Barry Arrested on Cocaine Charges in Undercover FBI, Police Operation Sources Say Mayor Used Crack in Downtown D.C. Hotel Room
Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, Jan. 19, 1990; Page A01
D.C. Mayor Marion Barry was arrested on charges of possession of cocaine last night at the downtown Vista International Hotel after a fast-moving undercover investigation by the FBI and D.C. police that began several weeks ago, according to law enforcement officials and sources familiar with the arrest.

Marion Barry, Act XVII By Eugene Robinson
A year ago he reclaimed a seat on the city council — representing the city’s poorest, most downtrodden ward.
He has another little legal problem to resolve — he didn’t bother to file some income tax returns, and the IRS is not amused — but it’s not as if he had a lot of income to report anyway.

Actually, Vicente Fox refused to sign the bill in its’ present form and sent it back to the Mexican legislature for rewrite. It will be interesting to see what final form this bill takes.

I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh, but drug addiction is a horrible thing. It impacts the life of the addict and everybody who cares about them. It’s really not a topic appropriate for a cartoon because there’s nothing funny about it.

Hunter S. Thompson (Before he blew his own brains out with his wife on the phone, POS)
The godfather of gonzo says 9/11 caused a “nationwide nervous breakdown” — and let the Bush crowd loot the country and savage American democracy.
“Who vote for these dishonest s**?” he writes, referring to the people currently occupying the White House. “They are the racists and hate mongers among us — they are the Ku Klux Klan. I p** down the throats of these Nazis.”
While the country’s spinning out of control, Thompson says his own lifestyle has been a model of consistency. He still does whatever the hell he wants. In fact, his new book was to be a “definitive memoir of his life,” a long look back by the man who rode with the Hell’s Angels, who experienced the riots at the 1968 Democratic Convention, and who has smoked more cigarettes, driven more fast cars, fired more weapons and done more drugs than most living people, let alone most living authors.

This cartoon is a work of genius!
Most addicts are sad cases. But most are not like RushBlob, who has said anyone who died of drugs (Kurt Cobain, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix) deserved it. Most are not like RushBlob, who thinks hat no matter what, drug use not dictated by doctors is an abomination:
—Rush Limbaugh radio show (quoted in the L.A. Times, 8/20/95)
I want to let you read along with me a quote from Jerry Colangelo about substance abuse, and I think you’ll find that he’s very much right…”I know every expert in the world will disagree with me, but I don’t buy into the disease part of it. The first time you reach for a substance you are making a choice. Every time you go back, you are making a personal choice. I feel very strongly about that.”…
Unfair say the RushBlob disciples! That was before he unwittingly became hooked in Hillbilly Heroin because of awful back pain! But he continued to talk trash even after he was popping palletfuls of pills, sidestepping medical experts and pharmacies to score pills in parking lots via his maid.
—RushLimbaugh.com (8/18/03)
*In the audio link below, I go into detail about these non-thinking talking points that “you can’t tell people what to do with their bodies” and “you can’t legislate morality.” First of all, we tell people what they can do to their bodies all the time—no cocaine, no prostitution, no throwing yourself off a building. Second, laws are nothing but defining morality!
RushBob, by his own definition is immoral. He is weak, clueless… a junkie.
RushBlob did prove that justice can be bought in the US. I do hope he keeps paying… and paying… and paying… and paying…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. gag.

May 04, 2006 Colbert Wasn’t Funny By Richard Cohen, Washington Post
The commentary, though, is also what I do and it will make the point that Colbert was not just a failure as a comedian, but rude. Rude is not the same as brash. It is not the same as brassy. It is not the same as gutsy or thinking out of the box or something about envelopes — a cliche that escapes me at the moment and which is not worth returning to. Rudeness means taking advantage of the other person’s sense of decorum or tradition or civility not to strike back or, worse, rise with a huff and leave. The other night, that person was George W. Bush.
Why are you wasting my time with Colbert? I hear you ask. Because he is representative of what too often passes for political courage, not to mention wit, in this country. His defenders — and they are all over the Blogosphere — will tell you he spoke truth to power. This is a tired phrase, as we all know, but when it was fresh and meaningful it suggested repercussions, consequences — maybe even death in some countries. When you spoke truth to power you took the distinct chance that power would smite you, toss you into a dungeon or — if you’re at work — take away your office.
Ahahahahahahahaha, now that was funny.

