Jon takes notice that much of the book is "redacted" showing sentences and paragraphs of text highlighted out by the CIA, including something about breast feeding. The memorable quote of the interview: "I would say Mr. (Robert) Novak as about as much credibility has this (Bush) Administration." Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

This is only a reminder of what I am sure everyone reading this already knows.

In late 1987 Rush Limbaugh gained syndication. In his move from Sacramento to New York he took the word "Feminazi" with him which soon became the basis of the most successful propaganda campaign in American history: Political Correctness. Over the years I have written many articles on this issue a few of which are contained here.

For twenty years every minute of every day on radio, television and print there is a story or mention of Political Correctness. Other than a few on the Left who do not seem to get it, to all other Americans the syllables "PEE CEE" equal "NAZI-LIBERAL-DEMOCRAT". It is embedded so deeply into the American psyche there is no undoing it.

Right after the two candidates are chosen, the Republican will begin with 45% of the vote. Moderates and Independents who decide elections vote more upon their perceptions and emotions than they do on issues. To compensate for the PC which has kept them on the Right side for a generation, perhaps a little propaganda from the Left is in order.

1) Replace all usage of terms like "conservative", "right wing", "reactionary" and "Religious Right" with "Republican". Republican spokesman Ann Coulter. Republicans for torture. Republican James Dobson. Republicans veto SCHIP. Republican talk show host Michael Savage. Our Republican war in Iraq.

2) For the next year refrain from all accusations of Political Incorrectness. If you need help there are a million other ways to get the point across at the Puerile Name Calling Generator.

3) Pound the truth that Rudy Giuliani's views on foreign policy, fear mongering, executive supremacy and government intrusion are actually worse than what we have now with Bush and Cheney.

4) Humor is a better vote getter than a scolding.

Republican AM radio's use of the spoken word gives them an advantage. Not only in having an interconnected network that repeats the same attack phrase thousands of times a day on thousands of radio stations (and to the most watched cable news channel, Fox News), but also able to go much further in their attacks than we for lack of a written record. So maybe getting together on just these four little things can make a difference.

Thank You for Listening,

Rack Jite

Kick!

I’m happy to say that Genarlow Wilson is a free man today, 21 years old with a bright future ahead. Many may have wondered why Genarlow Wilson didn’t take a plea deal like his teen-aged buddies elected to do. All were offered a plea deal which would have reduced their sentences, possibly to time served, and eventually remove the conviction and sex offender status from their records. Genarlow, football hero, honor student, and homecoming king with a bright future, chose the ten year sentence handed down to him while the rest went free.

In case you’re unaware of his crime, in his own words he knows that he did some “idiotic” things, as many teenagers do. Wilson then 17, had consensual sex with his then 15 year old girlfriend, then a felony in GA. After turning down the deal, he chose to serve the full 10 year sentence .While in prison, the crime was reduced to a misdemeanor, but would not be retroactive for him. At the time the Supreme Court voted 4-3 to allow him the two years time served, even the court was calling it “cruel and unusual punishment.” Perhaps the story becoming front page news played some small part in the Court’s decision as well?

Why did he choose prison? In his own words, “I wouldn’t be able to stay with my mother because I have a little sister. You know when you’re a sex offender you can’t even be around kids. Basically, I can’t even have kids myself, so what is the point of life?” He said he feels no “negative energy” toward District Attorney.David McDade who fought doggedly against efforts to have Wilson’s sentence reduced, fighting for the full ten years. Nor does he feel animosity toward the prosecutors, saying they were just doing their jobs. While he never wants to see the inside of a prison again, he is amazingly positive. His focus is on the future and college.

The experience helped him select a major, Sociology “because I feel I’ve been living my major.”

“The new Genarlow Wilson will be more conservative, more alert and more appreciative of the blessings bestowed upon him”, he said. I see a bright future for this young man, and mercifully this miscarriage of justice will be nothing more than a speed bump in his distant past, and maybe a lesson to our law makers and those who enforce those laws.

