Unearthed! The Justice Department Loyalty Oath written by Monica Goodling:

“I, [state your name], do solemnly swear On, like, the biggest Bible ever, Preferably one from Regent University, That I will faithfully execute my duties As they’re passed down from Karl and Alberto and Monica [Wink at me. Hi!] And occasionally a late-night phone call from a U.S. Senator or Representative from my state. And will, to the best of my ability, Prosecute any and all Democrats on voter fraud charges, I mean really grind my boot into their face until they’re unrecognizable, And they need, like, a hundred and eighty stitches in their Democrat heads, No matter how bogus the charges are, And they will, trust me, be bogus as hell, I will go after them, their families, their pets, Their careers and their friends. I will dig up the bodies of their relatives and mock them, And I will go through their trash twice a day. And I will never prosecute people in my own party, No matter how corrupt they are, Because that would be like punching my mom in the mouth. One nation, under, like, the most awesomest God, A Christian God, of course, evangelical and heterosexual, And the most awesomest President, George W. Bush. And one more thing…I will NEVER breath a word of this to anyone. And if I’m ever subpoenaed, I’ll print all my emails and then burn them, So they’ll be destroyed for good. Go, JUSTICE! Go, JESUS! Go, BUSH! Go, REPUBLICANS! Amen.

Congratulations. You’re in.

Is ML serious? With all that is going on the world, who cares about how well Katie Couric mimes the news?

The new Commonwealth Fund Report was released today and it says the same thing it has said for quite a long while. “The United States is not getting value for the money that is spent on health care.”

Our nation desperately needs to jettison the hodge-podge, hap-hazard, cobbled-together system of healthcare that has evolved in response to managed-care reforms instituted since the ‘80s and replace it with an efficient system of Universal Health Care that will better serve the public at large.

U.S. Healthcare Expensive, Inefficient: Report

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans get the poorest health care and yet pay the most compared to five other rich countries, according to a report released on Tuesday. Germany, Britain, Australia and Canada all provide better care for less money.

“The U.S. health care system ranks last compared with five other nations on measures of quality, access, efficiency, equity, and outcomes,” the non-profit group which studies health care issues said in a statement. The group has consistently found that the United States, the only one of the six nations that does not provide universal health care, scores more poorly than the others on many measures of health care.

“It is pretty indisputable that we spend twice what other countries spend on average,” she said. Per capita health spending in the United States in 2004 was $6,102, twice that of Germany, which spent $3,005. Canada spent $3,165, New Zealand $2,083 and Australia $2,876, while Britain spent $2,546 per person.

“We focus primarily on measures that are sensitive to medical care making a difference — infant mortality and healthy lives at age 60,” Davis said. “Those are pretty key measures, like if your children will survive infancy and whether you are going to die before age 75.”

They also looked at convenience and again found the United States lacking — with a few exceptions. “We include measures such as waiting more than four months for elective, non-emergency surgery. The United States doesn’t do as well as Germany but it does a lot better than the other countries on waiting time for surgery,” Davis said.

“We looked at the time it takes to get in to see your own doctor … (or) once you go to the emergency room do you sit there for more than two hours, and truthfully, we don’t do well on those measures,” Davis said.

The United States had the fewest patients — 84 percent — reporting that they have a regular doctor. And U.S. doctors are the least wired, with the lowest percentage using electronic medical records or receiving electronic updates on recommended treatments.

Carrigan, who was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967, says he has no idea why this story was attributed to him. “I never met Jane Fonda,” he told me. It goes without saying he never handed her a secret message.

Luckovich got one right, but as they say even as stopped clock… However, you libs still don’t get why not only CBS has ratings in the toilet, so do the Arab Broadcasting Co. and the Nazi Broadcasting Co. The big three together only have 30 million viewers a night. This is not just cable. This is also because the coverage is so slanted and left-wing p.c. opinion driven as to make it completely irrelevant. Just look at what happened in France this past week and think for a little while. Segolene Royal was backed by the great majority of the European press, but because socialism is irrelevant, their slant meant less and less. People, at least those with the ablitity to think for themselves, are seeking out other sources of news because they know lies when they hear or read them. I wonder if the AJC’s brilliant publishers and editors have asked themselves why their cirulcation is in the dust bin?

