Login HereI just love watching Barney Frank take Patrick McHenry (R-Hostel for Strapping Young Republican Lads) to school on what is and what is not a parliamentary inquiry. This is a man who enjoys his work on the Speaker's dais entirely too much for his own good. What a wonderful Congressman he is.
This is the kind of Friend of Dorothy America needs in our People's House. More and Better Democrats, please!

Done!
i’ll say it again:
We have not yet begun to fight.
We will fight them on the land.
We will fight them at sea.
We will fight them in the air.
We will fight them on the cable.
We will fight them on the airwaves.
We will fight them at the newsstands.
We will fight them in the grocery stores.
We will fight them through the innertoobz.
We will fight them in cyberspace.
We will never surrender.
Barney rocks.

And lest we forget:
“The only thing we have to fear is … fear itself.”
Patrick McHenry (R-Hostel for Strapping Young Republican Lads) — Teddy, that is priceless *g*
I watch this video and just have the sense that every time Barney speaks, in his Wonderful Out Gayness, he ends each sentence to little Patrick McHenry, the Baby of the House, with the phrase, “you closeted weasel.”
But that’s just me.
Fewer and better rules in the Senate! This stuff is crazy-making.
If Barney had received the Speaker’s gavel, I’m sure we’d be knee deep in impeachment proceedings by now…!!!

Oh, it is, but it’s not mine — it’s the General’s! Please to click.
TeddySanFran @ 16
I like it. It’s like reading the message in the fortune cookie and adding “in bed tonight.”
Teddy, Mon General wrote quite the manly letter iirc on the Strapping Young Republican Lads.
And of course, he correctly predicted a couple of months ago that the so-called “moderate” Republicans could not be counted on to actually follow through in their votes. (Not about the war votes specifically, but the fact that they never do.)
TeddySanFran @ 16
Went looking for a picture of the weasels from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but I found this, which seems so much more appropriate.
burnspbesq @ 14
More and better democrats, democrats worthy of their base and worthy of their electorate. By God, these fuckers will work for us, or we’ll find new fuckers. (So to speak.)
burns, there is more wrong there than i can even imagine
Point of odor: Republicans stink
I love, love, love Barney Frank.
I can hardly wait for that little twerp to get outed.
TeddySanFran @ 25
I kinda thought you’d like it.
burnspbesq @ 23
i get the feeling that burns keeps his nsa handlers scrambling most of the time trying to figure out which little hole to plug him into….
Has anyone been watching the PBS series called “The War”?
I came home from my Sunday run of errands and it had already started. watched it and then the beginning… My father fought on Tarawa, my father survived the fighting, one of 11 of his battalion which survived the second wave of Marines. It was hard watching this… knowing my sweet loving Dad, who I know has this underlying steal. He would never talk about his experiences and it was when I was mid 20’s that I found out anything.
Alicia @ 27
I wonder if the next Preznit will find a place for Barney in the Cabinet, or in some wonderful Embassy. Seems to me he’s terribly underutilized.
Perhaps when we open an Embassy in Tehran again, he could head it up.
OT
Now I can sleep easy tonight.
Blackwater is going into the “drug interdiction” business.

Maybe the first President Bush can advise them.
From George Bush: the Unauthorized Biography:
http://www.tarpley.net/bush20.htm
George H. W. Bush has never been held accountable for his spectacular failure as an anti-drug fighter in the 80’s. Indeed, many of the people who worked under Bush in the “contra-supply” operations of the 80’s were barred from entering Costa Rica for a time because they were involved in cocaine smuggling.
http://www.fair.org/extra/8910/north-banned.html
And are we to believe that Blackwater is anything other than a narcotics smuggling ring operating under the color of authority?
SeamusD @ 28
Hmmm. McHenry. Wasn’t he one of the tragic characters in a Shakespeare play?
SeamusD @ 28
… patiently tapping foot …
hey katymine, the mod squad is planning on watching when our shift is over
wigwam @ 24
There it is, our mission statement. Thirteen words long, each word glorious.
hi katymine, check out this link from Sunday’s WaPo — an interview with a WWII fighter pilot. Very touching as this hero looks back on his experience.
TeddySanFran @ 35

