Rachel, why would GWBush give you an interview? You ridicule him for wearing his old job titles. Yet when you interview Carter and Clinton you call them president. Rachel you are an ASS. Loose rules, strange words, no responsibility in her broadcasts. When you are dead wrong with the facts you ridicule those who call you out DR. for being wrong. Even Jon Stewart took you apart.
For liberal Scientist Puddy places this in the realm, AGAIN…
And finally to our department of corrections. On last night’s show I made fun of who House minority leader John Boehner because at yesterday’s whites of their eyes Michele Bachmann-led anti-healthcare reform rally on the Capitol steps, he waggled a copy of the Constitution at the crowd, bragged that he was standing with the Founding Fathers and then said he was quoting the Preamble to the Constitution while he actually quoted from the Declaration of Independence. Being myself constitutionally incapable of leaving well enough alone, I then excitedly exclaimed not that he wasn’t reading from the Preamble to the Constitution but that there wasn’t a Preamble to the Constitution at all, which of course is total nonsense and which I’m very sorry to have said.
It’s sad Claude Jones was executed and the state staff didn’t place the DNA request in the memo. Of course hindsight is 20-20. Now you are blaming the lack of Claude Jones DNA test request the day before his execution in the final memo is GWBush’s fault Rachel?
The day before Claude Jones was killed, the day before he was executed, he asked for that hair from the crime scene to be tested.
And the two Texas courts said no.
He requested a stay of execution to as you say to have the hair submitted for DNA testing, and he made that request to two separate Texas courts, and to the governor’s office and he was turned down by both courts
So when did the courts turn him down Rachel? It seems the same day Rachel. When were the memos written Rachel? Data and Time Rachel? The fault rests on those who wrote the memo. Yet you twist it around Rachel. Priceless.
See how Rachel ties the 2000 recount to the execution when they are mutually exclusive events?
Bush just read the summary presumably, didn’t look into it any further, in any event he gave the executioner the thumbs UP AND ON DECEMBER 7th, 2000[Puddy emphasis] in the midst of the Florida recount that would ultimately name him president almost exactly ten years ago now Claude Jones was killed.
And you expect GWBush to be interviewed by you and your show, after the world saw you and your insipid commentary on November 2, 2010 covering the mid-term elections the next day when it was ridiculed?
PRICELESS!

Jesus H. waterboarding Christ Spuddy, you really are a thick motherfucker.
Why I really can’t see any reason to not execute this asshole as described in the article, Bush, as Governor of Texas, oversaw the executions of more people than the entire rest of the country combined. At least two may have actually been innocent of the crimes they were convicted of. Texas cops are NOT renowned for their honesty and dedication to enforcing the law.
Bush, then as now, is a bloodthirsty, lying, Sociopathic son of a bitch. In that book he just “wrote”, he’s admitted to war crimes. He’s previously admitted to torturing small animals as a boy. He’s freely admitted to being such a lush that he couldn’t control his mouth or his hands at State Dinners, which he had nearly every day at exorbitant cost to the Texas Taxpayers.
Bush, Cheney and the rest of their entire administration, were seriously evil and as corrupt as anyone can get. If Bush hadn’t had a wealthy daddy to buy his way out of trouble, he likely would have ended up like Jeffrey Dahlmer or Ted Bundy.

Thank you, deathfrogg.
Puddy is again directing his keen insights and razor-sharp analytic capacities toward…Oh yeah, it’s Pud. He’s so…um…precious.
As you say, DF, GWB was bloodthirsty and just WRONG from an early age. Torturing animals, torturing humans. Executing prisoners without compunction, killing hundreds of thousands – all in a day’s work…oh, wait – he never worked, just moved from one disaster to another via his daddy’s connections. What a foul excuse for a human.
And this is who you defend, Pud? And in attacking Maddow, that is exactly what you’re doing. Remember, GWB even lost that tool Tucker Carlson when GWB pantomimed the deathrow pleadings of Karla Faye Tucker. You could at least choose some conservative that is actually deserving some respect and is an asset to his/her fellow humans…like, um, well, gimme a second. OK, I see your problem…but GWB?!
You really are unhinged if you’re defending GWB. QED.

