Thanks Teddy!

Bob McDonnell earned his law degree from Pat Robertson’s Regent University Law School where he was taught to “think Christianly about the law.”…

Hell, we need us our very own indoctrinatin’ univ – Oh, wait – that’s what UCSanta Cruz is for.
Never mind.

This guy sounds like halfa clansman and halfa drug-addled, hooker-baiting preacher.

Bob McDonnell earned his law degree from Pat Robertson’s Regent University Law School-

I gather “earned” means that he ate the Cracker-Jacks?

Sent the link to my friend in VA. Thanks. He sounds like a horror show.

2) In 2003, McDonnell opposed the reappointment of Newport News Circuit Court Judge Verbena Askew, the first black female circuit court judge in the Commonwealth of Virginia, on the basis that she was rumored to be a lesbian and therefore may have violated Virginia’s “Crimes against Nature” statute which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court later that same year in the Lawrence v. Texas decision.

On July 28, 2008, a Justice Department report concluded that Goodling had violated federal law and Justice Department policy by discriminating against job applicants who weren’t Republican or conservative loyalists. Goodling improperly subjected candidates for certain career positions to the same politically based evaluation she used on candidates for political positions, the report concluded. In one instance, Justice investigators found, Goodling objected to hiring an assistant prosecutor in Washington because judging from his resume, he appeared to be a liberal Democrat. In another, she rejected an experienced terror prosecutor to work on counterterror issues at a Justice Department headquarters office “because of his wife’s political affiliations,”.In another case, colleagues said that Goodling blocked the appointment of a female prosecutor in Washington because she “believed the lawyer was involved in a lesbian relationship with her supervisor”, according to the report.“There was no romantic relationship,” said Lisa Banks[26], the attorney for Leslie Hagan, “but the rumors were pernicious and grew legs, and it cost her the job.”[27] Goodling may also face a criminal investigation into her conduct.[28] Hagan has since been rehired to her old job.[29

My bold these regency hires sure hate the lesbians. They are also incompetent from what we have seen of the Bush era Justice Dept it wasn’t Gonzo alone lots of Regency grads there messing things up.

Peas and carrots, things.
Nice catch.

On July 15, 2009, Washington Blade’s “The Latest” column reported that it was Goodling who asked Michael Elston to lead a 2006 screening committee for the Justice Department Summer Internship Program. The column goes on to describe an evaluation of apparent discriminatory application process similar to the 2007 attempts to remove Department attorneys based on non-qualifying criteria. The research shows that under Goodling/Elston 82% of applicants with liberal affiliations on their resume were rejected for the program while only 13% of applicants with conservative affiliations were rejected.

In an economy like this do we want another Regency Grad with a bias against hiring anyone but conservatives and from what we have seen by how the Justice Dept was run incompetent corrupt conservatives
in charge as Governor of hiring people to state jobs?
Bob gets the job Obama voters need not apply to a state job. African Americans need not apply Hispanics, Asians, etc Lesbians and Gays don’t even bother.

WWJH – Who would Jesus hate?

Kudos to Brad Pitt, who has been addressing this topic pretty regularly of late. Also ties in nicely with this post.

Brad Pitt: Religion Doesn’t Make Sense To Me, Gay Marriage Does

McDonnell and the people who support him have not yet realized that the tide has turned against them and they can’t stop it. We are moving, in some areas slowly, into a time when the young will take over and it will be very different. I think this is where some of the fear comes from – they know they are becoming irrelevant.

What do we know about his, uh “personal life”?

These phobes are all the same.

When Kyle Sampson and Goodling and Sara Taylor and Bradley Schlozman and Scott Jennings turn up in strong positions in the next Gooper administration, it will be because we didn’t strike them out this time around.

Hell, we barely have a Department of Justice now, 7 months into a Democratic administration. They are patient to a fault and will surely reemerge, just as Elliot Abrams and John Poindexter and Cheney and Rumsfeld did.

I’ve noticed a trend, and I’m sure many of you have as well – Every one of these jokers has dead eyes and empty, humorless smiles…Such a joyful little cult they hold membership in.

;>)

The subtext to modern conservatism is fear of change.

Do you believe in God? Are you gay? Have you cheated on your spouse? What’s your position on abortion? Should gays be allowed to marry? Have you contributed to Republican candidates? What kind of conservative are you?

Welcome to Bush’s Department of Justice. Those are just some of the questions that investigators think may have been asked during interviews for both career and political positions at the Department over the past three years.

Monica’s job questions at the Justice Dept does anyone doubt that Bob another Regency Law Grad who hates Lesbians won’t ask you these questions? Does anyone with a state job want Bob asking them these questions to see if they will keep their jobs?
Sure these questions are illegal but that did not stop Monica from asking these questions to lawyers who worked at the Freakin Justice Dept so just what chance does a state employee have.
Pretty soon you won’t be able to rake leaves for the state without signed testimony about your morals from a Protestant Pastor see you all in church next sunday.

Who wouldn’t Jesus hate is a lot shorter question to answer:) But are we talking my Jesus or the false hate filled God of the Fundies?

Thanks:)

I agree with that and it’s not like it’s not there to see. The young Cuban-Americans in south Florida are not like their grandparents. The old moustache petes are dying off and a new culture is emerging.

Ted was tired of getting sand kicked in his face so he ditched his girlfriend and started dating Charles Atlas.

“The Force is strong with this one” is my favourite of late. This one reminds me of an old cover to a Fu Manchu novel.

Lenny Bruce had a routine in which Christ and Moses return and scare the crap out of evangelical preachers.

