FITZZZZZZ!!!!!

A null set by any other name!

Yassss.

Another shill for freedom.

I have no patience for these nitwits today…

Hee, the campaign that couldn’t shoot straight.

Nice catch, Jane. I was wondering why Davis was pimping the Lieberman line so strong. There was all that “Davis” wouldn’t speak if Hillary didn’t direct it (kinda like you and Kos *g*). That didn’t seem right somehow. I think Hillary is staying clear of the quicksand that is named Lieberman (like Joe-bright’s misplaced train schedule).

But Davis going out there for Lieberman and his Republican/tiangulated/business pals?

Now that sounds right.

[Moderator: please use the Email address from the Contact page to write to Jane.]

getting back back on topic, the more these Joementum-types spin the more their true colors show through.

Imm sed “tiangulated”

This is why my husband won’t wear one. It happened to him once.

Shoulda waited for this thread! Oh well, pardon my repost.

Got contacted by the Lamont folks today wanting me to write to papers so I did. Here’s what I came up with:

Joe Lieberman wants Connecticut voters to believe that he is a true Democrat and that it is foolish to characterize him as “in bed” with the Republican administration. It’s hard to take this assertion seriously having seen the Senator in his debate with challenger Ned Lamont. From his continual use of the folksy Reaganesque “There you go again” to his incessant and quite churlish charges of flip flopping he showed himself to be quite willing to use the tactics of his Republican colleagues. He all but accused Mr. Lamont of “Cut and Run” mentality.

He insists that Mr. Lamont is running a one issue campaign. This is not true but it must be clear even to the Senator that the occupation of Iraq is the pressing issue of the day. And what is his defense of supporting this catastrophic enterprise? He believed and still believes it was the right thing to do. Further he claims credit for being principled and for crossing partisan lines to show his support for the failed policies of the current administration even though that support is squarely at odds with the will not only of his constituency but with the National polity.

One can only assume from his constant pointing to his ability to bring home the bacon that the Senator believes that being the breadwinner for Connecticut is all the representation he is required to perform. Is pork the only price the people of Connecticut will demand from a representative who will not represent the will of the ordinary citizenry? I hope they will hold their political power at least as dear as their pocket books.

If you’d like to do the same, the Lamont site makes it easy just go here.

If Boxer was coming, they wouldn’t get Lanny or Brooks off the bench. This race is one good story after another. How many democrats who have to face another election will come out for joe.

Hey, Mr. Davis has not one, but 2 degrees from Yale! Are we allowed to criticize his type?

Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board

And that’s been a smashing success, hasn’t it?

Turns out that, like Mike McCurry, he’s a soulless pimp.

Lookie Here.

Old Hugo Chavez is going to boycott mostly red states.

“The states where Citgo will stop selling gasoline are: Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Dakota. A limited number of stations in Illinois, Texas, Arkansas and Iowa will also be affected.”

http://www.businessweek.com/ap.....mp;chan=db

-GSD

The Citgo refinery was once owned by Seven-Eleven food stores. When it was purchased by Venezuala, there were supply agreements that ran with the purchase. Don’t know if they are still running- or whether they survived Southland’s purchase by Ito-Yokodo- but the states mentioned are states where there is very little store presence by Seven Eleven- or where an area licensee owns the stores.

Well, if there was to be a march in New Haven, it could end up on the green close to Yale after going to the hospital and everbody could hammer home the Yale connection wearing skull and bones and other fun stuff.

I wrote to wtnh news the other day to complain about their lack of objectivity in saying that Maura harassed Lieberman at the Stamford Irish Pub. I just got the following response from Marc Davis:

Thank you for your recent e-mail. A review of the script of the story on 7/10 shows that we referred to the picketers and the woman’s verbal confrontation at Senator Lieberman’s event as “a bit of of political harrassment.” We respectfully disagree and believe it accurately desribes the tone of both the picketers we witnessed and the woman’s verbal exchange with Senator Lieberman. The reason you were able to asses that the woman “asked Lieberman the question in a calm manner,” is because we ran her exchange with the Senator essentially unedited so that you the viewer could clearly make that judgement. I believe we are the only news media outlet
that was willing to run that segement of the Lieberman event. We did this because we feel this kind of dissent and verbal confrontation is a very big part of the Lieberman story. You’ll be interested to know that the Lieberman campaign was very upset and found our story to be unfair. Before we went on the air, they attempted to discredit the woman in hopes that we wouldn’t run it.
I’m sorry if you found our description in anyway offensive or unfair but any kind of confrontation at these usually well staged photo opportunities is somewhat out of the ordinary. We take our objectivity very seriously but realize that objectivity is sometimes subject to interpretation. I certainly take your observations seriously and hope you will continue to watch.

