Dick Cheney is a coward, posing as a tough guy. The pose isn't working anymore.

He's completely unfit to govern, unfit to represent us and unfit to wear the American flag on his lapel. The heart that beats underneath it has nothing but contempt for what it stands for.

Maher on Leno: Bush a 'Dolt' and 'a Gilligan Who Cannot Find His Ass with Two Hands'

Maher soon added: “Okay, and this is the problem with the Democrats, is that the alternative actually would've been a better President both times. Al Gore would have been a better President. John Kerry would have been a better President. Not because they are Democrats. Because they read.”

Pelosi to Cheney: Blow Me

Not taking Dick's crap anymore. Nancy from her blog:

Blair is not leaving Basra because the British mission has been accomplished.

He is leaving because he has concluded that it cannot be, and that if he tries any further it will completely sink the Labor Party, perhaps for decades to come.

Let me clear it up for any moron with lingering doubts: It’s worse. It’s over. You lost.

You lost the day your tanks rolled into Baghdad to the cheers of your imported, American-trained monkeys. You lost every single family whose home your soldiers violated. You lost every sane, red-blooded Iraqi when the Abu Ghraib pictures came out and verified your atrocities behind prison walls as well as the ones we see in our streets. You lost when you brought murderers, looters, gangsters and militia heads to power and hailed them as Iraq’s first democratic government. You lost when a gruesome execution was dubbed your biggest accomplishment. You lost the respect and reputation you once had. You lost more than 3000 troops. That is what you lost America. I hope the oil, at least, made it worthwhile.

The GOP no more cares about soldiers than farms care about shit.

This is just the greatest post.

Wow. What if your Dad was such a republ(-ic)an asshole, that killing yourself was the only way out?

The GOP refuses to deal with reality.

They refuse to deal with the losing war, the fact that we treat veterans like shit, that Bush's plan is doomed. They think their cowardly words matter.


...And when anyone intrudes on this cowardly, disgusting picture, you get the vile spectacle of Brit Hume, adulterer, lecturing Jack Murtha on service to this country.

...Yet, he dares to tell Jack Murtha that he doesn't know anything about the military. Who the fuck is he kidding? Anyone with a clue knows he's the Pentagon's go to guy. They are so wedded to their fantasies, that they lie to people. If Juan Williams was a man, he would have told Hume to just stop fucking lying.

Hume's lack of self-knowledge would be comic if it weren't so hateful. Like so many white conservative males, he's seething with anger and touchy superiority, yet has apparently convinced himself that it's everybody else who's being emotional. He--he sees things as they are, with rational proportion and worldly perspective; it's women and girly-men liberals and other moral weaklings who lets their sloppy feelings get the best of them. But challenge Brit's patriarchal authority and or contradict him once too often and he goes Aguirre, Wrath of God on you.

They don’t like being challenged by blogs.

Apparently, being called to task on your crimes is unsettling.

Every email you send, every IM, every file you send, the US government sees. Every. Single. One.

...they reported these hoaxes and smear jobs with all the incredulity of a three year old sitting on a mall Santa's lap.

The major media has never copped to their role in the tabloid sideshow that politics in the 90's became. They have never copped to their part in elevating Bush to the status of demigod and running beside him like a bunch of eunuchs waving palm fronds during the lead-up to the war. Even today we see them pooh-poohing the significance of a federal trial that exposes them for whores to Republican power.

"I honestly believe, that in certain parts of America now, people have started to mate with vegetables."

Go 'Bama, Go 'Bama, Go 'Bama Go!!

Fuck you, Dick.

But now, as Mrs. Clinton is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mr. Scaife’s checkbook is staying in his pocket.

Christopher Ruddy, who once worked full-time for Mr. Scaife investigating the Clintons and now runs a conservative online publication he co-owns with Mr. Scaife, said, “Both of us have had a rethinking.”

“Clinton wasn’t such a bad president,” Mr. Ruddy said. “In fact, he was a pretty good president in a lot of ways, and Dick feels that way today.”

Mr. Ortega doesn't think matching answers to audiences is a good thing.

Me, I like a candidate who's flexible.
