    Former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s testimony was a dagger in the heart of Alberto Gonzales, and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

  4. 4

    If we time this just right, we can make sure Alberto goes to trial just AFTER we dethrone the Bush regime, therefore making sure a Democratic President keeps the heat on the investigation and eliminates a pardon for this piece of shit!

    I guess the best hurricane forecaster on the fucking planet is a “denier”.

    “Despite a fairly inactive 2006 hurricane season, we believe that the Atlantic basin is currently in an active hurricane cycle associated with a strong thermohaline circulation and an active phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). This active cycle is expected to continue for another decade or two at which time we should enter a quieter Atlantic major hurricane period like we experienced during the quarter century periods of 1970-1994 and 1901-1925. Atlantic hurricanes go through multi-decadal cycles. Cycles in Atlantic major hurricanes have been observationally traced back to the mid-19th century, and changes in the AMO have been inferred from Greenland paleo ice-core temperature measurements going back at least one thousand years.”

    Bout time to try this…

    Moonbat quiz: Why was Bill Clinton impeached?

    1) BJs in the oval office.
    2) Because he lied to grand jury in a failed attempt to conceal a lifelong pattern of predatory behavior in connection with a felony assault case that he settled for $800,000.

  9. 9

    7 – Neither. Bill Clinton’s “high crime or misdemeanor” was NOT lying to get this country into a war or wiping his ass with the constitution – it was not being truthful about a consensual affair that in any was immaterial to the Paula Jones case or the Ken Starr witchhunt.

    The true “high crime” was an out-of-control partisan majority in the House of Representatives wiping their collective asses with the Constitution they all swore to uphold.

    Anyone who can’t see that is simply an uneducated moron.

    Hey Mark, ever correct the lie you posted about Senator Murray and the allocation of Homeland defense funds?

    Remember, last night?

    Didn’t think so.

    Hey MTR read some more about your current hero:

    “However, as Colorado Media Matters has noted, a wide variety of sources have called into question Gray’s “expertise” on the subject of climate change. For example, a May 28, 2006, profile of Gray by Washington Post Magazine staff writer Joel Achenbach reported that the weblog Real Climate — produced by scientists who support the scientific consensus that global warming is caused by human activities — “criticized Gray for not adapting to the modern era of meteorology, ‘which demands hypotheses soundly grounded in quantitative and consistent physical formulations, not seat-of-the-pants flying.’ ” The profile also noted that “when you press him [Gray] on his theory of how thermohaline circulation has caused recent warming of the planet and will soon cause cooling, he concedes that he hasn’t published the idea in any peer-reviewed journal. He’s working on it, he says.”

    Criticism of Gray’s “theory” has not been limited to supporters of the scientific consensus on global warming. Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor of meteorology Richard S. Lindzen — whom Achenbach described as the global warming skeptic with “probably … the most credibility among mainstream scientists” — said of Gray: “His knowledge of theory is frustratingly poor.”

    Although James predicted that Gore would call Gray “a Nazi” for his skepticism over global warming, it was Gray who was quoted as saying, “Gore believed in global warming almost as much as Hitler believed there was something wrong with the Jews.” Gray has since reportedly expressed regret for that comment.”

    Cut n’ pasted from Media Matters.

    2) Because he lied to grand jury in a failed attempt to conceal a lifelong pattern of predatory behavior in connection with a felony assault case that he settled for $800,000.

    Look, moron. He didn’t lie. Your allegation about a ‘lifelong pattern’ is piffle. It was not a felony assault case. The settlement was for $850,000.

    So answer this: If nude exhibitionist Jones and her well financed right wingnut handlers had a real case, why did they settle for peanuts and no admission of guilt or no apology?

    Answer that, you fucking idiot.

    K@ 11: “Hey Mark, ever correct the lie…..”

    Sorry to tell you, K, pathological liars like MTR are incapable of grasping that concept.

  16. 16

    So how ’bout we change the subject….

    Any reason we shouldn’t turn Prudhoe Bay and the North Slope into part of the Strategic Petroleum and Naval Petroleum Reserves?

