Republicans seized on Feingold's presidential ambitions as the motivation behind his bid. Feingold "should be ashamed of this political ploy," said Frist, who also has presidential ambitions.
...before covering his lips with tape and scribbling “Schiavo†on top.
Democratic views were mixed . Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) dismissed the proposed censure as "getting way down the road on this issue."
Because Dodd, who's recently spared no effort pimping for homeboy Lieberman, knows all about priorities.
Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said he hoped the Feingold measure would spur the intelligence committee to complete an investigation of the wiretapping program, to determine whether Bush broke the law.
Pssst. Grampa. Wake up. They voted. Not happening.
The left wing of the party has greeted Feingold's censure call ecstatically. He was the front-runner in a Jan. 31 survey of 2008 presidential candidates by the liberal blog Daily Kos.
I wish just once these people would actually go to Kos and make a few comments before making a sweeping proclamation like that. Ever have your diary ransacked by a gang of angry Libertarians over there? Kind of hard to make that kind of generalization about 1.5 million people a day, and yet they do. Every time. And from The Hill:
“Censuring the president is not something that should be taken lightly. But the president has BROKEN the law and there needs to be action and accountability,†Feingold wrote Monday on the liberal Web log www.dailykos.com — an entry that had drawn more than 500 responses by midday yesterday. Feingold has his own diary on Daily Kos, exemplifying his status as a darling of his party’s increasingly influential online community.
Wait a minute. Bill O'Reilly called me an online terrorist funded by liberal billionaires and I'm sticking with it. Don't go all touchy-feely on me. WaPo:
Feingold said he is "extremely pleased with the way this is going." He said he is particularly buoyed the barrage of criticism from Republicans. "If such a crazy idea has such limited appeal, why do they have the attack dogs calling all over the country about this?" Feingold asked. "It touches a nerve."
I know how you feel, Russ. Getting trashed by Malkin was one of the happiest days of my life.

Jane!
Finally figured out that you didn’t mean “our” Grampa.
Jane…I’d almost forgotten that O’Lielly comment.
By the way…have you seen that big check yet?
Could you use “Gramps” instead?
Much commentary on the WaPo article occured in the previous thread. Your list of quotes combined with the title sums things up nicely. With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
… O’Reilly called me an online terrorist funded by liberal billionaires…
Hell, you’d think those liberal billionaires could fix you up with a better web hosting company…
oooo
…”increasingly influential online community”…
VG—Jane’s Grampa reference had me going for a minute too. Any body heard from him recently?
Can someone explain why, on some earlier threads, there was so much underlining (indicating a link)? It meant that all the comments, including the reply box, were linked to whatever website had been posted. Is someone just not closing the link and thus everything posted thereafter is part of the link?
From the Dodd/Lieberman link in Jane’s post:
In the latest Quinnipiac University poll, for example, Lieberman enjoys a 71 percent approval rating among Republicans, and 57 percent approval within his own party.
ROFL!!!
Getting trashed by Malkin was one of the happiest days of my life.
With enemies like her, who needs friends?

Unfortunately, this new comment site doesn’t complete HTML tags that people leave unterminated in their posts. Haloscan, the old comment site, did this. People will have to be careful, I suppose. A link is one type of HTML tag.
Dana, it might be two things. [1] Some people familiarizing themselves with the HTML in a previewless world, just underlined or struck everything by mistake. [2] The old site it seemed to me usually shortened a link when I pasted it in. This one doesn’t seem to be shortening the links. They stay the same length they were in the address bar. I’ll gladly defer, however, on this one.
Swopa, btw, really loved, as per usual, your second last post on Iraq and the two dictatorships we have created.
Dana — which post?
Man, Feingold is impressive as hell. He’s got my vote for whatever he runs for.
Such a great thing to hear him go right at the scummy pimps of the ReThug Party. Like see him debate “Cat Killer” Frist….
“extremely pleased….” yeah, kick ‘em in the goolies Russ!

