DLC Chairman Harold Ford, Jr. was even thwacked last week for daring to speak to this editorial page (my sincere apologies, Mr. Ford)—the clear goal to discourage him from making such a free-speech mistake again.}}}}

So right you are Duh is for Democrat.

Here is a man, Bush, that was on top of the world. To see his Neo-con fantasy crumble so fast is sad.

What is even sadder is the depth of his failure. This is not about one or two failures. It is a 6 and a half year stretch of failures, one after another.

Are we entering the point that this country can not recover from Bush’s stupidity?

If I may expound on that WSJ piece-

In a match-up on “Meet the Press” this past weekend, the Daily Kos’s Mr. Moulitsas extolled those who use his site to trash thoughtful folks such as Mr. Cuellar as a shining example of “democracy.” In the same breath he then commanded the DLC’s Mr. Ford to “control” his moderate members, and force them to stop disagreeing with liberal Democrats.——-> If you get that logic, you might just be a Daily Kos reader.<——

Duh,

I want to commend you on your undying support of democracy. Democracy, as you know, is an important institution in the US as well as Iraq because it allows the people to get what they want.

This is important because the only reason that we are in Iraq is because there is overwhelming popular support for our presence in Iraq in both countries. Lets just hope that our presence doesn’t become unpopular in either place, because I’m sure you’d agree that democracy requires that the majority rule, right? I mean, can you support a war that the vast majority of the people think is stupid AND be pro-democracy? I don’t see how. I’d say one who promotes both without recognizing his own hypocrisy must be some sort of a jackazz.

Check this out.

First we are told [Then-Attorney General John D. Ashcroft was “feeble,” “barely articulate” and “stressed” moments after a hospital room confrontation in March 2004 with Alberto R. Gonzales, who wanted Ashcroft to approve a warrantless wiretapping program over Justice Department objections, according to notes from FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III that were released yesterday.] (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/16/AR2007081601358_pf.html)

And we are told -

{{{Although Mueller did not directly witness the exchange between Ashcroft, Gonzales and Card, his notes recounted Comey’s personal statement that Ashcroft at the outset said that “he was in no condition to decide issues.” Ashcroft also told the two men he supported his deputy’s position on the secret program, Mueller said Comey told him.}}}

BUT then we learn -

{{{In his notes, Mueller recounts Comey’s statement that Ashcroft complained to Gonzales and Card at the hospital about being “barred” from obtaining “the advice he needed” about the NSA program because of “strict compartmentalization rules” set by the White House.}}}

Which is it? Was he too feeble and inarticulate to talk and in no position to decide the issues or not?

Of course the Left will lap this right up without seeing the glaring problem with Comey’s contradictory statements.

That Kos thing reminds me of Reagan’s 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Criticize Another Republican. This of course was his call for party unity which demanded that moderates not attack conservatives and vice versa. Of course for us, that isn’t hypocritical since we’re unabashedly facist and anti-democratic, whereas the same sort of thing on the democratic side is clearly hypocritical.

What you don’t see is the third picture of this cartoon. Its just another case in point of the liberal media only showing part of the story.

The third picture has a very happy Bush, at sunrise, welcoming a very tired Barney home.

Bush did appear to have that famous puzzeled look on his face. He noticed Barney didn’t have his stick in his mouth. It was a duck. A very very lame duck. Covered in buck shot and blood. Thousands and thousands of holes. To the point you could not even tell this was once a duck.

A mangled mess in a convoluted state.

This is no lame duck. Its a dead duck.

Nope. This Presidency was shot down by the liberal media.

You watch, Bush will salvage something out of this presidency. When the media throws you rotten eggs Mr President, make Duck Soup. You certainly have the duck parts chopped up nicely. What looks like a mess of blood and guts and smells of rotten eggs will some day nourish this nation.

It was a continuation of an existing program, so what was there for Ashcroft not to know about?

Although———> Mueller did not directly witness the exchange between Ashcroft, Gonzales and Card, his notes recounted Comey’s personal statement<———-that Ashcroft at the outset said that “he was in no condition to decide issues.” Ashcroft also told the two men he supported his deputy’s position on the secret program,——->Mueller said Comey told him.

AND

{{{In his notes,———->Mueller recounts Comey’s statement<——- that Ashcroft complained to Gonzales and Card at the hospital about being “barred” from obtaining “the advice he needed” about the NSA program because of “strict compartmentalization rules” set by the White House.}}

This account relies entirely on what Comey told Mueller about Ashcroft’s opinion.

And while Ashcroft was lucid enough to use phrases like “strict compartmentalization rules” he was “in no condition to decide the issues”?

