The Politics of Hope...Arkansas, That Is.

I liked the Clintonsbetter when they were trailer park trash like the rest of us. Remember those sing alongs to "Friends in Low Places" and "It's A Little Too Late (To Do The Right Thing Now)?" Dang! That wuz fun!
They had to go and get all uppity on us; actin'like they forgot where they came from and all. Forgettin' who put 'em there to begin with.
Yesiree, I think I'll give my vote to that cute John Edwards. Ya know, his Daddy worked in a mill all his life. And Johnny played football too. Johnny hasn't forgotten what's important to us little folks. As for that big ole' house he's building: Shoot, he earned that money fair and square staring down those big corporations in court.
Can't begrudge a guy his due just because he worked hard and got himself an education and all. He still knows who he is. And he knows who we are. The way I figure it, with the Clintons, there's your trouble.

If Briteny Sprears Shouldn't Be Naked ....
[Read the article: If Britney Spears shouldn't be naked in front of her kids, what about me?]

No, you shouldn't be naked in front of her kids either.

So What?
[Read the article: Not taking it to the streets]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Who says that Iraq needs an analogy with Vietnam? Isn't there enough stuff wrong with Iraq for it to stand it on it's own? Bush didn't have Vietnam on the brain before his flawed invasion scheme. You, and the rest of the media still give this guy too much credit. He's toast. Stick a fork in him.

One Word to Describe Boylan
[Read the article: The case of the angry colonel]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]...FUBAR
Stevie should take a break from the Pentagon/Bush PR machine - he's actually starting to believe the crap spewing forth from his keyboard. That's the first mistake. Drinking that kool-aid will do it everytime.
Maybe we should thank Bush for this sloppy invasion of Iraq.Look at what we have found out thus far: Private contractors killing civilians, corporations ripping off U.S. taxpayers with no objections from much of anywhere, billions naccounted for, Iraqi oil revenue missing since Day 1, soliders mistreating civilians and detainees alike, torture, violation out the ying-yang of the U.S. Constitution and every other document that we've held up for model behavior, a Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Central Intelligence Director, and a President all willing to liar, distort the truth, obscure the truth, create facts from lies, and bribe tribes with millions of dollars in suitcases to join our side!
WOW! What a bunch. Demote this joker as soon as the last person out of Iraq turns out the lights. Oops! I forgot. They can't keep the lights on in Iraq. Demote him now.

Another Misdirection Play By Bush
[Read the article: When results don't matter]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nobody in their right mind actually believed that Karen Hughes or Rice went to State to improve the image of the United States. They were, and are, there to make sure that State stays out of the way of the "war machine" that Bush and Cheney dragged behind their sorry asses when they sneaked into the White House in January 2001.
Karen Hughes leaving is no big deal. It wasn't a big deal when she go there either. She's done nothing and that's exactly why she was sent there. Rice, however, after screwing up as National Security Adviser, was sent there to get out of the limelight and do nothing too. She's been flying here and there in the Middle East and we have no idea what the hell she's doing while she's there. She's probably lining her pocketbook with private sector clients for when she leaves government too.
How could such a worhless bunch (Cheney, Rumsfield, Bush, Rove, Wolfowitz, Rice, Hughes, Libby (the Scooter one this time!), Petraeus, Tennet, everybody at FEMA!, Brownie, Chertoff, and that Howdy Doody guy who first headed up Homeland Security do so much harm in such a short period of time?

No We Don't Want A Piece - or Anything Else That Smacks of Her!
[Read the article: "It's Britney, bitch"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There's something here that everyone in the media keeps missing, or chooses to overlook: WE DON'T GIVE A FAT RAT'S ASS ABOUT THIS CHICK. NEVER HAVE.
So now she can stop those desperate, predictable daily photo op drives to the 7-11 for that Big Slurpee. And you and your media types can stop pimping for her anytime now.

[Read the article: Their terrifying sounds]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE DEFINED WITH BRITNEY SPEARS AS A FREAKIN BACKDROP? You just managed to cheapen the memory of the very composers you ask the rest of us to commemorate by mentioning them in the same breath as Spears!
HEY, MEDIA: GIVE THIS CRAP WITH SPEARS A FREAKIN REST ALREADY!
