anti handwashing republican with alleged KKK ties part of GOP blockage

Sen. Thom Tillis, (R-NC) – seen here with the blue tie with Sen. Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa) –  is one of the GOP lawmakers who have seemingly agreed to stop any Obama nominated judge from being confirmed until the president is out of office.

A year ago today Tillis, who was then a Freshman senator, was exposed as someone who thought it might be a good idea to let restaurants “opt out” of the requirement that its employees wash their hands after using the restroom.

“I don’t have any problem with Starbucks if they choose to opt out of this policy as long as the post a sign that says ‘We don’t require our employees to wash their hands after leaving the restrooms.’ The market will take care of that,” Tillis said. There’s even video of him saying it clearly on C-SPAN.

“That’s probably one where every business that did that would go out of business,” he added. “But I think it’s good to illustrate the point that that’s the sort of mentality that we need to have to reduce the regulatory burden on this country.”

handwashingThat’s correct, the senator thinks that the law requiring one to washing ones hands after taking a dump is a burden.

Just a few months ago the hacktivist group Anonymous claimed the Republican from Huntersville is involved with the KKK. Tillis was among a list of political figures that the group claimed had ties with the hate group.

While the allegation has yet to be proven, Tillis is in favor of strict North Carolina voter ID laws that have been proven to keep minorities from voting. Tillis argues that such voting laws curb “widespread” voting fraud, but the enemy of many Republicans, science, has shown that of 1 billion votes cast since 2000 just 31 cases have been proven to be fraudulent.

Regardless, Tillis is one of the GOP lawmakers who voted against the confirmation of Wilhelmina Wright, an African-American judge who was successfully confirmed as an Associate Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court; which many in the GOP says will be one of the last of the Obama-appointed judges to be confirmed this year.

“There is a point at which, traditionally, no additional judicial nominees are considered until the election,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX), said referring to the election in November.

In 2015, the Republican-controlled Senate confirmed a mere 173 total civilian nominees, according to the Congressional Research Service, about 100 fewer than were confirmed in 2007 when a Democratic Senate took over during the last two years of George W. Bush’s presidency.

why donald trump will lose by one vote from being president

donald trump

we all have self esteem issues.

which is great otherwise we’d all be insufferable assholes.

the fact that donald trump truly believes that he will build a wall

a great wall

and have mexico pay for it is rooted in the same belief he has

that he would make a great president of the united states

even though he would be a disaster

and probably gang-stabbed by the masses like caesar before his first term was over.

he is winning in the polls because he is winning in our hearts.

he is the voice that we wish we had when we are hit with tough obstacles

“my haters love me. my opponents are losers. my whole life’s on fleek.”

“i can’t be bought.”

only that last thing matters.

because money (and not great ideas) makes the world go round,

everyone else in the race has to pretend that corporations and evildoers are

not

lining their pockets with literally millions and millions of dollars.

we always knew that was fucked up but we resigned ourselves to the concept

that money is speech and there was nothing else we can do to stop it.

theres always a way.

and the new way is hire a billionaire.

but unlike most billionaires, donald trump has a way with words.

he’s also believable, entertaining, and weirdly the guy next door.

we’ve definitely sat next to a loud mouth like him at a ball game.

his only problem is he has no experience in this realm, he takes bad advice,

and many fear he is a little too trigger happy in regards to nuking countries who also have nukes.

what donald trump is doing, though, is pushing the envelope so wide that someone

who once would have seemed super radical

next to trump, seems palatable.

that super radical is def not secretary clinton

but it’s bernie sanders,

the sort of crazy this country just might need right now.

if you dont think america is nuts you arent paying attention

voted for bush twice, then obama twice

and its allowing there to be a discussion about the DH in the NL.

if you drug tested this nation its piss would be dirtier than tap water from flint michigan.

the only thing american like better to do than watch football, buy guns and drink bud light

is voting for the most extreme person running for president

we want the world and we want it now

larry david is going to have the best

four years ever

a hilarious video, or a dopey photo, it’s two paragraphs:

I agree with the Repubs, daughter’s pregnancy is private, just as abortion, gay marriage, euthanasia, and recreational drug use are private matters that should be beyond government and politics.

