Oh, by the way, Paul, it's Hankest, no f. That gets too close to Wankfest!
-- Hankest
You are getting dangerously close to a Wankfest yourself.
Is there anything else, or are you done?
-- Hankest
Pretty snotty remark for someone who's been hammering this blog like a hair-splitting Grand Inquisitor.
i thought i was being polite.
-- Hankest
You also appear to think "disingenious" is a word and "hey day" is an expression found in the English language. So I ask you your own question: Is there anything else, or are you done?
i'm a scientist
-- Hankest
I think you left out the word "mad."
But if my memory serves ...
I may be wrong, my memory is about as keen as my spelling.
-- Hankest
You are either extremely stupid or shamelessly disingenuous and extremely stupid.
You're probably familiar with American Standard, manufacturers of fine, high-quality toilet bowls. The Weekly Standard fills them.
Pay no attention to that man behind the cretin.
By the way, love those boots they named after you. I'm sure you look adorable in them, marching around your mother's basement to the strains of "Deutschland uber Alles."
An actual patriot would blow the whistle once and for all on this criminal, fanatical, incompetent regime. Isn't there one single patriot within the Bush Administration who loves this country enough to try to save it?
...is like a guy laughing at his neighbor's toilet overflowing while his own house goes up in flames around him.
Oh, and thanks, Southern Buddhist! Feel free to use it anytime, anywhere.
What an asinine view of the world.
-- --Jack
What an ass, period.
I'm interpreting Goldfarb's words to mean that Article II gives the President "near dictatorial power" in pursuing war once it has been declared. This is true. As Commander-in-Chief, the President calls the shots once war has been declared by Congress, which, if you'll recall, it was.
-- --Jack
As if your remarks weren't ludicrous enough, haven't you heard the news? Your beloved Fuhrer sent out orders to find a "war czar" to take his unforgiveable mess off his hands. Of course, so far no one is delusional and/or suicidal enough to volunteer. Maybe you're exactly the right man for the job.
P.S. When exactly was the "war" on Iraq declared?
There have been administration officials who left and revealed what really goes on inside -- Paul O'Neill, Richard Clarke and, at a lower level, David Kuo and John Dilulio. They were immediately smeared by Bush followers and then more or less rendered irrelevant by the media.
-- GlennGreenwald
O'Neill and Clarke were a lifetime ago (the Bush Administration should be measured in "dog years," don't you agree?) and Jesus's Own Chorus Boys are as easily marginalized by the center and the media as they apparently were by their neocon paymasters.
But I should not have limited my cri de coeur to the White House. My plea goes out to all Republicans in all branches of the government. Every day these fiends remain in power is a step closer to the point of no return for the United States, its Constitution, and its people.
P.S. I haven't seen anyone remark on how delightful you were on Sam Seder's show the other day, so allow me: bravo!
These days everything is a felony, .
-- shooter242
Except, apparently, being an insufferable asshole, since you're still wandering around free.
This means that not only this president has the Constitutional mandate to be commander in chief and to affect foreign policy, but EVERY PRESIDENT does.
-- jgderuvo
Where was their (and your) belief in an unfettered executive from January, 1993 through January, 2001? Not all of us were born yesterday, you know.
Shitter242 speaks on a topic he's an expert on:
Anything else is high hypocrisy.
-- shooter242
Shitter242: a shameless hypocrite who's obviously high!
Kudos to Noron for managing to speak so clearly in spite of Karl Rove's cock in her mouth.
Sorry, but if that had been Chris Matthews in that clip instead of the Noron, I would have made exactly the same wisecrack in exactly the same way. Gender doesn't enter into it at all; neither does a sex act, except as a metaphor.
Various "dead-enders" are just ramping up final acts of desperation in response to their recognition that the end is near for them.
-- Gordon
That would certainly explain things like Cheney's latest delusional rants, today's lead editorial in the Washington Post, and posts like Gordon's.
Right how I think the scales tilt the other way. But maybe that's just me...
-- Valentinian
Rest assured it's not just you.
I cannot comment on the tone and posture of the interview, as I can't view the clip.
-- casual_observer
Then reserve your rather Olympian judgment until you have seen it. To me, the transcript is damning enough -- but when you can actually see and hear the Noron's contempt and hostility, the comments from Think Progress and elsewhere are practically a valentine.
you haven't offered any argument against any substantive item in my comment.
-- casual_observer
"Spin," "bullshit," "bullshit," "over-the-top spin."
Are these examples of your "substantive items"? Did I miss any others?
Grow up.
-- shooter242
You first.
Some have suggested that shooter242 is so intellectually challenged he should be classified as plant life. That is patently unfair and insulting. Plants don't lie.
Getting back to the fascinating discussion of linguistics, I was intrigued to discover that Suzanne Malveaux's surname is French for "bad veal." That would explain the effect her TV appearances have on my digestion.
If you have something I'll be glad to continue.
-- shooter242
I have an exit; please continue through it and don't stop until you reach heavy traffic.
Plants do lie.
-- Paul Rosenberg
Especially the Republican Party plants who troll here.
I stand corrected, even though I think what you're describing is not so much "lying" as merely a kind of botanical transvestism; I don't believe vegetation is capable of moral turpitude.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
