Original article: Larry Craig is still guilty

One Day This Too Will Come To Pass

Even though several have blogged saying they had sex with Larry Craig, no 'hard' evidence has surfaced. That could change now that he's now only a mere notorious celebrity. If he is the closeted gay as so many have eluded, he'll be caught ala George Michael and dragged out for public condemnation again.

Once he is finally outed he can be fully condemned for his anti-gay votes and hate speech. Then he and his family have to live with that. His own karma will bite him in the ass if he continues his ways.

What's A Few Thousand Less

I'm sure her government salary just barely keeps her in Donna Karan pantsuits and haircuts.

I still don't understand the whys and wherefors of this Constitutional dilema but it will be the ultimate case of "if they want it, they'll get it."

I say Caroline Kennedy for Hillary's senate seat. Who cares if she's qualified? She and pony Macaroni played on the White House lawn which makes her more qualified than W ever was!

And They'll All Get Away WIth It

George Whore Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld probably used the torture pictures as porn. The only thing that could get Rumsfeld hot and bothered.......

And neither the Senate, nor Congress, nor Mr. Obama is going to do a damn thing about it! These bastards will be walking around free, on the boards of companies and maybe even getting some good speaker circut money. They should all be arrested and sent to Germany for Crimes Against Humanity but no one in our government has the balls to do it.

Original article: Shoe-thrower tortured?

American Style All the Way!

Poor brave reporter, doing what the rest of the Arab world wanted to do but never got the chance. This is the Bush 'democracy in action' if this is true. This will be his legacy in the hellhole he unleashed.

Probably Very Secure

A handful of reporters in a room with the pres of the US and the Iraqi puppet, I mean Prime Minister, I'm sure they frisked down and ran metal detectors all over the place. Besides being an appropos insult, he probably only had his shoes to throw. He is a hero and should be given a parade instead of house arrest or worse.

"It's amazing how quickly you can get through $350 billion,"

Especially when you've already set up a pattern of theiving, lying and deceiving!

Dennis Kucinich for Speaker of the House! Nancy Pelosi continues to be worthless as is Harry Reid and the rest of the Dems. If I could afford her district, I'd move there just so I could help vote her out.

They'll Be Used Against US

Blackwater is going to be used as a private army against the American citizenry unless Mr. Obama revokes their business charter. Why else would they be trying to expand their US base of operations? Mr. Cheney would have no problem making them his Pratorian Guard. Maybe he still can once he receives his war dividend from Haliburton......

A Little Pork Can Go A Long Way

As much as I'd like to, don't write off old Joe so quickly. He was re-elected because of all the pork he brings to the State of Connecticut, especially with those Sub bases. If he can manage to keep them open and keep some of the pork coming during a down economy, he can bounce back.

Kissing christian Ass

This is one of those moments when the Dems show their true colors. This is why I can happily say with a clear conscience that I voted for Cynthia McKinney. The hypocracy of the 'we need your vote, we're all in it together' of the last campaign was once again bound to surface when payback time hits. You owe christians, Mr. Obama, but you also OWE a lot of gays too. Are you going to screw gays over because you can? Are gays going to be your new targets? I had a coworker who listened to this man's sermons and books on tape non-stop. Rick Warren's like the rest, after control, after his own empire. Mr Obama is like more of the same. No change here. Move along people!

Who Will Have $ by 5AM

Thanks to her and Senators like her, the economy has tanked and the bars will probably be empty by 3 because no one has money to keep partying, unless you're a Senator married to a war profiteer like our Dianne!

Quid Pro Quo

It is my own humble opinion but it's still ass kissing and payback as usual for big campaign supporters.

What's in it for Obama: He gives Warren some publicity and gets a break on the changes he wants to make to abortion policy.

What's in it for Warren: Obama's support when the Prop 8 lawsuits force the IRS to look at his church's political activities. If Warren violated the laws for Prop 8, he can raise the legal question for the right- did he also violate them for Obama? It's all about his ability to cash in and keep his tax exempt status!

Whose Civil Rights Matter More?

I can agree to disagree on who gets money and who doesn't, what programs need to be cut and what don't. Warren is a preacher who used his position to conspire to pass a Constitutional Amendment restricting the rights of American citizens!

I agree with MomFromTexas in her Huffington Post offering: "O.K. I first started commenting on this subject, by saying that I didn't agree with the outrage, but I've been "listening" to all of you for a couple of hours now, and I admit that I am not a lesbian woman, who has just had her marriage nullified by Prop 8 and listened to a California pastor (Warren) support that happening. I don't know how it feels to be discriminated against because of my sexual preference. I've asked myself, "If it was 1964, and a President, who had been a civil rights' lawyer, as Obama has been, and ran on a platform of equal opportunity for everyone, as Obama has, was being inaugurated and chose a segregationist minister from the Deep South to give the opening prayer at the inauguration, how would I feel? If that minister had gotten on T.V. and professed the importance of Crowe, how would I feel." And I admit, I'd be outraged."
