Bateman strikes again

Like to see the Enron beneficiaries (Bush, DeLay, GOP and anyone else pay up like we know they should

of course the bitch of the matter is we know the rat-bags wont'.

More on COngress

or, more appropriately "moron Congress

sad but true.

Let freedom reign

...apparently just not here in "'Murika" where, during a vote on HR-4818 (International oversight of Federal Elections) yesterday, Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D-Jacksonville,FL) was censured for her remarks reminding everyone of how the Bush Junta stole the 2000 Elections.

the remarks that pissed off the ReTHUGlicans were:

"I come from Florida, where you [the GOP leadership] and others participated in what I call the United States coup d'etat. We need to make sure that it doesn't happen again. Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it. No we're not going to get over it and we want verification from the world."

Perhaps she's have gotten in less trouble if she had followed the lead of "Swingin'" Dick Cheney and told the R's to "go fuck themselves"

Hmmm... Not an encouraging (or very democratic) sign

While the lapdog/Whore media here in America is giving hours and hours of coverage to the Martha Stewart sentencing, they are conveniently ignoring allegations that Iraqi Interim PM Iyad Allawi personally executed six suspected insurgents.

It's like Jello said: "America wants fuel, to get it it needs puppets..."

Good Luck

These guys might have good enough intentions,

Iyad Allawi said he was creating the General Security Directorate, a domestic intelligence agency, which he hoped would infiltrate and expose those behind an insurgency that has raged since U.S.-led forces toppled Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) last year.

"We are determined to bring down all the hurdles that stand in the way of our democracy," Allawi told a news conference, a day after a suicide car bomb in Baghdad killed 11 people and the governor of the northern city of Mosul was assassinated. "Terrorism will be terminated, God willing."

but how long do you think it'll be before Negroponte has them re-enacting the Great Honduran Flying Nun Adventure

Tucker Carlson

Asshole?

or

Waste of skin?

In 1994, an eight-year old girl named Valerie Lakey was playing in a wading pool. She got caught in a defective drain. Her intestines were ripped from her body by the suction. She is now 17. She will have to be fed through a tube, 12 hours a day, for the rest of her life. In 1997, John Edwards won her family a $25 million judgment, of which he took a portion. The judgment helped jump-start his political career.

On the first day of last year, as part of his opening comments on Crossfire, this is how the incident was described by Tucker Carlson, whom public and private broadcasting networks tumble all over themselves to hire: "Four years ago, he (Edwards) was a personal-injury lawyer specializing in Jacuzzi cases."

Jacuzzi cases.

An eight-year old who got disemboweled.

Jacuzzi cases.

A child who'll have to be fed through a tube for as long as she lives.

Jacuzzi cases.

Now, I know it's a terrible thing when Whoopi Goldberg makes salacious fun of C-Plus Augustus's last name. I know that society may simply collapse. But here is a professional communicator at the top of his profession who, because he couldn't come up with anything else to say at the moment, smugly dispatches the tragedy of a child whose guts were ripped out. (Later in the same show, he told co-host James Carville to "Lighten up," about his comments.) It was an interesting evening -- not only should Tucker Carlson have lost every job in the professional media that he has, and not only did he lose forever any right to criticize anyone for intemperate speech, he at that moment should have been shunned by decent people for the rest of his sorry life.

Jacuzzi cases.

Christ.
