Oh, you little bitch troll from hell!
Melanie Morgan, you are a crab louse on the body politic, a human canker sore on American journalism, a grasping, pathetic piece of filth. Not content with hysterically screeching for American journalists to be sent to the gas chamber, you have co-authored a "biography" (translation, "tawdry little hit-piece disguised as a book") of grieving war mother and political lightning rod Cindy Sheehan. In it, you and your co-author Catherine Moy resort to that most time-honored technique for the silencing of rebellious women.
You call her a slut.
But on today's Hannity and Colmes, for once in his life Alan Colmes didn't seem content to sit there doing his best Terri Schiavo impression (GASP!). From Hannity and Colmes via C&L:
Alan Colmes: Let me just say something, that I find the way you're going after Cindy Sheehan despicable.
What?! Hold the phone! Alan Colmes is actually standing up to a paid Reich Wing shill?
*faints dead away*
Apparently, Morgan and her co-author Catherine Moy (who resembles nothing so much as a peeled potato dressed in a black caftan)(miserable little turnip) are just as surprised by this sudden show of emotion from Mr. Lie-Down-and-Play-Dead Pox News Liberal as I was, because they just sit there looking at him like a couple of not-very-bright cocker spaniels hearing a high-pitched sound. It's like they're utterly bewildered, aghast that anyone would question their decision to invalidate Cindy Sheehan's message by calling her a scarlet whore, a filthy hussy, and…a porn-junkie.
SHOCK!! HORROR!!
Back to you, Alan:
Alan Colmes: Here's a woman who lost a son. Everybody grieves differently. In your book, for example, you talk about Cindy Sheehan having an affair with Lou Rockwell, you say she's addicted to online porn, which has nothing to do with anything as far as I'm concerned. You tie her to David Duke and the KKK and Hugo Chavez…
They were going to try and squeeze Susan Smith and Jeffrey Dahmer in there, too, Alan, but they came up hard against their deadline with the Reich Wing Press.
Alan Colmes: And I really think it's disgusting. I really think it's disgusting what you're doing in terms of talking about her being on line in chat rooms doing porn things or whatever, what does that have to do with anything?
To which Melanie "Little Trail of Cat-Sick" Morgan replies:
Melanie Morgan: I'll be happy to answer that, Alan, happy to. See, it is my single goal in life to become a bargain basement Ann Coulter, and I want to hit every sleazy stop on the way down. Ann beat me to the 9/11 widows, so I figured grabbing attention by attacking Cindy Sheehan was the next best thing. I couldn't actually accuse her of murdering her son for attention because she might sue me, so I just called her a dirty whore. Also, I'll never be as skinny as Ann Coulter, so I hired Catherine Moy here. I got her to do all the research and the bulk of the writing, but really I could have hired a secretary for that. Catherine's here to come on these shows with me and make me look thin!
If there's anything positive to be said here at all, it's that Morgan is lagging behind even Bill Frist in her GOP talking points. Cindy Sheehan was soooooooooo 2004. She's pretty much reached the end of her narrative arc in the public consciousness. If anything, American Mourning is a swift-boating attempt that left out the "swift" part. (A "slow-boating"?) Two years too late and completely irrelevant to our current political situation, this book is destined to sell even fewer copies than Kate O'Burnout's Women Who Threaten Me and Make Me Feel Unattractive.
Nonetheless, I urge you all to stop by and review Morgan and Moy's bitchy little slam book at your earliest convenience and leave us some juicy quotes from your reviews in tonight's comments. Oh, and extra special bonus snark points for the best new nickname for Melanie! Her career isn't going to last a whole lot longer, to be sure, so let's make sure to kick her as hard and often as we can while she's still around. Hooray!
(Really, this is the limit. Melanie Morgan? Pfffft. That bitch isn't just dead meat, she's carrion. Pure, reeking, fly-blown roadkill. Let's make sure her book turns out just like her!)

T-Rex!
ROWR!
[Mod Note; blatant blog whoring is frowned upon around the Lake.]
as usual, trex, you made me giggle really hard. thank you and bless you.
Go get’em T-Rex — I love it when you’re angry! Just so you’ll know, your last link goes to Ol’ 40 Grit’s book, not to the Morgan & Moy piece of trash. Nonetheless, some bad reviews have gotten there anyway — plus a few that smell of troll. Just sayin’. And Frist? Probably not.
nickname?
Melanomie
Melanie Whoregan?
bonkers @

