Via my homeboy TS, I see that Nooner is very upset with Chimpy these days:
George W. Bush destroyed the Republican Party, by which I mean he sundered it, broke its constituent pieces apart and set them against each other. He did this on spending, the size of government, war, the ability to prosecute war, immigration and other issues.
She's no longer in a savoring mood, apparently.
I'd point out that George W. Bush hasn't just destroyed the GOP -- he's pretty much wrecked the country, and a decent-sized chunk of the world to boot. But Nooner's first concern, naturally, is her own beloved party.
Asshole.

BADA BING x 3…
Well, the Repugs are quite adept at navel-gazing…
And on the other side, guess who may be ruining the Democratic party

But, but, but, …. he’s so Manly.
Gosh.
I just don’t know where that thumb has been.
I told Grandpa to send Peggy flowers. You mean she didn’t get them?…
This sounds sorta like…surrender.
I surprised she took the time away from fellating the corpse of Ronald Reagan to write that…
‘ja think?
Ewwww.w.w.w…!!!
Yeah, well, I NEVER wanted to have a beer with that prick.
Yeah, well, I’m sorry…. [hangs head and shuffles off…]
hey blue, gr8 2 c u again!
I’d like to make a great point;
back when murtha was the first person to say we had to draw down, redeploy, that we were the target, that we were causing the problems in Iraq
he actually said;
“if the republicans want to maintain their majority they better start getting us out of Iraq”
imagine that, he predicted their historical fall from power and he gave them the antidote as well
and they called him crazy
and here we are today
Hahahahahahahahaha… for their next trick as “Rats Deserting a Sinking Ship” Andy Sullivan will declare that the whole gay thing was just a way to sell books, and fulfill a hiring quota at TNR for his buddy Marty.
’s OK.
:)
Poor widdle Peggy. Is she feeling a little…hmmm…what’s the word?…
betrayed? conned? ripped off?
like a (clears throat) LEEUSER??? Oh heart is breaking.

Peggy Noonan: “George W. Bush Destroyed The Republican Party”
—-
Oh, she’s far too modest. You helped too Peggy.
- Tom
Pat Buchanan is also in blame Bush mode for all the troubles. He thinks though that a “new Republican party is being born.
This is too funny from a highly misleading AP article about Hillary titled “Clinton Gains Black Endorsements in S.C.”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200.....pr/clinton
Feed the sheep, huh? That woman is more correct than she knows.
I gotta give her a little credit. It’s far more than what gooper candidates would say, you know, the ones telling us to thank Bush for keeping us safe while they rob the country blind?
I’m sure the thumbs up is for you, Peggy.
Pat has been very down on Bush for a very long time.
Ding! Good job, BT!
(Just a drive-by. I’m trying to write my spiel for the Senators)
Just took a stroll over on Freeper Lane to check the weather. Rooty?-nope! Huckabees a Huckabeen(phunny). No to Mccainiac, even with a clothespin(thanks ma). Maybe Newt will ride in on his Dark Horse? Oh Noes, not that guy!
Yup, weather is gloomy over there.
See, EVERYTHING is good for Republicans! Even the destruction of their party and the loss of the White House.
I wonder how peggy noonan stands on telecom immunity? Has she called her senators yet?
May be but it’s parents sure are ugly.
How about Mitt? looking fit?
birth pains of democracy.
Mitt basically called Reagan a Tax and Spend Liberal last night during his whispered “Raise Taxes” earpiece stunt.
OT: This bothers me:
OT–apologies:
Hillary pulls a fast one:
Even when it’s your fault, it’s not your fault in the Republican Party. Responsibility? Blame the other Republican!
Noonan is apparently too stupid to realize that the reason the Republican Party is falling apart is because it was co-opted by the neocons on the one side and the fundies on the other, each of which exploited the authoritarian vulnerabilities of the rank and file. So now they have a schizophrenic party which on the one hand subscribes to the cult of Jesus (which is an entirely different thing from Christianty - Jesus as authoritarian ruler) and on the other hand is rationalizing torture and war.