‘Slong as we’re talking soo-prises:

theres plenty of room for Lieberman in the Democratic Party — the more, the merrier! — the question however is whether he should be elected as a Senator from Connecticut by mostly-Democratic voters.

lotus 20 -

Is Dear Leader gonna “listen to the commanders on the ground” here? Or, has Casey effectively just signed his early retirement papers?

What an intriguing letter, amy . . . sooo, JoHo’s trying to muscle reporters just like he’s trying to hustle voters. And he’s making further headway to nowhere.

Well I for one am so relieved that our Senators have used their time so wisely in changing the name of the Emergency Management Agency. However, I believe the new name was misreported–it is actually Emergency Mis-management Agency. If the shoe fitz…….oops

BREAKING STORY (I think) –

Republican Drops out of CT Senate Race

http://www.mydd.com/story/2006.....commenttop

by Matt Stoller, Wed Jul 12, 2006 at 04:57:06 PM EST

The current nobody on the R line is dropping out because of a gambling scandal, not because Republicans are going to put up a serious candidate and hope to win in a three way race. Nope, it’s because he gambled.

I wonder if Lieberman’s move to run as an independent is still principled.

http://hotlineblog.nationaljou....._ct_1.html

By the way, the A there is my typo, not NYT’s headline.

Bobby, last week I would have guessed (b). This week, it just might be (a). Whatcha reckon?

He’s gonna bust his 25 JAR soon either way.

Crooks and Liars now has the video of Joey Joe Joe saying:

It is time for Democrats who distrust President Bush to acknowledge that he will be Commander-in-Chief for three more critical years, and that in matters of war, we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril.

http://www.crooksandliars.com/.....dent-bush/

RE: JiO, immanentize and al Scooter – Prior thread and now Reality @ 16-Previous thread (Earp!, an apparent adherent to the Reality is Subjective school of thought[lessness])

I’ll chip in my 2 cents for what it’s worth.

I think Madsen is more accurate than we give him credit when he is relaying insider source material and essentially acting as a conduit for whistleblowers. Remember he broke the stories on NSA spying and illegal CIA rendition 6 months before it surfaced in the press. I haven’t read the item but it sounds like Madsen in this case is editorializing an opinion without facts and purely speculating. If so, he would do himself a favour to emphasize the distinction.
On the delays, (I should emphasize that I believe that Fitz is not an intentional part of those) but I am of the speculative mind that the delays are the product of a deeply intense and covert battle for the control of the Whitehouse between Rove (and his potential future Rethuglican candidate franchise) and Cheney’s plans for bequeathing control of the private military industrial oiligarch complex he has constructed post 9/11.
The fuse in between this explosive showdown is the possible threat of Rove popping out like a jack-in-the-box from the Plame case’s Sealed vs Sealed…(continued)

Coo-ee, another ‘pay and spray pundit’ shilling shrilly…But this time lending their meager talents to the cause of an across-the-aisle buttboy swirling in the drain of public perception…ahem, bipartisanship…What great strides the noble overseers are making!

;>)

JEEBus — do you think CT’s “Gooper Cindy Sheehan” got an early heads-up this morning?

lotus 26 -

More likely neither. Or, maybe (a) if they can do it without press coverage (hard to see how they could pull that off, keeping a signficant influx of troops out of the news).

What a mess.

The gas wars are coming to the homeland, eh? There are quite a number of Citgo stations in Minnesota, this is going to be noticed.

The interesting thing will be to see if CIA/Plame blowback will have to light the fuse or if this will all evaporate into the non-existent speculative airs from whence it came.

