A lighted cigaret should work fine.

Hey Goldy, maybe if I call in to your radio show a little earlier than 9:57 PM, I might get on the air — huh?

Bravo Roger, well said.

Why should liberals care if rightwing thugs steal Mexico’s elections? Here are some reasons why:

Because liberals ought to care about exploited poor people, wherever they are, on general principle.

Because if rightwing thugs can keep Mexico’s masses poor, so they have a large pool of cheap labor right next door, they will eliminate American family-wage jobs and move the work to Mexico.

Because if rightwing thugs succeed in keeping Mexico’s masses poor, in order to have access to serf labor, desperate Mexicans will continue pouring over the border into the U.S. in order to survive, bloating our population and straining our public services.

Because they’re assholes, and we ought to despise them for being despicable, on general principles.

There’s more reasons, but this should be sufficient to get a discussion started.

From a small note in today’s P.I.:

“U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert takes listener calls on “Weekday” at 9 a.m. Friday on KUOW-FM (94.9)”

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/.....eat06.html

Now, I’m sure that Reichert will not have agreed to take calls on the radio without having Republican operatives already lined up to flood the call boards with “Doing a GREAT JOB, Dave….!” and “Why are the Democrats such fools….” sort of calls. He may even have a few set to call in on a back line with calls designed to allow him to talk about his rehersed “messages”, such as “Tell us about your “suburban gang initiative”, Sherriff Dave…”.

But what if a couple of hundred of us called in, asking him some truely substantive questions: like asking him to explain why he publically stated that he only votes the way the Republican Congressional leadership tells him to?

Actually, it appears that this will be repeated many times:

# 14:

Funny, the Texas redistricting opinion is a two-edged sword for the Republicans. First, they will, indeed, have to redesign two Congressional districts, under court supervision, because the Court found the redistricting in those areas to be racially motivated.

Secondly, the SCOTUS decision says there is no prohibition against redistricting at any time, not just after the decinial census. So when the Democrats win big in 2006, they can redistrict to their heart’s content! Suddenly a lot of those Republican seats don’t look so safe anymore – everybody is in play!

So, Florida will not prosecute Limabaugh. Big surprise (not). As I mentioned in another post (I think on the day he was detained by U.S. Customs), if it was me (or just about anybody else), we would still be in jail, under investigation or while being charges.

But while the Florida authorities don’t see anything wrong with (a) traveling outside the U.S. while on supervised release under a deferred prosecution, and (b) being in possession of drugs not prescribed to a Limbaugh, while Limbaugh is on deferred prosecution for using others to get drugs for him; the REAL investigators are hard at work, trying to find out exactly WHAT Limbaugh was doing in the Dominican Republic that required him to carry at least 29 Viagra pills with him (the amount left over AFTER he returned to the U.S.). No word so far of where he was staying or what activities he was engaged in, but The Smoking Gun has compelled the release of the passenger manifest, showing that Limbaugh was on an airplane owned by Premier Radio Networks (his syndicator), and that the “stag party” on board included two crew members and five passengers (including Limbaugh), and two of those passengers were executive producers of Fox’s “24” series.

Of course, nothing illegal or improper about any of that. But it still begs the question: what did Rush need with the Viagra pills on the trip, that he was willing to go to considerable trouble to have prescribed to him in such a risky way, and to take them on a trip with him which would require him to cross international boarders twice with them in his possession?

Stay tuned, kids, more info is sure to follow.

Limbaugh probably threatened to sick his William Kennedy Smith lawyer on the County Prosecutor again.

Now I know why Proudass, MTR and all those other racist, anti-semites trolls like to insert “Kennedy” in their screen names. It’s a tribute to Rush’s expensive lawyer!

Ann Coulter: Republican babe Cindy McKinney: Democrat babe Get the difference?

Goldy,

Boy — you look terrible on TV…even worse than listening to you on the radio (painful with that shrill voice). Stick with the blogging, man!

Crackhead and Proud Asshole,

Funny, we don’t see you out there backing up your beliefs, making a difference, creating ideas, engaging in intelligent conversation. All we see is you proving day after day, post after post, just how cowardly and ignorant you really are. See my name at the end of this post. See Goldy’s name all over this blog, TV and radio. Well, when you can man up and match that (I can’t match Goldy’s gift for writing, but I can stand up and be counted with him.

The only thing you two do is count up your posts and masturbate to the total. In the end, you just left standing with your small dicks in your hand.

Carl Grossman
Democrat, Proud and unwilling to take it from RightWingNuts any more.

26 Moonbats like “Carl Grossman” have their own sick view of what constitutes courage. They are so self-absorbed that they think that posting on a blog with a fake name is actually courage, and that their half-baked Marxist drivel actually makes a difference. Their heroes are traitors like Cindy Sheehan and Lt. Watada; real heros like Patton and MacArthur,who gave them their right to spew anti-American trash on blogs, are considered racists and warmongers. They are so consumed by guilt and self-hatred that their prime target is not the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan, but their own country. That’s their idea of courage.

Goldy, we’re not your enemies. I remember what you looked like from before. It’s the voice… reminds me of Gilbert Gottfried!

Man, the enviousness of these wingnuts is really kind of poingnant.

After a decade and more of Limbaugh, O’Reilly, and Hannity nationwide conjoined with the local Wilbur/Carlson zoo at KVI, an entertaining, intelligent and popular local voice comes out of the left and they are sore afraid (in a biblical sense, see Numbers 22:3).