May 04, 2006 Friends of Teddy Kennedy By Robert Novak
WASHINGTON — Rich, oceanfront residents of Cape Cod do not want their view of Nantucket Sound faintly obstructed by offshore protrusions of a proposed wind farm. So, they have hired high-priced lobbyists to kill Cape Wind, a project providing an environmentally sound source of energy. Their most important ally in this venture is a fellow wealthy Cape Cod landowner, Sen. Edward “Swimmer” Kennedy.
Opposition to America’s first offshore wind farm seems a peculiar posture for the liberal lion of the Senate. The self-indulgent squires of Cape Cod likewise seem a strange set of friends for Teddy “Swimmer” Kennedy.

It’s so much fun to watch the wingnuts fall all over themselves trying to make excuses for Limbaugh after following his lead in demonizing and ridiculing any and everyone with a drug problem. It’s a shame the tolerance they show for him will never materialize in similar sentiments for those who are not right wing jerks like themselves.

I blame Rush’s problems on the housekeeper. If only she’d been 10% a genuine American Domestic, like Hazel, she’d of pulled the plug on Mr. L’s addiction the very first time he sent her to a parking lot on a drug run. It’s just one more incident of a genuinely patriotic, conservative, American being led down the primrose path by a working class trollop, who most likely drove his caddie to the Piggly Wiggly on her days off to shop with her food stamps.

Let me get this straight. Limbaugh takes prescribed painkillers at a rate that is within the legal limit, painkillers prescribed by two doctors in the same practice working off the same file. He is taking the painkillers to help with back pain caused by surgery he had to correct an existing problem. He becomes addicted, admits his addiction and goes to rehab. The state attorney (democrat) uses all types of lies and force to illegally obtain private medical records and essentially has his entire case thrown out of court. So, Limbaugh pleads Not Guilty to the one charge that might stick and, provided he stays clean for 18 months, will have his record expunged. Now. Limbaugh is the bad guy and Bush is roundly criticized for “invasion of privacy” for using established methods for keeping this country safe, but the State Attorney in Florida escapes the wrath of Mikey’s poison pen. Gee, must have been that little word “democrat” and instructions from the DNC that prevented Mikey from making a relevant commentary on a subject that really impacts all of us.

Dusty,
Indeed Limbaugh is an entertainer, but he manages to have it both ways, be an entertainer and carry political influence, which ought to be manifestly obvious to anyone. And the problem is that entertainment and politics have merged in American political life, witness the election of “Arnold” in California. Consider the following:
Members of the Bush administration (and the former Reagan administration such as William Bennett) appear on Limbaugh’s program, not to entertain, but rather to influence public opinion.
When Vice President Cheney wanted to “refute” or “spin” would be the more appropriate wording, the claims by Richard Clarke that he and his team could have prevented the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks if the Bush administration had paid more attention to Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network, where did he make his first appearance? On PBS, CBS, MSNBC, or even the conservative Fox network? No, he went to Rush’s program straightaway. The entertainer was the mouthpiece for Cheney in his effort to discredit Clarke as “out of the loop.”
The Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas married the entertainer to his third wife (now divorced for the third time, maybe we need to invoke the three strikes and your out rule for Rush) at Thomas’s home. No political connection there?
The entertainer was given editorial space in that bastion of liberalism, The New York Times, on at least two occasions. Not even liberal entertainer Al Franken can make that claim.
The first time I saw this insufferable blowhard was on, of all places, the old MacNeil-Lehrer report (before it became the Newshour) where he deliberately “lost” control of himself in a tirade against two “liberal” academics over the “liberal bias” of the media, which was not even being discussed. Being wholly unfamiliar at that time with the entertainer, I told a friend of the episode, with Limbaugh’s uncivilized pseudo-outburst, unlike anything I have seen before or since on the PBS program, and he explained to me who he was. (This was roughly 14 years ago.)
When The New Republic magazine, approximately ten years ago, investigated the truth of some of the stories offered by Limbaugh his staff stood by them…initially. When the magazine showed the stories to be false, literally made up, they retreated into their posture of “he’s an entertainer, not a journalist and cannot be held accountable by normal journalistic standards.”
The problem is, that his audience, and the audience of Fox television cannot tell or doesn’t care whether he is an entertainer or not, whether he gets his claims right or not, whether he tells the truth or not. All that matters is that he tells them what they want to believe and that he is conservative.