Hee!
Media Whoregan
Whoregan and MoyToy: Together forever.
Kate O’Burnout! Love it!
Sigh.
I could hit this link over and over all night. Once again, Patsy Stone gives voice to my inner feelings in a way that I never could.
By the way, if any of you are up at 6:30am eastern, I will be a guest on “The Young Turks” tomorrow, talking about gay republicans.
‘Melanomie’ was almost there. How ’bout:
Melanoma Morgan & her amanuensis, Chancre Cathy.
Go T-Rex! I read your late night every night.
(de-lurking for a bit)
I love this bar…I mean blog.
hiya TRex,
before I go and indulge myself in some of those links you provided, I wanted to let you know that after reading your wonderful introduction of Rodriguez’s campaign last night, I sent him a small donation today, enough, I hope, to keep Robby in coffee for a day or two.
Am having alot of fun, parceling out the last of my contributions, mostly in $20s, so I’ve got about 15 more donations I can make this week.
Looks like I’m going to have to drive down to NM CD-1 to do some canvassing for Madrid, Udall doesn’t need any help, he’ll get 60% easily, and there’s a good shot that Madrid could beat Heather Wilson, an under-the-radar Bush enabler. If we don’t beat Wilson this cycle, there’s a good chance that Domenici will bequeath his Senator seat in ‘08 to Wilson, and then we’re stuck for decades with Wilson in the Senate.
Sigh.
OK, off for some fun and mind games…
There won’t be a second printing; the crayon broke.
Ruby Tuesday @ 15
HOORAY!! Thanks so much for getting involved RT! We’ve got many more stops to make on the USO tour before November 7th, so mind your saw-bucks!
melancholy Morgan, you know (head like a melon face like a collie) will be back in the trailer park in 3 weeks. If you bump into her at the unemployment line don’t offer more than 5 bucks. Oh, and keep your hands in your pockets or you’re going home broke.
TRex @ 12
Whenever I hear the words “gay republican” I think of hearing the gay a cappella group “The Flirtations” in concert years ago. They had a great re-write of “Mr. Sandman,” asking him to bring a man . . .
I’ll be fast asleep at 6:30 AM eastern time, but I can’t wait to hear how it went.
hanity had the nerve to call adult sex “innapropriate”
he actually tried to tie adult pronograpgy to foley’s child predator sex
me to me @ 20
Freakin’ Hannity, man. Somewhere in Iowa, a Pontiac dealership is missing its star salesman.
Evening TRex and gang… Just got here so gonna go read the post but I’ve missed everyone by under an hour each night for the last few nights and wanted to make sure I said hello.
Evening, Nate.
How come you haven’t answered my email yet?
The SF Chronicle Sunday Magazine had a big story on Melanie last Sunday. I think the headline writer has a wonderfully subtle sense of snark: Fanning the Flames.
So many ways to read those three words . . .
Peterr @

It makes me think about teenagers lighting their farts on fire.
Just sat down and got it and I’m literally typing on smallest, most ridculous excuse for a wireless keyboard while starting at the largest most ridiculous excuse for a monitor it has ever been my displeasure to try and compute upon. (54″in absurd LCD TV doubling as monitor)
I’ve got access to an office tonight a block away with a fast connection and my system for a few hours so I was going to respond then. Or like I’m doing now!
I like this new subtlety phase you’re in TRex.
I’m Sidney Blumenthal’s chauffer for the evening. He is signing books right now. This new treo is a great thing.
Man oh man, Just watched the clip you linked up.
Now that my kids are sleeping I can say this…
What a fucking FREAKSHOW! Those two are a psychiatrist’s wet dream. Those two nutjobs being on any major media outlet is a god damned disgrace and insult to all Americans. At least in that clip, Colmes never challenged the outrageous claim that Sheehan “is addicted to porn,” which gives the claim validity. Tool.
Any Republic Party people out there….do those two speak for you? Of course, we have this toad to thank for all this bullshit…
http://www.mediabistro.com/tvn…..july26.jpg
C’mon Repubs, it’s not so bad over here. You can join us and we’ll welcome you with open arms. Give it a try…vote for Democrats next month…you won’t regret it. Do you want to associate yourself with the people above, or these two proud liberals…

That’s only cuz he got the bill from the china shop he crashed day before yesterday!
Plus, Bob Hope used to come home worn out from his USO Trips. Maybe he’s just tired. :)
Hi TRex,
I really enjoyed last night’s post – it gave me a smile and reinforced the idea that we’re all together in this. I don’t have any 20’s to spare, but if so many other FDLers can sacrifice their money & time, surely I can conquer my phone-fear & spend some more evenings making calls for Jason Altmire here in PA-04. If Ned tFK is out there doing his bit to help find those missing car-keys – how could I look at myself in the mirror on 8th November if I’d done nothing for my party’s Congressional candidate?
TRex @ 21
HAHAHA!
TRex @ 21
LOL Stop it! I am telling you for the very last (and probably very first) time, you make me laugh too hard.
My dog was scared, poor baby.

nope.
Hannity’s No.2 Ho?
TRex:
your diatribe against Melanie Morgan’s book seems to be right on target, considering the pointless accusations against Cindy Sheehan. Even though I won’t buy the book (the stench from it would make my bookshelf inaccessible), I am still interested in how this book supports my theory that liberal bashers are mentally retarded.
Can you give us some passages that seem particulalry lacking in intelligence?
Anally Gored ‘Un.
Okay, got to run to the store and pick out some dinner and head home. You kids talk amongst yourselves. Here, I’ll pick a topic.
The Christian Right. Neither Christian nor Right.
Discuss.
Don’t know about all y’all, but the best, if not only, journalism I’ve seen outta CT has been Spazeman and CTBob. Bob even interviews the Republican with civility and genuine interest. So rarely see that anymore. Plus, the way they are politely yet strongly trying to get simple answers to very fair questions has been outstanding, all the while keeping the cameras rolling. As someone who works in the media, a big hats off to both of them.
I just hopefully paid for a tank of gas for Spazeman, and if you value their work, might want to consider helping these reporters out a little also…

