KicK! Making Politics Fun

Richard Clark and Jon Stewart reminisce back to 2004 after Clark blew the whistle on the Bush Administration for politicizing the Iraq War he came under the same accusations that Scott McClellan is suffering today. By the same political creeps in the Bush Administration who made it all political then as they have today. They also discuss his new book Your Government Failed You which is about how the Bush Administration has politicized Homeland Security... And the War, and Katrina and everything they can get their hands on. The Bush Administration picks people to do big complicated jobs not on experience or competence but whether they are Pro Life, Pro Gun and how prominent the wear their flag pin lapels.

John McCain's "Straight Talk Express" bus suffered a flat tire sometime around the announcement that he'd had a falling out with a couple of evangelical pastors, Hagee and Parsley, who according to themselves, are on a first name basis with Gawd and Jesus. This can't be very good for ol' John because being for their endorsements before he was against them will have repercussions with this base. It's been reported that up to 20% of Americans are religiously insane and with Hagee and Parsley withdrawing their support for McCain, one has to wonder where McCain goes to fill this void.

It's unlikely he's going to find much support among those earning less that a few hundred grand a year as he's pledged to make Bush's tax cuts for the already filthy rich permanent, anymore than he's gained favor with homeowners facing foreclosure whom he's referred to as speculators. He has another equally pressing dilemma in spite of his war hero status with military personnel by voting against the popular GI Bill which passed the Senate 75-22 and the House with a similar veto-proof majority.
This leaves the racists and chauvinists which Barack and Hillary wouldn't get anyway. So, looking into the 2008 general election future with both eyes open, there is no way McCain should win fair and square against either Obama or Clinton. Unfortunately we've seen just how fair and square worked in both 2000 and 2004.

So fasten your political seatbelts, the road is about to get very bumpy because the GOP and their corporate controllers have too much to lose now that they've tasted the spoils of their excesses the past twelve years. Expect every dirty political trick and then some with the support of a compromised media punditry.

An article on a new documentary movie about Roman Polanski jumped out at me and took hold! The movie, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired, mostly covers the legal case that caused him to leave the country and never return.

After the success of Rosemary's Baby in 1968 and the murder of his wife Sharon Tate the following year, Polanski was pegged a naughty boy. In 1977 while filming Chinatown a Star Mother fed her 13 year old daughter to Polanski who at the time was dating 15 year old Nastassja Kinski. Polanski admitted to consensual sex with the girl, the mother pressed charges, Polanski went to trial, the prosecutor was a Mormon and the Judge let it be known he was going to make an example of Polanski. The famous director drove to the airport and left his Mercedes parked and fled to Europe and never came back. He won the Best Director Oscar for the Pianist in 2003. Hollywood’s Most Beloved Fugitive

Well well well... What was Mr Polanski thinking! He had a Mormon right there in the courtroom he could have talked to about this. Fleeing to Europe and losing everything he had made when he could have just driven off to West Texas, opened the gate to the Eldorado Zion FLDS cult compound and screwed, diddled, and done whatever he pleased to as many 13 year old girls as he wanted. With not lawsuits but the blessings of their mothers. He could kept all his money, enjoyed all his fame and gone on directing movies at his leisure. You don't have to run to Europe if you like molesting children, just become a priest or a fundamentalist Mormon and you get a free ride here in America.

The adjectives are flying high, Explosive! and Shocking! says the media of Scott McClellan's book, What Happened. Republicans from talk radio, the floor of congress, the White House and Texas are shocked! and puzzled?. Bush loyalist Dan Bartlett says the book is "total crap!"

[Is it just me or does Dan Bartlett pictured here have a much bigger flag lapel pin than is normal attire for Republicans? If so, it follows he is more patriotic than other Republicans (like Scott McClellan for example) and so what he says goes. It is settled, the book is total crap!]

McClellan, a Republican, has told the truth 70% of Americans have known for most of 4 years. That George W. Bush thinks with his gut, decides with his religion, and runs the White House as a GOP political machine rather than a place of the people, by the people and for the people. That he and his administration lied about WMDs, Valarie Plame, Niger nukes and didn't really give a hoot about Katrina victims who vote for Democrats. That they are more concerned with pushing conservative ideology than they are with the American people. Well Duh... I could have wrote that book in my sleep.

McClellan's accusations were about as ho humm as it gets until the media declared his book more shaking than earthquakes and more ominous than floods. One right after another the Bush politicos have come out from under their rocks to prove just how correct McClellan is when he claims the administration is run as a political propaganda machine. Its called the GOP "DUH$" Factor. Those who vote Republican are either wealthy enough to not care about much of anything but their back pocket, or too stupid to understand any damn thing. Admittedly a winning combination.

Perhaps I am too hard on the media in this case. After all, a Republican, a Republican in the Bush Administration no less, telling the truth to the American people is something we have never seen before and will probably never see again. It is the Nature of the Beast.

A CNN call in poll (which means nothing) just came in with 91% saying they believe Scott McClellan and 8% believe the Bush Administration.

Scott McClellan, the Bush Administration's Press Secretary through the buildup of the Iraq War has a new book, What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.

Leaks from the book hit the wire this morning and the Bush Administration is none too pleased. McClellan calls Karl Rove and Scooter Libby dishonest, overal deceiving the American people with the reasons for war and claims the press complicit with that deception. He also points fingers at the administrations failed response to Hurricane Katrina.