Syd, Rush only “admitted” to his problem once someone else outed him, and a criminal investigation, the outcome of which he knew full well, began. That’s the same type of “admission” as Clinton’s to the Lewinsky affair or Bush’s to drunk driving when he drove into a hedge. It’s easy to admit things after you’re caught.

Suffer your own delusions. Limbaugh has nothing whatsoever to do with my politics or my participation in politics. I don’t listen to him. Many of my conservative friends don’t listen to him. I guess they can make up their own minds without a set agenda like you follow.

If you choose to not believe that Rush is a political figure, I really can’t waste my time trying to convince you of the obvious. I’m assuming you don’t think people like Heston and Michal Moore are not political figures either.
And what kind of help does Colbert need? Does he need even higher ratings? Maybe an invitation to speak at the White Hou… oh, wait.

Pequod, man of many words,
You are describing free speech as politics. It may be political but it does not necessarily make “free speakers” into politicians.
Elected and appointed government officials at all levels are what I call politicians.The dictionary backs me up saying that politicians are ones actively engaged in conducting the business of government.
Draw up your own definitions. But Limbaugh is an entertainer, not a politician.

The point is that there was never any evidence that he did anything illegal. He had a scipt and obtained all the pills legally. I’ve also read reports that show he never obtained more than 40 pills. Whether that is true, I don’t know. Neither do you. I don’t believe a thing I read in the papers. And there is a HUGE differance in someone becoming addicted to cocaine, heroin, etc than becoming addicted to pain pills b/c of a legitimate medical addiction. Trust me, I know!!!

On a personal note it’s mildly amusing to remember, with regards to Rush’s choice of attorney, what all of my conservative acquaintances were saying during the rape trail of William Kennedy Smith. It seemed there wasn’t a day that went by when one of them could refrain from telling me that Roy Black is the lawyer you hire if you’re guilty. I could have sworn they picked that up while listening to Rush. If that’s true the least one can say about Rush is that listens to his own legal advice.

Now that is silly. So are you are saying that when someone has a drug problem they have to admit it to the public? Frrankly, I don’t think that is our business. If he wanted to handle that privately, he has every right to do so (the drug problem…not the legal aspect). Your comparison to the Clinton/Lewinski is also silly. Clinton kept lying about it, even to a grand jury.

All that matters is that he tells them what they want to believe and that he is conservative.

Dusty, No, I am not “describing free speech as politics” and that has nothing to do with anything I said, so forget the straw man.
Lexical definitions are of little use in resolving political or moral issues. For example, one could not resolve a disagreement over whether a given country is a democracy or not merely by looking up the dictionary definition of “democracy.” The dictionary is on no one’s “side” here, it is irrelevant.
Furthermore, the definition of “politician” is irrelevant because I did not claim that Limbaugh was a politician, but that he carried “political influence” which is undeniable as the examples I gave attest. (And RW provided no evidence to the contrary, but only engaged in the same straw man tactics by inflating my claims into a “conspiracy.”)
Before you guys launch into someone, you might first make the effort to read and understand what is being said and that way you wouldn’t issue a collection of wholly irrelevant comments as if they constituted a response.

