He’s an administration official you’ve probably never heard of. He’s in charge of placating the religious nutjobs that think Bush will have them raptured up any day now. And now, he joins the ranks of conservative copycats like Ann Coulter and Ben “Box Turtle” Domenech. Nancy Nall:
I feel bad about what I’m going to do here.
I’ve had a lot of fun at Tim Goeglein’s expense over the last few months. Mean-spirited fun, certainly, but my problem with him has always been one of personal taste. In his columns for The News-Sentinel, my old newspaper, he personifies a certain sort of apple-cheeked Hoosier drippiness, which undoubtedly masks a core of white-hot ambition. I mean, he worked at the right hand of Karl Rove, and remains in the White House. But while he works in the West Wing, he chooses to write awful, turgid essays on the wonders of Hoagy Carmichael, deceased operatic composers and his parents’ marriage.
See Nancy. See Nancy bust Timmy. See Nancy bust Timmy after the jump.
First the Dear Leader flies all the bin Ladens out of the country right after 9/11, and now this:
Newly-released records obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request contradict the 9/11 Commission’s report on the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and raise fresh questions about the role of Saudi government officials in connection to the hijackers.
…
“In the official version of the story now, the hijackers drift around L.A. listlessly for two weeks before chancing to come across [an employee of a Saudi defense contractor, Omar al] Bayoumi in a restaurant [according to Bayoumi’s account],” Thompson added. “Whereupon he’s an incredible good Samaritan and takes them down to San Diego, pays their rent, etc.”
“But from the FBI’s timeline, we now know the hijackers started staying at Bayoumi’s place on Jan. 15 - the very same day they arrived,” Thompson says. “So obviously they must have been met at the airport and taken care of from their very first hours in the US. That’s huge because the FBI maintains to this day that the hijackers never had any accomplices in the US.”
Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX), who is being suggested as a running mate for the Confused Old ManTM, is a Bush-enabler of the first order. She has a 100% rating from the Christian Coalition. She’s apparently dumber than a bag of hammers as well. She said:
that Sen. Russ Feingold’s bill to begin an Iraq withdrawal within 120 days puts “a bullet right in the hearts of our troops who are there.” Politico reports that Hutchinson’s staff backtracked from her comment, arguing that she meant to say “bull’s eye.” Accepting that claim, Hutchinson meant to say Feingold’s bill puts a “bulls’ eye in the hearts of our troops,” a statement which makes no sense.
Maybe if KBH had voted for body armor for the troops (instead of siding with the Dear Leader and the Dark Lord) some of those soldiers would survive that Demrat fire.
John McCain said Monday that to win the White House he must convince a war-weary country that U.S. policy in Iraq is succeeding. If he can’t, “then I lose. I lose,” the Republican said.
He quickly backed off that remark.
Poor John. To win he and his bloodthirsty geriatric supporters have to sell us the Iraq war (again), and that’s just not going to happen. Most of the American people are sick and tired of the Dear Leader’s fake war. Later, McCain was desperate enough to say that the war “will be over soon.” John, you confused old fart, don’t you understand that the Boy King and the Dark Lord are planning to stay there forever? They’re going to fake a terrorist attack (with luck it’ll be Houston) just before the election, declare martial law, and then … four more wars! [Raw Story]
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that “Josh Romney, one of former Gov. Mitt Romney’s five sons, says it’s ‘possible’ his father may rejoin the race for the White House.” Earlier this month, Romney “suspended” his campaign and endorsed Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) bid a week later. But Romney has yet to comment on the recent New York Times article on McCain’s close ties to lobbyists and “still retains control of the nearly 300 delegates he’s already won.”
Barry Hussein Obama, the Islamunofascist
candidate for the Democrat nomination for the presidency of these here
Yew-nited States (even the red ones) has won 10 primaries in a row (11 if you count that expatriot beauty contest). Hillary has to do something. Apparently, that something is to act completely fucking unhinged:
“Shame on you, Barack Obama,” Clinton said angrily when
talking to reporters after a rally in a technical college gym here. “It
is time you ran a campaign consistent with your messages in public.
That’s what I expect from you,” she said, calling on Obama to repudiate
and stop the mailings, which she waved demonstratively.
“Meet me in Ohio. Let’s have a debate about your tactics,” she said,
calling the mailings “tactics that are right out of Karl Rove’s
playbook.”
Hillary Hillary Hillary … this is not a good look for you. Look - I like you - I even voted for you in the NY primary because Rob Reiner told me to.
But this foot stomping frothing-at-the-mouth shit is not going to work.
What will? I haven’t a clue, but you’ve got to get a grip.
The Scopes Trial of 1925 was engineered as a challenge to the Tennessee
Butler Act that prohibited teaching in public school the theory that
man had evolved. The willing defendant, John Scopes, was convicted of
violating the Butler act, though the conviction was later overturned on
a technicality.
