EPU’ed so reposted here again:

Congressional offices regularly receive all sorts of books — it’s no big deal to them. Most are weird, self-published books. The books arrive and a pro-forma thank-you note gets sent from the Congresscritter. The books pile up around the office. Next time you are in a Congressional office, look at the books on the shelves: totally oddball selection – all gifts. Bored staff may poke through the pile and borrow any that might interest them. There’s usually one or two staffers that read blogs – they are the ones that’ll skim through CtG. Bingo !

Is Bush wearing a seat belt? The most powerful man in the world and he’s not wearing a seat belt? Is there a law in Arizona requiring the use of seat belts. If we can’t get him for [name the 50 things this President has done that can be considered impeachable] maybe we just get him arrested for not wearing a seat belt!

I’M THE BUGGY-WUGGY-DUBYA OF COMPANY B!!!

George W. Bush always though Michael Dukakis looke dcool in that tank.

WASHINGTON (AP) — “Wardrobe malfunctions” and other indecency may soon cost broadcasters 10 times more in federal fines.
Both the Senate and House have now passed legislation to dramatically increase penalties for broadcasters that break federal rules and air profane or indecent material during certain hours. The two bills still have to be merged into one.

With no dissent, the Senate late Thursday approved a bill to raise indecency fines 10-fold to $325,000 per violation for television and radio broadcast stations that air profane or indecent material between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., prime family viewing hours.

“Families should be able to turn on the television during that period of time and trust the broadcasters to abide by the law,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who called up the legislation after it languished for more than a year.

“Broadcasters should know that if they cross the line the penalties will be serious,” he added.

The policy would not apply to cable or satellite services.

Opponents said parents should not expect fines to ease their responsibility for what their children watch.

“No amount of government control will help parents make decisions about what their children should see on TV,” said Jim Dyke, the executive director of TV Watch, an interest group that opposes government regulation of television programming.

The House a year ago passed a version that would raise fines to as much as $500,000 per violation and require the Federal Communications Commission to also weigh revoking a station’s license after three indecency violations.

The legislation was inspired by the 2004 Superbowl halftime show, during which singer Janet Jackson briefly exposed one breast in what she later called a “wardrobe malfunction.”

The FCC fined 20 CBS Corp. television stations a total $550,000 for the Jackson incident. CBS apologized but challenged the fine. The legislation’s proponents say current fines are not enough to deter broadcasters that earn millions of dollars in revenues every year. The FCC can now fine broadcasters $32,500 per violation.

The bill is S. 193.

First thing I thought of when Olbermann showed the dune buggy idiocy footage last night was the way they trashed Dukakis for “looking silly in that tank.” Well, I wasn’t the only one who thought of this: Check out the improved version of that photo. Oh, and Countdown’s juxtaposition of Bush waving on his circular joyride followed by David Gregory asking him if he’ll resign like Nixon was priceless.

Is it just me, or does the front windshield and hood of the dune buggy actually look like a VW Bug? Are we actually looking at a super-modified Beetle? If so, the only country that still makes old school Bugs, and has done so continuously since their introduction, is Mexico.

Oh the irony.

Border patrol recovers lost drone.

Christy, FYI there seem to be some lingering server issues. The pix for the last three posts are not showing up, just text that says, e.g., “BushBorDer.jpg”.

“The DUI’s don’t count. Do you know who I am?”

Saw the footage on Countdown last night, great juxtaposition by Olbermann of Bush spinning in circles in his dune buggy and then David Gregory asking him if he’ll resign like Nixon, while he sweats in the 120 degree heat. The first thing I thought of was the way they trashed Dukakis (who was an Army vet) for taking a tank ride; well I wasn’t the only one who thought of this (improved version of the photo).

I noticed he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, too. I guess it’s just one more rule that doesn’t apply.

Here’s my caption of wishful thinking:

“Shortly after this picture was taken, President Bush, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, was thrown from the vehicle when it swerved to avoid hitting an illegal alien.”

Christy, I’m having the same issue as estiv @ 91. I’m using Firefox 1.5.0.3 if that helps.

It’s boggles my mind that people actually buy into a photo op like this.

