The Republics all hate America and want all of us to go down the toilet because we booted them out of power. I have seen more mature and rationale 3 year olds.

julia asked me to extend her apologies for not being here tonight pups.

ya’ll will have to make do with me standing in for her tonight.

Dugg right here — you can too!

Because if you think — people on our side I’m talking to you — those of you who think Jindal was horrible [in his response to Obama’s address to Congress - and yes, everyone did], you think — in fact, I don’t ever want to hear from you ever again.

That’s a big tent ya got there, you ceaseless twerp.

Dugg, Teddy!

dugg – thanks teddy for opening the digg

You know, if the GOP could chase African Americans out of all of America the way they did out of Louisiana during Katrina, maybe they’d have a fighting chance at recovering power by listening to Rush Limbaugh.

Now, not so much.

You are welcome, ma’m!

Alright, a substitute teacher! Break out the spitballs!

hitting emergency button that activates anti-spitball force field

teh Gooper response to Katrina must have been awesome and blessed. Piyush said so.

You, know that we have quite a pattern here. Limballs and Jindal calling for the president (and America to fail), Bachman (R-Batshit Crazy) calling for a revolution. I think we have proof positive of a seditious movement underfoot.

Shield (actually a sneeze-guard I swiped from Sizzler™) engaged, Suzanne.

fuckery

Treasonous fuckery!

republic treasonous fuckery

how is everyone doing tonight?

Meh. Have had some kind of ick for the past couple of weeks. Doctor gave me some antibiotics today and we will see. It is now spring break and they are predicting snow for the next week.

Now Suz, just because you left the dark side doesn’t mean there aren’t some perfectly decent but deluded folks over there.

I will say though – if my party’s standard-bearers were anything like this crew – infallible Steele, awesomely-awful Limbaugh, batshit-crazy Michele… I would be inconsolable and ripe for recruitment.

Over here, we got Man-of-granite Reid, Constitutionally-sound Pelosi, etc.

“Wake up, newt, wake up. You’ll be late for school.”

Sent Mr. Reid a sternly worded email today regarding his comments about progressive groups pushing back on the new Republican Lite Democratic caucus. Told him to sit down, shut up, listen and do what the people told him to do.

harry ‘glass jaw’ reid

I think that is more appropriately Harry “Jellyfish” Reid: no backbone, guts, or balls.

Harry Reid: The man who, if he had 91 Senators of his party, could not wrest control of the Senate from McConnell. He is perhaps the most disappointing of all. That said, picking a pro-birth Nevada dumpkus as MajLeader was so flippin brilliant…

if we cally BJ…PLUSH,and Limpballs RUSH…wehave PLUSH and RUSH,and chimpie as LUSH

I get the impression Bachmann has some wild idea that the current confusion in GOP ranks is an opportunity for her to advance and help fill the leadership vacuum. Naturally, she is impervious to the fact that every time she opens her mouth she appears increasingly unhinged and makes other Republicans look comparatively sane. I hope someone is making arrangements to book her a room at the asylum, perhaps her roommate will be her (formerly) conjoined twin Katharine Harris.

what’s the term for those who have been in the ring too long – punch drunk? whatever it is, harry needs to retire.

They’re predicting freaking snow here in central Illinois tomorrow night. So much for my Spring flowers. The trees and shrubbery are all just beginning to leaf out too. Oh, the humanity!

snow? yikes – makes my rain much easier to bear

Alternatively, she is simply batshit crazy and has no idea what she is doing or why. A far simpler and more elegant explanation IMHO.

She and Vitter are on the same track. Say a lot, say it like you are the voice of gawd-like outrage, and it doesn’t really matter what you say.
Bluster will get you by your image problems as long as you keep.on.pounding.away.

They are predicting it here for all of spring break.

Harry employs the same strategy as Senate leader that served him in his boxing days. Let his opponents beat the hell out of him hoping they’ll tire themselves out and fall over. Works just as well now as it did back then.

If we put Harry, Michele, Boner Boehner and Cantor on the same bus out of town, I’m thinking we could get the group pricing.

His peers chose Harry for a reason, though. They must still love him; remember that all the gains in the Senate the last two elections are due to to Harry’s wonderful leadership, in their view.

this guy was on Moyers tonite,just awesome

williamgreider.com/

That’s our Harry, ever the masterful strategist.

delusional

i’m not sure which is worse: having harry as a leader or having rush as a leader

He IS a Mormon. It sort of comes with the territory.

my cat as awful breath….phoooey

I think this might be a link to the clip. Greider is good, alright.

