Faux Spews is complaining that Obama isn't 'transparent'

Remember when Faux Spews complained about Chimpy's lack of transparency? No?

US Government Actually Admitted There Was a Secret Jail in Thailand

The Bangkok Post:

His response came after the US government has admitted the existance of the secret jail in Thailand where it subjected prisoners to interrogation techniques, which are claimed by the Washington Post and ABC News as illegal under the Geneva Conventions.


The Bangkok Post in an editorial:

The truth is out. In spite of the Thai military's strong denials, the US government has revealed in court that there is indeed a secret jail in Thailand for its CIA to "extract" information and confession from suspected terrorists.


The Nation:

The United States admitted yesterday it had operated a secret jail in Thailand, where suspected al-Qaeda operatives were held for controversial interrogation sessions - but Thai security chiefs continue to deny it.

the Republican Party is rooting for doom

Today the Republican Party is rooting for doom. And since the Republicans are now anti-American members of an Obama-must-fail insurgency, lies become a self-fulfilling prophecy: talk doom, and keep the economy in a panic and we may get what we wish for.

Michael Steele: "Why, yes! I'm an incompetent fuck up, just like aWol was!!

"I'm very spontaneous. Be prepared; you have no idea. Just buckle up and get ready to go."

-- RNC Chairman Michael Steele, quoted by the New York Times, "comparing working with him to riding a roller coaster without knowing when the next dip or curve might come."

“I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings; and I did it out of spite.”

it’s more akin to a child’s decision to take his ball and go home.

To put it simply, I fear that we are now ruled by incompetent egomaniacs who will never blow the whistle on each other, no matter how bad things get, because to do so would be to admit that none of them is indispensable or brilliant after all.

"Why, it's almost like they would follow Bush to Hell and back. Oh wait, they did."

Drew M. at Ace of Spades actually thinks Chimpy went to "Hell and Back". The cognitive dissonance of the statement must not be overlooked. In the most literal sense, Chimpy actually only put up with a 20 hour trip to Mesopotamia in Air Force 1. The snap decision to invade Iraq was not leadership, it was a strategic failure. Further, the un-inquisitive moron that was preznit lost a battle to a sofa and a pretzel. Lastly, least we not forget, when given the opportunity to put himself in harms way to defend his nation, the simian who would destroy a nation went AWOL. Clearly, Drew M. at Ace of Spades is no Obama fan. But you know what? Boo-hoo.

14%.

So Keith tells me that only 14% of the US of A are Bush/Lush Rimbaugh/Hannasty fans. So why the fuck are they on our TV?

Media bias actually works in favor of Republicans.

Republican insiders are getting concerned that Michael Steele may be too big a moron to remain RNC Chairman.

So says US News.

This IS good.

President Obama’s budget director said the White House would consider using a Senate procedural tactic so that only 50 votes would be rquired to pass major healthcare and energy reforms.

Digby says: It appears that the administration learned its lesson on the stimulus and won't be going into the negotiations under the assumption that the other side wants comity and so will act as partners. They are prepared to drive a real bargain this time. I'm much relieved.

We say: Single payer healthcare will make America strong again. Wingnuts will bitch, loudly and will learn to love it.
