No matter how bad this makes Rove feel, Leni Riefenstahl was certainly more talented and easily more attractive.

Reuters is reporting that Daily Variety had heard ABC was considering the deep-sixing of this obvious mess. The same Reuters story added that Harvey Keitel was pushing for the truth.

Is it fitting that David Stockman realized $800,000,000 from a stock sale of GrafTech International, Ltd?

It looks as if Rover Boy isn’t the only one in DC who can play rough. Call a priest, Karl! See if you can have someone exorcise the truth this time.

What Senator Specter calls “obstructionism” is what most Americans would call a concern for the Constitution.

Thursday, September 7th, 2006

Specter has really shown his true colors despite his Sunday morning tv tough-guy images. He’s simply another example of the lack of courage on the Republican side.

Are we as dumb as the regime thinks we are? Hopefully, not. But, most of the news media seems to believe we are. For this reason I shall feature one who doesn’t.

Since Keith Olbermann’s Countdown is one of the very few programs worth watching on the three cable news channels, I wouldn’t want you to have missed these statements about W’s September 5th chat and Donnie’s August 30th ‘confusion’ speech.

Olbermann, September 5:
Make no mistake here - the intent of that is to get us to confuse […]

In THE ARCHITECT: KARL ROVE AND THE MASTER PLAN FOR ABSOLUTE POWER, authors James Moore and Wayne Slater attributed the above quote to Jack Abramoff when asked why Rove met him outside the White House.
‘…says Abramoff explained that Rove arranged the sidewalk pow-wow to avoid entering a visit or phone calls in White House logs, […]

Believe it or not, the administration is using the British theory that ‘The King Can Do No Wrong’ in order to wipe out protection for EPA whistleblowers.

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

Forget 1776 and 1789. The Junior King who can do nothing right has declared he can do no wrong!

Did the network news report this? I hope someone did because it aptly demonstrates John Dean’s CONSERVATIVES WITHOUT CONSCIENCE thesis on the authoritariasn aspects of the Bush administration.

Here is another example of W’s leadership qualities…

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

After a second postponed meeting, he’ll meet with the ‘Big’ Three automakers after the election. Ummm? I wonder how much scratch auto execs dumped on W’s campaigns. Are they getting a return on investment?

Karl Rove and friends dumped millions on Lieberman’s primary?

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

I’m glad they lost that money while Lieberman becomes a little more disgusting each day and conrinues to revise the meaning of ‘turncoat.’

“Guns…Guns…Guns!!!” –Clarence Boddicker in Robocop

Several days ago I posted a photo of a West Bank boy who was wearing a mask and had a toy assault rifle in his hand. As for the weapon, paleontologists have found 6,000 year-old paintings of American boys’ fanning Roy Rogers’ toy six-guns on the walls of the Luray Caverns. Because my friends and […]

Why we are in Iraq…

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

PART I 
1.   Weapons of Mass Destruction.
2.   Overthrow Saddam. 
3.   Democracy. 
4.   9/11 Ties. 
5.   Terrorism in Region. 
6.   DOMINO THEORY.  Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!!!!!!!! 
That’s what Dick is saying now. Iran will be the main beneficiary in any loss of Iraq. 
PART II
What was one of the reasons Bush 41 was against going to Baghdad?
1. […]

What’s the toughest Palestinian job?

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

Minister of Tourism.The Holy Jihad Brigades announced they would kill non-muslims in Palestinian territory, but conversion to Islam, payment of a ranson or release of imprisoned Muslims in an exchange could gain a hostage’s freedom. It’s not exactly a free continental breakfast, but it beats the alternative.
This photograph accompanied the story, but may be mis-leading. […]

So, Mexican president Vincente Fox wants everyone to get on the same page of peace and brotherhood.

I seem to recall that W said the same thing to Democrats after the 2004 presidential election. In W lingo, ‘work with’ means “ride rough-shod over” while congressional committee chairmen did W’s bidding by either calling the cops on the Dems or assigning them basement rooms for hearings.The Democrats shopuld not have bent so easily […]

N’ah! The FBI would never think of entrapping anyone. The Tin Horn Torquemada doesn’t have the concept in his macho bag of tricks which tend toward the crudely inefficient.

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

I saw this Washington Post story headlined “FBI ROLE IN TERROR PROBE QUESTIONED.” The Huffington Post displayed this Associated Press photograph at their link to the story. Remember that telephoto lens tend to fore-shorten objects(makes items appear closer to each other than they are) in the photograph. Rest in Peace, Paul Krassner.

This is a tragic story, but a sub-continent travel agency has some ’splainin’ to do.

Saturday, September 2nd, 2006

The AP reports that Sunnis killed 14 Pakistani and Indian pilgrims who were touring Shi-ite holy sites…in Iraq!! These pilgrims weren’t on a ballpark tour in Iowa, they actually left home to travel in a brutal war zone. What kind of timing is this? It’s as if American Express had created a special, 7-day-6-night Katrina […]

My only surprise is that this idiotic power play lasted as long as it did.

Friday, September 1st, 2006

Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Republican Secretary of State in charge of the 2004 election and now a candidate to follow guilty Republican governor, Robert Taft, tried a blatant maneuver to keep African-Americans from registering to vote in the state where Bush won–thanks to the sleaze that has become the watchword of Ohio politics. It’s another marriage […]

Wonderful! It’s election season so that means the right wing garbage is about to hit the screens.

Friday, September 1st, 2006

ABC has a ‘docudrama’ ready for airing on September 10th. Guess who was responsible for 9/11? That’s right. It’s all Bill Clinton’s fault. The right wing wanted an innocuous Reagan movie boycotted and CBS caved in under the falling rockheads. Why don’t lefties ever threaten boycotts? Let’s tell the right that there is a scene […]
