The follow through by the MCM on McCain's history of infidelity and fucking around will be to dismiss it as "old news" or otherwise ignore it to the best they can.

McCain's infidelities are understable, given his history of captivity and service as a FVPOW.

Krugman strikes a very Atrios-like tone today, good column.
Repeated from below. Just two words for John Edwards:
Gary Hart.
He shows up often on the cable news outlets, and is treated quite respectfully. In 2006 he accepted an endowed professor position at the University of Colorado. Proof that there is life after conducting a really stupid extramarital affair. And if you don't believe that, just ask John McCain himself, although in his case the $100M fortune of his mistress and future wife did help.
Edwards made a clean breast of things, McStain. Isn't it about time that you did the same?
Tell the truth ans shame the devil.
I think I'm over commenting on Edwards, but can I share something?
Last night at yet another fair, I asked a woman if she was registered. Her response, after she looked sheepishly at her husband, "I'm not allowed."
AAAagh. It sort of saps the life out of you.

I really don't care about people's private lives. I think Edwards handled this thing really, really badly. One of the things I give our new governor credit for is that, as soon as he took office, he made a public announcement that he and his wife both had affairs while going through a difficult period in the marriage.
So should we go after Republicans for having affairs? Or focus instead on their hypocrisy on the issue?
McCain has fessed up -- that's why he's not talking about Edwards.

I just heard that Bernie Mac died. How fucking depressing. He was a real decent cat. And hilarious.
Somehow the Edwards affair is big news but when Guliani ran in the Repub primaries his bizarre public affairs were not news. How the story of his sleeping with his mistress in Gracie Mansion, the mayoral residence, while his wife & children slept in nearby rooms didn't come up is beyond me. McCain was having affairs, including Cindy, while still married to his first wife. Don't hold your breath on MSM reporting of this either. I think progressives are going to have to go public on these things, partly by going after the media for failing to report them, as a way to get them into the main stream media.
John McCain coould be caught fucking a 14 year-old girl while hacking off her head with a chainsaw and the press would give him a pass for it.
He's HERO you know. They can do anything they want because they love America.
Carter:
What makes me sick is that Carol McCain still "adores" her ex husband.
I mean, what the fuck?
Are there denominations, like Jehovah's Witnesses, that don't vote?
Brooklyn Girl, what you are overlooking is that for way too many Americans, marital infidelity is frankly worse than murder or theft. Particularly when it's done by someone who actually gives a rat's ass about murder or theft.
I don't care about a politician's private life, either, but there are a lot of prudish shitheads who cannot bear to tear their eyes from Janet Jackson's nipple as they fret about how it will corrupt the children.

Hi monica,
I fully agree with you. My preference is that there be no MSM coverage of candidates' private lives. But the game, which has been going on for a couple of decades now, is that sexual dalliances are hung like a noose around a Democrats & no media attention if its a Repub. So we have virtually no coverage if its Senator Vitter (Louisanna), Gov. Schwartzneigger, McCain, Mayor Guilianni but extensive coverage for Democrats. The result is the Democrat is brought down, ie. Clinton was impeached & continually treated like garbage by the MSM, Gov. Spitzer was forced to resign, Edwards is now going to be dragged through the mud for a while. We need to work for a uniform standard for Democrats & Repubs.
For those who want the details of infidelity by John McCain, I suggest the book Faith of My Fathers , by McCain and Mark Salter

I think it's more a question of the press double-standard, which has been far more generous to McCain on other stories: His flip-flops on torture (he actually bragged about his support of the MCA with regard to Hamdan, a bill he once melodramatically vowed to sacrifice his presidential campaign to blocking... nobody noticed), the whole "celebrity" campaign from Jon Stewart's most frequent guest... I could go on till I got scroll-trolled.

Echidne had a recent post on this subject:
Tacky Tactics
Are often suggested on the comments threads of political blogs. For instance, when the wingnuts attack Michelle Obama, the frequent recommendation I read on liberal blog threads is to counter the attack by going after Cindy McCain. It's as if the wives of the presidential candidates are part of their husbands' private property and therefore a fair target in the campaign battles. You know, like trying to destroy the artillery units of an opposing army. But spouses are not artillery units.