If you parade yourself around as a moral person, Moral Majority, focus on the family, etc… than you should be held to your own standards. Obviously if you preach that abstinence only education works and then your daughter gets pregnant at 17 you don’t know what you are talking about and should shut up or put up with people pointing out your hypocrisy. The same should hold true of economic policy. The Right Wing Pundits who have been saying that the war is going to be a cake walk, and the economy is doing fine, and that the christian right has the monopoly on morals, should all have their heads down in shame. – crashkg

theres a lot right in those paragraphs and a lot wrong. so lets get to the wrong parts first.

privacy isnt a partisan issue. neither is morality. along those lines there are parents who vote for all sorts of politicians who dont want their children being taught about sex in schools.

with that said, there are those on the right who do try to play up the moral issue in regards to abortion and birth control.

however in my book if you are a young woman having sex and you live in a house with no condoms i wouldnt call your happy little accident that gets you knocked up and rushed to the altar immoral. i would call the pressure to make you have that baby and get married immoral, if indeed that is/was the case – which i hope it wasnt.

i dont think that sex is immoral and i read the bible pretty close and it doesnt say it is either. what it does say is immoral, is judging.

thanks to the fact that there are sooooo many people on this planet, clearly some of us are going to have different beliefs than others.

you might want to teach your little angels about sex at a young age and have it be part of your ongoing conversation so that it doesnt seem all that bizarre to them (good luck), or you might want to wait till your kids are already well in to puberty/rebellion/experimentation to discuss the birds n bees and then suggest that they simply ignore their raging hormones and natural curiosities (good luck).

the bible doesnt say that either of those techniques are better than the other, but it does say we should love our neighbors and we shouldnt judge them.

likewise i agree that if people like ann althouse and michelle malkin cringe that we are all up in the palin family’s ladyparts perhaps now they know what its like for gays and lesbians who simply want to be married. how come little teen bristol can get hitched to her high school beau just because she had unprotected sex, but adult men and women in lifelong committed relationships have to fight and struggle for that very same right?

what does it matter to you if the palins have babies? likewise what does it matter to you when adults want to get married?

unlike the author at reddit, i dont think that this is a time for anyone to hang their head in shame, i think its an ideal time for people to consider raising their eyes up in enlightenment.

yes, no one deserves privacy more than bristol palin. and no one deserves it less either.

everclear is going to play guantanamo bay

the LA Times blog Soundboard has a long interview with Art, the singer. These were my favorite parts.

Are they going to let you see any other parts of Cuba while you’re there?

I asked them if I could go into Cuba, and they told me no. I get to go to the fence that separates it from the base. I would love to go. I want to go to Havana big time. It’s a moment out of time with all these ’50s cars driving around. You know that when the Castro brothers die, its going to turn into Disneyland over there. I wanted to see Cuba, but I also wanted to go over there to get a pulse of the soldiers that were there about what happened [in the prison]: What their family’s viewpoint on being at Guantanamo is about, and are they proud to be there? Do they think they’re doing a good thing? Are they ashamed? They’re put there, and there isn’t much you can do about it in the armed forces. I’ve got a song I’m thinking about playing there for the first time, called “Jesus Was a Democrat.”

Wow, really? What kind of ideas led up to that?

It’s actually a pretty flagrant challenge to the conservative view of Jesus. Even if you’re not a Christian, if you read Jesus’ words in the Bible, there’s nothing conservative about him. He was a full-on liberal. There’s a line in it that goes, “Jesus would be locked up in Guantanamo Bay if he were alive today.” I consider myself Christian but not in any traditional sense. I was brought up in a serious evangelical home, and always had problems with Christianity, like there was something great there, but that I wasn’t seeing it. I see why most people, especially young people, are afraid of Christians. There’s a line in the song that says, “I wonder if Jesus is as afraid of Christians as I am?” They’re scary!

How do you think it’ll go over in Guantanamo Bay, a place you cite in the song as imprisoning Jesus?

What happened in Guantanamo Bay, that was blood-chilling to me. It goes to show you that anyone can get caught up in it, anyone can be the bad guy. Any collection of people from any culture. It was sobering for a lot of people. It was sobering for me. I’ve got a daughter who’s 16, and I don’t think she’d ever go into the service, and I’d fight her if she did, but if she does, what’s my perspective then?

I’m just trying to be compassionate and put myself in the other guy’s shoes. This song is pretty angry. I think we’re in better place now than in ‘88, when I worked on the Dukakis campaign canvassing, but I was so pissed at Republicans, that conservatives co-opted the term “family values”; they made being a liberal a bad word. I’m an ACLU card-carrying liberal. I have no bones about it. I might be conservative on some things, but you’re going to tell me that to have family values I have to glom on to your way of thinking? No way!