3 missing soldiers. Al queda? The last time we searched for a missing soldier in Sadr City, we were told to get the F out of there and stop looking. Bush complied. I dont think anyone’s mentioned that poor soldier to Bush/Rush since. I wonder what happened to him. Hannity wont mention him, cause Hannity wont allow ratings to drop by confronting the truth, or dealing with messy realities that dont conform to spin.

The problem with that 3 missing soldier report is that Bush/Rush has no data about the Al Queda constituency. How large are the cells? Average Profile? How are they supplied? How many men? Clones? Wannabe’s? Copy Cats? It’s easy to say you’re al queda? What is al queda?

Bush/Rush has no info. In fact, the depth and breadth of Bush’s Iraq Adventure is still alarming the most cautious and reluctant of those who voted for this war. We still dont really know what kind of animal Iraq is becoming. It’s still forming, evolving, and anything can happen.

The visit by the 11 concerned conservatives to the white house last week is misleading. Even though it provides a ray of hope that a veto overriding majority is forming in congress, it suggests a different scenario.

The reality of Iraq is slowly following the news reports back to the US. There is a truth about what Bush has unleashed that will astonish and frighten. The fact that most Republicans are four years behind the curve of Liberal Wisdom about this war means that soon the truth will be uttered by respected members of the Republican Party and those words coming out of those mouths will shake up this country like never before.

What have we done? We’re about to understand. The pathetic conservative blogs about Iraq, so simplistic and ignorant about the reality on the ground and what’s evolving and what’s already irreversible, will destroy the Party. Let them spew. Let Rush/Hannity make fools out of themselves. Watch as they start to try to spin their way out of it. Watch as they say, “Uh, I was just trying to show the country, during that last 1000 broadcasts, how liberals think the war is going, see, they want to stay the course and destroy the “al queders” in Iraq, and ignore the civil war, but we conservatives know better, we were against the war, but we had to show everyone that it’s the liberals who are for the war and stuff.

We all saw those photos. Many people criticized Fonda for what she acknowledged to have done. I am one of those people. Her visit to North Vietnam and willingness to be a propaganda stooge is not in dispute.

What is being disputed is why you continue to lie.

Since the Stupidest Troll on the Internets refuses to own up to why he lies, let’s speculate, shall we?

1) Habit. Telling the Big Lie over and over again is so ingrained in the RW Troll mindset they simply can’t help themselves. They seem especially susceptible to lies about the military; remember their ridiculous obsession with John Kerry’s botched punchline, and how they pretended he was speaking about “the troops,” and not GWB?

2) Desperation. With <30% approval these days, the neocons have nothing new, so they are forced to recycle old nonsense.

3) Mental disorder. Only The Stupidest Troll on the Internets’ shrink knows for sure.

Any other suggestions? Join in, won’t you?

The Iraqis are telling us with every word and act that they would rather start over in the stone age than spend another minute under US occupation.

They dont want any part of any US ideas.

If we are stupid enough to ever leave Iraq, then they will hang every member of the elected parliament shortly afterwards. That’s a fact.

We are trapped in Iraq forever. that’s the first truth that Rush/Hannity must broadcast. We are not electing to stay, but rather we are being forced to stay.

Hannity/Rush has never ever once admitted that the Iraqi Parliament is mostly Shia. Never. They probably dont know about it, or they dont know what it means. No, they would rather look at the Fort Dix Six, and rant all day long about how liberals want to free them because they were discovered by unconstitutional methods, or some spin like that.

The Fort Dix Six would have been cut down at the gates of Fort Dix. They had no real plan, instead, were drawn along by FBI infiltrators who probably came up with all the ideas, as stupid as they were. Sounds like a Bush plan to me. There are very many similarities in the Iraq Invasion plan and the Fort Dix attack plan. Probably the same genius wrote both.