The bottom line? When Ashcroft agrees with Comey (or so Comey says) he was lucid, but the rest of the time he was a drooling, babbling, idiot.

Does John Edwards ever do the right thing BEFORE he gets caught?

The Wall Street Journal has identified 34 New Orleans homes whose owners have faced foreclosure suits from subprime-lending units of Fortress Investment Group LLC. Mr. Edwards has about $16 million invested in Fortress funds, according to a campaign aide who confirmed a more general Federal Election Commission report. Mr. Edwards worked for Fortress, a publicly held private-equity fund, from late 2005 through 2006.

It’s fascinating just to watch it happen…again. You see, so many wingnuts think that government should just let big business run itself. Kinda like before the Savings & Loan collapse (BTW, how many S&L’s have you seen lately?). And how many off those greedy b******* went to jail (not Keating)?

For how many years now have the mortgage lenders offered sub-prime loans? They really wanted the closing fees (to pump up their earnings & stock prices and pay big salaries), then they packaged these loans and sold them to greedy investors. Meanwhile, the mortgage lenders made money by servicing the loans (processing the payments).

Now that these people who should never have qualified for the loan in the first place are defaulting because their “teaser-rate” adjustable loan has just increased their payments, the financial markets are freaking out. I mean when housing prices were going up, the mortgage holder could repossess the house and sell it, thus getting their money back. But since the housing market collapse, OOPS!!!

So now the mortgage lenders are struggling because their infrastructure is not designed to be profitable when few new mortgages are being written. Hedge funds are struggling because they purchased too many sub-prime mortgages. International investors are struggling because they, too bought these same sub-prime mortgages (these greedy investors went where the highest interest rate return were).

The next shoe to drop will be the “interest-only” loans followed by the “reverse mortgages”.

There better not be another bail-out. The people who pay for bail-outs are the lowly taxpayers.

Bwahaha. That’s how Edwards learned about poverty by working at a Hedge Fund! He learned all about how they foreclose on impoverished people who were Katrina victims.

Classic.

And it’s usually against my better nature, but I think I’ll indulge in a little Schadenfreude for a change. As such, I can’t say I’m heartbroken that he has $16 million invested with this group.

Hey, maybe Edwards should give up some of his fortune for the Greater Good and use it to get these foreclosed houses back to their original owners! It could be part of his fight to merge the Two Americas.

Buy,

You raise a good point about the possibility that Comey simply lied under oath about Ashcroft’s position. Well, Ashcroft’s out of the hospital now. Has he set the record straight?

Duh,

As far as hoping that you die in a terrorist act, I simply thought that you were a real hawk willimg to sacrifice himself for the cause and not a chicken hawk who is happy to let other people die while they explore “other priorities.” So I take it that you think a terrorist attack would be good for the country but just as long as other people die and not you. So I guess you are a Cheney Republican?

As far as who is more like the terrorists, I don’t think that they hate us for our “family values” they hate us for our “freedoms.” You know liberal freedoms, like liquor, wearing bikinis, porn, strip bars, abortion, gay marriage etc… Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative author, wrote an entire book saying that the libs invited the attack because of their God-less hedonism. Robertson and Falwell made the exact same point on 9/12/01. I think that it could be well argued that if we could kill all the liberals that they’d leave us alone. The only differnce betwen the Ayotollah and Robertson is the title of the book. In any event the terrorists aren’t trying to topple Middle Eastern regimes to install “liberalism.” If you think that they are blowing themselves up and others so that they can see their wives in thongs at the beach while they sip a cocktail, you more f-ing crazy than I thought.

Have you heard any such thing from Bin Laden? Was the Taliban liberal? Hell no they beat the hell out of women who left to house showing finger. And I say good for them. The government needs to keep people in line because they are far too willing to abuse their freedoms and then run to the ACLU when somebody tries to make them act like the Government wants them to.

I’m sorry to say it, but you are really full of sh*t on this one.

Shame on John Edwards! Interesting article RW linked to. Let’s take a closer look at a legal eagle.

((He has said his job at Fortress was to provide information about what he saw happening economically in the U.S. and overseas. He has also said he was there ——>”primarily to learn”<—— about finance.))

So John is there to offer economic advice while learning about finance?

((In the interview yesterday, Mr. Edwards said that when he first joined Fortress, “I made clear that I didn’t want to have anything I was investing in to be antilabor or involved in predatory lending practices.”))

Trust but verify John…trust but verify.

((But he added that ——>he didn’t fully understand the firm’s complex operations,<—— saying: “They’re diverse. They’re very diverse.”))

So, he didn’t really learn anything or so he would have you believe.

