Cokie Roberts tries her hand at comedy:
For professional legislators like Lott, the toxic partisanship poisoning the capital today makes their job very difficult and dispiriting. Ideologues in both parties savage anyone who even hints at working with the rival camp. As Republican Sen. John Thune, Lott’s deputy, explained: “He’s just sort of reached the end of the line in terms of what he can do here.”
Oh well at least it gives us a good excuse to return to the golden days of 2002, when Atrios wrote in paragraphs.
Those following Atrios’ excellent coverage of the Trent Lott’s most recent declaration of racial hatred shouldn’t be surprised by the Moonie Times’ reporting on the controversy:
"Senate Republican Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi, who was learning to walk when Mr. Thurmond was participating in the D-Day invasion of France in World War II, couldn’t help but notice the significance of yesterday’s snowstorm. ‘I always said that Strom wouldn’t leave until the Capitol froze over, and darned if he didn’t,’ he said."
Reporting, as in not reporting. Not one word about Lott’s endorsement of Strom’s racist presidential platform, or even Strom’s own history as a bigot. Further proof of the Moonie Times’ dedication to its missions of rehabilitating the racist South and putting lipstick on racist pigs.
Beyond that, the article is the usual crap about Strom being a horny old fart and, get this, "outliving communism." (Imagine the outrage from Dickie Scaife and Bozell the Clown if the Washington Post printed that.)
Are we laughing yet?

Cooky Roberts.

hi Jane.
And with those indictments, he needs that campaign money and a little more time at home with his lawyers.
Translation: he’s shaken down everyone he could, and the Feds are
beginning to make life unpleasant for his homies.
Q: Why does the majority have to seat whoever Barbour appoints to replace Lott?
Why not just say: OK, if “bipartisanship is dead, Suck.On.This.
P.S. Preview still doesn’t work for me.
Trent Lott is quitting his job for reasons other that financial.
OT..Is there any way to bring back the “spinning wheel of doom”?
Hey. No criticism. Cokie Roberts was 2 years ahead of me, and 5 years ahead of Hillary at Wellesley. Don’t know how I ended up in such bad company here at FDL, when I could be hanging out with all the smart girls.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cokie_Roberts
What the hell kind of name is “Cokie”?
It’s exactly like Buzzy and Cookie. *g*
Don’t go there.
Next Cokie will be lamenting that axe murderers are disspirited because they get sore arms from all the chopping.
Born Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs
so “Cokie” wasn’t a nickname she got at Studio 54 in the 70s?
asks someone named cleter! *g
Mary Martha Corinne Morrison Claiborne Boggs Roberts…that would make me Cokie.
I suppose Cokie and her Hubby miss Strom Thurmond as well. It’s OK to be a racist in the Senate if you are an effective racist legislator.
hey, my parents had run out of names. I have many siblings.
Trent Lott is up to his neck in family bribery and corruption. That’s why he’s leaving.
AND, BTW, my childhood nickname was Cookie, which must make me kissing cousins with Cokie.
Trent Lott is skipping out of the capitol ahead of revelations of homosexual prostitution and a revised ethics bill that would prevent him from cruising K-Street for an extra year. Everything else is revisionist propaganda from the Republican marketing machine.
What indictments, Steve AR?
how crooked do you have to be to be too crooked to be a GOP senator? I thought the only reason they left was because of sexual pecadilloes.
Apparently, it’s your LOTT in life.
Watching Cokie on tv is disconcerting. Her demeanor is bizarre. It’s almost like looking at a ventriloquist’s dummie.
Ahh, for the good old days.
Speeew. Wiping red wine off screen.
His Brother-in-law and nephew have been indicted for attempted brig=bbery of a judge in civil suits dealing with State Farm’s handling of Katrina claims I believe it was.
Loo Hoo, are you filling in for Punaise tonight?
This is kinda interesting…”no current affiliation”….:
http://bigheaddc.com/2007/11/2…..-too-much/
dakine, I did see that. Just wondered if there was something a little more close to home that I missed.
