Is anyone paying attention how the mainstream media is making this empty vessel of a man the heir apparent to the candidate "you'd like to have a beer with"? Come on!

The man that Nixon called 'dumb', and whose true fame and fortune has been playing the head of a prosecution team in a show that glorifies and celebrates a system that incarcerates more human beings per capita then any other 'justice' system IN THE WORLD, is being packaged as the Republican's great white hope.

Ah..who the hell cares... As long as the Republican party runs away from the truly viable in Ron Paul and the anti-war Republican Chuck Hagel, I shouldn't worry so much when a sleaze-merchant like Fred Thompson throws his gen-u-ine Stetson cowboy hat into the ring.

This man is an empty suit to be filled with one liners and platitudes. Seriously, does anyone know Fred Thompson? We don't even know what is his favorite sick-ass sexual deviency! Maybe we should ask his teen-aged wife?

In the meantime, we'll see lots of well packaged, good ol' Fred Thompson, waving to the crowd, kissing babies, and jumpin' into his pick-up truck.... (to drive to his Jaguar)...

Yeah, but will the new Senator be a mean spirited, hypocritical, self loathing closeted gay man? If not... what perversity will this new senator embody?... after all, the article does say his replacement will be a Republican.

It's hard to fight a cancer when you work for a cancer.

Bush said of Gonzales that he “a man of integrity, decency and principle.”. Integrity, decency and principle to what? Certainly not the laws of the land, the constitution or to the concept and rules of civil rights. Certainly not in sworn testimony to congress. His fidelity has only been to George W. Bush, and that is what the president refers to when he says that Gonzales is “a man of integrity, decency and principle.”.

Oh.... but let us not forget Michael Vick. While he has not invaded and destroyed a defenseless country on the other side of the world, killed half a million people, and drained the treasury of sums beyond comprehension, he did sponsor a dog fighting business.

While Michael Vick had nothing to do with the problems, death and continued displacement of the victims of Catrina, he did gamble on dog fighting.

So...let's get Michael Vick! Someone needs to build a really big cross... and we can nail him to it. And then we will raise the cross, whilst playing "Hail to the Chief" for all across the land to see him slowly bleed to death.

The amount of people that are responsible for creating the hack for sale... is such that unless they are all happy with the deal that they are getting, it will not remain a secret for long....

We are Rome at the end of Rome. Hail to the thieves!

You know you're fucked when the Ambassador to the country you are occupying in an illegal war refers to elements of the horrible situation as "existential issues"....

My goodness. Really. Worse yet, this is part of his dog ate the homework excuse as to why there is no report on the mess that he is presiding over.

At what point can we begin legal proceedings against the major actors in this tragedy?

DEMS: RE-ELECT GORE '08

REPUKES: Ignorance is Strength

Hey now... but George Bush, why jist the other day said that he said that Maliki was a "good guy"... so... what are you trying to say? That the Bushists are lying? That they are telling stories that are contrary to the actual intelligence? How is that possible? Why, if that were true, are they still in office?

Working our way towards spending a trillion dollars on an illegal war... and we cannot afford armor for the overpriced vehicles we already have? Somebody is stealing all the money this war is costing... since it obviously isn't being spent on troop safety. Billions of dollars being spent each month... and we can't uparmor 3500 vehicles in a year. By the way, this can only prove that the surge is not and can never work....as we do not have a functioning machine as our military. Only pirates and profiteers stealing from the taxpayers and living off the blood of our soldiers. Thanks George. You really fucked up.

Funny how the asshole junta of the Bush administration would blab on and on about the rule of law and a nation of laws etc.... and then ignore any and all laws that didn't suit their own ambitions of totalitarian government. It was unassailable when they controlled all three branches of government... but now that they only control two... well... they may never face the firing squad music that they should.... but since they removed the need to follow laws... I should be happy to put them all in a canvas sack and beat them with a baseball bat......
