Scarborough Country Revolt..?
Save Yourself, Blame Bush
By Joe Scarborough
Sunday, September 17, 2006
I can't help but feel sorry for my old Republican friends in Congress who are fighting for their political lives. After all, it must be tough explaining to voters at their local Baptist church's Keep Congress Conservative Day that it was their party that took a $155 billion surplus and turned it into a record-setting $400 billion deficit.
How exactly does one convince the teeming masses that Republicans deserve to stay in power despite botching a war, doubling the national debt, keeping company with Jack Abramoff, fumbling the response to Hurricane Katrina, expanding the government at record rates, raising cronyism to an art form, playing poker with Duke Cunningham, isolating America and repeatedly electing Tom DeLay as their House majority leader?
How does a God-fearing Reagan Republican explain all that away?
Easy. Blame George W. Bush. <more & more>

Interesting article by Joe Scarborough... Blame Bush? Funny, the Gerbil and company and the GOP koolaid drinkers blamed Bill Clinton everything that has happened in this country including the 9/11 attack. As much as the Gerbil is an idiot and who is responsible for all of the graft GOP politicians that is being exposed and they want to point the finger only at the Gerbil, three fingers should be pointed back at the GOP politicians.. They are just as responsible for this mess in this country as well as the Gerbil. They made a decision to join the Gerbil's base and sold themselves to the devil. I haven't heard one graft GOP politicians ever utter the word that they will take personal responsibility for what they did to this country and constituents. Otherwise, the one-armed bandit defense is getting nauseating and making their people in their states determined to want a change.
Please allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
PLEASED TO MEET YOU
Well they do have a new strategy ;-)
New Anti-Terrorism Strategy
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/52704
The White House recently released an updated version of its anti-terrorism strategy, "National Strategy For Combating Terrorism." Here are its main new components:
* Setting up decoy "pro-terrorism centers" around nation to capture terrorists
* Staging, foiling series of attacks
* Ignoring terrorists so they get frustrated and go away
* Introducing new slogan: "If you see, hear, feel, smell, or taste something, say something"
* Holding all Americans until they feel safe again
* Increasing national wait times
* Allocating $1.2 trillion for development of terror-seeking missiles
* Stopping terrorism for real this time
On a side note, the ABC/GOP movie "Path of 9/11" didn't do well in the Nielsen ratings overall:
Prime-time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research for Sept. 4-10. Top 20 listings include the week's ranking, with viewership for the week and season-to-date rankings in parentheses. An "X" in parentheses denotes a one-time-only presentation.

2. (12) "House," Fox, 19.65 million viewers.
3. (X) NFL Football: Miami vs. Pittsburgh, NBC, 19.2 million viewers.
4. (X) "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 14.50 million viewers.
5. (X) "Thursday Night Pre-Kick," NBC, 14.02 million viewers.

8. (37) "The O.T.," Fox, 12.12 million viewers.
9. (X) "Football Night in America," NBC, 11.63 million viewers.
10. (98) "The Simpsons," Fox, 11.626 million viewers.

13. (X) "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 10.33 million viewers.
14. (116) "Family Guy," Fox, 9.93 million viewers.
15. (X) "CSI: Miami," CBS, 9.73 million viewers.
16. (26) "60 Minutes," CBS, 9.55 million viewers.
17. (X) "CSI: NY," CBS, 9.43 million viewers.
18. (61) "Prison Break," Fox, 9.29 million viewers.
19. (37) "Law & Order," NBC, 9.23 million viewers.
20. (71) "Bones," Fox, 9.13 million viewers.
And I wonder what number was "Path of 9/11?"
Hey, didn't I read something about Sen. Jon Kyle being dirty? as in graft?
You should see him on "60 Minutes".
PS. Didn't that Scarborough joker have a young woman work for him that died a strange death? Enough said.

