FFFFIIITTTZZZZ!AAAHHHHhhhhh!
Whew,that was good for me,was it good for you?

Hilary Clinton drives me nuts. How can she be so completely obtuse to women. We want to like her, we really do.

Here’s a moist towel, DMM. Newbies. Always get so overexcited.

Heh.

Jane — yeah. All that and a bag of chips. If Clinton cannot keep one puny little waxen figure of a Senator in line, how the hell are we supposed to trust her to keep the Middle East in line? Or North Korea? Or our trade relations with China?

Nedreneline!

Where the heck are you, Fitz???

“Whew,that was good for me,was it good for you?”
_____

Two Skinnerian behavioral psychologists have sex. Afterward one asks, “whew, that was good for YOU, was it good for ME too?”

;)

Sure seems funny, wherever Joe and Hillary go ,the floors seem to slope to the right.

whoo boy– Hi Jane!

I am getting the wordpress thing again and the loading is super sllllooowww. Is this a problem for anyone else or is my machine here mucking up?

Pillory Hillary – she f****ing deserves it.

Pillory Hillary – she f****ing deserves it.

Pillory Hillary. She deserves it whatever she gets.

I tried twice to post a comment. I got a WordPress page, then a message that said I had already posted that comment. The comment did not appear.

The Democrats are a national Charlie Brown, with the Republicans & DINOs endlessly playing Lucy.

“I promise, this time I will not yank away the football.”

It would be funny if it weren’t our country.

neurophius 4 & 12

I guess it’s just slow posting comments.

whew– thought it was me! I was getting spooked. It’s been hinky all day– I have double posted a couple of times, lost connection, the pictures load or don’t etc. And then it works just fine for a smidge…

Now Joe sez the question of running as an Independent against Ned is irrelevant, since he expects to be the Democratic nominee after the August primary. The relevant question is, “Senator Lieberman, do you then pledge to support the party’s Senate nominee and the entire Connecticut Democratic ticket?”

No Democrat can fudge the answer to that question.

Reid, for all his vaunted frontier toughness and took-on-the-Mob-history, shows a disturbing tendency to get punk’d. Remember when he closed the Senate, and got Part II of the pre-war intelligence inquiry “jump-started?” Now Roberts has bifurcated that inquiry into Part IIa and Part IIb.

I’ll obey our own Eleventh Commandment and remain silent on Mrs. Senator Clinton….

I’m seeing a pattern here. Hillary got punk’d by the Bush government over emergency contraception. Now Lieberman. Is she so totally obtuse about womens’ issues that she becomes a complete twit? You’d think Chelsea could get her to start thinking these things through.

Note to the democrats in Washington: there is no honor when dealing with the Bush government or their lackeys. Their word is no good, and they will lie, cheat and steal to get their way. Stop considering them your equals and treat them the opportunistic predators that they are.

The antics of Joe have many of us life long
Democrats really thinking about more than an independent, but a third party!

tomorrow is likely Fitzdictment Day — the servers gotta be fixed. It’s a matter of national security !

Considering the server issues, I’m just as glad Fitz is holding out on us…

From Attytood (who lines up his h/t-s too)

http://www.pnionline.com/dnblo…..03394.html

The news comes (by way of Raw Story) from journalists Rory O’Connor and William Scott Malone, and it was published today on the Alternet web site:

Now, in an exclusive interview, [Judy] Miller reveals how the attack on the Cole spurred her reporting on Al Qaida and led her, in July 2001, to a still-anonymous top-level White House source, who shared top-secret NSA signals intelligence (SIGINT) concerning an even bigger impending Al Qaida attack, perhaps to be visited on the continental United States.

Anyone going to ask Hayden who had that kind of high level top secret NSA info and what he knows about it all?

What about Libby? If it is Libby, Fitzgerald doesn’t have a mandate to do anything about that round of sharing of classified intel – but shouldn’t the intel committee be expressing an interest?

Is this Judy’s “backatcha” to Libby? Or just an effort to be the “interesting girl” again and who knows the source?

http://www.counterpunch.org/cassidy05132006.html

This article has the origin of “there’s a sucker born every minute…”

Like the DLC’d Dem leadership in thrall to Joe Lieberman.

Sorry for the multiple posts earlier. I was posting from work and the submitting seemed very slow. I finally got a “this page cannot be displayed message. So I tried again.

I am at home now and still having problems- couldn’t get to the comments.

Does anyone know why?