They’ve been laying the groundwork for this storyline for many months now. I suspect it’ll be in full bloom once they have a candidate picked for the General. Everything will be the “Bush Administration’s fault.” They’ll come riding in claiming to be the saviours of the Party, and return it to “traditional” Repube values.
The BigMedia
Pressstenographers will dutifully repeat the theme, over and over again.Nuttin’ about mitt. That says something also.
He’s probably right. He’s just saying, “The King is dead! Long live the King!” If we think for a minute that the Phoenix won’t rise from the ashes once again, we’re deluding ourselves just as much as GWB, the obvious joke about “birth pangs” notwithstanding.
Mitt’s the one, imo.
Mitt just seems like a blank page. No there,there.
Ah, is anyone surprised she did that? Of course, many of her supporters will say, “See! She’s a fighter and she knows how to win! That’s a real leader for ya.”
Do those who think that feel she’s really a Democrat still?
Are will still better off simply voting for anyone that puts a (D) after their name? I have my own answer to that.
Peggy blames George Bush for destroying the gooper party….she tends to ignore her OWN role. She was the brilliant strategist who publicly encouraged gooper congresscritters to give religious conservatives what they wanted in the Terry Shiavo case because “They want it SO much and no one else will even notice”..They should not be concerned about “making public fools out of themselves” cause only the religious right would be paying attention…..That marks the day the goopers began their long slide into destruction.
Peggy has a little girl voice that advocates death and destruction in cutsy phrases…..Darth Vader in a 60 year old permamently pre pubescent body.
W leaves a trail of destruction that is generations wide.
“That doesn’t give me confidence that if the person became president that they would continue the kind of policies that they are using in the Democratic primary. I’m more likely to believe what they did in the Senate.”
Well, Russ, you could have run for pres as a “real progressive” but you chose not to, so what’s your point?
What was that thing called we had when I was a kid? A gray plastic sheet over a soft black pad. You could write on the top with a stylus, the black writing would show up, erase it by lifting up the plastic sheet, and have a blank page again. That’s Mitt.
My contempt for Joe Short Ride continues, but my loathing for W knows no bounds.
I noted that too earlier. Totally disgusting. We will see how this one plays out. Major slap in the face to the Dean and all the rest of us who support the viability of agreements and the law. (goes with Hillary’s illegal stuff in Nevada.
Etch-a-sketch?
There must be some goopers holed up somewhere trying to figure out how to orchestrate the gooper convention…..Will Clusterfuck speak? Well I guess so- probably at midnight or four in the morning….what will the THEME be? Eight more years? They’ve got a bit of a problem.
yep.
Is there a way we can halp Dean? He’s my favorite Dem and I don’t want him removed. I suppose the DLC can’t get him out fast enough. Fools!
I believe his point is he wants edwards or gore but not oboma or hillary
I think that’s it. Do you agree that fits Mittens to a T?
It was such an insult to put Nooner next to a true scholar like Doris Kearns Goodwin on Meet the Russert last week. Goodwin was fair and offered very interesting insight as she always does. Nooner was an embarrassment. This is a person that wrote this abomination:
http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/8360.html
This thing should never be given a national platform about any topic…Ever. Now that Ruturd Murdoch owns WSJ however, I suppose Nooner will be getting a promotion.
i’ll bet she was ordered to write that. it’s scapegoat time. and who better than a psychopathic dumbass.
etchasketch was somethin else- more mechanical and expensive. These little things were two bits.
erasa something or other
Besides destroying the Republics, hopefully George W. Bush has destroyed the Bush family as a political force. IT would be fun, however, to see Jeb try to run by repudiating his brother.
Heh heh. I hadn’t thought of that. It might almost be fun to watch them try to squirm away from the smoking rubble W has left behind.
Ooops, not it’s not that. Just looked it up. Etch-a-sketch was manipulating dials to draw on a blank screen.
