I certainly get tired of scurrilous douchbags hiding their open, running fascism, lies, plunder and incompetence behind our nations greatest modern tragedy. Thieves and worse who have between them nothing but the same rickety one trick pony on which they stage their lumbering getaway from the scene of every atrocity.
Mr. President, why did you allow the illegal wiretapping of American citizens?
“On September 11th, 2001, I as your leader…”
Mr. President, how could you allow the outing of an active CIA agent?
“September 11th, 2001 changed everything…”
Mr. President, you promised a complete investigation of the intelligence failures that you claim led us into Iraq. It’s been three years now and we have investigated everything from steroids to video games, but not the greatest foreign policy disaster of the modern era.
“In this global war on terra…”
Mr. President. Hookers? Payola? War profiteering? Abramoff? DeLay? The Dukester? Ralph Fucking Reed? Come on now.
“On September 11th, 2001 I promised you…”
Downing Street? Anyone?
"SaddamSaddamSaddam."
Mr. President, now that the tape of Dick Cheney doing shooters of Polish vodka off the asses of al Quaeda transvestite prostitutes while tossing kittens through a box fan has surfaced…

But I am ever so much more tired of that catastrophically underclocked menagerie of superpatriot uber-rubes and Christopaths that will stand loyally by any tyrant as he takes a blue whale dump right into their skulls as long as he fakes a love of the right brand of Smiting God, and a loathing of the right minorities.
Apparently Senator Obama is just about sick of them too…
Obama mocks Bush's `subliminal messages' of Iraq victory
By DENNIS CONRAD

WASHINGTON -- Democratic Sen. Barack Obama ridiculed the Bush administration's defense of the Iraq war on Thursday, arguing that messages such as "Plan for Victory" can't hide the "2,400 flag-draped coffins that have arrived at the Dover Air Force Base."
In a speech to EMILY's List, the Illinois senator used biting criticism in assailing the president and his handling of the war. Obama spoke in support of former Army Maj. Tammy Duckworth, a helicopter pilot who lost both her legs in combat in Iraq and is trying to win an open House seat.
Obama mocked the "idea that somehow if you say the words `plan for victory' and `stay the course' over and over and over and over again, and you put these subliminal messages behind you that say `victory' and `victory' and `victory,' that somehow people are not going to notice the 2,400 flag-draped coffins that have arrived at the Dover Air Force Base."
The first-term lawmaker asked the audience: "People, have we flipped? It's time to say we notice it. It is time to say that we care, and we are not going to settle anymore."
A White House spokesman declined to comment, referring the matter to the Republican National Committee.
Tracey Schmitt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said in a written statement that Obama's remarks "are emblematic of a party that would rather promote pessimism and point fingers" than weigh in on "an issue as critical as the central front of the war on terror."
Obama, who first came to national attention when he delivered the keynote address at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2008 -- or perhaps a running mate.
"I don't know about you," he told his audience, referring to Bush's 2000 campaign comments on possible U.S. military involvement overseas, "but when George Bush said he did not believe in nation building, I did not know he was talking about this nation."
Obama cited reports that former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, critical of how the GOP was governing in Washington, suggested Democrats could reduce their campaign slogan to two words: "Had enough?"
…
Bwahahaha!
In case you lost your lexicon, Ms. Tracey Schmitt, your boy just got called a lying, ranting drool-bucket by the junior Senator from Illinois.
And as for the Duh-elian cultists who have made some kind of dumbdown contest out of seeing who can shriek their loyalty to the Dear Leader the loudest as he pig-roasts the Constitution right in front of them?
I think he might have been implying that they are -- Oh dear. How do I put this delicately? -- a culturally deadlossed mound of abused inbred carbon.
And Holy Shit! The only ammo you mopes have left in the armory is Ms. Tracey Schmitt waving a spindly finger and screeching that he's just a mean, ol' pessimist and pointer of fingers?
Ok, Ms. Tracey Schmitt, I will confess that I am, indeed, pointing a finger at you right this minute.
Still pointing, Ms. Tracey Schmitt.
Still pointing.
Still pointing.
Cramp!
Changed hands.
Still pointing…
But beyond that, I think we have to score a clean kill for Obama. Game, set, match, both ears and a tail, and he called your mama a whore.
But hey, WTF do I know. I’m just a Liberal.
Just another angry Liberal.
Chock full of pessimism and finger-pointing.
And just old enough to remember when those words meant “realistic” and “personal responsibility”.
Back in the days when Republicans were only too squeallingly eager to hold Presidents to the highest possible standards. Who peed and tumbled all over themselves like poodle puppies on speed to see who could stratospherically outdo who in demanding that Presidents be held to the highest possible standards.
When failed land deals, or a misplaced box of files, or making a hundred grand in the stock market were all that Congress needed to launch armadas of special investigations.
But now it’s Downing Street instead of Whitewater.
Now it’s billions looted instead of thousands in profit.
Now it’s millions of Americans being actively spied on every fucking day instead of a carton with a few dozen FBI files.
Now it’s 2,400 dead soldiers instead of one, live intern.
Now it’s treason and city-smashing incompetence instead of haircuts and fellatio.
Because now it’s a Republican in the White House instead of Democrat, and last the Party of God can wipe away the all of that phony clown make-up they were forced to wear in the Bad Old Clinton Days, and show us their true, fascist faces.
Slip out that uncomfortable “defending the Sacred Constitution against all infractions no matter how minor” girdle and let their boundless contempt for democracy and freedom finally flab out into the open.
Come out of the Bull Connor Memorial Closet, let their Confederate Freak Flag Fly!

