to be THE ad which best epitomizes the GOP and neoconjobs.

Like all of the other neocons who take FDR's "walk softly and

carry a big stick" to an allout ridiculous literal interpretation.

Hucks' ad pretty much sums up-by having Chuck Norris as an endorsement-that even if you don't WANT to vote for Huck-Chuck is gonna MAKE you vote for him.

Does anyone else see any paralells here with the current wimpy neocons, victimized by some hatred or bigotry of someone-to try to make thier own biases public mainstream thinking. IOW-"I'm a wimp-so I need a badass,guns, or the military to do my fighting for me."

The problem is that the public is aware by now-that these supposed comic-book heroes have no kryptonite. We have 2 badly managed wars, the economy, the scandals, the corporate defense scandals,quadruple oil prices, Katrina to rightly summarize what the past 7 years is really about.

That is, that the neocons are no more than wannabe badasses dressed up in tights and a superhero costume at a comicbook convention-minus the kryponite.

They are nothing more than mytholigical creations of their own minds.

quiet your mind-it's there.

no cutting or pasting necessary.

NBC/MSNBC is using scabs from AEI, the Heritage Foundation, or the Christian Coalition now.

like most of the neocons on foreign policy. Both want to hide their smoke & mirrors argument behind the guise of "national security".

I used to like Klein-but he has become the ever-shrill whiner-about the blogospere to antiwar people-indicating snarkishly his contempt at having REAL Americans knock him off his pedastal.

Yet his continuance to regurgitate neocon talking points is a pathetic affirmation of lazy journalism combined with a Beltway elitist viewpoints.

As a previous poster noted-I wonder if warcrimes tribunals like those the Nurembourg Trials, would make these propagandist(like Klein,Broder, Kraut) realize thier own roles in this war, FISA,Habeus Corpus..... and thier complicity in thier role to make us all "Good Germans". This based on the constant fear-card of "national security"-which we know the neocons have been lying about since day 1 in office-(secret energy meetings, plans of Iraq drawn up beforehand, Saddam not connected to 911, OBL in Pakistan-not Iraq...)

an editor-I knew I would not be reading it again.

Now Time has gotten Rove-whom Halperin gushingly wrote a book about-a gig there. Halperin probably laid off the factchecking/stats depts once he got there.

Rove, Halperin, Klein........serious writers? Puuuhleeez.

I quit reading them along time ago.

since Klein doesn't know how to ask a Dem anything.

Go get em GG!

And yes, I wrote Stengel also-to denounce Kleins' sheer laziness and contempt for an actual days' investigative work.

We on the left seem to be stupified at the statements which consistently come our of the right-wing mouthpiece.

I just think that they've been getting away with it for 7 years now, so they think they can continue on with the same Rovian strategy. I don't understand why or how it can't seep into the neocon gray matter that the public is onto them. They obviously have no backup plan for getting busted, so they continue the same ruse. I don't think they realize how totally infuriating it is to those people onto the Bush cabal-or how much it insults the intelligence of Americans.

They instead try to hoist new stories upon us-while the public has long ago put cotton in their ears.

into all of what the GOP propaganda is doing.

Kleins' statements on the FISA bill, which he wrote in his article saying essentially-it's all too confusing for me and I'm not an an expert on deciphering this stuff.

To me, that's the equivalent of a "journalist" pulling a Homer Simpson:

"It's just too hard, so I'll think I'll have another Duffs' beer-then take a nap."

It wasn't EVEN an attempt at journalism, propaganda, or stenography.......it was sheer LAZINESS and CONTEMPT for writing.

and missed out on all the turkey.

But thanks for serving up all of the leftover Klein turkey:

Turkey and cranberry sandwiches

turkey tetrazzini

turkey and broccoli casserole

open-faced turkey/gravy sandwiches............

I hope you pick the bone clean-

Get every last bit of meat off of it!

I'm still enjoying it!

Maybe this is the reason for the Klein disinformation story about FISA.

Timewarner, CNN, and many others are probably very nervous about this ruling.

It's starting to make sense now-and why no retraction by TIME.

with the Dems siding with immunity-and it all happens to just go along with the amount of dollars that particular house member had gotten from Telecoms-would that not constitute racketeering charges to be brought (that would be an obvious vote-selloff).
