Extra! Extra! Blow Job Threatens National Security!
Posted by actor212 at February 20, 2006 03:53 AM
"Blow job by an intern..." You forgot to add "in the Oval Office of the White House" and by a subordinate. Any CEO of a major public company doing something like this would have been fired by the board of directors, don't you think? "CEO of Disney caught having sex in the corporate boardroom"?
No rest for the weary. I never have a day off...because evil never sleeps.
Posted by God Of War at February 20, 2006 04:02 AMOsama has released another tape. He says he will never be caught. I'm sure that's true as long as the Republicans are running the show.
Posted by Ga6thDem at February 20, 2006 04:39 AMOsama said he would not be caught ALIVE, and as it has been well documented(by Deadeye), that he had "close ties" to Sadaam's now deceased "Swiss cheese rugrats" PRIOR to 911, I believe him.
So lets see if he makes good. Go get him, George, before we see a "mushroom cloud".
Posted by TIKI AL at February 20, 2006 05:24 AMThese incompetent GOP bastards couldn't find Osama if he were slapping them in the ass and singing vaudeville.
Utter, unfettered incompetence is what we are dealing with.
Besides, no Osama = bad business for the GOP. How you gonna scare the proles when the bogeyman is gone?

Nice. I'm gonna use that one for sure. I don't have the day off either. I am here at work always and forever. It's a good thing I spend all my time on blogs instead of working!
No wonder I have to translate farci when I call Qwest.
Thanks alot woodpecker.
Posted by TIKI AL at February 20, 2006 06:23 AMYou'd think for a pack of lawyers that specialize in patent and intellectual property, that we'd have the day off since the Memory Hole in Alexandria (the USPTO office) is closed. But noooooooo . .

What about Enron? There was a corporation fucking millions of US citizens. Do you think Kenny Boy Lay should/would have been fired? Or isn't that salatious enough for you?

You forgot that Clinton also made calls on Lewinski's behalf to help line her up with employment. Quid Pro Quo written all over it.
The reason that most H.R. Depts in the world would have a set policy against this, and the reason that 99% of managers would lose their job over this is liability. Any one of the other interns at that company could sue for discrimination or make claims that they too were offered help in exchange for sex. The manager would be more likely to pull the same stunt again, eventually finding someone who didn't want to play ball. That person also would be in prime position to sue.
And it is the company that get's sued, not the manager. If the company keeps a manager employed that they know has had sexual relations, then their liability goes through the roof... even unfounded accusations provide serious problems for them legally.
And yes... for the shrill Oaklander... Kenny boy lay was terminated (he resigned) from Enron and even faces criminal charges... So I guess I don't understand your out of left field point.
Posted by Coldheart at February 20, 2006 07:35 AMKenny Boy and Darth Skilling were only prosecuted after they got away with the goods and bilked millions out of billions. Any punishment those pricks receive will be inadequate.
Hey Coldheart, you little bitch, what do you think should be done to managers and CEOs who divulge highly sensitive organizational secrets and embezzle corporate money? Should they be held accountable? Because in any self-preserving corporation, they would be fired and probably prosecuted.
What sayest thou, O mighty hypocrite? Or are you still able to see the speck in another's eye in spite of Rove's phallus impaling yours?

Actually, I prefer showtunes. Particularly Gilbert & Sullivan. Allah-u Ekber!

Posted by Osama at February 20, 2006 08:12 AMThere is a very interesting forum on CSPAN with Constitutional Atty's (including John Dean) debating how impeachable Bu$hCo's actions are.
I hope that the Congress is watching this.
Posted by Anjha at February 20, 2006 08:27 AMYes... Corporate executives who break the law should be fired and prosecuted.
Kenny Boy and Darth Skilling were only prosecuted after they got away with the goods and bilked millions out of billions
And btw, genious... that is how the system usually works. You arrest and prosecute people after they commit crimes. Do you honestly expect prosecutors and law enforcement to prosecute people who havn't yet committed any crimes?

That's Mr. "genius" to you, moronovich.
Posted by God Of War at February 20, 2006 08:34 AM"Don't mess with me Condoleezza. Don't mess with me, girl," Chavez said during his weekly Sunday broadcast, sarcastically offering her a kiss and jokingly referring to her as "Condolence."
Yeah, that "Condolence" sures knows how to get respect from others, doesn't she. What a joke.
"The warning comes days after Rice described Venezuela as one of the "biggest problems" for the Western Hemisphere and promised to develop regional alliances as part of an "inoculation" strategy to expose what the State Department calls anti-democratic behavior in Venezuela."
Oh, that is hypocritical, and by a Administration that doesn't even believe in the word
"democratic".
"Chavez has repeatedly accused Washington of trying to topple him, and says the United States will attempt to sow chaos this year as he launches a re-election bid."
Oh, you mean like he did here in the US?

