  • Someone should tell Claire McCaskill (for example) that if I'd wanted to vote FOR and give money TO someone who would EXPAND George Bush's warrantless wiretapping . . .

    [Read the article: Rolling over, again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I would have given money TO and voted FOR Jim-fucking-Talent. It won't happen again . . . fool me once shame on you . . . fool me twice . . . WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN!!

  • As a recognized minion of Satan, Rudy knows damn well that he's going to burn in Hell, along with his slut wife (#3).

    You might as well be asking Tony Soprano if he thinks he's a good Catholic . . . whatever that may be these days.

  • Are you telling me that 30% of Americans are

    jug-eared, squinty-eyed, draft-dodgin', drunk-drivin', coke-snorting', lyin',. thievin' IMBECILES?????

    Seems hard to believe . . . but it would explain a lot of things I see every day.

  • Mortgage? MORTGAGE???

    Nah . . . I think George paid cash for his place . . . or one of his Dad's friends or somebody . . . who can remember those kinda details??

  • In order for Powell to speak out on the Iraq War, he would need to find the manhood that has been placed in escrow for at least the last six years.

    [Read the article: Will the real Colin Powell stand up?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Personally, I believe Powell has been a lying shill for The Man ever since he investigated claims of an incident at a little village called My Lai. When Powell was through with HIS investigation, he found nothing wrong had occurred.

    Unbeknownst to Powell, a separate complaint had been made, and the other guy actually did HIS job.

    If you're waiting for Powell to step up - don't hold your breath.

  • The predominate function of "sweat" is to cool the body. In humans, especially, with their oversized brains . . .

    [Read the article: Never let them see you sweat]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    they need to sweat a WHOLE LOT to keep the processor humming.

    Bush . . . not so much.

    That's why he don't sweat in the heat.

  • What insufferable impudence on Edwards' part: to be angry!!

    [Read the article: Here come those "angry" Democrats again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    When we have SO MUCH to be thankful about:

    the Military Commissions Act, warrantless wiretapping, war in Iraq and Afghanistan, disaster brewing in Pakistan, a planned strike against Iran, hurricane season coming on, global warming, the extinction of the Yangtze dolphin, mules foaling, the Yankees trying for the wild-card slot, Scooter Libby's commutation, 50 million uninsured Americans in the richest nation on earth, a moron in the White House, with an asshole as VEEP . . . why would anyone be angry . . . being ANGRY is just so filled with negativity . . .

  • Note to: Garry Owen

    In my case it was the 6'0" red-haired 17 bully who tried to suckerpunch me during a 4-square game. When I ducked my head, he hit me square on top of the skull, and you could hear each of at least 17 of the 27 bones in his right hand crackling like corn sheaves.

    They never did get his hand screwed together quite right.

  • Why does anyone give a shit what Camille Paglia sez about anything?

    [Read the article: Art movies: R.I.P.]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Like she knows about rock 'n roll? Or movies? Because she serves up warmed-over homilies from the post-menopausal-hot chick-department?

    Why not ask Madonna? Or Tipper Gore? Somebody with some credibility . . .

  • Elephantman: Never a Democrat; always an asshole.

    [Read the article: Number of the day]

    As for you Tiberius, I'd really like him better if he'd ever had a blow job, instead of just giving them to Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld and all the other neocon nancy-boys he allowed to destroy our nation's stature around the world.

    The most incompetent and incurious of leaders, and the one most likely to filter quickly top the bottom of the presidential honors list.

    Vacation -- it's a way of life for a guy who has never done anhonest days' work in his privileged life as preppie, frat-boy, cheerleader, failed businessman, and worst president in history.

  • Another [more cynical] reason for doing it NOW. Congress is in recess.

    [Read the article: Why did Gonzales resign?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The next Attorney General - if he/she is to be confirmed by the Senate - will have to face an inquisition the likes of which we have not seen in a generation or two.

    The goddam Democrats might even expect that anyone seeking confirmation as Attorney General might have to promise - under oath - to ENFORCE THE LAW. Which would result in Bush's impeachment and indictment for violations of Title 50 US Code, Chapter 36, Subchapter 1, Sections 1800 et seq., among other crimes to notable and numerous to elucidate herein.

    Far better to settle for a recess appointment while Congress is ON FUCKING VACATION.

  • It's not just her dumbitude, which is considerable.

    [Read the article: Miss dumb blond USA?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Its also the perfection of her image, her hair, her lip gloss, and then the total absence of spark in her eyes, "black eyes, like a doll's eyes".

    And, she's probably a Republican, which explains a lot about why we're in Iraq and George Bush has yet to be impeached, removed, indicted, tried and convicted, and imprisoned for the rest of his unnatural life.

  • David Addington is the fat, smug, asshole who made that noxious comment.

    [Read the article: "One bomb away"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    He is also the lawyer responsible for, along with John Fuck Yoo and the Horse Yoo Rode In On Yoo, for the most egregious legal memoranda authorizing torture, illegal wiretapping, extraordinary renditions, and generally all the un-American thug-like actions of our government over the last 6+ years.

    Addington - along with Yoo - needs to be classified as an "aider of unlawful enemy combatants" - flown to Gitmo with head in a black burlap sack, thrown in a cell - and left there forever to rot without recourse to habeas (another of his noxious theories).

    These folk are traitors and betrayers of all that America should stand for.

  • Is today too early to begin impeachment of this ignorant assclown?

    [Read the article: Bush on Iraq: "We're kicking ass"]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Excuse me, Mr. Former-cheerleader-draft-dodger-drunk-driver-coke-snorter-insider-trader-AWOL-punk, but you never kicked ass in your life. Or is that going to be your big story to tell after you're out of office and on the lecture circuit replenishing the old coffers?

    Are you gonna be telling everyone how you kicked ass in Iraq and too fucking bad about the 650,000+ dead Iraqis and the 4,000 dead GI's . . . but you sure kicked ass? Is that your schtick, Mr. President??

  • Good luck, Larry, on getting that plea reversed.

    [Read the article: Craig to try to take back plea]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Way I understand it - in the pertinent case law, you basically have to prove you are illiterate or a non-English speaker in order to get a Mulligan once you plead guilty.

    Larry Craig, hypocrite and convicted criminal, is a member of the United States Senate, and as such, voted to confirm Justices Roberts and Alito.

    We should take a look at their opinions in cases where misfeasors have attempted to withdraw pleas and game the system.

  • Petraeus . . . is that Latin for petroleum whore??

    Cause he sure likes to parade that chestful of sparkly medals in front of Congress, but I get the feeling his mind is elsewhere and he's only doing it for the money.

  • PS for saintzac: We're not leaving. Ever.

    We've got over 700+ military bases in 130 countries.

    We're bulding a huge base in Iraq just 4 miles from the Iranian border. We're building the biggest embassy/consular facility on the planet outside Baghdad. So we're not leaving . . . until the petroleum runs out.

    And then, we'll be gone, solid gone.
