cause it is still Clinton's fault...
The Republicans really can't seem to give up on Clinton, but to blame him, George Soros and the democrats for Mark Foley's actions is just crossing a line. It also just shows how desperate the GOPers are to spin this situation that essentially could be the last nail in the coffin for the November elections.For those who did not see the Daily Show last night...John Stewart and the editing staff to whom I still owe a basket of muffins, showed Sean Hannity (who I cannot beLIEVE my cousin is friends with, particularly after this nonsense), on FOX actually saying "I don't wanna throw Clinton into this..." and of course we are left shouting at the TV "OF COURSE YOU DO!...DUMBASS!" AND he also brings up Gerry Studds in 1983 having an affair with a 17 year old page...cause the Republicans can FIND this stuff (see John Stewart reaction), but the best had to be the footage of FOX actually labeling Foley as "Rep Mark Foley, D-FL"...somehow I don't think that was a typo...just sayin'...
I can't get the link on my overprotected work computer but I say head to www.comedycentral.com and see for yourself as it is brilliantly put together. And then we can all send them a basket of muffins...
And speaking things that folks should have seen on TV last night, I can only hope that SOMEONE, preferably some Tom DeLay constituent, in Sugarland saw the Bill Moyers special on public television last night. Mind you, they might watch the report and say "well that's just some liberal elite crap and can't possibly be true..." but then again, it might cast the doubt it should...or just outright horrify folks as it did me...Jack Abramoff, Grover Norquist, Tom DeLay, Mike Scanlon, Ralph Reed, and Bob Ney basically showed how low one can truly go in the world of lobbying and politics. It sadly may not be new, but it really was...appalling the level of inhumanity, greed and hypocrisy involved in Abramoff's scams and how far Norquist and the far right are willing to go to make sure that the GOP is in charge of everything...
And you also get to learn that Tom DeLay smiled in his mugshot in order for folks to "see Christ in him".
the special will be on again 10/8 at 2pm. http://www.pbs.org/moyers/moyersonamerica/capitol/index.html
Can we get this mailed to that 39% of people who still support Bush and his ilk?
IN THE MEANTIME....Condi Rice is back in Bagdhad for an "unexpected visit" hoping to get the government there to try to deal with their differences...particularly after American forces had to take over a section of the city as it is believed that Iraqi police have been conspiring and collaborating with Shiite death squads who have been kidnapping, torturing Sunni citizens. "Stop that civil war! STOP THAT!"
And a FOURTH person has come out saying that they told Dennis Hastert about Foley's email issues...and of course Denny can't recall THAT conversation either, but has no problem going on the air with "friendly radio hosts" essentially saying it's the Democrats fault that he can't remember anything about this...
The "resident" as one aquaintance likes to call George, of course is just trying to talk about how the Democrats are soft on terror...he just wants to stay "on message" rather than deal with this scandal business an the possible loss of his buddy Denny who he swears "cares about the children of this country" (yet not enough to cut off Foley early). Besides that scandal, there is growing resentment towards Iraq, and Bob Woodward's new book "State of Denial" which should push that resentment right along. Particularly when you've got people confirming stuff in it like General Jones, who confirmed that yes, he took issue with the war in Iraq and brought up his concerns with Peter Pace. Of course, he's walking that thin line of well-yes-I-said-that-but-it-really- wasn't-that-bad-when-I-said-it, but then again he still has a few months before he retires...
And then there's George's own words to worry about as he told a group while doing a campaign sweep that, in the history book, Iraq will "just be a comma" compared to the rest of the war on terror and his reign-I mean presidency. JUST A COMMA?!?!? Wow, Rove's been feeding you morphine is you think Iraq is going to be "just a comma", If it is, it'll be a 20 story block print one bigger than the White House and the embarrassment of a library that may be set up for him and that may just fall on him. The idea that he could even refer to this war as just a comma, proves his arrogance and perhaps just outright stupidity...and is also proof of Woodward's mention is his book about how George doesn't like to hear anything negative about Iraq.
Hence he digs the latest military spending bill that includes 20 MILLION DOLLARS FOR A VICTORY PARTY in IRAQ!...yep, someone (Karl Rove) put crack in the Capitol's water supply...
If ever there was a time to KEEP EMAILING this would be it my friends!!!!
Peace --Alex
