Now I understand why the Supremes are criminalizing whistleblowers. When we get our country back we can fire these paid shill justices. It takes so much money to pay so many people for democracy.

I have this awful feeling that as the scandals keep unfolding, the media, including the blogs, are too busy hopping from one on one day to the next on the second day, to the next on the third ….. ad infinitum.

Can we get a TV ad that shows a cascade with dates? - preferably for all States from mid September.

It should include gory footage of war and images of (patriotic?/brave?) sexual perversion.

And oh, ignore the paper hatted wingnuts like they are non-corporeal aliens or the consultants for that matter.

It’s not just mind-bending RICO but also virulent racism. Look at the copperhead hirstory of the place and look at the riots in 2001. Then came the long queue’s and delays to vote - where were they again? What districts?
Democratic corporatism is the wrong road of appeasement and Sirota is right. There has been a ‘ hostile takeover’. This has all led us to this disaster.
The Democratic party must get back to the road map laid out by Martin Luther King and that is democratic socialism.
Time to clean up our own back yard.

By pleading guilty Noe saves the Republicans a lot of bad publicity as the mid term elections near. Taft will be leaving office at the end of the year so there is always a chance Noe will be pardoned for serving his masters so faithfully.

Thanks to all who answered my Clenis question. I guess I am still more naive than I realized.

Thanks also to advice on the Jonah Goldberg lie. I decided smacking him down in my local paper–and possibly influencing them to drop his column–outweighs any risk that it might just give further life to the Al-Gore-as-serial-exaggerator crap. I demanded they print a retraction and find a new columnist.

All–
Are you kidding? I had to stop reading the Rolling Stone article *during the intro,* my heart was pounding and I was so furious. I have to get some work done before I go back. I may just buy the paper copy, to encourage RS to do more.

Jim Preston @ 108–

Agree. So here’s my (next) question: Even if you’ve got people waving ten exit polls in full agreement, then what? Who ya gonna call? If the criminals are running the gov’t. (in, say, Ohio), what recourse does anyone have? I mean this literally, not despairingly. The cops? The state’s justice dept.?

I can’t even write this, I’m so livid.

Is it sensible, or deluded, to think that applying concerted pressure on, say, the NY Times, to write about this, will have an effect? Not because everyone is afraid of the NYT, but because once it reaches their front page, everybody thinks that everybody thinks there must be something to it. I don’t think I’m a romantic as regards The Press, but I do think public pressure can result in things, and one way to collect and focus it is through mass media.

The larger question would be, if not the media, then who? Look at how wimpy the Dems are. Look at how fully corrupted the Repubs are. Somebody hit me on the head with a brick and put me out of my misery…

Two wiseguys saying, “Ciao, paisan!”

Anybody done a RICO analysis on all of this? I mean the whole Bush mob criminal enterprise? What if it could be proved that there was a conspiracy to hollow out the U.S. Treasury, in part for the benefit of the co-conspirators?
