Dukerone

If you find it hard to believe, then you're easy to deceive. Consider yourself duped.

You have just been fanagled.

Here's what Hillary's better half had to say today:

"You know, I don't give a rip about all this name calling that's going on..."

In the Wake of to Tell the Truth about Tuzla..

Here's what Hillary's better half had to say today to underscore Hillary's grasp on the issues: "You know, I don't give a rip about all this name calling that's going on."

Here's an inspiring quote today from Hillary's "better half"

Bill Clinton: "You know, I don't give a rip about all this name calling that's going on."

I'm with you, and I cannot wait until this whole process is thoroughly through.

Here's one for Shawn & Walker

Here's today's quote from familial frontman Bill Clinton:

"You know, I don't give a rip about all this name calling that's going on..."

Go get tell it on the mountain Bill the Ripper!

I think the whole Clinton coronation crew is going into its major meltdown mode.

Wednesday, March 26, 2008 08:54 PM

I read that on the Today Show

The question was broached why she (Clinton) hasn't already quit. I don't know what were the ensuing speculations, but democrats keep saying she's steering the democratic party up shit creek without a paddle. I'm an independent, so the state of the democratic part is pretty secondary to me. I'm onboard for Obama, but frankly the party and the people in it having a food fight is its own problem. I'll wait to vote Obama until the moon grows blue from cold if need be.

I agree, there's no going back to the moldy oldies. The country wants forward momentum.

On early Radical Islamists in Egypt:

Look up Said Khutub and Hasan al-Bana, also the ikhwan muslimeen (The Muslim Brotherhood).

Mr. May

You may care to read the entire text of Wright's sermon, all words in context, and then you may care to eat your own words about their content.

geegee

papier mache patriotism is old and passe, take your OWN fear mongering, and fade away.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:13 AM

Hey there

No Fester. The Ikhwan muslimeen still exists today in Egypt, although with only semi-legitimacy granted it by the Egyptian govenment. Said Khutub and Hasan al-Banna are the preeminent thinkers and shapers of modern political Islam. As for Iran, having had two Iranian gilfriends in a single lifetime, I know my Iranscape pretty well. I bid your command oh master.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 12:16 AM

I mean

Oh Fester.

stopped unschooler?

She has a right to push on if it pleases her to, however at the rate she's going she's tripping herself up all over the place. The almighty mendacity of her claims about N. Ireland and Bosnia have blown up in face, her approvals are lower than low, and her good word's a disgrace.

Bottom Line:

Hillary has got a Whole lot of Ugly to Overcome.

Bod-a-getta

Thanks for the speech pops. Last I checked I was who I was. And by the way, I'm an independent, and if you want Clinton to drag your party through the crapper, well pal, that's your perogative.

The lesson:

Those who try to portray the totality of an individual by a man of the cloth, is probably wearing the emperor's new clothes.

I agree "we have a crisis of confidence."

In Clinton.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 04:03 PM

Perhaps Clinton

Should Rove elsewhere. Her own record is ripening like a stale old cheese.

Before we go blaming abortion

What about the genetic aspects of mental illness?

Thursday, March 27, 2008 04:45 PM

Quite the opposite KateTex

It is rather those like yourself who harm democrats in election. Those who support intransigent lame ducks.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 05:18 PM

A Close friend?

Sounds just as quaitly contrived, as you sound as consistantly clueless as ever Kate. You quote an imaginary friend, and lo! Hold the presses.

Carville? Come on.

Clinton is a "Judas" to the truth.

Independently speaking as an Independent

I never called Obama a saint, and I'll be damned if I personally know anybody else who's called him one either.

Original article: "Stop-Loss"

Why can't we have an Iraq film that's warts and all?

I'm really tired of the naive, pained patriots approach of reflective self examination, seen in so many movies that choose the Iraq war as a subject or setting in examining what war is. I'm amazed that I have to look as far back as the Eisenhower era to find a better film about what unvarnished insanity war really is in a movie like Robert Aldrich's "Attack," which is about a hardfaced fragging incident in WWII, or else I have to look to Sam Fuller to show me it all like it really is, ugly, incomprehensible, and above all stupid, with pathetically ugly overtones of empty patriotism, that no longer have a place anywhere in the daily dialouge between life and death on the battlefield. The best war film about American soldiers in recent memory that I can remember is actually a film set on a U.S. army base in Germany during peace time at the end of the cold war, the ingenius "Buffalo Soldiers." I haven't seen DePalma's "Redacted" yet, but I'm sure it's better than "Jarhead," or any other generic Sapfest sure to come to a theater near you anytime soon.

The Untold Story from the Balkans

In the final year of husband Bill Clinton's admisistration, Hillary Rodham Clinton was secretly dispatched to Belgrade to engage strongman Slobodan Milosvic in an arm wrestling contest that would decide the fate of the world.

You just woke me up from a good nap.

Rum,Romanism and James Carville

Sounds kinky...except for the Carville part. That part just sounds plain sickening.