Of course they don’t recognize this fearsome quality they cower from in Goldy, having been desensitized by the n’eer do wells from the right. Those losers who couldn’t make it elsewhere in media.

It’s called talent.

I wonder how upset americafirst is when Max Cleland, John Kerry and, now, Jack Murtha are villified as traitors.

So Eric invited you on this week? He had Andrew on a couple weeks back to talk 912.

I enjoy riding my bike….
Just hard to justify using GasTax to pay for that privilege.
When are the FREELOADING bikers going to start paying for their roads???? How do we charge them???
I got it…..$1000 license tabs!!!!!!
Nope, that’s not enough to pay for these Progressive dreams….
Let’s see, GasTax pays for roads for cars. That makes sense….it’s just a matter of how much is fair and accountability for the WSDOT.
But Bikers are getting a FREE-RIDE!
How fair is that?
Perhaps we could put a surcharge on ALL bikes purchased, all Bike Parts etc. About a 100% tax would be fair….don’t you think?
Bike lanes are fine—–it’s just that Bikers ought to pay!

Goldy:

Thanks for doing such a great job here. You’ve certainly helped sort out the horsesasses from the real folks!

My suggestion for your next horsesass: Prankster/Non-Democratic Senator/Independent Mason County Commissioner/can’t get enough of feeding from the public trough trogolidyte Tim Sheldon of Potlatch.

The guy can’t figure out what party he is from, who he represents, who his constituents are, or what his basic political philosophy is.

I invite you to take the guy on!

Mr. Irrelevant/Cynical: Wrap your tiny mind around this:

Windfall taxes on oil companies = Affirmative trickle-down

Get the picture, loser…

Goldy,

Do you have a snazzy Nordsstroms shirt to wear and remember to roll up those sleeves for the hard-working blogger look. Even the President rolls his sleeves up. Roll the sleeves up on all the shirts.

Also, Goldy, don’t forget to wear your moveon.org and progressivemajority buttons. Point out that you are allowed to wear them, as a nod to your readers. We’ll all get the joke, and David Irons will (hopefully) bite through his tongue, and possibly throw a wrench at someone.

I think Mr.Cynical/Irrelevant is starting to get used to being a loser. He probably has the emotional memory of being cut from every sport he went out for in highschool and he’s applying those old lessons to his new role of political pariah.

“You’re in the jungle , baby!!”

Axl Rose

Nice work Goldy. I see that all of your posts concerning Irons have held up over time unlike the GOP’s wacky allegations.

Therefore, I am “buying you a beer.” Wait, make that 20 beers!

Maybe one of the things that you can talk about on the show is how in this election, all the traditional right wing dirty tricks didn’t work? No matter how much the right wing spin machine lied, distorted or manipulated, it wasn’t enough to win. This gives us hope for a better America. When all the right had to do was lie in order to win, they were natural liars so they naturally won. Now that it America expects more, they don’t have a chance.

And one more thing, find out if Irons beat the crap out of his MOM for not voting for him!!! HE HE!

The Republicans have gotten away with lying for years now, because let’s face it, most Americans are trusting. When the government tells them that Iraq has weapons and will be soon attacking the United States, Americans have an inclination to trust them.

Once the trust is gone, however, it will not come back. The GOP is going to have to start coming up with new tricks, or they could try being honest. Not likely.

David

Speaking of “progressives”….reminds me of we should call you all

“the party formerly known as liberals”

Righton: I don’t have time for your drivel. I’m going to go read some Ward Churchill essays and then swim some laps at the Ted Kennedy swimming pool here in Boulder,CO. Then I’m going to go home, smoke a bowl, listen to some Bob Marley and Taj Majal, and head out to some consciousness raising events! Just another happy, free, progressive day without conservative assholes around to muck things up.

Happy Trails! I hope your knotted bowels stop giving you all that trouble…

@3

I’m with you on that one, Cyn. Bicycles should be required to have license plates, for which a user fee is charged, for two reasons:

1) So pedestrians injured by bicyclists can get a license number if the bicyclist hits-and-runs or refuses to identify himself.

2) To require bicyclists to help pay for the public rights of way they use.

Bicyclists also should be required to have liability insurance.
Big fines for no license or no insurance.

I have an idea … instead of spending $800,000 on a bike bridge over I-90 in Moses Lake, let’s shitcan the bike path and spent $1 million on stop lights and a crosswalk across I-90 in Moses Lake. That way, we can (1) spend more money, (2) create a traffic bottleneck, and (3) kill more bicyclists. Three birds with one stone. This plan should appeal to those whose thinking is characterized by a total lack of logic and reasonableness.

@8

There’s two sides to this story. First of all, we spend a LOT of money on roads to move commerce and get people to work with motor vehicles. Motor vehicles are necessary to the economy, bicycles are not. It’s unreasonable for bicyclists to expect they can hinder or hold up motor traffic on expensive roadways built for motor traffic because they feel like riding a bicycle.

Secondly, all bicyclists aren’t innocent, either. There are motorists and bicyclists who, frankly, deserve each other. Undoubtedly there are cases of motorists harassing bicyclists; but I’ll bet the majority of bicyclists who bike in car traffic and get hit, got hit because they did something stupid, like cutting off a moving car. CARS CAN’T STOP IN 6 INCHES! DRIVERS CAN’T SEE BICYCLISTS TO THEIR REAR OR RIGHT. Bicyclists who endanger themselves by expecting drivers to get out of THEIR way are asking for what they all too frequently get.