Melanoma is not funny. At all. Not even remotely.
I had the honor of eating dinner with Cindy Sheehan last Saturday. My DFA group co-sponsored a “End the US Occupation of Iraq” rally Saturday. Col. Anne Wright, Cindy Sheehan, Tim Carpenter and Rev. Yearwood spoke.
Heart warming story by the Rev about how he met Cindy, it was a story that had her and myself shedding tears.
After the event we all went out to dinner. How anyone would say those evil things about Cindy is beyond me.
Somehow Melanie’s just deserts from her maker is not soon enough. If I had been there at that interview, I’d probably bitch slap her….. into the next world…
What I’d like to know is WHO IS BEHIND THIS , as if it wasn’t an obvious answer. Seriously though, how low can the Republicans and their apologists go?
I wish that every single Mother who has lost a child in Iraq walk to Washington and demand that immoral habitual lying fool to resign.
A President with a “C” average while his Dad was head of the CIA has got to be an idiot. How and Why the Fuck do people vote for these less than average corrupt &^%$# I’ll never know.
Sorry for the cursing but I’m a bit pissed off. Pissed off that people have the fucking audacity to write and have published books that attack a Mother who has lost her son.
kirk murphy @ 38
Ah, so I can assume you’re one, huh? C’mon, don’t you want to delve into their inner consciousness and see what makes them tick? Maybe you could help them see the light! It would sure be an interesting trip at least.
DespicaMo
Bonkers and Primordial Ooze are both spot on.
I don’t like the term “whore” used in Melanie’s new name. That implies she gets sex for free. Are you kidding? You really think she doesn’t have to pay someone to DO her?
And that sick shade of yellow for her hair — just like most of the RW females — weird, and worn to attract the little boys with no balls, and little girls with no self esteem.
Let’s see the GRAY, you old weirdo! Oh yeah — you are a right-winger — you cannot be honest.
Does this 2-bit skank really live in San Francisco? Hopefully some who cherish SF will drive her out of town … along with Michael Weiner Savage. (Is THAT who does her?)
and so it begins.
and the officers heard:
There must be terrorists among us. Why else would we have all these new laws and prisons and gestap – err – security forces?
Any guesses on October surprise arrests?
Abu Gonzales pulled a doozy of a presser on domestic Green Scare arrests on the day of the unofficial House hearings on (I think) the Plame treason.
I wonder how many domestic “terror cells” Rove/Cheney will see “discovered” before election day.
Shell @ 48
Well, I thought it was quite obvious…Whoregan and MoyToy do each other. Yes, like most Repubs, closeted homosexuals. I just speak the truth and some can’t handle it.
The great thing about Reich Wing books is they are just trailing off in quality and originality like, oh, I dunno, like the trail a slug leaves in the garden. It just gets worse and worse. Meanwhile, the progressive world produces book after book of thoughtful, factual, funny, insightful critical thinking. Gosh, and I wonder why lib sales are way up and GOP boot-licker sales are in the bargin basement? Duh!
If I may say this *one* more time: TRex, you sure can write. A pleasure to come by here at night, sir.
TRex @ 12
6:30am? You make funny joke. But I’ll check it out online later.
How about Melanine Morguehead since her head is a depository of dead thoughts.
Abu sure has been quiet recently…I don’t like that one bit.
I would call her
Melamine
according to wiki:
Melamine is produced from urea.
Melamine, dicyandiamide (or cyanoguanidine) and cyanamide are related.
And when in a foam formulation, can not be used as insulation, because it allows air to pass through its structure.
In other words, a pissy toxic airhead.
Suzanne @ 55
That’s brilliant!
“Smell-me” Morgan makes a week-old skunk roadkill positively aromatic.
With every book, a free gallon jug of “Eau du Polecat” by “Smell-me” Morgan. It will bring back those unforgettable memories of her life as a swabbie on a garbage scow.
Sure to be a hot-sellin’ hit on Reich-wing Radio! Git yers now before yuh pass out!
Melamine Whoregan – The Pissy Toxic Airhead! (can’t stop laughing…)
“With every book, a free gallon jug of “Eau du Polecat” by “Smell-me” Morgan. It will bring back those unforgettable memories of her life as a swabbie on a garbage scow.”
ROFL! Perfect, Mad Dogs!
Thanks, bonkers.

