by — ,

I’ve been busy. So here’s your open thread, a little early.

UPDATE:
Online polls suck. They’re stupid, pointless and misleading… you know, like the one the Puget Sound Business Journal is running on the Cantwell v. McGavick race. So let’s teach them a lesson and “freep” this poll.

    Leave it to a rethug to set this kind of record. Highest sentence ever given to a US Congressman. We brought this piece of shit down and we’re coming for the rest of you crooked conmen waving the GOP flag.

    The GOP culture of corruption has started to catch up with the so-called moral majority. Now Duke baby can bend over for some guy named Hoss and come out of jail ready to head the Log Cabin Republicans. HE HE!

  2. I think something Cunningham said kind of sums up all the GOP moderates right now.

    “I made a very wrong turn. I rationalized decisions I knew were wrong. I did that, sir,” Cunningham, 64, said.

    I’m glad, at least, that Cunningham came around at trial. Slimeballs like Delay certainly wont.

  3. Eight years. He probably won’t die in jail. Hopefully he’ll be an example for all those that have good lives and are tempted by power, money and greed.

  4. JCH:

    Why did you lie about your military service and why won’t you answer the question?

    DA WO: Stop brown-nosing JCH.

  5. I just love the nickname “Dukester” it fits Cunningham’s situtation perfectly. In a few short hours he’s going to be someone’s prison bithch and give new meaning to his nickname.

    The funniest part is: this ultra-conservative, right-wing Christian, neo-CONVICT, whack job is going to understand what “Tookie Williams” style means by someone who looks like Tookie.

    A conservatives worst nightmare comes true.

    Baaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa haaa

    JCH, keep it up, you’re next: My BLOG BITCH.

    Loser.

  6. Only 8 1/2 years? Where is the death penalty when you need it? The man manipulated Defence contracts! In a time of war!!!

    In Texas the place you on old “sparky” for just being non-white.

  7. 5.
    I think their worst nightmare may be that someone would actually compile the stats on the religious right pedophiles and child abusers and find they have all other demographics out numbered ten to one.

    Wow, think of the laws just waiting to be written.

  9. I started arguing with some geezers last summer about what a beardless clam Bush was and they stoutly defended their “blue collar”??????????? hero.

    Not so much ,now.

  10. @ 8:

    Telling a friend that “Republicans suck” is like nudging that same friend at a party and telling him about the 6,000 pound monkey sitting in the corner of the room.

    Tell your friend to vote Democrat in November. Then we’ll get rid of the monkey stink and start the party again. Like when Clinton was president and everybody was making a good wage and the cost of living was low and we weren’t bankrupting America and when the president lied it was because he didn’t want the rest of the world to know he got his wank sucked and when we went to war like Kosovo we had a real plan that worked.

    Ehhh, you’re right, Republicans suck.

    108, Libertarian, I never attended flight school. Hence, I never “washed out”. All a figment of GBS’s vivid “imagination”. All my training was done in Newport, RI and Coronado, Ca, as well as the old Philadelphia Ship Yard. Then, three WESTPACs of 6 monthe each , one ten month IO cruise, and a tour in Coronado at the NAB. Four years at sea, and two ashore.

  24. CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — A sport utility vehicle raced through a popular gathering spot on the University of North Carolina on Friday, clipping and scattering startled bystanders before it sped away, authorities said. Six people — five students and a visiting scholar — were treated at UNC Hospitals, though a hospital spokesman said none was seriously injured.

    Comments:
    The perp is named Mohammed Reza Taheriazar. Let the speculating begin.

  25. LOS ANGELES – Federal officials on Friday raided a squalid house and found 70 illegal immigrants and four suspected smugglers, authorities said. Federal agents and a sheriff’s SWAT team entered the house about 6 a.m., setting off flash-bang grenades as a diversion because there was concern that some of the immigrants were being held hostage, said Frank Johnston, an assistant special agent in charge with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. [70 new Democrat votes for 2006!!! Where will the Democrats bus them???????]

  26. Puddybud = Puddy Freep = Puddy “Freep” Koresh = Puddy Pod Person = TripleP = Foghorn Freephorn

    Hey Foghorn Freephorn I understand you think Brownie did a heck of job.

    Well he must have because he had “A Last Stupor”. Check out the exit light above Brownie’s head and the caption at the lower left.

    Dubya sacrificed one of his only begotten cronies to cleanse the sins of his administration. Praise be.

  27. OMG thats hilarious. And now to go along with gazpacho soup, we can call you Dogberry. Since you almost certainly get that either, Ill give you the quote.

