You can’t make that stuff up…and that Mika ain’t the sharpest bulb on the tree or the brightest knife in the drawer either…shit, Mika’s old man is Zebignew Bski it’s a good thing she got the blond hair ‘cuz she looks jest like the old man…so ugly she’s gotta sneak up on a glass a water.

Have a merry fuckin’ Xmas Attaturk…

I always wondered if that befuddled look on her face when Joe repeats one his classics, “This is a center right country”, The Clinton “investigation” wasn’t about sex”, etc., was from genuine frustration at knowing she can’t say what’s on her mind or if nothing’s on her mind.

Good morniing Attatrk and thanks for the post.

IMO joe scary is a moron. Not willfully ignorant. Fucking stupid.

Morning, Norske.

Don’t be hating on Mika. She’s not stupid. She went to Georgetown and transferred to Williams. Joe both carries the show with his sophomoric antics and filibusters 70% of the time. Mika’s dad told Joe to let her speak more often.

Scar used to be my maximum five minutes/day foray into wingnut country but it’s gotten so much worse, I can’t stomach even that. Do you watch it enough to know whether there is some weird underlying tension between mike and her father? Or just a strange vibe I’m imagining?

Did I wake up yet? mike = mika

Citizen Waccamaw:

Yeah…the old goat generates some kinda tension from the kid…awe they’re all full of shit and they all have the brains of an anethsetized rock!! Fuckin’ beltway bimbos and dorks…shows ya what ken happen when parents eat too many cocktail weenies…big time birth defects!

Bush strikes again. The EPA is allowing cruise ships to dump their untreated waste one mile offshore.

Of course there’s the odd story of the intern that died in JoeScar’s office:

The JoeScar campaign’s official responses were especially weird.

Might as well start the day with a little self-torture so just clicked on scar where everyone’s screaming “What happened to the bail-out money; why is there no accountability?”….. blah, blah, blah. After running thru the list of everyone who’s responsible (tis the season of miracles, pups), scar actually said media was among those responsible and included himself in that group. ‘Course that won’t keep him from running his mouth for the next two plus hours about nothing of consequence like he always does. Gee, why would he ever have time to actually report or ask questions *before* the freakin’ fact?!?

Citizen bonkers:

I remember that case…was the husband bought off or did the family ever demand any investigation? With the airplane crashes of Senators and the plane crash that took down the tech who was turnin state’s evidence on Rove I think the whole of Washington and the rulin’ establishment is a toxic waste dump.

Good morning, pups. It’s Warner and Herbert today. Merry Christmas! Happy Channukah! Bobo is off today — savor the gift. Ms. Warner asks “Do You Believe?” She says there is too much reason and self-awareness. Too little wonder, marvel and faith — in the largest and vaguest sense of the word. Mr. Herbert, in “A Race to the Bottom,” says it’s time we refocused our lens on American workers and tried to see them in a fairer, more appreciative light. Gee, ya think?

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got sweet potato and pecan muffins today. It’s cold here this morning, at 33°, which at least makes it feel like Christmas more than the 70’s we’ve been having lately. Have a great day.

Morning Marion. You know it is not easy to write a column about the bloody obvious it takes skill and training and a secretary that is willing to do the typing.

I need more hot choc as it is only 8 degrees here and the cats are pissed that they can’t go out and have left their opinion of me in the litter.

I assume that MS Warner is not writing about “awareness” in the WH. As for faith, well I’ll leave that up to the dingbats that don’t have a brain.

I believe it is BEADY, not beedy. His eyes, like his logic, are narrow-minded.

Morning, I had to defrost first before I could get out of bed

Mika’s dad’s on.

I just walked through and watched that for minute. Mika’s role is weird. She was marking and underling things on Scarborough’s notes, like a secretary. She occasionally gave perfunctory nods at what her father said until she was finished. Then she listened with an expression indicating that she had not previously been aware of her father’s viewpoints and found them interesting and enlightening. Her role is really strange.

Just think of the rail network we could have if the oil and auto industries hadn’t been so successful in destroying mass transit and rail transport in the 50’s and 60s.

She’s pretty much a potted plant and relies waaay too much on facial expressions rather than dialogue. I think part of it is she’s been put down so much by JoeScar. He’s mocked her and laughed at her for all the world to see. So she’s learned to just shut up. Imagine Rachel in that spot.

Homeland Security USA..a reality show.

oh I know, Hope we make up for it now.

It’s not gonna be long and we’re gonna be stuck with teebee like that shown on Max Headroom, all game and reality shows to keep the great unwashed masses anesthetized.

LOL, guess what went up in retail this holiday season…….shoplifting.

Before i left for work Joe and Buchanan and Capeheart were having a wonderful discussion of gay rights. Joe and Buchanan were basically giving capeheart the third degree and trying to get him to understand that gay people can marry. . . women. It was a sad display of ’southern’ hospitality.

One of the biggest roadblocks besides money is the people who don’t want to give up their gas guzzlers. Not too long ago one of the panelists on a local PBS news show is the editor of a local Spanish language paper. He’s all talkin’ mass transit and then says he doesn’t want to give up driving his SUV. Oy vey.

Imagine that. *g*

goin’ swimmin’

Are you outta your mind? Have you stuck yer toes outside the abode this mornin’? Or you got an indoor pool? *g*

I sent this email to “morning joe” on November 3rd, and have not tuned in since:

I will wake up gleefully tomorrow morning knowing I will not tune into the McCain/Palin show, aka Morning Joe ever again. Gone are the days I will subject myself to the pompous insufferable troika of shills and their sidekicks feigning neutrality when, in fact, they are bought and paid for stenographers for the GOP corporate media, or worse, true supporters of the racist hate ticket. Scarborough can barely conceal his hillbilly bigotry–repeatedly and contemptuously sighting the “Bradley Effect” with his vile Floridian drawl, whilst fawning over warmongering thugs the likes of “Likud” Joe Lieberman.

I will not for an instant miss the stomach churning arrogance of Scarborough pandering for McCain, Mika’s secret lust for Sarah Palin, or Mika shamelessly worshiping her own image on the monitor as her pastel peach lip gloss drips onto the desk, or the despicable little gerbil Willie Geist, who was seen campaigning for McCain on the Upper West Side this weekend. Like his politics or not, Pat Buchanan is the only honest one in the bunch and a breath of fresh air.

These people are the worst kind of frauds. Subversive liars. At least the folks at Fox make no bones about what they are.

hillbilly bigotry

So it’s OK to be bigoted against poor, uneducated white people?

Oh, and Pat Spewcannon is far from honest. His supposed populist streak is hysterical when he trots it out as the political tides shift in that direction. Pat couldn’t care less about blue collar folks.