The CIA says that Plan B was to burn a pile of Dixie Chicks records.

Also, Rush uses the Fort Dix Six to prove that al queda is here and the war on terror is real and Iraq is the front lines. Try to follow the logic. You’re head will implode. The man’s mind has obviously been fried by RX.

And I think it’s a damn shame.

Luck,

The tactic of a terrorist is to instill fear. To cause those who are afraid to do that which they would not otherwise do. To cause certain members of the terrorized society to turn on their fellow citizens.

I understand that you are afraid. You demonstrate it everyday. You are a scared little child in a dangerous world who believes that there are enemies among you, including a substantial portion of your countryman(libs). Therefore the Terrorists have won the battle of Luck. They can stick their flag in your chest and declare “Mission Accomplished.”

However, many of the rest of us are not afraid. We were not afraid of the British Empire, Japan or Nazi Germany and we will not let a rag tag bunch of nut cases destroy the country from within or without.

You, personally, have lost the war on terror. Can you summon the decency to shut up and let the rest of us Americans, liberal, independent or conservative, win it? Now go crawl into your whole while the rest of us in a bipartisan way, make Bush irrelevant and end this stupid, stupid war.

Another favorite RR quote:

“However, our task is far from over. Our friends in the other party will never forgive us for our success, and are doing everything in their power to rewrite history. Listening to the liberals, you’d think that the 1980’s were the worst period since the Great Depression, filled with suffering and despair. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting awfully tired of the whining voices from the White House these days. They’re claiming there was a decade of greed and neglect, but you and I know better than that. We were there.”- Ronald Reagan, Speech at 1994 Gala for 83rd Birthday (1994-02-03)

Being a RR fan, I am often reminded of the irony of the former President’s words. In retrospect, I have now lived through the ’90s, as well, and seen the same words to be applicable to the Reps as regards their admonishment of Clinton’s prosperous tenure during the ’90s. I expect these words will always hold true from one administration change to the next, such is the nature of American hubris.

From my own experience, the ’80s were very good to me; so were the ’90s and I’m still doing as well, today. Contrary to pronouncements from the radical right/left, whether led by cons or libs, America has remained the greatest place to live in the world. I expect the same will hold true in the future, as well, regardless of pronouncements from doomsday prophets from either side of the aisle.

No doom and gloom from where I sit AntiR. Here’s my favorite among Reagan’s many great speeches:

I wasn’t a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn’t spring full bloom from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation — from our experience, our wisdom and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries.”

First link I checked, nothing yet but I wanted to share this:

{{{In 1972 Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and others traveled to North Vietnam to give their support to the North Vietnamese’s Government. When she returned to the United States, she advised the news media that all of the American Prisoners of War were being well treated and were not being tortured. As the American POWs returned home in 1973, they spoke out about the inhumane treatment and torture they had suffered as prisoners of war. Their stories directly contradicted Jane Fonda’s earlier statements of 1972. Some of the American POWs such as Senator John McCain, a former Presidential candidate, stated that he was tortured by his guards for refusing to meet with groups such as Jane Fonda’s. Jane Fonda, in her response to these new allegations, referred to the returning POWs as being “hypocrites and liars.”}}}

That being from an American soldier, who’s word I have no doubts about at all.

Katie Couric is actually a good, experienced journalist who, unfortunately, is getting smeared by people who only remember her “interviews” with Burt Reynolds and her “fun with cute/gross” animals on the Today show.

If you want to talk shallow, talk ex Today host Deborah Norville.

Unfortunately, CBS is trying to instantly transform her into the next John Chanchellor, minus the gonads. A terrible mistake. I don’t watch her. Charles Gibson and Brian Williams (in that order) are so much better. But she can’t be that unhappy. At $15 million a year, I wouldn’t be in too big of a funk.

