It's only OK if You are a republican with an honest heart.
Before I go.
Open wide? I'm about to toss you gently a few perfectly ripe, green striped, Tiger Tomatoes.
There is a larger Aunt Green Granny Smith, IT is a German heirloom, and IT really does taste like it has already been 'hit' with a salt-shaker.
IT is too big tho, and may smash the computer window.
Green Striped Zebra's. same-same. Tony the Tiger. I go. But, I a greener 'waldO, great/lousy. gotham.
1. Fox's military "expert" claims, brags actually, that (we) meaning he I suppose, used to leave AK ammo where the NVA and Viet Cong could find it, fixed so that it would blow up if they tried to fire it.
OK, I never, ever, in my time in Vietnam as a scout (glorified grunt) working with many different elements of the 1st Cav, saw or heard of anyone screwing around with AK ammo to leave it for the enemy to find. For one, we were pretty busy doing other things. For another, a lot of our Kit Carson scouts and even some of our grunts, carried AKs. For another, if that ammo was left in a quasi-civilian area, kids would scavenge it in a heartbeat and try to take the powder out, blowing their little faces off. For another, when we discovered cashes of weapons and ammo up on the Ho trail and its tributaries in the Parrot's Beak, we destroyed it on the spot or back-hauled it for recycling to the ARVNs. There was no time for dicking around with squeezing C-4 into a bunch of AK shell casings, putting the ball back in, then sticking the whole thing back in its wooden crate and leaving it behind. How incredibly stupid and time wasting that would be. Besides, nobody ever accused the NVA of being stupid. They would be on to that trick as soon as they saw their cashe was disturbed.
Fox better find a different military expert. This one went di cau dau a long time ago.
You just gave a great example of what the TRUTH does to their fake and flawed arguments. Thanks. And thanks for your Vietnam service.
The only substantive reason that has been given as to why impeachment was "off the table" in this session is that the Congress would be prevented from conducting its serious business by doing so.
Impeachment requires that all other business must be set aside, until the impeachment issue has been debated and concluded, one way or another.
Look at the relatively short list of legislation that has actually been voted out of congress and signed by the executive--most of it having horrible outcomes for our republic. This is the "work" that the Speaker said was more important than impeachment, and absolutely had to be done for the good of the country.
Next, look at the degradation the Congress is putting itself through with this current foolishness.
All this--the FISA collapse, the Iraq funding collapse, this Iranian madness--all of it. Remember--we gave up impeachment in order that this could be accomplished.

You think maybe he was a..."phony soldier"?
Pointing out the stupidity and crap that spews from these lacking minds is as futile as trying to sweep the sand from the beach. What do you expect? Through it all you've got that base 30% that goes along and/or agrees.
My favorite piece of the past week was in NYT article about towns having to back off their anti-immigrant garbage, and how in some places they just destroyed the local economy. It serves them right. "What part of illegal don't you understand?"
Glenn, I didn't read your "Mutiny" post until this morning. If you're still following the comments here, let me say that is your best work to date. I don't think you are overstating the matter at all. We are in serious trouble when there is talk of mutiny, but I think this is exactly the situation our Founders had in mind when they set down the Laws of the Land. Cheney and his gang have no regard for those Laws.
I have said before I would not be surprised if they do something to NOT have an election next year. Not at all.
Keep up the GREAT work.
I see what Glenn is saying in his response to Mona, but I’m not sure that applying the same weapon to Republicans will eliminate “the advantage of this pernicious tool” at all, let alone cause “it to end.”
To the contrary, I’d think we’d see an escalation of use of this “pernicious tool” by both sides, which is not a road I’d like to see us go down.
Moreover, how can you ridicule the use of “passing resolutions condemning any group of American’s political speech” if you advocate using that tool yourself? I don’t think you can.
I think you can ridicule the hypocrisy of what Fox News and Limbaugh do more effectively (like Glenn just did) if you don’t advocate that the Senate pass such a resolution.
It’s an interesting debate, but I think I’m with Mona on this one.
Maybe sysprog? I hope he is resting tho...but the AK was a better, more solid, weapon.
Remember our Pentagon issued GI's a Mattel Toy. The caliber of the shell was the wrong size. Remember. The DOD knew that they issued us a lemon gun.
That's why men sometimes bleed just like a women in full bloom, and as clear as the moonlight. A moonbeam is so pure of a light, in my opinion. Did you see her rise orange in the East last night? WOW.
YEP. The DOD issued DUD rounds.
Dam-it, guns jam. I feel like real jelly jam. I scram.
If we want the right things on the table, we have to get the goons who are spilling everthing off the table. Until you corral the goons, they mess up everything. First things first. I'm referring to legislation, not elections.