Tedspews:
The point for case of Claude Jones,the conviction and sentenced was on faulty evidence. This is akin if he confessed to the crime and the only direct evidence was the hair. The mtDNA test showed that the prosecution’s expert witness on the hair sample was wrong.
This isn’t whether Claude Jones was innocent of the crime or not, it is that the state blew their case. He should had gotten a re-trial, instead he was executed.
My guess why the mtDNA testing wasn’t done, it is expensive compare to PCR DNA testing, it is not as absolute, (It is a great and fascinating test for female lineage) as nucleus cell dna testing, like PCR It basically took the Texas Observer and the Innocence project years to get the evidence for testing.
The Courts turned his stay of execution down. They didn’t see any problems with if Jones got a fair trial or not. It isn’t only the original court case that was faulty, but the appeals court rulings as well.

ALERT: Move afoot to retroactively legalize the MERS mortgage database, effectively absolving the banksters of mortgage fraud and depriving local govs of recenue, particularly counties from the recording fee revenue.
When Congress comes back into session next week, it may consider measures intended to bolster the legal status of a controversial bank owned electronic mortgage registration system that contains three out of every five mortgages in the country.
The system is known as MERS, the acronym for a private company called Mortgage Electronic Registry Systems. Set up by banks in the 1997, MERS is a system for tracking ownership of home loans as they move from mortgage originator through the financial pipeline to the trusts set up when mortgage securities are sold.
@6 Oh great – so the banksters will be in charge of deciding who owns which mortgage and property?
Let me guess – their magic system will somehow always show that a big bank owns the goodies. Even properties that are not mortgaged in the first place.

I don’t understand some things. Why is it, that people who call themselves “conservatives”, seem to be perfectly comfortable with the idea of a Fascist police state. Where government only exists to enforce rules set by private individuals or businesses for their own purpose, even if that purpose is the greatest evil.
“Conservatives” seem to WANT:
Private contractors enforcing the law only for the individuals or organizations that can afford to pay for it.
Privately owned for-profit Prisons, supported by those mercenary companies, for the sole purpose of guaranteeing their business models, where any “laws” exist only for the purpose of generating profits for individuals engaging in any relevant commercial activity.
No rules whatsoever on how businesses conduct themselves, even if their conduct and business models include outright theft.
No laws regulating how religious organizations can engage in purely political or commercial activities.
No universal protections of citizens against fraud or violations of their rights as Citizens.
No laws or rules regulating how any such “law enforcement” organizations conduct themselves, even if it means tolerating or even encouraging those organizations to commit murders, kidnappings or fabrications of evidence for political or economic purposes at the behest of privately controlled organizations that are protecting their business models.
That only people with investments in such businesses have any say in what rules are made, how they are enforced against everyone not holding vested interests in a business.
What they all seem to want, is anarchy, where the meanest, most violent and wealthiest organizations are allowed to run completely unfettered by basic rules of modern civilization. It’s like they want a gigantic Mafia in charge, where murder and outright theft would be perfectly acceptable to protect business or individuals engaging in enriching themselves.
Thats not capitalism, thats not a free market. Thats fascism. Thats putting criminals in charge of making and enforcing arbitrary rules set merely by the whims and momentary impulses by the highest ranking individual of the moment. Where laws are reduced to being merely tools that one business or individual can use to compete and dominate their share of a market.
How fucking evil can you get? You like those ideas so much? Move to Somalia. Jack off to pictures of Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, or Adolph Hitler. China in the 1870’s looks like paradise to you people doesn’t it? Or perhaps you would love India in the early 1900’s.
Thats not what the United States was ever intended to be. Thats why there IS a Constitution that says what it says. That is the final law in this country.

It is also very psychopathic to continually write in the third person – as if Puddy fails to want any actual opinions attributed to himself.
Bush signed the order to execute an innocent man. Maybe Bush’s handlers failed to give him all the information or maybe Bush failed to do due diligence himself – in either case it was a miscarriage of justice that should reverberate for along time. Putting ONE innocent man to death is a crime of the state that should NEVER happen – especially when the tools were available at the time to determine guilt or innocense.

Uh, what does political affiliation have to do with corruption? If this turkey is corrupt, bust his ass and prosecute him. I have no problem with that.
My primary complaint has always been, that corruption seems to be a perfectly acceptable means to wealth and power, when it is done by some “christian right winger”. Anything and everything, with no limitations or restrictions is acceptable as long as the individual keeps enriching the right people.
Cross mine palm with silver, and thou shalt be forgiven in all thy sins.
Certainly the old churches and monarchies have proven time and again, how that works as a method of governance. THAT is why the men who founded this country, who had agitated for years for resolution to the massive corruption and oppression they had observed and been subjected to since childhood, wrote the Constitution the way they did. And why they finally took up arms to enforce that resolution.
You conservatives want what was before the Constitution was written, you WANT monarchy. You WANT iron-fisted enforcement of an arbitrarily structured legal framework. You WANT privately controlled government with no input from those that would be governed.
So you have that right to steal, and murder, and corrupt. So you can do whatever the fuck you want, even if it hurts people.