There’s more to this…
Never, Bilbo. That guy’s got a way with words…
And money.
Are we laughing yet?
Most days, as it related to politics, I’d settle for just bein’ able to smile again.
Kinda hard to get much closer to home unless it is inside the house. Which may be as I recall reading that State Farm made a point of settling quickly and graciously with Sen Lott on his destroyed home on the gulf coast.
Actor Morgan Freeman in an interview featured in the Nov/Dec issue of AARP magazine refused to meet with Trent Lott at a gala charity event. When asked by a Lott subordinate if Lott could come to his table to meet him Freeman replied, “I don’t see why”.
Awesome!
I bet Sen. Susan Collins isn’t laughing knowing that Trent Lott is leaving. She was the deciding vote in getting Mr. Racist into the Senate Minority Whip. She’s gonna miss him for sure!
Interestingly enough, in the survey of my Wellesley class at the 10th reunion (76), IIRC, about 2/3s responded to the survey that they were Ds. Knocked me off my chair. I spent 4 years there and thought I never met another D. (Caveat: I was a chemistry major, so didn’t engage in much overt political discussion. Just an impression.) In subsequent years, I’ve continued to think hard about rich white girls identifying with the D party in those years. Must be some kind of Blue Dog thing, but I’m still baffled.
I’m certain Lott must’ve played a role in Ray-Gun’s Philly, Ms, campaign launch party… A key architect of the Goopers’ Grand ‘Southern Strategy’…
Romney is going to a major speech on religion!!!
Oh, boy. Nail biting…
Hillary is white but she sure wasn’t rich when she went to Wellesley.
Great catch, thanks.
I’m a little concerned about Cokie Roberts to tell the truth. She’s been a pretty steadfast defender of the “institution” that the current Congress represents. But the individuals members (such as Lott) who pursue their own personal (as opposed to their district’s – much less the nation’s) agenda are not worthy of rationalizations defending their behavior IMHO.
OT..Bush Crime Family..Rut..Roh..:
Marcy
You smell that? Do you smell that? Desperation, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of desperation in the morning.
Cokie lookes and sounds like she’s got something shoved up her butt. Perhaps that’s why she such a suck up.
Gimme Studs Turkel any day.
Trent Lott and Haley Barbour. These are big GOP fish to fry. Barbour reminds me of Orson Wells in “Citizen Kane”.
that even sounds insane from Cokie. I have heard Lott called lots of things, but a professional legislator, as opposed to a gooper hack or right-wing racist, not so much.
Or Joe Bageant.
She was a heck of a lot richer than me. About 15-20 years after graduation, a colleague of mine on Wall St, also a Wellesley alum, remarked about how much the experience had expanded her horizons. She had gone to a single-sex boarding school in VA previously. She said, “Do you know, there were even girls at Wellesley on scholarship?” To which my response was, “Yes, I was one of them.” Tuition room & board was $2850 my senior year & I’ll bet Hillary, from an upper middle class Chicago suburb didn’t need a scholarship.
My urban high school had about the same number of students as Wellesley and was marvelously diverse. Wellesley seemed like I had been put into a straight jacket.
Now it sounds like I’m whining, but I’m just trying to establish context.
Was she still a “Goldwater Girl” when she was in college?
On foreign policy issues some argue that HRC is still a “Goldwater Girl”.
We, in this house, will be happier when Hillary and Obama are no longer the “frontrunners”.
Could be worse – much worse — Gloria Borger lived next door to me at Colgate.
EW is on a hot trail….:
“Which made me wonder what happened to investigations into Jeb’s role in the last piece of shitpile Florida bought: Over $300 million in Enron stock, also approved while Bush was in charge of Florida’s State Board of Administration.
According to a report by AFSCME Florida Council 79, Inside the Florida State Board of Administration: Mismanagement Made the Enron Loss Inevitable, the State Board of Administration (SBA) repeatedly engaged in poor investment practices under the watch of its Board of Trustees, chaired by Gov. Jeb Bush. Despite warnings from inside and outside the SBA, the trustees failed to correct these problems, leading to a stunning loss on Enron stock nearly three times greater than that of any other state retirement fund….”