((Near the close of the poverty tour, Mr. Edwards traveled to a Cleveland neighborhood that has a high foreclosure rate. “This is wrong. ——>This is not complicated, it is wrong,”<—— he said, as he walked along. “These people have been taken advantage of.”))

So give the people the impression that you’re smarter than they are while making millions off of his own declaration of ignorance.

But in the end…

((Edwards aides, while apologetic for the foreclosures, defended subprime lending in general.))

When the C-SPAN producer toiling in obscurity last month reached for the tape, he had no clue how juicy a nugget he had unearthed. The tape was labeled simply, “Life and Career of Dick Cheney”; dated April 15, 1994….

At the time of the interview 13 years ago, Cheney was the ex-defense secretary, camped out at the American Enterprise Institute and contemplating a run for president. Asked why he didn’t think U.S. forces should have gone on to Baghdad during the first Persian Gulf War, he asked rhetorically, “How many additional dead Americans is Saddam worth?” He added, “It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to take over Iraq.”

The now famous “quagmire” tape, which has gotten over half a million views on YouTube, may well have remained buried in the archives for another decade (and doesn’t Cheney wish it had!) if it hadn’t been for that one C-SPAN producer, an affable young Irishman named Emmanuel Touhey….The Cheney tape re-aired for the first time since 1994 on July 11, 2007. But it wasn’t until C-SPAN aired the interview again on August 9 (on the same channel, at the same time) that the blogosphere noticed. As far as we know, the Cheney remarks on Iraq were first noticed by the site Grand Theft Country….

So Rudy claims that he spent as much time as the rescue workers at Ground Zero — he obviously has no mathematical skills, and therefore will not be elected POTUS (no more math-challenged POTUS’s allowed after W leaves the White House — lesson learned):

A complete record of Mr. Giuliani’s exposure to the site is not available for the chaotic six days after the attack, when he was a frequent visitor. But an exhaustively detailed account from his mayoral archive, revised after the events to account for last-minute changes on scheduled stops, does exist for the period of Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001. It shows he was there for a total of 29 hours in those three months, often for short periods or to visit locations adjacent to the rubble. In that same period, many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12-hour shifts.

Duh,

All I did was follow the lead of Fox News. That is where I got the idea that a terrorist attack might be a good idea. Again it was Fox News. John Gibson’s show.

I thought that we wingers were supposed to listen to what Fox News said. Are you sayig that Fox News is “a maggot living off of a great country and undermining it from within, wishing death on the innocent civilians that live here, like ‘they’ did?”

If so, go ahead and ruin your winger credentials and denigrate the only Fair and Balanced News out there. You know you won’t find any wishes for terror attacks in the NYT, because its liberal.

You do realize that the Madrid Train bombings occurred the day after the famous Ashcroft hospital visit.

Those people in Madrid might be alive today if they had had our Terrorist Surveillance Program.

Indeed, the Americans who died on 9/11 could be alive today if that program had been in place.

Moreover, the TSP was adjusted to satisfy perceived problems that were under discussion at that time, although you apparently are STILL not satisfied.

How many innocents have to die to satisfy your demands that programs comply with anachronistic FISA programs and the like?

And considering your concerns for privacy and civil rights, doesn’t it bother you that the I.R.S. has so much data on your fellow Americans?

For all of those who are attacking Cheney for saying in 1994 that Iraq would be a quagmire, and that pieces of Iraq could “fly off” because of the differnt sects if we took Baghdad in 1991, you should also point out that he was just wrong back them. 9/11 changed everything and that is why everything is going great. No quagmire, no sectarian divisions. I watch Fox everyday and I’ve heard nothing but great things coming out of Iraq. So Cheney made a mistake. Haven’t you?

Besides Cheney has given a very good explanation for the inconsistency. His office said that the differnce is that Cheney wasn’t VP in 1994. I think that, and you’ll agree, that explains everything.

I think it is a good lesson for all politicians who change from one position to another. For example: You used to be pro-abortion rights now your pro-life? A: I was 42 to then now I’m 48.

You used to be for gun control, now your not? A: That was August. Its now October.

You were against the war before you were for it? A: Wasn’t that on a Tuesday. As you can see this is a Thursday.

I think that if every politician took the appraoch Cheney has that our faith in Government would increase 10 fold.

What will the historians say of this pudgy, balding fellow who was called Bush’s Brain, the man who so skillfully set the ambushes and laid the bouncing betty mines that would kill or maim far better candidates than the one he helped rise to elected office at least six levels above his competence?

What will they write one day about this man who, more than any other in a century, so polarized and divided a great nation and people and converted the great game of politics into a blood sport, a killing sport?