Thanks, but no. Destructive psychopaths are not on my itinerary list.
Blergh!
Suzanne @ 55
spew alert!
TRex @ 25
You mean only teenagers are allowed to do that? Oh oh.
I can see it already. A Pissy Toxic Airhead (in)action figure! A block of Melamine with a ratty old wig on top…
marksb @ 51
Also, lib books actually have to sell to be successful, whereas conservative books can get on the bestseller lists though bulk orders from right-wing billionaires as long as they spout the right ideology. So that wonderful free market isn’t going to make them get better.
OT: I finally got a letter back from John Warner in response to the thrashing I sent him about the Torture/Kangaroo Courts bill. I haven’t had the heart to read it yet, but I suppose it’s a souvenir to commemorate this appalling day.
thanks, kirk, i’ve never spewed a shrink before.
Suzanne @ 67
how do you feel about that?
OT … my boyfriend flew out this afternoon and received the TSA proctology exam … he asked the TSA person if they were sworn to uphold the constitution? The person was worried and called his supervisor (ah ohhhh) and they had a very detail discussion about the 4th amendment and unreasonable searches. The supervisor agreed and told my boyfriend that America needs a regime change. That searching bags for 4 oz of shampoo is not protecting America.
He has been asking this question as he travels across the country, he has received favorable responses from TSA and they expressed how disgusted they are about what they are required to do.
also OT – but good news.
An eleven point gain for Busby!

[political wire - 10/16/06]
T-Rex called and asked me a question today. I didn’t know that answer. Now I think I do: Senator Larry Craig.
I checked out amazon.com and the book is already steeply discounted. List price – $22, on sale for $13.
Remainder bin, here it comes.
Presented for your consideration:
Malady Morgan le Fey.
A sick witch.
Howie, are you going to share with us the question?
Because it wasn’t made obvious thus far, I believe this book, if one may grace it with that appelation, is published by none other than that august firm of longstanding erudition, WorldNetDaily Press….
If that’s not a threadkiller, nothing is. :)
Where’s Mr Rex?
Howie—yep, some of us also heard that earlier today.
TRex is heading home from work. He’ll be back with us soon.
Howie, he’s grocery shopping on his way home.
Howie Klein @ 76
Oh, it’s Mr. Rex now, is it?
RBG @ 78
Wait, he blogs at work? I hope he picked me up an application on the way out.
Well, he asked me who the other person the Page Board was looking into as a child molester. I figured it was Kolbe who IS a child molester. But now we are hearing that Larry Craig is not just a vicious homophobe but a gay vicious homophobe! I don’t know if he likes little boys or not. But it’s a line of thought
Morris Sheppard @ 80
Mr. Rex, SIR! to you.
What could be more vicious than taking away a child’s innocence?
Senator Craig has an (R) besides his name I hope.
anjinsan @ 81
You can come work for me and blog all you want.
Of course, given the nature of my business I can’t pay you anything. But we do have fun.
Suzanne @ 79:
This should answer your question.
Hey, Howie! Yes, I was hearing conflicting reports today about Craig and Kolbe.
Damn. It’s raining GOP faggots.
I’ll be staying inside, thank you.
Anyway, this guy is a little whacky but he never gets it wrong, If he says the senator from Idaho is a homo, the senator from Idaho is a homo.
Suzanne @ 85
not on Fox
Suzanne @ 85
Of course
TRex @ 83
Yes, Sir! That is Mr. Rex, Sir!
kirk murphy @ 70
GREAT NEWS!! This is convicted corruptee Duke Cunningham’s old district, which was won by Cunningham clone, Brian Bilbray, in a runoff a few months ago.
I was told three-or-four days ago that the Democratic Party has written Francine Busby off, but the Republicans are still pouring huge sums into this race. What do their guys know that ours don’t?
The Democratic strategists need to get a grip. When the tide is with you it pays to back the less-sure races. THINK!!

That sounds so… naughty
Gaaaaah. I just watched that interview again. I just want to smack those two women’s heads together like coconuts. How fucking dare they?
Morgan and Moy better pray to god that I don’t ever stumble across any dirt from their personal lives, because I will put that shit on a banner and tow it behind a small plane. I’ll hire sky-writers and shit. Put it on the big billboard at Times Square.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s that people like this have PLENTY of dirt in their lives.
TRex @ 97
You’re from the South–do it like they do there… just spraypaint it all over a few overpasses. :)
The overpass would be the billboard part of it.. But how about the plane and banner?
Oh, I know.. throw up the whip antenna on the 4-by and there goes the banner.
anjinsan @ 100
Banner? That’s what slow-moving freight trains are for…. :)
wow–linda tripp looks great after her extreme makeover.
What would it cost to get some of us on hannity and colmes? I mean, outspend those suckers and reclaim the airwaves?
Okay, you guys have to help me polish my one-liners for in the morning.
How about, “The Foley scandal is the worst thing to happen to gay republicans since the Martha Stewart version of ‘The Apprentice’ got cancelled.”?
BADA-CH!
I’ll be here all week!
anjinsan @ 103
Whatever it costs, I’ll bet you could raise it selling tickets for a boxing match between Hannity and Randi Rhodes. :)
OOoooooo Is there something about Martha I didn’t know?
anjinsan @ 106
Naw, just that she is the Second Coming to a certain species of buttoned-down anally retentive queer.
TRex @ 104
Or, the worst thing since Gannon/Guckert got thrown out of the White House….
TRex @ 104
The Repug closet…boy it sure is getting crowded in here!

Has any of the republican backlash affected Fox News ratings? There’s gotta be some kind of website out there that’ll tell me…

That would be an irresistible party to crash. I can see all those upturned rapturous faces.. Then, “Yo! What the fuck’s up! Y’all got any beer? I’m fresh out.”
If a 60 foot therapod wants to be called “Mr Rex” prudence dictates we obey (and who are we to argue with Prudence?)
I’m so sick of the right wing slime machine – a shower is needed every hour and we’re in drought down here. Clean all out on Nov 7. Had enough?

