going to appoint him to an important position.

Well said. Remember, the Senate since 1994 could have had from Massachusetts:

a) Ted Kennedy
b) Mitt Romney


ahem ...


GravatarWhose administration are we talking about? If it's Hillary, you might as well keep Condi.


GravatarBiden was elected in 1972, not 1974 (Nixon landslide year), defeating J. Caleb Boggs, longtime Delaware GOP Senator if I recall correctly. He was in his early 30s. He almost gave up the seat before being sworn in - tragically his wife and IIRC one child was killed in a car crash shortly after the election.

If he gave up the seat, ex-Governor and now Rep Castle, a moderate Republican, could be a strong candidate to win the race statewide. He should stay in the Senate.


GravatarI'd like to see Kucinich in a cabinet post, but where?


Gravatarspinoza,

Fitzgerald.


Gravatari don't think ted kennedy would consider leaving the senate. i'm sure he could have gotten a post from clinton if that's what he had wanted.

really, he should have harry reid's job.


GravatarI would not trust him to be passing secrets to the Repigs.

Sorry.

While Nader is no friend to the left because of his run, he's no more a friend to the right except for being a distraction.

Either way, he doesn't merit a job in government. That much I'll agree on.


GravatarDoes anyone here take ActoPlus Met for diabetes? My doc put me on it last week when I found out I have diabetes, and I have felt pretty much like shit since then (weak and lightheaded). I also don't like the news I'm reading about the Actos portion of the medication (may cause heart failure in people who don'thave a previous history of same), either. I have a call into the doc to get changed over to plain old metformin. I'm wondering if anyone else here has experience with this stuff.

"You say hurtful things, Keem-O-Sabe!"


GravatarNader lost me when he argued that it doesn't matter which of the two parties are in power and that in fact having the Republicans in power is better because people will wake up to the beauty of Ralph Nader sooner that way.

Given that people have died for the difference that exists between the two main parties, sluggish inane creatures as they both are, what Nader said was unforgivable for me.

GravatarI do think one additional (not the most important, to be sure, but nontrivial) advantage of having a Democratic presidency is that some people like Joe Biden are put into the Cabinet, freeing their Lifetime Senate Seat up for some new blood.

It's a valid point...although it's possibly the least exciting "advantage" I've ever come across.

But I guess you drag the country back towards sanity with the deluded, garrulous, pseudo-liberal douchebags you have, not the ones you'd like to have.

GravatarSecretary of the Navy - Gavin MacLoed.


GravatarMara Liasson just pulled a Nedra Pickler on NPR--saying Clinton had said it was naive of Obama to say he would meet with leaders of 5 countries on the outs with the US in his first year as president. Clinton, you may recall, had used his answer as an opportunity to say, essentially, hey, young'un, you do lower level diplomatic preps first, dude.

Well, Mara went on to say ""But Clinton herself had criticized the Bush administration for not interacting diplomatically with several key countries and that she would remedy that as prez." Or words to that effect.

No fricken' mention that Clinton was criticizing BushBoy for having almost zero diplomatic activity with any nation which didn't juat go along with his plans. Sheesh.

But it was comparing apples to oranges used the favored MCM* mode of saying a Dem says X, but at some time said Y. No real comparison, but the construction makes it look as if the Dem involved is flip-flopping. And we all know how they luvvvvv that kind of attack.

She went on to talk about Obama's arguments, the back and forth.

These MCMers do love them some friction between Dems.

Amazing that she had no links whatsoever for anything she quoted from blogs--which would be, one would think, a no brainer. Now, maybe she didn't do the linking, but then the WaPo sucks big time as well.

However, if a Princeton professor is quoting things, why no sourcing? I mean, she has a mean and nasty about Hillary--but maybe she made it up, since she has no citation. If that's how she writes scholarly papers, woe is unto Princeton. Sheesh. What a lousy role model.

Gravatar541 days of Bush left. I'm not sure we can survive it.
echidne


We can. Bush is a loser and a wastrel who has failed at everything including, now, the presidency. He'll begin a drunk that will last to the rest of his life on January 20, 2009 at about 2 PM. Bush will become a bigger punchline than he already is and we'll go on, repair the damage, and move forward.


GravatarAna Marie Cox should go back to posting about her previous night's assfucking.

And the banal sex lives of personality-free Congressional staffers.


GravatarI'm sorry to say that my cabinet lineup included mostly, though not all, white guys. Need more diversity. NSA? Don't know. Someone smart, someone not glued to whoever the president is while not running his/her own foreign policy.