Maybe he shouldn’t have given the okay to launch the attack on his own countrymen.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOjNPiJr1xo
Would love ta see the faithful gooper delegates standing and chanting “eight more years” as Clusterfuck addresses the convention in prime time- and millions of americans throwing bricks throught their fuckin teevees!
Yes, i do . Also see RWCole @ 54. More mechanical and expensive. Wow, that is even better, huh?
hey, remember that kit you had to put on your TEEvee, a plastic sheet and you could draw in things for that magic cat with his magic bag?
or some cartoon, I forget which
It will be the job of the dem candidate, whoever she or he may be, to hang the dead carcass of GW Bush around the neck of the gooper candidate- whatever it may be.
Well, he seems to have an odd way of signaling that he wants Edwards:
With “friends” like that John Edwards doesn’t need any more enemies.
Nope. Here’s the link for etch-a-sketch. You can write & erase, but I want the idea of just lifting up the page to clear it.
http://www.fatbraintoys.com/to.....ce=froogle
Bush will be welcomed at the next Convention about as much as Nixon was at the 1976 convention.
aha, magic slate I think it was
magic slate
How did the goopers deal with him at that convention—in absentia?
So now they have a schizophrenic party which on the one hand subscribes to the cult of Jesus (which is an entirely different thing from Christianty - Jesus as authoritarian ruler) and on the other hand is rationalizing torture and war.
____________
Sort of. You’re giving X-tianity a pretty big pass here, considering its bloody history AND the requirement for the fulfillment ofThe Great Commission which requires the conversion of the entire world no matter the cost in blood or treasure.
He’ll probably wear his flight suit because he looks so manly in it and they will love it.
Ford was the President and the nominee. They tried to pretend that Nixon didn’t exist.
GW Clusterfuck getting dressed for the upcoming convention is told to put a potato in his pants to look manly.. Afterwards he is told that it would have come off better had he used a RAW potato rather than a mashed one.
Speaking of which, has anyone heard anything on how Dan Rather’s lawsuit is going?
Exactly. This is just misdirection. It is an attempt to shove the failures of conservatism on to the most obvious target, and for everyone else who participated in and cheerled the disaster to sneak away and avoid any personal responsibility.
There was talk of blood pressure medicine in the last post…we need truckloads..I was issued a blood pressure cuff yesterday by the Va here
Ha ha..seriously I laugh now but seriously, and pills to boot. I am going to wear it when commenting and reading to see how off the charts I go.
Are we mad or what!
Marion In Savannah I was about to eat lunch…I got the visual and lost it (laughing a lot)
Well, lets see if we can make this work. The ad says “screen allows you to doodle, print, draw, then just shake to erase, and do it all again!
Isn’t he known as the flip-flopper.
I see this as one of the first rumblings of the rejection of Bush they’re going to have to do to win anything in November. We need to be prepared to counter it at every turn and not let them pretend that that awful Bush is something that just happened to those nice Republicans (the TS post at Instaputz is a great example.) They created him, cheered him on, attacked anyone who dared to disagree with him, and enthusiastically followed him off the cliff. Now that the ground is rushing up at them, they’re trying to claim it was all his fault.
I don’t think they can keep Clusterfuck out of this convention—they’re gonna have ta get subtle- not their strong suit.
Perfect. And the name even fits: Mitt “Magic Slate” Romney. (Don’t know how to do the trade mark thingy.) Can we get it to go viral?
This is the second time that feingold has teed off on Edwards. The first time I removed myself from all his mailing lists and emailed him why I was pissed with him. His better place would have been to say nothing or endorse one of the other candidates. As it was his remarks were only meant to “damage” the Edwards campaign. For some reason he has bought into the obama/clinton corporate campaign. Un-fuc**ng believable what a few years in DC will do for you.
Magic Slate is better than flip flopper, imo, because he just wipes his past slate clean. Flip flopping implies the possibility of gaing back to some former opinion. Besides Magic Slate is new & clever, not just cribbing some old R language.
Yeah
Clusterfuck went down in flames WHILE FOLLOWING THE CONSERVATIVE BIBLE TO THE LETTER…The failure is SYSTEMIC- as the eventual candidate is about to discover…might as well run on a scientology platform as the discredited gooper one- that’s what scares the shit out of them all!