I mailed mine off today.
Twenty days left and I’m frustrated, and energized and tired like a lot of the rest of you. But anyone who is posting here and isn’t also contributing, volunteering or working for a progressive candidate whenever possible – or willing to show up on voting day as a poll watcher – should GTFO of here until sometime in the middle of November.

ET-
I appreciate where you’re coming from, but I feel the need to respectfully and politely tell you that that kind of statement about who should or shouldn’t be here is not yours to make. And I’m pretty sure Jane would back me up on that.
TRex @

Well, when someone says “Oh, he’s not gay, is he?” about Larry Craig or someone, just say
“Ohhhh, now… somebody just needs to turn the LIGHT ON in that CLOSET!!”
that always gets a laugh…
Well done TRex. I new you’d have a field day on this one. :-)
hi katymine,
Once, back in ‘97 or so, I flew back in to Boston from Italy by way of Munich. The Int’l arrivals area was under construction at the time, and 1 or 2 flights had arrived just prior to mine, the scene was packed w/ folks & fairly crazy, yet I remember the harried Customs officer who flipped thru my passport in that crowded queue. An older dude, w/ a knowing eye and a crusher’s physique.
He gave me a grin and said, “Welcome home.”
I was a longhair at the time, KO’d from hours of travelling, but used to & expecting a thorough bag-search on arrival. But that man read me ‘like a book’ as easily as he read the visas & stamps in my passport. His natural smile, his self-confidence in his role & his obvious sense of responsibility raised him high in my eye – here was a guy who’d likely seen the worst of the scene, knew his job & knew what he was about – but wasn’t cut off from his duty, or his human compassion. That ‘welcome home’ has stayed w/ me for a number of years.
John Amato @ 125
Thanks for pointing it out to me, Mr. Amato!
Muchas gracias.
Morganism
TRex…. I have a different take on what ET said… I get really pissed when someone starts with …… “THE DEMS are not doing XXX or NOT saying XXX”……. “Ya NEVER hear the DEM response in the media”……
I get in their face and say…..”IF you are not out there saying it or doing it…… YOU have no right to whine…..”
Get more cranky when I have been running on about 4 hrs sleep/day for weeks…. Not to speak for ET….. but if ya are not out making phone calls and knocking on doors and stuffing mailers or making buttons…… then…… then……. because there will be No cheese with your whining!
What’d I miss?
stibbert @ 127
I once came back from Central America with a fly rod case and a small suitcase (which was mostly full of bonefish flies and t-shirts.) I think the same guy waved me through customs with a “You catch anything?” and a smile.
Come to think of it, that was in ‘96….
Hmmmmmmmm….
TRex @ 124
Whatever, TRex. (big hug). I’ve trashed your house before, and I’m not trying to do that now, and I think you ARE (!) HST’s protoge, but 24/7 time is here.
Last night – Monday for those of you already Wednesdaying, I got called out by conservatives after a band practice at one of the colleges where I teach for saying the same. This is no day to blanch from being more livid and un-PC than Tom Paine. Our Republic is at stake.
Morgan le Feh
TRex-
I think ET was rallying the troops, not trying to run folks off.
Reread it from that perspective and it seems less like a missive and more like a cheer for all the good work that is being done….
My $.02.
that’s right…
they call me PREX, the THREAD KILLA….

Suzanne, it’s OK to say. There was really only one excellent nickname.
I just know that some people are coming here who are shy, or isolated, or haven’t made the leap to activism for whatever reasons and they’re welcome, too. Resistance is a state of mind. Everyone will be called upon to contribute in their way when their time is right. I don’t want to run anybody off. Today’s lurker is tomorrow’s commenter and the next day’s campaign volunteer. You just never know.
Damn I love this crowd… This place is a riot.
I keep imagining Martha Stewart Living coming out with a new GOP Closet Organizer.
Perfect this Halloween(election) season for all your skeleton and sexually repressed pedorast storage needs.Suzanne @ 137
Hi Suzanne.
I loved some of them. “Morganism” was pretty good. Almost has the feel and sound of it being its own affliction.
How are you doing?
And if you’re still here John Amato… An aloha to you as well paesan.
Ed*ard Teller @ 132
But, perhaps, after a hard, hard slog for a long time, getting one extra hour of sleep might make a big difference. For want of a nail, and all that. :)
I wish I had a candidate like Diane Benson to back where I am. Sadly, I do not. But, even she would not want you to kill yourself getting her elected.