@10

You’re missing the main point, Larry. Bicycles take up space on roads. Practically speaking, as much space as a car, because the driver behind has to allow as much following distance as he would for a car.

The pavement space occupied by the bicycle costs big money. The largest expense is putting the pavement there in the first place. Maintenance costs are not solely due to motor traffic; roads weather, and would degrade even if no motor traffic ever traveled on them. Frost heaving, ground swelling, moisture, heat and cold — all take their toll on pavement.

Bicyclists seem to assume that since the roads are there anyway for motor traffic, their use by bicycles imposes no costs on the public that pays for building and maintaining roads. This would be true only if there is excess roadway capacity. However, when roads are at full capacity, and accomodating bicycle traffic requires widening the roadway to add a bicycle lane, or building more lanes to accomodate the cars displaced by bicycles, the cost of providing space for bicycle traffic on paved roadways is extremely high — and bicyclists pay nothing for it. Look at all the bike lanes in Seattle — every one of them required either widening an existing roadway or eliminating a car lane — and the cost of building or marking the bike lanes was millions of dollars. Cyclists paid nothing. It was all subsidized by those who pay taxes on motor vehicles and fuel.

Yeah, we need Bikepool lanes; encourage bikers to double up. Great for the DOT guys to jam some more useless lanes on us.

@18 (continued)

Hey, did you like it? The mudslinging, I mean. You guys have been doing it to us for 60 years. You call our candidates “commies,” you make up phony “intern affair” stories, you lie about their war records, you spread vicious rumors, etc. ad naus. So we take a page from your playbook, except what we’re saying about your candidats is all true, and you bitch and moan and cry about it?

Cry me a river, pal. Help solve the water shortage.

You see, Rabbit, that’s what I like about you. You’re stupid.

Nothing is more likeable than stupid. Stupid is funny and cute. It’s wide-eyed, easily convinced and easily confused. Easy to amaze, bewilder and bedazzle.

@33

There’s no such thing in this state as a “useless lane,” unless you live in eastern Washington.

Aaron at 30

Naw, i’m just Goldwater republican, Buckley, Milton Friedman. Current crop of Bush guys bores me.

That said, i take the bait when Dems run dismal candidates like Sims and Patty (dumb) Murray. Almost anybody running against them is better, preferably somebody alive.

No fed taxes, more federalism, less federal government, take us back to no HUD, HEW, Dept of Educ, etc.

Ok, women can keep voting.

If it were up to me, I’d ban the goddam things.

It isn’t even against the law to ride a bicycle after dark with no lights — or if it is, the law isn’t enforced — and if a bike rider with no lights gets hit by a car, what do you think he’s going to do? Sue the driver, of course.

When bicyclists get reasonable, I’ll get reasonable.

righton @41

Try being Amish. You might like it.

Hey, I got nothing against people who are happy with dirt roads, no electricity, and growing their own (organic) food. I love ’em!

I just get a little impatient with freeloading assholes like “righton” who want all the civilized conveniences — and want someone else to pay for them.

@50

This is the REAL Roger Rabbit, not an imposter! Just because you goose-steppers march in lockstep with an ideology and your party’s talking-points-of-the-day doesn’t mean The Bunny has to! I think for myself, and I disagree with my liberal friends now and then.

For example, if I had been a U.S. Senator voting on Clinton’s impeachment, I would have voted to remove him for getting a blowjob under the desk at work. That wasn’t his desk or office — the people own it. If I did that at work, I would get fired, so when the high-and-mighty do it, why shouldn’t they get fired, too? Clinton was a hell of a lot better president than the monkey occupying that office now, but I would have fired him anyway. If I owned a business and caught my best salesman banging the secretary on the desk, I’d fire both of them. Get it?

Bamajenk @ 5

Interesting point. How does Tim Sheldon get to serve in TWO ELECTED OFFICES at the same time? He is State Senator from District 35 (elected as a Democrat in 2002) and County Commissioner from Mason County (elected as an Independent in 2004).

Unfortunately, state law doesn’t prohibit HOLDING two elected offices at the same time. It only prohibits someone from RUNNING for two elected offices in the same election.

We should change this. If someone holds an elected office, and gets elected to another office, their first office should automatically be vacated when they are sworn into their second office.

Or we could do even better, like they did in Florida. If someone holds a state or local elected office, and runs for a different office, they automatically forfeit their existing office when they file their candidacy papers for the second office. Unless their existing office would otherwise be up for election in the same election in which they are seeking another office.

It is bad enough that someone in Washington can run for a second office, and hold on to their existing office, simply because the election years for the two offices are different. It is completely ridiculous that someone like Tim Sheldon can hold two elected offices at once (and with different party affiliations to boot).

@54

Maybe that county has more offices to be filled than walking, cognate, sensate people.

Yah, rodger, I’ve also got a problem with agressive cyclist, also aggressive moterist, you know, the ones who refuse to stop at a crosswalk? You and mark just describe a whole slew of illegal behaviors and said bikes need to be removed from the road or licensed because of them.

The thing is, just as motorists who fly through crosswalks need to be ticketed, and pedestrians who jaywalk need to be ticketed, bicyclist who break the law should get tickets. This is enforcement of existing laws that doesnt happen.

Before anyone asks, yes I do always cross at a crosswalk, when the light is right or if that crosswalk is unmarked, it is mine stop your stupid car!!