So given that a newspaper in Texas (NOT Rachel Maddow) has broken a story that an innocent man was MURDERED by the state while G.W.Bush was governor and had the power to slow the process down, Puddy just goes with the “attack Rachel Maddow” defense.
Oh Puddy? Imagine if you will, a Governor, presented with a case file casting doubt on a death-row inmate’s conviction, chose to allow the execution to take place. Imagine that a six month delay could either PROVE the convicted man guilty or innocent. If guilty, the bastard got an extra six months. If innocent, the state doesn’t murder an innocent man. I want you to close your eyes and imagine deciding to just kill the prisoner rather than be sure. Can you see it in your mind? Imagine that a Governor relied on third-hand information to KILL a human being rather than being as thorough as possible before violating his faith. (“Thou shalt not Kill” ring a bell?) Imagine that the governor who allowed a citizen of their state be murdered is Democrat Anne Richards and NOT George W. Bush. Would Puddy rant and rave that he doesn’t like the reporter so the report must be CR-RRR-RRR–AAAAZY?
BTW…The trope of Maddow pretending to hope for interview? You could call it many things. Irony, Hyperbole, sarcasm, all of which Puddy misses. But given a murdered innocent citizen vs. a biased media figure Puddy is OUTRAGED over only one. Funny, Puddy likes to type about his faith but given the choice between innocent human life or a media figure Puddy doesn’t like, Puddy’s OUTRAGE is exclusive. According to your own religious claims Puddy, your compassion will be judged.

And then, if you read it, there’s no eyewitness just a “white male weight” and claims that Jones talked about the crime. So without that hair (It could now be argued that the prosecutor committed misconduct while attesting to the “fact” that the hair belonged to Jones) the case is filled with reasonable doubt.
So you’re left with what has been reported. The ONLY bit of physical evidence, which is the primary basis for conviction, is proven false. The circumstancial looks a lot more convincing with a bit of phyusical.

Here is a little tidbit of your boys past, practically an honor student! Jones, who also used the aliases Carl Roy Davis, Butch Jones, and Douglas Ray Starke, had eleven prior convictions in Texas for crimes including murder, armed robbery, assault, and burglary. He served 6 years of a 9-year prison sentence from 1959 to 1963 and three years of a 5-year sentence from 1963 to 1965. In 1976, he was convicted of murder, robbery, and assault in Kansas and received a life sentence. While in Kansas prison, Jones killed another inmate. He was paroled in 1984

Now square these two statements from the same memo you quoted.
“A number of witnesses placed Jones at the scene of the crime, including Leon Goodson, who heard the shots and watched Jones leave the liquor store.”
“After hearing his daughter’s words, however, Mr. Goodson stopped working on the car, stood up, and looked across the street. He and his daughter observed the man walk from the front of the counter to behind the counter, then out from behind the counter again. The door to the store was then pulled open and the man came out walking very briskly. According to Mr. Goodson, the man appeared to be a white male, in his forties, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 200 to 230 pounds in weight, wearing a tight fitting gray jogging shirt and had a “beer belly.” The man got into the passenger side of the vehicle, and the vehicle was driven off toward Oakhurst at a high rate of speed.”

Rachel, why would GWBush give you an interview? You ridicule him for wearing his old job titles. Yet when you interview Carter and Clinton you call them president. Rachel you are an ASS. Loose rules, strange words, no responsibility in her broadcasts. When you are dead wrong with the facts you ridicule those who call you out DR. for being wrong. Even Jon Stewart took you apart.
For liberal Scientist Puddy places this in the realm, AGAIN…
It’s sad Claude Jones was executed and the state staff didn’t place the DNA request in the memo. Of course hindsight is 20-20. Now you are blaming the lack of Claude Jones DNA test request the day before his execution in the final memo is GWBush’s fault Rachel?
And the two Texas courts said no.
So when did the courts turn him down Rachel? It seems the same day Rachel. When were the memos written Rachel? Data and Time Rachel? The fault rests on those who wrote the memo. Yet you twist it around Rachel. Priceless.
See how Rachel ties the 2000 recount to the execution when they are mutually exclusive events?
And you expect GWBush to be interviewed by you and your show, after the world saw you and your insipid commentary on November 2, 2010 covering the mid-term elections the next day when it was ridiculed?