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/jour…..ofile.html

hahahaha tru dat

I would make a distinction between what they (Senate Dems) know to be true – that Goopers are lost in space and wins are there for the taking when Howard Dean runs the show – and what is practical – that a face-off with Senate Goopers is something they won’t contemplate because they have no fight, and many are ‘Conservative’.

They are weak. They have no balls at all.

never saw him before….abfab!!

Yes, but these are the people who cannot figure out that the fact that the voters gave them substantial majorities in the House and the Senate, as well as the White house, and support progressive positions by 60-70% means they want you to pursue a progressive agenda.

Rush is definitely worse. Anybody who follows him risks a fate like this.

Maybe Harry has worn out his magic undies. We should take up a collection and buy him a new set.

i wonder if they have to kiss his cyst (instead of his ring) or some other humiliating acknowledgment of his overwhelming awesomeness

My little girl cat has a cold, so her appetite is off. Which means that her big brother has to take up the work of reminding us that dinnertime is approaching. That is supposed to be her job and he resents this very much…

*waves* Suze-standing in-for-Julia! Pups!

gah. bat-shit-crazy bachmann. I hope her district gets un-gerrymandered. It’s as contorted and nutso as her thinking process (or lack of).

They don’t care. The only time progressives get a reach-around is when an election is imminent.

voters ,they serve their corporate masters…….period,watch the Moyers clip,Greider sez asa much

Pass the bleach, please.

Harry enjoys being Marshmallow fluff…another sinecure

Not even then. All they get is the promise of a reach around that never materializes.

Every cat I’ve ever known starts lobbying for dinner right after breakfast.

awwwwwwwww,how do you rid her of the cold,or just giveer smelly canned salmon
…………g

Palin-Jindal 2012. Bachmann: Secretary of Tinfoil Hats.

I’m going to get started on the bumper stickers.

the brain bleach buttons are located next to each power strip. they are big and red and say brain bleach on them – press once for regular and twice for double strength.

not Joe Plumber,for Sec of State

Coincidentally, the broken promises can also cause chafing.

it actually persisted to the point that i took her to the vets and am giving her antibiotics. not really happy about that but she’s responding and her runny nose and eyes are finally clearing up.

Glenn Beck press secretary

I think he’d be good for Sec of Labor, what with all that plumbing experience. Besides, he’s the new spokesman to lobby against the evils of EFCA.

sand in the vaseline

I like it. There’s got to be a place for Billo, too.

Evenin’ all !

Since we’re piling on Reid(and justly deserved) … Reid: Justice Roberts lied to us !

No.Shit.Sherlock

There may be hope for me yet. 8-)

Or Secretary of Offense.

happened to my Jolie,wen she was a baby,i did the same,hope she is better soon!

Except that they keep forgetting the vaseline part.

and we will need sarah palin for sec of state – she can see russia from her living room yano. also.

All Welcome The Substitute!

thanks!

Sec of the Interior….for dirtyoldmen

ha! hey mr why

“Roberts didn’t tell us the truth. At least Alito told us who he was,” Reid said, referring to Samuel Alito, the second Supreme Court justice nominated by President George W. Bush. “But we’re stuck with those two young men, and we’ll try to change by having some moderates in the federal courts system as time goes on — I think that will happen.”

Well. How did we ever get here?

Speaking of The Trouble With Harry, I thought this was rich.

Reid: Justice Roberts Lied To Us

Who could have predicted a Bush SCOTUS nominee was lying when he promised not to be a conservative asshole? Not to mention the speed with which the realization dawned on Harry… pure GENIUS!

Time for me to head out. Take care all.

And if she’s challenged by Russia, she can simply say, “thanks, but no thanks.” And then wink at Putin. That’s a good strategy.

nite doctor

Looks like I owe ya a drink. What’s your pleasure?

G’nite, good luck beating the bug.

Maybe we should rename Reid “Mr. Thunderbolt”, given the lighting speed with which his mind grasps things like this.

oh jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeebus,remove the grease paint from this Paglliacio

DD buena notte

Wow, I have no recollection of Pete playing a Telecaster. Bet it would be worth some dough today if it wasn’t one he smashed.

g’nite dr dick – hope ya feel better soon

Exactly … Reid is basically saying “no one could have anticipated Roberts’ actions” when everyone here did anticipate Roberts’ future actions.

pagliaccio

G’nite Sir !