At least now I’m not alone. The great thing about [Barack] Obama, he’s unabashedly a liberal or a progressive. Isn’t that great? Even in the Clinton administration, no one was using the word “liberal,” they were using the “moderate” word. Seems like in the last few elections, the right has pulled the left to the center, and now it seems like the left has pulled right center. [John] McCain started playing ball with the Bush administration, thinking he could ride his coattails if he got the call. Now, it’s dragging him down.

– and he’ll probably win

many moons ago i was lucky enough to meet mr dan grant. he was interviewing for a job and i happened to be the guy who was hiring. dan was a dashing, funny, incredibly sharp gentleman who seemed like a throwback to a better time when men were well-rounded and intelligent and worldly and bright.

for some reason dan reminded me sort of like a sober dean martin – handsome, suave, witty, and completely personable.

of course i hired him and he worked for us for about a year i think and right as the internet boom was begining to collapse and it became my job to lay people off, dan volunteered to part ways with us so that we could save one job of someone who wanted to stay on board.

dan, you see, had arranged to move to Kosovo to help ensure fair democratic voting procedures. Dan later went to Bosnia to help usher in democracy, and a few years later went to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Remember all of those pictures of people in Iraq voting and then dipping their finger in purple ink? Dan Grant was part of that.

Grant has an unusually strong grounding in small-d democracy and foreign affairs. In Iraq, his duties included helping the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq prepare and conduct the historic elections of 2005. He consulted with international military forces and local leaders in Basra, Fallujah, and Mosul.

As deputy director of Iraq’s largest out-of-country voting program, Grant oversaw an unprecedented effort to give democracy a chance in the Middle East by registering eligible voters in major U.S. cities for Iraq’s Transitional National Assembly election. He oversaw a staff of more than a thousand and a budget of millions of dollars and ran the day-to-day operations of all senior personnel.

In Afghanistan, Grant helped coordinate security and policy planning for that nation’s post-Taliban constitutional convention on the behalf of USAID, and previously served as an operations officer for the massive effort to re-establish Afghanistan’s Central Bank. – Dan Grant for Congress: About

Today he is running for the Democrat nominee for congress in Austin, Texas. he has gotten the support of pretty much every important group in town from the local papers (Austin American-Statesman, Houston Chronicle, The Austin Chronicle, Daily Texan) to the unions to the people who ran for congress before him.

this is how the Austin-Statesman described him when they endorsed him:

Grant Best Choice for Democrats

The 10th Congressional District is a gerrymandered jumble rambling from Austin’s western edge to the Houston suburbs. The design is a creation of the Legislature’s 2003 redistricting, ordered by then U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to remake Texas and the 10th District as a Republican redoubt.

But Democrats have been making inroads in recent elections, and there are two strong Democrats running in the March 4 primary for the 10th District seat. Dan Grant, 34, an astute and prepared young man from Austin, and Larry Joe Doherty, 61, a Houston lawyer who plays a judge on a television courtroom show, have mounted solid campaigns.

Though either Grant or Doherty will give Republican incumbent Michael McCaul a good fight, Grant brings more to the primary election contest. He has youth, vigor and deep experience serving in some of the world’s most dangerous places, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia and Kosovo. Grant has received virtually all of the endorsements from Democratic constituencies in the meandering district.

Grant is a graduate of McCallum High School and Georgetown University, where he received a degree in foreign service. He also has a master’s degree from the London School of Economics and served as a civilian in various positions overseas.

it’s terribly exciting to see someone you actually know continue to rule and do it solely for the benefit of others. as you watch the results trickle in tonight, keep an eye on the 10th district in Texas and see if our boy beats the actor best known for his role in the tv show Texas Justice.

looks like he will win. and when i make it to austin later this week it will be pretty awesome if i get to shake the hand of a nominee for congress and be able to say, i knew that guy way back when only hundreds of people knew he was awesome. now tens of thousands know it and will probably vote for him. stay tuned.

does it please me to watch the instapundit

simpsonsdrop like a stone

wasnt it just a year ago that he was still in the technorati top 10 and now hes #86 with no end in sight?

of course it does.

its a perfect lesson to the kids out there. no one wants to read bullshit. no one is interested in modern day propaganda any more.

