- What Reid said is awful, but he’s no Trent Lott.
- Trouble at home?
- Banks: Reid should not step down.
- It’s gossipy and shallow, but at least we’re not talking about Undiebomber.
- But…but…the Democrats want to turn us into Europe.
- Terra, terra, terra.

The gentlenam from South Carolina says
Get the boxcars ready.
Another take on the boxcar proposal.
tee hee
cheney done went and got his bad self in trouble with the base;
let’s give this story legs
good luck with that…the msm has dictated that it’ll be Reid gaffe alla time.
Anybody heard any coverage of the upcoming Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission hearings?
How about those states on ineffectual military tribunals attaturk talks about?
Nope. Me, neither.
107 immigrants have died in ICE jails since 2003.
Where the hell is the outrage from the Jewish community to Barrett’s proposal? Selective memory loss?
My guess is that they’re cheering it. My observation of what Jews learned from the holocaust is that you gotta do it to them first.
Do the Jews not remember that there were many non-Jews who risked their lives to protect Jewish families during the Resistance?
My observation comes from the behavior of Israel toward the Palestinians, slomo genocide. And that several U.S. Jews have cut me off because I’m critical of Israel. I still have many Jewish friends who are not besotted by Israel, and there was a holocaust survivor who just went on a hunger strike over Israel’s treatment of Gazans. So, as usual with human behavior, it’s a mixed picture. But as long as Israel is a shining representative of Jews, it’s easy to think they learned the wrong lesson from the holocaust.
most remember it
it’s scary how many don’t though…very scary, and those in power have of course been corrupted, did you know power corrupts
I swear, it’s true
best movie I have ever seen I will never be able to watch again, shindlers’ list
Do we need to start building hidden shelters in our homes to protect our neighbors, should they fall on the next list of “undesireables?”
Certainly not expecting the Israeli lobby to condemn Barrett. However, there should be SOME in the Jewish community with a trace of humanity left.
Why never again? Has the movie become “classified?”
On GMA George had the authors and ran a tape of Baby Dick from yesterday & her denying the quote; authors busted her, claimed the authority of their sources….good for George. He really set it up.
As USG is in Israel’s pocket, I wouldn’t expect too much public display against the legislation. It won’t pass, but I’ll be surprised if there’s any outrage against it.
Gee, Steffie evidences that he has something other than air under his haircut???!!! Color me surprised.
Halperin and Heileman valiantly trying to discuss their book Game Change on Morning Schlockjoe as Joe vigorously pushes the pro-Trent-Republican line on the Reid gaffe.
tour me up ghost, far too emotional for this man to go through again
Mornin’, BT, pups
28 degrees in Tampa this morning. Citrus crops may be in trouble.
RevBev – couple for ya at Caturday. eCAHN, it’s still alive and well.
At least Krugman is back on the reality train.
Going to look. Cahnstance is outside, even though it’s only 9.
Thanks..that is such a gentle, positive thread.
I was going to mention about giving pills as well. Angela’s need to be 1/4. But those I cannot get down her; they are so small. The 1/2 she has to swallow..but she will pocket/spit the 1/4. I still need to try the “pill pillow.”
I’ll give ya some tips at Caturday.
Yep. All Reid alla time.
Republicans driving the media machine this ayem.
What time does the SF court case begin?
Mornin’, eCAHN. I got a little more info from Teddy last night. Don’t have a clock time, but today. Teddy will be live blogging from SF, and David will be blogging from a remote court in Pasadena. Marcy is coming to Cali later in the week, which tells me Something about the schedule. The trial is expected to last 2 weeks. If you want, I’ll go back to late night and get the link regarding the trial.
I can figure it out. I’ll just keep my eyes on this site.
No, I meant the government site.

Thanks. 8:30a PT is scheduled start.
Righto. I have a few things I’ve got to do this am, like take my car to the stupid auto body shop (someone plowed into me at the grocery store parking lot) and house stuff before I work at 3. But, since I’m only about 20 minutes from the courthouse in Pasadena, I thought I’d take the camera and head over there. I’m wondering if there will be any protesters, from either side. Also, maybe take David a cup of coffee or something.
Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.
Namaste
We used to call Pasadena Pass the Donut. In those days the Rose Bowl was great fun. Saw a Super Bowl there once.
New post up top…
Democrats would be up in arms had a Republican had said what Reid said. This story would be all over CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc.. had a Republican said what Reid had said. This story is barely getting covered in the mainstream… Once again the mainstream media is running interference for Democrats.
This is a perfect example of “the ends justify the means”, which is the Democrats slogan. It is alright to ignore what Reid said because he helps to advance the democrats cause.
You dimwits out there will read this and try to defend Reid or type some other irrelevant mumbo jumbo but the truth is you have no defense… period!
Dumbass
Cant you acknowledge that we have a corporate media in this country and that its entertainment news all the time 24/7
Where were these same media outlets when Ensign and Vitter were screwing around on their wives?
frederic. Nice to see somebody here besides the choir. Good morning. But of course you are wrong. Reid simply stated the truth within a political context. A light-skinned colored guy who talks like a white guy is more electable in this country. Plain and simple. Tell you what: Google Republican Sex Offenses. Amazing. See what the media is really covering up.