Excuses, excuses:
Two weeks ago, a story by Los Angeles celebrity journalist Nick Papps began, “It’s hard to believe that the drugged, dazed woman staring out from [an accompanying] picture was once one of the most popular singers in the world … But today that woman, Whitney Houston, 42, is just another crack head.”
[The dim assessment came in response to tabloids that on March 29 printed photos of what is supposedly Houston’s Atlanta bathroom, littered with crack pipes, cocaine-coated spoons, cigarette butts, Budweiser cans and garbage. The photos were taken, and sold to the magazines, by Houston’s sister-in-law, who provided an accompanying tale of the singer’s cracked-out habits, from hallucinating violent demons, to biting and hitting herself, putting her hand through walls, and locking herself away to smoke rock cocaine and pleasure herself with an apparently prodigious collection of vibrators. Speaking about the mess on Fox’s “The O’Reilly Factor,” Billboard executive editor Tamara Conniff said, “I think that she was a really well-manicured diva star and she just turned a little ghetto.”

Syd — again, Limbaugh only sought treatment after he got caught. Personally, I don’t care. But you guys’ defense of him as if he’s a saint and did everything legally and right is retarded. And if he did not “realize” he had a problem while doctor shopping and filling out bogus prescription, well, he must be even stupider than dittoheads then.
RW — your obsession with your made-up “inferiority complexes” of everyone who does not measure up to your self-perceived grandeur that is RW is a bit over the top. Yes, Republicans are better politically. No $hit. Everyone knows that. They have fewer scrupules, and they have figured out the right buttons to push to win elections with inferior ideas. That is a skill, one that I if not admire, then at least respect. And, yes, Democrats need to catch up in the area of political savvy. The only thing that is keeping the Democratic Party afloat right now is the fact that we live in a 2-party system, and it’s damn near impossible to screw up worse than the Republicans have, on just about every front. If Democrats had half the political savvy of Republicans, they’d be winning by landslides.
Dusty — I never said Rush was a “politician”. He is a political figure, a person whose importance derives not from his supposed entertainment, but from the fact that he influences political opinion in this country. Ditto for Heston and Moore. As such, they are fair game for political cartoonists. You do not have to be elected to be important. And as for Colbert, hey, he told the truth and he was funny. No wonder you don’t like him. Facts and sense of humor must really grate you like nails on a chalk board.

He was a good Catholic and sharp businessman who, when not running his construction company was active in the Jaycees and was also a Democratic Party precinct captain, when he had his photo taken with then First Lady, Rosalynn Carter. He also spent much of his free time hosting elaborate street parties for his friends and neighbors, serving in community groups and entertaining children as “Pogo the Clown”. He was a generous, hard working, friendly, devoted family man, everyone knew that — but that was the side of John Wayne Gacy that he allowed people to see.

Perhaps you think that Clinton’s legal ledger is balanced. Good for you. But quite a few wingnuts insist that he’s gotten away, quite literally, with murder.

And when the “dittoheads” (I’m not really sure what it means but it seems to be the word of the day) have nothing to combat the facts with, they will say you take yourself too seriously. Funny, but only in a sad way.
Lots of great stuff in the paper today. (Sadly the sports section is always lacking…) Maureen Dowd’s column was very good. I’ve seen her on the telly and read her columns several times in the past and she has always struck me as very bright, well spoken, reasonable and as an added bonus, is very easy on the eyes. In other words, the complete antithesis of Ann Coulter!
There was also a good article about Clarence Thomas. I’m not a fan of his (especially after reading that he married one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet), but it is a good read and an enlightening look into the mind of a jurist.
Bookman’s article on the spend-and-borrow Bushies is excellent and the following really rings true: Congressional leaders have become so conditioned to using public dollars to buy political support - and have been consistently rewarded for doing so - that they were shocked when the American public rejected the rebate idea as silly and foolish

Democratic Party Chair Howard Dean fired the party’s gay outreach adviser Donald Hitchcock on May 2 less than a week after Hitchcock’s domestic partner, Paul Yandura, a longtime party activist, accused Dean of failing to take adequate steps to defend gay rights.
Dean immediately hired gay former Democratic Party operative Brian Bond to replace Hitchcock as executive director of the party’s Gay Lesbian Leadership Council, according to DNC spokesperson Karen Finney, who called Bond a “proven leader.”
Finally, the democrats are getting their house in order.

