PW!!!!!!

Triumph of the Swill!

If we could only stick to straight ahead corruption stories like the Dukester or Renzi then you would have to worry about covering the lil’ darlings ears.

wow

PW, I’m sorry. But before I read this I must report that these are the very words of our president:

“I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.”

“It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.

Can his parents put him on restriction? Please.

How’s Minnesota doing? I read you got the lt. gov out of the transportation business.

TDS has a new female cast member. That’s all I’ll say so as not to spoil anything.

can’t they dig up one of Spiotzer’s neigbors from hids youth to say they’re shocked and he always seemed like such a good boy? Jeez.

Geez, ya wanna talk obscenity? I gotcher obscenity right here!

The ultimate concern troll recommendation:

– Meet with a divorce lawyer.

Well Republican wives have to swear loyalty to the spouses and well as regular vows. My Husband right or wrong!

That we did. And the Republicans whined about how she was being martyred by Those Eeeevvvil Democrats!

parliamentary inquiry: are you allowed to say “douchebag” at fdl ?

You got it. Barbara Bush had to stand by and smile politely whenever Jennifer Fitzgerald was around.

Assuming the mods don’t overrule me: Yes, yes, I believe you are.

Are we speaking of a Writ of Douchebaggery here?

IYAARIDC. I repeat IYAARIDC cause you can get forgiven by gawd. Gawd does not
recognize democrats as savable.

well, whatever the answer to that inquiry, I know you bcan say fucking clown and he’s one. that’s one of the most ridiculous things he’s said. he’s so envious let’s see some of his relatives over there.

“Late Nite FDL: “Daddy, what’s a ‘gay prostitute’?””

how about, “Daddy, why did the president try to drown us?” or “Daddy, why does the president lie?” or “Daddy, are they taking our house?”

A-yep.

well in my jurisdiction, such common law writs have been abolished. It’s now called a “petition in lieu of douchebaggery writ.”

Bush must be on E. Or blow. Or both. First he is tap dancing. Now he is delusional. And still an asshole.

IMO the worst sex scandal is the fact that 1 in 4 teenaged girls in the US have STDs. That’s what abstinence only sex ed gets you. This was so preventable, but no, the sex police know how we are supposed to educate our kids!

Good for Those Eeeevvvil Democrats! We need to clone and get more of them around the country!

OT
After reading this I just want to say I think it’s patriotic for businesses and rich people to help pay for the war on terriorism and stave off a recession especially after record breaking profits the past few years.

“The biggest issue in this campaign is going to be your taxes,” Bush said Wednesday night at a GOP fundraiser. “I think the biggest issue in this campaign is which side of the political divide is going to let you keep your money, and which side is going to raise your taxes.”

Son, a gay prostitute is a man who pretends to be a reporter and asks easy questions. No?

No! We can’t have them hear about SEX at school, taught to them secular humanists!

Only prime time TV can properly explain to them that sex is sex!!!!

I read that and was ill. You know the very last place he would be found would be helping a young democracy. George’s altruism only extends to other people’s lives.

Are we speaking of a Writ of Douchebaggery here?

I believe that we are – and I hereby move for an immediate vote – as to the Ultimate Douchebag….

he is a whatchamacallit? you know, like people who get addicted to stuff.

DING DING DING! We have a winner!

absolutely. 100% right. good call rev.

don’t more than 1 in 4 lack health insurance to treat those STDs?

DING DING DING! We have another winner!

Obama and Clinton both present in The Senate tonight.

What’s going on that I evidently missed?

This one writes itself, W was at a conference for the religious wing nuts at the GAYLORD OPRYLAND Resort Hotel and Convention Center. Couldn’t make that one up if we tried.

No! We can’t have them hear about SEX at school

then hand out free condoms and an instructional pamphlet with good pictures.

“Daddy why is a moron our president?”

they probably just felt like taking a break from the campauign and blew in for fundraisers.

Bush had the chanch with Vietnam when he was young and he blew it off. He wasn’t a patroit.