Speculation is fun…kinda like reading the press in reverse.

~

CT Bob, are you here? How fast can you GET here?

Lotus, at first I was pissed when I read the email from Marc Davis — because I don’t feel “harrassed” was appropriate. But on second reading, I felt a little bit better because Lieberman was pissed about the story. Um, hello, what do you think will happen when you ditch your party so you can have a power grab and continue to kiss Bush’s ass?

Also, I liked that Marc Davis called the event a “well staged photo opportunity”. Totally a la Bush.

oh I am just sickened, wolfie has a military guy on who is spinning so fast and furious about Iraq that Rumpelstiltskin would be envious. But then Dumsfeld his boss is there.

“we undermine Presidential credibility at our nation’s peril”

Right. WE don’t have to do ANYTHING to undermine the Cred of the Dufus-in-Chief. GeeW PERSONIFIES the phrase “self-refuting.”

Man, BobbyG, that’s got two too many syllables for GeeW to personify.

Amy #19 - is there a link to that WTNH story?

“Doofus” is about his limit.

Lotus, nice catch, I meant our little slave labor state the Marianas.

I get the feeling that Argentina might make a move on the Maldives sometime soon.

-GSD

the Malvinas are different from the Maldives — quite different !

GSD #16,Bush fucked with the wrong latino IMHO.
I roared with laughter when some idiot was quoted as saying Bush was a master chess player when it came to foreign policy,said he was “7 moves ahead”. L.M.F.A.O..Chavez just gut punched ‘em. On top of selling heating oil in the NE cheap. Bush league, indeed.

While the Brits are again tied down in Afghanistan and Iraq, eh, GSD?

Dunno, maybe the Argentines have about had it with militarism by now.

CEO #10–

“How many democrats who have to face another election will come out for joe”?

GOOD QUESTION

And that’s where WE come in–we need to let our good representatives know we’re watching them and taking notes!!!

Defend Lieberman–at your own risk!!

Malvinas, Maldives, Marianas — if lhp gets three female pups, she’s all set with names!

I mean if there was a REPUBLICAN senator in trouble, and Al Gore and Howard Dean and Al Franken all came out defending him/her, would we expect Republicans to re-elect him/her?? Sheesh.

The left really is misunderestimated.

Cool that Maura’s segment pissed off Camp HoJo!! ROFL!!

Busted,

I think it was the tolly Tony Snow that made the chess analogy.

I picture Bush flipping over the chessboard with his messy peanut butter and jelly fingers after his queen gets taken in the second move.

He would then yell “I’m always right! The Pentagon said so.”

tolly=tooly.

-GSD

I can’t take it– wolf just asked if the world wasn’t falling apart because of what’s going on in North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, India, Palestine and Lebanon.

History and political science buff Lou replied, we have been saying on my program that this is not a war against terror, it is a war against radical Islam.

Nice job.

From that NYT story on Casey’s call for more troops in B’dad, the last sentence goes:

“We all have this last chance to reconcile and work hard to avoid the conflict and the blood,” Mr. Maliki went on. “If it fails - God forbid - I don’t know what will be Iraq’s fate.”

This race is really revealing about party loyalty or whatever they call it.

If you have rules.. then you play by them. If someone mounts a challenge AS a democrat and wins the primary they ARE the democratic party candidate and SHOULD receive the support of the democratic party and no democrats should run against the winner of the primary. It is that simple.

What appears to be happening is that the grass roots are speaking and the bog boys don’t like what they have to say and they cry FOUL PLAY… lie cheat and play dirty.

Why would anyone want THEM to be in YOUR party? Why would YOU want to be in THEIR party?

What a sorry mess… It’s all power and ego and who give a hoot about the people!

“Malvinas, Maldives, Marianas — if lhp gets three female pups, she’s all set with names!”

What about he Mariachis?

-GSD

Maura committed lese majeste, pure and simple. The peasants are revolting! (aren’t they though!)

Mariachi for the boy pup.

Thanks, amy.

How to get the bad news out quickly - and quietly
by Lanny Davis
SNIP
There were two major techniques that we used to implement McCurry’s strategy of getting all the bad news out early and helping reporters write bad stories.

http://www.washingtonmonthly.c.....andal.html

Speaking of tooly.