Angie #8,

Lmao, Tried to post a reply to this once and got the wordpress screen of death. Trying again.
I have been having the same trouble all day. I just *g* and bear it.Teknikal diffikooltees I guess.It just ,makes the ..aannnn..ticipation all that much better. Crossing my fingers and hitting submit.

*waving at FDL’ers*

Same here angie, loading super slow. I’m 3 days behind on comments but thought I saw a blurb about a server change again?

When can we vote them ALL out except Feingold and start over? Right now America is being punk’d and gang banged.

OT -

But I never knew Ramesh Ponnuru sounded like a 13-year old boy.

I now get a worse visceral reaction than ever when it comes to Joe– he has got to go; it’s a matter of protecting the people from acute and severe onset of nausea and persistent heaving.

OT and kinda fun:

A touch of grey for Leahy fundraiser

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), that old-school deadhead, has done it again. He’s rounded up members of the Grateful Dead — rhythm guitarist Bob Weir and drummer Mickey Hart — for a fundraiser at the Renaissance Marriott next Tuesday.

Weir and Hart have been friends with Leahy for more than 20 years. Leahy has even hosted them in the Senate Dining Room. The two performed at a fundraiser at the Ritz-Carlton downtown in September 2004, when Leahy was up for reelection.

http://thehill.com/thehill/exp…..51806.html

The CT branch of NARAL bucked the national folks, and came out for Ned, NOW followed suit shortly thereafter. I’m on the wrong coast, but any of you NYorkers, where are your local NARAL or NOW folks on all this?

What about a few phone calls to those headquarters, to see if they can follow their CT counterparts and speak up against those (speaking hypothetically, of course) who would blindly follow Holy Joe on his anti-choice, anti-contraception, anti-women road.

If Hilary wants to go anywhere – whether it is back to the White House or (just) higher in stature in the Senate – she’s got to call “Bullshit” on this kind of nonsense.

The Hil seems to get worse every day. Perhaps she’s confident she has the Democratic nomination locked up and that Demos have no choice but to vote for the Senator and her DLC cronies. Wrong Hillary. There are countries that force their citizens to vote, or to cast their vote for a certain candidate. Or both. And if the Democratic party (and I’m a long time member) thinks they are going to force me to endorse Clinton’s ideas and politics, they are just plain dead stupid. I know there some who say if I don’t vote in 2008 that I should leave the country. Well, that sounds a lot like those “America, Love it or Leave it” bumper stickers we used to see during the Nixon years, at the height of another illegal war (Vietnam). Last time I checked, so far anyway, every U.S. citizen has the right not to vote. And I reject the vituperative statements of some that say if I don’t vote I’ve got no say. Bull shit.

I’d love to vote for Senator Clinton for president. But she’s got a lot of critical changes (Iraq being foremost) in her political attitude to make first. If she doesn’t “get with the program” well before ‘08, then sorry Hil, my vote AND my money stays in my pocket. From here, it looks like the Senator is about as stubborn as nit-wit Bush in her refusal to admit she has made mistakes, and moving on. I once had a friend tell me that the only thing worse than being stubborn was NOT being stubborn. Well, that’s fine, until stubborn becomes stupid.

The election two years hence is not about blind party loyalty, (though I’ve never voted for a Republican) it is about principles, right and wrong, justice, and fairness. And if out of a sense of principle, I decide not to choose between like candidates or the lesser of two evils, and don’t vote, then by damn that’s my right!

CNN.com:
President Bush’s pick to head the CIA said Thursday that if the government’s phone-tapping program were in place before 9/11, at least two hijackers would likely have been identified. “Had this been in place prior to the attacks, two hijackers… almost certainly would have been identified as who they were, what they were and, most importantly, where they were,” Gen. Michael Hayden told his Senate Intelligence Committee confirmation hearing.

Aw, geeze, that one again… Haven’t they noticed that that excuse was already shot down?

That pretty much covers what we need to know! (And we’d probably get an answer like ‘I can’t answer that in open session’.)

I want John Marshall the justice to haunt these guys for the rest of their hopefully-miserable lives. I want T Roosevelt to show up at night with a big stick, when they bluster and threaten us, and beat on them, while A Lincoln holds them. I want Washington and Jefferson to stand and glare at them (I understand Washington had a ferocious temper: the edge of his tongue might be very effective).

(The server is still flakey, btw. Multiply EPU’d.)

maybe Ramesh has an orchidal handicap that prevents him from serving in the military? otherwise I’d suggest that he explore http://goarmy.com thoroughly . . .

Hilary Clinton drives me nuts. How can she be so completely obtuse to women.

