In a small and trivial way...

...this is just another example of the Bush legacy.

An unqualified Bush appointee to the Supreme Court who Obama voted against confirming, flubs the simple Oath of office.

There are thousands of incompetent "Bushies" burrowed into the government like termites. Rooting them out will take time, but for each one that is run out of town, the IQ of the US government will go up three points.

Cheney = Dr. Strangelove.

I wouldn't put it past him.

Stinky, glad to see your still online.

But you still need to try harder.

Original article: Bush: Same as he ever was

As he is led away to prison:

"I was just following orders! .... You tell them Dick!.... dick ... DICK, where are you Dick!..."

Hands above the keyboard elephantboy.

Watch out our Sarah is going to put you back in the box.

Don't be silly.

Fretting over this kind of BS is for the tin-foil-hat crowed on right wing radio.

Original article: View from Guantanamo

The so called "9/11" families have been fed a bunch of bunk by the right wing.

According to the right wing noise machine closing Guantanamo = letting terrorists go free, which is of course a lie.

Closing Gitmo = giving the "suspected terrorists" a fair trail. If they are guilty they will be subjected to the living hell of our prison system, if they are innocent then they will be set free.

The right wing fears the latter because if they are found not to be guilty then that means that THEY are guilty of being a party to kidnapping, imprisoning and torturing innocent people.

One thing a sociopath can never do is admit he/she is wrong. Just look at Cheney.

Oh e l e p h a n t b o y...

shouldn't you run along now! I think the rightwing posse might be catching up to you.

After all you did insure that the republicans would lose the election by "discovering" your dream girl, Sarah.

I understand elephantboy,

you have to keep your head down. There are a lot of toothless folks wearing white sheets looking for you and you can't be too careful. After all, Sarah can't protect you all the time.

So let me help...

errr, right elephantboy, it was the other elephantboy not you.

so many elephantpeople, it gets kinda confusing.

Original article: The power of the pen

This is an example of "smart power".

I hope there are many more to follow.

She is a better choice for the job...

...than every republican in congress, therefore I think she will do fine.

Hey, Jon Daily needs to get his material somewhere.

now that bush is gone.

Friday, January 23, 2009 03:14 PM

errrr

Jon Steward.

Doh!

Picked a bad day to stop sniffing glue.

Find someone who loves you, not what you can do for them. Let her marry an ATM.

Original article: Hoping for more than hope

I can only assume this was written before:

-Obama stoped the kangaroo military courts.

-shut down gitmo.

-rejected and banned torture in full sight of the world. (putting a stop by the way to 80% of the terrorist recruiting around the world)

-Ended the crazy gag rule.

-enacted new and much needed ethics rules.

He doing so much its hard to keep up. What we really have to worry about is how much trouble the repugs can make, which I believe to be considerable.

Jack meet Ass.

Even less than the sum of their parts.

Palin / Blago 2012

Rush Limbaugh - VP

Geraldo Rivera - Secretary of State

Richard Simmons - Secretary of Defense

Sun Myung Moon - Surgeon general

Who do you think the cabinet of the Palin/Blago administration should be?

The possibilities are endless.

Original article: Obama meets with House GOP

Its 1992 all over again

The republican strategy, articulated by Bill Kristol, was to not let President Clinton have any victory on anything, to block every everything from cabinet appointees to the most basic and needed legislation.

The joke of republican "bipartisanship" has now been exposed as smoke by the republican leadership itself. Its now time to see if Obama can play hard ball...(please, no Chris Matthews though)

Wednesday, January 28, 2009 03:23 PM

The republican party has a new name and leader.

From henceforward the republican party will now be known as the "limpuglicans".

In honor of their new leader Rush Limbaugh.

There was never any doubt in anyone's mind that the limpuglicans would do anything different than they always have.

They will do everything in their power to make sure the Democratic president gets nothing accomplished, even if it means the United States burns into to the ground in the process.

What a dick.

I wonder about the intelligence of the American people when I see someone like this tool who actually got elected to congress.