Very interesting.
Scarborough is trying to save his butt when the boom begins.. Many of the GOP are all turning on one another and pointing the finger to the Gerbil. the GOP is no different from corporate cut throat businesess. Everybody is blaming everybody. Ken Lay blamed Andrew Fastow for the Enron collapse and mastermind. And my question to Lay is why was he CEO and why was getting paid? Nevertheless, the GOP need to blame someone for the 6 years of mess in this country. And Scarborough is the biggest hypercrite. While they stesling and living the hog for 6 years and eating good, now that the stuff is hitting the fan, now the GOP wants to play the blame game.
I think I see the future for Ney:
Man sues for bad hairpiece
;-)
Look at Anon's posting at 8:10 in Fitz's previous post.
Practical Matter is.
Really Cheap Shot
I read the WMR about Fitz.. i certainly don't believe aword about WMR spin on Fitz covering up on the 1993 World Trade Center or Gonzo having a noose over Fitz in the leak case.. It was a cheap shot from that Anon from the previous post. That tells you some of ignorant trolls that leave negative droppings on the blog.. Small minds for small trolls..
I guess Fitz must get more hits on his blog that WMR. Me thinks WMR is jealous.
RR,
Thats good news :-) Bob is in CA with Gore Vidal, I'll let him know.
S-Q good song pick :-D
Another shameful chapter of American history...
Relocation of American Japanese Citizens into American Concentration Camps
WWII propaganda film made by U.S. Government
-----------------
Blame Bush, Joe go blow...he's a prejudiced jerk.
Yes SPB I read that.I thought Wayne was a little more credible than that...besides Fitz wasn't the top gun on that one.
--------------
Ray McGovern announced Navy intel has notified some that they have orders to ship out Oct 1 and be in place by Oct 26 to strike Iran.
The Navy is considering "passing" on this illegal order which Bush is claiming he doesn't need Congress to approve
PS From Bellville News Democrat:
U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald has acknowledged that his office is investigating Blagojevich's hiring practices, including whether the process was manipulated to favor political clout and skirt laws giving veterans and others first crack at state jobs.
Blagojevich has long maintained his hiring process was "blind" to the names of applicants, but a series of Associated Press articles showed that the governor's aides were approving hires by name as late as fall 2004.
Such patronage practices have already led to the conviction of four Chicago officials, including a former key aide to Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Robert Sorich, 43, and three other men were convicted by a federal court jury July 6 of taking part in a scheme under which fraud allegedly was used to cover up violations of a court order barring patronage hiring.
---------------
Way to go Fitz ;-) Vets should never be cast aside-the rich have already made their money on the backs of vets
"Me thinks WMR is jealous." And maybe Fitz should add WMR to list not to contact for an interview when the case is over. Aot of WMR are over the top at times... Everybody has spin on this case and especially why Fitz released Porkrind. One thing I caught from that article that Luskin had a si-called 10 page report from Fitz stated that Porkrind wasn;t ever going to be charged. What I want to know is where is this 10 page report and how come there was mention of Luskin contact of Porkrind through his blackberry?
How Bush Rules: Torture and The Quest For Unfettered Power
“We do not torture,” President Bush has said time and again. But Bush has approved techniques that are defined as torture under the Geneva Conventions. In fact, he abrogated U.S. compliance with Article 3 of the Conventions that specifically prohibits torture. Indeed, his then White House counsel and now attorney general Alberto Gonzales contemptuously referred to the Conventions as “quaint.”
CLICK
Wmr is too long, he's trying to say the release letter of Porkchop was 10 pages long? To that little pipsqueak lawyer? If that was the case, those freaks would have waved it around. And Mr. Fitz would have been smarter to call a press conference to really cover his butt if he needed to do it, he's not stupid. Desperate neocon porker looking for some slop. LOL.
(I only have to see Bout and Condi's names and that pisses me off. Would an arms dealer hesitate to sell to both sides of a conflict? Would Ambien play both sides? Mass Murderers.) tk
How does it make you guys feel to be called "the teeming masses"? The teeming masses are not going to have anything to do with voting Republicans back in after six years of being the rubber-stamp or plantation congress. Sorry Scarborough, it won't work.
Definitely a lot of holes in WMR story. Waiting patiently for the end, where most of the journalists covering the Plame story look like fools.
And yes I was wondering about that report too. Sounds fishy.

BLACK FRIDAY
Wayne madsen would be wise to watch the news....
AIPAC out of balance policy is debated, the truth is revealed....
Smart people do not let foreign governments over-ride their own interests......we need to cut off foreign entanglement, she is correct.
Looks like he loaded his pants, S-Q. ROFL! Eww!
read it and weep:
We allwill be wondering..
From WMR:
Therefore, an unusual "SEALED vs. SEALED" indictment of the grand jury against Rove remains sealed to this day and Rove attorney Robert Luskin maintains a veil of secrecy around a 10-page letter, dated June 12, 2006, that stated that Fitzgerald did not intend to charge Rove in the leak of Valerie Plame Wilson's name and identity to a number of journalists. Nor did Fitzgerald charge either Rove or Libby with the underlying crime of violating the Intelligence Identities Protection Act -- an act cited by federal appellate Judge David Tatel in a February 2005 as having "serious" national security implications.
I hope Fitz make a note of the date of that so-called 10 page "phantom letter." Interesting WMR's spin about the smurf. They must have been smoking something of this latest spin. LOL!
Anon:
Here is where he loaded his pants!!
LOLMAO!!!
Poo-Poo
Good one S-Q! I bet Laura will finally get some peace when dubya gets sent up the river. heehee Fitz will be her secret hero, cause she can't ever say it outloud.
Listening to Karen anon, I've seen her speak a couple of times. She's another American hero!
I noticed how the journalist that supported and lied for Bush are doing a 360 degree turn. Tweety is laying low and Tim Russert is finally asking the tough questions. As the White House spins the CIA case and blames Fitz it only gives Fitz more exposure. Now that's a good thing. As the world knows the name of an honest smart devoted attorney. Bush is a great PR man. Gonzo is going to be selling tomatoes at a the road side stand.
I'd like to take a pliers to Gonzo's rotten tomatoes. Quaint, snooty little liar---maybe he should go serve in Iraq.
(I joke, not a violent person here nor do I believe in torture unless it is tried on the person suggesting the technique first.)
Maybe Gonzo should try picking spinach in the fields.
He should be really good at that..