The thing that stands out for me is that the Xianists choose to emulate the dictates of the patriarchal, vengeful God of the Old Testament. When asked about Jesus they manage to redirect the discussion back to the Old Testament tenets. Staunch believers in the Red Tent and all that.

Bob do we need another Regency Law grad (just why does Regency have a law school license aren’t they a second or third tier school?)
Saying I can’t recall as an answer to every scandal? Just what kind of ethics did Regency teach you and Monica?
How many times did Monica say she could not recall?

That sounds Awesome is there a link or is it on Itunes maybe?

Repression has an interesting effect on submerged personality traits. I suspect that many of these Regent grads who publicly espouse unforgiving sexual conformity have the equivalent of a pair of rubber wet suits and a suitcase of toys and ropes tucked in a very dark closet within their suburban cloisters.

It’s almost a cliche now…A shame, really – liberation of the self would go a long way toward combating the pernicious strain of bad mental health within the public discourse.

Part of this clip.

See SD’s link at 26.

Agreed They seek to have us live by old testament rules. They however when they are caught as Mark Sanford has shown is all about forgiveness when he’s caught.
That is the only time the New Testament gets a mention from them.

You surely aren’t suggesting that they have a normal sex life, are you? Horrors! “g”

My initial goal was to put my magic mirror out of business a while ago, but the zany bell curve just keeps getting steeper…It’s a very provocative time, subjectively speaking, and I hope it is provoking a lot of other people into an increased level of critical thinking as well.

;>)

Define normal.

;>)

Oh, yes. I’m waiting for this definition. :-)

I’m glad you didn’t.

Not the precise variation on the theme I was thinking of but that’s a nice collection of clips. The part about torture was on the money. If the Bushies had listened to Lenny they would have known that when you torture people they make stuff up.

This is what comes of drowning your sexual urges and expression. Denying your humanity is not life affirming. And it is no fun either.

two people smiling :)

We’re in our own horror movie with this ever-metastasizing zombie-making disease from hell. It never ends, only gets worse and worse ..

Oh well, on the bright side, I always wanted to be Steve McQueen ..

Two? Dang, I’ll never be normal.

Only two? Nobody wants to be left out, do they?

;>)

Are you a furry? That could be lots of people.

Not even in-between smiling at the other?

Dam millenialist conspiracy to infiltrate their brainwashed (or braindead) fanatical thug zombies into positions of power: McDonnell, C Street, 12,000 military officers, Goodling, Paulose, Ashcroft, Starr, Boykin, goodness knows who else. Why can’t these people confine themselves to shouting down (or threatening to shoot up) Town Halls and abortion clinics like the rest of their ilk? Unbelievable.

Hey Bob your a Christian school grad when Jesus said give all of your goods to the poor if you would be like me well Bob how can you be a Republican then?
Bob when you read the bible story of the Good Samaritan how can you not support Obama’s plan for Universal Health Care? how could a Christian not offer healthcare to Samaritians er I mean Illegal Immigrants who like Samaritians are hated by the people.
When Jesus said a richman has as less of a chance of going to heaven as a camel has of going through the eye of a needle just how Bob How do you square that with tax cuts for the rich?
When we are fighting 2 wars and are solders are getting electrocuted in the Shower because the Dick Cheney is to cheap to hire a Union Electrician?
Every Death of a solder due to equipment that was not there like bullet proof vests and armored humvees that a connected Republican contractor did not deliver on time to our troops.
Every death caused by defective equipment like the electric showers thats on the head of every GOPer who put tax cuts ahead of our troops!

On to the serious public policy stuff…
TBogg is upstairs!
Here we are now, entertain us

Thank You:)

Other? I have some foggy recollection.

Moderately fuzzy, maybe.

Yeah, I figured it was only a portion of the routine. Mayhaps I’ll look for the full routine tomorrow. I found the complete clip of “Thank You, Masked Man” a while ago. Back in the 70s indy theatres used to show it with “Bambi Meets Godzilla” before the feature.

I have the full version of Thank-you Masked Man on vinyl. Seems like the one that accompanied the animation was shorter. Great bit.

I listened to a lot of Lenny Bruce records when I was in my mid-teens, I suppose by that point the fact that I would never assimilate with the herd was a foregone conclusion.

Must.Not.Click.

I thought Canucks were plucky and brave.

;>)

That would depend on who’s doing the plucking !

Have you ever done the Full Mountie?

ROFL !!!

Well, it wouldn’t be Mother, because that would be a real mother plucker.

;>)

Lenny Bruce was hot when I was growing up. DC had a beat hangout called The Coffee and Confusion Shop. Amazed I still remember that. Used to hang out with the beats, listen to great jazz and poetry. In those days weed came in a match box. Grown in Cuba.

Namaste SD !

Taliban Bob is not McDonnell. it is Bob Marshall, another wing nut in the VA legislature.

I think.

Namaste, Petro.

LOL … let’s leave Mom out of this … *g*

Probably a good system, a matchbox shouldn’t hold more than you can swallow if the cops show up.

I’ll bet she wouldn’t be too timorous to clink on a tiny, innocuous link.

;>)

I’ll ask her, once her Heart starts beating again … *g*

Ya know now they charge you for destruction of evidence for swallowing yer dope. Makes the booking process more interesting, though.

Gulp, what evidence?

Petro, I’d like your opinion on this comment in the other thread.

Hey, there, you are welcome!

Tell all your Virginia friends and family, this guy is dangerous to America.

How can a country vote for someone who is a racist and has his blinders up about freedom of choice. These people are the Taliban in the US.

Wonder how much time he spends at C Street
