“the dude is still fourteen years old mentally and still determined to act like a little punk”.

Fourteen? You give him too much credit. More like eleven and torturing up people instead of frogs.

Bush will stand by Gonzo as long as he can because any replacement who has to get through the Judiciary Committee with the dems in charge might turn over the rock they’ve been hiding under.

Look, if you went to a prep school and graduated with a d average and got into Yale anyway and you went to Yale, never did any work, got as d/c- average and got into Harvard Business School anyway and then failed in business and got elected Governor anyway (and in between avoided going to Nam) and then got elected President (beating two real flakes who did go to Nam) and you were a drunk until your mid thirties, I think, if you are a dumb fuck, you think you are not that dumb, you even think that you made the world work for you until it doesn’t work for you. And that is what is happening now. The world is going to see that little spoiled brat unravel. But I have no hope for those who limit the playing field to the Gore and the Clintons of this world. They are the reason we have Bush.

They’re Justified, and they’re Ancient,
And they like to roam the land.
(just roll it from the top)
They’re Justified, and they’re Ancient,
I hope you understand.
(to the bridge, to the bridge, to the bridge now)
They called me up in Tennessee
They said “Tammy, stand by the JAMs”
But if you don’t like what they’re going to do,
You better not stop them ’cause they’re coming through
(bring the beat back)

(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)
(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)

Mu Mu Land
Mu Mu Land
All bound for Mu Mu Land

They’re Justified, and they’re Ancient,
And they drive an ice cream van.
(just roll it from the top)
They’re Justified and they’re Ancient,
With still no master plan.
(to the bridge, to the bridge, to the bridge now)
The last train left an hour ago,
They were singing “All aboard”
All bound for Mu Mu Land,
Then someone starting screaming “Turn up the Strobe”
(bring the beat back)

(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)
(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (ancients of mu mu)

Rap:
Justified and Ancient, Ancient and a-justified,
Rocking to the rhythm in their ice-cream van
with the plan and the key to
enter into Mu Mu
Vibes from the tribes of the JAMs.

I know where the beat is at,
‘cos I know what time it is.
Bring home a dime,
Make mine a “99″

New style, meanwhile, always on a mission while
Fishing in the rivers of life
Fishing in the rivers of life (hoi!)
Fishing in the rivers of life (hoi!)
Fishing in the rivers
Fishing in the rivers
Fishing in the rivers of life (hoi!)

Voo-va-voolie
Za-shi-va-zom
Voo-va-voolie

(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)
(Hey hey)
All bound for Mu Mu Land (justified!)

Mu Mu Land (ancients of mu mu)

All bound for Mu Mu Land

Mu Mu Land (ancients of mu mu)
Mu Mu Land (ancients of mu mu)
All bound for Mu Mu Land

What seats do people think are most vulnerable because of all this shit, taken together? How many seats is it reasonable to expect may be seriously at risk because of this stuff?

Anyone have thoughts?

“Conservative” is the new “Liberal.”

As in, remember when “Liberal” was the all-purpose epithet of the crackpot Right? Like,you didn’t know exactly what it meant, but you knew it was bad?

Conservatives have been proudly calling themselves “Conservative” for years, as if the label itself was something holy & conferred virtue on anyone who wore it. (Sort of like someone who’d look you in the eye and say, “I’m a Person of Faith,” and you just knew they thought they were Sanctified, and almost too holy to be talking to the likes of YOU)…

My point is that Mr. & Mrs. America have been watching the label “conservative” being attached to all sorts of corruptions, depradations, self-dealing politicians, greedy impulses, crony cartels, policies that lead to non-functional government, for several months now.

So let the hearings continue! More! More! Expose them all! Because mark my words, Conservative is becoming the new ‘Liberal!’

Just got to reading your post, and I must say, you’ve gotten exactly right! No doubt about it.

If the Republics want any chance at all in ‘08 they should loose the ballast now. But, don’t tell them I said that. I would just as soon they cling to the Decider and his baggage for the long term. Then the party will see its biggest fall in its history. No tears here if that should happen.

Thanks for an excellent synopsis of the current goings-on. PEACE.

I imagine, for Republicans in DC, this must be like the moments before an accident – everything is moving, in slow motion, towards its inexorable end, which will involve the decimation of the Republican Party, and, sadly, serious damage to this country as well.

Bush looked good at 2AM with the GOP Congress beer goggles and the Oversight lights down low – now it’s a bright and sunny morning and all that’s left is the hangover and blood tests.

Penicillin, anyone?

The damage has already been done to the country. And frankly, I could not care less if the Republic party is so destroyed they go the way of the Whigs.

It will be necessary to put a stake in the heart of the Republican Party to make sure it does not rise from the dead. Democrats in Congress and around the nation need to take off the gloves and step by step expose the Republican’s for the criminals and traitors they are and will always be if given the chance.

I agree that impeachment is the remedy. At this point it’s not about punishment, it’s about setting a marker about what will not be tolerated.

My only worry is that the Dems don’t have the stomach for it. Just getting rid of Gonzales won’t undo the politicalization of the supposedly non-partisan career side of the Justice Department.

If the Congress allows this politicalization of the Justice Department to stand then what separates the United States from Putin’s Russian system of political justice?
