    How to catch a Conservative in the act of lying:

    Note the date/time stamps.

    http://www.horsesass.org/index.php?p=1332

    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.

    Comment by windie — 1/24/06 @ 3:59 pm [No, but, Windie, have YOU ever “buckled up” in a Mach 2 F-106? Not for pussies. I washed out of Naval Air [bad GI] and served Surface Line [1110]. Flying [and training] in military jets are not for the Bill Clintons of the world.]

    I served a short stint on the “mini-twat” USS Manitowoc County LST 1180. Hated the Marines, they seemed to have nothing to do but PT and wait in line for chow. The bastards.

    Comment by GBS — 1/24/06 @ 5:43 pm [True, but once ashore, they are the best. I couldn’t do what they do. Did you know Hillary said she tried to join the Marines? Roger Rabbit believes her!! He believes anyone who will ensure his “guvment” check comes every month.]

    The last little dig there is just to back up what I was saying all along, JCH admitted that the fucking Jar Heads were better than him.

    NO self respecting sailor makes a fucking statement like that.

    You would think that what is good for the goose would be good for the gander, but, sadly, it isn’t:

    “But for once, we thought to ourselves: “Why, Wonkette, why? Why not embrace the administration’s unique vision? Why do we always have to tear down the efforts of our elected officials? Why not rise to the spirit of the occasion, and set an example for others to follow?”

    Needless to say, we started feeling really good about ourselves. And so, we decided to call the offices of Senator Pat Roberts.

    The phone picks up.

    “Good morning, you’ve reached the office of Senator Pat Roberts.”

    “Good morning, my name is Margot, known as Missy, and I’m calling from the Washington, DC offices of Wonkette. I hate to take up too much of your time, and I don’t know if Senator Roberts or any of his aides are currently on the phone, but could you be a dear and just conference me in on one of their calls so I can listen in?”

    [a long period stunned silence]

    “I’m sorry. You’re with who?”

    “The Washington DC office of Wonkette.”

    “And you’d like us to conference you in to one of our calls?”

    “That’s right.”

    “And could I ask why?”

    “Why sure! I just want to, you know, listen in.”

    “I’m sorry. We can’t do that.”

    “Really? Gosh. I’m a little surprised, considering the Senator’s voting record!”

    “I’m sorry.”

    “Well, that’s okay. Thanks anyway!”

    “Goodbye.”

    Gee whiz! We were only trying to participate in all the great new laws!

    Oh well, maybe some of you might have better luck with, let’s say, Senator Hagel!”

    Please tell me that Tom Delay is NOT the best rethug in his district. Man, it’s sad when a thug like him beats 3 other thugs with 64% of the vote.

    I realize it was a party loyalist primary, but cripes!

    On the positive side…if rethugs honor a crap criminal like Delay with 64%…maybe that will enlighten the rest of the electorate.

  9. Libertarian spews:

    Wednesday, 3/8/06 at 11:42 am

    Here’s a thought. The senators and representatives from each state are elected (we hope) to represent each state’s interests at the national level. Since these ladies and gents are representing the individual states, why aren’t they paid by each individual state rather than the federal government? Why are they considered to be federal employees at all? Seems to me that they should be state employees.

  10. clay shaw spews:

    Wednesday, 3/8/06 at 12:16 pm

    DeLay has done 80% in his district since 1984 ( more unintentional Rep. irony ). 64% is a comedown. Still and all, his district is heavily weighted toward RRWQ ( Rich Republican Welfare Queens ) and are unlikely to vote for the Republican crook they don’t know over the one they do.

    The crooks and cooks on the right just voted along party lines to stop a Dem bill that would have outlawed gifts from lobbyists. Thanks. We’ll be using that vote to further illustrate that the republican party is the party of corruption.

    “Please tell me that Tom Delay is NOT the best rethug in his district. Man, it’s sad when a thug like him beats 3 other thugs with 64% of the vote.”

    The guy the RNC pays to hack the voting machines voted for DeLay, and that’s the only vote DeLay needs to get 64%.

    Roger, the reason I brought up who pays for senators and representatives is that I think both bodies need to be more repsonsive to their individual states versus the lobbyists of K Street.

    RR @ 8, If I am not mistaking the Texas primaries allow crossover voting. Severl blogs around the country were trying to get their democratic base to crossover and vote for DeLay. The reasoning behind this is to keep the hammer in the limelight so that more of his sundry affairs can be brought to light.

    Roger and Gang you will get a charge out of this!
    This is too funny not to share — no offense intended…

    “I Miss Bill Clinton”

    It doesn’t matter what party you belong to – this is hilarious. From a show on Canadian TV. there was a black comedian who said he misses Bill Clinton. “Yep, that’s right – I miss BillClinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President.
    Number 1 – He played the sax.
    Number 2 – He smoked weed.
    Number 3 – He had his way with ugly white women. Even now? Look at him… his wife works, and he don’t! And, he gets a check from the government every month.
    Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with “Clinton Soup,” in honor of one of the nations’ most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water. Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton.The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada.
    When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, “I don’t know, I never had one.” The Clinton revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.” Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between Bushes.”

    What the hell — we don’t need to know what’s in our GMO food products anyway, right? You gotta hand it to the ‘Pukes, though — the UAE port deal mess managed to divert enough attention (hello, media?) away from this issue that they floated it in under the public’s awareness. Food labels just don’t provide the same kind of infotainment value as does some scary tale of Ay-rabs taking over our ports.

    Oh, and “your” is a possessive adjective; this is different than “you’re”, which is a contraction of “you” and “are”.

    Oh, and one other thing: we place a space (or, with a typewriter, two spaces) after a period. Helps with legibility. Didn’t they teach you this stuff in “ablue jacket” school, or whatever they call it?