I do understand that he is just advertising for the military. How many will heed his advice. Not many I’d guess.

oh, and offer free, anonymous testing too.

quote from Vitter:

“I made a very serious mistake a long time ago, and I have to live with that every day,” Vitter replied. He sounded genuine and contrite. “That’s not a flippant statement. I need to spend my whole life making up for that.”

Then his tone turned a bit defiant. “Anybody who looks at the two cases will see that there is an enormous difference between the two of them,” he said. “The people that are trying to draw comparisons to the two cases are people who’ve never agreed with me on important issues like immigration and other things.”

Perino on TDS

I believe you just did!

probably more than that are without health ins. Tragic.

no west coast TDS spoilers please
thank you from the time zone challenged viewers

because he got elected, honey. scary, huh? wanna sleep with the light on?

Did you hear Maher on Friday– doesn’t want to hear another candidate say “The American people are smarter than that.” they aren’t. maybe it was a new rule

fortunately she’s not the new female cast member . . . . although she makes about as much sense.

DAD!!!!!

When will we find out the discourse of the super secret meeting, false documents or black mail? Ah, probably both going on.

OMFG. That’s damned near totally incoherent.

You will just be telling them it is OK to fornicate. Just like Sen. Vitter did, you know, the stuff he was is paying for.

A secret recording was leaked this evening of the meeting. Several democrats were heard to say “Please sir may I have another?!”

You all need to check out Dana Perino on TDS tonight!

Warped mind that one has.

So now he’s trying to scare his “base” of have mores. Goofball.

I actually had some good friends that I no longer see. In 2000, they voted for Bush. I forgave. In 2004 they voted for Bush again, because they didn’t want to pay more in taxes.

When I spoke with them for the first time in a year a couple of months ago, they were voting for Romney so they wouldn’t have to pay more taxes. I gave up.

Louisiana doncha know.

Evening, Suz, crack the whip…! ;-)

“The people that are trying to draw comparisons to the two cases are people who’ve never agreed with me on important issues like immigration and other things.”

Other important things like – blond or brunette.. lessee – tonight am I the “S” or the “M”? Cash, or check? New girl, or same girl?

Life’s a bitch, huh Dave?

Can you imagine the comedy routines that will come out of this farce?

We should all mail Mr. Vitter a package of diapers.

yes. she’s an absolute characature of herself.

full diapers!

O/T sorry. damnit my foot is asleep- big time

Apparently Obama and Clinton sat down next to each other for a bit and chatted in the Senate. Are there any pictures out there of this?

d a d !!!!!!

You all need to check out Dana Perino on TDS tonight!

Recording now – thanks.

I gave up commercials for Lent.

There was a hand shake on CSPAN earlier. I still hope for a dream team, Pelosi notwithstanding.

does bfl think that george boosh is his dad?

You will just be telling them it is OK to fornicate.

so long as they protect themselves, i really don’t care. but then, i’m a DFH and not a parent. what do i know?

Bwahahaha!

so what did Dana “Fox’s next anchor” Perino have to say for herself today?

Howard Kurtz will be on Colbert.

Or rattles.

TDS Spoiler-Free zone for the Westies, pups.
Thanks.

I gave up cooking. I may not start again.

Aww, C’mon no spoilers…!

please, no TDS spoilers for those of us who are not able to watch it for several hours due to time zones -which is completely out of our control and is therefore not consentual

Nah.

What is it with Spitzer’s face? How does he turn it inside out like that?

Here is the get-together story:

Candidates Return to Senate Day Jobs

By DAVID ESPO – 5 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Suddenly, unexpectedly, they were together, in a place where aides dare not follow.

Eager to talk? Perhaps. Or maybe nowhere else to turn.

Whatever, Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton sat down for a quiet little chat Thursday on the Senate floor, colleagues, as well as rivals in a historic race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

She spoke animatedly, gesturing with her hands. He leaned in to listen, occasionally nodding his head and replying briefly.