    DOGBERRY Dost thou not suspect my place? dost thou not suspect my years? O that he were here to write me down an ass! But, masters, remember that I am an ass; though it be not written down, yet forget not that I am an ass. No, thou villain, thou art full of piety, as shall be proved upon thee by good witness. I am a wise fellow, and, which is more, an officer, and, which is more, a householder, and, which is more, as pretty a piece of flesh as any is in Messina, and one that knows the law, go to; and a rich fellow enough, go to; and a fellow that hath had losses, and one that hath two gowns and every thing handsome about him. Bring him away. O that I had been writ down an ass!

  29. “I believe that a prosperous, democratic Pakistan will be a steadfast partner for America, a peaceful neighbor for India, and a force for freedom and moderation in the Arab world.” — GWBush, today, speaking at the Purana Qila, Delhi

    Well, there’s another right-wing idiot that thinks Pakistan is an Arab country.

  30. Similar, of course, to the right-wing idiots that think that Iran is an Arab country.

  32. Nineteen people, including five former police officers, have been criminally charged in connection with a string of daring and sometimes violent robberies…SNIP…Palomares, Moya, Duran, Moon, Loaiza and the Ferguson brothers, Armando Contreras-Lopez, 35, of Paramount; Gabriel Loaiza, 30, of Montebello; Michelle Barajas, 38, of Paramount; David Barajas, 32, of Paramount; Jessica Treat, 31, of Whittier; Jesus Estrada Dominguez, 40; Pablo Estrada, 29, of La Puente; Manuel Hernandez, 25, of Pico Rivera…… [New Democrats from Mexico at play!!! Note the names of the felons…………hehe]

  33. Former Cice President Al Gore launched his keynote address at the Four As media conference in Orlando Thursday morning by promising not to do a commercial or his new cable network, Current TV.

    And he didn’t.

    Instead, he urged the media industry to contribute air time to an upcoming public service campaign alerting consumers to the dangers of global warming. Gore spent most of his twenty minute presentation detailing the heavy toll that global warming is taking on the earth’s ecosystem. [Errrrrrrrrr, AL!!! In a capitalist economy you BUY ad time. Typical of a lib looking for a free handout!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

  35. Special for JCH (POS) you really should up your dosage.
    Special for Goldy, get the straightjacket (filter) ready. . . .

  36. 35, [POS] Tree Frog………Fuck you, and fuck off, you liberal Democrat parasite.

  37. Thanks, Goldie, for identifying all the many JCh psuedonyms. Saves time skipping over what is silly at best.

  38. The KCBJ poll is running 50% for McGavick, 49% for Cantwell — looking pretty good considering this is a Bellevue business rag …

  40. You know how the San Francisco something-or-other official people voted that Bush should be impeached?

    Would it not be wonderful if our state legislature voted that our State’s delegation must support or pursue impeachment of Bush whenever possible? Can they do that?

  41. You fuckers can’t even keep one talk radio station afloat in America’s largest radio market and bastion of leftist ideology:

    http://radioequalizer.blogspot.....-icbc.html

    And now, there are going to be kids with iPods recording your beloved Marx preaching teachers and professors so we know who’s spending public money indoctriating the MoveOn.org message instead of teaching.

    If it weren’t for little shitholes like this blog and Daily Kos, and a few poorly attended protests in San Francisco and DC where the Socialist Party hands out pamphlets and you get all worked up about Bush, you would have nothing.

    Every time one of your heroes like Gore, Sheehan, Carter or Moore open their mouths, you lose more votes.

    Maybe you can go read another CNN poll with 40% Democrat respondents and 30% Republicans respondents to convince yourselves that the train is still on the tracks.

    I got to hand it to you though, it’s fun to laugh at you all and watch you whine and fail.

  42. 41 – Fail. Hmmmm? Like I-912 failed? Like David Irons? Like 2 million+ of lawyering for Dino Lossi?

  43. 41, Well stated. Could be the “Post Of The Month”!!!!!!!!!! Regards, JCH

  44. I heard that Laura Bush once pulled a train on her high school football team. They all died of AIDS shortly thereafter.

  45. @ 41 from Brain “The Nostradomus of the blogosphere” Maloney

    What a complete joke!

    Man you idiots actually believe that if you all clap then NeoCon fairies can fly!

    Sad. Sad. Sad.

  46. “Every time one of your heroes like Gore, Sheehan, Carter or Moore open their mouths, you lose more votes.”