I really do not like Hil. I see her as sticking her nose up all the time and a flagrant opportunist who is willing to turn her back on what she’s suppose to be standing up for in order for political gain. In a nutshell, that’s my beef with her.

The only time I’d vote for her is in a general election against a Republican.

Hillary was a good first lady, I thought. She should stay that way. I am with Matt O.

P.S. She voted for this war and should have and probably did know better… I cannot forgive that.

I think this may have been posted earlier, but the server is being hinky so if not – the Harpers article on how thoroughly GWB has screwed up the CIA Iraq intel info – firing, demoting, reassigning personnel to where no one wants to work it, giving promotions to those who say – Golly Gee isn’t Iraq all FREE and stuff – and generally ignoring anything else.

http://harpers.org/sb-cia-badnews-293480283.html

Angie, I was having the same problem…and now the photo doesn’t show up at all.

I think that everyone should send Hilary a link to Bob Adams report and map and ask her how far she wants Chelsea to hoof it for emergency contraception after a rape.

OT – telecoms & Conyers being on the Feingold level.

*G*
Conyers has had Congressional Research Service (CRS) research telecom liability for turning over records. Dang those bipartisan CRS reports never turn out the way GWB would like. ;-)

They would have written up a PDB titled.
Bin Laden determined to attack in the United States.

I’d vote for Hillary if she’d promise to delegate to the Big Dog the same power that Dick Cheney has …

Sorry for the funky day as we migrate to the C&L server empire. Appreciate everyone’s patience.

heh– exactamundo *ilson!

Jane #39:

Growing pains.

I hope this server move allows you (pl.) to deal less with techie stuff.

Sorry Jane, Life sucks for the little people.

Sorry Jane, Life sucks for the little people.

since tomorrow is likely El Fitzo de Mayo, I hope the technicians are fully appreciative of the national security import involved with getting this site up and running solidly. It will be hammered ruthlessly when the Fitzdictments come rolling down . . .

Now that is one empire that makes me happy! ;) Thanks Jane for the information– I must have missed the message earlier!

Hillary’s gotten with the program, alright. I like to call that program “buh-bye.”

She and Lieberman can start their own party, or throw their own party, for that matter. I will not be attending.

btw, I just got an Emailing from the senior Senator from Nevada hammering the Goopers for frittering away precious legislative time over trivial issues like “Gay Marriage” while ducking questions about gasoline prices, etc …

I think we are creating a new language based on Fitzgerald.

I just don’t get the “if we had this program” – in reference to the “if al-Qaeda is calling” program.

WHY would they NOT be pursuing warrants for al-Qaeda calls and using their freebie period to process warrants? SO, if the program is an “al-Qaeda calling” program, is the reason they would have been able to locate those two a)there is something magical about not having a warrant that makes people appear who disappear if you have warrants, or b) the existence of a program where they payed more attention to al-Qaeda (as per Richard Clark and other’s pleas) is why they would have been able to do more – not the magical qualities of a warrantless surveillance v. one that takes place pursuant to a warrant.

It seemed from Hayden’s testimony in Oct 2002 that he didn’t understand himself how FISA worked. He made it sound like if bin Laden was being tracked and he crossed into the states at the Niagra falls – suddenly they had to turn everything off. Uh – why not apply for a warrant? Why not surveil as allowed under FISA for a period of time while awaiting processing on that warrant?

I do think he needs to be called on the fact that it is paying more attention to al-Qaeda and not the magic of ‘not getting a warrant’ during your freebie period, that would have made the difference, if difference there was to be made. They knew about those guys and could have gotten a FISA warrant.

Since I’ll be out of town this weekend and away from all computer type equipment, Fitz had better not bring any indictments tomorrow.

Kidding! Just by saying that I’m sure it’s been jinxed and is now GUARANTEED to happen tomorrow. *sigh*

OT-Jane, I should be back by Sunday afternoon for bookclub. That’s the plan anyway. :)

AIPAC has got their claws into Mrs. Clinton.

http://www.counterpunch.org/frank01032006.html

She’ll support Holy Joe until the end.

If anyone’s still the least bit interested, the Le*p*ld interview from last Sunday is now available on-line. (The air date listed is wrong, but the podcasts are from the 14th.)

http://www.ianmasters.org/

Joe Lieberman is a TRAITOR:

1.) to the Democratic Party

2.) to America.

Is there anything else to say?

Moving to a new empire….

The force is strong here, yes.

Fitzomaniacal I am!