Bill @ 58

Can you tell me what the proper procedure is for a bicycle at a crosswalk?

mark, I am guessing that ONE cyclist was not an SPD bicycle cop (since I’ve yet to see a bycycle cop actully do something silly like follow the law. My guess is that training needs to start with them and somehow get them to start enforcing the law.

If they are on the road, as a motor vehicle, if on the sidewalk, dismount and walk the bike through as a pedestrian. Bikes actually are not allowed to use crosswalks.

Me @ 65

Sorry, Bill. I apologize. Guess you replied as I was typing.

By the way, you earn a cookie. Good job! Now I know there are TWO cyclists in Puget Sound with some idea of cycling laws.

Hmmm… Filtered again??

OK… To repeat.

Bill,

Sorry re: me @ 65. Didn’t see your second post. Good work! You get a cookie! Now I know there are TWO cyclists in Puget Sound who know the rules. :)

Windie; you are a liar, or forgetfull

I’ve never once defended Bush. Voted against him 2x, and yeah voted for the Dem idiots he ran against. Protest against missile defense and against war in iraq.

but yeah, like i said once before, i take the bait, when confronted w/ the losers you guys support. I suspect you guys on the left take the same bait when confronted w/ a right winger that drives you nuts.

We’re even worse off than you guys; you have Hillary (ugh), all we got is McCain….yipes

Interesting over at SP that everybody thinks the woman Stefan dealt with deserves full prosecution and no one thinks the KC repubs do for signing the “under penalty of perjury” lie.

You think there would be at least one of them over there who would think that fair is fair….

I’ve ranted enough about bicycles. It should be clear by now that badly behaving bikers are one of my pet peeves. Nuff said.

job

@70

I didn’t have any problem with it. I typed “job” and it didn’t get stuck in the filter.

As long as we’re on the subject of jobs, Stefan can’t hold one — not even a $9-an-hour temp job — his woman is supporting him. I asked him last night if she could get me a deal on a Hyundai, but he isn’t answering me.

no filter problem there — must be operator error on your end, Mark.

Roger, try putting ANY word in front of the three-letter word. In other words, “good ***”

Get a job

job

Good job, any intersection unless otherwise marked is an unmarked crosswalk, you may only procede with your car through the crosswalk if the pedestrian is at least 1.5 lanes away from you.

rightards

Quest @ 87

No, it is because the filter can tell that even sp@mm*rs are smarter than you and it isn’t afraid.

Goldy:

Can you and Eric discuss how all roads of corruption and moral bankruptcy lead to conservatism and their mock “family values?”

In particular, read from Scooter Libby’s book, “The Apprentice” where a Madam forces a 10 year old girl into a cage with a bear, whereupon the bear rapes the child while other men look on.

Or, perhaps you could read from O’Reilly’s book where two 15 year old girls, who are hooked on crack, have to perform oral sex on a drug dealer, probably Rush Limbaugh’s connection, on a “faux leather couch.”

Or maybe, Lynne Cheney’s bodice ripper novels.

Geeez, what is it with conservatives and child pornography? Why to they insist on writing about children in desperate circumstances being forced into the sex trade?

Hindsight being 20/20, is there any doubt now why the Christian Right and the rest of the conservatives were so infatuated with Ken Starr’s report about Clinton’s sexual affairs?

With that much porn being written by the leadership of the conservative parties, I can’t even begin to imagine the level of masturbation that must be going on in the basements of conservatives like Ms Chickenhawk. (Gotta love the double entendre of Mr. Cynical’s new nickname.)

Windie @ 90

This is just like dealing with Scotty McClellan, you know exactly what he means by interpreting his words in the exact opposite way.

With a moniker like ‘righton’ is it reasonable to believe he wasn’t a Bush supporter? And, yes, by the way, I do recall him being pro bush and, specifically, pro Iraq war last summer.

mark you’re missing the point:

Like the rat he is, he’s not only abandoning Bush as a failure (as anyone with a brain would do), he’s saying He never supported Bush.

If he’d said “I changed my mind, I can’t support Bush anymore”, which is basicly what you said, there’d be no problem.

But he’s incapable of that. Congenitally dishonest, he’s a symbol of what’s wrong with the right in the US.

@ 91

In righton’s case, no. Because unlike you, he’s not lamenting his descion to support bush, rather he’s trying to rewrite his own history on this blog.

BIG, BIG DIFFERENCE.

Mark, it’s time for a good ol’ fashion “Come To Jesus” meeting, my brother, because Bush ‘the man,’ is the top dog of Far Right Machine. It’s high time you recognize that point of fact.

And, are you really more disappointed in his choices of the people he surrounds himself with, or marginalizes. Or, are you more disappointed with the descions the he alone has to make?

Misleading the public about Iraq.
Fiscal irresponsibility.
$8.8 billion dollars missing in Iraq.
Not capturing Bin Laden.
The Dow which is at the same level when he took over the office.
Cronyism.
Never using his Veto pen, for anything, ever.

I mean really, what are you most disappointed about?

Can you discuss your thoughts on Eyman’s overwhelming victory…achieved without even really mounting a campaign in the general election?

He is a horses ass but he was about the only Right-winger to come out not smelling like one on Tuesday night.

why GBS….you’re back? did you ever get around to answering me about the chem weapons? no?

Windie, GBS

You know, the internet allows you to search…

I’m solidly right wing, occassionally going beyond in the fray called blogs… I’m unafraid to lambaste dot, sims, cliniton, hillary, etc.