I left an open a href and it swallowed the whole post. Jane, ask your guru to investigate the termination of those things. There is a another risk associated with the filter of input and he/she is probably aware of that issue.
Oh, Jane. I’ve never posted on here, and am relatively new to FDL. But can I tell you how much I love your balls-to-the-wall style? Man, there’s times I wish I were straight. Clutch the pearls, I’m on board for the bumpiest ride on the net.
Thanks, John and Cujo359. What you say makes sense. What doesn’t is why other people were able to post despite the problem.
Oh, and Fitz, Feingold, Firedoglake, and FDR.
ccmask– and I thought you were talking about alank…
The corporate media is “not getting it” wrt to Feingold, censure, and how it relates to the corporate media. Porter Goss and the neocons are going to try to convict Risen, Priest and their sources of TREASON for the NSA leaks. Arlen Specter just announced proudly in the well of the Senate yesterday, that he doesn’t know anything about the NSA spying. Once the trial gets going, we may not read anything about it, because everythings “classified.”
Call for T-Rex…T-Rex, please pick up the white courtesy phone.
Are you deleting my comments now? Is that it?
I emailed for T-rex, but if they are at the airport, I hope they pick here the page.
Jane, the problem happened in two earlier threads today. I can go back and check where they were, if you like.
The NYT editorial says the Democrats hit the right note:
“The founding fathers understood that there would be times in American history when the country lost confidence in the judgment of the president. Congress and the courts are supposed to fill the gap. But the system of checks and balances is a safety net that doesn’t feel particularly sturdy at present. The administration seems determined to cut off legitimate court scrutiny, and the Republicans who dominate the House and Senate generally intervene only to change the rules so Mr. Bush can do whatever he wants. (If the current Congress had been called on to intervene in the case of Mr. Allen, it would probably have tried to legalize shoplifting.)
The Democratic Party is not exactly the last word in prescience, but even the Democrats have put their finger on the mood of the moment, focusing on the theme of administrative incompetence. They’re striking the right note, but it’s not a tune we can afford to listen to for the next three years.”
Those were the last two paragraphs of the main editorial, “A Stumble a Day.” There’s an understatement.
wow…that was fast.
My spelling is atrocious.
Okay. If you’re going to complain about problems, please tell me where they are or it makes it very difficult to do anything about them.
Service has improved ;)
Pop over to Americablog and check out John’s latest rant. Its a BARNBURNER!!! I fear both of you are not going to get much sleep tonight
“We are here today because President William Jefferson Clinton decided to put himself above the law, not once, not twice, but repeatedly,” Sensenbrenner, R-WI said.
That was in 1999 I believe. So, why do Democrats have a big anxiety attack over Russ? Would somebody get them all some Effexor?
Yay, the underlines from the last post, comment 91 on, are gone!
I want to re-propose my idea that, while not EPU’d ™, certainly got VG-underscored:
I’m pinning a condom to my lapel for work tomorrow, to celebrate the Ides of March.
And to remind everyone that Karl Rove is having lunch with Mary Carey at the White House. And that the Chimperor gets sloppy seconds.

In 1967, Democratic Sen. Thomas J. Dodd of Connecticut (Chris Dodd’s Daddy)was censured by the Senate, 92-5, for using campaign money to pay personal bills.
Finegold has already had a major accomplishment…he has put the issue of spying on citizens back on the front page. And he’s helped us understand how many spineless Democrats reside inside-the-beltway.

Russ Feingold has been the most impressive person in DC for at least the past nine months, with John Murtha running a close second.
The lack of support from the rest of the party has been absolutely shameful. The party leaders think they look stronger by ducking a confrontation. What planet are they on?

Jane, I hope you already have a few sets of poodle PJs (apart from anything you might receive in the future), so that you can kick back for a while. We’re hanging in there with you. I really screwed up a few comments on a previous thread by not closing a strike tag, but the end result was amusing. I think you should let that one it stay as is, otherwise the following comments wouldn’t make sense at all. The episode started at: http://firedoglake.com/2006/03.....ment-52656
I thought that I had turned off the strikeout. But, for those even less experienced than I am, the reply instructions don’t actually tell you how to turn off a tag. Check out the light grey above the comment box– I am wary of cutting and pasting this text, just in case putting it in a comment really screws things up!!!!

