@LWM

Gee, LWM, way to co-operate with Glenns request!

Man, keep that up and I'll be ashamed to be your sockpuppet.

Which, as far as I know, I still am. Right, Buckyl?

@LWM

Nice thing about you, pal, is that you never try to get the last word in, no matter what, any way you can. That can really screw up a thread.

Sunday, April 6, 2008 05:37 PM

@LWM

This is not even my last word on the matter.

-- L.W.M.

That's the spirit, LWM, That's the spirit!

The Merdes Touch

Not only do the Bush/Cheney/Rove crowd seem able to corrupt everything and everyone they touch; they seem able to do it VERY fast.

david

I have been amazed by that for years! And they corrupt 'em, as you note, so damn fast and completely!

Cokie is right.

She's just a little mispoken, or she mis-interpreted the data.

Americans are frightened of the war ending. And they are scared stiff of the troops coming home.

Responsible plan

The responsible plan to end the war is to vote for Obama. If Obama wins, watch how fast the War On Iraq will be fashioned into a weight to put around his (Obama's) neck. Elephantman and Shooter will be here waving peace signs, and crying over detainees.

Look, remember all those "findings" and "legal memorandums" from Gonzales and Yoo the confuct of the war is based on? Okay, does Obama just say: "Continue on, with those in effect" or does he get his AG to formulate new memos?

When Obama is elected, suddenly the War On Iraq will be the worst thing that ever happened. And the domestic surveillance? Oh, won't they love giving those powers to Obama.

For Christ's sake, America's race hatred can work in our favor this time, why not use it?

Attempting Familiarity

Many people regard Glenn as a grossly hyperpartisan and one-sided broker - a reliable source of heat, not of truth or balance.

Some people think he's teh hot. Hot, hot, hot!

Gosh, Proxy, but you are a particularly odious little macher. And such philosophy! Drek auf dem teller

That's what I love about 9-11

So here's this tremendous terrorist attack which takes place on a clear day (cause you can see forever then) in the middle of the biggest city in a country with the most advanced forensic technology, and the most highly developed forensic powers in the world, and after this many years, we still don't know enough about it to have any but fruitless, bootless discussions.

Just shows what quick action at the crime scene can do. It means everything to success.

Tuesday, April 8, 2008 12:12 PM

And...

...it's pretty obvious that public officials feel free to use, and keep using the "fantasy 9-11" in their heads as a basis for policy. Or are facets of the cinematic treatment of 9-11 leaking back into the discourse, having become fact?

Was that "call from the safe house" in the film version?

Jane Who?

I'm working on my letter to Jane Hampshire at Firedoglake now.

When did she start working there?

Thanks

Thank you, Glenn, for all the writing you do. And all the work and thought which goes into it. Thanks for everything.

Goldbugs are crawling all over me! I have Dollerium Tremens!

@Proxy War

But hey; I'm happy to take all the ad-homs you people can muster (and give back in kind), because, with the greatest of respect, I hold most of your opinions (and many of your personalities) in absolute contempt.

-- Proximity Warning

So tell us, Proximity, (if that is your real name) why don't you tell us how your opinions have elevated you to the rarified strata from which you generously dispenese your contempt?

Jeez man, if you can't even sign your name to what you write, I think it might be yourself you hold in contempt.

Tell us, Proxy, of these accomplishments which allow you to hold others in contempt. Why don't you start by telling us your name?

There is no one here to punch your lights out or ban you. Does there need to be

oomex

Are you volunteering for the job, tough guy? I hope you meaqn in a boxing ring, rather than a forum which requires expressing yourself in writing. You might have a chance there.

A rhetorical TKO is way beyond you, fella.

@LWM

Once again I ask: "What am I, chopped liver"? No, don't mention me. Well, lemme tell you something, pal, I don't care what bucky1 says, I am through being your sock-puppet! No more! I quit!

I'm tired of toeing the line for a heel like you, darn it.

Bucky1, could you help me to escape my sock-puppetry?

Or at least tell me how LWM managed to do it? Did I call him up and give him my password? I don't remember doing that.

Thursday, April 10, 2008 02:23 PM

A real Boehner!

Yes, that's the ticket for sure! Let's forget all about that terrorism stuff, and get back to lowering taxes! And when it comes to economic policy, who better to lead us than John "Wet Start" McCain?

@LWM

LWM, please release me, let me go! I don't love you any more! Even you will concede that living a lie is a sin? Release me, and let me post again.

Please remember LWM, according to bucky1 I am your sock-puppet. He has never retracted, let alone apologised for, this accusation, and so I can only plead with you.

Right, bucky1, my lad?

You can't even face up to that little bit of shit-slinging, and you expect people here to take you seriously? Not gonna happen, kid, not gonna happen.