  17. 17

    @2 The interesting thing about those phony voter registrations is that it was a moneymaking scheme that didn’t result in any illegal votes being cast. They fished names out of phone books. If those individuals were already registered to vote, they were legal voters. If they weren’t, they didn’t even know they had been “registered” and wouldn’t have tried to vote.

    Nice try, Redneck. This isn’t a vote-fraud case, it’s a financial fraud case, and ACORN is the victim, not the perpetrator. They need a better business model. Paying street people to register voters on a piece-rate basis invites fraud.

    And guess what? Tim Eyman uses the SAME business model — he pays signature gatherers by the signature, not by the hour. If that invites fraud when ACORN does it, then it seems to me it would invite fraud when Eyman does it, too.

  18. 18

    So Redneck, your point about hurricanes is what? That global warming doesn’t exist? Are you a certified Flat Earther? You’re definitely a Head Up Your Asser. Pay your fucking gambling debt, freeloader!

  19. 19

    @7 What felony was Clinton charged with, Redneck? Can you name the prosecutor who filed the felony charges? What court was that in?

  20. 20

    Hey Redneck! If perjury is a big deal when Clinton does it, why do you blow it off when Gonzales does it?

  23. 23

    Heh, if Naval Ships run on Nukes….

    How come Sound transit doesn’t?

    So answer this: If nude exhibitionist Jones and her well financed right wingnut handlers had a real case, why did they settle for peanuts and no admission of guilt or no apology?

    Answer that, you fucking idiot.

    Easy. Because all the witnesses were Clinton operatives who couldn’t remember…. sort of like this:

    Number of times that Clinton figures who testified in court or before Congress said that they didn’t remember, didn’t know, or something similar.
    Bill Kennedy 116
    Harold Ickes 148

    Yeah but the KCRE doesn’t check the signatures where as the State meticulously checks Eyeman signatures. You can bet that Eyeman had more than enough signatures to get his initiative on the ballot. KCRE…. that’s a different story. And I should know, I registered using my paw print. roof roof ..Good boy.. panting.

    Hey Lee, interesting “Rapture” info.

    I’ve been on several message boards. Granted, I’m an Agnostic, (burned out on the Christian stuff as a child cause it never fit my beliefs). I could never understand WHY the Republicans and many of the good Christians were so hell bent on ruining/legislating against the Environment.

    Frankly, I don’t do nature walks. However, I DO recycle fervently. Actually, I was the first in my neighborhood to ask for a recycle bucket when it first was an experimental trial option in W. Seattle – even told the other neighbors in my 4-plex they could put stuff in my bin so they didn’t have to haul such heavy garbage cans out to the alley. And the neighbor ladies helped me fill my recycle bin, just to keep me happy. It was a bearcat hauling that bin down the stairs, but I always believed it was worth the effort.

    I don’t have kids/grandkids. But it only makes sense to try to save as much of this planet as we can, so other people’s grandkids might live a little better future.

    So WHY, I asked at those message boards, did the Republicans appear to legislate so much to ruin the planet? Refuse to comprehend birth control, Global Warming, negate any nuclear controls, destroy Cariboo birthing grounds – – without so much as a backward glance?

    Some fairly well read, APPARENTLY not mentally disturbed, and seriously religious folks, pretty much said it’s because of the Rapture. World’s going to come to an end anyway so we might as well make it happen cause it’s predicted in the Bible. Gotta tell you Lee, this Rapture BS is truly scary stuff! What if Man is wrong about the Date of Deletion and whatever Supreme Being is up there saying: “Gotcha!!” ?

    What wall did you peel that bullshit off of? Stefan’s pathetic little blog? You’re entitled to your opinion, but you’re not entitled to make up your own facts:

    “The King County investigation began after election workers … spotted apparently forged voter-registration cards turned in by the community-organizing group ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.”

    Sure looks to me like KING COUNTY ELECTION WORKERS caught these guys, not you or Stefan or anyone else! So, of course, you lie about it … either because you’re too lazy to do any research, or because you don’t want to admit the system works and KCRE does a pretty good job.

    Dogs suck.

    That video is truly frightening. I go to church more often than not, and that is why I am a liberal. The people speaking at the conference on the video haven’t a clue what the New Testament says.