Her cell phone rang. But because life does not imitate campaign commercials, it is not red, and on this occasion, evidently conveyed no news of a crisis. She silenced it and slipped it back into her pocket.

After three or four minutes, he gave her a friendly pat or two on the back, a classic senatorial gesture signifying nothing of consequence. They each smiled, and rose.

___

If anything of consequence was said, it may never be known.

Maybe they talked about airplane food.

Or perhaps that red phone campaign commercial she ran in the primary in Texas to call into question his readiness to serve as commander in chief. Or their agreement, announced during the day, to debate in Pennsylvania.

But instinctively, the rest of the room left them alone.

Normally, the Senate floor is a noisy, crowded precinct during a vote, senators milling around, moving quickly from one brief conversation to another. But in this case, as if by unspoken order, fellow lawmakers stayed well away from the two.

http://ap.google.com/article/A…..wD8VCQCUO0

…and is therefore not consentual!

Cuff ‘em, Suz!

I gave up cooking. I may not start again.

Very good – not available for me, unfortunately, I’d have to start cooking, I think, before I could give it up for Lent and Later…

Yes I did see it, it was a new rule. Most Americans are about as smart as the powers that be desire. The decline of our public schools is no accident. I was standing by my car at the gas station when someone pointed at my “Your ignorance is their power” bumpersticker and said “What the hell does that mean”.

Or their agreement, announced during the day, to debate in Pennsylvania.

Another one, eh?

Did you ask “who are you voting for my friend?”

…“Your ignorance is their power” bumpersticker and said “What the hell does that mean”.

Speaks volumes…! 8-(

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Suzanne, I didn’t get an answer to my parliamentary inquiry earlier. Are you in charge of those?

didn’t see it bfl – in charge of what?

DeMint Amendment up on CSpan – to make health insurance costs deductible…

Feinstein objects, as does Boxer – somehow this money all comes from California?

I presume that is a replay of earlier in the day, eh?

Ah, Mistah Kurtz thinks he, being the Grand Master of Bullshit Kabuki, will be able to evade Colbert’s going Benihana on his ass.

“Your ignorance is OUR power”

Rethug party slogan, I gather….

Cripes, they’re still in session? It’s almost midnight!

Is this instead of universal health care?

hmmmm. could be, I guess. Says “Live” on the screen though – and I *always* believe what I see on the teevee.

They are working? Do they get over time? How much do they make an hour?

the query was — i asked first because i don’t ever want to get in trouble, you know that…

is the word “douchebag” allowed at fdl?

if not, is exception made if itis used in refrence to Booosh?

foolish man.

Pizza time!!!

seems way past their nightcap time.

ohn Phoenix woman.. I’m curious what does NSDAP and the Nazi poster mean?

There’s no particular reason to make a habit of it, Beerfart…

The Lurking Mod is moderating this thread BFL

going Benihana on his ass.

Could I borrow steal that?

the douchebag talk–

every time i hear that word, i think of the old snl skit=the setting was an elegant european party, set in victorian times, everyone had on wigs, and the guests were announced as they entered the room…….

buck henry and gilda radner playing earl and lady doush-a-bag!!!!!!…….and the earl of sandwich…….and the earl of,—, and the earl of,—-………it went on and on……i hear douchebag, and i crack up……..doushabag is how garret morris pronounced it…….to make it elegant. ha.

a douchebag is a douchebag is a douchebag.

time to check out. Lots of work to do tomorrow in addition to keeping tabs on FISA redux.

Night all.

Heh, Hardly, No, and, Too much…! ;-)

Daddy, what’s an “ethical” prosecutor?

Speaking of which (though excuse the OT), it seems the feds aren’t done yet with Eliot. They’re pouring over his accounts purportedly trying to verify whether the governor used campaign funds, rather than his own money, to pay for sex.

I wonder how many degrees of separation Bush’s Department of InJustice will try to take this one incident. And they say rugby players eat their dead.

http://www.iht.com/articles/20…..pitzer.php

Aloha, Rev!

seems way past their nightcap time.

far as I know – there’s no requirement that Senators be sober in order to vote, or speak, or….(I better stop right there)

Yes. And since this debate will be in my state, I’m happy. :) The debate will take place in Philadelphia at the National Constitution Center.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N…..ion_Center

I agree. Don’t think I ever said it before, so it’s not as if I ever have made a habit of it. just wanted to check with the mod, ya know? i got my answer. thanks.

oh, i just read that, lurking mod, about the ’d’ word, sorry……….

just don’t make a habit of it. I’m told there’s no reason for that. couldn’t say for sure myself, but I have no reason to doubt what i’m told.

Any idea whom will be moderating/broadcasting it?

ok.

how you doin’?

no Howie Kurtz on Colbert tonight FYI. The assitude kabuki will have to wait for another night.

ok

For a second there I thought this thread was going to be about Matt Sanchez, the Republican blogger who was outted as a gay porn star last year after Ann Coulter called John Edwards a faggot.

According to this m4m discussion thread Sanchez, who’s gay porn star name was Rod Majors, worked as a prostitute using the nickname “Excellent-Top” a few years before he joined the marine reserves. Sanchez recently blogged about Eliot Spitzer, but in his puritanical hit piece he failed to mention his recent career as a gay hooker.

good.

that time of te hour when i gotta run. haven’t ben this happy to see friday in a long time. yesterday waas movingh day and i’m verfy sore and tired. i’m too old for this poop.

nite all.

Kurtz was on last night here in WI, unless I was dreaming…

National Socialist German Workers Party=NSDAP. the rest of the German I don’t know.

in his puritanical hit piece he failed to mention his recent career as a gay hooker.

The more I learn about gay republicans the more confused I get.

Yes, it’s cliche but it’s always true. IOKIYAR. ‘Nuff said?

Go ahead!

Thanks. I have no German skills

Not that time but I have tried many times to engage people in discussions of these troubled times. I live in a pretty conservative area, lots of W stickers and flag decals. Usually the people who want to talk are of the same mind and the others just want to insult me. I think it irritates them because they can sense the truth and it hurts to realize how much you have been lied to.

You can’t make sauerkraut?

Thanks for bringing up Sanchez. If he were a Democrat the GOP would never have taken him to their bosoms.

Any idea whom will be moderating/broadcasting it?

Broadcast by ABC. I don’t think we know the moderators yet. There will apparently be another debate in North Carolina moderated by Katie Couric and Bob Schieffer.

http://tpmelectioncentral.talk…..mpaign.php

Well, I gotta hit the hay, gang. You be good and don’t lip off to Suzanne, ‘kay? And brush your teeth and wash your hands before you go to bed, or Santa’ll put a lump of coal in your stocking!

The basic point is that Republicans didn’t need to worry about explaining Vitter: Spanking someone wearing diapers? Simply family friendly.

Amazing, however, the seeming lack of any realization of the hypocrisy. Want Spitzer out, then demand Vitter out/don’t give Gingrich the time of day/etc … Want to cheer Vitter, then don’t open your mouth on Spitzer.

The more I learn about gay republicans the more confused I get.

Guilty until proven innocent?

Mahalo, Rob!

nite PW
and thanks

even worse – santa will make ya have to deal with me :)

g’nite pw and thanks for a great post

Aloha, PW!

the rest of the german could probably be easily translated into a repub/fundy family values slogan!

or Santa’ll put a lump of coal in your stocking energy supply system!

We’re all ʻohana here. I hope I used that word right. :)

because he got Selected, honey.

there, it’s fixed now

My German is iffy but here goes.

The NSDAP preserves the national community.

Your national comrades need your advice and help. Join your local group/chapter.

“or Santa’ll put a lump of coal in your stocking energy supply system!”

Santa has rethug values. Coal to heat your house while his evil elves blow up a mountain village in West Virginia, having seized it using eminent domain, dispossing a few dozen of the less privileged

if santa was a rethug, he would say it was your own dayam fault you did not have coal and to go out and get a forking job you dfh… or words to that effect

Driving by on my way to sleep…

(((( Suz )))) Just because.

and hi and good night to all the wonderful pups.

A funny thing happened recently… The pro-war veterans group Vets for Freedom was promoting Matt Sanchez on their home page the other day. But after John Aravosis and Buckeye State Blog wrote about his gay porn past, any trace of Matt Sanchez was erased from the VFF web site.

Sanchez was “embedded” with the troops for months as a civilian blogger. And, if he can be trusted on this one point, his sexuality was never a problem for the soldiers he dealt with in Iraq and Afghanistan. How pathetic is it that VFF cut and run from an honest debate about the merits of DADT and letting gays serve.

Yes you did, except it’s merely ohana, nothing added…!

g’nite ll

Aloha, LL!

I refuse to believe that Santa is a Republican.

I mean, the reindeer and elves are unionized, ya know….

it makes me shake my head with sadness

the NSDAP protects the telecom community.
your phone company needs your money and info. submit to your local fbi/nsa.

LL!
I’ve been missing you, hugs.

Aren’t health insurance costs already deductible?

the GOP protects the telecom…
fixed

Santa as a rethug

i believe santa is the only employer of elfs and raindeer and therefore he makes the rules.

i’ve noticed other rules, such as those involving time, travel, gravity do not apply to him and he does his ‘job’ under cover of darkness and with no accountability. he keeps lists.

he must be republican.

he keeps lists.

he must be republican.

LOL!

WAY Ot, but: just noticed that my ankles are swollen like all hell. Now it’s entirely possible that they’ve been so for days, weeks, or even years (don’t really spend a lot of time looking at my ankles).

Now, back in the day, I used to sprain (yeah sprain, with the tennis ball on the side, swelling, discoloration, etc) one or the other every week. (used to piss my coach off when I had to hit the floor for 90 seconds ’til I could get back up and keep playing, but that’s another story).

What the heck does it mean when a 52 year old man has really swollen ankles?

/hypochondriac

If the candidates are going to agree to debates, what would stop them from insisting on moderators they already agreed on as well in order to, you know, like have the debates actually be about things that, you know, like matter?

I do not get why they do not do this.

And how can he get all that info for those lists? He must have the telecoms tappin’ the cell phones of our children

he keeps lists.

hmmm. good point. May call for some re-thinking….

how many hours have you been sitting at the computer without getting up and walking around?

GOUT!

What the heck does it mean when a 52 year old man has really swollen ankles?

Pregnancy.

republican

thinks he can buy votes love with pork gifts

how many hours have you been sitting at the computer without getting up and walking around?

Well, there is the insomnia thing goin’ on at the moment, but I got out and walked, I dunno, probably a couple of miles today. I live downtown – I walk everywhere….

possible swollen ankle causes, seriously

http://www.medicinenet.com/scr…..ekey=81013

Unitl a brighter mind comes along…

…it can mean that you sit too long. It can mean you have heart failure developing. Are you short of breath with exercise?

You would be much smarter to get it checked out, who cares if someone thinks yer a hypochondriac!?

Something tells me these guys don’t have swollen ankles.

EVA

Pregnancy.

Cool. If it’s a girl, I’m naming her “Santanico Pandemonium”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvCTkBKRggc

There you go!

It could be indicating heart problems. Please consider seeing a doctor very soon.

You slayed me with that last night!

“… straight guys – You’re welcome…”
LOL!

Piling on here, please see a doctor. It can be serious.

he knows when you are sleeping
he knows if you are awake
he knows if you’ve been bad or good
so be good for goodness sake

That’s the clincher – a gooper for sure.

Are you short of breath with exercise?

No dude – I’m ripped. Went to a new doctor a year ago, who asked me if I smoked – so I said – “well, only for the last 30 years” and got sent immediately to the respiratory specialist.

She had this tube thing hooked up to a lap-top, and said “blow as long and hard as you can” So I did, and she said “hmmm, let’s try that again”. So I did.

Then she said – “Shit – you just blew 101% of what a normal, non-smoking man your size and weight should be able to blow”.

Not happy at all, was she.

santa encourages people to go shopping

jayt what have you eaten recently? some years ago i knew a guy who had gout and every time he ate a steak(fatty like a rib-eye) and drank a couple of beers his gout acted up with-in a couple of days. this is just a w-a-g.

And he has a sweatshop in his cellar…

I don’t really know what gout is. Doesn’t it involve pain? There is no pain here – maybe just destroyed ankles that I haven’t looked at in a few years…

check blubs link at 172

newtonusr is probably right. your pregnant!

betcha he takes one look at that darling baby girl and scuttles all thoughts of her growing up to dance with snakes.

Jayt – make sure to get your daily requirement of calcium, etc.
Eating for two, now…

especially if she looks like selma!

Confidence is high that I’ll make a damned good mother…

jayt i think the question we all want answered is: who got you pregnant?

Plus you’re already not sleeping.

and is she going to make an honest man of you?

Gout usually involves pain, and redness around the affected joint. It usually doesn’t happen in both legs at once.

As a cardiac nurse, your heart is the first and most serious possibility.

Don’t fuck with it, call yer doc in the morning.

and is she going to make an honest man of you?

I beg your pardon – I’m perfectly capable of being a single mother – no help required….

Isn’t PetePierce a doc? He should be around here to get in a fight with me about which dem is the teh suck…

seconded

On a more serious note, is it a coincidence that Jayt is in this condition at the same time as Mr. Spitzer’s “problems”…. ….jayt???

didn’t jayt say something a few comments back about blowing into a nurses tubes?

heh heh

is it a coincidence that Jayt is in this condition at the same time as Mr. Spitzer’s “problems”…. ….jayt???

Don’t really think that there is a correlation, but I’d be more than happy to go out and seek “the cure” *g*

i’m not sure how that may have worked but it sounds causal to me.

at $4700 a poke?

Probably. Or a Rovian plot to distract us from Really Important Things that I can’t think of right now.

didn’t jayt say something a few comments back about blowing into a nurses tubes?

yeah, but it just pissed her off – musta done something wrong *g*

at $4700 a poke?

I’ll write a check… heh.

Someone should run tours through of the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport during the Republican Convention to show the attending delegates the locations of their “sex appropriate” bathrooms.

heart is the first and most serious possibility.

Don’t fuck with it, call yer doc in the morning.

ding! what smgumby sez….

The photo oddly but appropriately pokes “fun” at the Bush propaganda machine. The image is from a famous series of wartime Nazi propaganda posters. It promoted the myth of a focused, racially pure, national community. By definition, that excluded Jews and other targets of Nazi hate. Among other things, it sought to promote unity – and increased production of goods and good Germans – during wartime.

The predatory/protective eagle denotes the Party, as does the smiling, happy, nuclear family. That family also denotes the Aryan Christians, who alone make up the Party and the German national community. The imagery conflates power, exclusivity, protection, fecundity, familial and communal closeness, and acceptance – but only for Aryan Christians. It implies that Nazis behave within familiar social bounds. Wrong on all counts, but a powerful message, like much of Bush’s propaganda.

The imagery would have sent a visceral, direct message. The text alone doesn’t, but it does use heavily emotive words, Volksgenossen, Volksgemeinschaft, with no good English counterparts. Roughly translated, it’s pedestrian: “The National Socialist Party secures our racially pure national community. Comrades! Turn to your regional Party organization for advice and help.”

The poster can be found at:
http://www.akustische-chronik……rsion.htm#

Well said.

The other thing I like about the selection of a wartime Nazi Party recruiting poster is that it’s symbolic of the narrow range of Amerikans the GOP would like to recruit.

Yup, yup and yup.

That’s why I picked this particular image: Triumph of the Swill. Also, it’s about using the whole “protect/focus on the family” (especially the Purity of the Family!) as a distractive device to hide the nasty things they’re plotting and doing.

“Daddy, do all gay prostitutes work out of the White House passing themselves off as reporters ?