Yes, RW, I’m well aware of what “inferiority complex” means. Spare me. I’m also well aware that it’s very possible to project any complex, including this one. Which is what I would guess you’re doing.
Dusty — if you knew what humor means, you’d spend a lot less time laughing at something that’s not funny (my posts) and a lot more at something that is (Steven Colbert). Good luck with that.
And li’l andy, for once you’re right. Republicans would do much better in November if they just all went to sleep now and not woke up until then. As I said before, the single biggest thing Democrats have going for them is the stunningly expansive corruption and ineptitude of the ruling Republican party. If they went to sleep now they may wind up doing less damage to themselves and this country.
Syd — I’m basing my opinions on the fact that Rush admitted to doing what he is accused of doing, and on the fact that he struck a plea deal, which is what you do when you’re guilty, but want to lessen the punishment. I don’t begrudge him this, I would do the same thing. What I begrudge is the dittoheads’ stubbornly idiotic insistence that the Holy Rush did nothing wrong and the whole liberal world is out to get him. These people seem to have an almost pathological aversion to admitting that someone on their side is less than perfect.

Actually:
John Wayne Gacy- When Chicago businessman John Wayne Gacy was exposed in December 1978 as a sadistic homosexual serial killer it came as a seismic shock to his neighbours, friends and business associates. It was also deeply embarrassing for the Democratic Party of President Jimmy Carter as Gacy was an enthusiastic supporter who had been photographed with the First Lady, Rosalyn Carter.
So you only share the same sexual orientation with Gacy, huh Andy. Thanks for the admission.

Thanks Huge,
The information about Limbaugh was all correct and all ignored by RE and Dusty who chose to attack me instead. (I use too many words by their lights or take myself too seriously, but the claims and their relevance remained unaddressed.)
The boundaries between political life and entertainment are blurred in the minds of many people and the crossover between the two domains demonstrates that. When “Arnold” announced his candidacy on the Jay Leno show and went on to be elected, I don’t think that people were clearly marking the distinction.
Limbaugh’s program in part serves as a conduit for information and spin from the current administration. Remember, as I pointed out, it was the vice president, an elected official, who phoned his program, was it not? And there are many more similiar instances.
It is most unfortunate that ignorant blowhards like Limbaugh and the entertainers of Hollywood have any influence on politics, whether they be “Arnold” or Shawn Pen, Martin Sheen, and so on. But American culture cultivates and adores its celebrities. That’s just the way it is.

Danish, our local “special” child: you can be hateful, and yet enjoy freedom of speech. In fact, that’s the way it works. The reason li’l andy is allowed to be a worthless piece of crap that he is, is because of the 1st Amendment. No one is trying to shut him up, no one is stopping him from exposing his ignorant and hate-filled little heart to the rest of us. And that’s the way it should be. Freedom of speech runs both ways. Sometimes it provides enough rope for someone to (metaphorically) hang him or herself. andy is merely reminding us all of that most precious of rights.

Andy’s retort suggesting that, in addition to his other “crimes”, Clinton also groped nurses after his operation is yet more evidence of a double standard among wingnuts.

finch,
I’d be more sympathetic to your indignant complaints that Clinton was mistreated by unproven allegations, were it not for the fact that:
120 witnesses fled the country of pled the Fifth; The Dems refused to immunize witnesses; A wall was erected between the CIA and FBI; Janet Reno behaved contemptously; Webster Hubbell was paid $700,000 to do nothing; and other endless tricks which made it impossible to get to the truth. And I haven’t even mentioned Monica, Gennifer, Catherine, Juanita et al and the Clinton trash, err I mean spin, machine.
To the best of my knowledge the only thing that Rush did was hire a lawyer, and advise us of the fact that the Palm Beach DA was a liberal Democrat who tried to go evidence shopping and inappropriately “leaked” confidential material to the eager press.
If you know of any fleeing witnesses, fifth amendment pleas, or personal dirt-digging into the DA’s private life, let me know.