its also an excellent lesson that if youre wrong about everything, you lose

but worse, if youre right about libertarianism and conservatism, but you fail to embrace The libertarian conservative in the race

then youve probably just been a huge liar the whole time

and blogs arent where you go for lies.

you go there to find out what people really think.

you go there to read the words of the courageous.

now, if you ask me if im pleased that whats replaced the instapundits id have to say no. especially the sites that pretend they know how to make money off blogging, but moreso the people who go there.

lets be honest about making money with blogging – only the very very very very few do it. and half of them dont know how it worked out that way. in that sense its like pop music. either the kids are buying your bullshit or theyre not.

it cannot be contrived. and going to those sites and trying to contrive your blog is a royal waste of time and an insult to the medium.

if you want to make money at blogging you have to be a good blogger. the way you become a good blogger is you blog good for a long time. sorry.

but heres the good news. unlike other things like piano playing or weightlifting or oil painting – anyone really can be a very good blogger. it doesnt matter what school you went to, how poorly you write, how shitty your design is, or how crappy your computer is.

if you blog every day and keep changing things and keep growing. and keep talking to people and writing to people and being part of the blogosphere, you too can be successful.

start with writing every day for fifteen minutes. if you cant do that write for five minutes without hitting the enter key. lets go

its 110am i shouldnt have smoked that joint with her. who smokes joints in a house anyways? joints are for outside. joints are for little sneaky situations.

for surprises like youre on a sailboat freezing your ass off cuz its october and when you get into the little baby galley someone pulls a joint out and says hey look what i found. thats what joints are for. not hey lets oprah stoned. oprah is fatter stoned, fyi.

its 111am. how on earth did i write all that in a minute and change. ok lets talk about the yankees.

fuck the yankees.

it makes me so happy that they spent a quarter billion dollars and nothing. it makes me so happy that they still have no concept how important pitching is. how do you keep making that mistake year after year? ted lilly on the yankees might have changed everything. i bet it woulda.

113am she snores like an old man. her body catches her snoring and tries to shut it off, then the head leans back and there it gets cranking again. whoops it caught itself.

am i the only person whose body actually goes to sleep like passes out when its asleep like no catching like no dreaming just pitch black silence death? only if i have the radio on do i stir in my sleep but if i hit the sleep button properly once im out im dead to the world and i dont even move unless moved. but this one, motion even when sleeping. nuts.

ding.

aka How Open Source Media Got Its Name

almost exactly a year ago today the Defense Science Board recommended that the Department of Defense start infiltrating, among other things… blogs.

Because the US Military cannot legally spread propaganda within America the Science Board suggested that it get into paying off international tv, creating video games… and even sneaking into chat rooms to spread the good news of the US forces.

The Science Board stated:

Subcontracting to the commercial and academic sectors for a range of products and programs that communicate strategic themes and messages to appropriate target audiences. Broad themes and messages would include respect for human dignity and individual rights; for individual education and economic opportunity; and for personal freedom, safety, and mobility. Examples of products would be a children’s TV series (Arabic Sesame Street); video and interactive games; support for the distribution and production of selected foreign films; and Web communications including blogs, chat rooms, and electronic journals. (pg 67-68)

the Science Board suggested that DoD set up a Center for Strategic Communication at the price of $250 million a year …

The Center should receive core funding that supports steady state operations through a Congressional line item in the Department of State’s annual appropriation. Funds appropriated to the Center should be placed in a revolving fund in the U.S. Treasury without fiscal year limitation.

The Center’s core funding would support basic operations (staff and administration), information and analysis (polling, media research, cultural studies), maintenance of databases and skills inventories, and self-initiated projects and programs. The Task Force estimates that at least $100 million would be necessary to sustain the Center’s core mission and operations. An additional $150 million is recommended for projects and programs the Center would develop through contracts with the commercial and academic sectors as directed NSC’s Deputy Advisor for Strategic Communication. Additional funding for projects and programs would be provided through contracts and task orders from the Strategic Communication Committee’s departments and agencies. (p. 68)

This is a report that likens CNN with Al Jazeera as they attempt to persuade the DoD that the same digital technology that bit them in the ass at Abu Grhaib can be their tool if they only used it and bypassed traditional news channels…

Al Jazeera, CNN, and other television networks dominate discussion of the information and media environment. But a host of information technologies — in addition to satellite TV — are creating greater global transparency: cell phones, wireless handhelds, videophones, camcorders, digital cameras, miniaturized fly away units used by TV crews in remote locations, high resolution commercial space imaging, blogs, and email. Many are cheap; costs are declining.

