Hopefully, the candidates will understand what this means and will make arrangements to be there.

You mentioned LBJ a few posts ago.

Have you ever been there?

Oh, Mona!

You are forgiven.

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 09:43 PM

Oh, Mona!

"Jebbie: My sins are many and the deepest crimson, but for what am I forgiven this time?"

Nothing specific but I felt like forgiving someone and you fit the bill. Maybe someone will forgive me someday in a like manner.

I gotta SCREAM!!!

Taking Leiberman's Super Status away should have been a no-brainer since he's no longer a Democrat and has not been considering himself a Democrat since he got his sorry ass kicked by Ned Lamont. The Demo Party leadership should be horsewhipped for allowing that sonofabitch to occupy any Majority Seat on any committee. If he wants a committee assignment, much less a Chairmanship, let him kiss some GOP ass and let them spend their allotment on him.

Sheesh.

Gannon/Schmannon

Only half of him made it through the semen strainer.

He's a half-wit.

In a nutshell

No reporter who isn't considered "friendly" is going to get an invite to do an interview at Camp David. That's an area which is totally and completely controlled by the President and no one who isn't wanted there will be found there.

Any interview of any President done at Camp David should be subject to scrutiny.

PM is right

"They do, and when we leave, they will cast it as a victory for them and the Islamic ascendancy in much the same way it was when the Soviets withdrew from Afghanistan.

It is you who are ignorant - pig-ignorant- of the basics of this situation." -- Proximity Warning

Yes, when we leave Iraq, our enemies will cast it as a victory for them, just as many of us predicted would happen BEFORE Bush made the horrendous mistake of invading and occupying that country. The real kicker is that 99.9 percent of those we now call enemies in Iraq were NOT our enemies until we started killing and maiming them in wholesale numbers.

Just remember, PM, when it happens, that it wasn't necessary and the fact that our country has lost many lives, suffereed many deabilitating injuries, and much honor and prestige is the fault of no one other than those warmongers who supported Bush and his illegal, immoral war on the Iraqi people.

Sooner or later, he and you will pay.

Enjoy.

"*they* shouldn't take federal money in the first place." -- jonkeer

Don't the people of Berkley pay federal taxes?

Since when is any money "federal" money? Last I knew, the funds that the government spends belong to the people. Aren't citizens of Berkley people or are they like corporations?

If the latter, they should immediately be afforded amnesty and thanked (ie: paid well) for their service. If we can't give them amnesty, we won't be able to count on them in the future.

According to Heritage.Org,

"Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) has crafted a conservative agenda for the 2008 session consisting of 10 legislative ideas that he and his conservative allies in the Senate will force debate on this year."

However, according to Heritage's own doomsday clock, we only have about 4 hours left.

Why is DeMint wasting his time drawing up plans for a period of time which won't happen?

There go da Judge

There go da Judge

Anyone who would wear fishnets on a casual night out clubbin doesn't have enough good taste to be a Judge.

Why, that's almost as bad as wearing white after Labor Day.

"......It appears I'm already referring to HRC in the past tense. Like I said, it was her's to lose."

Are you sure you're in the correct thread? With all due respect, I really don't see any connection whatsoever to what you wrote and what Glenn wrote.

It's quite possible

that McCain and/or his handlers are extremely sensitive to this sort of allegation simply becuase it was almost identical activity on the part of John McCain which earned him his inclusion in the group now called The Keating Five.

In the Keating case, it turned out that McCain had taken advantage of Keating's largess by utilizing the Keating jet and the Keating vacation hideaway in the Bahamas while at the same time applying pressure on federal banking regulators on Keating's behalf.

John seems to have a problem with this sort of thing and the absolutely last thing the GOP wants now is for its presumptive nominee to get swamped in questions of propriety - especially since they've sold him as the Second Coming of Mr. Clean.

Google the Keating case and you'll see immediately the close comparison to this situation involving the FCC.

"have neither the necessary, ahem, directional apparatus, nor the desire for, a 'pissing contest'."

If I was 20 years younger and unmarried, I'd loan you mine, Darlin.

Just don't tell Mona.
