Eventually, Pigman wore Big Dick down and Big Dick couldn't resist this vulgar little bit.

At end of interview....

I paraphrase but the gist is true

Subject: recess apt of the swift boat guy (Ross?)

Pigman: "well you may not use my word... bla bla bla but the Dems are Stalinists...

Big Dick: " That's right......"

The big dick did not even skip a beat. Awsome!

Condi for President?!!!??.

ROFLMAO.

This writer works for Comedy Central, Right?

Wait, I have to get off the floor again. Sorry, there I go again......

Condi for President?

Did you forget the punchline?

President of what...

the PTA (opps sorry, my bad)

the Federal Whistle Blowers (opps sorry she don't qualify)

Persons of Color Who Sold All Their Integrity to Lick the Bush Boot (OK now we're getting somewhere, and at least Colin will have some company).

Thanks for the laugh!

Surely, the best hope for a GOP '08 presidential win involves a run by a popular incumbent vip. And it can all happen with votes of Congressional repukes and, a few justifiably outraged Dennis Kosinichs.

...you never see it coming?

Now wait one minute Mr. Gingrich!

You got some 'splaining to do before you get a seat at the sane table.

You are a very bad joke. And you know you can always count on any audience to be woefully ignorant of American history and your own recent political disgrace. But don't think that gives you a free pass to suddenly swerve into the sane lane. Your crimes against our political commons are just too enormous.

Until you prefaces EVERY ONE OF YOUR SPEECHES with a full, contrite confession of the vast evil effect you have had on contemporary American politics- oh, God! Let me count the ways; vulgar slander, tax fraud, personal infidelity amounting to political hypocrisy, historical revisionism- AND DO THIS FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS- you will, like a serial con artist your are, continue to fool some of the people all of the time.

But yes, I am obsessing- obsessing about when this story will go mainstream.

For anyone watching this administration, "relentless" and "absolutely relentless" is the ONLY way to describe how they play and win the 24 hour news cycle game. Comes now the Iraq invasion, so coat this same crowd with a 105% determination to not let the Press "lose the war" (everybody say "Viet Nam"). Heck, by now, Boylan's vulgar smear and fear is, well, to be expected.

Move on? HELL NO!

Meanwhile, I'll keep obsessing about Senators Webb, Dodd or Leahey holding public hearings on this matter.

Mr Starght Talk to Press: "Rhetoric! Shetoroic and I dare you to call me a liar!"

Fagedaboudit!

McCain's "Actually, I don't know where you got that quote from." is just a straight talking non denial denial.

Like when the press corps asks Dana Perino for the White House's response to the missile attack on the Capital and the Iraqi amphibious invasion of New York City, "I haven't seen those reports".

Or when Senator Bernie Sanders asks AG Freddo if Rove bitch slapped him to fire some uppity AG's and his response is: "I don't remember".

I hope Mr. Are-we-gonna-win-this-time? stepped in it this time.

This is a most excellent and thoughtful article on a vast topic. Thank you GK.

As I play this jazz material weekly with a hot sextet at a club in Marin to less than 20 people- and that would be the pool and dart league, thank you- I can appreciate that the high octane, 200 watt Marshall stack rock-drug is the new hegemon. Ah! The revenge of the electric guitar. And while I feel supremely lucky to have been at the creation to see the Jimmy Page invent heavy metal guitar and see Jimi burn his, it all pales in comparison to that moment in the middle of Django Reinhardt's "Honeysuckle Rose" that change my life.

The early jazz and swing cats were the rock stars of the day. No, paradigm shift: Louis Armstrong was the father of Mic. They had it all- public adulation, sex drugs but just not that 200 watt Marshall stack. Pick up any records by "Four Boys and a Guitar" (the group subsequently known as "The Mills Brothers") and hear it when it was hot and young as any of the early Stones. Play it with passion and energy- like it's gonna explode off the stage- or put the horm down.

WE ARE ELECTING A PRESIDENT. NOT A PRISONER OF WAR.

with a national likability factor of Newt Gingrich, the intellectual, policy heft of Rush Limbaugh, and the political heart of Lincoln Rockwell crossed with Jefferson Davis- is absolutely, fabulously underwhelming. Yes Sarah, Run Sarah! Please run! Run! Run!

Palin is 100% not alone on her stupidity of the 1st Amendment. After all she is just repeating the very same stupidity constantly heard on wing nut radio. Wingnut Amerika embraces the stupefying notion that the 1st Amendment guarantees a right to have whatever they say reported and (more incredibly) that it be accepted by one and all without criticism.

Keep opening your mouth Sara- no Big Government or pointy head bureaucrat will stop you, Honest!; Your game show hostess gig will come.

WTF? Is this guy trying to break into the Daily Show writers guild? This is flabbergastingly stupid. More stupid than Camille Paglia's recent comparison of Shara Palin's speech to Charlie Parker's solos: and oh brother is THAT ever stupid.

No Hypocrisy Gene?! Really!

The modern wing-nut conservative has evolved to this. Listen to any wing-nut and this is what you get. It's how they behave because they believe they are right- about everything.