These technologies have consequences for all three stakeholders in strategic communication: governments, media, and publics. Policymakers, diplomats, and military leaders face more breaking news from more places in a reactive mode.

Journalists rely less on “institutionally based news” (i.e., official sources, press conferences). Publics (i.e., NGOs, image activists, soldiers with digital cameras) can drive perceptions and policies with pictures and stories.

Transparency creates threats and opportunities – and changes in the strategy/tactics dynamic. Tactical events can instantly become strategic problems (digital cameras in Abu Ghraib). (p.19)

and the more the Science Board recommends, the more they suggest they increase the budgets regarding “public diplomacy”…

The Department’s current funding for public diplomacy (approximately $600 million), is substantially less in real terms than public diplomacy budgets during the Cold War.

When combined with the BBG’s international broadcasting budget (also approximately $600 million) the public diplomacy budget totals $1.2 billion. The Task Force recommends the Department’s public diplomacy funding be increased to $1.8 billion resulting in a total public diplomacy budget of $2.4 billion.

In addition the BBG has requested increases in funding. The Task Force also supports increased BBG funding for web based broadcasting services and those radio and television services where research and program reviews demonstrates significant audiences for news and public affairs programming.

So what does this have to do with the the web based broadcasting services of Pajamas Media? They’re an American company, and the law says you can’t spread propaganda in America.

Well, havent you ever wondered why exactly PM has “Fresh Baked Daily” from France, or articles about China being written by the PM “staff” in Barcelona? Or the Venezuelan elections being covered by the PM “staff” in Sydney? One might assume that once those offices are properly staffed – enough, say, to actually give these staffers real bylines with trivial things like their name – instead of pretending something other than what is probably the case which is it’s one dude in Barcelona or one chickie in Sydney – they would be able to deliver their propaganda while not physically being located in the USA where it’d be illegal.

Also when you consider the $100 million given to Lincoln Group to do exactly what the Science Board recommended above, the $3.5 million of investment to the Pajamas is a drop in the bucket compared to how much the Board told the DoD to spend.

But what’s truly bizarre is the Science Board planted the seed as to what Pajamas Media should call themselves

Regional web sites aimed at providing open source information supporting the U.S. Government and Coalition policies have been proposed by U.S. European Command (eucom) and U.S. Central Command (centcom). (p. 79)

that Open Source information, however, needs to be from reliable sources, not just one web site, but several, the report said on page 27: “The U.S. needs trusted, reliable web sites conducive to dialogue on political, intellectual, and cultural levels.”

Less than a year later, a collective of trusted, reliable websites conducive to dialogue on political, intellectual and cultural levels was born, and they called themselves Open Source Media.

absolutely and purely coincidentally.

condi rice was on this week

80s hair girlswith george stephanopoulos this morning and if ever there was proof that the myth of a liberal media is false, this morning was it.

stephanopoulos of course the lil greek wonderboy who helped president clinton get elected into the white house back in 92 had the opportunity to ask the very capable secretary of state some of the hard questions about the Downing Street Memos which should be very troubling to american voters, especially those who watch and tivo sunday morning political talk shows, whod like to think that their government isnt deciding to blow shit up without at least asking if they could first.

instead he showed a clip of an american mother who lost her son testifying that the memos tell us everything that we already knew, that BushCo entered into an illegal invasion based on a pack of lies and “cherry-picked intelligence”.

now most PR spinners would first acknowledge the deep loss that the mother is obviously experiencing, discount the memo roundly, and then conclude with a one sentence flip about how there are thousands of kurdish and kuwaiti mothers who are probably quite happy that saddam is gone and grateful to brave american soldiers who continue to fight for freedoms of strangers around the globe.

instead, in a bizarre series of consecutive comments, Condi says that we went there because of saddams Weapons of Mass Destruction!

Rice: I can only say what the President has said many many times. The United States of America, and its coalition decided that it was finally time to deal with the threat of Saddam Hussein.

There had been multiple resolutions against Saddam Hussein and his activities, everything from

– his concerns of weapons of mass destruction programs

– his continued unwillingness to answer the legitimate questions of the international system about those programs.