He's not even willing to defend his reputation or his family and he's going to keep America safe?

I'm not sure that's true. It resonates with the media, who want to sell their product; hence the 24/7 saturation.
But my own unofficial poll of people who do not think like I do, after the Clinton revelations, got an almost universal response: "why are we hearing about this? We don't want to hear about this!"
But no, the Obama camp wasn't saying that. Instead, the enticing headline drew readers into a New Republic article on McCain's opposition to abortion rights. Thus, his "woman problem."
A CNN/Opinion Research poll released Wednesday has Ralph Nader polling six percent nationally in the presidential race, with Bob Barr polling three percent. Barack to John McCain: 46% to 43%. NewsMax says “staffers working on behalf of Nader’s fifth run are convinced he could poll as high as 20 percent if allowed to take part in the debates.”

When McCain was at the naval academy he matriculated. In public.
Don't forget the group mastication.

Yes. You see, Obama is above the sort of sleazy innuendo and sensationalizing we have seen of late. He's running a clean campaign.
Hmmmmmm, maybe a little too clean?
John McCain was mad. Fuming mad. It was then the early days of his political career, and he had paid an unscheduled visit to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Mesa, which was within his Arizona congressional district. That's when Gloria Feldt, then the CEO of the group's local chapter, got a phone call. "Congressman McCain is here," a staffer told her, "and he is screaming and it is upsetting the patients."

I agree completely. This is my experience with this Edwards situation.
A CNN/Opinion Research poll released Wednesday has Ralph Nader polling six percent nationally in the presidential race, with Bob Barr polling three percent. Barack to John McCain: 46% to 43%.
The first number is a joke, which means the second two are total bullshit.

If there *is* followthrough, can we expect "atrios" to curse the reporters, to call them panty sniffers? To call them goat blowers? To decry their prurience? To say "it's all about sex"?

Republicans are so tiresome. They can dish it out, but they can't take it at all. Wusses.
An examination of court documents tells a different story. McCain did not sue his wife for divorce until Feb. 19, 1980, and he wrote in his court petition that he and his wife had "cohabited" until Jan. 7 of that year -- or for the first nine months of his relationship with Hensley.
Although McCain suggested in his autobiography that months passed between his divorce and remarriage, the divorce was granted April 2, 1980, and he wed Hensley in a private ceremony five weeks later. McCain obtained an Arizona marriage license on March 6, 1980, while still legally married to his first wife.

"Massive US Naval Armada Heads For Iran Submitted by Sheila Samples
The build up of naval forces in the Gulf will be one of the largest multi-national naval armadas since the First and Second Gulf Wars. The intent is to create a US/EU naval blockade (which is an Act of War under international law) around Iran (with supporting air and land elements) to prevent the shipment of benzene and certain other refined oil products headed to Iranian ports." http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite...nk.php?

"2 US aircraft carriers headed for Gulf
By GottaLaff
This report is from Thursday. Why have we not heard about this? Why did I ask that?
Two additional United States naval aircraft carriers are heading to the Gulf and the Red Sea, according to the Kuwaiti newspaper Kuwait Times.
Kuwait began finalizing its "emergency war plan" on being told the vessels were bound for the region.
The US Navy would neither confirm nor deny that carriers were en route. US Fifth Fleet Combined Maritime Command located in Bahrain said it could not comment due to what a spokesman termed "force-protection policy.""

