Ney and Matthews
The slime machine is in full tilt today. Bob Ney sent out an automated message to Ohio voters that is simply reprehensible from start to finish.
This reeks of desperation. Ney’s chief of staff has already pled guilty to bribing him and Ney is mentioned in several Abramoff-related plea agreements, as Maddow points out. It is truly disgusting and pathetic to see a senator send out an automated message describing Maddow only as a “cross-dressing lesbian” and characterizing “progressive” as believing in nothing more than “higher taxes, more gun control, more abortions, and more gay marriages.”
Oh, yes, democrats typically perform two abortions before breakfast every day. And by “cross dressing” is Ney saying that women shouldn’t be allowed to wear jeans or pantsuits? What the Hell does that mean?
Apparently calling someone a lesbian is a smear in Ohio. It will reflect exceptionally poorly on Ohio if they re-elect this lunatic. I am personally offended that Ney derided Maddow as a “cross-dressing lesbian.” When Ney’s opponents criticize him most do a lot better job of it than dismissing him as a pasty, bloated heterosexual with a bad comb-over.
But, you know, it’s just indicative of that crazy ultra-left wing establishment that they consort with “cross-dressing lesbians.”
Democrats should take a transcript of that message and hang it from the rafters. Take a good, long look at Bob Ney, ladies and gentleman.
Another poll came out recently, this one indicating that Iraqis want a timeline for US withdrawal, with about half favoring a six-month timeline (the poll was taken in January, so they wanted US forces out by July) and another half favoring withdrawal by the end of 2007. Bush and Blair have repeatedly refused to give a timeline for withdrawal.
Chris Matthews continues to find new ways to piss me off. Recently he was shilling for the prospect of a McCain-Guiliani ticket (his preferred candidates for president, being a moderate republican). First he seemed to scoff at the concept that democrats would improve Washington: “what could change?” The he’s arguing with Howard Dean, saying that people really are concerned about the state of the Clintons’ marriage. Sure, Matthews, sure. Why don’t we look at a poll of issues that concern voters and find out where “Hillary Clinton’s marriage” ranks on that list?