– his having used weapons of mass destruction in the past

…

Saddam Hussein is gone and that is a good thing

the wonderboy never followed up with the obvious, “so the ends justify the means, even if its illegal and possibly worthy of an impeachment?”

did the lil fella say, “hey you didnt even address the downing street memo or the mother who thinks her son died in vain over lies?”

did george stephanopoulos say, “what was unique about saddam and the fantasy that he had wmd compared to the real cadre of wmd from other tyrants like those in china and north korea? why do you think bush and blair had a hard-on for hussein and no one else? was it because they felt that was a war that they could win, one that would distract people from the fact that they couldnt find osama, or do you think it was bush vengance reaching back from the time that saddam put a bounty on #41?”

did stephablahblous ask the secretary if our fear was wmds and if we were doing everyone a favor by ridding the world of saddam, now that hes been gone for over a year now, and now that the wmd havent been there for over a decade, why are we still spending millions and american lives to stay there? did he ask wtf is our excuse now?

sadly friends, those are only the questions that get asked on the busblog.

sad, not because theyd be controversial and titillating, but because condi rice is one of the few people in the cabinet who could actually handle questions like those and if i were in the white house i would want her to answer those questions, particularly because george is such a softball interviewer and so incredibly terrified of being associated with the Clintons and therefore overcompensates by taking it easy on Rice but sticking it to Michael Moore.

with all that said, and as disappointed i am in george, as well as in condi for giving such bogus answers, i highly recommend The War Room, the behind the scenes doc of the Clinton campaign of 92, the last time stephanopoulos was relevant. watch as he is easily overshadowed by the far more likeable and at times dazzling james carvel.

oh and the gitmo merch? from the wacky compassionate conservatives over at time magazine’s blog of the year, powerblog, who will look you square in the eye and tell you that theyre moral, upstanding, pro-life, pro-democracy, rule-of-law, Christians who are just kidding around. cuz y’know torture, illegal prison camps, and profiting from 9/11 is so funny.

and dont be fooled, the only thing more clueless are the sober bloggers and blog readers who will no doubt support such bad taste whose roots are hateful, ignorant, and unamerican through and through.

you’d think a respected blog run by three lawyers would be more interested in denouncing the illegalities that gitmo is all about as opposed to profiting from it. but i guess once an ambulance-chasing unscrupulous opportunist, always an ambulance-chasing unscrupulous opportunist.

the thing about the jeff gannon thing

that fascinates me is how similar it is to a book i read last year called Pimp by Iceberg Slim.

the book was written by a former pimp who detailed his rise and fall in the 40s. i loaned it to several friends who came back with varied opinions.

most said, i still dont understand why a woman would go out and whore herself and give all the money to a man who would beat her and treat her like shit.

it made me wonder if they had read the same book that i had read.

in it, Slim clearly states that there are some people who are tyrannical manipulative violent cutthorats who will use everything that they can to convince their bitches that the only way they can live right is to do what their pimp tells them to do.

and then there are the people who lay on their backs and get fucked by the seediest filthiest “johns” in the world and take it, cuz its easier that way. cuz most are lazy and spineless and scared, and therefore easy.

BushCo could re-write Pimp if they wanted. they shook down america, stole, lied, fucked, bashed, and told the country to go out there and get that money.

the red states were all “im a whore anyway, at least i like my pimp daddy.”

the blue states were all “ow it hurts getting fucked in the ass, but nobody will listen when i say stop.”

and the press just write down the tales, the unbelievable stories, the ridiculous truths and they listen when the pimp says, quit calling me a pimp, call me a liberator.

and the bitches do it.

and they allow anyone who dares stand up against it to get ridiculed.

even when the pimp went after dan rather the press just laid on its back, closed its eyes and covered its ears thinking, at least hes not after me at least hes not after me. as if this pimp has a strong pimp hand. obl doesnt seem afraid of it. france doesnt seem afraid of it. china and n. korea and definately s. arabia doesnt seem afraid of it.

but the press lay there like little bitches so afraid of what BushCo will think and now trembling before the bloggers who will fact check their asses, not completely, of course, but enough to stir up enough dust that it will get messy.

first thing rather should have done was say, fuck the authenticity of the doc in question, what about the contents. i can show you a forged US Constitution, but that doesnt mean the contents are invalid. but cbs is a whore begging for a pimp. dying to get told what to do.

just like gannon.

just like all of em.

where was the member of the press who stood up and said, excuse me mr president but bullshit.

bullshit on your weapons of mass destruction, bullshit on not finding osama, bullshit on spending your way into the biggest deficit of all time, bullshit on flat out lying about the state of the social security situation, bullshit on your manwhore jeff gannon, and bullshit on you being a fucking puppet ass fuck.

