JK from NJ

Actually, it’s more like his Idiocy, his Hypocrisy, his Cowardice, his lack of morals, his incompetence, his Cronyism, his Racial Stereotyping, his nepotism, his discrimination, his ignoring of the Constitution, his alcohol and drug addled brain, his false faith etc etc etc…..

Then to see his this complete foolish cliche at the correspondents diner I thought immediately that KKKarl has just jumped the shark.

Or on this case I guess you would call it jump the snark!!!!

If he were a leader he would be going through Walter Reed without cameras, demanding answers about the deplorable conditions there, screaming for funds to rectify the wrongs and getting it done now.

But all this petty man can do is think of himself and how he looks to the cameras.

Great post Watertiger

This is a scandal about government-run health care.

Actually catron/”blog archive” folks, Walter Reed’s maintenance melt-down reflects the usual megacorp greed cloaked in the tired old “privatization” lie.

The private firms jstling for the public dollars knocked free by BushBots for “privatization” included a Halliburton spin-off.

They and some other vamipers fought over the contract. If either group of thieves cared, they could have eneded the contact fight by bowing out and letting their opponent “help” the troops.

Of course, privatized Halliburton water for our troops in Iraq gave them worms and shit. Privatized Blackwater “logistics” gave teh Fallujah nightmares.

And privatized health insurance rakes forty percent off the top and tries to kill off as many people as possible while the insurance CEO’s pocket hundred million buyout bonuses.

The years since 1980 have been about the scandal of a public trust – the US Government and all Federal programs for our health defense and well-being looted by megacorps, abetted by slavering Goopers spouted “supply-side” “trickle-down” and any other lie that kept the bribes coming.

We’ve woken up to what has been under our noses since 1980.

The debased “free-market” fetish is dead, purulent, fly-blown – and OVER.

Those who love it can take it home to whatever ancestral pool of greed and atavistic privilege they fetched it out of en route to the U of Chicago econ department.

Oh – Ayn Rand is dead, too. While she lived, she was an amoral social parasite who systematically expolited those who loved her.

Perfect moral preparation to be the patron saint of privatization and the “self-sufficient” myths required to justify sacrifice of our society to the megacorps’ cult of greed.

She’s a lousy writer, too.

I’ve read PDR’s with more life than her characters.

Unlike Rand’s cut-outs, we’ve got real lives –

and forty years of free-market pirates’ global plunder to set right.

We’ve no time for the megacorp vampires and their dessicated lies.

Or those who still spread those lies.

Their long wars and apologia for feral greed have failed, and the few proponents are pitifully exposed.

The billions upon billions spent to obscure them have not concealed global warming.

The planet may forgive them – but will always recognize them.

Their coup has failed – and they’re attracting flies.

Past time for them to go – and we’re already prying their contracted dead tendons off of our public health and civil society.

They lost in Paris with the MAI, they lost Seattle and Cancun with the WTO, they lost in Cochabamba and they are losing in the Beltway as I write.

Enjoy the show, catron.

We in the global social justice movement sure are.

I believe Watetiger’s post is about Bush manipulating and staging his pathetic snow-blind response to the situation.

I’m wondering if those stares that Meir’s and Gonzo gave when it was suggested that Fitzpatrick be placed on the list of those to fire were “WELL…of course! Get with it! Whattya think this is all about!” stares…rather than “Are you nuts stares”.

I just don’t buy (and neither did Specter, if I remember right) that this idea was floated by Sampson and rejected out of hand by “cooler heads”.
This in the WaPo today:

House and Senate staffers conducted their first in a series of private interviews yesterday with a top Justice aide, Michael Elston, who is chief of staff to Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty.

Under the agreement for the interviews, congressional staff members refused to divulge what was said at the meeting, which lasted about 5 1/2 hours and was held in the offices of the House Judiciary Committee.

Elston was apparently lawyered up, and they are seeking the same arrangement for Monica, et al. My only question is: are they under oath?