Iran can retaliate by blocking any oil leaving the Persian Gulf, stopping the world economy. This is such a bad idea.
any plumbers in da house? i tried to fix the leaky faucet, now it's worse.
i read how to do it online, and even watched a stupid video. of course, when i take mine apart it looks nothing like theirs. took the whole thing down to the hardware store got new parts, put 'em in and it's dripping faster than before.
and i have to go in the spider cave basement every time to turn off the water.
did i mention i'm crabby?
fokowi - I just read that they found some huge oil deposit in Stanley, ND.
From comment at link:
A naval blockade of a country with this many alternate shipping routes would be hillariously ineffective. If an armada of this size is heading toward the Persian Gulf, there is some other reason. Either we are going to war with Iran right away, or it is saber rattling.
Funny how chaos feeds upon itself.

That wouldn't make the europeans too happy. They went out on a limb to censure Iran at our behest. Iran could piss off a lot of people at once if they mess with the oil supply.

Why do I doubt I'll see even the medals ceremony on NBC tonight? (Other than I won't be watching because I despise American Olympics coverage.

I left the room before I could damage the TeeVee.)
Indoor plumbing turned out to be a lot harder than I thought it was going to be too. matching threads and metal types, using the right kind of tape on the threads, getting the right size fixture, all not as straightforward as i assumed it was going to be.

Finding and burning a whole bunch more oil will not help the climate.
August 9th, 2008
The U.S. Geological Survey just published its official results of a groundbreaking study.
Its report confirmed a massive oil reserve in an area the locals have nicknamed the "Bakken," which stretches across North Dakota, Montana and southeastern Saskatchewan.
The new USGS study estimates a whopping 3.65 billion barrels of oil in the Bakken... but here's what they didn't mention:
The reported 3.65 billion barrels of oil mean estimate is for 'undiscovered' oil only, and doesn't include known oil, such as reserves.
In fact, the study reports a 25-fold increase in the amount of oil that can be recovered... compared to the agency's estimate back in 1995.
Discovered over 50 years ago, the Bakken deposit--once impossible to extract--is now being hailed as the single largest oil find in US history.

Cindy Sheehan Makes It On Ballot To Challenge Nancy Pelosi!!
by Linda Milazzo www.opednews.com
After weeks of collecting signatures from constituents in San Francisco's 8th Congressional District, Independent candidate Cindy Sheehan has made it onto the November ballot to oppose Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, for Pelosi's heretofore secure Congressional seat. As Sheehan told me exclusively this afternoon:
"I think this is the happiest that I have been since before Casey was killed (except when my grandson was born). Getting on the ballot as an independent in California is so difficult, but with the help of many of our friends who are committed to peace, accountability, economic equality and environmental sustainability, we have done it! The voice of the people will be on the ballot in San Francisco in November.""

well, if by washer you mean a little flat circle, no. there was a whole plastic unit thing and the seat & spring. i all of that on the cold side and it was worse. so i left the new seat & spring in but put the old plastic thingy in, and again it's worse than before i started.
i bought new parts for the hot side, but didn't change it yet ('cause the drips were definitely cold, so i figured the leak was the cold side...)
but if i can't do it, i can just leave the water to the house turned off for two weeks, right?

Okay, I'm gonna get flamed, but I'm a little uncomfortable attacking McStain through the little lady.
I don't think it's fair to attack Cindy directly and I don't blame her for breaking up the marriage or anything, she was just a kid when he started chasing her. But I think his infidelity and his horrible betrayal of Carol is fair game.
Today I was reading about the coverage of Thomas Frank's book the Wrecking Crew and a few people over at Salon made the comment that they head the interview of him on NPR and how the interviewer bent over backwards to excuse the neocons their behavior.
I heard him give an interview with Dave Davies(sp) on Fresh Air and heard some of the same stuff. It's like Krugman in the early days. The status quo media just keeps giving these people the benefit of the doubt over and over and over.
The most brilliant insightful thing I heard from Franks interview was that one reason that the conservative activism took off is that people figured out how they could make money from the conservative suckers.
That rang a bell in me so hard I practically knocked over the oranges in the grocery store.
It's so obvious and the media don't even see it because they are swimming in it. Think tanks, "experts" op-ed pieces, astroturf campaigns it's all around them and it seems normal. The Government even indulges with the generals and its all "oh well."
If I'm not mistaken, that is part of a Delta (i.e. washerless) faucet.
And then had to haul the old crap off. I am beat.