Who outside the inner circle of the Bush White House or the Cro-Magnon Wing of the Grand Old Party or a few journalist hacks bartering their souls for “access” would want to sit down and have a drink with Karl Rove?

Great point about Edwards never going to the WTC site and like Guliani, Edwards said that he had spent more time there than the workers themselves. So you can see that it is much more of an exaggeration for Edwards than for Rudy.

Show these libs the quote from Edwards saying that he was at the WTC site a lot. I’ve tried to find it but all I can find is Rudy saying that he was there more than the workers. Must be the liberal media covering up for him.

This reminds me of the candidate who said that he stopped molesting kids only to find out that he had molested a couple since he claimed to have stopped. His opponent on the other hand never even tried to stop molesting kids. It was because he hadn’t started but the point remains. The commercials were great in that campaign. “I’ve pladged to stop molesting young boys. Why won’t my opponent make the same pledge?” I think that was a Rove campaign. Rove knew that the strongest attribute that the opposition had was that he’d never molested a child. Rove made it a weakness. If you can swift boat a veteran on behalf of a draft dodger you can swift boat a non-sex offender on behalf of a child molester. Amazing strategic mind Rove has. I see a lot of the same in you Duh.

I only trust the candidate who delivers the bad news with the good. I’ve heard plenty of bad news from Bush. Reality requires it. When all the news is bad, the reality of it is questioned by me.

Liberals are all too willing to convict without evidence. Their eagerness to proclaim the guilt of Michael Vick before his trial was astounding.

Tell me…many liberals here were eager to declare Jose Padilla an innocent victim before his trial. Are you willing to now say he’s guilty?

When people asked me about O.J. Simpson after his criminal trial, I said “He’s been acquitted” by a jury of his peers. They wanted me to get into the everyday arguments. It wasn’t important to me, the facts were.

It’s nice when you can get ‘em, the facts that is, but it just looks stupid when people think they can see them in your own slobber.

I always knew Padilla was guilty because that’s what the President told me. I’m just disappointed he got a jury trial. In this post-9/11 world I don’t think we can afford the freedom of having jury trials. Lets just have the President decide who goes to jail and who doesn’t. Its what the founders would have wanted. They fought and died so that the executive could imprison whoever he wanted. Would’ve worked great but the ACLU got involved.

How many times do we have to hear that they hate of for our freedoms before we wise up and get rid of the thing that is making us the target: freedom.

As to your point about bad news, you are right to trust Bush because he said over and over again that Iraq would be difficult and costly. He gave us the bad news. Now everybody wants to complain. I wonder if anyone can find all of the warnings Bush made on Iraq before the invasion. I’d like to see them again to prove to myself that I didn’t just make that up.

As I started downloading the data in sequence they cut off my access to the data.” “They blocked my IP address,” McIntyre said. When contacted by phone to verify the computer block NASA spokeswoman Leslie McCarthy said, “This is the first I’ve heard of this.” McCarthy had not yet responded to the full transcript at the time of publication. “After I was blocked and I explained myself they still didn’t want to let me have access to the data,” McIntyre lamented. He continued: “They just said go look at the original data. And I said no, I want to see the data you used. I know what the original data looks like. I want to see the data that you used.

Getalife— it makes sense to me that the trolls are still ignorant about who is writing the “Petreaus” Report. After all, it would require watching and/or listening to a diverse group of news outlets, or reading any news sources, other than getting opinions from the daily rants of Limbaugh, Hannity & Bill-O, et al… those guys have all taken a pledge to not even discuss what’s going on in Iraq anymore.

Like Bill-O has stated before (in essence but not verbatim): “I’m not going to talk about the war in Iraq because I don’t really know what’s going on there!”

If a report had my name on it I would insist that I write it.

I’ve heard many reports of what these so called ‘reporters & news groups’ think, yet are claiming as ‘facts’. Until the report is written and there is proof as to the author, your claims and anyone else’s claims are nothing but BS.

Night train,

Maybe this will answer your question about the Petraeus report:

Now it turns out the Petraeus report won’t actually be written by Petraeus. It will be produced by … the White House. That’s right, the very same folks who brought you this war that has dragged on for more than four bloody years, despite reassurances that the insurgency was in its last throes and so on.

Sound like bait-and-switch?

Oh, and as far as Petraeus being a star witness in Congress, whose members were asked to wait for his advice and counsel? Well, according to yesterday’s Washington Post, the administration thinks it might be a teeny bit better if he and Ambassador Ryan Crocker appeared at a private briefing, while Condi and Gates deliver the public testimony. Could the Bushies be trying to keep Petraeus off TV? Ya think?