The servers must not fritz while we fitz!

Tsk, tsk. This is ridiculous. Congresscritters should know not to trust Lieberman. Remember how he acted on the eve of the Alito filibuster? He actually told people in CT, he would *lead* the filibuster. Ha! He’s definitely considering running as an independent. But this is CT we are talking about, and it’s not easy to run as an independant . . . unless you’ve got a war chest . . . oh wait!

We need another Hartford Courant editorial from Weicker on this I think.
I like Ned’s commercials. They are so much more spirited than Joe’s soulless diner ‘mercial

Angie; *ilson; I’m rooting for tomorrow and the whole enchilada as predicted by Shazam. It is in the stars ;)

Oklahoma Kiddo (#29) If that’s what you end up doing why don’t you just move to Canada and stop taking up space in America. It’s people who thought like you in 2000 and 20004 who are very much part of the reason we have George W. Bush and his gang to deal with.

TSOP, look at Hilary’s FEC filings. I don’t think it’s AIPAC.

wrt Judy judy judy being “informed” by a WH insider prior to 9/11 – and wrt Hayden’s bullsh*t that we could have identified at least 2 of the hijackers if we’d had phone taps in place – yeah, right.

Let us not forget that George Tenet was having breakfast at the St. Regis Hotel on September 11 with former senator David Boren when he was told the news about the terrorist attacks. Tenet immediately said, “This has bin Laden all over it.” Tenet is also reported to have said. “I wonder if it has anything to do with this guy taking pilot training?”

And, I believe it was Tenet who sent the August 8 (6?) PDB to Bush’s vacation home. What did you say that was Condi? Historial information? Right…

Tenet knew – and while he’s obviously not Judy’s “WH insider,” my point is that THEY ALL KNEW.

I think the acronym has always been LIHOP – let it happen on purpose – or worse, of course. How lucky for the neocons that it all happened just the way the PNAC ‘bible’ says – God must surely be on their side…

Dru #58 – do you have a link to that by any chance?

hah ! the Preznit just told Suzanne Malveaux on CNN that the Iraqis have a Unity Government in place. Oh really? who is the Minister of Oil ? According the Juan Cole, they are still futzing around. George Bush is a liar . . . (so what else is new? )

I should be getting my own Crashing the Gate copy– & Greenwald as well –tomorrow. I think I’ll feel better equipped when I read it.

Me too, Dru, me too!!! Nice to see you!

Cafferty rages on the wingnut marriage thing! Awesome.

Jack Cafferty is fulminating about Specter pushing through the Gay Marriage Amendment Bill in a closed-to-the-public meeting room (he gave props to Feingold for opposing). Jack then went on about wasting Senate time debating a bill that everybody knows can not pass . . .

It worked! Cafferty has turned on Specter – just did a complete tirade and pretty much called Specter a coward for the gay marriage amendment crap this morning – told the whole story about his dustup with Russ. Says it’s all for the lunatic fringe on the right, never mind doing something that would help the country – lit into Frist too – GO JACK!

I think everybody here at FDL writing to Jack with the truth about Spector has opened his eyes. Cafferty’s on fire!

Here’s his question for this hour:

7 p.m.: Is now the time for the Senate to consider a constitutional amendment on gay marriage?

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form5t.html

Joe Lieberman: the consumerist congresscritter. When your positions stink, buy influence! In fact, buy a stupid commercial convincing people you are cool with the working class in CT. Please!

mui (60) — can’t say that AIPAC doesn’t influence her campaign; we can only say that for 2006 she has not received $$ directly from AIPAC.

Look at each of the PAC’s that have donated to her committee(s); is there any chance that folks in these PAC’s are AIPAC members?

And of the folks on the boards of these PAC’s who make decisions on donations, are any of them AIPAC members?

The upside to this is that her books don’t look anywhere near as bad as Republicans; it’s not obvious to the casual eye, but it sure looks like they launder a lot of money through PAC’s. Somebody donates to a PAC, which donates to another PAC and so on, until it gets to a candidate’s committee; what we can’t see is the connection between amounts, dates and relationships. Need some serious intelligence/social network software to make sense of it.

Lieberman makes ill. If only Gore hadn’t picked that sack-faced putz, we wouldn’t have had 6 years of nightmares at the behest of th Chimpinator.

I am also getting sick of the “Democrats will investigate Bush” chorus…

These shameless sacks of partisan shit are destroying the country…Destroying it.

-GSD

Bell South fighting back. They have a slip from Big Daddy Bush that says that they can lie, lie, lie.