Of coure, we need Al Gore, though I don't know how he could work as a secretary unders someone else. I'd love him as president but I don't think he's going to run. Every time he pops up, NYT and others smack him down.

And DHS? Someone who believes in security but above all, freedom and civil rights. I am sick to death of the bullshit the authoritarianism passing as security. Even one of my faves, Will Bunch, the other day said it was okay to have spent 3 hours detaining the little old lady whose icepacks looked like bombs. Jesus Christ. Get a clue.

Can't. However, I depend very little on M$ OS - Mostly I just need a platform to connect to the net. In between Mozilla and WSFTP and an assortment of marginally handmade authoring programmes, I try to avoid the OS as much as possible.

Exactly. We survived the Civil War; we'll survive Bush.


GravatarMy insane Lab has struck again. She ate an entire chocolate cake Thursday by climbing on a countertop and reaching on top of the refrigerator, I kid you not. Chocolate is supposed to be horrible for dogs but this one seems impervious to EVERYTHING. She really does get enough to eat. It's just that anything she can smell, she will try to eat.

GravatarEvening, patriotz.

Am I the only one outraged by the fact that Chimpy wants to sell $20 billion worth of arms to his pals in Saudi Arabia?


GravatarYou haven't thought very deeply about how the defense industry works, i think.

the way the defense industry works: demonstrate that your shit doesn't work, then hold the customer hostage until they revise the spec to something you can meet.


GravatarBoy that Joe Klein, he just can't shut up, no?

It is rather stunning he would criticize Greenwald for basing a column on "a twig" when he and his ilk base their entire ideologies and careers on stage-whispered asides from the DC cocktail circuit.


GravatarJoke Line bases his career on cocktail weenies. Period.


GravatarYou haven't thought very deeply about how the defense industry works, i think.

That's not a different system.


Perhaps not; but, if there's anywhere where the cost-to-crap ratio is higher than Microsoft, it would be the US defense industry.

GravatarMy insane Lab has struck again.

Yes, that's how Labs are. Eating machines and mud machines and licking machines. Be thankful.


GravatarI think I either got a little heat exhaustion or maybe dehydration. It's not all that hot here, but it's humid as hell. Anyway, I was out walking around (in a hurry) for about half an hour. Then I was in and out of a couple of places with air conditioning and then walking for a while longer. Suddenly, I felt completely exhausted, like I couldn't walk another step, and very, very sleepy. I came home, cranked the A/C and have been sitting here sipping water and only now am I starting to revive.

I should add in the interest of full disclosure that I had a gin and tonic in there someplace, which was probably not the brightest idea.


GravatarJoke Line has a "kick me" sign on his back.

Unfortunately, he puts it there every time he writes another post.

I saw a silver lab the other day. A puppy. Had never seen one and it was gorgeous.


Gravatarres - yes, we call that heat prostration. Drink water. Eat a little something. Stick your head in your new icebox. You'll be fine.

Don't do it again.


Gravatarres ipsa, make sure to keep on drinking more than you think you need. Heat exhaustion is not to be trifled with.

It's like wading in water here, too. I type in bikinis.

It sounds like heat exhaustion, but combined with Bush exhausion, that can be quite serious. Drink lots of water and don't look at any pictures of the Chimp over the next 24 hours.

GravatarI think I either got a little heat exhaustion

If there's one thing you learn out here it's to stay hydrated. Everyone - and I mean everyone - carries around bottles of water and other impotent potables. When I lived in NY I was mocked for bringing a water bottle to meetings.

I'm sure I've mentioned the lab previously under my other name, but in her less than 2 years of life, she has, among other things, eaten two bicyle seats, multiple cords, boots, etc., the cable on the side of the house, twice, and, the topper, the fuel sensor under the car, which cost me $500 to repair. She's just finally beginning to calm down. I continue to be amazed by her immunity to chocolate, though. She's a great, great dog, though, wouldn't trade her for the world. The cable guy disagrees but fuck him.

Dear Friends:

Here is a rather explosive bit of reporting on the part of the BBC about an event in the past that sheds new light on why fascism runs in Bush's veins.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hist.../ document.shtml

Prescott Bush and other right wing tycoons plotted to overthrow FDR in 1933 in order to join with Hitler and Mussolini in (corporate) fascism. They thought they could succeed because they controlled the media. Fortunately, General Butler remained loyal to democracy. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