    But, unfortunately for you little bed wetters, every time Bush touches something it turns to shit, and the American people have caught on to the bullshit NeoCon games.

    And it is reflected in the 34% approval rating for Bush.

    oh. an 18% for Cheney.

  48. GBS AFTER DOING THIRTY YEARS IN THE NAVY I DONT NEED TO SUCK UP TO ANY ONE.NOW A LESSON FOR YOU AS YOU ARE SO SMART.PEOPLE FAIL EVERY DAY IN THE NAVY BUT 99% GO ON AND END UP DOING A GOOD JOB.ITS NOT A SIN TO FAIL OR AS YOU PUT IT WASH OUT THERE ARE SEALS THAT WASH OUT THERE ARE PILOTS THAT WASH OUT THERE ARE SURFACE PEOPLE THAT WASH OUT AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST THERE ARE SUB SAILORS WHO WASH OUT.THEN THERE IS YOU GBS WHO WASHED OUT OF THE NAVY.NOW WHO DO YOU THINK THE REAL LOSER IS. YOUR A SMART GUY WHY DONT YOU GIVE IT A TRY.

  51. I heard that the Bush twins pull trains every night on the stable boys that keep the family horses. Then they pull trains on the horses!

  53. You liberals are so funny. The references to anal loving like gays do to each other is so nasty here. Why do you liberal support gay marriage knowing their only claim to fame is anal trafficking, and then you make rude comments regarding jail house loving for Randy Cunningham? You guys don’t support gay marriage, or maybe the lack of profundity on this topic is finally appearing from the left!

  55. Donnageddon are you saying another URL posted by your political enemy is a lie? Didn’t you get your silly gay marriage loving ass handed to you last week on this subject? You can’t fathom the demise of liberal radio so the link is a lie? NO ONE WANTS TO LISTEN TO THEIR LIBERALL BULLSHIT! Especially when it’s from Randi Rosen or Al Franken! Get it?

  56. BULLshitter@51: Provide the URL. Or was it your daughters that were recently caught pulling the train and due to embarassment you blame the Bush Daughters? Was one of your daughters doing the nasty with the four immigrant guys in that apartment house near Disney World? There is a video out now. Which daughter was it?

  57. Gurgle @ 41

    I assume the gurgle is the sound of you drinking Kool-aid?

    Talking points don’t cut it anymore. People have gotten use to your spin, and can see right through it now. Why do you think Bush is mired in the 30s and sinking fast?

    Oh, about your “claim” that the poll was weighted unproperly: First, your claim that the poll was not sampled properly, it was 37% Democrat (up from 34% in January), and 28% Republican. (up 1% since January). So, it any one was cut out of the poll, it was independents, and they are equally against Bush so as not to matter. Read the truth:

    http://www.mysterypollster.com.....news_.html

    And strange that the next two polls agree. Read the truth:

    http://www.mysterypollster.com....._from.html

    Warning, Republicans, numbers are discussed, it might be a little over your head judging from your budgets.

    Sure, we lose votes every time Al Gore speaks…, think that if you like. But for every one we may lose, Republicans like George Bush, Tom Delay, The Dukester, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter and Loofah Bill drive ten back.

    So, in a week dominated Bush lying (“I don’t think anybody anticipated the breach of the levees,” but we were totally prepared for them being topped. Just a shame that everything we would have done if they had been topped doesn’t work if they are breached.), where Bush’s and Chertoff’s incompetence made Brownie look good, and Bush apparently forgetting that we are at war and selling some control of our ports off to former backers of the Taliban without even mentioning it to Congress, you come up with a teacher in Colorado teaching an AP class having a point of view. Wow, sucks to be you if that is the best that you can do.

  58. roger tells us how you won the war from the bx.fighting 16 hours a day in the ladies wear.two years as a grunt selling panty hose.did go go to school on the gov.why of course thats what all dems do looooooooooooooser.now go and play in the traffic hopefully you will get run over that would probley make your wife happy.

  60. It is interesting how many posters from both the left and the right think male-male rape is OK.

    HO, ho, ho.

    Rape is rape. A crime of violence – not overheated seual charm, I have had it to the gills with all the sour, vapid and vilely stupid jokes.

    And of course, the subtext, all that supression from you all, hey go act out your fantasy, see some porn, kiss another male and propose sex – you will feel better, and better understand male-male rape is a very sick joke and a crime.

    Had enough of this garbage to last a lifetime. Shame.

