Let's call it straight for a change. This sect is one of the most rightwing elements in the Republican Party. Ever been to Utah? Want that here?

What should be at least sexual rather than bloodless props, shouldn't surprise anyone--the women

are just window dressing for Tommy's Boy-Toys.

Come on, after Bush shit all over him, what do we see--Ole Melanoma head hugging W as if they were lovers just in time for the 04 election, and the suck fest was under way. And then how many times whining about how unfair it was to call the Liar a liar about the runup to the war.

As they say over at Firedoglake, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A MODERATE REPUBLICAN.

Obfuscation mixed with wingnuttery.

Ya, do it. In fact all you W Right or Wrong, STOP TAKING ANY the "New Deal"/Great Society programs, like medicare, social security, disability, death benefits---the Great Decider *wants* an "ownership society" to replace them. Are you doing your part to make this happen? So Bush Heads, start supporting the President--get rid of that commie tainted tax-and-spend evil of Medicare, et al.

So, all you fucking Escalade with a W drivers, you steak gorging (dry aged, please) eaters, avoid the ungodly legacy of that secret Jew, FDR, and pay out of your own tax-cut pockets for that prostate removal, your quad by-pass, your wife's overian cancer, not to mention the knee surgery from that bad turn at Telluride, just do the right thing, Republlicans, wash yourselves pure of the Evil of Government, and just spend your own money instead of raiding the evil Treasury. Think what a relief it will be to not participate in a system built by the Spawn of the Devil! Be a personal Jesus, running the government money-changers out of your life! What moral purity, what a shining city on a hill free of ungodly medicare! The mere act of taking the $200,000 big ones for the by-pass out of your "medical savings account" (which by the way, Jesus wants you to have a medical savings account, it's part of His Intelligent Design) will IN ITSEF BROTHER, be an act of salvation.

And make it really hot, too.

What a fucking idiot this guy is.

Clearly Ms. Eden is unbalanced, in need of professional help. First I think Salon should make it a policy to interview rational, serious people. In Ms. Eden's case, she is seriously disturbed, mentally ill, not rational, and the net result is reading an interview with someone so clearly off their emotional moorings as to be a waste of time. Who knows what this poor woman really belives? This is a waste of time for readers and puts Ms. Eden up to redicule. Suicide, manic swings of belief, all of this taken seriously and exploited by both idiological extremeists, and in this case, by Salon.

There are many Marias in this country, the only country in the First World that does not provide universal health insurance. Where is the new Speaker's plan? There isn't one. The Marias don't have insurance but Nancy P does. As these new set of clowns nibble around the edge of "reform" by banning travel on private jets, maybe they should include health care along with a minimum wage proposal. That would be REAL reform, the kind that matters to those, unlike Pelosi, that won't have a fat pension and lifetime health coverage.

Nancy, where is the health plan?

Scooter Libby is an Andover Ivy trained thug. He dressed right, but he, like his boss, Fat Boy with Stent, is a thug, responsible for the deaths of perhaps 100,000 Iraquis and 3,000 + Americans. That's "tragic" you apologist bugger-boy. Boy Scooter dug it all, the limo, the private jet, being on the inside, learning how to be an even bigger and better thug.

He doesn't belong in some cushy federal prison. He's a war criminal. He belongs on a gallows or in front of a firing squad. Instead he has a cushy non-job at the Hudson Foundation, which pays the rent, and a defense fund, which pays the legal bills, followed by hero status among the rest of this Junta doing 18 holes in Texas.

Hey, join the millions of other Americans, buddy. You are no different, not special, a glorifiied bus driver in fact. I've had it with the whole lot of you, having flown about three million miles, I could CARE LESS what happens to these airlines and their employees. How did I get this way? You earned it by treating us like shit. Don't like the profession? Find another job. Since apparently you aren't making it as a writer, I hear Safeway and Trader Joe's pay over $10.00 an hour, with benefits. Personally, I'd love to see at least two of the major airlines go under, not bankrupt, or merged: **liquidated**, as in selling off all the planes, counter tops, engines, the works. In short, say, United and Northwest, thereby opening up the market to new companies, new people, and maybe that just needs to include you.

Great post.

Mormonism, the Taliban of Utah, needs to be covered, too.
