Aznar, Blair, Miller, Berlusconi, Howard…Musharraf?
Pakistan’s opposition parties won national parliamentary elections yesterday as voters sought an end to President Pervez Musharraf’s eight years of military rule.
…
“This is a verdict against Musharraf and his policies,” Pakistan Peoples Party spokesman Farhatullah Babar said in a phone interview. “Musharraf himself had promised that if parties opposing him came into power he would resign. Now he should honor his promise.”
Proving, yet again, that if you’re in bed with Bush, you’re toast.

Well, you can’t say that he isn’t a concensus builder – at home and abroad!

your mouth > gods ears
on another thought, i’ve been thinking of using fish oil as the butter for my toast
any thoughts?
Musharraf’s next move will be to put his uniform back on and say “Just kidding”.
oops, that should read;
and then;
your mouth > gods ears
I blew it
It’s worked out pretty well for Condi.
I also didn’t like the idea of fish oil on toast – but I guess it all depends on the kind of jam you use with it. *g*
not necessarily, but definitely a crumb
Don’t count Berlosconi out. He’s poised to win in Italy’s next election.
So…. will this hold with McBush?
Please please please let it be so…..
Does she wear her boots to bed?
better to use extra-virgin olive oil, it goes better with jam as well
Will the congress critters get the message…. I doubt it.
Condi puts fish oil on her toast?
Remember, Bush is a uniter; not a divider!
a little fixer upper ;-)
Don’t we just hope this is the prescient pattern for Ally Sen. John. Truly a uniter. An ex-Bush club to start with Blair, I guess.
This line of conversation can only result in me getting into trouble.
I wouldn’t be surprised,
with a little help from his friends
RED ALERT
Joe Sestak has a challenger in the election. However we felt about a couple of his votes, he’s still lots better than what we’d get here.
We need to get behind him again I think. Having met and talked with him, I do think he’s got his heart in the right place and is with us on the issues we care most about. Yes, he voted for the military appropriations but he’s a military guy who won’t leave the troops out there without what they need.
Anyway I think we need to get on board.
”This line of conversation can only result in me getting into trouble.”
Geez, Raven, aren’t you use to that by now?
Yea yea, but when they set it up on a tee for me. . .fish and condi. . .geeeze!
Slightly OT (Staying away from oil)
We have numerous polls about who was the most popular/unpopular prez but I have yet to see a poll on which prez. was/is the greatest laughing stock. Anyway I vote for bush2 as the greatest laughing stock as prez.
thanks for that RevDeb. That guy would be a disaster.
”Yea yea, but when they set it up on a tee for me. . .fish and condi. . .geeeze!”
Ah, come on, take a swing! That’s what we’re all here for!
You have to hear this because they leave the start off of the lyrics.
It’s LBJ saying
“I speak tonight for the dignity of man” followed by a crowd breaking up in laughter:
Look, up yonder in the sky, now, what is that I pray ?
It’s a bird it’s a plane, it’s a man insane, it’s my President LBJ
He’s flying high way up in the sky just like Superman,
But I have got a little piece of kryptonite,
Yes, I’ll bring him back to land.
Said come out Lyndon with your hands held high,
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky.
I’ve got you surrounded and you ain’t got a chance,
Gonna send you back to Texas, make you work on your ranch,
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.
He can call Super Woman and his Super Dogs,
But it sure won’t do him no good,
Yeah, I found out why from a Russian spy
That he ain’t nothing but a comic book.
We’ll pull him off the stands and clean up the land,
Yes, we’ll have us a brand new day.
What is more I got the Fantastic Four
And Doctor Strange to help him on his way.
Said come out Lyndon with your hands held high,
Drop your guns, baby, and reach for the sky.
We got you surrounded and you ain’t got a chance,
Gonna send you back to Texas make you work on your ranch,
Yeah yeah, oh yeah.
Yeah, gonna make him eat flowers.
Yeah, make him drop some acid …
Oh yea, if someone is tempted to tell me about all the great legislation LBJ passed. . .save the key strokes.
From what I saw of the polls, ANY votes he got were manufactured.
OMG, it was Killin Floor by the Electric Flag, I so apologize.
I was wondering what you were talking about! Thanks for the link, I’m liking the music!
Who will be the next dictator to step down? We’ve had Castro today. Mushy has been voted out of power and some say he might quit, although some point out he still has the power to suspend the constitution. Will W actually walk away in January?
Pedantic me.

Mike Bloomfield, Nick Gravenites, Buddy Miles. . . damn!
hot damn!
The real question is “Will Cheney?”
even mccain knows he better make some distance between bush
nice, thanks, it’s been in my head for 40 years and I never knew from whence it came.
It was the music that was so inspiring. Nice
In his case I still have visions of handcuffs and a frog-march.