  61. Bob from Boeing: From us on the right, we don’t tease about anal sex except when the likes of donnageddon, clueless, etc start on the DeLay, Cunningham. As a result, JCH starts the Tookie love! You all love to say how gay marriage is so great! Yet why do liberals like to degrade gays by writing about gay rape in prisons? Because they use gays as the butt-end of their liberal jokes.

    Your friends on the left use how you screw for their humorous benefit. You need to yell at them Bob!

  63. MWS said “we don’t tease about anal sex except when the likes of donnageddon, clueless, etc start on the DeLay, Cunningham. As a result, JCH starts the Tookie love!”

    I NEVER talked about any of these criminals getting anally raped in prison.

    I talked about them being hung at the end of a rope.

  65. Donnageddon you wrote this:

    “Cunningham was blubbering when he confessed.. he blubbered when he was sentenced.

    He will not blubber when he is incarcerated.

    ALl the prison cell walls will echo is:

    YOOOOOWWWWW!!!!!! OUUUCH!!!!!

    These same cries of pain ill be repeated by DeLay, Frist, Bush, Cheney… and all the NeoCon bastards that sold out our country!

    Long Live the USA and its Dream of Freedom and Liberty!

    Commentby Donnageddon— 3/3/06@ 11:16 pm”

    LIAR. How does it feel being exposed for the lies you tell?

  66. MWS, did you read the post I made directly after that?

    I was talking about them being hung, you dipshit.

  68. Letme help you out, MWS, have someone read this to you:

    @ 29 “Horrible grammar” is obviously foregiveable.

    Selling out our country is a sin never justifiable.

    The NeoCons will hang for sins against humanity.

    The Hague awaits.

    Oddly enough, the rapture will not be what the Evangicals expect.

    It will be a “cleansing” of the Death Cult of NeoConservatism.

    Prescott Bush was Hitler’s best friend. All republicans are therefore Nazis. Case closed.

    Thank you for your open mind. Please close it before the flies get in…

  71. No, I don’t want to talk about this shit.

    I want to talk about impeaching Bush.

    Who else wants Bush impeached?

  72. Seems them wormy thingys made it where they shouldn’t…

    You gonna tell your Momma you got maggots in your brain?

    (Um, just to ensure coverage, can you explain how this happened? Kinda walk us through how you exposed your mind and decided that all points, even knife, should be covered?)

  73. Heath @71 (sorry for @72)

    No, I don’t want to talk about this shit.

    I want to talk about impeaching Bush.

    Why? What did Bush do or fail to do, IYO?

  74. Donnageddon, indeed you spoke of hanging. But to the casual observer you were answering someone else in #32. I see no connection between 30 and 32. If you say 32 is an extension of 30, I’ll withdraw your name as a liberal gay sex basher.

  76. marks @ 73:

    He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

    He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

    He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

    He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

    He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

    He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

    He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

    In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

  77. Roger Rabbit:

    The minnow has posted the following at his site:

    “Unfortunately, Deanron has the taxpayer-funded legal services of Prosecuting Attorney Norman Maleng’s office to help him evade disclosure, we have to advance our own money out-of-pocket to defend our rights. Please do what you can to help. Freedom isn’t free, but it’s less expensive than the alternative.”

    Does that mean that he is giving up his claims for attorney fees? Surely he doesn’t want to force any extra expense on the taxpayers.

  78. I want to talk about impeaching Bush.

    Who else wants Bush impeached?

    I do but what good is it if Cheney accedes to power?

    Just try to make do with the following: the bad news is that GWB has a thousand or so days left in office, the good news is that tomorrow will be one less day.

  79. marks @ 73:

    He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers.

    Sounds ominous. If I refuse something you want, I am obstructing?

    He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

    Umm, isn’t this a role of Congress? I have Kool-aid, want some? In other words, WTF are you babbling about?

    He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

    Now, this is really stupid. What, we get a Patriot Act voted ‘yes’ substantially by your party?

    He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.

    Umm, what part of “National Guard” do you not understand? Or is this another “Patriot Act” component?

    He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

    What? He’s the fucking president…Is he no longer part of our “Civil Power” apparatchuk?

    He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

    OK, now I understand. Bat guano. Thanks…

  80. marks:

    You really should google any of those clauses. You may gain some enlightenment.

  81. JDB,

    King George he is not. If you think…oh, never mind. You posted it, so you must think it…

  82. marks:

    You are right, King George talked and questioned trees, Bush just stated blankly during the Katrina briefing. There is a difference.