Is Gloria a pip or what?
Condolences.
Nope – has not changed an iota since our student days. First time I met her on line for the cafeteria our freshman year, she told me her goal was to be the editor of a news magazine. People think Hillary Clinton is cold, calculating and ambitious – she’s Little Mary Sunshine in comparison.
Hillary supports her vote for the AUMF, but the war wasn’t done right. She stands by her recent vote for Kyl Lieberman (no way to shake that so soon). She wants to hire Famous for Lying Colin Powell (He’s got street cred?). Obama wants to make nice with the team that brung us here with bipartisanship. No thanks to either. Both are the worst of the Democratic Candidates.
Sadly, my wife is fixated on Hill… However, I’m working hard to win her over… ;-)
They couldn’t have done better if they had intended to destroy the pension fund.
I’m not here to defend her (I’ve never met her) but I’m reasonably confident she’ll eventually going to get back to defending the institution that the members represent – rather than the members themselves. So I’d not burn her at the stake just yet. Just one opinion.
Forbes is on the case.
‘Brown” at the stake instead of “burn” at the stake?
The BigShitpile (BS), which so far has been unworthy of comment from
our Elite Opinionmakers, may be about to turn into a major political firestorm for two reasons:
1. As Floridians, Maniac, and even Norwegians are discovering, BS is coming to
a state, county or town budget near you, since much of BS was fobbed off on the
localities as a “smart” investment.
2. If things get bad enough, and (non-FDIC insured) money market funds, which also
are proud owners of part of the BS, begin to be unable to
repay people what they think they have in their accounts,
all hell will break loose.
Of course, this will be bad news for the Democrats.
Things are beginning to pop around here in terms of politics. That is I live in a weird place in the southwest. We are a very small pocket of blue in a very red state. I go to this Demo meeting and that Demo get together, etc., and people tell me they’re voting for this candidate or that. And when I ask them why they are voting that way they look at me like I’m from outer space. I’m interested in voting records, pronouncements, and issues.
OT..Oh shit..this could have a really bad outcome. Will this be the first SCOTUS affirmation of the unitary exec?

Wow, OSU/LSU national title game…
Good matchup. OSU/OK (Norman) would have been a good game too, but no way that was gonna happen.
Kind of like the Canadian Football League. They’ve got nine teams, but could only come up with eight names: hence Rough Riders and Roughriders.
That somehow seems SO Canadian to me, having grown up in Buffalo.
I think it’s time we had a president that is not necessarily a male or a woman. I am going to support the nominee of my party without regard to gender. And that’s a fact.
That just gave me a wave of nausea…
“It’s only funny until someone puts an eye out!” And for Trent, it isn’t poisonous until his own words are thrown back in his face.
Trent and Bob Dole taught this bile to Newt, and it metastasized from there. When Karl Rove came along he had a fertile petri dish to piss in. Oh how sad that politics ain’t what it used to be, when decent racists like Trent could spew venom and never get called on it. Those were the days!
Just how far could the Unitary Executive go, once it is established to be constitutional??????
Sounds like your explaining the roots of your political views to me. Some people have everything given to them, some people work their tails off. Which do you think is ultimately more rewarding?
Is that right? Am unfamiliar with that part of the history.
Speaking of Bush Brothers. George nis he evil, dumb one. Jeb is the evil, smart one. Marvin is the quiet one who did a great job at World Trade Center Security. But Neil is the colorful one, who ripped off savings and loans for millions of dollars and who sells defective educational software to the government. But he gets the babes.
Loaded Q, which can be answered only by the “who” in who you are. I’m sure W thinks being given everything is the BOMB. I used to be big on being a worker bee. Now I’m not so sure. I would it to be so, but it just isn’t.
OSU has a good football team but no class. After Illinois beat them, the Illinois players rushed out on to the field jumping up and down celebrating, at which point they were attacked by the OSU team.
The bottom line is this. Vote Democratic.