Jesus H. waterboarding Christ Spuddy, you really are a thick motherfucker.
Why I really can’t see any reason to not execute this asshole as described in the article, Bush, as Governor of Texas, oversaw the executions of more people than the entire rest of the country combined. At least two may have actually been innocent of the crimes they were convicted of. Texas cops are NOT renowned for their honesty and dedication to enforcing the law.
Bush, then as now, is a bloodthirsty, lying, Sociopathic son of a bitch. In that book he just “wrote”, he’s admitted to war crimes. He’s previously admitted to torturing small animals as a boy. He’s freely admitted to being such a lush that he couldn’t control his mouth or his hands at State Dinners, which he had nearly every day at exorbitant cost to the Texas Taxpayers.
Bush, Cheney and the rest of their entire administration, were seriously evil and as corrupt as anyone can get. If Bush hadn’t had a wealthy daddy to buy his way out of trouble, he likely would have ended up like Jeffrey Dahlmer or Ted Bundy.

As you say, DF, GWB was bloodthirsty and just WRONG from an early age. Torturing animals, torturing humans. Executing prisoners without compunction, killing hundreds of thousands – all in a day’s work…oh, wait – he never worked, just moved from one disaster to another via his daddy’s connections. What a foul excuse for a human.
And this is who you defend, Pud? And in attacking Maddow, that is exactly what you’re doing. Remember, GWB even lost that tool Tucker Carlson when GWB pantomimed the deathrow pleadings of Karla Faye Tucker. You could at least choose some conservative that is actually deserving some respect and is an asset to his/her fellow humans…like, um, well, gimme a second. OK, I see your problem…but GWB?!
You really are unhinged if you’re defending GWB. QED.
Ted spews:
The point for case of Claude Jones,the conviction and sentenced was on faulty evidence. This is akin if he confessed to the crime and the only direct evidence was the hair. The mtDNA test showed that the prosecution’s expert witness on the hair sample was wrong.
This isn’t whether Claude Jones was innocent of the crime or not, it is that the state blew their case. He should had gotten a re-trial, instead he was executed.
My guess why the mtDNA testing wasn’t done, it is expensive compare to PCR DNA testing, it is not as absolute, (It is a great and fascinating test for female lineage) as nucleus cell dna testing, like PCR It basically took the Texas Observer and the Innocence project years to get the evidence for testing.
The Courts turned his stay of execution down. They didn’t see any problems with if Jones got a fair trial or not. It isn’t only the original court case that was faulty, but the appeals court rulings as well.

I don’t understand some things. Why is it, that people who call themselves “conservatives”, seem to be perfectly comfortable with the idea of a Fascist police state. Where government only exists to enforce rules set by private individuals or businesses for their own purpose, even if that purpose is the greatest evil.
“Conservatives” seem to WANT:
Private contractors enforcing the law only for the individuals or organizations that can afford to pay for it.
Privately owned for-profit Prisons, supported by those mercenary companies, for the sole purpose of guaranteeing their business models, where any “laws” exist only for the purpose of generating profits for individuals engaging in any relevant commercial activity.
No rules whatsoever on how businesses conduct themselves, even if their conduct and business models include outright theft.
No laws regulating how religious organizations can engage in purely political or commercial activities.
No universal protections of citizens against fraud or violations of their rights as Citizens.
No laws or rules regulating how any such “law enforcement” organizations conduct themselves, even if it means tolerating or even encouraging those organizations to commit murders, kidnappings or fabrications of evidence for political or economic purposes at the behest of privately controlled organizations that are protecting their business models.
That only people with investments in such businesses have any say in what rules are made, how they are enforced against everyone not holding vested interests in a business.
What they all seem to want, is anarchy, where the meanest, most violent and wealthiest organizations are allowed to run completely unfettered by basic rules of modern civilization. It’s like they want a gigantic Mafia in charge, where murder and outright theft would be perfectly acceptable to protect business or individuals engaging in enriching themselves.
Thats not capitalism, thats not a free market. Thats fascism. Thats putting criminals in charge of making and enforcing arbitrary rules set merely by the whims and momentary impulses by the highest ranking individual of the moment. Where laws are reduced to being merely tools that one business or individual can use to compete and dominate their share of a market.
How fucking evil can you get? You like those ideas so much? Move to Somalia. Jack off to pictures of Benito Mussolini, Francisco Franco, or Adolph Hitler. China in the 1870’s looks like paradise to you people doesn’t it? Or perhaps you would love India in the early 1900’s.

It is also very psychopathic to continually write in the third person – as if Puddy fails to want any actual opinions attributed to himself.
Bush signed the order to execute an innocent man. Maybe Bush’s handlers failed to give him all the information or maybe Bush failed to do due diligence himself – in either case it was a miscarriage of justice that should reverberate for along time.