But except for knee jerk (enemy of my enemy) reactions against Barney Frank, or Howard Dean or whomever, I can’t recall and i guess would vouch under oath I have not been supporting bush on this blog (or elsewhere).

Maybe you are projecting, and or confusing Bush with Rossi….you know if you read your talking points long enough you might actually start believing them…

Repeat after me: Bush = Rossi = Rove = Hitler = Genghis Khan

(NOT)

@ 100

Hahahahahahaha

You and Libby must have the same attorney. Are you really going for the “memory defense?”

Haahahahahahaha

What a pair of dopes.

ChristmasGhost

Yeah, some of us have REAL contributions to make to society and don’t have the luxury of loafing all day long like you do waiting for the post man to deliver your Social Security checks, you old spider.

as much as i despise “cut and paste” i couldn’t resist on this one. you might want to order the book from doubleday….it’ll be a real page turner……….talk about hypocracy!!!!!!
” * Filmmaker Michael Moore insists that corporations are evil and claims he doesn’t invest in the stock market due to moral principle. But Moore’s IRS forms, viewed by Schweizer, show that over the past five years he has owned shares in such corporate giants as Halliburton, Merck, Pfizer, Sunoco, Tenet Healthcare, Ford, General Electric and McDonald’s.

* Staunch union supporter Rep. Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) has received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farmworkers Union. But the $25 million Northern California vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop.

The hypocrisy doesn’t end there. Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in recent election cycles.

But the Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, Calif. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Schweizer, author of “The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty” and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.

The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is – that’s right, a non-union shop.

* Ralph Nader is another liberal who claims that unions are essential to protect worker rights. But when an editor of one of his publications tried to form a union to ameliorate miserable working conditions, the editor was fired and the locks changed on the office door.

* Self-described socialist Noam Chomsky has described the Pentagon as “the most vile institution on the face of the earth” and lashed out against tax havens and trusts that benefit only the rich.

But Chomsky has been paid millions of dollars by the Pentagon over the last 40 years, and he used a venerable law firm to set up his irrevocable trust to shield his assets from the IRS.

* Air America radio host Al Franken says conservatives are racist because they lack diversity and oppose affirmative action. But fewer than 1 percent of the people he has hired over the past 15 years have been African-American.

* Ted Kennedy has fought for the estate tax and spoken out against tax shelters. But he has repeatedly benefited from an intricate web of trusts and private foundations that have shielded most of his family’s fortune from the IRS.

One Kennedy family trust wasn’t even set up in the U.S., but in Fiji.

Another family member, environmentalist Robert Kennedy Jr., has said that it is not moral to profit from natural resources. But he receives an annual check from the family’s large holdings in the oil industry.

* Barbra Streisand has talked about the necessity of unions to protect a “living wage.” But she prefers to do her filming and postproduction work in Canada, where she can pay less than American union wages.

* Bill and Hillary Clinton have spoken in favor of the estate tax, and in 2000 Bill vetoed a bill seeking to end it. But the Clintons have set up a contract trust that allows them to substantially reduce the amount of inheritance tax their estate will pay when they die.

Hillary, for her part, has written and spoken extensively about the right of children to make major decisions regarding their own lives. But she barred 13-year-old daughter Chelsea from getting her ears pierced and forbid the teen from watching MTV or HBO.

* Billionaire Bush-basher George Soros says the wealthy should pay higher, more progressive tax rates. But he holds the bulk of his money in tax-free overseas accounts in Curacao, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

Schweizer writes: “Liberals claim to support affirmative action but don’t practice it. They support higher taxes but set up complicated tax shelters to avoid paying them. They claim to be ardent environmentalists but abandon their cause when it impinges on their own property rights.

“The reality is that liberals like to preach in moral platitudes. They like to condemn ordinary Americans and Republicans for a whole host of things – racism, lack of concern for the poor, polluting the environment, and greed.

“But when it comes to applying those same standards to themselves, liberals are found to be shockingly guilty of hypocrisy.

“The media and the American people need to hold them accountable.”

from Peter Schweizer’s blockbuster new book, “Do As I Say (Not As I Do)”

I finally found 1 blog dude who isn’t Dean Logan; he of course can read my ballots and know I never voted for Bush. (old GHW Bush yes, not his son)

fire_one; problem though, for all of us..

I’m not any closer to supporting any dem/lib/prog. Just have zip on nat’l basis.

I’m still glad bush gets to nominate supremes; roberts and aliato seem good, though i’d still love bork and starr to be on the court instead…

@ 112 OK, righton WHO did you vote for in 2000 and 2004?

windie;
but solidly GOP on the senate, house, plus i think state races. Missile defense in 2000 scared me, and in 2004, Bush was just too much in the middle; that is uninspiring, but i’m still pissed by the UN stuff by powell; I get the geopolitical reasons to jam the Arabs, but that’s not what they told us, hence pissed.

I honestly don’t know the answer now; staying is dumb, and leaving is dangerous.

bill;
Hard to find Bush voters on horsesass. About 2/3 libs on this, plus i’m the only respondee today on my pres. vote.

Maybe you helped Ron sims on his bank accuracy extrapolation?

Puddy “Freep” Koresh:

Your living up to your “freep” legend. You post an article about a pedophile and somehow that has something to do with “democrats” and “democratic thinking”. Have you ever heard of Jim West?

The LA Times article has a similar disconnect. A hospital’s dysfunctional policy on liver transplants? Huh?

