Hammerboy stuck his boot in a lot of faces on his climb up the human totem pole. There’s a long list of people, I’m sure, who can’t wait to kick him in the nads on his way down.

WASHINGTON – Five days after NASA administrator Michael Griffin urged a Houston audience to keep U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay in office, a spokesman denied Wednesday that Griffin had made a formal campaign endorsement.

Under the Hatch Act, executive branch employees such as Griffin are permitted to express an opinion, campaign and make speeches for or against candidates in partisan elections — when they are off-duty.

Not only do I think we should brand the neo-cons and “movement Republicans” as fascist, I believe that we should lable the entire Republican Party as corrupt…that’s what labeling is all about, make the image so extreme that your label (”liberal”) becomes the definition of moderation. This is what the fascists have done to Democrats with no supporting history…”tax and spend liberals” and”corruption crony Democrats” and “pinko liberals” and “commie fellow travelers” and “soft on crime liberals” and “weak on defense Democrats”. These labels have been repeated over and over again until, once in power, the Democratic brand was so extreme as to make John McCain a “moderate” or “maveric”.

We have only to use two words, “fascist” to label ‘em and “corrput” to brand ‘em. Politics can be “history teaching by example” if we use words like fascist which have a real historical identity and corrupt which has currency and no deniability.

Don’t worry about the mudbath, it was comin’ this fall in any case…if there are corrupt Dems, jest let ‘em fall in the pit with Delay and the rest of the corrupt fascists. Remeber, it would be possible for a prosecutor like Fitz to make a RICO case namin the Republican party and the Bush family…let’s help it along.

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T LOSE YER NERVE NOW!!!