AIPAC definately have their claws into Hillary. It’s significant that NeoCon Rupert Murdoch has signed on to promote her. Count on Hillary to initiate military action against Iran if elected President.

May 18, 2006

NEW YORK (AP) _ Actress Susan Sarandon, a longtime liberal political activist and outspoken opponent of the Iraq war, endorsed an anti-war Democrat challenging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s re-election bid Tuesday.

Sarandon is backing Jonathan Tasini, a labor advocate and former president of the National Writers’ Union, who has based his longshot campaign on Clinton’s vote in 2002 authorizing military intervention in Iraq…

hilary spent to much time at the school of bill.

she’s a snake just like her husband. she’s trying to have it all ways and please everyone. in the process she’s pleasing no one.

that was then, this is now hilary. get with the program.

she’s an empty shill.

go al!

Methinks Hillary is content to NOT run in ‘08. She may be biding her time. If not ‘08, perhaps ‘12. With a very safe senate seat and the likelihood of increasing power and influence there, why rush it? If she gets “drafted” or takes off in the primaries in ‘08 then, sure, do it. If she doesn’t find the situation to her liking in ‘08 she has another four or eight years to continue gaining influence in all the “right” places.

Rayne good point (61). Darn. But you know I have a feeling she’s doing some kind of juggling act though.
I am trying to figure this stuff out.

Edward,
I think Rupert’s backing of Hillary at this point is strategic in nature. I really do. The way he sees it, is McCain will get the GOP nomination when the Republicans crash and burn in November because they will be looking for electability.

In turn, Clinton will lose to McCain because McCain has the MSM fooled about being a “maverick,” and the MSM will continue to talk it up and legitimize it.

Fact is, Clinton is very polarizing and she would lose in a nationwide general election and Rupert wants to see to it that she gets the nomination.

ever since hillary was photographed kissing arafat’s wife, hillary has bent over backwards to please the zionists who rule new york politics — governor pataki, for instance, bends over just as far — hillary might not have become so extreme about putting america second had she made her political career in, say, arkansas — she’s a creature of her chosen geography & demography

AIPAC doesn’t work by directly contributing to a campaign. They publish recommendations about candidates with ratings on AIPAC-issues. If Hillary has a 90% AIPAC rating, many folk will donate to her. If she gets off the reservation, money dries up and a more AIPAC-friendly candidate gets fielded next election with money!

Matt O. Even with those Bob Jones / Liberty “University” speeches? You’re probably right. But the mind reels.

mui (75) — here’s info from this year’s filings:

Total Pro-Israel PAC donations received to date: $30,618

Donors:
Americans for Good Government $1,000

Americans United in Support of Democracy $6,500

California PAC $1,000

City PAC $2,000

Joint Action Cmte for Political Affairs $5,118

MOPAC $5,000

National Action Cmte $5,000

National PAC $5,000

She’s outpacing her Pro-Israel donations rate of last year already. In contrast, she’s received $5000 from the Iranian American PAC.

Clearly the American Iranian community is concerned and wants her help. But the Pro-Israel PAC’s are obviously commanding attention.

What’s quite scary (see the link from my last comment) is the $$ received from AT&T, Bell South, other telecom. Uh, yuh…

Speaking of Hillary, Susan Sarandon is backing Hill’s primary challenger.

The Democrats are a national Charlie Brown, with the Republicans & DINOs endlessly playing Lucy.

Psychiatric Advice 5 cents: Lucy in disguise with DINO man.

Hi everybody, just getting caught up after vaca shopping today. Found a great forties dress that would have fit me last summer but after so much ice cream and FDL all winter, I didn’t even try it on. There is a great hat I have my eye on. Sorry I missed the what are you wearing thread.

During my time in exile from FDL (couldn’t go anywhere at all, but just opened another window cuz I was skeered to close completely), I found a couple of pieces of information I thought were interesting.

Jim Marcinkowski is running for Congress in Mich 8th, and I think this is a great candidate for FDL to get behind. Jim is one of the 3 ex-CIA guys who testified for the Senate regarding the Plame issue, along with Larry Johnson and Vincent Cannistraro. He has the support of many, many unions and needs money. I would like to propose we open an actblue page for him, whaddya think. (He has a frontpage link to “Plame Gate” on his campaign website.

Jim Marcinkowski

Also, via Pat Lang’s site, I found an amazing series of e-mails between Joe Galloway and Larry DiRita, Rummy’s press fool, with encouragement from McCaffrey to publish. Galloway is amazing. This should be sent to clueless Hil.