* Politically, OBL and GWB are the greatest thing that ever happened to each other.
* Hand-outs to the rich, tax cuts for the rich, please explain the difference.
* We’re fighting to avoid “defeat” being GWB’s only legacy.
* Bush invaded Iraq to achive an objective that had already been achieved bloodlessly by Bill Clinton.
* Everyone in the Axis of Evil outsmarted Bush, except one, and he gave Bush credit for too much intelligence.
anjinsan @ #144,
I’m not complaining about anyone, and I love the humor and petulance at TRex’s house. But the other side is 25/8×2ing us.
When I was much younger I was a long-distance runner. My kids are now. I didn’t have a kick, so only won races consistently when I got way out ahead in the middle of the race, so they couldn’t catch me. We’re ahead, but these slimy weasels have two or three kicks which are coming our way between now and October 25. Then they’ll hit us with another one. WTFU.

thanks for a lovely time tonight reading so many good posts. There’s no way I can get up in time for Mr TRex’s appearance on the radio, one drawback of the mountain time zone.
With this ‘new revelation’ that another Republican might be a closeted gay homophobe who does all he can to attack the civil rights of gay people, I think there’s more Republicans in the closet than were in the closet with Tom Cruise on that banned South Park episode.
For those who don’t have a lot of cash right now, that’s ok, those of us who do will do what we can. You do what you can, help out a candidate, get a friend to the polls, volunteer locally in your spare time. I never had money to donate to candidates for decades. Now I do, but I never ever forget that there’s still too many people in this country who don’t have enough food to eat or even a decent place to live despite working full time. Maybe a Democratic Congress can start forcing thru some wage hikes and protect our jobs in fair global trade agreements. Then more folks would have a little extra at the end of the month.
Had One Of Those Days, never did get out to vote and see if I could work the polls, will try tomorrow morning before I get trapped into doing too many errands or some minor catastrophe bogs me down asit did today.
TRex, I’m saving 5 $20s for the candidates you feature on the USO tour. You are such a joy to read, I can say thank you right now by giving to candidates that you admire.
sweet dreams everyone! And tomorrow get out there and DO SOMETHING.

Am I alone in being underwhelmed by Colmes here.
I just watched the clip at C&L and my impression was that, after telling MM she was disgusting, he pitched to her in a very transparent way.
He didn’t addree the truth of any of her assertions, just the propriety of going after a mother who lost a son. Lies must be attacked first as lies, then as vicious, damned lies.
There are several reasons the comparison to Foley is odios, but the first has nothing to do with the persons, but that the facts do not match up.
The rightard logic is thus:
Mark Foley preyed on young boys and used IM for some of his cimmunication, subsequently checking himself into rehab implicitly blaming Demon Rum.
Cindy Sheehan has (i think) admitted addiction to alchohol and spending too much time on the internet talking with fans and followers of varios ages.
Not the same
Not even close
Unchallenged, one is left with the false argument that any two flawed persons are equally flawed.
Whew!
Wow! That was over way too quickly. Did anybody hear it?
TRex,
I did, and you were funny!
Good morning all –
Peace has escaped me after reading the vitriol spilled above. Ouch.
There is something a bit over the top in Trex’s attacks on marginal and rather unimportant women. Now who exactly wants to be the dime store Coulter?
But, setting that aside, I hope all good things for all good people today.
And especially nice thoughts for Tommy Yum and children and wife.
Margot @ 246
Thanks! I (literally) had just been awakened from a sound sleep. No time for coffee, just GO!
I could have stayed on all morning, though. It was kind of fun.
Mornin’, y’all.
Yeah, imm, I have to agree with you — although I always appreciate the TRex’s snarky style, perhaps it’d have been better to simply ignore those two; change the channel, so to speak.
On another note, this story — Judge Revokes Lay’s Conviction — seems to still be percolating. Speaking of coffee… *g*
I was startled while listening to Air America & trying to wake up until I can make coffee…no coffee before 6am for me…when who do I hear but the amazing Trex!
Great job!
Fish Guy Dave –
That revocation saves Lay’s heirs gazillions of dollars. Lay’s unexpected deaths was one of the most valuable in history….

Thanks! I felt like I kind of wandered a little bit, there. Not my most focused discourse on the topic.
I am prolly going to hang out for just a bit and then wander off to bed again. Two hours of sleep doesn’t really make for a happy TRex later in the day.
Good Morning all from wet and rainy eastern Maine. Nice to see you, Dairy, it’s been a while. I hope all is well with you and yours. Special greetings and prayers for Tommy Yum and Esten and the rest of the family. And my daily prayers that thoughts of peace and justice will motivate you in your activism throughout the day and that those same thoughts will become the norm throughout the peoples of this planet.