Much has been made in this blog of John Wayne Gacey’s political affiliation, as Andy so kindly points out that he was a Democrat Precinct Leader. Two weeks after her divorce from Harry became final; Linda married Beverly (Bev) Russell, a well-to-do businessman who owned an appliance store in downtown Union. Bev had been previously married and had several daughters from his first marriage. Bev had once been a Democrat, but had switched to the Republican Party, becoming a South Carolina State Republican executive committeeman and a member of the advisory board of the Christian Coalition. Bev, as it turns out, was molesting his step-daughter Susan Smith on a regular basis and part of the defense of her actions when she murdered her children was the emotional suffering she endured as a result of that abuse. Well for all we know John Wayne Gacey could have followed in Beverly Russells footsteps and become a good God Fearing Republican, had he not been caught.

Officers Claim Brass Interfered in Investigation of Rep. Kennedy Incident… Police labor union officials asked acting Chief Christopher McGaffin this afternoon to allow a Capitol Police officer to complete his investigation into an early-morning car crash involving Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), son of Sen. Ted Kennedy.
According to a letter sent by Officer Greg Baird, acting chairman of the USCP FOP, the wreck took place at approximately 2:45 a.m. Thursday when Kennedy’s car, operating with its running lights turned off, narrowly missed colliding with a Capitol Police cruiser and smashed into a security barricade at First and C streets Southeast.
Interfering with a police investigation, hit and run, DUI (2:45 am is a little early but that’s cocktail hour for sure at the Kennedy Compound,) assault by a vehicle, criminal damage to property, improper operation of a motor vehicle.

It is not just alleged that Jamie Gorelick put up a wall between the FBI and CIA, it is documented.

It’s difficult if not impossible to prosecute a case when the witnesses can’t be found, agencies can’t talk to eachother, the Attorney General stonewalls an investigation.

I was gone for most of the day. Can you tell me the time of Ray’s post, or maybe you’d like to just cut and paste it so I can get up to speed.
If it has anything to do with Rumsfeld in Atlanta, I just saw him squish a former CIA employee like a bug (very politely of course).
Meanwhile, since you didn’t give me an answer as to whether I was permitted to comment on lobbying reform, I’m going to take it as an implicit, Yes.

Inspired by Getalife’s snarky remarks, I have a question for all you addiction experts. Finch? Getalife?
Can you tell me at what precise moment one becomes an addict? If one is not addicted on Monday, can one be addicted by Tuesday? I really would like to hear your expertise.
I’d also like to know if it’s possible to be addicted without being a junkie. For instance, if one were in a terrible car accident, in a coma for a long time, with a crushed pelvis, broken thigh, and other broken bones too numerous to mention, if one becomes dependent on pain killers, does that make you a junkie?

that the absolute best liars in the world, bar none, are junkies.

Yes it was the the question in Atlanta and Rumsfeld said ” I am not in the intelligence business”.
It was not a joke. I will ask you like I asked Andy. Is that statement true or false.
Then this lie:
Rumsfeld: …it appears that there were not weapons of mass destruction there.
Q: You said you knew where they were.
Rumsfeld: I did not. I said I knew where suspect sites were and –
Q: You said you knew where they were. Tikrit, Baghdad, northeast, south, west of there. Those are your words.
Rumsfeld: My words-my words were that-no-no, wait a minute—wait a minute. Let him stay one second. Just a second.

You’d think that the public’s growing dissatisfaction with President Bush and the Iraq War would translate into lots of listeners for Air America’s “progressive” talk, especially with the fawning free publicity the network and its top host, comedian Al Franken, have enjoyed from the mainstream press. But even hard-core liberals (who make up only about one-fifth of the American electorate, it’s important to remember) must find Air America’s incessant and often moronic Bush bashing monotonous and unentertaining—the kiss of death for talk radio.
Further, liberals already have NPR—and for that matter, the New York Times, network newscasts, CNN, and most of the mainstream media. Conservative and libertarian voices dominate the radio dial because they offer a much-needed response to the liberal media mainstream. The Right has done well on cable television and in the blogosphere for the same reason. Air America, created and kept afloat by a handful of wealthy liberal financiers, meets no such market demand.
Even as Air America’s hosts snicker about President Bush’s plummeting approval ratings, the network seems destined to disappear from the radio dial before the president leaves the White House.