everyone is a whore to something, his robot head would have uttered after it blew apart, smoke pluming out of its ears.

everyone

everyone.

why do you hate america so much?

i have protected you, i have brought back the economy, i have rid iraq of saddam, and i even kept howard stern on the air

for your whining, ungrateful, uneducated, busriding, rum-drinking, slander-shucking black ass.

to be honest i dont find myself reading very much. but i do like pictures that you put on your blog and the other day i saw that picture you put up comparing my medals with senator kerry’s medals, and the colors were very pretty.

but why did you have to echo the daily kos and the democratic underground? you rip the instapundit for linking drudge and you link the DU?

FU!

and then you posted it on metafilter?

FU squared!

i dont care that the Air Force is now confirming that it’s true, that one of those medals i’m wearing in the picture is not mine.

you think anyone is gonna give a rats ass that i wore a medal that i didnt earn? they didnt care when i stole the election did they? they didnt give a fuck when i didnt find any wmd’s or osama.

they dont care about the deficit or my missing national guard records. they dont care about gas prices. they didnt care when i tried to stop the 9/11 committe from happening, they didnt care when i tried to make kissinger the head of the committe,

they didnt care when i redacted 28 pages from the first 9/11 report about the saudis and how they funded the terrorists, they didnt care that i tried to stop condi from testifying to the commission,

they didnt care when i refused to testify in public or alone

shit motherfucker they didnt care the other day when i said the war was unwinable and they really didnt give a fuck when i flip flopped the next day and said it was totally winable.

you know why glenn reynolds called the mainstream media “biased — and strongly in favor of a Democrat” yesterday in the wall street journal? not because they attack me and are always on my ass, no, thats a republican trait

he called them “lazy” because it’s true, they Are all a bunch of pot smoking hippies too unmotivated to get off their peace loving commie asses and challenge me on something. Anything.

i could snort a line of blow off oprahs fat ass on national tv and those slackers wouldnt say boo.

and if one of those mumbling homos did say anything i would just say blahblahblah and theyd shut the fuck up like the bitches they are and you know what: good. quit getting in the way of freedom, fucking longhairs.

every now and then someone will stand up and say what about gay marriage?

and im so tempted to say how the fuck could you listen to phish but instead i say blahblah and they sit back down like good little boys and girls.

i dont give press conferences tony not because im afraid i will fuck up, but because theyre so very dull and tedious and troublesome.

thats why theyre rarely televised. america fucking hates them too.

zell miller could teach you an awful lot, my friend. zell co-sponsored both of my tax cuts for the rich, swore not to run again for senate as a democrat,

and said he’d back me for president back in october of last year way back when there were still nine other democrats running for the nomination and howard dean was still in the lead.

he even went on the Sean Hannity show and called them “the naive nine” of whom he didnt trust any.

this was when he was out hawking his book knocking the democratic party, the one where he called the at-the-time front-running howard dean “shallow.”

well, after last night’s unbelievable speech, he got on chris matthews show and not only talked a good game but threatend to kick matthews’s ass like 3-4 times, ending it with wishing that he lived in the days where you could duel another man.

heres the video if you dont believe me.

which you never do.

and that hurts me a little, inside, too.

zell’s hurt me in the past. in march of 2002, just three years ago he introduced sen. kerry at dinner and called Kerry a great leader who “worked to strengthen our military, boost the economy and protect the environment.”

miller even called kerry “one of this nation’s authentic heroes.”

it’s a speech that i have politely asked him to remove from his official web site, but he refuses.

as you say, whatev, none of you pansies will care about this either.

nor will you care that in 1992 at a different convention, the democrat convention, miller was just as animated, just as earnest, and just as lively about how people should vote against my pappy, but for bill clinton.

it was during that speech that i said to myself, if only i could get a guy like that to speak for me one day.

well that day just came, funny man.

and now i get to do some speeching of my own.

i recommend that you do like americas newest favorite great grampa zell miller and get in line.

nothing the terrorists like better than loose lipped liberals making this great great country look soft and divided.

i call upon you tony pierce to stop hating on me and calling me retarded.

i call upon you to ask yourself if youre getting more hits today than you were four years ago.

and i call upon all nations to do everything they can to stop these terrorist killers.

now watch me hit this drive.

incredibly the instapundit “changed channels” before zell challenged matthews to the duel and flipped back, therefore has no comment on the meltdown