Thank you OKK. Your most endearing quality is your remarkable command of the obvious and your ability to slap us with it when we need it.
Please don’t let the Republicans pull their usual stuff. Vote Democratic.
Heh, I’m sure the hometown crowd would quell it in NOLA…
I’m outta here. Good night, folks.
Aloha, Bilbo!

A Different Christmas Poem
The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
I gazed round the room and I cherished the sight.
My wife was asleep, her head on my chest,
My daughter beside me, angelic in rest.
Outside the snow fell, a blanket of white,
Transforming the yard to a winter delight.
The sparkling lights in the tree I believe,
Completed the magic that was Christmas Eve.
My eyelids were heavy, my breathing was deep,
Secure and surrounded by love I would sleep.
In perfect contentment, or so it would seem,
So I slumbered, perhaps I started to dream.
The sound wasn’t loud, and it wasn’t too near,
But I opened my eyes when it tickled my ear.
Perhaps just a cough, I didn’t quite know, Then the
sure sound of footsteps outside in the snow.
My soul gave a tremble, I struggled to hear,
And I crept to the door just to see who was near.
Standing out in the cold and the dark of the night,
A lone figure stood, his face weary and tight.
A soldier, I puzzled, some twenty years old,
Perhaps a Marine, huddled here in the cold.
Alone in the dark, he looked up and smiled,
Standing watch over me, and my wife and my child.
“What are you doing?” I asked without fear,
“Come in this moment, it’s freezing out here!
Put down your pack, brush the snow from your sleeve,
You should be at home on a cold Christmas Eve!”
For barely a moment I saw his eyes shift,
Away from the cold and the snow blown in drifts..
To the window that danced with a warm fire’s light
Then he sighed and he said “Its really all right,
I’m out here by choice. I’m here every night.”
“It’s my duty to stand at the front of the line,
That separates you from the darkest of times.
No one had to ask or beg or implore me,
I’m proud to stand here like my fathers before me.
My Gramps died at ‘ Pearl on a day in December,”
Then he sighed, “That’s a Christmas ‘Gram always remembers.”
My dad stood his watch in the jungles of ‘ Nam ‘,
And now it is my turn and so, here I am.
I’ve not seen my own son in more than a while,
But my wife sends me pictures, he’s sure got her smile.
Then he bent and he carefully pulled from his bag,
The red, white, and blue… an American flag.
I can live through the cold and the being alone,
Away from my family, my house and my home.
I can stand at my post through the rain and the sleet,
I can sleep in a foxhole with little to eat.
I can carry the weight of killing another,
Or lay down my life with my sister and brother..
Who stand at the front against any and all,
To ensure for all time that this flag will not fall.”
“So go back inside,” he said, “harbor no fright,
Your family is waiting and I’ll be all right.”
“But isn’t there some thing I can do, at the least,
“Give you money,” I asked, “or prepare you a feast?
It seems all too little for all that you’ve done,
For being away from your wife and your son.”
Then his eye welled a tear that held no regret,
“Just tell us you love us, and never forget.
To fight for our rights back at home while we’re gone,
To stand your own watch, no matter how long.
For when we come home, either standing or dead,
To know you remember we fought and we bled.
Is payment enough, and with that we will trust,
That we mattered to you as you mattered to us.”

Editor & Publisher…”If Hillary Clinton — or, for matter, Jeb Bush — is elected president next year and serves two terms in office, that would mean a Bush or a Clinton would have held the White House for a whopping 28 years. And to think many once worried about a “Kennedy Dynasty.” Yet a new Gallup poll find that most Americans are not concerned about that.”
Excuse me!!!???