    Big woopy. They catch a bunch of known cheaters. If you think that erases all the sins of the past along with the 2004 governor debacle you are a ….. well a donk. Only a lib would defend the KCRE. We repubs need more Jane Baloughs to shine to light on a corrupt King County.

  41. 41

    Actually its worse:

    “I said, ‘he can if he’s a dog,’ ” answered Balogh, a 66-year-old grandmother and Army veteran who lives in Federal Way.

    The election worker told her a supervisor would call, but she never heard from anyone.

    After making her point — how easy it is for a voter to register illegally — Balogh will be arraigned in King County Superior Court on Tuesday on a misdemeanor charge of making a false statement to a public official.

    It is only when Jane went to the real media did KCRE react. Like the cockroaches they are, it took the light of truth before they would do anything. So you still dont think the KCRE is corrupt….. Shaaapooopy…. take that to the bank. roof roff.

  42. 42

    It would be patriotic for the right to purposely test the KCRE and to catch them by any mean possible. I hope they do, come 2008. roof roof.

    England is flooding. That’s not normal. Record high temperatures in Europe. That’s not normal.

    Don’t judge a judge by one decision. Doug McBroom is an excellent judge, well-deserving of reelection. The best judges make mistakes; indeed, they make a helluva lot of mistakes. McBroom’s heart, more often than not, is in the right place. He’s also spent plenty of time in the trenches, representing those who were up against the powers that be.

    DR @ 43

    I can’t say that I’m surprised that you believe in the rapture, but I’m curious. How is it that you’ve failed to learn the lesson of Matthew, Ch. 17? What became of those who expected Elijah to return in the flesh, and if it wasn’t all that smart for people to have expected the physical return of Elijah, then why should anyone expect the prophecies regarding Jesus’ return to be fulfilled in a material sense?

    “It is the spirit that giveth life; the flesh profiteth nothing“

  51. 51

    So, Mark the Redneck:

    Say you’re a political official and you’re on trial for… let’s say insurance fraud. During this trial, someone asks you, “have you ever used a wallhack in a first-person shooter?” You say “no”. It’s then revealed that they have records of a server where there’s a log of you using a wallhack. Should you be impeached because you “lied under oath”?

    If it’s fucking irrelevant, it’s fucking irrelevant. Blowjobs from an intern had NOTHING to do with the matter at hand. It was a blatant attempt at defamation from the very start, and a clear demonstration of using the letter of the law to pummel the shit out of the spirit of it.

    So basically:

    a) Ask your political opponent a very personal question about something potentially embarrassing and career-damaging though totally irrelevant to their ability to do their job, even though it’s entirely unrelated.

    b) If they answer truthfully or plead the fifth, YOU WIN! If they answer dishonestly, you can get them under a legal technicality, and YOU WIN!

    c) Let loose a violent barrage of piss that wastes taxpayers’ money and turns our entire political system into even more of a joke.

    d) Win elections at the expense of shit that actually matters.

    Is this what the American legal system was intended for? Is this what you WANT it to be intended for? Take your idiot attempt at being clever, with your false dichotomy bullshit, run off behind the shed and fuck yourself with it.

  52. 52

    Hello, wingnuts. Once again, I have to ask the questions you can’t answer:

    Who died when Clinton lied?

    Who died when YOUR PRESIDENT NOT MINE lied?

    7 MTR

    None of the above. He was impeached because the Republicans had a disciplined majority in the House, And they wanted to impeach him come hell or high water as a political strategy. He was not convicted because the slim Republican majority in the Senate was not enough to get 67 votes (and in fact they could not even muster a majority to convict).

    The rapture? The utterly non-bliblical, made-up-in-1830 dispensationalist nonsense? Good man. We should all look to you for rational advice.

  56. 56

    The funny thing is that nowadays all these idiot Christian fundies think that the “end times” will play out just like in the Left Behind fiction series of books. Ohhh, scary. Just like they think 24 is what fighting terrorism is really like.

    Have there ever been so many who are so NOT grounded in reality and willing to believe their chosen fiction? And when I say “fiction” I include the bible, which means that all along there have been so many, I guess.