Uh, what does political affiliation have to do with corruption? If this turkey is corrupt, bust his ass and prosecute him. I have no problem with that.
My primary complaint has always been, that corruption seems to be a perfectly acceptable means to wealth and power, when it is done by some “christian right winger”. Anything and everything, with no limitations or restrictions is acceptable as long as the individual keeps enriching the right people.
Cross mine palm with silver, and thou shalt be forgiven in all thy sins.
Certainly the old churches and monarchies have proven time and again, how that works as a method of governance. THAT is why the men who founded this country, who had agitated for years for resolution to the massive corruption and oppression they had observed and been subjected to since childhood, wrote the Constitution the way they did. And why they finally took up arms to enforce that resolution.
You conservatives want what was before the Constitution was written, you WANT monarchy. You WANT iron-fisted enforcement of an arbitrarily structured legal framework. You WANT privately controlled government with no input from those that would be governed.
So you have that right to steal, and murder, and corrupt. So you can do whatever the fuck you want, even if it hurts people.
You know what? Fuck you. Fuck you and your creepy, selfish psychopathology. Fuck you and your naked desire for the type of power that exists solely for its own sake, rather than any altruistic intention. This is a nation of laws. Not men. Nobody is exempt from the law.

Oh Puddy? Imagine if you will, a Governor, presented with a case file casting doubt on a death-row inmate’s conviction, chose to allow the execution to take place. Imagine that a six month delay could either PROVE the convicted man guilty or innocent. If guilty, the bastard got an extra six months. If innocent, the state doesn’t murder an innocent man. I want you to close your eyes and imagine deciding to just kill the prisoner rather than be sure. Can you see it in your mind? Imagine that a Governor relied on third-hand information to KILL a human being rather than being as thorough as possible before violating his faith. (“Thou shalt not Kill” ring a bell?) Imagine that the governor who allowed a citizen of their state be murdered is Democrat Anne Richards and NOT George W. Bush. Would Puddy rant and rave that he doesn’t like the reporter so the report must be CR-RRR-RRR–AAAAZY?

Funny, Puddy likes to type about his faith but given the choice between innocent human life or a media figure Puddy doesn’t like, Puddy’s OUTRAGE is exclusive.

Here is a little tidbit of your boys past, practically an honor student! Jones, who also used the aliases Carl Roy Davis, Butch Jones, and Douglas Ray Starke, had eleven prior convictions in Texas for crimes including murder, armed robbery, assault, and burglary. He served 6 years of a 9-year prison sentence from 1959 to 1963 and three years of a 5-year sentence from 1963 to 1965. In 1976, he was convicted of murder, robbery, and assault in Kansas and received a life sentence. While in Kansas prison, Jones killed another inmate. He was paroled in 1984
Chuck spews:
Kerry Dixon also had a lengthy prior record that included murder and two prison terms.
The evidence at Jones’ trial was conclusive. A number of witnesses placed Jones at the scene of the crime, including Leon Goodson, who heard the shots and watched Jones leave the liquor store. A strand of Jones’ hair was found at the murder scene. Also, Timothy Jordan testified against his partners in crime. Jones was convicted of capital murder and received the death sentence. Dixon was convicted of murder and received a 60-year prison term. Jordan received a 10-year prison term.

“A number of witnesses placed Jones at the scene of the crime, including Leon Goodson, who heard the shots and watched Jones leave the liquor store.”
“After hearing his daughter’s words, however, Mr. Goodson stopped working on the car, stood up, and looked across the street. He and his daughter observed the man walk from the front of the counter to behind the counter, then out from behind the counter again. The door to the store was then pulled open and the man came out walking very briskly. According to Mr. Goodson, the man appeared to be a white male, in his forties, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall, 200 to 230 pounds in weight, wearing a tight fitting gray jogging shirt and had a “beer belly.” The man got into the passenger side of the vehicle, and the vehicle was driven off toward Oakhurst at a high rate of speed.”

I love arguing with an idiot like you who cannot even understand his own “facts” and thinks he is right when he is clearly too stoopid to understand or lying. Thanks for being so stoopid and palying the fool! If you are the best the right wing trolls can offer – than you fools deserve the derision you get.
I take back all I said about you lying – really, you are just too dumb to understand. It was hard for me to believe that you were that stoopid – but maybe you are.

Unless you have total access to what went on during an entire ‘interrogation’, you really can’t say anything about the veracity of so called ‘confessions’.