To the post earlier with all the Cokie names. After the Mary/Martha (very Catholic), the list is aristocratic Louisiana: Morrison, Claiborne. I think there has gotten to be something sort of pathetic about Cokie, having grown up in rarified and proper DC with her Mother really active in the Wives club, first to welcome new Congressional wives, etc. and the very powerful, respected Dad in the mold of LBJ. Then his tragic loss and the death of her sister quite young. It is as if she is the voice of a different world. No doubt many people regret the losses of the Kennedy era, some of the old bipartisanship, folks who seemed to be real statesmen. She live in that world much as Al Gore did. The current crew, W/Rove, are such cretins and phonies; it seems to me that the really tacky, lurid, hardball era may date to the time that Jim Wright was ousted for inflated book publishing profits. How minor does that seem in the present drama. She is probably, like the rest of us, in shock.
edited for clarity
A charitable interpretation. Perhaps it is so.
Nothing excuses apologizing for a racist, especially one who is a public servant, imo. I read a lot of racism in her for that matter.
I would feel more confident if Hillary were in charge than I would with Obama ‘running things’.
She is still a product, and, denizen of the DC Cocktail Weenie Circuit…
yup. I’m getting the same feeling…
That *is* special…wonder if it’s been set to music?
Which is stranger? Cokie or Mary Matalin? Or for that matter James Carville?
DOes anyone know why posts are repeated 5 or 6 times? Plus, I am having trouble with basic typing….things just freeze or stick. Ideas?
G’nite all.
Aloha, ecahn!
I am not seeing either of those, and I’ve been on the site quite a bit today. Which MAY mean it’s a local thing to your browser.
I’m gonna try this again:
10/1990
http://query.nytimes.com/gst/f…..nted=print
“After Jeb Bush, a son of the President, and a partner bought a Miami office building using money an associate had borrowed from a local savings and loan, the Federal Government wound up repaying most of the loan.
After Jeb Bush, a son of the President, and a partner bought a Miami office building using money an associate had borrowed from a local savings and loan, the Federal Government wound up repaying most of the loan.
The savings institution became insolvent, and the Government paid more than $4 million to make good the loan as part of the bailout of the savings industry. Mr. Bush and his partner negotiated a settlement with regulators in which they repaid $505,000 and retained control of the building. While they still have a $7 million mortgage to pay on that property, the settlement with the Government lifted from their backs a $4.565 million second mortgage.
There is no evidence that Mr. Bush or his partner improperly influenced the settlement process. Mr. Bush, in an interview, said he was a ”victim of circumstance” and had no involvement in the settlement talks.” Sure you didn’t, Jeb.
Lahoma might not be in total agreement with what you say here. But I am. ;0)
5-4.. Bush can designate anyone as an enemy combatant and lock them up without do process or any Constitutional protections.
Various browsers seem to be having various issues. If you can tell us what type of computer and browser you are using, it will help the techies chase down the problems.

1,676 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND..
Citizen RevBev:
“She is probably, like the rest of us, in shock.”
Bless your heart Reverend Sister Bev, but I wonder what in fact poor old Cokie is in shock from…and while we’re at it let’s not create romantic illusions for a time of genteel politics and bi-partisan statesmanship that never really existed. I’m afraid that Cokie is indeed in shock but it’s a pretty serious case if she is advancin’ poor Trent Lott as a victim of vicious partisanship. She is,in fact like her father, a creature of that deepest and darkest of southern culture that never really gave up the sense of noblesse obliege of the slaveholder class and sees her responsibility in life to carry on the role of the social elite and advance the mission of the leadership class into the next generation.
And let us here in the progressive universe not fall into the trap of lookin back on the post WWII period as some kinda Camelot with righteous nobility and socially appointed dragon slayers leading the child-like masses. I remember those times and there was nuthin “statesman-like” or “noble” about Strom Thurmond or Joe McCarthy or the KKK or Richard Nixon. Let’s keep our history in a realm of reality that resembles our actual experience.
KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T LET WISHFUL THINKIN’ REPLACE YOUR HISTORY!!
LS, ain’t no coincidence. Jeb knew exactly how to screw the taxpayers one more time. Will there be justice at some point is the question. And since he scammed the taxpayers once with no consequences, why not try again?
O Look what worked:
I take your point and have not forgotten the sort of cruel evil you describe. But I also think there were important alliances and courtesies and efforts to achieve important things in an atmosphere that is quite different from what we see today. Sort of reminds me of LBJs comment when he signed the Civil Rights bill: We’ve lost the South. And much more, I think.