Tom Delay is “ineligible” to run for his old seat.

http://thinkprogress.org/2006/...../#comments

-GSD

OMG Thanks ck–will Schlesinger drop out? That is SOooo funny on a number of levels:

link:

http://hotlineblog.nationaljou....._ct_1.html

That would leave the field free for Lieberman to follow his heart and run as a repug, no?

Check out this post on my Kos page: I asked for a primer on CT politics and this was part of his response:

“The [Republican] candidate for senator is a given to come in last. The only reason he was even nominated is because the other guy was such a radioactive racist the party wanted nothing to do with him so Alan Schlesinger got it by default. Support for him is soft from what I can tell. 6 years ago the token Republican got 33% more or less and that was before he was sent to jail for child molestation. Incidentally, had the Supreme Court not ruled for their guy Dumbo we would likely have had a child molester as a Senator thanks in no small part to Joenomentum.”

ROFL

and we know that Tom Delay is an honorable man and would never attempt to bamboozle anybody, ever …

DefJef–do you get the feeling sometimes that the Dems are mad that somebody’s PAYING ATTENTION??

Damn straight we are!!!

BLOG POWER

My prediction:

Lamont stomps Lieberman in the primary, Lieberman comes under intense pressure to quite the race and not force a 3-way. He takes a $5 to 10 million dollar lobbying gig for one of the big defense firms, where he will be able to exploit his relationships on both sides of the political fence in Washington.

It would be great if the goopers are prohibited from removing Delay from the ballot- and he is declared ineligible to run as well. Sort of appropriate way to end his career.

More from :

Schlesinger out; Diana Urban in? (BTW: Urban is a big time anti-war Republican who should be taken very seriously…in other words, so much for Joementum’s support among Republicans.)

Urban, 56, will be running as an anti-war candidate and in a brief telephone interview sounded like a Republican version of Cindy Sheehan. The three term state legislator, claiming the Bush administration possesses a “flat learning curve”, says America went into Iraq for the wrong reasons. She says she was heavily influenced by recently published account of the war, Cobra II. On a more philosophical level, she cleaves to the Sun-Tzu’s Art of War, declaring that her campaign strategy comes from him: “The path will reveal itself to you.”

Claiming “a number of women asked me over and over again to do this”, Urban is not giving up her race for re-election to the state legislature, for which she is unopposed from her affluent southeastern Connecticut district, previously represented by Iraq war enthusiast, Congressman Rob Simmons.
A Republican anti-war candidate with nothing to lose and everything to gain…Joe, you’re screwed.

UPDATE: Quick info on Urban. Also some good stuff here.

John Fund Goes On Trial
by The Editors

July 12, 2006 —NEW YORK (apj.us)—The civil trial of conservative pundit John Fund on charges of abusing former girlfriend Morgan Gell (ne Morgan F. Pillsbury) is under way.

A source close to the case has told American Politics Journal that a final attempt to arbitrate the matter yesterday morning failed; jury selection began yesterday and was completed this morning.

Hmm … screwed that up, din’t I?

Here: http://connecticutblog.blogspot.com

All the Clintonistas are shills. And there’s Clinton, himself, rhapsodizing against us nasty old netroots folks in Aspen - his rallying cry for Hillary ‘08.

Two months ago I paid $100 to take a friend and me to see Clinton speak and host a fundraiser for Jim McDermott’s Legal Defense Fund. But now? Well, Jim can keep my money because he truly needs it. But I wouldn’t trust myself to be in the same room with Bubba. I’d end up making a scene. How could I not shake his hand, look him in the eye and tell him he has his head up his ass?

All the phony dems, falling in line to attack the netroots. They don’t have their thinking caps on.

A judge already ruled that DeLay’s name can’t be taken off the ballot. Now he is officially ineligible to run. Can you say… PRICLESS?.
And just for fun , DeLaycalled the ruling a ‘policy statement instead of a ruling’.

Powerfull stuff, that Kool-Aid.

Urban sounds less like a republican than Lieberman, honestly.

