O'Donnell vs the Scar

Or reason vs assholidity. And while we're at it, throw in Big Orange: The Boehner. (and remember: when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking)

Lawrence had to go back to 1984 and Barry Goldwater to try to come up with someone crazy enough with enough conservative credibility to counteract ...

Ahhh.... The Scar is a "Burkian Conservative." He believes in restoring social order. Now how do you restore/keep order? Small government? No government? Privatization of...? anyway...

O'Donnell brings up Goldwater, because Goldwater ALSO accused the CIA of lying to him over aspects of the Reagan-HWBush Iran-Contra affair: the mining of Nicarauguan harbors. Of course because there's a Democrat making accusations, all of a sudden the CIA is a bastion of truth and honesty (Orwellian style?), and Goldwater by 1984 was no longer a true conservative.

David Gregory -- water carrier for corporations, corruption and conservatards, "This is not where the White House wants to go. No one comes away clean."

I am NO fan of Nancy Pelosi. If she lies, throw her to the wolves with the rest of the war criminals, but NONE of this is the heart of the matter as Mika says. The heart of the matter is this:

by WHOM and WHEN was water boarding/torture ordered?

Try them

Convict them.

Sentence them.

If there are no investigations, if there are no prosecutions -- and I do not mean "truth commissions" -- the fate of this country will be sealed. Our reputation cast in stone.

How was this country put on the level of Nazi Germany, Pol Pot's Cambodia, Nicaraugua under the death squads, Argentina with "the Desaparecidos."

What makes us better than the Taliban? Than al Qaida? What? ???

I've gotten compliments and comments over time regarding my blog title. Countries go through all sorts of ages/times: The Gilded age, the Age of Enlightenment. This country, right now IS in the midst of the Great Endarkenment. The regime of George Dubya Bush, and his criminal henchmen have literally turned out the lights of intellect and reason. They have neutralized this nation's moral compass. They have turned one of the greatest documents of all time, the Constitution, into toilet paper, and the government it once defined into a Banana Republic.

If we had Bananas.

H/T to Matthews

For his summation of Dubya's prime time slime, I give him an "A." From his description of Dubya as being anti-intellect with a tabla rasa mind to that of him as still clueless, still clinging to the idea that nations' conducting elections somehow magically makes them peaceful and friendly. I think he was being charitable. The fucker is a total snake oil salesman.

Basically, everyone is ignoring the speech. O'Lielly gave it some time, but... "SO?" What would you expect of the Foxtard-in-Chief? The jet in the Hudson is the big story tonight.

People make mistakes. Presidents are people too, so I really don't expect them to get everything right. One thing I do NOT expect from my president, is malevolence. I expect my president to protect my country. Bush likes to claim he's done so. Dismantling the constitution, damaging the economy, undoing our regulatory systems, destroying other nations for personal reasons... These are not mistakes. These were willfull efforts by a deluded boy-king with no conscience.

What he's done is unforgiveable. He must be prosecuted.

I await Rachel Maddow's analysis.

Bushit: The Next Chapter

Just like he'd like us to forget his irresponsibility before 9-11-2001, I'm waiting for him to try to brand his record deficits and destruction of our economy as some sort of fiscal responsibility:

He kept HIS deficits out of the trillions.

I guess when you tie your shoelaces together and fall on your face, you take credit for the quality of the knot? ???

A Running Conversation

There's still time for him to declare himself a dictator, or start a war that he must stay and finish, or Obama to be assassinated, or some mysterious threat regarding the inaugeration, or any other reason he can come up with to stay in office.

I'm kicking 2008 out the door. Eight years of that asshole is enough. He's too stupid to be a dictator. Believe me, he wants out like more than we want him out! That's a fact jack!

Blogger Chris in Seattle said...

I've heard that about him: That he wants out as much as we want him out. On the other hand, he has this -- I don't know what the word is -- "thing" about his own rightness. It could be that he's simply delusional about being guided by God, which would be the best case scenario regarding any legacy, since it would seal the deal regarding the importance of including mental health services in any health care scheme. But then maybe he actually believes that he is some sort of supreme, omniscient being who really IS right about everything. I never did finish reading "Bush on the Couch."