Will Congress swallow and accept this arrangement? I don’t think so.

No matter how the administration packages it and rolls it out, the question is whether the report will show much progress, and whether the general will be as candid about the war as his record (with the exception of his pre-2004 election cheerleading) would suggest. If the report is mixed, will some wavering Republicans abandon Bush?

To be clear about the Petreaus report the moonbat(ic)s® are in full dither over, the legislation they passed specifically says the White House is to report to them in writing as to the status of the Petreaus plan.

So the report is and always has been, by law, coming from the White House and Petreaus will be testifying privately and publicly to it’s veracity.

As usual with these loons it’s a complete non-story that the White House is writing the report. By law, passed by a Democrat controlled Congress, the White House has to write it.

My only point is that the Bush Administration wanted to try him secretly without a jury. They wanted to be able to hold him indefinatly, deny him a lawyer, and try him with evidence he couldn’t see. That is the model I want to see adopted for all US citizens. The jury conviction suggests that all of that was unecessary and the the jury system can work in the post-9/11 world.

Padilla, the TERRORIST case has been used by the left to undermine Bush’s enemy combatant policies and for no other reason.

In the end, Padilla and his accomplices were found guilty. There will be some cases where evidence will jeopardize our security by calling for classified information to be released into evidence.

I’ll apply the precautionary principle and it won’t favor the terrorists.

The same principles and policies were used in WWII and we’re none the worse because they were. To the contrary….freedom prevailed.

I agree. And the President should decide who is the terrorist without any review whatsoever by anyone. You could be called a terrorist and shipped off just by the stroke of a pen. And that’s how it should be. And don’t give me any WWII crap. Any trials then were conducted under that outdated Geneva Convention. I don’t want to hear any BS about the Bush enemy combatant policy being like WWII ‘cause that is just a damn lie. Hell the only people we held without trial were thaose damn Japs and then we apologized and paid ‘em off. That wouldn’t happen under Bush’s plan and thank God for that. No excuses, no apologies, ever.

Back to the point, a jury trial for an American citizen accused of terrorism is a victory for terrorists because freedom to terrorists is like blood in the water to a shark. That’s why we need to get rid of the freedoms, so that we canb be safe. As Ben Franklin said, “Any man who values freedom over security isn’t a wuss like me.” Truer words were never spoken.

Yep the Al Gore got that Global Warming misconception all wrong:

WASHINGTON (AP) — There was less sea ice in the Arctic on Friday than ever before on record, and the melting is continuing, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported. “Today is a historic day,” said Mark Serreze, a senior research scientist at the center. “This is the least sea ice we’ve ever seen in the satellite record and we have another month left to go in the melt season this year.”

Satellite measurements showed 2.02 million square miles of ice in the Arctic, falling below the Sept. 21, 2005, record minimum of 2.05 million square miles, the agency said.

The polar regions have long been of concern to climate specialists studying global warming because those regions are expected to feel the impact of climate change sooner and to a greater extent than other areas.

Sea ice in the Arctic helps keep those regions cool by reflecting sunlight that might be absorbed by darker land or ocean surfaces. Exposed to direct sun, for example, instead of reflecting 80% of the sunlight, the ocean absorbs 90%. That causes the ocean to heat up and raises Arctic temperatures.

Unusually clear sky conditions have prevailed in the Arctic in June and July, promoting more sunshine at the time when the sun is highest in the sky over the region.

I’m sure they’d like to have more money, but it takes power (money) and influence (money) to get money.

Compare a welfare check or a WIC check and those poor b******* hardly get anything. Now lets say that I make 10,000,000 a year and Bush cuts my rate from 39.5 to 31. I just saved 850k. How many welfare checks does it take to cover that?

Everybody votes for cash, we just get a whole lot more of it.

Loved your line about “Bush fatigue”! I, for one, am showing acute symptoms! It seems like this incompetent madness, disguised as governance, will never end soon enough.

And I think everyone can sense that the mood in this country is turning EXTREMELY sour on the Bush gang.

In addition, it seems to me that the Republicans have a large and growing problem they may never be able to resolve without an extremely healthy dose of courage.

Until and unless they can get their percentage of elected leaders who have served on active duty above one-tenth of one percent, the American people, one would hope, will never again give them the credence they have had in the past.

Particularly when it comes to matters of national defense.

And I believe this lack of service (notwithstanding Mitt’s heroic children!) is born out by the fact that they have the worst track record imaginable in the very thing they TALK a wonderful game about - prosecuting an effective invasion and promoting America’s strategic interests.

There is just no other way to put it, this shameful administration is now completely incapable of strengthening America’s security.