A Brave Conservative Exposes The GOP’s “Vulnerability Gap” On Terror
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…..rce=widget
Okay, I’ll lay off for a while. *g*
Good Morning, Firedogs,
[waves hello to the other usual earlier morning East Coast commenters “Hi OS, Imm,” and joins in the best wishes to Tommy Yum and Esten]. It’s warm and rainy here in central Jersey.
Looks like there may be collective snark, as well as wisdom, in hives. This place was certainly hopping with it in this late night thread.
Me, I’m still downhearted at the signing of the torture bill. I’ve read several very good posts about it, but just saw the photo of smiling faces with the Worst.President.Ever. during the ceremony, and wanted to retch. Someone, Digby, I think, pointed out the St. John McCain didn’t attend the ceremony. I don’t think it’s because he feels the way I do: ashamed of my country for having passed this law. Just another calculated step in his march to 2008. I’m saddened by how members of the media are still enamored of McCain, when he is just W.P.E.’s enabler.
I’m keeping my eyes on the prize, and will hold my nose to vote for Menendez, who voted for this abominable law, because taking the Senate is essential. But I am disgusted. This was a deal-breaker for Mr. NJP. He can’t bring himself to vote for Menendez.
Sorry for so much ranting so early in the morning.
Work for peace, every day.
OS,
I just read the HuffPo link. I commute to work on the Northeast Corridor [not to NYC anymore, tho’, only as far aw Newark]. A bomb exploding in the tunnel between NJ and NYC would collapse the NY-NJ economy. Well, a big welcome to Ervin, another former administration insider like O’Neill and Kuo, who has told the rest of us how the administration is playing the nation for fools, creating their own reality. I don’t think there’s much chance of the MSM picking it up, tho’. Too many editors will say, didn’t we just do that story with Kuo and the evangelicals. No reason to cover this Ervin’s book, too.
Hi NJ, blessings for a good day that begins with a rant!! OS
Ah, but what good rants they are!
Well Trex, I think you came up with her new name yourself
Bitch Troll from Hell Morgan (or BTFH Morgan)
The problem here is that it isn’t the same thing, and specifically that it attacks one of the basic planks on the GOP platform — if they don’t have domestic security, even they will admit that there’s not much left! No, the more likely reason for not picking it up in the MSM is that they like close races; too much more bad publicity such as this, and this election won’t be as tight as the press is hoping.
Old Sow @ 257
They will shut down the Internet as quickly as they can. They have been laying the ground work by talking about how terrorists like to blog.
Mark my words, we are a bigger threat to BushCo than we imagine. I think they will clearly shut down this avenue of free speech as quickly as possible – somehow using the Millitary Commissions Act as justification.
Mornin’ all. Another rainy day in eastern PA. I feel so much better now that Darth Cheney has reassured me that the situation in Iraq is going remarkably well.
Just saw Mike Huckabee on Imus, and he’s mostly a likeable person, the kind of old-style Republican that Democrats used to be able to talk to in politics. But one thing hit my hot button.
His repetition of the meme “everybody thought there were weapons of mass destruction.” WRONG! That’s not true and it’s taken on truthiness status because the Bush crowd had been repeating it so long. EVERYBODY didn’t go along with this Iraq invasion. That’s on Bush and his neocon dark side.
Until traditional Republicans look in the mirror and acknowledge that they have been the wimps within the Republican party who’ve allowed this bunch of corrupt, war profiteering, fanatical thugs to hijack their own party, they have no cred with me to criticize Dems.
Imus incidentally said he wanted to change his voter registration from Republican to Independent. Huckabee noted the party was losing lots of people….
re “how low can they go?” 600,000 more or less, and counting. What’s one trashed mom in the scheme of things.
njprogressive @

It’s amazing how people who know better participated in the drafting of this bill and voted for it.
On my drive home last evening, I heard someone, probably Randi Rhodes, quote Alren Specter to the effect that when he voted for this bill, he knew it would probably be declared unconstitutional. So there was a man sworn to uphold the Constitution, the head of the U.S. Senate’s Judiciary Committee, voting in favor of bill he knew to be unconstitutional!
McCain is simply stupid. He thinks he can have it both ways, i.e., we can outlaw torture, pretty much, and still have it around “when necessary.” And, by the way, we can also protect torturers provided that they do their work in good faith.
The poor guy probably got hit in the head too many times while he was a guest at the Hanoi Hilton.
I just now read this headline on a Reuters article: “Rice seeks to temper fears of Asian arms race”. What does that mean? Certainly an Asian arms race is something worthy of fear. Will the world somehow be a safer place or U.S. interests better protected if those fears are “tempered”?
FishGuyDave @ 266
FGD,
I agree that the MSM loves horseraces. Mr. NJP was a journalist before becoming a policy wonk, and we’ve had long conversations about the herd mentality of most journalists. A horserace is an easier story to write than to actually analyze positions on issues. It’s easier to cover an event like a debate, when a journalist can write about the “gotcha” moments.
But I’d like to see Ervin’s book covered by MSM for precisely the reasons that you mention: it exposes the criminal neglect of real security by BushCo’s cronies at DHS. I’m just not sanguine that they’ll do it.
You should all try to catch some of the remaining YouTube videos of the explosions in Iraq yesterday. There’s a clip taken by a marine that is astonishing. At least four or five huge mushroom cloud explosions.
There must have been many killed or wounded – and yet they are saying no injuries.
Lie, Lie, Lie
njprogressive @
273
Ever since the days of the Vietnam war, I’ve been fascinated by that herd mentality.
It seems to be that MSM are every bit as compliant as were Pravada and Tass. But MSM are ten times as dangerous, since the citizens of the Soviet Union knew that Pravda and Tass were compliant.
The horror of the MSM is that even the participants don’t recognize their compliance. They school like fish. But every fish in a school can claim to be perfectly free to swim wherever he pleases. But particpants in the MSM don’t even recognize that they are schooling. And they honestly think that they are liberal and giving the news a liberal bias. It’s some of the most amazing self-deception I’ve ever witnessed. And it’s hurting America.
Who’d have thought that a series of tubes could be so dangerous?
COming up this Sunday – Rice and Cheney will go public with the CIA
propagandaanalysis that the tubes can only be used for one thing – nuclear war. Anyone having the tubes must be Iraqed. Only then, will the world be safe for Rice to prop up her Ferragamos and have a Starbucks.Wigwam,
I only read newspapers [NY Times daily delivery, read selected articles on line from WaPo, LAT, Phila Inq when I’m visiting my sister in south Jersey]. We don’t have cable, and about 3 weeks after 9-11 we turned the idiot box off for good. We only use our television for watching DVDs. All of the sturm-und-drang over Tweety, O’Lielly, et al., I just chuckle and say that turning off the tube was one of the best decisions we could have made.
Not that I’m unhappy with how folks here, at Media Matters, and other places in the left blogosphere are pushing back and exposing the lies and hackery. I’m just grateful to have not seen any of those rightwing nutjobs endlessly parroting the Administration’s talking points. Many thanks to the fortitude of those that do watch and point out the lies. You have a stronger stomach than I do.
Quick, check out the image I added at the book’s Amazon site, before it gets deleted.