Jim - - As an active duty military veteran (1969-1973), and against the Vietnam “conflict” at the time, I supported anti-war efforts. (Jane has regrets and apologized for youthful indiscretions.) The war on Vietnamese (and Iraqis) is far worse than her transgressions. We should not have been there to begin with. I expect there will be plenty of finger pointing when this quagmire is reviewed decades in the future, but the blame should be focused on Duh-bya’s administration for the invasion and all consequences (human toll, environmental and cultural destruction and financial burden).

“SUPPORT OUR TROOPS” does not mean sending them into battle and cheering from the comfort of your daily routine.

Who sent our young men to Vietnam and demanded 58,195 sacrifice their lives? Robert McNamara (architect of the Vietnam war) made apologies for his role in the conflict. Where is the vilification of those who sent troops into battle and POW status? (Jane Fonda is a distraction from the real issues.)

“The resulting chaos in the aftermath of a military victory in Iraq could easily pose a far greater danger to the United States than we presently face from Saddam. Here’s why I say that; we know that he has stored away secret supplies of biological weapons and chemical weapons throughout his country. As yet, we have no evidence, however, that he has shared any of those weapons with terrorist groups. If the administration has evidence that he has, please present it, because that would change the way we all look at this thing.”

February 1993: The Internal Revenue Service determines that funds from Falwell’s Old Time Gospel Hour program were illegally funneled to a political action committee. The IRS forced Falwell to pay $50,000 and retroactively revoked the Old Time Gospel Hour’s tax-exempt status for 1986-87

1994-1995: Falwell is criticized for using his “Old Time Gospel Hour” to hawk a scurrilous video called “The Clinton Chronicles” that makes a number of unsubstantiated charges against President Bill Clinton—among them that he is a drug addict and that he arranged the murders of political enemies in Arkansas. Despite claims he had no ties to the project, evidence surfaced that Falwell helped bankroll the venture with $200,000 paid to a group called Citizens for Honest Government (CHG). CHG’s Pat Matrisciana later admitted that Falwell and he staged an infomercial interview promoting the video in which a silhouetted reporter said his life was in danger for investigating Clinton. (Matrisciana himself posed as the reporter.) “That was Jerry’s idea to do that,” Matrisciana recalled. “He thought that would be dramatic.”

November 1997: Falwell accepts $3.5 million from a front group representing controversial Korean evangelist Sun Myung Moon to ease Liberty University’s financial woes. The donation, and several Falwell appearances at Moon conferences, raised eyebrows because Moon claims to be the messiah sent to complete the failed mission of Jesus Christ, a doctrine sharply at odds with Falwell’s fundamentalist Christian theology. (In 1978, before the Moon money started flowing, Falwell told Esquire magazine, “Reverend Sun Myung Moon is like the plague: he exploits boys and girls, and he should be exported.”)

Respect must be earned. His behavior did not deserve it.

The man was a street fighter, a politico. He never minced words. I see no point, I see no reason to imagine that it somehow respects the man’s memory, not to note what an SOB he could be.

If there is an afterlife (and I want to believe that there is, and no, contrary to my snarky earlier comment, I do not believe there is a Hell because I don’t think God is a jerk) he’s getting to know the souls of men and women he thought were inferior to him. And that’s where he’ll find, finally, the enlightenment that eluded him in this world.

The convoluted logic of the far right resulted in a mind-boggling collision with the government that leaves one speechless. After supporting the denial of virtually every civil right of “terrorist suspects,” the NRA is balking at taking away their right to buy guns (including assault weapons.) That’s right. A “terrorist suspect” can be detained indefinitely without legal representation, his home can be searched without warrant, his every communication subjected to warrantless eavesdropping, he can be placed on a no-fly list, but by God, he can buy the best assault rifle he can afford.

I remember the exact quote, you dildo, it was “he leaked the information to Politico, I DON’T KNOW WHY HE WOULD DO THAT, maybe to jump start his campaign.”

Unquote.

Or were you thinking of those little commie soldiers while you pulled on it?