I love Barney. Do you think that Stupid Girls vid will end up on MSNBC tomorrow afternoon???? Maybe David Shuster will pick it up and give it some air time. I think it is perfect revenge. They’re all turning into hojoes, HA!
hi katymine! we sort of agreed on the previous thread that there wouldn’t be any War spoilers, since many of the mods have their tivos set to watch later.
but that is fascinating about your dad.
katymine @ 31
Uhoh, at Suz’s behest I’ve refrained from talking about it… 8-)
Suzanne @ 30
Just tryin’ to scramble their heads to the same extent that they scrambled poor Jose Padilla’s.
burnspbesq @ 37
hmmmm, we are actually working on a mission statement at work…might try to insert this into the next meeting *g*
TeddySanFran @ 32
WOuldn’t that be great? He really is a national treasure as far as I’m concerned. But he’s a pretty effective congressman, too!
Hey, katymine!
lolo @ 40
It’s pretty clear from some Countdown pickups that there’s some MSNBC monitoring hereabouts, at least to me. I wish I had an in with David Shuster, so I could tell him about it, but alas…
burnspbesq @ 23
oh dear
lolo, it could have been badgers
burnspbesq @ 37
And short enough for everyone to quickly memorize. I love it!
Suzanne @ 49
or ferrets
LoudounLib @ 12
we tip the yellowdog sombrero to John Paul Jones
and to
Sir Winston Churchill.
We will fight them on the beaches.
at about 9:00 minutes in.
Cliff Varnell @ 33
A very good friend of mine (head of the north county SD teachers union) tells me that the first public schools of the modern type were started under Frederick the Great. He had a peace-time army sitting around idle, and an idle army is a very dangerous thing. So, he put them to work teaching kids. Reckon we can make school marms our of all those bad-ass black-water warriors?
badgers??
Maybe all the Blackwater warriors could go stay at Patrick McHenry’s.
burnspbesq @ 14
well, yes.
but we are brave enough to be afraid.
Suz, I’d left you a note at #334, last thread, about my trip
So, wigwam, you live in North San Diego County?
Suzanne, I am still crying. Watching the Guadalcanal canal battle knowing that Tarawa was just as bad if not worse. My father talks about his trip to Hawaii on the Queen Mary and how much he hated Hawaii. I am sure that it is due to military hospitals and his injuries. Injuries that still plague his life, cause an eventual fractured hip and continues to be deaf in one ear from the grenade that caused it all.
My mother was a member of the WAVES [Navy} and her brother was an Army Aircorp pilot who went on to fight in 3 wars [WWII, Korea & Vietnam]. My grandmother was Rosie the riveter in Flint MI. My mother was stationed on Treasure Island in CA SF Bay as a purser for the wester fleet.
{{{ katymine }}} thank you for sharing your parents’ stories.
Incidentally, BlueAmerica is at $95,918 right now.
I am posting this for all those wealthy early rising folk who drop by Late Late Nite before Scarecrow gets the morning shift cranked up. It sure will be exciting to see us cross $100,000! Whose donation will cross the one-hundred-kay mark?
LoudounLib @ 57
i saw - scotland - i am so jealous
Wow, katymine. You have a family of Patriots. Congratulations!
Hope you are feeling okay after your exercise. I can only imagine what it must be like…
TeddySanFran @ 61
can we raise a wee bit less than 5K before dawn?
TeddySanFran @ 61
I’m making a note to pony up some dough to Blue America in the morning.