What is really sad is that Americans, for the most part, are not very bright. I recall a LONG time ago, when Clinton first took office, he raised taxes of the wealthy. I overheard some at work whining that Clinton raised their taxes. I couldn’t help myself and chimed in, even though I didn’t know these people. I said, “I know you don’t make 100K (or whatever it was) — YOUR taxes weren’t raised.” They argued with me. I said, “Then tell me how much your taxes were raised.” They said they didn’t know. Huh? Don’t they know how much is taken out for taxes on their paycheck stubs? Anyway, I told them I would get back to them on April 15. And I did. I asked them then, “Well, how much were your taxes raised?” They admitted that their taxes were NOT raised. They looked at me like I was some kind of soothsayer or something.

Americans, by and large, are NOT very bright.

what’s the punishment if you’re caught speaking a foreign language in the public square? Will you be held at Guatanamo as an “enemy combabtant”, will you be secretly jetted off to a Eastern European “black site”? Or will the feds be really compassionate conservatives and just gently deport you to back to your mother country so you can be tortured by the policia there?

Look at his face, and his death grip. He’s scared.

From the marketwatch link: In the hands of corrupt officials this mountain of data, especially if it keeps coming in, is incredibly valuable for all sorts of uses.

Just got the mail out of the box. I received an invitation to the Bill Clinton/Jim McDermott event the evening of June 3. The price? $50 per ticket. Really normal, straightforward invite that very respectfully mentions Senator Cantwell’s Clinton/Cantwell event the same afternoon.

The other invitation was from Cantwell’s people. Printed on large-sized card in curly font , and made to look like a wedding invitation. Doesn’t mention McDermott (because she hates him) and the ticket price? Starting at $250, goes up to $1,000 per person.

Golly. I wonder which event I’ll attend? A true coin toss, this one…..

Reminds me of my mother, when the stock market dropped one time and people were bitching about losing money. Her reaction was ‘You don’t lose any money until you sell the stock!’ [implied addition: ‘Idiots.’] She didn’t think much of the current maladministration either (or any of the previous GOoP presidents back to about 1960).

The reinforcements, described as a significant number, will come from other areas inside Iraq, but military sources are not saying when the troops will arrive.

Fighting has been raging in the sprawling, largely Sunni Arab province west of Baghdad for days; coalition forces have engaged insurgents in the area every day since May 7, the military said…

Cheney vs. World & Implications Thereof, Update #666:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/new…..xnews.html

The above article indicates just how pissed the Russians are at Cheney’s recent Latvian lesson in hypocrisy. There was a serious diplomatic incident between Condi Rice and Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign affairs minister..to the extent that it freaked out British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw’s replacement, Margaret Beckett. Not good. It’s the kind of incident that precedes war. It is significant that this got press coverage in the first place; Beckett must have decided that it should, which means she had a “holy shit” moment, is trying to head off war, and thinks Cheney is insane.

Indeed, Cheney is a fucking nutjob, a threat to the world, but domestically it’s perversely more important that he’s also a millstone to his party that needs to be taken down. Rove is in position to do it, and conveniently enough is trapped in the jaws of Fitz. But like most people would do in the same position, Rover’s had to calculate his chances of physical survival after crossing Cheney; flipping on him is a deadly serious decision. I’m impatient and the champagne is cluttering up my fridge, but I find reason for optimism in the silence. It means Rove has bought more time, which means he has given more up to do so.

Psst. Here’s the news. Karl Rove has been indicted. It happened last Friday at his lawyer’s office in Washington. Patrick Fitzgerald was there, and so was Rove. They tried to make a deal, but in the end Fitz handed Rove the indictment and gave him 24 hours to get his affairs in order. It’s a huge story. Huge. But the right-wing MSM—you know, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the networks—are so in the tank for Bush that they’re covering it up. The only guy with the guts to report it is Jason Leopold at that website, truthout.org. But as soon as he did, the wing nuts—hacks like Byron York at National Review Online—started attacking him, saying Rove’s people are denying everything. Get this—they say Rove and Fitz weren’t even at that office at all on Friday. It never happened. Well, don’t believe it. Jason is a first-rate journalist—don’t buy all that stuff about his being fired for untrue stories or any of it. He’s got the sources—just ask Joe Wilson and Larry Johnson. Jason is right.

rat bastahd – Isn’t it precious how Ed Kilgore says we are wasting our time throwing money at primary races?

I’ll love seeing the look on his face when Lamont beats the shine off Leiberman’s bald spot.

“What’s it feel like to run over a brownie?”