She sure does, Jenny — and WAAAAY smarter.

So,

Will Funds utility as a pundit dry up if he loses the case or will his stock rise ala Coulter.

I can see the rightwing apologists now:

“Well, sure he was abusive, but his women always knew where he stood. You have to appreciate a man with a firm pimp hand, it shows character.”

Perhaps we have a new name: Pimp-hand Fund

So the goopers are going to run an anti-war candidate? Strange- want to split the Lamont voted? Getting stranger and stranger out there in insurance company land.

send in the clowns, *ilson, jest like Jane said.

lotus, the CT race is suddenly upside-down land. :)

Ha ha. Lieberman can play his cards for the general right now, but no way is he a viable candidate for his ‘party of one’ if he loses the primary.

Buh, bye, Joe!

Delay is creating his own reality. Faithful to the end.

Tommie is the one who proclaimed that he’s not eligible. The judge said, uh, not so fast.

And the ‘policy statement” was issued by a judge appointed by GHW Bush in 1991. Once again underlining the current reorganization of the American political landscape: You are either with us or agin’ us. (where “us” = neocon criminal hacks)

This one’s getting interesting.

Tom Delay heard ta say

“I’m fucked if I don’t and I’m fucked if I do- that’s a hell of a way ta play”!

re Schlesinger: this is getting funny now….

what are the odds?

*ilson -

Card counting. Which sounds like a ‘thought crime’ to me, having never been to a casino so I really don’t understand… But whatever!

How about Refund or Payback?

shoephone–whence your comment? Did Bill C dare to bash the blogs???

I feel a book coming . . .

Can Joe run as a real Republican this time?

OT…Boy, the shit is breaking loose fast and furious in and around Israel now. Was just surfing news items. Bad, bad, bad.

didn’t Delay go into court and insist endlessly that he was no longer a resident of Texas?

so how can he run? if he’s not a resident?

By keeping track of- for example- how many face cards have been played at a blackjack table- a gambler can improve his odds. Cardcounters are banned in casinos if “found out” (supposedly).

Hasn’t the deadline for him to declare as the Gooper he is passed (in May, maybe)?

Bobby G - it is very bad.

I don’t think the GOP candidate either being absent or irrelevant necessarily hurts HoJo (unfortunately).

With no one else to vote for, true red repugs would feel justified in voting for HoJo, who they love with all their hearts anyway.

Question is, would that plus the incumbent-lover crowds give him enough to win?

so I guess Bill Bennett wont be a consultant to the GOP in CT this election cycle?

Good thing we’ve got the road map- take out the roadmap- quick- LOOK AT THE FUCKIN ROADMAP–where the fuck ARE we? (crash)

I was talking to a lady in the office today about the Lamont RGJ race. She actually called Ned a

if Schlesinger drops out of the CT race and Urban takes the R nom, it seems that would leave Joe as the reddest candidate running (well, if he loses the primary and is actually able to collect up enough signatures)

lhp — I’m with egregious. When Joe Wilson says folks here in the blogosphere (hi, emptywheel, Jane, Christy, pollyusa!) know far more about this case than he does, they have to be watching us

Makes me wonder whether Novakula’s non-story was really an attempt to flush something out of US, a method to check to see how many of us knew the ID of the third/primary leaker?

And really, anybody with a handle ‘for God and Country’ in Latin must be suspect…don’t you think?

OldCoastie at 98: He did, but the judge saw through it and recognized that he’d only moved away so the GOP could nominate someone electable, and he could spend his campaign dough on legal expenses. He’s not ineligible because he could simply move back at any point before the election and be eligible again. (Also because he and his wife still own a house there in which they are frequently seen, even if he’s declared his suburban Virginia condo his “official” residence.)

Basically, the judge’s ruling is that you can’t go through the process of having a primary and then go through shenanigans like fleeing the state for no reason other than to switch to another candidate who you like better. It takes the decision away from the primary voters and puts it in the hands of the fatcat incumbent.

(Hey, lookee there! This ended up being on-topic after all! *g*)

Good card counters have to throw off surveillance by deliberately tanking hands (or betting small) where they could have won. Surveillance watches your betting patterns.