I might also add that Lou Pai, one of the Enron execs, had a fascination with strippers. He was known to take them up to the Enron board room and his office to impress them. Eeventually he divorced his wife to marry a stripper.
P.S. He wasn't fired, everyone knew, and he made off with more money than Lay.
Posted by ann at February 20, 2006 08:41 AMJudith, I believe that Hugo Chavez should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize... He is, in my opinion one of the greatest leaders in the world today. He is light years ahead of the buttwipes that are running the United States today... I for one would like to see him cut off supplies of petrolium products to the United States if that would topple the government ensconsed here today...
Posted by Ken Jackson CPO USN Ret. at February 20, 2006 08:50 AMNow that Bush and his party have poll numbers in or near landslide loss levels, osama tape are coming out at almost mass production rate. I guess that by October we'll have a tape a day. Funny how that works isn't it?
Posted by herbal tee at February 20, 2006 08:55 AMYou forgot that Clinton also made calls on Lewinski's behalf to help line her up with employment. Quid Pro Quo written all over it.
Ding Ding Ding!
We have a winner for first idiotic rove-bot to bring up the mighty Clenistm.
Can you get it through your thick head that we are talking about the here and now?
Was Clinton perfect? Hell no! But compared to these clownshoes he was Churchill, Gahndi and MLK all rolled up in one.
So go ahead, talk about Clinton. Your boys suffer in every comparison. You need to reform your joke of a party. Why are you overhere trying to relieve your glory days when there is real work to be done?

