  • Worst reply of the month ...

    Oh, Elephant...

    Fuck you and Godwin. This guy was an ex-nazi and a pedophile. Worked with our CIA.

    ...

    -- L.W.M.

    In replying to something that our resident Republican apologist had to say, lwm tells me that he wants to get intimate with Dr. Godwin. But the kicker is that he thinks Godwin is a Nazis child molester and CIA asset!

    Now anyone can counter e-man with simple truth when e-man is wrong, and he gives everyone here plenty of opportunity. Why did lwm later beg the man to stop? Perhaps due to the above lack of ability to understand the difference between Dr. Godwin and some old Nazis that had nothing to do with Usenet discussions.

  • This moron is as feeble-minded as he appears

    Stop being a sissy!

    I am all for "using harsh interrogation techniques against suspected terrorists"

    Terrorists are by logical necessity war criminals so if someone wants to lower them head fist into a bucket of shit, god bless him.

  • @Bucky

    You are the third most clueless person here, but I like you so it's okay.

  • Friends of Impeachment - Get your impeachment on

    The BooMan has a serious question:
    The ACLU wants a special prosecutor to investigate Bush's admission that he authorized torture. I think that is a swell idea that is likely to go nowhere.

    I hear John Conyers asked an assembled crowd today in Philadelphia whether any of them would object to impeaching the president. No one objected. Then he asked whether anyone would object to impeaching Cheney. Again, no one objected. I don't know the full context of Conyers' remarks, but the timing indicates it is related to Bush's admission.

    If you were strategizing a blogswarm to get Congress, the press, and the administration to do something, what would you suggest we focus on? Should we focus on the lack of media coverage? Should we focus on getting a special prosecutor? Should we focus on getting the administration to comply with requests for documents and testimony from congressional committees?

    I'm asking because I'm not sure what we should do, only that we should do something.

    Personally, I think we should do all of those things.

    Signed,

    Not Atrios

  • @ Bucky

    Mike Godwin isn't a Doctor.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Godwin

    Paul Schäfer is an ex-Nazi, Cult leader, pedophile and torturer with some unsavory connections to our CIA and DINA and Pinochet.

    Go back to bed and get your brain and beauty sleep.

  • -- L.W.M. on Godwin ...

    "Fuck you and Godwin. This guy was an ex-nazi and a pedophile. Worked with our CIA." ---lwm

    I just read what the words say. In my years at UT, I have found that the most aggressive misreading of my posts is the norm here, but I am just trying to read your post as written without any attempt to misread.

    Were you by chance an English major those many decades ago?

  • lwm says lawyers are not doctors ...

    "Mike Godwin isn't a Doctor." ---lwm

    I though Mike Godwin was a lawyer; don't they have to get a Doctorate?

  • Poor Glenn

    In DC he's seen on the streets. A homeless vet uses a sponge. He uses a dirty kleenex tissue on his gasses as he goes to the Dupont Circle farmers market. He buys greens from weary farmers.

    Glenn has no change to give the homeless a tip.

    'Nam vets haven't the heart to spit on lawyers?

    UT bloggers shake heads, and scream at Glenn.

    Bloggers say, "No readers here ask to be born!"

    Salon's editors concede the point. Glenn is fired.

    The good news is? Relax. Collect unemployment.

  • Not gasses.... on Glenn's eye glasses! on a lawyer's spectacles. a dirty tissue wipes the glasses.

    A lawyer has his eye spectacles hanging on the nose bridge.

    The whole world becomes a spectacle. Glenn needs a squeegee.

    He quits Salon and opens a counseling service for Weight Loss advice.

  • Thanks Sandy Yago for the right metaphor!

    "so if someone wants to lower them head fist into a bucket of shit, god bless him."

    If only a courageous Republican had done that to the Boy President, we would NOT be in Irak now but in Afghanistan/Pakistan where the terrorists are.

    "so if someone wants to lower him tiny head first into a bucket of shit, God bless her."

  • An other example of Elephantman choosing the scapegoat

    Why is E. talking about Lyndie England and not about General Geoffrey D. Miller?

    And why is Miller not wanting to visit Germany?

  • Good Morning America

    ABC News, 8 AM Eastern Time, Sunday, April 13, 2008.

    Today's top stories:
    * Muqtada al-Sadr called the U.S. Secretary of Defense a terrorist.
    * Haiti's prime minister is out.
    * The Clinton campaign is churning out bumper stickers saying, "I'm not bitter."
    * Somebody in New Orleans ate 35 dozen oysters in eight minutes.

    "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source."

  • April 15th in DC.

    At firedoglake, a bunch of swaggering bloggers sit,

    trying to help a lawyer remember how to sign his name.

    Everybody stands with dirty napkins filled with swiss cheese,

    and the cupbearers keep overflowing mason jars with champagne.

    Glenn is seen swigging brews like a rookie drunk who signs a book.

  • Breaking news. UPI

    sysprog is busted at a DC sex clinic. For what?

    He is posing as a sex addict, and a UT Salon blogger. He wants a kiss.

    The reason he/us/who blog here is to know none of us will meet partners.

  • bamage?

    bamage is probably having meatloaf for b-fast.

    Those who are sleeping in late may soon scream about that.

    Glenn goes back to Brazil early. He remembers a oil change appointment.

    Someone needs to inform Lawyers to keep the fly up at book signing events.

  • Glenn hates DC. Why?

    The homeless Nam vet population don't carry 'Windex'...

    He teaches bloggers in the next UT post how to spray glasses.

    Keep spraying with the right hand, and wipe clean with the left.

  • oratorio?

    The topic is never discussed in public. Never mention menstruation on a school bus or a blog.

    You can get kicked off forever.

    A ill blogger strives to be chivalrous,

    and ends up being castigated as a chauvinist.

    The answer to your question? Ask a cab driver?

    Ask a DC zoo manager? Ask a garbage collector?

  • Hillary Clinton is causing gastritis

    The 'tiny' link is from Talking points memo.

    I've lost all respect for Hillary Clinton. I hope to the Griffin, or any other deity or weird thing of your choosing, that she loses the primary. And the sooner the better.