Why do I have a sense of deja vu about all that?
So we should not be surprised if the toobz suddenly went dark two weeks before the election and the BushCo’s go on the MSM with big croco-tears to lament the terra-ist act that stopped the net? But don’ worry, they’ll have it properly back up and runnin’…their way…right after the election….

Actually, I was referring to Sen. Stevens’ description of the internet, but the snark is still appreciated. Makes me wonder, though: is “Iraqed” the new “FUBAR”?
I didn’t realize Clark Kent Ervin had a book out – that will be interesting. He may get some press bc he has been used as a source and info guy on at least one of the 24 hour shows (must be MSNBC or CNN – I never watch Fox) especially during the Dubai ports deal.
Seemed like a solid guy and upfront about port security issues.

Mornin’ All,
a little catch up -
Clark Kent Ervin – believe his book came out right around the time of 9/11 5 yr anniv. – he made the bobblehead rounds including a stint on Maher’s panel and of course Keith
Ammo Dump – even a so-called battlefield nuke would have put out that fire immediately – I’m thinking it was jet and or helicopter fuel – it is spectactular footage – but even an official blackout on news of fatalities would have failed – soldies talk too
Huckabee – I concur w/ Rayne – a dangerous guy – and increasingly attractive
in the wake of Macaca and Romney’s “troubles”
oh and f’
SkeletorJerkoff – not a single port, nuke facility, chemical plant, or proving ground locked up in 5 years and that f-wad wants to warn about the toobz – typical bs from these cretins – am comforted knowing the prevailing CW is all about their incompetence and scare tacticsyeah, I know, EPU
yes, I’ve been hearing that “terrists use the toobz” meme now for about a month or so… very troubling and I’m wondering when they will shut the whole thing…
yesterday’s signing of the torture bill felt… horrific… I was hopin’ chimpy would fall off his bicycle, give himself a good whack in the head and forget to sign it but apparently that was not to be…
(sigh)
I just heard on the radio that some second in command to al-Sadr was captured yesterday under sus[icionof engineering insurgent attacks. Maliki let him free. US Army is PISSED. Sheesh!
Ridiculous. Read the transcripts TRex. Colmes consistently asks terrific questions. His problem is
a) The repubs usually NEVER answer his questions
b) Mr Obnoxious bails them out
c) Mr Obnoxious and Repub guests gang up to buffalo the guy.
He doesn’t let it slide its just that its hard to be heard over the Fox wurlitzer.
TRex, I missed your on-air piece–I didn’t know you were on. Even if I had, though, I’d have needed a headset to make out what you were saying: school mornings represent at least a few of the circles of Hell in this house.
I loved this.
I just went to Amazon and left a little present for Melanie and Catherine. Hope they enjoy it! It’s just too bad you can’t give a book zero stars, but there you have it.
Ms. Morgan used to be a weathercaster at KGO radio in San Francisco. This is a talk-radio show. She obviously got tired of being a “weather girl,” and somehow found a way to get on the air.
Her market niche had to be the dark side, as the bright side is well-covered. Thus her “career,” or chance for 15 minutes of fame ( salary), came at the expense of turning herself into an ass. She’s simply another Coulter-like media blonde with a nasty mouth. Poor woman.
Dear Trex,
I freaking love you. You are the greatest.
Prairie Sunshine @
279
Yeah.
…
“…Melanie Morgan? Pfffft. That bitch isn’t just dead meat, she’s carrion. Pure, reeking, fly-blown roadkill.”
Aw, c’mon – We all know U toned it down for publication…what r ur true inner feelings?
lol
TRex,
Why did you publish such a flattering photo of Ms. Morgan? Couldn’t you have found one that didn’t come from her portfolio at “Celebrity Shots” or “Star Quality Photos?”
Is there a layer of irony that I’m missing here? You think that these women use inappropriate pejorative terms (true), so you do the exact same thing? Is that supposed to be clever?
DAMN, GIRL! You took out the front axel when you rolled the bus over her raggedy ass. Left the mother of all skid mark, to boot!
