Some are born to it. Others aspire. But it would seem you have ass-hatted-ness thrust upon you. Either that or you're being paid piece work. You know, a dime per cliche.

I'm not going to be baited. Nor others.

Not by the likes of you.

The great david sugarman once called me a Nazi. david sugarman??

Sorry, his poop didn't stick. The only place the feces he flung stuck to were his own hand.

As Frank Zappa sang, "You are what you is . . ."

You are an ass-hat.

Two other words to illustrate where you and the other freeks are coming from.

Rat.

Corner.

Ahh the cry of the loser taking his ball and going home. Sniff the tears. You never had an original thought in your head and w/o the mob you're nothing. So be it.

These are some great memories, which I will have to share with the Bride when she gets home.

Also, with her oldest sister, who's the same age as your extra-special good buddy, another CP summer worker whom it would not be a surprise to learn your ESGB was acquainted with.

She lives in Manhattan now; we had a great celebration last fall for her 60th, a big gathering upstate where we pondered all the ways the world has changed. And, suitably enough, drank way too much.

Yes Like I just said. The people who form a pack, a mob, screaming that one person out of hundred dare disagree with them.

Brooks Brothers Riot

http://www.politicalfriendster.com/images/3134.jpg

One of the most historic episodes of the 2000 battle for the White House -- the now-legendary "Brooks Brothers Riot" at the Miami-Dade County polling headquarters. This was when dozens of "local protesters," actually mostly Republican House aides from Washington, chanted "Stop the fraud!"

Some of those pictured have gone on to other things, including stints at the White House.

For example, Matt Schlapp, No. 6, a former House aide and then a Bush campaign aide, has risen to be White House political director. Garry Malphrus,

No. 2 in the photo, a former staff director of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on criminal justice, is now deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. And Rory Cooper, No. 3, who was at the National Republican Congressional Committee, later worked at the White House Homeland Security Council and was seen last week working for the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

No. 1. Tom Pyle, who had worked for Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), went private sector a few months later, getting a job as director of federal affairs for Koch Industries.

No. 7. Roger Morse, another House aide, moved on to the law and lobbying firm Preston Gates Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds. "I was also privileged to lead a team of Republicans to Florida to help in the recount fight," he told a legal trade magazine in a 2003 interview.

No. 8. Duane Gibson, an aide on the House Resources Committee, was a solo lobbyist and formerly with the Greenberg Traurig lobby operation. He is now with the Livingston Group as a consultant.

No. 9. Chuck Royal was and still is a legislative assistant to Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), a former House member.

No. 10. Layna McConkey Peltier, who had been a Senate and House aide and was at Steelman Health Strategies during the effort, is now at Capital Health Group.

(We couldn't find No. 4, Kevin Smith, a former GOP House aide who later worked with Voter.com, or No. 5, Steven Brophy, a former GOP Senate aide and then at consulting firm KPMG. If you know what they are doing these days, please e-mail shackelford@washpost.comso we can update our records.)

Sources say the "rioters" proudly note their participation on résumés and in interviews. But while the original hardy band of demonstrators numbered barely a couple of dozen, the numbers apparently have grown with the legend.

From an article in the March 18th Washington Post entitled "The Audacity of Chutzpah" written by Dana Milbank. Milbank describes a meeting of "Jewish leaders." Note the comment about the role of America's President made by [Ann] Lewis.

"A group of Jewish leaders announced that it was having a public meeting yesterday to discuss the 2008 presidential election. Representing John McCain: former secretary of state Lawrence Eagleburger. Representing Hillary Clinton: former White House official Ann Lewis. Representing Barack Obama: "a high-level representative of Barack Obama's presidential campaign (TBA)."

Finally, TBA was ID'd: Princeton professor Dan Kurtzer, a former ambassador to Israel. And when the victim, er, high-level representative, took the stage at the Washington Hilton yesterday for the United Jewish Communities debate, he went quickly on defense.

...

Next question to Kurtzer: Obama's assertion that he needn't have a "Likud view" -- that of Israel's right-wing party -- to be pro-Israel. Kurtzer explained that Obama wanted to see a "plurality of views." Silence in the room.

To that, Lewis retorted: "The role of the president of the United States is to support the decisions that are made by the people of Israel. It is not up to us to pick and choose from among the political parties." The audience members applauded."

I must confess that I was holding the misguided opinion that the role of the President of the United States was to support the decisions that are made by the people of the United States. Silly me!

4:AM, she'll wake you up, and order you to dig fence post holes.

That's right. No freeloaders in my garden. ;-}

WHEN are the candidates going to be asked about their stance on Swedish/Norwegian fishing rights?

Svensker - they'll be after y'all as soon as they're finished with the Norwegians and the Whaling Wall.

Yes Like I just said. The people who form a pack, a mob, screaming that one person out of hundred dare disagree with them.

Because whatever rhetorical bullshit one of them pulls out of their collective ass, you can find an example from the recent past that highlights the hypocrisy and perfidy and in stark relief. Here we have a case of a small pack, a screaming mob, perverting the will of the majority and democracy itself.