Last but not least a plug on whacko tin-hat journalist propagandist, Richard Miniter. Here’s a quote from an Amazon review:

Before I buy a book like this I like to read one chapter that I covers a topic I know something about. Then, if that chapter is accurate I can be realtivley assured the rest of the book is accurate. In this case I read the chapter about “100,000 Iraqi dead.” The author tries to dispute the Johns Hopkins study that found it most likely that at over 100,000 Iraqis have been killed in the recent war. Unfortunately the author is clueless about the study and relies instead on comments from other media personalities to pad his dispute. In fact, the study was done by a group that has done several other studies in war zones and for which the results have been widely accepted. Since they used the same standard techniques in the Iraq study, it is not likely he got less accurate results. A few illustrations of the authors attempt to discredit the study will suffice to discredit the author. 1) The author claims the study included the massive deaths in Falluja, so skewed the results. If he had read the study himself, he would have found this is not true. But he relied on a media personality for that morsel, so he just repeats that disinformation. 2) He claims the study authors did not see death certificates for those who died, and just trusted the surviors for the facts. In fact, the study says they saw death certificates for over 70% of the deaths recorded. 3) He takes issue with the study methodology, escpecially the way the researches used smaller or larger areas (still random, however) to get enough reponses to make the data reliable. If he knew anything about statistical methods he would know this is a non-issue.

In short, based on this disinformative chapter I do not believe the rest of the book will be reliable and is most likely simply other disinformation to push the authors political agenda. Don’t waste your money on this trash.

Puddy “Freep” Koresh:

Got a big response in the filter. Main points:

1) UCI Hospital’s policies or operation on liver surgerises. Huh? Disconnect.

2) Ever hear of Jim West?

3) Miniter is a tin-hat kook. Regnery? Kooksville. See Amazon reviews of Disinformation for more trashing of a trashy book for wingnuts on a bender like Puddy “Freep” Koresh.

hooray for goldy, he’s on TV!

Clueless you don’t get it. You are your name.

It’s this hospital’s liberal policies regarding selective medicine. The other hospitals accepted the same “rejected” organs. I am down here in LA less than five blocks from this hospital, stoopid. You should listen to the commentary here. Sheesh, you are still dense.

The teacher example is just up your alley. What does Jim West have to do with teachers, dummy? Damn a standard Clueless deflection.

Miniter’s book proves some findings and it doesn’t agree with mooron.org? Oh too bad Clueless. If the documentation is correct what is your problem? I went to Amazon’s review site. A person who HASN”T read the book reviews it? What shit is that?

The overall reviewers said :) :) :) :) out of 5. Dummy! Keep drinking the Jim Jones Kool-Aid.

Nindid: Google this statement “Schwarzenegger spent $7 million of his money” More information regarding the four CA ballot issues rejected by the people.

“For those who wish to see the state rescued from the out-of-control spending by special interests and an attendant fall into economic chaos, there was one positive aspect to the otherwise bleak election blowout.

Primarily financed by private-sector and public-employee unions, the opposition was so afraid of the governor’s initiatives, that they spent $150 million to defeat them. (Schwarzenegger spent $7 million of his own money on the campaign.) This had to be a pyrrhic victory for his enemies.

The California Teachers Association even mortgaged its headquarters building and will no doubt need to raise its members’ dues to meet expenses including the new loan obligations.”

Puddy “Freep” Koresh:

KOOOKY… Even hospitals are red/blue for PFK just like the rest of life is black/white. If the hospital does anything wrong – sue the bastards – ooops PFK supports Bushite “Tort” reform.

A pedophile get caught – oh yeah – that’s liberal policies at work, i.e. KOOOOKY.

Miniter, like Michelle Maglalang and the rest of the Regnery is well KOOOKKY. Attracts KOOKS like PFK.

Election was a real bummer for you PFK, wasn’t it?

Puddy Koresh:

Take heart. You’re in the OC. There ought to be a neocon KOOL-AID bar nearby to drown your sorrows.

@83

good job

@83 (continued)

tried g— j–, it’s snagged in the filter

If the bikers want special lanes, they can pay a toll.

Have you checked into that hospital yet? You know, for the std that your significant other gave you?

Back ON TOPIC – Goldy did a great job on public access TV. Anyone catch it?

Hello My PuddyBUTT, who are you masquerading as today, Roger “Truth Teller Wabbet”, David Axelrod, Clueless, Rugrat602, etc.? Since you capitalized the BUTT you must have that Hershey Highway fetish. Regarding “my” supposed STDs, have you recently been checked for scabies, fleas, lice, open puss sores,gangrene, psoriasis?

@ 155

Whoaa.. Calm, calm Puddy F. Koresh. The men in white coats will soon be there…

PuddyBUTT @ 157

“Since you capitalized the BUTT you must have that Hershey Highway fetish.”

Ummmm…this, from the person who used “butt” in place of the conjunction “but” for the first two months of posting?????

(*snicker*)

Yes, dj I did. I was making a point of this being HorsesASS jackass. Oh, that’s right dj another butt joke!

Goldy, since you aspire to be a reporter, do you support the Aruba boycott? Give us some reporting!!!

@ 160

I said you’re going to pay up to 9.5 cents more for gas per gallon over three years to help repair and rebuild infrastructure.

I said Jeff Lyin’ Sax of Shit is no longer on your county council.

I said Ron Sims is still King County Executive and Dean Logan is still head of KCREALS.

