I don't make seven or eight figures, but David Broder speaks for me and plenty of others in the Greatest Generation.

-- Jake007

Especially when he makes that girgling sound in the back of his throat when he's chugging the Metamucil.

Jake, if you qualify as a member of the Greatest Anything, they must be grading on the curve.

I'd forgotten how hilariously funny Ashcroft could be.

A few helpful tips for you:

1) Try to make some token attempt to address the topic we're discussing. Reading Glenn's post usually offers some clues as to what that might be.

2) The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of RIghts make it pretty damn clear that this country was never intended as a theocracy. You might even say our motto is "No kings, NOT EVEN Jesus."

3) Driving a Hyundai does not make you a Korean War vet.

Always glad to help a raving imbecile.

"No King by Jesus" (look it up).

-- Jake007

I looked it up on Amazon.com. No results. Are you sure you're not thinking of "Hints by Heloise"?

Or can't you even type your own bullshit correctly?

I'm sure Broder has encountered many ordinary, salt-of-the earth American people at his good friend Karl Rove's dinner table. They're used as stuffing in the quail.

Funny, I didn't notice him among the potential nominees at the Democratic candidates' debate. Will he be a write-in?

RealName, get some help. You sound clinically depressed as much as politically misguided and intellectually compromised.

The WSJ editorial staff are "reporters"?!?!?

-- Arne Langsetmo

I hope this doesn't come as too great a shock to you, but Elephantman is very, very, very stupid.

You're surprised he doesn't know the difference between editorial opinion and news reporting? I'm surprised he manages to maneuver the correct end of his thumb into his mouth.

I was trying to clear up the authorship of "The House I Live In," and just happened to mention "Strange Fruit" as an even more famous work by Meeropol/Allen.

But since you brought it up, Lady Day didn't just sing "Strange Fruit" -- she collaborated on it.

The poem is by Abel Meeropol (who also wrote "Strange Fruit") under the pen name Lewis Allen. It was set to music by Earl Robinson and sung most famously by Frank Sinatra in an Oscar-winning 1945 short film sponsored by the Anti-Defamation League of the B'Nai Brith.

Lest Salon become just another screeching blog ...

See not everyone has spent the morning sucking the liberal tailpipe. ...

Thank you for your attention and re now return you to our regularly scheduled dickwaving mob.

-- RealName

Obviously, if we want to avoid "just another screeching blog" you must be firmly dis-invited from posting here.

How is it you get away with statement such as and I quote "With overwhelming evidence of guilt" without providing any?

-- RealName

I actually think that Delay is being railroaded ... Wolfowitz is, beyond any doubt, being railroaded.

-- Elephantman

Where is RealName when Elephantman really needs him?

If Cho Seung Hui had simply made a big show of joining the Federalist Society or signing on to PNAC before killing all those people, the neocons would be carving his face onto Mount Rushmore as we speak.

Howard Kurtz: If John Harris, Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen and Roger Simon are longtime Republican operatives, somehow it's escaped my notice.

-- GlennGreenwald

I have to wonder if it also somehow escaped Howie's notice that he's married to a longtime Republican operative.

Has Olbermann said anything positive about Bush?

-- shooter242

While we're on the subject, has Olbermann said anything positive about terminal cancer? The Unibomber? Termite infestations? Clearly he isn't fair and balanced.

Unless you can find something nice and respectful to say about the alligator who's chewing off your leg, you must be a vicious partisan.

I'd happily start a movement to make that happen.

Buster, you couldn't start a bowel movement with a battalion of Fleet's enemas under your command.

If they had been digging on al queda and making us aware of what was going on it could have been stopped and then Iraq might never have happened.

No one this stupid could operate a computer or even survive a day without a team of bodyguards, so I must once again conclude that you are consciously, willfully full of shit.

Stupid

So now you want to limit people who have political connections to participate in politics.

Stop whining.

How brave and generous of you to take time out to post. You and yours must be so busy preparing your bunker for the coming apocalypse. Regards to Ms. Braun.

Waaaaaah!!!

-- shooter242

In fact, change him for a better baby. Or a handful of magic beans. Anything, really.

Anyone who didn't know something was deep down dirty when Bush paused a press conference to plug this excrescence should have his/her head/anus examined.

Given the Pinochet connection to The Politico, perhaps we should combine the two names and henceforth refer to it as The Pinocchio!

They can promote themselves with the tagline "A Nose for News."

Then of course, there is the obvious comment of how this group prefers "we lose, they win".

-- shooter242

Incredibly stupid, throughly dishonest, and above all batshit insane. Pointless to argue with him. Illegal to kill him. What's a democracy-on-life-support to do?
