Buyers remorse is a bitch!
Posted by snark at April 13, 2006 09:04 AMI would think that going duck hunting with the Cheney carcass would be certifiably suicidal.
Posted by tempus at April 13, 2006 09:06 AM-- Antonin Scalia said that the proudest thing he has done as a Supreme Court justice is to go duck hunting with Dick Cheney and then rule in favor of the Bush White House in Cheney’s Energy Task Force case. Scalia said that if you can’t trust a Supreme Court justice more than that, you should get a life.--
By Scalia's very remarks, he hangs himself. Any judge who has a personal relationship with ANYONE involved in a case that he is deciding, even a low-level, relatively insignificant case, should recuse himself. Even if you wanted to remain impartial (which is a HUGE 'if'), your emotions would interfere. Who the fuck does this arrogant bastard think he is fooling? Only himself.
Pretty brave, impressive work by all these day-late-and-a-dollar-short generals. Spare us the belated "I'm shocked, shocked, von Rumsfeld must go" realizations; it hardly matters at this point.
We amateurs knew this war was idiocy from the time Nero and Co first proposed it---where were the professional brass and their misgivings when the country needed them? Hidin' in the Pentagon washroom or behind the filing cabinets? Busily working on some pre-emptive nuclear strike "plans"?
Someone had a great line for these courageous warriors---"they're willing to sacrifice their lives for their country, just not their careers."
Posted by euzoius at April 13, 2006 09:55 AMSupposedly Kerry would win???
The "polls" showed Kerry winning.
Then the official vote counters ... showed
Bush had the win.
Do you really believe the polls would
out-rank those vote counters?
Fix the vote count problem! Before polls
will mean anything.
Ten points?
That's ALL!!??
FUCK THE AMERICAN PUBLIC.
Morons.

unfortunately, now doesn't count.
Karl knew if he could get his guy past 11/2/04 it would all be cake. He skated, we're fucked.
Posted by Zappatero at April 13, 2006 11:05 AMDid they figure the swift boat factor into the mix? Or the wind surfing? Or discussing shooter's daughter's sexual preference? etc.,etc., yada, yada, yada.
Posted by TIKI AL at April 13, 2006 11:10 AMEd Gein would best Bush by 10 points now.
Posted by Christopher at April 13, 2006 11:27 AMYeah, Kerry might win by 10 points but McCain would beat Bush by 90 points...

What needs to happen is to get these ex-flag officers together and do a national speaking tour where they present their perspective and allow the audience to ask questions; like a standard book tour
Before the election in November
"War is the easy part" - Anthony Zinn
"It all comes down to turnout folks."
Really?? We had one of the best turnouts in the last 50 years in 2004 and you guys LOST!
Poor poor liberals. If only they could go back and and re-do the 2004 election. You guys are always looking to the past.
Besides Bush isn't running again. But continue to hasten your own demise with your obsession with Bush. I'm loving it!
==================================
"Scooter’s counter-filing to the court in response to Fitzgerald’s filing last week asserts that he wasn’t directed to leak Valerie Plame’s name as part of a pushback campaign against Joe Wilson. That isn’t the point; Fitzgerald didn’t say Scooter was told to leak Plame’s name. He said that Scooter was told to leak classified information, which the White House has already admitted."
Actually, Fitzgerald was comissioned to determine if a covert agent had been outed. That's all. All this other stuff is irrevelant. It makes for good Bush bashing by the left but in the end will amount to nothing (except maybe complete humilation for Fitzgerald and the liberal left).
Thanks David; I'll be saving your comments for this November. And please don't talk about what Fitzgerald was authorized to do, or not do if you aren't going to read the source material; you're whistling past the graveyard here.

Posted by jondee at April 13, 2006 04:09 PM"Saving comments until November."
LOL
I think lots of you said that to me in 2004 or on the Supreme Court nominations. Do you still have them saved? Just wondering. Do you make a physical copy, copy them to disk, or just keep a link? I'm thinking you've been hoarding comments for years now! You "comment hoarders" you!
Posted by muckdog at April 13, 2006 04:41 PMEvery retired officer in the miltary can go against Rumsfield but it won't matter till the active duty members come forward. It's easy enough to criticize when your career isn't on the line. I'm not getting too excited about all the generals - they could have saved us all this grief 3 years ago if they had had the guts to speak out.

When you write columns, do some research. India cannot violate the NPT since it has never signed it.
Thanks,

"Morning Update - Kerry Would Beat Bush By Ten Points Now"
Kinda pointless at this point, don'tcha think?

I believe it all comes down to Diebold.
The "center-left" label works quite well for me.

Good. You do that. And when you forget to post them again after you guys lose, I'll be sure to do it for you since I also saved a copy.
Speaking of reading source material, why don't you go back and read the threads and posts on this site in 2002 and 2004 when you guys were so sure you would take back the Congress. It's exactly like the kind of comments that you're making now.
Speaking of whistling past the graveyard, you are partly correct. Your ideas are dead (have been for a long time) and coming here is somewhat like walking by a graveyard. Thanks. I couldn't have said it better myself.
Posted by David at April 14, 2006 04:08 AMDavid, you seriously believe that a special prosecutor has no authority to bring perjury charges arising out of testimony involving the precise subject matter of the special prosecutor's appointment? Is that the nonsense being currently "supplied" at your Right Wing Internet shit-troughs?
Do you think such a legal position would make any sense whatsoever? You don't have to be a lawyer--just use your common sense, you Right Wingers always claim you're so full of common sense.