DG,
We have to conclude that there are a lot, maybe most, of the Unholy Coalition that would far rather spend the rest of their lives with grubby fingers plugged firmly into their wax-encrusted ears (other orifices optional) than ever for even a moment concede to a single rational thought. These people are truly lost. They will go to their graves secure in their uber-dementia that the Cloud Being is going to come and rescue his bleating flock aaaaaaaaaaany hot second now........
Would the Cloud Being be any kin to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, blessed be His Noodly Appendages?
When you get the record for smacking the most Repugnicans out of the park, there will be an asterisk next to your name, because you, sir, are so on steroids..... not that that's a bad thing.
..'this whole SITUATON..it's HORRIBLE..."
"Well ME, _I kinda LIKE it when things get WEIRD y'know? I like it when all the CARDS are on the table."
"But the contry's DISINTEGRATING. What HAPPENED to America? What's happened to the American DREAM?"
"It came TRUE.
Your're LOOKIN at it.
Now, C'MON, let's REALLY
put these jokers through some changes"....
ahhh prophesy
eddie blake,
When the going gets weird...
roxtar,
Just veggie smoothies and the love of Sweet Baby Jesus.
disassembler,
Not a block usually; just every now and then every word that I put on paper looks to me like old gum and watery KFC gravy.
Kid Charlemagne,
Make his Name be praised, and his meatballs be Firm and Large.
chautauqua,
Yeah, they're a write-off. Nothing for them but to electorally fence them off and go after the middle and the non-voter con mucho gusto.
Geebus H Krist on a Chrispy Kebab!! Even MY ears are bleeding from all the smackdowns! Of Course, I'm laughin along with the choir. Thanks, again - fer sharing.
Was listening to NPRs Fresh Air interview with Salon journalist Michelle Goldberg about her new book on the rise of Kristian nationalizts - then the news, and I keep asking, can it get any worse? and then it does. groan.

derken,
I count a whole strawman string quartet in you comments. Did you tire yourself bringing them all here?
First, there is a lovely tool called "Blogger" which you can use to create your own, Dem-bashing blog and have at 'em.
Second, the nice people who pay my salaries get to direct my time. You do not fall into that catagory.
Third, anyone who goes into the electoral world expecting ANY kind of "salvation" or heroics thru the political process is an idiot. Politicians are the hired help. Things can get incrimentally better thru a laborious process of selecting the lesser of the available evils and pushing hard on them to do the right thing 51% of the time.
Fourth, these are the cards we have. Play them, or get out of the game, but quit pretending that the game itself is suddenly going to shift from poker to Old Maid, and that President Nader or the new Green Majority in the Senate is going to enact sweeping changes.
Fifth, I have throttled the likes of "Kapo" Joe Lieberman and Hairplug Joe Biden often enough, and will continue to do so as I see fit.
Sixth, the Dems can be weak and ineffectual. They'll pick your pocket and sometimes drop the ball. The Republicans will kill your kids without blinking. If you can't see the difference between the two, I pity you.
Last, if this were 1951 and the Dems were still dominated by racists, I'd be a Republican. Period. But it isn't 1951. The GOP -- as a matter of policy -- cultivates and embraces racists, homophobes, neoconfederates and christian hate groups. On that basis alone I will pick a Dem over a Republican every fucking day of the week.
Firstly, perhaps you're right.
Secondly, OK.
Third, Amen. Its about keeping the pitchfork close at hand.
Fourth, it seems to me you're the one who is pretending that Obama is genuinely opposed to the warmongering of Bush, when really he's just opposed to Bush.
Sixth, I do see the difference on the whole, but not in the oh so neatly, clean cut, us v. them, partisan way.
My point is that it might be better to demand and expect (or petition with rumblings) accountability now from all our representatives, than to place your hopes and prayers that maybe if the less repugnant party wins, it'll be just hunky-dorey.
When did any election ever improve anything?
Lastly, the GOP certainly "cultivates and embraces racists, homophobes, neoconfederates and christian hate groups", its what empowers them. Ain't democracy grand?
But thats no reason to hold the dems to lower standards. The Anybody But Bush thing still haunts the dems.
I enjoyed your blog. Here's a great place you might like self improvement.