“Laura Bush Would Vote for Woman President”
by John in DC - 3/14/2006 09:46:00 PM
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s installment: “Laura Bush would swim with black folk.”
How do you shut it off, so it doesn’t run into the next post down?
I think I fixed the unclosed tag and dreaded emoticon problems.
The Feingold censure is the most politically important event in the Senate since the vote to invade Iraq. I’m not sure that historians will be able to associate it with Democrats, however. The Independents are gaining seperation, and this provides the beginnings of a third branding option which the word “Independent” itself fails to adequately brand. It’s far more significant than that.
The censure movement represents Constitutional Reformationism. Naming the movement distances it from both halves of the rotten establishment which voted for debacle, and makes enough room for refugees from those orthodox parties that together make up the Persistently Cowed Senate to flee to for reelection, largely free of their party machines. A big new patch of political ground has opened up, and there is electoral sunlight shining on it for whoever has the courage to stand there in its center, and the partisan edges are going to get darker before we’re through.
I’ve read a lot of history…historians are just reporters who spend hang out in libraries, and they too look for time-honored hooks and angles. The Feingold Censure is a golden hook that can write a book, almost by itself. It’s either the doomed, last-ditch effort of a Harrison-Ford-Hero to brace open democracy’s closing trap door, or it’s the start of a massive sweep of Pragmatic Populism. Or both. Thanks for glomming onto the issue and getting me to call my idiotic Senator.
Here’s my late nite contribution, my email to DiFi. One went to Barbara Boxer as well, but without the special creamy filling I pasted from fdl’s DiFi post today about Big Dog’s censure. Also, I made up a new name for Pat Roberts’ and Jay Rock’s new clubhouse:
Dear Senator Feinstein:
I emailed your office at this contact page on Sunday. I called your San Francisco office on Monday morning. I was told, by the young man who answered the telephone at One Post Street, that it would be reasonable to assume that, as a member of the Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, and as a Democratic member of the new Special Investigative Intelligence Committee on Illegal Warrantless Domestic Spying on American Citizens, it was reasonable to assume that you would be in favor of Senator Russell Feingold’s Resolution for Censure of President Bush. I asked to be tallied as a supporter of Senator Feingold’s censure resolution. I asked to be emailed or called when you had decided whether you supported Senator Feingold’s Resolution for Censure of President Bush.
I have heard no public statements by you. I have not heard whether you support the censure resolution.
I was reminded recently, though, that you have supported a previous censure resolution which stated in part:
“Whereas [the] president of the United States, deliberately misled and deceived the American people, and people in all branches of the United States government;
Whereas [the president’s] conduct in this matter is unacceptable for a president of the United States, does demean the office of the president as well as the president himself, and creates disrespect for laws of the land.”
Don’t you believe, Senator Feinstein, that the actions of the current President, George W. Bush, fit this category and are therefore eligible for censure?
Please support Senator Feingold. I hope that you do support him, and that you will say so soon. It will be a grave disappointment to me to know that you do not support the censure of this President when you supported the censure of President William Jefferson Clinton, a President of your own party whose actions, while obtuse, were certainly neither dismissive of Congress nor high crimes and misdemeanors.
Thank you for your service to Californians and to the United States of America. I am proud that you are my Senator.
Sincerely,
<blockquote>The Stuff you want in an indented citation box …</blockquote>
Works similarly for all supported tags — you need that forward slash when ending a tag.

Mike B - Are you saying to shut off , I need to follow it with ?
Whatever you do, don’t hit the link 54.
Jane, you should kill that entry. It goes into some void in the EPU or something.
We need to come up with a nickname for Feingold that sounds nothing like Big Russ. Big Russ reminds me of Little Russ which reminds me of rancid mashed potatoes.
I like, The People’s Champion, Russ Feingold.
I am going to try this again.
Mike B - To shut off a href=”" title=”" I need to follow it with / a href=”" title=”"?
Feingold = Hero

Thanks
I think I fixed the unclosed tag and dreaded emoticon problems.
Jane, whatever you did, it turned off the emoticons-the ones on this thread and on the previous, and that is WAY FINE BY ME. I hate those silly things. Don’t know about the closing tags things, and I’m not going to experiment on that one.
warning: this turned into a semi-rant. You are warned.
I cannot believe what has happened to my party. I mean, was there something in the water? How did a whole generation of elected mainstream Democrats get a ravenous taste for eating shit? It’s like these people love to take it but can’t dish it out. Why can’t I go up against people like that in every day life? I guess ’cause they’re all hiding under their desks most of the day.
Suppose I were a Dem office holder. Suppose, just for a second, for illustrative purposes only, that I thought Feingold’s censure move was a loser tactically -but I agreed that is was justified based on the facts as we know them (and I would agree, since we are assuming, for illustration sake only, that I do have a functioning brain -just go with me on this here, a little bit, OK?)
I still wouldn’t attack the guy in public. And after the Bushites went out and lied and smeared their asses off on Feingold (sorry for the image, there), I would go after them, not Feingold.
The miserable reckless serial liar Cheney said Feingold’s censure showed he was against the President monitoring foreign terrorists, and that it was tantamount to declaring Bush the enemy. Well, why did the Dems criticize Feingold rather than go after Cheney for lying and smearing and distorting and defaming again? The dumber Presidential Scotty lied and smeared as well… why not contront him about that?
I don’t understand these mainstream Democrats. Why don’t they just sit in front of the cameras and drool on themselves and make stupid faces. It would show a similar level of self-respect and dignity.
There is a Feingold dedication third post in and at the beginning there’s A Request From Liberty
There they are again. Starting at 48, EPU! Everything from #48 is linked. I can only post this because I used the reply feature instead of just scrolling down to the comment box.
If the base comes out of this adoring Feingold but despising all the other Dems who sold him out, who gains? It’s truly tragic. Virtually all of these guys wouldn’t know true leadership if it smacked them in the face.