  57. 57

    The point is not whether Democrats would politically benefit or suffer from impeachment hearings, but rather that it bloody well looks like impeachable offenses have and continue to be committed, and the Congress is obligated to act in defense of the Contitution and the Republic. Buh-bye, Gonzo.

    At an American Spectator breakfast on Thursday morning, Robert Novak said, “All presidents look better after they’re dead, and George W. Bush can count on that.”

    MTR uses President Clinton as a deflection – as some sort of exteremely lame attempt to focus attention away from the guy who currently occupies the White House – you know, the guy who 2/3rds of Americans think is doing a horrible job – the guy who has lied us into a civil war, attempted to destroy the Constitution, set us on a course for a Constitutional crisis, made his mark with Katrina, and caused the world to hate us.

    Republicans Hate Workers & Love Terrorist Attacks

    Here’s how Bush reacted to the homeland security bill passed by the Senate last night:

    “The White House has expressed opposition to several provisions in the bill, particularly a requirement that within five years all ship containers be scanned for nuclear devices before they leave foreign ports for the United States …. Efforts to reach a House-Senate compromise on the issue gained momentum only after Democrats agreed to drop language, which had prompted a veto threat, that would have given airport screeners collective bargaining rights.”

    Republicans have consistently opposed cargo container screening ever since 9/11. They have plenty of (your) money for warmongering, rendering captives to their secret foreign torture camps, giving tax breaks to their billionaire buddies, and shoveling (your) cash out of pickup trucks into duffel bags held open by their hired mercenaries and corrupt contractor friends. But they won’t spend one fucking dime to keep (our) city from disappearing in a cloud of atomic ash. There must be an agenda here somewhere.

    Activists Launch Initiative To Keep Sonics In Key Arena

    In other news, a coalition of sports fans and anti-public subsidy activists are launching an initiative that would prohibit city officials from negotiating a buyout of the Sonics’ Key Arena lease, which expires in 2010. They call themselves the A Deal Is A Deal Committee, and they want the city to force the team to honor its lease.

    Meanwhile, Sonics owner Clay Bennett’s true intentions are evident:

    “In an interview last week, Bennett said he does not believe KeyArena can work for the Sonics and Storm even with the $200 million expansion favored by previous team owners. He has said the teams will move to his hometown of Oklahoma City unless a new arena is built for them in Washington state.”

    http://seattletimes.nwsource.c.....na27m.html

    Hmmm … well, wasn’t that his objective all along?

  67. 67

    I’m with the A Deal Is A Deal Committee on this one … if Bennett moves his team before the lease is up, the city should sue his ass … and not just for the unpaid rent. There will be consequential damages in the form of injury to business, injury to the city’s reputation, emotional distress, and outrage. And state law allows treble damages in cases of consumer fraud and timber trespass — the city’s lawyers should be able to find one of those grounds somewhere in the fine print of the lease! We need to make an example of Bennett to deter other predatory furriners from raiding our city for sports teams and pelts.

    I FINALLY got to see (twice I watched) the Max “Rapture” video (gotta do dialup to save funds, in order to keep paying my awesomely pricey medical insurance, no thanks City of Seattle govt who doesn’t bargain hardly on behalf of retirees!).

    Max’s video was Un-Freaking-Reality-TV!!!!

    I now can see what those other people were talking about in promoting the Rapture (see my comments @ #28) and eagerness to annihilate the planet to get their quick “fix”. I am aghast & at loss for words. Just surprised they didn’t force Max Blumenthal to hand over his camera. Lieberman sure is a suck up, isn’t he? To think I actually voted for the man, perhaps he is doing Alzheimer’s..

    Many people this last week, at other message boards, were mourning the death of Tammy Faye Baker, another TV Evangelist pair of con-artists. They didn’t even see the irony of the big mansion with air-conditioned dog houses, while little poor people kept sending their very last dollar to keep the Bakers living the HIGH life. I was nice, though, and didn’t share my own thoughts on the matter. Probably shouldn’t speak ill of the dead. Bit my tongue and it still hurts.
