Don't knock Wes!

The guy made Hernandez look like Dick Stuart. In 1972, the Dodgers' "Million Error Infield" would have been multi-million if not for Parker. Garvey at third had fans wearing helmets in the seats behind first base ... then add Bill Russell and Bobby Valentine, as I recall. Ug-lee.

... and Gold Gloves are a joke

Ever since they gave some to Thurman Munson.

"If you liked Bush ...

... you'll love Rudy!" Or Fred, or Mitt, or whatever goofball the GOP offers up. Simple, direct ... all the stuff Democrats aren't. I PRAY they take Westen's advice (and my humble offering)and tag every single statement and ad with this line.

Original article: Gonzales' shame

Dems will grab their ankles yet again

Bet on it. It takes all the resiliency I possess to keep supporting this collection of dickless wonders ... but the alternative is too horrible to consider.

"Democrats in Disarray"

For God's sake, Scherer, why don't you people just make a macro of the phrase and save the keystrokes? On top of that, anything Edwards can do to stop the Hillary madness is welcome by me. Him or the O-Man; I don't care. Anything but Ms. 'Lobbyists Are People Too' with her groundbreaking health care plan: "I'll reward insurers for innovation." And as much as I can't warm up to 'Mudcat,' he's right about some blue states. What a freaking disaster in the making. You can see Hillary's loss coming like Katrina was visible from the moon.

as always, Glenn, you miss the point

Al Gore wore a brown suit once. And John Edwards is rich.

Will the Pope be Catholic? Will a bear ...

Well, you know. This is pathetic, angering, frustrating as hell. Dems wonder why people think they're weak. Not taking your own side in a fight might be one reason. Also questionable is the concept that bombing a bunch of countries makes you 'strong' against terrorism.

Original article: Baby's first lead

How about this?

How about not getting suckered in, all you 'security moms' who voted for President Sociopath in 2004? Wake the hell up and realize the GOP couldn't give less of a shit about kids unless they're still in the fetal stage, and only then to raise money from the rubes. Try taking a look at conservatives' position on regulation and trade. To paraphrase Bill Maher, companies that can do what they want to max profits will make toys out of poison and shit. But you go ahead and believe the GOP is "tough" and "strong" and will "protect" you and your precious offspring. Just make sure you have health insurance ... which of course you might not.

Dear 'Reaction':

See 'Sinnard's' letters. He/she is either a GOP dead-ender or a Naderite jackass. Certainly we all should know that if Democrats kiss corporate ass ten times, and the GOP 100,000 times, they are the same.

I'm halfway through this article ...

And people like Bush, Powell and Rumsfeld should be in prison. At least they will be in hell someday.

Original article: How secure are you?

sure thing, Pags

"The lack of scruple about constitutional guarantees that has been openly flaunted by Vice President Dick Cheney might well have nipped nascent conspiracies in the bud." The fillings in my teeth tell me this is true! Wait until the wiretaps and spying reveal the heinous plan to replace the chocolate jimmies on our children's ice cream with SUPER INTELLIGENT MUSLIM ANTS!

Original article: How secure are you?

and I forgot ...

Islamic radicalism "does indeed threaten the very existence of Western civilization, whose peace and prosperity depend on a complex infrastructure and communications system vulnerable to catastrophic disruption by small bands of ruthless saboteurs." Maybe the same guys who wanted to saw down the Brookly Bridge! I can hear their hacksaws even now: "... squee-squeak, squee-squeak "Allah Akhbar!" squee-squeak, squee-squeak..."

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 07:28 PM

sorry, "Heather'

The Caveman commercials ARE funny. But since most people think so, it's kind of required that you don't because you are so cool. Heather.

where are the usual war defenders?

I know they all read Salon because they infect the comments. No defense of the indefensible? Or are they all making Cheeto runs?

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 10:07 AM

Snowe voted no then yes ...

When it was apparent it wouldn't matter. Another 'moderate' Republican, deeply and unalterably full of shit.

Dear 'Hitlery' (wow is that clever!)

The Dem Congress approval rating blows because they haven't taken on your President on the war. Pretty simple, really. Not because they are "Defeatocrats," "Hitlery" (why can't Democrats be so clever with their phrasing like you guys? Why?)

Wednesday, September 19, 2007 10:26 AM

Notorius:

Understood, but when the Congress passed the funding bill The Idiot vetoed, their rating was massively higher. The fall is due to Democratic poll respondents' disappointment with the subsequent cowardice. Maybe Reid will follow though this time.

Original article: Bush's stairway to paradise

Nov. 7, 2000

The most tragic day in decades. And I'm counting 9-11. I simply can't believe this has befallen our country, but it has. May God save us from more of these people.

Original article: Bush's stairway to paradise

Hey, Elephantman!

Glad to see you pop in with the 'blow jobs ... worse than 250,000 dead in useless war' theme! What else ya got? 'Travelgate'? Didn't that cost $700 billion? No, wait -- that's Bush's war. Sorry.

Original article: Condors vs. the NRA

"How often do we stumble on lead shot?"

I don't know. How often do you eat from a gut pile? Listen, chief: anyone who gets off on blasting animals to death is an asshole. That being said, no one is telling these tough guys they can't kill stuff anymore. Slippery-slope is bullshit, always has been.

Original article: Iraq and roll over

If there's no hope to end it ...

Then make the Republicans 'suck on it,' in the immortal words of Thomas "Six Months From Now" Friedman. Yes, the sociopath would veto any bill with timelines. So what? Keep pushing and make the GOP filibuster for real, and drop this 'we agree it needs 60 votes' crap. Make them actually get up there and say why staying is a great idea. At least make some political points while our troops are dying, and make sure the country knows it's the GOP's fault. Cynical, but they're not coming home until a Democrat takes office, and if it's Hillary, probably not even then.

Pumpkinhead Russert is SUCH a tool ...

"Favorite Bible verse." Who truly gives a rat's ass outside of these fake-piety-pushers like this bloated jackass?

Thursday, September 27, 2007 07:04 PM

I'm with you, 'had enough'

But I'll bet 'Elephantman' will come up with something to make us all amazed.