For those listening to Karen. Warning, graphic.
Same as Desert Storm bodies left in the tanks.
T--There is all kinds of monkey business going on in Illinois with hiring. Corruption is a 'religion' here. I know some folks just switched a job ad to favor a buddy who will soon be hired. They did not know this buddy was going to apply so there was a before job ad and an after job ad which favored the buddy. As a result of what comes next, a qualified person with a physical challenge who is a little bit more limited in the types of job choices will be passed over. After the discrepancy in the job ads got pointed out, they switched the job ad back to the original. Of course, the person who questioned it kept copies of the 'evolution' of the job ad.
That is just a little tiny thing compared to everything else going on here. It is just a little minnow in a Lake Michigan filled with corruption.
Jackie said :Tim Russert is finally asking the tough questions.
I have noticed;-) Glad to finally see Tim get red in the face with anger over some of the lame repeated sound bites Cheney was giving him. As well as showing Cheney an old clip of himself lying! ha-haven't seen THAT on American news in years
Dennis too? That's even better RR. He is a super public servant-one of the few Ohio can be proud of.
As to today's Meet the Press with the Allen dude. I had no idea that a person in his position would keep a hanging rope from the slavery days. I just saw in my mind the pictures of those people hanging from trees. Allen said he had to learn as Russert said but you were old when you held office how long do you have to learn. We are really getting to know the real people and not just the title people.
Roger:
That is great news on the voting fraud!! :)
T:
How did your interview go today? When do you plan to go home now?
Hi S-Q,
Thanks, it went great. The grad student is doing her dissertation on the Iraq war and military families. I'm looking forward to seeing it when she's done.
I would have liked to stay until Tuesday to see Scott Ritter, but I have tons of stuff going on-especially with all my new info! so I may skip town after I complete my super duper top secret mission tomorrow-or who knows maybe they'll run me outta town heehee
my super duper top secret mission tomorrow-or who knows maybe they'll run me outta town heehee

LOLMAO!

Jackie:
Hmmm...the KKK is still alive and well...I wonder if he belongs to it?
MR. RUSSERT: This is not the first time that people have looked at your record, and, and, and raised questions. The New York Times said, “In 1984, as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, Mr. Allen opposed a state holiday honoring the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After being elected governor in 1993, he issued a proclamation honoring Confederate History Month.” And the Associated Press says, “Allen used to keep a Confederate flag in his living room, a noose in his law office and a picture of Confederate troops in his governor’s office.” Can you imagine black Americans, black Virginians reading that? What would they be thinking about George Allen, and why did you do that?
MEET THE PRESS--TRANSCRIPT
Hey Roger:
Look at this...
Republican Bloomberg to help Lieberman
Allen sounds like another dangerous thug that has no business making decisions for this country. Must have been some funny acting voting machines last time he got elected. That must end!
No new Iraq plan, no new course and no plan to bring the troops home. Just one lone statement of “stay the course” from a man with no plan and no brain. Even a child could see this is a scam from this sham of an administration. Bush should be ashamed of himself.
All these damn Senators have drinking problems and they are telling everyone else how to run their lives? They want to control how we think?
They will need a drink when they sober up and realize what they've done to our country and the world. Evil-doers from hell. Live and let live.
Top of the mornin' to all....
Howard Dean made reference to Macca Allen previously..in regard to ater visiting him while GOV..that he was not fit to serve..this is probably what he observed...
Morning All,
Yea S-Q, you're too far to call for bail heehee. Those involved in the non-criminal super secret act laughed and laughed-and immeadiately want to become part of the plan;-)
Yes, I look forward to seeing the look on their faces, those ole codgers will think they are having flashbacks from the 60's heehee
I'll let you know how it goes if I don't get back too late tonight;-)
NO, that is interesting about the hiring-I hope I don't run into that here in DC-next time I'm here I may bring a resume...
Have a great day, folks-even if it is a Monday;-)
Hi GMNUK, that's excellent-click on my T for email address-I'm still in dc today:-)
PS- here till Tues-I just couldn't miss Scott Ritter!