What about a manager who taps their employees email and telephone communications at home, databases all of their activity, then uses it to examine their activities without a warrant and with no reason to believe the employee is engaging in any activity against the company?
Posted by phidipides at February 20, 2006 08:57 AMherbal - that wasn't a new tape, it was the old "truce" tape, trotted out for another round.
Posted by iamcoyote at February 20, 2006 09:03 AMWell Georgie, you have gone from merely a dim 20 watt bulb to certifiably insane. Awarding the port authority contract to Dubai Ports World? Why don't you just send every terrorist organization an invitation. You have completely lost it.
Osamah is probably receiving medical attention right now from laughing so hard. You are a complete idiot, as well as fucking nuts, and there is nothing the Wurlitzer can say or do to change that fact.
Posted by tempus at February 20, 2006 09:17 AMtempus, I agree, this is one of the most idiotic things bu$h has allowed to happen, but then it gets down to following the money and the players involved. As long he can help his cronies out...again.
What price for national security must we continue to pay for this moron?
And that tape...last months was released on the 19th, this month, on the 19th. I guess we can rely on monthly releases around the 19th.
Posted by bbtb at February 20, 2006 09:34 AMBilly got his knob polished, so now, anything (read: The New Nazism) goes.
That's some precious logic there, wingnuts. If you reichwing bastards hate the world so much, do yourselves a favor and leave it.
Posted by God Of War at February 20, 2006 09:38 AMI found this opinion piece rather interesting yesterday.
What is so incredibly sad about it is that Milbank is talking about who the Dems will blame.
We have a current situation in this Country where the Repukes are pointing endless fingers towards the left. Pointing out every flaw, every misquote, every hair out of place. The RNC must have several full-time staffers who do nothing but look for missteps from the Dems that they can point out and issue as a the day's memo for the news cycles.
If the Repukes are so busy doing this, why must we join them in this finger pointing game?
There has been a whole lot of discussion here about abandoning the Dems, the Party is not doing what we want them to do, where's the message, why did they say this, go there, do that?!?!?
OK, I will say this again. We live in a Representative Democracy.
We do not have leaders, we have Representatives.
It is up to each of us to get involved, grass roots, local meetings, State and Federal, volunteer and speak out. Until the people change it, nothing will change. And, we are the people.
To mark the anniversary of the illegal war in Iraq United for Peace and Justice is calling for several "taking to the streets" events. Maybe it is time that we join them?
I have a vision of a group of people, starting on a corner in my neighborhood, marching, knocking on doors and having people just walk out of their houses and join us for a march to a public square. It probably won't happen, because people are so self-involved and busy and completely unaware of the dire state of our Nation and the threats to America and the Constitution, but I can dream.
I ran across this extremely disturbing site. Here is the core of the Anti-Liberal Hate Groups. This is where they go to hate us and to find out who we are. This is a source of Nazi propaganda which paints liberalism as a threat to America and promotes fighting anything liberal and anything left. This is what we are up against folks. It ain't pretty. It is frightening.
Do any of us really doubt that the Halliburton Internment Camps are being built for anyone other than "liberals"? Why do you think that databanking is occuring? There is a hate movement in this Country. It is not againt radical-Islam; it is against liberalism. They are equating liberalism with radical Islam. They are equating anything against this Administration with radical Islam. Remember Matalin accusing David Gregory of a "Jihad" because the press wanted answers.
This is not politics as usual. We must Unite and stand up against this insanity.
Posted by Anjha at February 20, 2006 10:04 AMjust remember the anti-sex party believes violence is good and sex is bad, and corruption is par for the course in every case. explains everything.
Posted by benjoya at February 20, 2006 10:09 AMAnjha, All of what you say is eerily reminiscent of what we Americans participated in with 'Operation Condor' in South and Central America in the 70's and 80's.
And probably spot on.
bbtb, did you look at that hate site? It is the freakiest shit that I have come across. Freakier even than the CC. That website is against anything that promotes peace and justice. Look at who they are targeting. I am telling you, I have chills that will not go away after reading through that.
Posted by Anjha at February 20, 2006 10:28 AMAh, yes. David Horowitz's "Discover the Network" - which is just another way for Horowitz to put up another street front shop for his bread and butter, Front Page magazine.
Anjha, Horowitz is a truly scary huckster, but there's even scarier places out there. For the most part, Horowitz's lists of liberal leftists reads more like a series of comedy sketches by writers unknowingly aware that they're being used with a laugh track.
The Busch-con is touting America's energy plan, which is eerily akin to "Poor people and the middle class need to stop driving."
I have a stupid idea:
Take the $6 billion it costs to build one nuclear plant, and make it available in $20,000. loans for a 20 year period to 300,000 homeowners at 3% interest. They can put photovoltaics on their roofs and move towards energy independence from the grid. Then they payback the money to refinance the scheme. As economies of scale kick-in, the price of the systems come down.
I know. It's a stupid idea. And can't work in cloudy locations, regardless that the newer sytems work in the cloudy locations of Canada and the rest of the world. There is also the downside that your local utility doesn't get to irradiate everything it touches and rape you on each months utility bill.
Posted by phidipides at February 20, 2006 11:46 AMBad time for Bush to be in Milwaukee talking about opening new nuclear power plants:
Emergency declared at nuclear power plant
Posted by ann at February 20, 2006 12:34 PMYeah, my university doesn't get the day off either. We didn't get MLK Jr.'s Birthday off, either. I'm not really sure why - I thought it was a federal holiday, and it's a public school...
I had a hand in organizing the local chapter of the Constitutional Vigil on the 22nd over the wiretaps with help from my ACLU branch. To see if there's one near you, go here
Posted by DukeRevolution at February 20, 2006 02:09 PMEncinopide: Would that solar thing of which you speak work in a place that has'nt seen a cloud in over 4 months?
I am monitoring Fox today(don't try this at home unless you have a strong stomach, and a forgiving gag reflex), and its really funny, Peter King and others are against the port deal, while Bushco is for it, so Fox does'nt know how to "SPIN" it yet.

Pretty iffy! I think you need new-cue-lee-ur power, regardless. If there is too much sunshine then who knows how that might affect the photovoltaics and such. You could get way too much electricity and that would lead to a belief in science. No, better safe than sorry. Burn coal or use natty gas in turbines.
Posted by phidipides at February 20, 2006 03:18 PMThe deeper the grave the Repugs dig, the better. I would also use a little trick I observed in Iraq in 1990.
Pour in cement, let it harden, and then pour in lime and sulfuric acid. Than add a two-ton cement lid on the thing. This may seem excessive, but it may work to keep the Repugs from resurfaceing as zombies. Wait a minute, that's what they are now!
Posted by tempus at February 20, 2006 03:26 PMZombies? Aim for the head!
And our Constitutional Vigil will make use of eRiposte's research when the ACLU pamphlets don't explain enough of the pro-spy talking points away. As long as I credit this site, that's okay, right?
Posted by DukeRevolution at February 20, 2006 03:55 PMZombies? Aim for the head!
Make mine a Cricket bat a la Shawn of the Dead.
Pretty easy to do. You dress like a lobbyist and stand just inside a doorway waving cash. As the republi-con zombies lurch towards the door with Cheney-like grins on their faces, you step back a couple of paces and your buddy unsticks their wickets with the Cricket bat. Neat, painless, and satisfying! And I just love those republi-con Zombie skulls. Crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle!
Posted by phidipides at February 20, 2006 06:46 PMIn the little Mexican town nextdoor, the Cheney pinatas are selling 2 to 1 of the Bush likeness'.