Then again, Bush's reign, the entire 8 yrs of it, to wit his entire being is a lie. He lies like he breathes. He titles major legislation with lies: The Clean Skies Act; The Clean Water Act; The Deficit Reduction Act. Now to "create his legacy," he has to lie to cover the lies... This is getting post length. OK now where was I...?

Remember the exchange from this summer about gas prices? In answering one question about gas prices hitting $4/gal he flippantly responds that he hadn't heard that. In answering (I believe) the very next question about something else, he responded that he had been busy dealing with other things, like the price of gas. All with a straight face and no sense of irony. Like the Terminator (As I've said many times): (Lying) 's what he does, it's all he does, and he absolutely will. Not. Stop!!!

Allannis Morrisette do a Bush tribute yet? You live, you lie, you ___, you lie....

So... Any ordinary human being would be crushed by the weight of accumulated failure and disaster, and DREAM of getting out. But Bush? He doesn't believe he's failed at all. Except possibly in the case of destroying Social Security. But he's making up for that with the trillions he's funneling to Wall Streeters through TARP and hidden Federal Reserve strategies. In his warped and twisted mind, he's been infinitely successful, and when you look at things through the shit-stained glasses of conservatism, he HAS been infinitely successful: He's gotten nearly 100% of what he's asked for; Not ONE single veto till the 2006 elections.

And then there's the power he's accumulated. Through his illegal wire taps; his signing statements, his executive orders laying the foundations for martial law and dictatorship, his bankrolling of private armies, his bleeding the armed forces dry, his bankrupting the nation through enriching corporations... And then there's always his trump card:

Osama bin Laden

Oh come on.... anyone out there still thinking that he ever intended to catch him? on January 19? Maybe? ???

He has everything Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin etc had and more. He's the American dictator of his Grampa Prescott's wet dreams. As much as I drem of his ass going down the road (and to jail), I just can't see him giving up all of that.

The Dub Years Continued, eh?

In a comment, Dale asks:

Just out of curiosity, since you and I have discussed this shitloads of times in the past few years, do you still think W will find a way to stay in office?

Yes, I've said I believed Dub would figure out a reason that would give him a way to stay in office beyond his term. I've said it many times, and I've meant it. Has anything happened to change my mind?

wellllll.... He doesn't seem do be standing in Obama's way of forming his new cabinet, but then to do so would be too obvious. He Has said that he wants to ensure a smooth transition; allow Obama and his team to come in and hit the ground running.

Obviously, I don't believe a god damned single fucking thing Dubya has to say. I haven't trusted the government since the days of Nixon, but Dubya's words and actions have pushed my distrust to new heights. He's developed an efficiency to his lying, that's almost mind boggling.

Behind this fucker's actions and words lies an unshakable belief in his "rightness." NOTHING shakes him, not reason, logic or even results. "The American people need to understand..." HE, and it seems he alone, knows what's right for the country and the world. Fuck the experts: The Iraq Study Group, the 911 Commission, etc. Charlie Gibson asks him about a do-over and his example is what THOSE guys could do over: Get the intelligence right on Iraq..?

THEY had it right;YOU didn't/wouldn't believe it. Or you did and ignored it. Whatever... the point is that he's NEVER admitted to a mistake. And to step aside and allow someone to undo what he's done would be the ultimate admission.

For the third time he's brought Karen Hughes out of mothballs to do PR work; this time to work with Turdblossom on "ensuring his legacy." As the country crumbles and the world spins off its axis, what the fuck are they going to do, short of a complete government take over of ALL arms of publishing, to put a positive spin on this disaster otherwise known as the Dubya administration?

Remember when the prospect of a Jeb presidency was mentioned? "I think he would make a great president "too." " Too as in "also," as in "like me," as in "I am a great president." He's sheltered his fragile, hollow ego in a house of cards, and I see no end to which he won't go to protect it.

