Mornin “Fuck” Joe, didn’t like “some” using cheap sexual innuendo to describe teabagging.

It’s interesting that the Mark Silva piece about Armitage now has the headline:

Richard Armitage: Bush’s CIA tortured

Earlier this morning it still had a headline similar to the Huffington Post headline that emphasized the I should have resigned BS.

This is the headline that I gave it on my blog post.

Armitage: Against Following “Rule of Law” for Torture, Favors “Remedial Corrections” Instead

ko non stop gets it, I wonder how he stays on msn, that’s the only part that doesn’t make sense to me

I do not believe you can chalk his presence up to his popularity, popularity doesn’t save you when you cost their sponsors billions and billions of dollars overcoming the public information ko offers

I just do not get it

I do get rachael, she does it with far more diplomacy, her snark is easy to take even for corporations being disparaged

however ko’s indignation has to be troublesome to those who sponsor msn so I really can’t figure out how he stays on the air.

in the mean time, I want to see him start holding obama’s feet to the fire more, I know he’s done it already but it needs to be done as much as possible

we need to make obama do what he promised

That’s only cuz he didn’t get teabagged. Even shaved his chin extra smooth for the occasion.

Looks like Tom “Flathead” Friedman’s income just took a huge hit. Wonder if he can maintain his McMansion on his book royalties and “journalist” salary.

Business news is indicating that AIG is negotiating to sell its auto unit to Zurich for $2 billion. This is a major unit. If AIG is going to repay the $180 billion that it owes us it would need to sell 89 similar units.

Per Mark Silva at The Swamp:

[…]

Armitage told Al Jazeera’s English television that no one at the State Department knew prisoners were being abused until the Abu Ghraib scandal revealed it to the world in April 2004. Congress is at least as much to blame as Bush administration officials for prisoner abuse, he said, because lawmakers failed to conduct rigorous oversight of any of it.

“”They weren’t doing their job,” he said.

And still aren’t.

President Barack Obama has put the brakes on CIA’s harshest interrogations, requiring the agency to follow the guidelines of the Army Field Manual. He also has demanded closure of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba within a year.

CIA Director Leon Panetta has tolld Congress that secret sites abroad where CIA prisoners had been water-boarded and interrogated with other tough tactics are being closed down, and that he has no intention of prosecuting any CIA employees for their role in a program deemed legal at the time.

Not only have Obama and Panetta immunized their war criminals, they have tenured them. So far as I know, nobody has been fired or even given an official reprimand for their part in this outrage. And the guy who presided over it, George Tenet, has been given a Medal of Freedom for his service.

Obama took an oath to uphold the Constitution, which tasks the president to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Coddling and rewarding criminals is a far cry from upholding the president’s constitutional job description.

Kieth nailed it.

Waiting for the shills to answer his charges while not holding breath.

That would be its auto insurance bit, right?

Out west as in parts near LA where you have family? If so, I wish we could have hooked up.

Es verdad

KO, well done.

Our local FOX did their duty and “covered” the “news” of the teabagging “protests” (that they organized).

The significance of this coverage in Ohio is that the Chase protest was not covered at all. One protest funded/organized by large corporate mouthpieces and $$$ and just screaming about taxes, while another protest, which really was grassroots based, addressed the inequity of bailing JP Morgan Chase and then Chase not assisting in the restructuring of Chrysler debt in order to avoid massive national job loss and the spiral of economic violence. Such decisions in these very challenging economic times (not to mention the great gains Chase will make with such downfall from CDS’s even though they are ‘cryin’ the blues about credit card losses) are irresponsible go against concerns for protecting our nation.

One protest protects big banks and then degrades the concept of fair taxation and cares nothing for jobs with a backdrop set with racial slurs and suggestions of violence.

The other, all about the economy and protecting jobs in the immediate future in order to protect the nation.

No one at FOX pointing out the disconnect of the teabag protests in terms of the national debt and kick-off of bailouts under Bush. This is simply manipulation of the masses for political gain.

Back to the significance, Ohio will loose 900,000 jobs. Not a peep from teabaggers on that.

It was a whirlwind. I did a presentation in Phoenix, drove down to Tucson to see an old friend, flew to LA for 2 days of family. I got to freeze my butt off at the Manhattan Beach Pier but got in a couple of decent waves. Back on the plane on easter so I could miss the Masters!

KO’s coverage of the teabagging rallies included a LOT of subtle and not-so- subtle double entendres. My favorite — I had to back up the TiVo twice to be sure I had heard him correctly — was “vas deferens” for “vast difference” (I think he was talking about either crowd size estimates or grass roots vs. astroturf, not sure which). I just about fell off the couch! And it obviously went right past the censors…

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

It appears that Gov. Goodhair forgot to breathe whilst tea-bagging…

Busy. What kind of presentation, may I ask?

But they remembered in Houston, with the help of thoughtful signs…