I said Tim Kaine is Governor of Virginia.

I said Arnold the Govinator crashed and burned through his special election.

I said I heard you welshed on a bet with GBS.

I said if you didn’t change your ways your soul would burn in hell for eternity along with Dr. Michael Aquino and Jared Taylor, i.e. you cannot serve both God and Mammon.

But it probably doesn’t matter what anyone says, the flames of the burning building have rendered you both deaf and blind.

Clueless: Your beloved unions here in CA spent $150 Million to defeat Arnold’s initiatives. The Unions spent other people’s money. Isn’t that what you decry about the Republicans in Congress? The Teachers Union hocked their building. Arnold spent 7 million of his own money. His OWN MONEY! So eventhough he lost, look at how much he drained from the union coffers. So maybe he won eventhough he lost.

Roger Rabbit is going to get trapped, castrated, and relocated to Redmond:

Butt Man @ 165, Maybe we should totally boycot Aruba. And then the world should follow our ‘great’ example and totally boycot the USA. We have problems like this in every major city in the USA each and every month. BFD

Richard @ 171

Why would he need to be castrated if he’s already “shooting blanks?” Unless, of course, it is to discourage him from trying to mount every rabbit, squirrel, armadillo and lawn gnome he sees…

lawn gnome; love it…

Puddybud:

Uh, dude, you were supposed to make that call on-air on Nov 7, BEFORE the elections. That was my obligation if David “the mother beater” Irons passed a Republican Detector Test. Which he wouldn’t take because he’s a dishonest, abusive, LIAR!!! And, no doubt about it, if David “the mother beater” Irons did pass a Republican Detector Test and I called the Carlson show, I would have been put right through to the top of the caller list to make my on-air apology on the day before the elections. And that’s the truth, because you know and I know Carlson would have been salivating over that call of contrition from a Liberal.

Two bad cell phone connections? C’mon! Did your dog eat your homework, too??? Were you abducted by aliens from outer space??? Did you get lost in some time/space continuum??? Geeez, you’re starting to sound like John Belushi in the scene form the Blues Brothers when they’re down in the sewer and they get confronted by Cari Fisher with an M-16.

KVI has a toll free number, you could’ve called from any landline phone. A man of his WORD would have done so in meeting his obligations. Your honor was on the line and instead of keeping your promise, and your integrity, you’re now making excuses. That’s the bottom line.

On top of that, you want me to validate the veracity of your efforts with one of THOSE champions of the Culture of Corruption at KVI. Haahahahahahahahahahahaha

Puuuuhhh–leasssse, don’t insult your own intelligence, let alone mine. That lying son of a bitch would’ve lied just like Bush, Cheney, Libby, Rove, DeLay, Frist, Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, and any one else that considers themselves to be a “conservative.”

You said you KNEW John personally and could arrange it. Did you not?

In the end, you over promised and under delivered. Is that how you service your clients? Of course not. But when it was your honor on the line you should have gone the extra mile just like you would’ve done for your clients.

Now you’ve revealed your true self, another pawn in the Culture of Corruption that is conservatism. It’s a shame, too, I thought maybe, just maybe, you were different from the rest of the dishonest conservatives. Turns out, you’re not. You’re all cut from the same evil lying cloth that drapes Satan.

Oh, well. I wonder what PacMan has to say about a fellow conservative not keeping his word? He’ll be an apologist, too, just like the rest of you who keep apologizing for Bush’s lies. Like firing anyone in his administration for being involved in leaking the identity of a covert CIA operative.

60% of Americans believe that Bush is not honest. ’nuff said.

GBS: What was Monday? Before the elections? I called. I DID get through. I had a lousy connection. Call Matt. He was expecting my call as he received the same email. Call him GBS, and when he corroborates my story what will you say next? I did everything as I SAID I WOULD! You need to “make the call”. Dream on GBS, as I did fulfill my obligations!!!

Yes I have seen the latest poll. The Independents have turned on him lately. But the reasons are more complicated than you identify in your latest entry. See the Fox News Opinion Dynamics Poll. It’s not biased toward democrats like the ABC-WaPo or CBS-NYT Polls.

GBS..funny joke but i heard it told differently. “what happens when you give a democrat viagra?it has no effect…. they are still the spineless weinies they were before.”
and down here in california we are laughing our asses off about the teachers union ad nauseum bankrupting themselves over 75. there are many ways to skin a cat……and that was one of them. LOL.
god..you guys are just way too easy…………

Puddybud,

You either went on-air and made your statement against Daivd “the mother beater” Irons, or you didn’t.

Which is it?

If you didn’t go on-air, you welshed. Period.

In the immortal words of Yoda: Do or do not, there is no try.

ChristmasGhost: I was in LA land last week and even the LA Times did mention the teachers taxes oops… teachers dues will have to be raised to pay off their union imposed problems.

Regarding the slur I thought Thomas Jefferson said this: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal”. I guess in donk land they use handicapped people to make their worthless points. What’s next; the donks saying we act like that German guy who had 4 children with his handicapped sister? Naah, he was one of those free love fringie types who support the donkocratic party!

GBS: Whatever you say man. Next to DJ, you are the brains of the ASS here so why argue. You didn’t call Matt so The Prosecution Rests.

When Goldy’s a celebrity
It’s adios reality
Goldy acts just like a fool
And people think he’s cool
Just cus he’s on a blog
Barkin’ like a HOUNDDOG!