LuckoDork,

There you go again…painting images of Jane sitting on a “big gun.” Then you add more details about your fantasy by including a bunch of strapping NVA soldiers surrounding Jane while she’s mounting this “big gun”.

Methinks that LuckoDork needs to cut down on his Asian porn fettish and focus on more important political issues while he’s on this blog.

Well, let’s just see what little peterhead’s link says:

{{{There’s no disputing that Jane Fonda toured North Vietnam, propagandized on behalf of the communists, and participated in an orchestrated “press conference” with American POWs in 1972. There’s no denying that she defamed POWs by whitewashing the Viet Cong’s treatment of them and later calling them liars when they spoke out. But how true are the further allegations in these email rumors? Let’s examine their veracity point by point, beginning with the most serious: # Claim: Fonda betrayed POWs by turning over slips of paper they gave her to their captors. POWs were beaten and {{{{{{{{{{died}}}}}}}}}}} as a result.}}}

Geez, you found one guy who freely admits he NEVER SAW Fonda, yes, it would have been hard to pass her a note, I’ll admit.

LuckoDork,

When it comes to Congressional approval ratings, they’re usually dismal because everyone thinks their own sh-it doesn’t stink—meaning that people are likely to support their own Congressman while believing that most other Congressmen are scum.

Now you have to ask yourself about your child-king’s dismal ratings. Are you really that gleeful about a 33% approval rating? I mean, 33% is great if it’s your batting average, but approval rating? Clinton polled around 60% upon his leaving office—and that was after his impeachment.

You support a guy who can’t even poll better than an impeached president. LMAO!!

He sucks because he made bad decisions. Now you and other neoCONs are scurring to find dirt elsewhere to deflect attention from the POS CiC that you so vehemently support.

The 10,000 dead moratorium is over:

{{{[F]rankly, the people who’ve ponied up $4,600 for Obama in this election cycle might as well have piled the money on the kitchen table and set fire to it. Or donated it to the Audubon Society, which has a lot better chance of being in business a year from now than Obama’s presidential campaign. Beam does not get into many specifics, but he speaks to a growing sense that Obama does not have the right stuff. Most of this sense seems to stem from Obama’s recent attacks of foot-in-mouth — most recently, his 10,000-dead-in-Kansas gaffe.}}}

You know I was going to be respectful of the “I’m tired” excuse but I remember a certain group of people that spare no mercy over Bush and his frequent propensity to mangle a word or two.

This is worse than that.

Where does he even arrive at 10,000 and doesn’t correct himself until hours later?

As an agnostic I would never wish death on anyone because I know that this is the only life any of us will ever have. Today Jerry Falwell is in the same place all of us will be- he’s just dead. No heaven, no hell, although if the latter existed he would deserve it.

However, the world is better off without him. He spent his life deluding a great number of people and spreading hatred. The stooges on this blog (andy, rw, Granny, @@, Dusty, etc.) spew the same nonsense daily, but they have no real influence, no power whatsoever. They just spread their tripe and serve as fodder for the progressives who come here for entertainment. If anything, they turn more moderates to the left with their ignorance and hate.

Falwell, on the other hand, was a charlatan who used silly mythology to prey on the uneducated and influence and indoctrinate tens of thousands of people, many young adults, to hate homosexuals and even free thought. He would have preferred our nation to be a theocracy, the Christian equivalent of the form of government advocated by Islamist extremists. At his core he was in opposition to the fundamental philosophy this nation was founded under, yet he willingly attacked millions of Americans as anti-American and responsible for terrorist acts. And he successfully spread this ideology. By laying claim to the terms “morality” and “values,” he attacked the left as devoid of both, while all evidence suggests that it was actually he who lacked those qualities. Just because you say it’s so doesn’t make it so. He lived a life of lies and deceit.

The world is a better place this afternoon.

I travelled freely throughout the communist countries. As an American it was relaxing and, at times, quaint. The dollar was very strong, then. All were intellectually stifling.