But then, as you’d expect, things head straight into the shitter:
The Scopes trial was made infamous in 1955 with the play Inherit the Wind,
and the 1960 Hollywood motion picture with the same title, both of
which completely lied about the facts and were promoted to harm Christianity.[1][2]
As you’d also expect, the “source” for the lied-about-the-facts claim is the terminally-stupid Greg Easterbrook. Also, the movie was … a movie, but of course Hollywood is always hatin’ on the Christians. But I digress.
In the worst case scenario - when there is an imminent threat of a nuclear attack on American soil - Lieberman said that the president should be able to certify the use of waterboarding on a detainee suspected of knowing vital details of the plot.
“You want to be able to use emergency tech[niques] to try to get the information out of that person,” Lieberman said. […]
“It is not like putting burning coals on people’s bodies. The person is in no real danger. The impact is psychological,” Lieberman said.
Joe, you complete shitstain of a man, there is no such thing as the ticking-time-bomb scenario. More wankery after the jump.
Our most distinguished jurist says that there is nothing in the Constitution that protects you from Dick Cheney and his waterboard. Justice Scalia, in an interview with the BBC, said that a slap in the face, a pair of pliers to the nuts, the Iron Maiden … whatever it takes!
Justice Antonin Scalia told the BBC that “smacking someone in the face” could be justified if there was an imminent threat.
“You can’t come in smugly and with great self satisfaction and say ‘Oh it’s torture, and therefore it’s no good’,” he said in a rare interview.
I’m sure Nino would be smugness itself with a hood over his head and electrodes on his testicles. You’ll find more horrific statements after the jump.
House repossessions [in the UK] are expected to hit a
12-year high this year, with 45,000 owners seeing their homes taken
away, experts warned yesterday.
…
With a growing number of lenders refusing to offer mortgages to those
with a poor credit history, many people in financial trouble are
expected to find their finances even more stretched. The CML is
predicting that 45,000 homes will be repossessed this year. This would
still be some way off the crash in 1991, when 75,500 were repossessed.
Remember back in January when the European markets threw a shit fit after finding out they owned more of Big Shitpile than they thought?
Europe’s major indexes suffered massive declines, as persistent fears of a U.S. recession drove investors to short selling. The German DAXslumped 7 percent, cutting the value of the usually outperforming index to levels of ten months ago.
More Big Shitpile (with sauerkraut) after the jump.
It’s so cute. We think all these primaries mean something. When I voted at the 73rd Street Senior Center on Tuesday, I felt a part of something. You DC area cynics might also think you can make a difference by voting in the Potomac Primaries on February 12th.
Forget it. Do you think the Unitary ExecutiveTM and the Dark Lord have been piling up all that power so they can hand it over to Barry Hussein or Hitlery in January 2009? Think again:
Today, more than 23,000 representatives of private industry are working quietly with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security. The members of this rapidly growing group, called InfraGard, receive secret warnings of terrorist threats before the public does-and, at least on one occasion, before elected officials. In return, they provide information to the government, which alarms the ACLU.
Sounds sensible, right? Protect the important stuff like bridges, powerplants, ports. But prepare to shit your pants after the jump.
How sweet it is. Wingnuttia is freaking out at the thought of John McCain as the Republican nominee. mAnn Coulter will vote for Hillary before she’ll vote for McCain. Professional hater and Jeebus freak James Dobson won’t support him. Rush Limbaugh lays a beating on McCain most every day. Glenn Beck freaked out on the radio this morning. Hugh Hewitt is in denial.
Well boo fucking hoo wingnuts. You warmongers, kid touchers, sociopaths, homophobes, Bible- thumpers, and forced-pregnancy advocates gave us eight fucking years of Bush - and it’s not even over yet. We’re fighting an endless war, we’re less safe than we used to be, and the economy is in the shitter. The executive branch has become a dumping ground for the worst reactionary shithead Republicans. Hundreds of thousands have died needlessly. The environment has been trashed.
The Iraq War must be brought to a swift conclusion. The economy could
use some work. The environment could stand cleaning up. The rest of the
world needs to be assured that this criminal administration won’t
attack a couple more sovereign nations before next January. And that
same criminal administration needs to be investigated - vigorously.
So is Senator Arlen “Magic Bullet” Specter interested in doing any of this? No. Instead, he wants to investigate … the New England Patriots.
Let’s say you’re the son of professional hater Phyllis Schlafly. You do a little lawyering, you teach
a few home-schooled kids “history”, but you want more. As a wingnut of
the first order, you see “liberal bias” everywhere, especially
Wikipedia. Ignoring the fact that the truth has a liberal bias, you
decide you must do something. Aha! you say. I will invent Conservapedia!
As you may have surmised, Conservapedia is a neverending source of
amusement (and posts) for us libtard bloggers. From entries on dinosaurs (who lived at the same time as the cavemen, natch) to teh gayz (of course you weren’t born that way) the fun never stops. But let’s just ease you into this by examining the Conservapedia entry for Barry Hussein, shall we?