“Let everyone sweep in front of his own door, and the whole world will be clean.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Westgpc - In furtherance of the campaign to never (ever, ever, ever) refer to the corporate media as the “mainstream media” or “MSM,” there is now a new campaign not to refer to Dem’s who lack a spine as well as a moral comopass as “mainstream.”
It belittles us, marginalizes us; we are mainstream. Call them false dems, or something else, but don’t give them the middle ground.
The words do matter. Don’t let “them” define you or us or what we stand for.
This goes for all of you. Otherwise, you’re all off to remedial blogging camp this summer.
All joking aside, I don’t consider myself, or my views, or 75% of the views expressed on FDL, to be anything other than mainstream.
Anyone on this blog (and others like it) who refer to “them” as the mainstream are just perpetuating Repug, Neonut Orwellian spin.
Dana — not getting that effect with IE 6.0 in Win2K. Are you using Firefox perchance?

Everything links to “This is a test” at 48. I’m only able to type here because I cliked on “Leave a Response.”

-
a href=”http://www.yahoo.com/â€>This is another test
Apologies in advance if this screws things up.
Dana - I haven’t gotten that either - I got it on my FDL page after “Leave a reply.”
I will stop testing for the evening. I am still trying to figure out, as 71 shows, the suggestions on getting it to shut off.
p.s. MikeB I am using Firefox, and I don’t have the problem that Dana reports. (oh, I am using the next-but-last (maybe?) version of FF- (1.0.5) I never downloaded the newer version because initially there were problems with it, and then later, I forgot to update.
EPU: thank you. I understand your reasoning. Same reason I never call Bushites conservatives, only reactionaries.
But I got to memorize this myself: corporate media, corporate media, corporate media… corporate media… OK, I think I got it.
Now, need a name for those dorks. “Shit Eating Democrats”? The SEDs, howzzat sound?
What should we call “them”? droolers? Any suggestions would be welcome.
As for a nickname for Feingold, I propose “Forward Feingold” (Forward is the state motto). Or, how about “The Badger.” Fierce, straightforward, doesn’t back down, ain’t coy about it.
Valley Girl, This thread. See EPU’s “This is a test” post that he then follows with “How do you shut this off”? On my machine it’s comment #48. I think I’m going crazy. I’m using a MAC powerbook and I’m on Safari. Never happened before. All of your comments are linked to “This is a test.”–EPU. I’m CPU’d by EPU. I’m sorry. I’m interfering in this conversation.
Actually, 48 links back to this page, so it could be a created a perpetual loop of time and space distortion (otherwise known as feedback). It’s possible.
I realize Pussy Gnome Democrats has, perhaps, some sexist overtones, but that is the one I would go with. Ties in with not having a Phase II. :)

Whatever you just did now, Jane, to get rid of that batch of underlined comments, worked! The underscores are gone from the subsequent comments. While they were all there, every time I tried to “Leave a Reply,” after I typed about 7 characters in the reply box (here) the entire post refreshed, with the Reply box blanked out.
Can we (commenters) all just agree to ignore the little instruction that sez: “You can use these…” and pretend instead that it sez: “You can’t use these…” at least until things settle down?
Oh, and Feingold rocks.
Nice work fighting the fires and minding the lake today, Jane and ReddHedd. Wouldn’t want your job!
==
The Ides of March assumed a whole new identity after the events of 44 B.C. The phrase came to represent a specific day of abrupt change that set off a ripple of repercussions throughout Roman society and beyond.
Josiah Osgood, an assistant professor of classics at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., said: “You can read in Cicero’s letters from the months after the Ides of March. … He even says, ‘The Ides changed everything.’”
By the time of Caesar, Rome had a long-established republican government headed by two consuls with joint powers. Praetors were one step below consuls in the power chain and handled judicial matters. A body of citizens forming the Senate proposed legislation, which general people’s assemblies then approved by vote. A special temporary office, that of dictator, was established for use only during times of extreme civil unrest.
The Romans had no love for kings. According to legend, they expelled their last one in 509 B.C. While Caesar had made pointed and public displays of turning down offers of kingship, he showed no reluctance to accept the office of “dictator for life” in February 44 B.C. According to Osgood, this action may have sealed his fate in the minds of his enemies. “We can see [now] that that was enough to get him killed,” Osgood said
Mike B - Can you post a “see spot run” instructional on closing href’s? I tried with your earlier one, but figure, why take chances playing around.
Jane: PLEASE KILL MY #48
It is not playing nicely with the other posts.
Now, of course, the underscores are back, after my recent report.
Oh well, technology will always win. And this time, no one died!