What scares me is that he's not the only on who still thinks he's right. And that's not just the usual crazies like Grover Norquist and the "let's drown government in red ink the bath tub" crowd. Congress is ALSO concerned about lending money to help keep workers working, proposing to lend the automakers only HALF of what they requested. Did they propose reducing dividends? or bonuses? Why the scrutiny? Why not the free ride the ban-sur-vest companies are getting?

They could do a "de-facto" impeachment and ignore the fucker and turn to Barack and ask, "What do we do? What do you want?" but they don't. They could do things now to change the course of this country, but they don't.

Why?

They "should" have nothing to fear, but... enemy combatant status...?

So, Yes, I still think he's going to stay.

How He Lies; Let Me Count the Ways (Updated)

I am concerned... There's lie #1.

...about taxpayer money... Lie #2.

...being spent... Lie #3.

...on corporations... Lie #4.

...that may fail. Lie #5.

And I say this because...?

Of the last seven years and ten months.

Update: You could actually break Lie #2 into two lies:

#2a: ...about taxpayer(s)...

#2b: ...money..."

As Obama Forms his Cabinet...

...Dubya promises a smooth transition.

Lemme lay back for a sec. Let the warm and fuzzies roll over me. Bask in the warm comfort and glow of another Bush promise of unity.

Oh who the fuck does he think he's kidding? This is the asshole who kicked off National Parks Week, with a $100 million budget cut.

"I wanna make sure the incoming administration can hit the ground running." Translation: I'm going to make sure we leave him such a fucking mess he'll be running around like a chicken with his head cut off.

Barack had his first National Security briefing this morning. I suppose Dubya's hacks filled him in on all the black op prisons as well as the progress on Halliburton's US detention centers..? Filled him in on the costs of bin Laden's dialisis..? Whether they treat him in a cave, or put him up in Pakistan's best hotel or transport him back and forth..? Did they give him the "real reason" for invading Iraq?

In the grand tradition of Gonzo, Rummie, Bigfoot, Pablo, Turdblossom, et al, I wonder what nick name Duby's given him..?

Tomorrow the jobs report for the month of October comes out. The prediction is another 200,000 jobs lost. 1,000,000 / 1 Million for the year. But keeping taxes low creates jobs. Doesn't it? Seems a little old man from out west and his crazy MILF side kick were saying that. Those increased revenues and (not that they matter, right Dick?) 5 trillion more to the national debt brought to us via refuckyoucan conservatard policies... Oh come on people.

I know it's humiliating to admit that you've been suckered in to believing a pack of lies, but what possible good will come from hanging on to those same bullshit beliefs out of stubbornness? ??? When someone shows a drug allergy, you don't give them more of the same drug. Stop with the fucking insanity.


Rachel Maddow has started a "Lame Duck Watch" to keep an eye out for more dubya authored bullshitiousness and douchebaggery in these last ten weeks. He loves to pull his shit on Fridays, when fewer people pay attention to the news.

O'Leilly and Stossel

Fuckers are so full of shit. Nobody warned them. Was there supposed to be someone appointed to do that? Bush put a Regency graduate in there? Poor Baby Billy; Poor Baby John. According to them, it was that Damn Barney Frank who caused all this. Led the charge was how Bill put it. Nothing to do with Dubya. Hell no. Just because he stood up and praised the loosening of the reins on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2002, doesn't mean he actually WANTED that to happen.

My fucking head's going to explode if someone doesn't shut these fuckers up. These fuck sticks blaming liberals and Dems for THEIR fucked up conservative philosophy's failures is just... Am I in the Twilight Zone or something?

STILL more random rants

... well...
You read her yet?

DCup, I mean

Like me, she seems so pissed she can't see straight because of the LIES the McSurge campign keeps spewing while Obama and the dems let them pass. Oh? They call them out you say? Really?

A lie is a lie is a lie.

And there are lies, Damn lies, Refuckyoucan lies and McCain lies.

They are NOT... half-truths... distortions... prevarications...<== Oh yeah, THAT'S real fucking effective. Someone want to introduce me to a christopathic, creationist, knuckle-dragging redneck who knows what that word means?