Hey Peggy?
Shut up and drive, the cliff is dead ahead.
Bush will be welcomed at the next Convention about as much as Nixon was at the 1976 convention.
Is there a futures market for rotten fruits and vegetables?
Eureka! Here’s the one I remember from childhood.
Magic Slate, it is. Run with this.
My, yes. How the MSM all swooned for the manly Dubya. They told us how wonderful he would be. It mattered not that he is a dolt. He was to surround himself with capable types. He was a fun guy you’d want to have a beer with. Gore was too pedantic and Kerry looked French. They all said so.
That’s the ticket — conservatives may be good at winning elections, but they suck at running a government. Of, “If you vote for people who don’t believe government can work, don’t be surprised if you get a government that doesn’t work.”
WINKI DINK!
Dear Ms. Noonan,
In the spirit of helping you diagnose your problems, I have a small correction for you. The Republican Party destroyed the Republican Party.
Hope this helps.
Yours truly.
hang that AlBushtross around their necks.
Yes, except in my day we didn’t have any marketing pics around the edges.
When they nominated George H.W. Bush, they effectively kept St. Reagan out. He made one speech.
Busted if I could go OT for a moment
Last night you mentioned the e-mail from Amazon - don’t answer it - it’s a fake. Amazon told me they are trying to find out who is doing it. I have been asked for my password as well. Beware !
I guess he’s playing the senate game and didn’t consider much that Edwards was only using the senate as a stepping stone to build his resume, so he could run for president.
I admire Feingold as a senator, but he is apparently a little too self-limiting in his thinking about the entire political ball of wax.
Stay in the senate Senator Feingold. Be a great senator, but don’t criticize others who are pulling the same wagon as you. It doesn’t help.
I laugh in your direction as I watch all you scabby wretches point the finger of blame anywhere but at yourselves.
OMG. “Land of The Lost” Magic Slate Mitt.
That works even better.
I got it done, all secure, thanks.
I had on of those phishing emails from paypal once telling me I had bought a 400 dollar camera.
I’m still cleaning up the ring I shit around myself on that one.
I straightened it out with the help of my bank.
magic slate
Apparently they’re still available.
Let’s let George Soros know that you can customize the Magic Slate with whatever slogan(s) you want… Minimum order 250.
Feingold is an individual contributor- not a team player. He shows this over and over again.
can you blame him?
look at his team mates.
Last ones picked at gym to a man.
How much for 535? Perhaps we could order them & send a message to Congress.
Customize them babies with Mr. Mittens head on top and a pair of wing tips on the bottom.
Fabulous.
If you ever get phishing e-mails from Paypal or E-Bay forward them to (respectively) spoof AT paypal DOT com, or spoof AT ebay DOT com. They’ll let you know if they’re for real. (They never are, by the way.)
busted
Well Edwards played high school football- and I think got a scholarship offer or two…Obama doesn’t look like much of a jock- but who knows?
I do a “report spam” then delete them from my spam folder.
He was not still in office. Unlike Bush, who probably will be.
Here’s two sites to figure out how to avoid phone menues & get to a human.
www.gethuman.com
www.dialahuman.com
I do that after I’ve forwarded them. Paypal and E-Bay try to track down who’s doing it, and they appreciate having the phishing forwarded.
I think I have probably gotten 50 of these things from “Amazon” and Amazon is really trying to stop it.
Glad you got it straightened out. Always follow one simple rule, people — never give out your credit-card info, bank account info, or passwords in response to an email or phone call that you didn’t initiate. If you get an email with a legitimate-looking link to a real site like eBay or PayPal, go to the site yourself (not using the link) and look for the item in question or the “security” section.
As an atheist, yeah, I am giving a big pass, but I’m trying to be diplomatic. Many disaffected Republicans are potential allies, and my goal is not to bring justice for past wrongs, but to help build a coalition to put things right.
OT: Here’s a concept for a much better economic stimulus, I think:
