Bayh Bye!

Bipartisan:

When Democrats and Republicans together decide to send thousands of men and women to their deaths based on a lie.

(Okay, maybe that’s not my favorite definition, but I’m a little pissed off this morning)

That definition works for me. Hawai’i and Alaska are probably the two most politically corrupt states, which is what happens when you have one party ruling. It seems perfectly obvious to me that Inouye would stick up for Stevens, they’re birds of a feather.

Fabulous gown, and a shape that makes it. It will be nice to see some style in the WH. Hasn’t been much since Jackie Kennedy held court there. Ah, Camelot!

Latest poll has Obama within 1 in Indiana.

yay, us! Kicking and screaming, but still slowly entering the 21st century.

uggghhh, – Evan Duh-Bayh on my teevee.

morning Jane.

Morning Jane.

Lotta nonsense goin’ on these days.

Why is it the pollsters dare not hazard the slightest guess, at least in public, that normal regular voters are avoiding their silly questions like the plague or, alternatively, spouting gibberish born of rage against the system?

Surely wouldn’t want to put themselves outta bidness, i guess.

I’ll participate in one kind of poll – on election day. Period!

Bi-Partisan = Incumbent protection racket with the ancillary design of giving Dean Broder a chubby.

OT Jane, I noticed on Facebook that today is the birthday of one Kobe Matisse Rose. Are the girls treating him as a king today?

You don’t like Pickles’ librarian wardrobe? s/

Bipartisanship: when the democrats and republicans work together to continue the myth that the citizens actually have a say about how the government rules/works.
Some days I fear it’s all just a game. Fixed. Big guns with deep pockets get all the say.

My friends, wouldn’t my wife make a great Snorgtee model?

-Johnny McMaverick

Ha. She’s a little old.
How about snarktee model?

OT – jury about to deliver verdict is Hamdan case…

anyone for a wee wager? heh.

Inouye to campaign for Ted Toobz. My favorite definition of bipartisan is when Republicans and Democrats get together to rip you off. What’s yours?

So, is he going to go to the Rethug convention with Liarman? Are we considering kicking him out of the party along with Liarman? Or are we just going to check out how much graft he may be receiving or whether he’s fallen prey to corrupt political practices as much as Stevens has? It does seem to be time for him to make a choice regarding who he should be hanging out with.

poor poor lawruh. she prolly hasn’t gotten over some kind soul’s suggestion hereabouts, that she drapes herself in upholstery. (a la Carol Burnett’s “ScarletO”?!)

then there’s poor hill. Got criticized repeatedly for not having MerelinMonroe-esque gams, so she took that issue off the table by switching to pant-suits, thereby setting off another firestorm about who wears the pants in her fambly.

Substance please, MSM, with a dash of piquant chatter, just a smidgeon. *sigh*

Deep Thanks for this blog, Jane. You help keep the world a little saner than it would otherwise be.

Conservatism? – You’re soaking in it! NPR “covered” the Ivins Anthrax caper this morning. As I listened, I tried to imagine myself as a conservative – lapping up every word – trying to believe the fairy tale that Ivins was the lone culprit. How fortunate it was that he committed suicide!

Still pretending that I was a conservative Fox News afficionado, I harkened back to the deluge of “news” reports that screamed that Saddam was responsible for the anthrax attacks. Then, my head exploded.

Jane, thanks for that blast from the past on don’t be fuelish. That was sloshing around the nether reaches of my brain but I couldn’t figure out when I’d seen the tire inflation thingy before.

Now let’s hope that Obama doesn’t mirror Prez Ford’s Whip Inflation Now.

Hi Demi.

Shame on you yestidie! *g*

We should start an official Mutual Admiration Society.

“My favorite definition of bipartisan is when Republicans and Democrats get together to rip you off. “

Perfect.

wow. had mercifully forgotten that one also. thanks for the reminder, i think. heh.

Old wrinkly guys united

Good Morning Jane and Firedogs,

that “suspiciously large donations” story mentions Bundler touting business connection to ‘former OBL Unit Chief’ but doesn’t mention by name -

is it Michael Scheuer ? would find it difficult to believe he supports McScum in any way although the money would be phat

well. sadly, t’is all too true. when they make such announcements and start fluffing their hairpieces, u just KNOW they’re up to something self-serving and probably nefarious.

Was thinking about Carol and the drapes just about 5 minutes ago – it still makes me weak from laughing. I just think Pickles was/is drab. No flair, no style, no nothing. As for Hill’s pantsuits I say “let’s all talk about something that is about as important as dust” – the good old MSM – you can depend on them to get it wrong and silly.

What shall be done about Democrats who support Republicans instead of Democrats? Like Debbie Wasserman Shultz? She’s suporting Ileana Ros Lihtenen over an up and coming Dem challenger. It would be fantastic to take that seat from the hateful bushbot Ros Lihtenen. This incumbent protection racket gave us Joe Lieberman(I). Its got to be stopped.

Then there’s Obama and the Georgia race, supporting an incumbent Bush rubber stamp over a progressive Democrat there.

s’cuse, i’m gonna go hide under the bed.

I find it hard to come down too hard on Daniel Inouye without any further evidence regarding misdeeds of his own. As a Nisai, with his family placed in an encamptment, he won the Congressional Medal of Honor and lost an arm. He has been a life long Democrat, has alternated with Stevens reapeatedly as chairman and ranking member of the Senate Commerce Committee. He dates from a time when you could get along with the opposition, although you disagree politically and it has been known that he and Stevens were best friends. It was also a time when it was viewed that the legislators were supposed to bring home the bacon for their constituencies (see Harry Byrd). I first came to know of him in the Senate Watergate hearings, where he was staunchly on the side of right.

I’ll oppose him if anything comes out about corruption or that he’s been a routine Republcan supporter. Even though I don’t see it, I’m not comming down on him because he likes Stevens.

What in the world does that mean? Jobs are jobs and right now there are not enough of them.

did i mention? our tv burst out in clouds of smoke during the MSM news a couple days ago? no harm, only mirth. the newsies were twittering nonsense, and we got to the plug PDQ.

so, respect yer tv, folks. don’t subject it to that garbage. heh.

When Ronnie Raygun was running for pres there was a company strongly supporting him, can’t remember the name but their TV ad was if you don’t own an oil well – get one. They went belly up right after the campaign.
GWB was supported mightily by Enron.

Where is the $ coming from this time?

Hamdan guilty! surprise surprise

Western_Company_of_North_America

All Roads lead to a wacky alcoholic scientist who hated women but loved sorority girls.

All those reports about Saddam and his special bentonite (that was never there) ingredient that linked the anthrax to Saddam?

AP is not gonna go there.

Its all about the lunatic American scientist whom everyone knew was a lunatic with high level security clearance.

Where is the $ coming from this time?

IFthese “bundler stories” do not fade in to the Paris Makes An Ad mist – McScum is in lots of trouble

an Oil Services Company office manager, who drives a 15 yo car and lives in a rented apartment in Queens gave $28K and so did her husband, an Amtrak employee ?!?!

reeks !

The article about McCain’s bundlers is really good, and hilarious. This is what I ask of the MSM, and they put it on the front page, so kudos.

Inouye can like Stevens all he wants but that does not explain or justify why Inouye a Democrat would campaign for Stevens a crook. Inouye is a war hero. So is former Representative Duke Cunningham who is now serving time in prison. So is John McCain the manipulative, sleazeball the Republicans are running for President.

At what point and for how long do we let the war records of these guys make up for their deficiencies as lawmakers?

Is that a death penalty?

not a death penalty eligible charge. Just “back to your cell, asshole”.

I don’t think I advocated just going by his war record. I noted that I first became familiar with him during the Watergate hearings and I wish we had enough Democrats today perform the way he did in those. I also said, if I find out he’s been supporting Republicans on many things, I would opposed him on that ground. I won’t because he “campaigns” for a lifelong friend of the other party; particulary when “campaign” is not defined. It may simply be his vouching his belief that his friend is innocent.

Before I lead any charges against him, there are a whole slew of Republcans against whom I can direct 100 percent of my disdain and enmity.

My LEAST favorite definition of bipartisan:

A Republican proposal endorsed by Joe Lieberman.

I wasn’t intending a criticism. I am just getting tired of politicians hiding behind their war records. However noble and courageous such actions were they often took place decades ago. And as we have seen over and over again they are not a very reliable indicator of character, legislative effectiveness, understanding of policy, or honesty.