After ranting about Chinese pickles and applesauce, and how we are now a Banana Republic, I was asked (perhaps rhetorically) what the world would think of us if McSurge was elected after two terms of an enemy of the state being our chief of state. (Yes. Dubya should be tried for treason here and war crimes abroad) I said that the world would wonder, once again, how we could be so god damned fucking Stupid.

I realize that the closer this election remains for longer periods of time, the more money the corporate media will make. I realize they have no interest in the best person becoming president. What I don't understand is how and/or why so few people seem to understand this. I wish the answer was that the polls and stats are just made up Bullshit, but two terms of fucktard tells me that may not be the case.

America needs to hear the word:

LIE

America needs to hear Obama say it.

The refucks, the McCainiacs, Fucks News: Hannity, will continue to lie with no shame, no self doubt, no fear of retribution or consequences until someone, and I don't mean a blogger with a readership of 30 on his best day, squares their shoulders, points to their chest, looks them in the eye and with no quaver in their voice, calls them what they are:

LIAR

There can be no other way.

Until then, they: the Hannities, the Bushies, the McCainiacs, the 3Mers, Palins, and those who follow and admire them, will continue to do what they do best: LIE with a straight face.

Enough!!!

They MUST be stopped

How do they do it? (corrected)

Refuckyoucans. They lie. I mean they LIIIIIIEEEEE... They're like....

Porpoises swimming along, playing in the waves at the bow of a boat... Dancing and swirling together with such ease. Totally effortless; not like salmon struggling their way up stream. I love watching them. So cool.

I've never gotten a good explanation of why they do it. The porpoises, I mean. Well the refucks too. But seriously, fishing boats, ferry boats... porpoises at the bow. They appear, like they have no choice. Like a moth to a flame.

Refucks: Bush: Does a pope shit in the woods? Cheney: Is the bear Catholic? McCain...Palin... Picking up right where they left off and possibly taking it to new... Heights? Depths? The Outer Limits? The TwiLie Zone?

Mavericks... change agents... fiscal conservatives... Oooo and look out lobbyists. at least the ones not on their payroll....?

Keith O chose Hannity as his Worst Person tonight for (drumroll) lying about Fucks News never saying Obama was Muslim. Riiiiiight. I commented over at DCup's the other day** about Hannity being my Most Hateful (Person in the World), because he lies with such ease... so prolifically... like a machine. But he's not the Only... He's just the best of the best at doing the worst. He even lives in his own little country: Hannity's America. Not even O'Lielly or Bloody Billy Kristol can boast that.

What is it though? Is it something genetic?

** I was at BlueGal's not DCup's but hey... read both of 'em

This is what you get

When you reach across the aisle.

When you cooperate with refuckyoucans.

When you give in to their demands.

When you embrace their version of bi partisanship.

You turn the Constitution and the Bill of Rights into toilet paper.

Writers like Art Thiel -- a sports writer mind you-- can criticize the Chinese for their practices during the Olympics:

The most embarrassing development was the creation of protest "pens," public places where grievances against the government or Olympics could be demonstrated. Intended as a cheap ploy to mollify the West, the pens became worse -- bait to lure complainers to their arrests.

and we can all agree and wag our finger and find ways to feel and express our supposed superiority, as if to recite our age-old chorus of, "I'm glad that can't happen here."

Well guess what Ostriches.

It's happening. And it's worse that what Thiel describes. FAR worse.

see Crooks and Liars... Glenn Greenwald... Firedoglake... want a video..?

How about some local viewpoints?

And people still vote for these assholes

Sleeping Joe Lies

I wonder what's going to become of this; if you belched, coughed or farted you probably missed it:

Holy Joe LIEberman, on Meet the Press, this morning mentioned "al Qaida in Iran." Kerry didn't say shit about it and neither did Brokaw. Proof that LIEberman is a Refuckyoucan.

I'm sure this is more than an, "Oh come on... Iran, Iraq, what's the difference? One letter. Let it go." Nope. This is another chapter/excuse for a war with Iran. Fuck Oh Dear, Peace? What's that?

