UMass shows proper respect for Card at Commencement May 26, 2007:

Oh, well, need coffee before posting. Attaturk’s link covers it.

Look — Alberto and Andy did go to the hospital to bully Ashcroft hours after his surgery, but they did it in their church clothes, so it’s OK.

He had trhe balls to address UMass after that?

Goes to show you the hubris of these people. They could care less about anyone but themselves and their suck ups.

I saw him talking on a cellphone one morning in Newport RI and I was trying to think if I should pie him or spit in his face or ignore him. My wife was there so I restrained myself. Can’t stand the guy or anyone in the W crowd. They need to be pie’d constantly.

They need to be pie’d constantly.

It would be best if we could arrange for that to happen in the Hague, n’est pas?

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins, Kristof and Cohen today. Ms. Collins has “An Ode to the Stimulus Bill.” She asks what’s not to like about the stimulus bill? That it’s messy? Her desk is messy. Everything Congress ever touches is messy. Mr. Kristof, writing from Myawaddy, Myanmar, writes about “Sneaking in Where Thugs Rule.” He says a new U.S. policy toward Myanmar should involve sanctions specifically targeting individuals close to the regime – and, even more, a clampdown on arms imports. Mr. Cohen, writing from Tehran, addresses “The Unthinkable Option,” and says in the effort to get Iran to stop its nuclear weapons program, the U.S. military option is not an option. It is unthinkable.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got a big pan of warm gingerbread with either whipped cream or homemade applesauce. Gingerbread makes me feel warm and cozy, which I really need this morning since it’s 23 freaking degrees outside, with a wind chill of 16. I realize that might sound downright warm to some of y’all, but my blood has gotten very thin. Thank heaven for hot tea! Have a great day, and stay warm.

peed on too

We need a national unofficial policy to pie all former BushCos. They need to know that they are not free to walk anywhere in America without a protective pie shield.

And it’s good for the baking business too. Econo stimulus at work.

Mornin’, pups -

AP acts like its usual asshole self by alleging copyright infringement with Fairey’s portrait of Obama:

Milbank (wapoo) has a really snarky opinion about Markopolos and yesterday’s hearing; left that piece of trash where I read it. :-(

Hey, guy; how ya been keepin’? Haven’t seen you around for a while…..get moved to new digs?

I’ll take the home made applesauce to go with my ZERO degrees and a wind chill of “too bloody cold to breathe”.

I’ll take a piece of that gingerbread off your hands, if you please, ma’am.

Zero forkin’ degrees here and lower with wind chill but they’re predicting 50’s by Saturday. Wham! Bamb! winter to spring in 48 hours = crazy making.

Hi pups,

Jesuits tried the old dress code mind trick on us in high school.

Luckily I was able to resist.

They wanted you to “cross dress” as they do?

DIGG is open

Thanks, Attaturk. IMO Bush should have been impeached when he made those jokes about “those WMDs gotta be here somewhere…”.

And as for the coats: Isn’t the lie that will live forever that official portrait of W in his shirtsleeves? Champion vacationer, go-play boy and time-waster…

Yeah, they were always looking to ship someone off to their seminary.

Thanking my lucky stars to this day. *g*

IOKIYAR

And why the hell doesn’t someone point that out when the suit&tie subject comes up? Oh, nevermind…it’s too early for me to be asking seriously stoopid questions.

Awwwww how cute, the Bush Regime wore suit jackets while pulling their suit pants down to crap on the nation. Oh yeah! That’s respecting Americans for sure!

Good Morning. All the above is why we need to indict some of these people. They’re a cancer that needs to be destroyed. What’s going on with Tom Delay?

DIGG is open (for real this time)

Do you have a link to the Milbank article? I’d love to read it! I was just over there and couldn’t find it. ;-)

What’s up with CBS having all kinds of right-wingers on their Early show? I switched channels when they said Bill O’Reilly was coming up and now they have Steve Forbes on. They also regularly have some woman from Fox’s financial channel. What’s up with that?