If these are adult liberal bloggers, it is easy to see why Democrats don’t win elections.
Greg gave a description of Sal which fits so many liberals here. He said “a racist bigot masquerading as an elite superior gasbag”.
Then the poor little twerps who often refer to their personal male anatomy, wet pants.excrement, etc. etc.
Liberal Texas Democrat tries to involve the children of the Bush family and brings up a police ticket the president got 30 years ago.
Getalife doesn’t know that Rumsfeld is Secretary of Defense and not the CIA or FBI. He’s all excited because there were 4 protestors inside a meeting of 350 non-protestors. There were less than 2 dozen protestors outside. Getalife keeps asking about wmds when it has been answered over and over. He likes to infer that “others” here might be into Rush’s”stash”.

Put bluntly, malaria’s killing spree — believed to be somewhere in the realm of 50 million people since 1972 — is worse than AIDS. Of the 500 million annual victims, 90 percent live in Africa. In the sub-Saharan nation of Uganda alone, malaria is responsible for the deaths of 100,000 children under the age of 5 every year. In dollar amounts, the United Nations says malaria costs Africa about $12 billion annually, or about 40 percent of its health expenditures.
And the libs just look the other way:
No doubt, the environmentalists will ratchet up their nostalgia for Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring.” USAID’s program, however, should be just enough to silence them.

I guess by this definition, ditto-idiots DO NOT have a lick of common sense…I’d say amongst the whole lot of em

The Kennedys certainly didn’t waste any time in taking advantage of the “Limbaugh Defense”. Afterall, it’s a prescription by a Doctor so neither Limbaugh or Kennedy could be guilty of drug abuse, could they?
Republican inability to accept any sort of personal RESPONSIBILITY seems to be setting the new standard of conduct, all ready. The only sort of role-model the Republicans seem to be capable of is that of NEGATIVE role-modeling!

NEW YORK — No doubt there is something both petty and unseemly about saying, “I told you so.” After all, the people who were wrong about something — invading Iraq, for instance — know what mistakes, honest mistakes, they made. But it does feel good to remind them.
# “I will bet you the best dinner in the Gaslight District of San Diego that military action will not last more than week …” said Bill O’Reilly of Fox News.
# “All the naysayers have been humiliated so far. The final word is hooray,” said Morton Kondracke, also of Fox.
# “The war was the hard part. … It gets easier. I mean, setting up a democracy is hard, but it is not as hard as winning a war,” said Fred Barnes, also of Fox.
# “The only people who think this wasn’t a victory are Upper West Side liberals, and a few people here in Washington,” said columnist Charles Krauthammer.
# “When we find the chemical weapons … the left is going to have to hang its head for three or four more years,” said Dick Morris on Fox.
# “The three-week swing through Iraq has utterly shattered skeptics’ complaints,” said Tony Snow on Fox, before he moved over to the White House himself.
# “Now that the war in Iraq is all but over, should the people in Hollywood who opposed the president admit they were wrong?” said Alan Colmes, Fox’s house liberal.
# On MSNBC, Joe Scarborough said: “I’m waiting to hear the words, ‘I was wrong.” … I just wonder who’s going to be the first elitist to show the character to say: ‘Hey, America. Guess what? I was wrong.’”
Well, I’m waiting, too. We all make mistakes; that is the nature of life. Real grandees learn from them.
I thought about adding some Rush LimpPig quotes to this. But that would be too easy.