This is how Refuckyoucan narratives start: A "slip" here or there, Fucks News picking up "the question," or the "some people say..." line and the next thing you know there's a manufactured "debate" going on. Proof that bullshit really does make things grow.

Dear Nancy,

Shut the fuck up! !!!




Who took impeachment off the table?

Who said, "No more blank checks," regarding funding his war? And then proceeded to write out blank checks...

Who failed to amend/overturn the Military Tribunals act that retroactively legalized torture and did away with Habeas Corpus? And legalized other war crimes as well...

Who allowed passage of the Protect America Act that allowed wiretaps without warrants in violation of FISA? Oh, but it had a sunset provision...

Who then decided the sun was about to set too early, or shouldn't set at all, and decided to permanently amend FISA not only for the future, but ex post facto as well?

on the other hand...

Who sat in power and never had to use a veto in six years as dictator preznit?

Who's only had to use nine vetoes since the '06 elections and had more than half of them stand?

Who gets away with routinely thumbing their nose at Congressional subpoenas and threats of contempt?

Fuck, I'm lazy so I'll just put it this way:

Who's basically gotten EVERYTHING he's wanted and more with the single exception of not getting to hand social security over to Wall Street?

Not you Nancy

So stop embarrassing good people like Dennis Kucinich and Chris Dodd and Russ Feingold and Bagdad Jim and others who really care enough about this country to actually fight for what's right instead of rolling over and hoping he'll rub your tits/belly.

If you had any fucking sense, you'd be humiliated.

Shut the fuck up.

Lotsa Time on my Hands Today

Had "trigger finger releases" done yesterday as part of the seemingly never ending saga that started with a carpal tunnel release, so I'm home. Yes I brought work home, but... that's like work, ya know..? Any wayyyyy...

Somewhere in all the memories of the talk about Fuckstain's Illegal Surveillance Act, I think it was Jonathon Turley, talking with Rachel Maddow as she filled in for Fascist-Enabler Keith Olberman, who said something about the true intent of this capitulation being a means of Congress covering up their complicity in Dubya's MANY illegal activities, domestic and international. This is not new. Check this out:



"Our" 2006 vote for change seems to be working out so fucking well..... Sheeyit.

Puzzled? ??? Surprised? ???

Then pack up and move to Stupidville.

Yes, I refer to McLiellan and his new book with the same old shit:

It wasn't my fault!!!

Was he fed lies?

No doubt.

Did he know this? At the time?

As I've said before: It's what they do, it's all they do,and they absolutely will not stop!
Yeah; Fucker knew.

Did he himself construct and tell lies?

He kept his job for a while didn't he? Ever watch one of his press briefings? Seventy pounds overweight and I don't sweat so much under heat lamps.
Obviously; Fucker lied.

So what the fuck? What do I think? I suppose I should say, otherwise why do I have a fucking blog, eh?

The fucker's a whore. He whored himself out to tell lies. For a liar. Doesn't matter how nice the furniture was in the whor....ite house lobby. Lying is lying; whoring is whoring; he did both and still is. Was he an escort for presidential verbiage? NO

He was and is a fucking WHORE !!!!!!

Gotta feed the wife and kids though; Although my wife has real skills.

I read the Paul O'Neill book, and a couple of others, but I have no desire to read this one; I can't see putting money into his little floozie garter belt. One BIG difference between this asswipe and O'Neill is that O'Neill was fired and refused to pose for the bullshit photos or play huggy-bear-kissy face in the rose garden afterward. The Dubya-McLiellan Boo Hoo scene making the rounds? It's bull shit. Dub fired his ass. anyway....

WHY do fuckers like this wait? ??? Values? ??? Loyalty? ???
To his Madaam. and of COURSE the almighty (devalued) dollar.
To the nation and constitution?
Fuck me with a taser, Pulleazzze.

Nothing in the book should be considered "news." It's just chin dribbles that hit the floor, and cum stains recovered from his laundry racing stripes.

If Scottie had ANY values or morals, he would have quit LONG ago and save this country a LOT of misery.