Was it about Nickels under investigation?
or
Maria reinstituting the litmus test?
or
the overdue KCRE reforms?

Great work, Goldy. There’s not too many honors higher for a proud, smart foul-mouthed liberal than to be denounced by Accuracy in Media. The Bush administration is coming apart like a cheap suitcase and you helped. Thanks!

Rack one up for the good guys. Good job.

Mick

PS: Don’t feel to good about being the reason for MB’s downfall remember he blamed half the country as well.

We don’t get the Seattle TV over here so please get me a clip of it. I can even host it if need be.

Sweet!! Thank you!!

Goldy, I had no idea you were Fidel Castro (or were that far er… left?) Or is he authoritarian on the right?? oh well..

Here goes your career, Goldy! In no time you’ll be bigger than the guy that does ‘bumvertising’ downtown! He’s been on The DAILY SHOW!

Mark1—
I turned on Channel 4 but had the sound down.
Was Goldy the guy in the background of a clip scratching his nuts with a salad fork?? It sure looked like him!

Republicans kill babies in foreign lands for oil profits. that’s what they are all about.

democrats kill babies in US by “choice”.

LEFTIST PINHEAD

phew…22 straight posts without that phrase had me in wihtdrawl

Cynical and all righties: Whenever Lucite thinks he is saying sumtin pithy and colorful, it always backfires.

Hey Lucite, since LEFTIST PINHEADS don’t support children with a mom and a dad (Janie and two mommies, Eric has two daddies) how will they know any better? If LEFTIST PINHEADS taught the inner city kids not to procreate early, the abortion industry would be low. If LEFTIST PINHEADS taught inner city kids to practice procreation with a rubber, the abortion industry would be broke. If you taught the inner city kids anything, they would be educated for a life besides flipping burgers. If abortions were not the law of the land, maybe Al Gore would be the president in his second term. Stiffman Gore, what a Bore!!! I pity the fool … BA Barracus.

Heh.

The Bush-dolt and his ‘Pube masters worked SO HARD to steal all three branches of govt. – and they really didn’t get much done !!

Country bankrupt = no more tax cuts.

Bush weaker & dumber every day = ‘Pube agenda derailed.

Discount Army led by airheads = crisis in enlistment.

Starved FEMA = two swift, brutal kicks below the bible belt.

Arrogance & ignorance = no international deals or friends.

Feeble, incompetent cabinet = approval rating dropping daily.

fleischer, rove, delay, ashcrack, powell, etc. = bye bye.

Rabid desire to destroy democracy = govt. size grows by 1 million people.

Saudi Prince cock in Bush’s mouth = SUV clowns crying as their precious tax cut is pumped into their silly gas-tanks.

Fatty foods & mental retardation = no gains on the Supreme Court.

Thinly disguised bigots = no progress with Black voters.

so many failures, so many conservative buffoons & god-lickers …

I’m totally delighted, totally !! Can’t believe it – but they actually succeeded in inserting their own heads into their own rectums. Other than the smell – I really don’t see much damage !

If this is the best they can do when in total control — we don’t have much to worry about.

9/11 handed them a golden goose – and they killed it !!! hahahaha wow

I always knew their dopeyness would defeat them eventually – but I had no idea how quickly and completely they’d crash.

Normal people always have to remember that the ‘conservative’ disease is self-defeating. They can’t help but fail.

When we return to power (sooner rather than later, apparently) we won’t have much trouble sending them to the back of the bus for another 50 years, just like last time.

God is definitely a Democrat !! No doubt about that. We always win.

Look at the last three oafs the ‘Pubes have given us: a Gimp, a Wimp, and a Simp.

Now we have three more years to watch them roast like swine on a spit, and we don’t have to take responsibility for anything that happens. We can piss on their heads any time we want. Can his ratings actually go negative? Will he start drinking again?
I don’t know – but it’s all good.

I believe it..
Black America is fed up with being pandered to by phoney’s like rujax….they do nothing, create race warfare that results in nothing positive.
These LEFTIST PINHEADS honestly believe they have done something positive for Blacks….when the statistics on illegitimate births is skyrocketing. It’s really sad. Jesus has done way more for Black America than Jesse, Al and feel-good, power-hungry LEFTIST PINHEAD like rujax.
I’ll bet Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson look at pandering, pathetic whitey LEFTIST PINHEADS and say to each other
“THESE LEFTIST PINHEADS ARE OUR USEFUL IDIOTS…..LENIN WAS CORRECT!!!!”

Finally some balls in seattle…… This is a very commenable trait to have in this city and gets my attention Finally the truth. Truth hurts doesnt it. ha ha I love it!!!

no one should support anything 100%, obviously.

The last 6 people returning from Iraq (that I’ve talked to) have said the same thing – they don’t think we’re making progress, they don’t know why we’re there, they don’t think the Iraqis are capable of democracy, they feel abandoned by the Bush administration, they feel underfunded and underequipped and 4 of them are leaving the Service, one after 17 years, another after 10. They feel in danger all the time with no way to fight back. One guy had movies on his computer and showed me how terribly exposed they are. The equipment is constantly jamming from the sand. They have a million stories about the incompetence of their commanders. Their biggest fear is being crippled and winding up in some VA hell-hole.

None of them said anything about Dodge Rams or C&W music. Nobody blamed “the Left” for the failures of this mission. Does anyone bother to ask them, or is it just me?

This is patriotism to you?

I’m pretty sure they’d just LOVE to use Mr. Cynical for target practice.