Milk … in a dirty glass !

saw one for 250,000 on Antiques roadshow

I’ll tell everybody you weren’t a CHEAP date… just inexpensive.

Well. How did we ever get here?

And most disappointingly, Russ Feingold isn’t covered with glory wrt Roberts. He was all for confirmation on grounds of qualifications alone. And while I take his point, I don’t think US Senators can divorce themselves from their instincts.

So, what gives, Russ?

Yeah, the prices vintage Fenders are fetching is astounding. Throw in the fact that it was owned by a rock star…

Feingold and Durbin have made some dumbass calls, which is puzzling, considering how smart they’re supposed to be.

Time for this one to power down. Wishing a splendid weekend to all.

The Beltway cuts off oxygen to the brain.

2 words
federalist socety…nuff said

Unless they expected a grotesque ideologue as the next nominee, and had assurances from Harry that they would put up a very big fuss (which predictably did not materialize), I do not get their support for Roberts.

100 was to you

take good care RF

g’nite ratfood

I’m sure they got that threat from BushCo but they had to know they could outwit Dubya.

Fish rots from the head.

nite rat

tru dat,what a crew of evil pox ridden shite

again
must see tv

http://www.pbs.org/moyers/jour…..ofile.html

now airing here in oregon. am watching moyers now.

DLoading the vodcast now. thanks.

Then Feingold comes out today and says that Obama’s latest plan to defeat Al Qaeda is too Afghan- centric.

ENJOY

ot

A former U.N. official who oversaw reconstruction funds in Afghanistan diverted half a million dollars from roads, schools and clinics to fund his luxury lifestyle, according to a confidential internal U.N. investigation.

The U.N. Procurement Task Force accused Gary K. Helseth, an American who headed the U.N. Office for Project Services (UNOPS) in Afghanistan from 2002 to 2006, in December of using the funds for lavish purchases, including first-class flights to Las Vegas and meals in posh restaurants in Copenhagen, Dubai, Florence and New York. Helseth oversaw more than $1 billion in reconstruction funds contributed by the United States and other international donors after the fall of the Taliban.

Sadlyyes !

Bill Moyers is a National Treasure !

i lovehim …and you

and he knows what to do when bill o sends a stalker cam after him

I saw that over at Raw.
I heard someone else today, trying to find, suggesting that Afghanistan would become a strategic base from which GWOT operations would revolve. Pakistan would be the focus.

I remember now – it was Joe Sestak on Shuster’s show.

why doesnt my BOLD …LOVE …work? wahhhhhhhhh

are ya letting the page fully load before trying to use the buttons?

morpheus is spreading sleepy dust in mine eyes…night deers

g’nite sadly

uhm…ill try this on the morrow…g

Suz !

That was amazing. Has the reporter from Think Progress files charges against BillO yet ?

*mwaah* … G’nite !

Afghanistan has to be the strategic base, esp if they’re serious about getting out of Iraq. I don’t know why Feingold feels the need to rap BO’s knuckles on this when so many of them were silent during the Bush years.

not that i heard of – but i did hear that billo lost ups as a sponsor :)

I saw that earlier … let’s hope a lot more sponsors leave Billafel’s show …

I understand the utility of Afghanistan as a launch-point for operations in Pakistan – if that doesn’t give you a shudder, nothing will – but it seems to me that Sestak, and anyone who subscribes to that plan, is hinging some pretty tenuous ‘ifs’ on the future of Afghanistan, near and long-term.

It’s the only option Obama has to justify hitting militants in Pakistan … that’s why I don’t understand Feingold’s criticism.

btw … ygm

i would love to see a mass exodus of advertisers from billo and rushbo

i would also like world peace and for reality to permeate dc

LOL !!!

Russ is hard to figure, I give you that.

Were these the guys who devised AIG’s MO … Prisoners should have keys to their cells

I’m with limbaugh on this one (but for different reasons) – republicans should continue to shout from sea to shining sea how they want Obama to fail. It highlights in a very public way so much of what is wrong with republicans: their cravenness, their hypocrisy, their self-absorption, their desire not to be helpful, their rotten to the coreness, etc.

Average Americans of all stripes don’t want the president to fail because they don’t want America to fail and because they identify with the presidency conflating the office and the person. They will not take kindly to public displays of rooting for failure. Doing so will only continue to help shrink republicans back under their rock from where they came and belong. The backlash can only help push them further into the wilderness of the land of the screaming loons.

Those who give credance to this baffoon, ‘and you know who you are’, should be pelted with shit, then slapped for stinking.