Part of the shock I am talking about, for instance, is the 2000 election. I never thought I would see anything like Florida and the disaster of the Supreme Court’s decision; now I question whether I will ever see an election that I trust. That is the degree of shock I am talking about that to me sets this era apart from previous outrage; now, the outrage has taken over, as I see it.
So Trent’s leaving because he doesn’t like the partisan atmosphere in Washington? Bullshit! I imagine he liked it just fine when his side was in charge. Seems there’s a whole different perspective between being the marginalizer vs the marginalizee, isn’t there Trent?
RevBev, I think you’re a wonderfully charitable person, but it’s really hard for me to give Cokie Roberts the benefit of the doubt while her brother is the chief lobbyist for Wal-Mart and she gets a large chunk of money making appearances for them (and they were the first publishers of her latest book).
What really hardened me into feeling uncharitable for her, though, was after Katrina, when she got snippy on her Sunday show about how nobody should suggest that there was something else the feds should have done.
Some of those people were dying in the Lindy Hale Boggs hospital and the Lindy Hale Boggs stadium.
Honestly, if what touched her off after watching people dying because big brothers’ shipments of WalMart water were stopped at the border was that people were being mean to Mr. Bush and Mr. Brown, I don’t think she’s salvageable.
Some people probably don’t notice the anomalies we’re experiencing as they have broadband connections to the Internets™. I can assure you I’m experiencing the same thing on a dial-up, now using a G4 466MHz (I reported another machine on the previous thread). It’s really pretty bad. I’m thinking it’s constantly using the XMLHttpRequest Object to update the comments behind the scenes. It’s a waste of bandwidth. This redesign accomodates more advertising, but it also increases monthly bandwidth usage rather significantly. Bandwidth usage is not a trivial part of the cost of hosting a web site. It’s possible to have a multiuser site without all this rubbish to content with. Just a thought. Btw, the preview feature doesn’t work on the latest Firefox for mac. Just thought the management ought to know.
I know very little about any of the details. I did have some correction, not all, after I did the Delete cookies. I got alittle better speed.
I do remember some of seeing her about Katrina. I remember talking to my daughter about her comments about NO, quite defensive or naive, maybe, when she was talking about what a “wonderful place to live”. (Her mother, of course, lives in the non-flooded French Quarter.) Like many places, NO is a wonderful place to live depending on where you live, who you are, what you need, such as public schools. I had forgotten how out of touch she sounded. Thanks. I did not know the WalMart connection or reaction. For whatever reason, I do think she sounds more out of touch than in earlier times…for whatever reason. I also see her less frequently, however.
You have to understand Cokie’s history. I believe her father died while in Congress, in a small plane up in Alaska, when she was a young child. She basically grew up in the House and the Senate, it’s the only home she has ever known. So, to her, they are all family, and not to be disrespected.
Now, why we’d ever want somebody like that pretending to be a journalist is another story altogether.
Speaking of which…is Ms. Doan still working for Bush?
Wow, I wonder which one he’ll declare for. Figure he’s a Buddhist? Maybe he’s going to tell us how his practice of Shintoism informs his plan to privatize Social Security.
If they do that, then maybe 5 Conservative Bush Republicans ought to be designated with ‘do process’. Just sayin’ if you’re gonna threaten the Constitution then maybe you’re one a them ‘homegrown terrorists’. BTW, does ‘homegrown’ mean you grow up outta the ground like a tomato or somethin’?
Thad, she was raised as the daughter of the House Majority Leader, and her father’s accident happened when she was almost thirty and had been married for six years.
Remember when Ms. Roberts got caught claiming she was broadcasting in front of the White House when she actually was in front of a chroma screen in a studio with the White House as background.
Cokie-what kind of name is that?-is another bag man for the GOP. She has consistently savaged Democrats. Her political analyses are narrow in scope and partisan to say the least. She has this air of snotty gravitas that is very alienating.
Hey eCAHNomics –
Another Buffalo Gal here!
