Brisingamen @ 3

Called both my Congresswoman’s office and the Speaker’s office asking that impeachment be put back on the table in light of the torture actively promoted by this mal-Administration…

Nancy doesn’t do impeachment. It’s just rude.

We know there’s some spending bills to prepare and some senate work of various kinds, but sometime soon there has to be some thought given to rescuing the boat which is sinking all around us.

who are these guys, I feel like Rip Van Winkle, I woke up and everything was backwards, maybe we ought to walk backwards so they can get a better bead on the asses they so want to serve us on a paper plate.

Nothing intelligent came to mind, if there ever was any.

This would be the same “conscientious objector” from Vietnam. In other words, another chickenhawk.

Blackwater is merely the military arm of the Republican Party. The enforcers. The CEO is a right wing ideologue whose family has contributed significantly to the Party. They merely wait for their marching orders once the details of the contract have been worked out. Being good Republicans never forget the power of the profit motive. Blackwater is to the Republican Party what Ernst Rohm’s Brown Shirts where to the Nazi Party. To think otherwise is naive. Hitler eliminated the Brown Shirts on the “Night of the Long Knives” only after they had insured his eventual consolidation of state power and they were no longer needed. The threat of Nazism was only eliminated after the total defeat of Germany and the subsequent verdicts at Nuremburg that had party officials swinging at the end of a rope. What will end the threat of America’s slow slide to fascism?

See this awesome article about Blackwater, Hillary’s pollster, and John Edwards:

It links to lots of great sites; it’s titled “Edwards is on the Hunt…Bites Mark Penn,” by Cosbo.

Wow!! thank you fdoglake, my favorite blog of them all.

so — chairman waxman has called condi
on all of this — time to account:

despite supposedly installing
a “firewall” to prevent the re-hire of con-
tractors fired for misconduct — perhaps one of
the most egregiously “rogue” blackwater
contractors was rehired, by another security firm,
only two months after he allegedly murdered a
guard for the iraqi vice president, on christmas
eve 2006. clearly, erik prince was either lying
on tuesday, or woefully unprepared for his testimony.

and condoleezza rice, herself, as secretary of
state, should answer for this level of bureaucratic
incompetence — lethal incompetence, in fact. rep.
waxman is precisely correct to hold her accountable. . .

oldtree @ 1

you just put it so damn well!

Sure would be nice to; have someone run against Shays that we have heard of, for instance Mayor Dan Malloy of Stamford.