Caption:

After the Border Patrol passes up every filling station looking for affordable gas, the Preznit turns to his driver and says, “Do you suppose those amigos on the other side of the border will let us borrow their gas can?”

Chimpy: There’s a force field on this rig somewhere, right?

Border Patrol: No sir.

Chimpy: Heh, heh, sure there is, now turn it on.

Border Patrol: Really, sir. There is no bullet proof protection or force field.

Chimpy: What if the illegals or Cay-yo-tees wanna get close to me?

Border Patrol: Then we’ll outdrive ‘em.

Chimpy: Wisht I brung another pair of dungarees… or Dick was here with his gun.

This is EPU material but what the hell…

I was gonna use “Do you think I’m sexy now?”

but this works, too:

“Turn left? Turn left to what you stupid bitch?”

It’s a one thousand, nine hundred eighty five miles to Chicago. We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, my poll numbers have tanked, and I’m posing for pictures in the middle of the desert in a frick’n dune buggy.

“Beutiful! Now show me sexy! Fabulous! Okay, now give me vaguely perturbed but mostly un-interested!”

I swear, I keep looking at the writing on the buggy and it looks like WHITED STATES BORDER PATROL and the color of STATES is blue with the other words in reddish brown. or am i hallucinating?

Normally I get paid for this, but here’s a Friday Freebie cuz I love the FDL. Now get me a breakfast pass…

“GOP ‘06: Keeping color within the lines”

Give me props and I’ll give you another …

“No shit. This thing runs on tequila ? Well then, two birds, amigo!”

Hey Fred! Barney here. Where’s my legs?

Mwahaha — TheNamer at 172 — good one.

I’m gonna tell rummy to get a whole passel of these bad boys to our troops P.D.Q., they’ll get a blast outta them!

Can you put a picture of Dukakis in a tank next the one of Bush?

CLUELESS CRACKER ARRESTED BY BORDER PATROL FOR IMPERSONATING BEING THE PREZNIT

No-scar Dad

(TO THE TUNE OF THE “FLINTSTONES” THEME)
George Bush, Preznit George Bush

If he could, he’d make you serfs and slaves

He don’t think fast, he’s too steadfast

Gonna build more fence and claim we’re safe.

Ridin’ ‘long his border with Vince Fox,

Pretendin’ that illegals are the pox.

But if you check his record

You’ll see that he likes cheap labor,

He loves cheap labor,

‘Cause he’s elitist slime!

And they thought Mike Dukakis looked stupid!

Caption:

“Generalissimo El Busho prowls the border looking for enemies to chase down.”

“I got my 7.5 pound perch now I wanna catch a hundred pound mexican.”

Yuma’s annoying, but nearby the Organ Pipe National Monument is beautiful beyond belief.

Stand out there in the beautiful, burning desert, and you know why the westward passage across the west (pre-railroad) was known as the camino del diablo.

“…that’s right, light-skinned male, mid-50’s, barely speaks English. What should I do? Roger that, I’ll bring him in…517 clear…”

Bein’ prezident is hard work.

“I’ve decided. Throw it in reverse and back up over the spics.”

Border Security Theater Presents:

Snug As A Shrub In A Bug

Caption:

JFK put a lunar rover on the moon, GWB ran down a Mexican on the border with a dune buggy.

NASCAR DAD- A white male from the rural South, a once reliable Democrat, that went Republican with Ronald Reagan and rarely looked back.

NOSCAR DAD- A white male from a wealthy family, a once reliable cheerleader, that went missing from the National Guard during time served.

Its too bad this picture wasn’t taken in 2004. Bush looks as ridiculous riding in this thing as Dukakis did in that tank.

The Idiot-In-Chief goes for a ride.

“Poppy, Mommy, look at me!!”

“Bar, that boy should be wearing a helmet, you know he can’t stand anymore bumps on the head.”

Instead “Worst President Ever,” how about “Stupidest President Ever.”

Here are the pictures, together:

Shoephone, cbl, how about

Lil’ douche coupe

But I have to vote for Norman (131) and GSD (141) in a dead heat.

“Tomorrow – The Coast Guard !”

“No, Karl, the Boy Scouts are just too gay. And I don’t like the shorts”

“You’re doin’ a heckuva job, Whitey!”
“Thank you, sir!”
“That new border fence will keep all the undesirables out for sure, huh?!”
“That’s the idea, sir!”
“Um… does it look as nice on its north side?”