I noticed in a WaPo story this morning that Tom Feeney has Karl Rove’s lawyer Luskin as his own lawyer. Looks like the GOP have their very own “mafia” lawyer.

Ruling Favors Ex-Congressman and Could Limit Other Investigations

“Those weapons of mass destruction have got to be here somewhere.”

And let’s not forget outing a CIA agent working on WMD’s in the Middle East in a time of war.
That’s certainly the way to restore trust and dignity to the Oval Office.

This story really defines the Bush administration. Rather than focusing on competency it was all about appearances that could fool the public. It’s all about the snow job. It kind of reminds you of junior high when you included pictures in your report when you had to disguise that it was short on substance.

I’m not gonna go read it but I wonder if he writes anything about Panel 2, where Ackerman rips the SEC toadies a new asshole. Even the Rethugs on the committee laid into them. I don’t think any of the toadies arrived home in a good mood yesterday. It was just lovely to watch. I even made the tigers wait for dinner while I watched the whole thing again.

Andrew Card Cousin Arrested for Spying for Iraq

A second cousin of President Bush’s chief of staff Andrew Card has been arrested on charges that she spied for the Iraqi government. The woman, Susan Lindauer, was taken into custody by the FBI after she was charged with acting as an agent for the Iraqi intelligence service. Government officials said Lindauer accepted $10,000 from Iraq, traveled to Baghdad and delivered a letter from the Iraqi government to Andrew Card before the invasion in an apparent attempt to stop the attack. As she was being led out of a court house yesterday she said “I’ve done good things for this country; I worked to get the weapons inspectors back to Iraq. When everybody said it was impossible, I worked to do it, and I’m very proud and I will very proudly stand by my achievements. I’m an antiwar activist, and I’m innocent. I’ve done more to stop terrorism in this country than anybody else.” Lindauer used to write for Fortune and U.S. News and World Reports and worked as an aide to several Capitol Hill legislators including Senator Carol Moseley Braun and Oregon Democratic congressmen, Peter DeFazio and Ron Wyden.

But here’s to the true story about how she was trying to keep the US from invading Iraq by revealing that they had no weapons of mass destruction, and how Card let her rot in jail until the end of the Bush Administration:

http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0901/S00210.htm

A recent online interview she conducted with Gary Franchi of Lone Lantern Society Of America, which I watched less than two weeks ago, has been scrubbed from the internet, as has any mention of it.

So Bush is the anti-Truman. A failure as President that might have been a haberdasher.

Bush as the anti-Truman. What a great observation!

Bush pardoned her

yeah, andy card is the person to opine on ‘respect’. fuck him.:

“Go get me Andy Card,” Bush said to one of the Secret Service agents. Card, the designee as chief of staff, entered from an adjoining room. Along with Cheney, Card was running the transition, and he had a long history, having served every Republican President since Ronald Reagan took office. He is stolid and jovial, a man of solid, loyal character.

Bush looked impatiently at Card, hard-eyed. “You’re the chief of staff. You think you’re up to getting us some cheeseburgers?”

Card nodded. No one laughed. He all but raced out of the room.

As for the missing Susan Lindauer (second-cousin of Andy Card) interview, and in fact the entire site the interview was on, here’s what the CIA does when a true whistleblower outs them and really piss them off:

http://www.lonelanternsociety.org/explain02.htm

I saw that video, plunger, and read all about what she had tried to do to stop the invasion, her imprisonment at Carswell AFB in the psych ward, and her 11 letters to Andy Card about the true facts in Iraq. If he had been an honorable man, the invasion would never have occured.

I’ll go back and read your link, but from what you state, Bush/Cheney are still determined to destroy her; arrested again yesterday???

KayinMaine (if you’re still about) -

Here’s the milbank article:

test

And Katie has Dan Bartlett as a regular…so he can whine and smirk, I think. Agreeing with you: what are they thinking? And had Card on to talk during the Inaugural….how disrespectful can you get. Trying to inject his stupidity into the new day.

The video is here.