Didn't I hear yesterday that as the recession speads around the world the U.S.$ is becoming stronger?
Perhaps, sounds like a bad idea that Cheney would pursue. There's also the question of destabilizing the oil coming out of Russia.
But like everything Bush and Cheney do, this will backfire and what they'll really do is plunge the world into another global depression like in the 1930s.
In an age where the country is so shit squirtlingly scared of terrorists that you have to undergo a fucking cavity search to board an airplane, the crowd that brought you this neo-fascist police state wants to build off-shore and nuclear powered targets for these self-same terrorists to take pot shots at. Because solar and wind is too faggy.

oh my - A campaign has been launched in Greece by tourism officials against bars serving "bombes", cocktails of spirits that are being blamed for increasingly bad behaviour in holiday resorts.
The campaign, which will see police officers and scientists conducting random checks of nightclubs and bars, comes amid mounting evidence that unsuspecting holidaymakers are being sold drinks laced with lethal doses of industrial spirit.
Adulterated alcohol is believed to be behind the death of a British teenager who collapsed after a binge-drinking session outside a nightclub in the resort of Laganas on the island of Zakynthos last month.
"In certain areas, like Malia on Crete, bombes are a real problem," said Sophia Nova, a tourism ministry official. "We may talk a lot about the attitude of tourists and their excessive drinking but often it's the alcohol that's at fault. If we don't solve this problem and get rid of bombes, Greece's image will be tainted."
Mixing alcohol with industrial spirit to make beverages go further is an old ruse long employed by some unscrupulous bar-owners in Greece.
In recent years, however, the bombe appears to have grown in popularity with proprietors eager to attract customers with cheap drinks. Doctors have likened the cocktails to "a small bomb that goes off in the brain".

Okay, I'm gonna get flamed, but I'm a little uncomfortable attacking McStain through the little lady.
She's giving him her corporate jet for the campaign, it's fair game. But we could focus on Vicki Iseman and the affair McCain has/had while married to Cindy.
Ina, It appears to be a cartridge type rather than one that uses washers. A new cart.should have stoped the leak. Are you sure that you instaled it properly? Sometimes there is a front and back. to the cart. Also, don't you have a shut-off below the faucet that uou can turn off rather than the whole house shut-off?
could the new seat be damaged? or could i have fucked up putting it in right? you just kinda stick in there, right?
maybe Bush needs to be served a Bombe
Oh man, if "industrial spirit" is Euro-speak for "methanol" that is very bad news.
Can cause permanent blindness.
McCain's campaign plane is a 737.
Ina, how low on the faucet does the leak start? Is it leaking from the bit where the faucet meets the base?

cretinoisnts are so dumb - Miners in Romania have unearthed the skeleton of a 2.5m-year-old mastodon, believed to be one of the best preserved in Europe, a local official said yesterday.
They stumbled on the find during excavations in June at a coal mine in the village of Racosul de Sus, about 100 miles north-west of Bucharest, according to Laszlo Demeter, a local historian.
"This is one of the most spectacular finds in Europe," said palaeontologist Vlad Codrea, who examined the skeleton. "For Romania it is unique."
Codrea, of Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj, said 90% of its bones were intact, with damage to the skull and tusks. He also said that he hoped the find would help palaeontologists form a better image of the animals and vegetation present in the area 2.5m years ago.
"It is sensational. To discover a near complete skeleton is unique in Romania and a rarity in the world," said Marton Wentzel, a researcher of vertebrates at the Three Rivers Land museum in Oradea, western Romania. The mastodon is a mammoth-like animal which became extinct in Europe 2-3m years ago.

Yes, both possible. Or you got the wrong one still. I was partly guessing based on the image filename having "delta" in it, but that company always bragged in their ads about their washerlessness-ness. I would try looking around on the Delta website for a special exploded diagram of their fancy pants faucet assembly.