That’s it. I’m in a perpetual loop. And all the spaces are contorted in the Leave a Reply section. Really sad now. I’m going to bed.
Dana, I am really used to the usual old thing at FDL (Haloscan), where you scroll down to the comment box to type a comment. Maybe you are used to some other format, where there are comments within comments? Just an idea. Anyway, based on my prior (FDL experience) I would not have clicked on the link in #48 to leave a comment. I’m sure all of this will be worked out in time by our savvy ones.
Ah, better now.
Oh Oh

Okay on my browser there are neither underscores nor links. I’m using firefox on Windows XP. What is everyone using that this is happening to?
EPU - I think “Vichy Dems” works quite well. Short and to the point.
It is not happening to me this evening really, but it did happen earlier on IE.
I dunno, I think you all are being too hard on DiFi for not supporting censure, just because she did for Clinton. I mean, back then censure was a move to defuse impeachment, which the opposition party was pushing for hard. We don’t have that now, so we shouldn’t be criticizing her for not supporting censure.
Instead, we should be criticizing her for not supporting impeachment! </snark>

Copy the link from #59 above to the clipboard, the entire line. Then paste into the comment box and and change the address (URL) and the public text as desired. That’s exactly what I’ve done below and if it works in this comment, it should work for you too:

And it’s wierd how it comes and goes without offending comments in between. Is there some kind of mirroring of comments, where there are multiple versions, in some of which Jane has removed the string of offending comments and in others the offending comments appear?
I mean offending to the format (like producing the underscores, or in the previous thread, strikeouts) not offensive.
Well that was a disaster.

Lovely new site Jane and Christy - good luck with the kinks that always come with such changes!
It might be good to create a thread specifically for folks to test out their html skills so they don’t have to worry about messing up the current discussion - or pick an earlier post to send everyone to for testing - then maybe a few of our html gurus could volunteer to give pointers there as well.
FWIW, I am NOT having problems. I am using FireFox 1.0.5 browser on a PC- Windows XP but it is an old version of XP 5.1.
Is this the tech thread?
All roads lead to Rome as the saying goes.
I remember during Clinton’s presidency, the press scewered him over an open pit. When Bush came to office, well, he has had a honey moon of sorts for 5 years and counting. I was deeply disappointed that there was no “payback in the cards.” The low ratings now befalling our Commander in Chief are not because of the press but inspite of them. There is no longer a monopoly on the news thank god! The internet, the newspapers, magazines, and word of mouth distribution have allowed some wiggle room. Over time, the true underlying bastardization of the Administration has accumulated in people’s minds. When the press “seemed” more liberal, the democrats relied on the press for its cues for action. Today the democrats have come to expect the “finger” from the press. Hell, the press has its own problems. Now they are essentially being held hostage by threats of jail time for printing any secrets. What is left? Everything the Bush administration has done has become secret. We do see the monopoly in today’s news programs with republican talking heads. They are essentially marionettes
for the powers that be. That is essentially what has happened to the Russ Feingold’s censure resolution. It was literally dismissed in one day’s time. Boy, when the monopoly and the abuse of power becomes the name of the game, it falls on those excellent lawyers that continue to go after them. And I am sure glad the blogs are starting to fill the abyss the mainstream press has created by default.

MikeB #99 the link works fine for me. And, cut and paste of text does too. And, we’ll see, maybe the html too:
http://www.dailykos.com/
Paul Hackett and the Daily Show just completely skewered the spineless Democratic leadership. Beautifully done.
I looked at the page source for comment #48, and it’s definitely bad HTML. There’s no closing </a> tag at the end of the link, and the next one is the closer of the “permanent link to this comment” for #49, after the <div> tag boundaries. I’m guessing that Firefox and IE recognize that it’s bad and decide to close off the link tag at the </div>, but Safari gets screwed up by the seriously incorrect HTML.
Safest thing for now would be to wipe out the contents of #48, and fix auto-closing of tags when Jamie gets a chance. (It was Jamie, right? Apologies if I’m remembering the name wrong.)

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A federal judge on Tuesday said he plans to order Google (GOOG) to hand over some of its customer data to the Department of Justice after the government scaled back its request.
