Just Ugly News
Check it out, baby.
Stephen Hayes, conspiracy theorist and propagandist of the right, how I hate thee.
If men’s faces were like their souls, our cities would look like Hell, as the old saying roughly goes.
Bill Kristol has finally figured out what I figured out last week, that Russ “Stuntman” Feingold has cleverly stoked the fires of the wiretapping issue by submitting a censure resolution. Starting to see the big picture, Bill? Bwahahahaha!
Drifty scores one for the good guys, detailing the lastest delusional rhetoric of Darth “last throes” Cheney on Sunday morning, eventually getting so sick of the rhetoric that he finally growls, “And, sorry, that’s all the Cheney I can stomach today. He’s a tumor in a suit, who lies as casually and unabashedly as my cat cleans its ass.”
LOL.
And in other news…can you smell the smoke, republicans? I mean JESUS! When your president visits and suddenly DeWine and Voinovich are too busy to attend…ouch. I don’t remember this ever happening to Clinton, though H.W. might have had to endure such snubs in the last year of his presidency. Either way, that’s really nasty stuff.
Check out Christy Hardin Smith from Firedoglake just roast Mirengoff from Powerline on C-Span. Double ouch! “President Clinton was almost impeached for a “purely procedural” count.” Oooo...man…it’s ugly what happens to the noisome, slimy things of the political world when they muster the courage to face someone who actually has a grasp of the issue (Smith is Reddhedd at Firedoglake, link to the left, check her out). I am not surprised that she’s a prosecutor, much like Glenn Greenwald, my other favorite blogger.
Ahhh…sweet, sweet Arianna…her prose is like unto the purest gust of air from the highest mountaintop…
And welcome to the Dead to Me list, Mr. Boehner, just for K Street complicity and fumbling, ham handed fascist rhetoric that would have given Benito Mussolini himself pause. You certainly are a worthy successor to the moral sewage spill of a human being that preceded you.
If you want to look at the lies of the day, go ahead. But after twenty years of paying attention to politics and five months of blogging daily, I am simply a little too jaded at this point to really take note of Bush flatly denying he ever linked Iraq to 9/11. I mean, is anyone who pays attention to the news really shocked or appalled anymore? I know Drinky is speaking to the gibbering, twitchy, inbred mass that comprises his base, but isn’t it a truism that only people who don’t pay attention to the news vote for him? What use does Dear Leader have for the media when the only people who pay attention already know he’s utterly depraved? Who are you talking to, Drinky?
Karl Rove figured out that as long as some of his words filter down to the masses without any critical commentary from the supine corporate press he can have an impact. But it’s a dangerous game to lie so obviously, and a simply pigeon-stupid game to lie when you don’t have to. Clinton lying about Kosovo wasn’t dangerous for him because no one cared and the war lasted all of three weeks; Drinky is lying about the very same message he pounded into peoples’ heads for years. Drinky could lie about his budget because no one in America was actually going to read it; everyone in America knows about the war and remembers our justifications for going there.
Granted, it doesn’t top Bill Frist saying, so recently after the war started, that “I’m not sure WMDs were our primary reason for going there.” Then again, few people pay attention to what any senator says. The president is a whole different ballgame.
