"I'll have the sausage, please." "How much for two toppings?"
[Read the article: Next time, try Domino's]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Well, I'm disappointed in Salon's posters. Here are the questions they could have been asking...
* Did the aptly named Randy have only one "masseuse" come over at a time, or did he sometimes order-in tag teams?
* Were the delivery girls "specialists?" Did they arrive with a bag full of toys?
* Were they always "girls?"
* Were they dressed in SS uniforms?
* Did he put any of this on Uncle Sugar's credit card?
Has anyone done an FOIA for his travel records to see if he availed himself of midnight "snacks" while on the road, at taxpayers' expense?

Death to the infidels!
[Read the article: Poor, poor Gonzales]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]As Bill Maher has so ably pointed out in the virtual pages of Salon, if 'Beto really wanted to stamp out "crime, terrorism and child porn," he would have hired someone who actually knew something about case law, investigations, court procedure and the like. Instead, he has seeded the Justice Department with Christian Reconstructionist rubes who are trying to make a case that death by stoning for adultery or homosexuality is Constitutional. Hell, Thomas, Scalia or Roberts would even be likely to give them a hearing on the merits.
Nice to see that since the former U.S. Attorneys from West Virgina and KC MO have weighed in and incremented the cashiered octet, we now have a minyan. They can say kaddish together for those dead souls at the WH and the DOJ.

Yes! Still promoting Jane Fonda.
[Read the article: The joys of the Jane Fonda junket]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It was hard to believe that every Salon reader who had weighed in actually "got it" regarding the Colbert appearance by Fonda. It was, that is, until I at last reached the final letter to the editor. There is was. A doofus of the first order, the sort who put Bush in power (there were five such, on the Supremes, of course).
Jack Kennedy probably benefited from dead Chicago voters in 1960. Nixon probably counterbalanced with equally deceased downstate Illinois voters in that election. Gore had no such equalizer when the Madwoman of Tallahassee helped steal the whole enchilada in 2000, disenfranchising tens of thousands of African Americans even before they got to the polls, then piling many thousands more legitimate, cast but uncounted votes on trash heaps.
Fonda, though most of the "Report" interaction was probably scripted, did herself as well as any guest of the formidable Colbert's ever has. (Eleanor Holmes Norton was recently a no-nonsense grandma who truly and awesomely deflated Stephen's cocksure persona.)
Was Jane a "traitor?" Give us a break. She said what needed to be said during that, the Democrats' war, just as she's saying the same to the Loyal Bushies four decades later.
By the way, I was old enough to vote in '60 and to have spent two years in Vietnam in the next decade, through Tet in fact.
Give it a rest, Fondaphobes.

I've got your deletion right here!
[Read the article: The secret Iraq documents my 8-year-old found]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]"Its worst miscalculation was probably dissolving the Iraqi military on May 16, 2003, which jump-started the insurgency by sending 400,000 trained soldiers into the streets without jobs."
Actually, those 400,000 trained soldiers were sent home with their weapons, mostly Kalishnikovs.
Um, here you are. An unemployed soldier. A family to support. No food on the table. And there's that AK-47 propped up against the bedroom wall.
What to do? What to do?

Up on de porch wif Massa
[Read the article: All aboard the Condi Mobile!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So Larry Sabato, usually given to more thoughtful statements, thinks Condi is perceived as “…highly articulate, she seems more intelligent than the president."
Granted, those familiar with farm animals are aware that they also seem more intelligent than the president. But Ms. “Mushroom cloud” has this going for her, of course.
Her supporters have had such a cross to bear: "We have had to remove our contact form due to the constant abuse and threats that we were receiving daily from the peaceful and tolerant Democrats, Liberals, Communists, Socialists, Muslims and the other followers of Hillary Clinton and Islam."
"Oh, yes. And the space aliens. Let us not forget the space aliens." “Constant abuse and threats.”
Condi, who made her rep based on her supposed knowledge of the Soviet Union/Russia and her connections with the Hoover Institution, is as responsible as anyone for getting us into this damned war. She regularly demonstrated she was clueless when it came to the Middle East. Moreover, there is no reason to believe anyone at Hoover had any useful understanding of what was happening in the Soviet Union and she and her colleagues helped precipitate the mess in which that country is now mired.
She’ll go back to Chevron, Charles Schwab and J.P. Morgan. She’ll go back to adding to the ranks of race traitors such as Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele at Hoover.
And meanwhile, her loyal supporters will be contesting the authenticity, the “street creds” of Barack Obama.