can we raise a wee bit less than 4K before dawn?
TeddySanFran @ 69
Can I make a pledge and have them send me a reminder, or do I have to put my plastic where my mouth is immediately?
we are kinda hoping for a before scarecrow gets in here in a little less than 6 hours, burns
Not from me… I blew through a bottle of Italian wine this evening…. Hey… I survived no alcohol for over 10 days and Doctors telling me tests results. Not sober enough to fill anything out but will hit the page tomorrow.
This is right out of Alice in Wonderland……
Barney Frank IS the Mad Hatter.
Quite the tea party….
Well, I’m sure all those working people who check in at dawn will have some spare change lying around to put BlueAmerica over the $100,000 mark.
Won’t that be a wonderful way to start the week?! Especially since all our candidates are looking for a boost, this being the last week of the quarterly reporting period.
What is about parlimentary, does this fucking stupid fuck not understand.
And what the hell is with ‘American Samao’ too, BTW? Why the interest there?
Other than all that, Barney Frank is just the man to put this lil weasel in place.

I gave all I can give this month to MoveOn. So many causes, so little money…
Loo Hoo. @ 78
I’m tempted to buy lottery tickets and submit them as gifts.
How about
i’ll say it again:
We have not yet begun to fight.
We will cream them on the land.
We will steam them at sea.
We will deflate them in the air.
We will vibrate them off the cable.
We will electrify them off the airwaves.
We will bury them at the newsstands.
We will replace them in the grocery stores.
We will convict them through the innertoobz.
We will always beat them to the next electron in cyberspace.
We will eventually prevail.
I understand, katymine :0
woohoo, ll
loohoo, so many have given so much already this week
if my clients would ever pay me I might be in a position to chip in…
if my little cottage by the creek in the redwoods would sell, i could chip in more than just my time
Its those keystone republicans that are dragging congressional poll rating into the mud. Look at those fumbling, bumbling idiots. Just look at them!
punaise @ 82
Man, do I hear that!
Did not mean to do a driveby but going to bed… Love ya all… Night Teddy * and {{{TSF}}} an you too Suzanne.
Lordy … {{{{{everyone at FDL}}}}} you are a great bunch of people…..
My finite, fixed income precludes any spare change from this end… Sorry… 8-(
g’nite katymine - you should sleep well with that bottle of Italian wine in ya :)
interesting though depressing angle from la Digby:
newtonusr @ 85
What kind of clients do you guys have? I didn’t mean WHAT KIND, I meant, well, you know.
It’s true that I’m on vacay now, but I put 3 hours of overtime in for an online training session and 1 hour overtime for a teleconference meeting for Monday, so I need to split. Glad I could give what I could to BlueAmerica.
Good night all!
Night, katymine. Have a good sleep.
Nite, LL!!!
CTuttle @ 93
Likewise, have a wonderful vacation!
I’m in. Who’s next?
punaise @ 89
the dems WILL hear the cry (courtesy of wigwam) of By God, these fuckers will work for us, or we’ll find new fuckers.
Oh I forgot the funny thing I was going to tell ya… Was at Trader Joe’s and looking for my favorite Malbec red wine and were looking through the “featured” bottles.
There was a box of Shiraz bottles with one bottle with the label upsidedown. I just started cracking up, almost bought the bottle but decided that I would never drink it. How can you drink it because it was a novelty. As I am waiting in checkout… I see person after person see that single bottle with the upsidedown label.
Loo Hoo. @ 90
Mostly humans, with the occasional Gooper.
You pun?
Loo Hoo. @ 90
the kind who occasionally ignore “30 days net”
burnspbesq @ 95
see me @77
$ 96,338 now.
I really wasn’t pushing for tonite, because I know people have given so much to our candidates and to MoveOn this week, but it looks like we are moving the needle anyway.
Way to go, NitePups!
burnspbesq @ 95
yeah burns - what was the total when you were there? (unclamping burns doll’s wallet from vise)
katymine @ 97
from ther land of Down Under, IIRC - thus the cute gimmick
No, newtonusr, I meant what kind of work do you do…por eso, what kind of clients?
katymine @ 97
Somebody will drink it…!!! ;-)
newtonusr @ 98
homeowners, primarily (architectural services).
ok, I’m out for realz.