Limbaugh and Hannity have big audiences among the homophobes and xenophobes in this country. You can only arouse the ire in rabble that already wallows in one or another type of hatred to begin with. I don’t know about Hannity, but Limbaugh was a monumental failure before deciding to capitalize on the hatreds of the lower common denominator in this society. And look at Rush now. How anyone can still place any credibility in a guy that blast everything and everybody while wallowing in the same filth that he launches his tirades against. I wonder how many of his viewers rail and rant and cheer him on while popping THEIR pills, guzzling THEIR booze, and participating in the same things that Rush does. Of course they can look in the mirror and justify it all because after all…they are Republicans and they are the “family values” crowd. They can do no wrong.

As the Bush/neocon kleptocracy disintegrates in a toxic cloud of military defeat, economic bankruptcy, environmental disaster and escalating mega-scandal, its attack on basic American freedoms — its “New Totalitarianism” — has escalated to a desperate new level, including brutal Soviet-style prosecutions against non-violent dissidents and an all-out offensive for state secrecy, including an attack on the Internet.
In obvious panic and disarray, the GOP right has turned to a time-honored strategy — kill the messengers. While it slaughters Americans and Iraqis to “bring democracy” to the Middle East, it has made democracy itself public enemy Number One here at home.
Today Bush’s popularity has sunk to about a third of the population, a level similar to Hitler’s percent of the vote when the Nazis took power in 1933. The GOP neocons have clearly realized that they can only hold power with old-fashioned thuggery and high-tech Tammany.
Having lost the public debate on its suicidal military, economic, environmental and social policies, all-out repression and stolen elections are the two remaining pillars of the New Totalitarianism.

Speaking og LimpPig…
Even in normal times, Rush Limbaugh makes little sense during his radio gasfest. But this week, he tried to fool his audience into thinking that he wasn’t arrested.
So the man who in 1995 maintained that the way to treat drug users was to “send them up the river” gets the chance to benefit from a public program he never would have supported for others. Mr. Limbaugh’s attorney once defended his client’s comments about the case by noting that hypocrisy is not a crime. Good thing for Mr. Limbaugh, who had been a serial offender long before the issue became his own alleged criminal conduct. Anyone stopping at the Limbaugh Truth Shop for the facts about his case would see this sign: Gone Fishin’.
I think the Palm Beach Post is being too kind. And so is the For Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel:
ISSUE: Rush Limbaugh signs a plea deal.
Rush Limbaugh is in his comfort zone: full spin mode. Even as the talk radio host is being held responsible for breaking the law by seeking multiple pain pill prescriptions, he used his radio pulpit to claim vindication after 21/2 years of fighting The Man.
Some vindication. He turned himself in to the Palm Beach County Jail on the felony, and was fingerprinted, photographed and released on $3,000 bail. This, he absurdly insists, is not an “arrest.”*
Must be the drugs talking.

Seeker,
Why don’t you try listening to Rush? I guarantee you that he makes more sense than you do even when he’s just yawning at your boring comments.

The campaign runs in tandem with the attack on academic discourse coordinated by David Horowitz and other haters of open debate. In the guise of seeking “balance,” the rightist campaign aims to purge liberals from the liberal arts.
Seeker,
How do you spell baloney?
I find it interesting that these moonbats you get your wacko talking points from are so down on Stalin all of a sudden.
After all the Pulitzer Patriot, Walter Duranty, who wrote for the venerable New York Times, had nothing but wonderful things to say about the dude and his 5 Year Plan. THe land of milk and honey - that sort of stuff.
When did this awakening happen?
I know! It must have been when Bush invaded Iraq. That seems to have been the turning point around which all of modern history evolves.

Buy Danish (the unprofessional): The Kennedy camp says that he took Phenergan and Ambien under a Doctor’s order and that may have made him “appear” intoxicated. It is you who needs to get her facts straight, dear.
I doubt, however, that any amount of facts will improve your partys’ ability to accept responsibility for their own actions though, would it?

Buy Danish: Here is a story detailing your error in facts regarding Kennedys’ “sleepwalking”. I am now calling for inclusion of the “Limbaugh Defense” in RW’s “Ricktionary”. Must you always be so ill-informed?