If he leaves, it’s more likely to be with a pardon in one hand and the other hand flipping the bird.
OT SCOUS Tell ACLU no on suit warrentless wire tap .
Well, responding to something from yesterday (Sorry, didn’t see it til this morning) , it’s going to be great in January when the Democratic party finally kicks Bush ally and traitor Joe Lieberman’s ass out of the party.
That guy is SO in his LAST term in the Senate. He probably is hitching his professional future to McBush’s wagon, thinking he’ll get some cabinet post.
Fat fucking chance. You’re goin’ DOWN Lieberman, you bastard.
Bush’s positive legacy exists after all — he has improved governments the world over by getting visibly close to bad ones. If only we could get him to come to Canada soon to hug Stephen Harper (who alas is smart enough to be in hiding when he arrives).
O TScotus tells ACLU that wireless spying oK by them.
Gotta link? Thanks.
Late sixties music was great but the times were hell. And that idiotic, dangerous McJack want to continue with this fu*king war? Now I am really getting angry.
Well, from my view it was mixed. We were damn sure alive. . .as long as we didn’t get killed!
well, this is not gonna make you happy;

i think everyone but McCain and Lieberman knows they are stalking horses for the Rep party. The Rs know they are going to lose, so they put these two up to take the fall, altho what they told these two is that the Rs are paying their debt to them; McCain ‘waited his turn’ and Lieberman for being an R mole in the D party.
Can’t think about those times without doing a hillary.
i think of those times, don’t know if i do a hillary – ??
Ah beeleeve that Moosharraff is Pakistans’ Thomas Jeffershon.

Depends on the meaning of “a hillary”; I have my meaning, you may have your own.

Thanks, bigbob and twolf1
LOL! oooh, here, let me pat your shoulder ***pat, pat*** feeling better?
A good critique of the Kosovo liberation:

PS – not nice!
Lebanese President Fouad Siniora won’t make the greatest speech list with this kind of gibberish:
“Lebanon wants good relations with all the world, except with Israel… all Lebanese are opposed to Israel. We need to stop classifying people and charging them with being agents,” he said.
Say what?

Through almost all of its history, SCOTUS has been less about upholding the Constitution and more about defending the powers that be.
I do the same when I go to the memorial and see all those names of people I knew. It is not a laughing matter
OT, but I’ve noticed lately several political ads on lefty blogs for Republicans. Right now, I was over at TPM and prominently on the middle of front page was an ad for Steve Sauerberg, MD, with the quote “We must Liberal Dick Durbin” in large letters. It makes me laugh when I see this (I think I’ve even seen them on FDL from time to time) but I was wondering what others think about why they do this. Just enjoy wasting their money, or do they think they’ll actually get converts this way? OTOH, I think they should be
allowedencouraged to waste their funding this way. We could use the comic relief. Just MHO.What can one expect when there are favors to be returned. It’s not surprising with the crap that’s been confirmed in the last 7 years. Generations to come will feel the effects.
Hmmmm, sorry, I kinda liked them there sixties – “free love,” readily available birth control, bra-burnings, great music – all providing background to important social work being undertaken. The grim part was the draft.
Sorry, the quote on the ad says “We must stop Liberal Dick Durbin”! My bad.
I agree @ 64
Hate ta hear about people who durb their dicks.
Actually, I’m tired of the Snorg Tees ads here. Not very nice, IMHO. I realize it sounds prudish, but as the father of a teen, I’m sensitive to exploitation.
Sociopath Bush lets loose the real reason for the war in Iraq:
Bush: I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs.
Curry: Oh, yeah?
Bush: Yeah, because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses (Curry: hmmmmm) and the economy is adjusting. On the other hand we’re just about to kick out 157 billion dollars to our taxpayers……what would have been had we abandoned Iraq when times were tough and let those soldiers die in vain..
-G
I SO agree with you. And ditto perhaps because I have a teen kid. I have brought it up several times before, and then just gave up. It is in part what is said on the teeshirts, but also the angle of the camera, the age of the models. They work together to be a bit jail baitish. Not good.
It took me three reads to get it. Just saying….
Liberally, might I add.

Seems much of the world is tired of warmongers. This means trouble in Nov for Johnvez McSharraf.
I heard that.
The thing that was insult added to injury, was
Without Comment.
They don’t even feel the need for pretense anymore.
oh don’t get me started. Ever since I read that creepy link on corporations and martial law my tinfoil hat has been all aquiver. I’m thinking we should be extra vigilant and paranoid come August.
And thanks to Raven for the wonderful wake-up music!
i’m sorry to not be specific of which i was laughing – in specific at ‘doing a hillary.’ which shouldn’t be laughed at either. i will slink away in shame.
That’s the precise reason the Clinton’s are going down too.
It isn’t so much that we don’t like them – we all just want some fresh air -for a change.
Yeah, that whole civil rights bill — whateva.
Uh oh. Charlie Rangel, who has been a strong Hillary backer, has been sounding a little wishy-washy recently. He’s still for Clinton, but doesn’t like the superdelegate strategy. She really can’t afford to have Rangel switch.

i’m not sure why anyone would think Bush was in bed with Musharaff – Bush has been funding oppo groups to the tune of millions for years, now.