Bubba called today to squawk about Mexicans. I have to give it to Bubba, he is honest enough to not waste words differentiating their legality, Mexicans are Mexicans who should all be living in Mexico. Since Lou Dobbs went ballistic on this issue, Bubba now switches channels from his default FOX NEWS to watch CNN in the Dobb's evenings, which now happens to be the same time I turn off CNN for some Hank and Homer.

I must say, old Lou has gone singularly berserk on this immigration business. Perhaps as a child he was wrapped in a tortilla and abandoned at a bus stop in Escarsaga. Whatever the problem it's serious. In fact I just read that the main issues involved in all this; that illegal immigrants pull down wages, cause unemployment, are more criminal that average, appreciably affect taxes for services and are going to blow up Chicago are either lies or highly exaggerated crap.

So Bubba called regarding some hippies who disrupted a Mexicans Go Home rally in downtown Houston the other day. There were almost a hundred white-wing bigots, mostly middle aged women and whacked out Vietnam veterans draped in flags with nothing better to do, while about half that many kids held up signs reflecting upon that bigotry. Not much of a demonstration either way you look at it, but it was pleasant seeing some young people take to the streets doing the right thing rather than whooping and hollering in front of the Death Chamber down here in Huntsville.

So Bubba joined the Minutemen Border Patrol and wants me to ride down to Brownsville with him to man a guard post for a week. I might go. I need a trip, and knowing Bubba, the van will be full of beer and lots of chicken fried steak. And grits! What the hell, I can get drunk in a field and plonk at stuff with Bubba's guns for a few days. If I come across any Mexicans, I'll give them a ride up to Houston on my way home. After all, the influx of Hispanics over the years affecting the vote is the only reason Texas hasn't reinstated slavery.

Homeland Security Director Michael Chertoff is so busy rounding up poor hard working Mexican families and putting them into concentration camps to keep us safe, that he has lost the forest through the trees. The answer to his dumbass question has been pounded into us from this particular Republican Adminstration most everyday for 7 years now.

Chertoff: Phony press event was 'dumbest' thing
Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The homeland security chief on Saturday tore into his own employees for staging a phony news conference at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"I think it was one of the dumbest and most inappropriate things I've seen since I've been in government," Michael Chertoff said.
"I have made unambiguously clear, in Anglo-Saxon prose, that it is not to ever happen again and there will be appropriate disciplinary action taken against those people who exhibited what I regard as extraordinarily poor judgment," he added.
Asked specifically if he planned to fire anyone at FEMA, which is part of his department, Chertoff declined to say, citing personnel rules.
"There will be appropriate discipline," he told reporters at a news conference with New York's governor where they announced an agreement on a driver's license plan.
Chertoff said he knew nothing about the matter until after it happened and that he "can't explain why it happened."

Mr. Chertoff's question regarding why Republicans do what Republicans do is well answered by old American Indian Folklore

The Frog and The Scorpion

One day a frog was sitting by the bank of the river enjoying the warm sun and cool breeze. It so happened that a scorpion approached him rather quickly as to inquire about crossing the river. "Frog", said the scorpion, "I am in need of passage across the river upon your back. I am prepared to pay you with this mealworm that I have not eaten."
The frog thought about it for a moment, then replied "Scorpion, I know that if I grant you a ride across the river upon my back, you will poison me on the other side. For that alone I shall say 'no thanks'."
"Frog", again said the scorpion, "Please, I have no wish to harm you, treasure chestI promise. I just need to go across the river to find more food. There is nothing left on this side for me to eat."
The frog thought about it again for a moment and then agreed to help the scorpion get across the river.
Half way across, the frog felt a rather sharp, stinging sensation in his back. The scorpion had stuck him with his venom. "SCORPION!", cried the frog, "You have killed me and you as well. Why have you done this?"
"Because I am a scorpion...and that is my nature."