I'll try again. Today, A Federal Agency says that over 3.5 billion barrels of oil exist in North Dakota, Montana and Southeastern Saskatchewan -- just when we need it to show up. How convieeeeeeennent!
is this the thing you're calling 'the washer'?
Not what I think is a washer. I don't know what that picture is of. I thought a washer is a little disk with a hole in it, like a flat donut. Shouldn't there be one somewhere in the whole chain of parts?
Cindy plane still flying. It's being used by McCain's campaign, even if he's since moved up.
(Yes, article is a bit dated, but it was being used during his campaign so she's made herself part of his campaign.)

Justice? - A man who blasted Cher and U2 from his home has had his stereo equipment and music collection destroyed.
Karl Wiosna, of Graig, near Pontypridd was warned to turn down his music by Rhondda Cynon Taf Council after complaints were made.
He was served him with a noise abatement notice, which he later admitted breaching.
As a result, his two tape and record decks, his radio and his tapes and CDs were seized by the council.
All of Wiosna's equipment has now been destroyed and he was also fined £265 by local magistrates after he admitted the charges against him.

He suffered complications after undergoing open-heart surgery in Houston, Texas, said a spokesman for Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Mr Darwish was the most recognised Palestinian poet in the world, using his words to try to draw attention to the Palestinian cause.
He also delivered harsh criticism of the infighting by Palestinian factions.

FBI apologizes for improperly accessing reporters’ phone records.
The FBI yesterday revealed that in 2004, it improperly obtained the phone records of reporters for the New York Times and the Washington Post. Requiring such records requires the approval of the deputy attorney general, a procedure not followed in these cases. According to the New York Times, the “records were apparently sought as part of a terrorism investigation, but the F.B.I. did not explain what was being investigated or why the reporters’ phone records were considered relevant.”
Seeing that those papers have been protecting Bush for 7 years, I hope they thought it was worth it.

I have to say that the whole Edwards deal has really made me depressed. For all the usual reasons, but also, as I suggested yesterday, the way that this will be played and we can't use it somehow to kick the rw media's ass.
I wish that this was all a big sting operation put on by the Edwards on the media. "He will turn around and say, "We made the whole thing up. It was Elisabeth's idea. Here is what we did, here is where we started it and here is what the media did. See how terrible they are America? This is why we have to take the media back. Now we will sue them into non-existance and let the people have crack at it."

Reform of the 500-year-old oath that requires MPs to swear allegiance to the Queen when a new parliament is elected would help bring politicians closer to their constituents and modern realities, the MP campaigning for change said yesterday.
Norman Baker, the Liberal Democrat transport spokesman, has attracted 21 other signatures, all but one Labour and Lib Dem, to a Commons motion urging colleagues to consider an alternative oath "to their constituents and the nation" - and promising to uphold the law rather than the serving monarch.
Geoff Hoon, Labour's chief whip, has acknowledged "a substantial body of opinion in favour of change" at Westminster.
But Baker's proposal was attacked yesterday by the former Conservative cabinet minister Lord Tebbit, who called the gesture an attack on the state itself. The Tory MP Geoffrey Cox called it "uncomprehending constitutional vandalism".
Baker, a parliamentary iconoclast, countered that the recent debate on MPs' pay and expenses is only the latest example of the Commons being out of touch with the public mood. "I am trying to strengthen the link between MPs and their constituents," he said.

back from vacation. So I check out a thread, after not reading the paper for a while. Russia and Georgia at war. John Edwards joins the ranks of the zipper-challenged. McCain hasn't gotten any more attractive. A troll is after Simels, and another denies the special theory of relativity.
Did enjoy Krugman calling a spade a fucking shovel, though:
Republicans, once hailed as the “party of ideas,” have become the party of stupid.
...know-nothingism — the insistence that there are simple, brute-force, instant-gratification answers to every problem, and that there’s something effeminate and weak about anyone who suggests otherwise — has become the core of Republican policy and political strategy. The party’s de facto slogan has become: “Real men don’t think things through.”