Galloway/DiRita

Finally, I heard on NPR that Russ and Arlen had a dustup in the Senate today over the Gay Marriage thing, and when Russ walked out, Arlen said,”Good Riddance”. I can’t wait to hear what Russ has to say about this. For him to walk out of the Senate, this had to be pretty hot.

I would love for Hillary to wake up, because I think it would allow her to better serve the Democrats she’s supposed to represent. If she could do that – and I’m not sure she can – she’d be a more palatable nominee, but I’m not ready to sigh the loyalty oath just yet. I’m not at all convinced that Hillary is the right candidate for the Democrats, but the GOP collectively salivate and drool at the idea (just watch Tweety – he can’t go 20 minutes without bringing her into the conversation, and he probably sprays his guests with quarts of drool).

My daughter’s best guy friend will be interning in Hillary’s office in D.C. for 6 weeks this summer. I don’t know that he will have any actual contact with Her Ladyship, (and this guy is also pretty “red”), but I’m wondering if he could get a feel for how much attention her staff pays to the blogs. At this point, I have to think it’s not much, because if someone were paying attention, it would be obvious that Joe has no mo’ mojo with the Democratic wing of the party. I’ll see what I can do.

Hillary needs consultants who are up-to-speed, and not still living in Shrum-land or Carville-town. They need to can the DLC middle-of-the-road, straddling-the-fence, LOSING strategy and get with the program. And they could start by seeing Lieberman for the albatross he is.

Rayne, that is scary. It also seems she and Lieberman get a lot from securities & investment, realestate, etc. I don’t have her actual FEC filings in front of me. Low tech equipment right now. But I have printed out Lieberman’s, almost all 100 plus pages or so. Yeah, it is frustrating. Especially since these committees can sound so Orwellian. Schumer seems to get a lot from investment bankers and banksand maybe what looks like law firms. . Well, it’s a start.

I assume that these are the ads that *ilson and others have mentioned. (no TV myself) downloadable files http://www.americansunitedforc…..imedia.htm

I have to agree that the consultants have an outdated mentality, and sadly, so does some of the Democratic leadership. I like what Dean is doing with the 50 State Strategy but Pelosi, Hoyer, Schumer and to a lesser-extent Rahm are disappointing me.

In fact, I think Pelosi blew it the other night by saying impeachment is off the table.

Oh, and is there something else we can call these people besides “congress-critters?” It makes them sound like something you’d want to cuddle up with, and most of them aren’t anything I’d even consider doing that with.

Maybe “congress-crappers,” since that seems to describe about the only thing they actually produce, and that’s where they do it.

Am I the only one who read that Joe needs to have his petition signatures submitted by the day after the primary?

APAC’s tentacles are many and long. They make the KGB look like small-timers. We need to be very conscious about what is good for our country and not let other countries and their organizations command too much influence.

zennurse (83) — yeah, that bit about Specter/Feingold is pretty ugly…I think Feingold could make a great case about Specter’s conduct unbecoming a Senator…don’t know about Senate rules, but the House rules wouldn’t permit that lip from Specter on the floor.

And thanks for the plug for Marcinowski; he’s running against one of Abramoff’s many bought-and-paid-for representatives, Mike Rogers. Rogers is a DeLay rubber stamp and if memory serves, received the most $$ in this state from DeLay/Abramoff. Nasty baggage, needs to be ejected.

zennurse and Rayne,

Glad you brought up Jim Marcinkowski for MI 8th. Except I’m in a quandry about this guy, and the 8th is my district here. Ex-Republican recently decided to run as a Dem against Rogers (who he assumed he couldn’t beat perhaps?). Need I say more? He’s scrubbed all references from his site about his Republican background that I saw back in Jan when he had an ad running on here and all the liberal blogs. I’ve been wanting to research him more or see if anyone here knows more about him. Rogers has got to go but I worry we’re being set up, if either wins the Repubs still have a guy in the 8th that controls our capitol area district, yes?

testing

is anybody out there ???

“tomorrow is likely Fitzdictment Day — the servers gotta be fixed. It’s a matter of national security!”
I hope so, but IMHO, it’s also possible that Rove flipped on Scooter and is already under a sealed indictment. In this scenario, Rove and Luskin can’t talk about the indictment and Fitz may be researching an indictment of Cheney which could be a ways away.
AFAIK, the fact that we haven’t heard anything, doesn’t mean Fitz isn’t making progress.

May I please be the first to tell Specter to go fuck himself? TIA.
