"Why do you keep saying 'vile Republicans'? Surely all Republicans aren't vile? Some of my best friends are Republicans." --Amy from Biluxi

Amy, Amy, Amy. You need new friends!

A one-time mistake is a sin, but easily forgiven. Anyone who has stuck with the Repupblican party since it became the Axis of Evil (greed, power, hatred) is on the dark side, or is too proud to be ignorant to be a positive force in the world.

In just the last few months, look at the number of times Republican politicians have called law enforcement agencies to attack Democratic politicians. Look at Republican lies about Iraq. Look at Republican lies about the economy, environment, health, etc. "Leave no child behind"! "Healthy forests"!

Whom would Jesus hate? No one! Whom would Jesus be pissed off at -- hypocrits abusing their power to steal from the less fortunate. Oh. That would be the self-proclaimed "Christian" kooks, and the Republican party.

"Vile", like California Republican legislators who conspired to wreck California through the budget process in order to aid the recall effort. "Vile" like DICK Cheney doing his best to keep the California Energy Rip-off going. Poor DICK's buddies only stole $45 billion. (And still went bankrupt....) Not coincidentally, the California budget deficit is $45 billion.

Vile, vile, vile.

Another American soldier dead.

"Mission Accomplished!" --George W. Bush

[7:36:41 PM]
Go team! Bush & Co. are on a witch hunt to track down any Air Marshalls who talk to the press.

Can't or won't find Osama, but any Air Marshall who let out the news of cutbacks on high-risk flights is in trouble.

Especially fun is that they use the vile PATRIOT Act to threaten Air Marshalls.

Hey. Air Marshalls are people who signed up to protect us from terrorists. They were badly trained, badly managed, and badly funded, but there is some sliver of value to having them there. Maybe some of the people who signed up just want the excuse to fly around and carry a gun, but most of them were probably glad to do something to protect other Americans.

So *these* are the people Bush & Co. are hunting down like they were Texas Democrats.

Bush is the worst president in history.

[7:19:55 PM]
Just for the record.... The California recall is a Bush-backer conspiracy. Issa may have been duped, but Arnold "Gropenator" Schwarzenegger is just another Bush stooge. It's just another part of Rove's nation-wrecking strategy.

You could say The Groper isn't against gun control, abortion, or gay rights, but that would betray your ignorance. The Bushes only use the idiot right-wing kooks. The goal of the Bushes is power and stealing money -- money that you count in billions of dollars. The Groper is happy to be a front man.

[Update: The good news is that the guy didn't bring the missile in his luggage, as one report I read suggested. That really would have been too stupid for words, all the way around. The bad news is that the hype is all about an attempt to assassinate Bush. The FBI suggested shooting down one airliner. This nutcase arms-dealer-wannabe is supposed to have suggested the FBI buy FIFTY missiles, in order to shoot Air Force One. Give us a freaking break. Russia could have arrested the guy there, but in a gesture of good will and thanks for Bush's support on Chechnya, they let the FBI have the propaganda-juice.]

Great. So now we caught some idiot who snuck a missile into the country to sell to the FBI. Demand and Supply. What it proves is that we should let this silly "Homeland Security" group be more effective -- give them enough money to do their job and protect us. Bush The Dimwit, of course, would rather give hundreds of billions of dollars to his vile, filthy-rich cronies than spend a billion or two to make the country safer.

Just remember, the shame here isn't that someone was willing to sell a missile to an FBI agent, the shame is that Bush & Co. would rather loot the US treasury than defend us.

Bush is the worst president in history.

On second thought, this "arms dealer" episode may be nothing but propaganda. For goodness sake. The guy brought a missile in his checked baggage. Are we supposed to believe he wouldn't have been caught? The official opinion of licentious radio is that this was a media spectacle from the start, and that the idiot dealer-wannabe was set up -- any surface-to-air missiles are normally detected by airport bomb detectors, thank you. If Bush wanted to protect us, he would make sure that all luggage on planes that come into the country were screened for the presence of surface-to-air missiles, bombs, illegal aliens, etc.

This is what the FBI does to distract from the cover-up of the anthrax assassin.

[6:59:09 PM]
Wooo hoo. Caught one of Saddam's bodyguards. They say. They usually get to catch these guys two or three times. Have they caught this one before?

<flame>The propagandists in the military are too pathetic for words. In a just society, they would be taken out and shot.</flame>

"WMD trailers". "Beans." "Paint thinner." "Saddam's bodyguard." The American military has become the Keystone Cops of Propaganda. Everyone who has ever had the idea of serving our country is dishonored by this. It's time to stop. I reckon this is what Eisenhower warned us about. We should clean house.

In the meantime, what are we to do? Grin and bear it? (Bare it?)

Why don't we fire these bozos, starting with Bush? Remember all of the times Bush raised the "alert level" to "orange", and it turned out to be both bogus, and obviously bogus? Or Cheney's lies about Iraqi nukes? It's time to put these guys behind us

"Osama who?" -- Donny Rumsfeld

licentious. Hey, we're Fair and Balanced [noTM].

[10:16:11 AM]
Now that there's a toy "George AWOL Bush" doll, how long before someone buys one of those and 300 regular GI Joes, and drapes the regular GI Joes in flags -- because they're dead -- and has Bush repeat over and over: "Mission Accomplished"?
