First articulated by ronnie ray-gun's fat fascist blob of an attorney general, Ed "the grease" Meese: "they wouldn't arrest them if they weren't guilty". I wish I were making that up. This was from the highest law enforcement officer in America, and it pretty much sums up the rethug theory of jurisprudence, which turns "innocent until proven guilty" on its head. These bastards want a police state, and we're well on our way. November is our chance to turn the train around before the Bridge on the River Kwai scene. Blooey. Bye, Constitution. The Bill of Rights is already in shreds. It's up to us to reassert those rights that were supposed to be "self-evident". Not to these flaming fascists.

No mention of "Obama's baby mama", the biggest dustup of the week? No sexism there? McLame will weaken, but we have to keep calling them on every lie, every time. thanks, Joan.

yes, there are enlightened people in Tennessee. I know some of them; I do business with Nashville, and have friends scattered throughout the state. But it was part of the Confederacy, and still bears the stains. There are more crackers than there is cheese, sorry to say. Defend your state, or the south, but watch how it votes. Lots of folks down there think the wrong side won the Civil War. Don't lie to me, or to yourself. I ran a bar in the Ozarks for a year. It'd scare you white if you weren't already. Jim Crow ain't dead. He ain't even on life support. That's the God's truth of it, John. I wish it weren't true.

if ashcroft is the top of the curve, god knows where the bottom is. these bastards want a police state, preferably a thinly disguised theocracy. Screw 'em.

this is not a paen to the mainstream media, fuckwad. this is forbearance, some sense of propriety, and a modicum of class. the ass part you have down good and proper. GFY.

takes a real man to pummel a cadaver. Mr. Calhoun is right. We've no shame. I stand second to none in my contempt for the media (and our complicity in that), but that's not the point. When you envisioned my bulging red eyeballs, did you imagine my two middle fingers at their maximum extension? This being summer, may life bring you, Joe the Ho, a watermelon suppository. Karma, bucko.

Hey, gang, let's start pissing in jars and save it all up so we can christen the graves of all the public figures we hate. That's gonna help progressive causes. It's gonna take a whole lotta urinatin' to save the nation. Why wait 'til they die? we can hate 'em and piss on 'em right here and now. Start drinking a lot of water. It's going to require oceans of vitriol, a yellow river of contempt, to wash away the sins of everyone who's not as filled with virtue as we are. Right, Joe? And Amy Goodman has the same chance of hosting MTP as Raff Nadir did of being preznit. And I watch Amy several nights a week. She's the un-Katie Kouric, and I admire that. Piss on Katie. PIss on CBS. Just get pissed, and stay pissed. It's a movement. Well, more an evacuation, but the same general drift. Are you assholes still in jr. high? Sure reads that way. love, jeff

flush yourself, john. the closest I've come to a meltdown today was grilled cheese at lunch. self righteousness is just as ugly on the left side of the spectrum as it is on the right. Russert was human, now he's dead. You children want to dance on his grave before he's even buried. this does not mean we revere him, or any of the msm chumps (many of whom are far worse). Your too fookin' thick to get it. A pity it's not like the old days when the John was outside. It's still full of shit. For the record, I never watch main stream teevee news and haven't for a decade, at least. the only exception is when there's an event only available there- like that pitiful "debate" series with Hillary and Barack and Georgie Snuffleupagus and the rest of the media whores. Heeeeeere's Johnny.

Hillary's own ineptitude in choosing a campaign team and running a campaign strategy doomed her, not meanies and weenies on tee vee. It was her call to blow off the caucus states. Why, she'd certainly be crowned by Stupid Tuesday! Ooops. Obama knew the rules, planned accordingly, and beat her, straight up. If you want to perpetuate the pity party, fine. No one gives a shit. There's an election to win. Or lose. And it's not about genitalia.

Deal. Provided, of course, you don't start coddling republikans. I can't brook that. Let the primary season wounds heal; for cripes sake, my candidate couldn't get arrested except for his haircut. Time to put McLame square in the sight and squeeze off a few rounds, to borrow some phraseology from those stalwart Murkan patriots in the NRA. Or is it the KKK? I get 'em confused. So do they. jeff.

your mongrel got whipped, petunia. yeah, we need Obama and Louise hurtling off into space for no reason other than blind obstinacy. Hillary has more bags than Paris Hilton on a world tour. She's the only shrew who can poison the stew, bring out all the crackers and fundies who hate the Clintons with the heat of a thousand cans of sterno. She would make a great Majority Leader in the Senate, where Harry "oscar meyer" Reid is beyond milquetoast. But vee pee? Pure unadulterated albatross. Oh, wait. Very adulterated. We'd hear Monica and Whitewater and Vince Foster and the whole ninties carload of fascist crap. Now Smit the Shit ain't Thelma or Louise. She ain't gonna screw Brad Pitt; she'd rather screw the country. Get over yourself.