Of course the book is to cover McClellan's butt for all the lying and deceit he was forced to push, but he must also be given some credit for the unusual aspect of a Republican being honest and forthright. Something you can be sure you will never hear or read from the likes of Tony Snow... At least now they have a deceitful liar with a pretty face! Exclusive: McClellan whacks Bush, White House

Mike Taibbi discusses his new book The Great Derangement, a study of how America is going radical in both directions at the same time. Taibbi joined and went through basic training at Reverend Haggee's West Texas Pentecostal Church. We find that Reverend Hagee - who makes Reverend Wright seem a sleepy intellectual - is a Pentecostal, who like all Pentecostals believe Satan lives in our UPPER digestive tracks and must be purged by vomiting into bags. Something many of us learned more than 20 years ago when Pentecostal Ollie North - with his faraway eyes - was lying to congress. Pentecostals are also the ones who Ugatie buggity booger poopity speak in tongues, handle rattlesnakes, and just happen to make up all six of the Televangelists under financial investigation by Congress.

After months of standing behind the Crazy Reverend Hagee, John McCain last week finally threw him under the bus for saying Jesus was responsible for the Holocaust rather than Satan (or Germans or Nazis or anti-Semetism or fascism).

Stephen Colbert makes a fool of Family Research Council President Tony Perkins on the issue of Gay Marriage. I have to give Mr. Perkins credit for not only appearing, but taking a well deserved beating with a smile and a few laughs. Perkins must not be a Pentecostal where humor goes in the same vomit bag as Satan. Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Iowa Republican Senator Grassley has been gently looking into the finances of six Televangelists. All six have a few things in common, they are Pentecostals, they work from the premise God gives big monetary rewards to those who send the most money to these Televangelists and live extremely lavish lifestyles (which is what brought them to the Senator's attention.)

The most infamous of these crooks was Dallas, Texas Televangelist Robert Tilton with his show Success in Life. He spent a time in jail for his crookery but he's back. It's okay to steal what you want from not very bright lonely people as long as you do it under the name of Jesus Christ. You can even get away with multiple wives, sexual abusing little girls for that matter. But one must learn to do these things in a Christian manner. Catholic priests - Papists - had a different problem, though they had sex with little boys and mostly got away with it, they are known to be unarmed and not crazy loons who will shoot it our or generate mass suicides. So they are treated different, especially in around Dumbutt.

It so happens that Senator Grassley is a Baptist and the six very very rich Pentecostal preachers - which includes rip off artist Benny Hinn are saying it's religious bigotry on his part. I don't know, they both seem pretty much the same to me. Not quite as crazy as Jehovah's Witnesses but a lot nuttier than Scientology.

Our own man down here in Dumbutt who is making the accusations is Kenneth Copeland who we enjoy watching on TV every Sunday morning, he also claims Grassley is in league with Satan:

Satan has an agenda, he is looking for a way to drive a wedge and get strife between one another. Kenneth Copeland

This is the weekend of the Libertarian Convention. It is being held in Denver at the Downtown Sheridan Hotel. 1000 delegats, most of whom are bikers who are required to bring at least one computer geek with them will decide to nominate Bob Barr as their Presidential Candidate.

If you remember, Bob Barr was the loudest and most obnoxious of the Impeachment House Managers. He had begun impeachment proceedures well before both the Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky issues were known. At the time Barr was going through his second divorce and was caught licking whipped cream off of strippers breasts.

Bob Barr is also famous as the Georgia DA who threw the most people in jail for the longest periods of time for the least reason! Backing such a person for President is only a small part of the reason the party is kindly called the Looneytarian Party. But mostly Barr is famous for being the top NRA wonk in America. You can bet the delegates are armed and armed well.

On the basement floor of the hotel is where the real party is. Political action booths, lobbyists, and if you can get past the UZI salesman and meth labs you may find what has gained them the most attention this weekend. Across the isle from the legalize pot booth is the Shotgun Willies strip club booth with a big curtain in front of it. Perhaps behind that curtain is some new form of hybrid entertainment incorporating unregulated stripping and shooting. Funny article about the Libertarian Fest

The day after a jury sentenced cop killer Juan Quintero to Life without Parole, the fine Christian people here in Dumbutt are angry, bloodlust angry.

One of the jurors, Cindy Bradford, who voted for execution (obviously a Christian) went to the press to say that the 10 to 2 decision to not execute this Hispanic illegal immigrant was because everyone was tired and wanted to go home. Gary Blankenship president of the Houston Police Officers Union said he would lobby the state legislature to rewrite sentencing laws to add Life Without Parole and Isolation. Studies find that most inmates go insane after 6 months of isolation. Which of course is the point of the new law.

Talk shows and letters to the editor seem to have all been shouted or penned in large red ALL CAP fonts. This is the stuff of revolution here in Texas...

The Great Wall of Texas is proceeding, as are gun sales and carry permits, executions, giving children back to child sexual abusers and what seems an endless stream of patriotic funerals of young men coming home from the other side of the world.

All of course pointing to Texas being a Christian State in Christian nation not one of whom as a clue in Hell as to what Christianity means.

Here is an example of a Christian. Two robbers entered a convenience store in Houston, one pointed a gun into the clerks face while the other held a knife to his chest, took the money and ran. Ash Hussein the 22 year old clerk grabbed a gun and followed them outside, he shot at the car 4 times to stop them but killed one. "This is a day I'll never forget, I wish it hadn't happened, but it did. Someone died over this, that just makes me feel uneasy." Sayed "Ash" Hussein said who by name and remorse is far more Christian than anyone else in Texas. Store clerk fatally shoots robbery suspect in N. Houston

Dezmond Blake called police to say he found a baby in his freezer. Sure enough, after police arrived at a weekly-rate Houston motel they found 6 month old Devin (surname unknown at this time) in the top freezer section of the motel room refrigerator. Blake, an African American male and father of the child, was about a year late with the call.

It was soon discovered that Blake and the mother, Crystal Sosa, had put the baby in the freezer a year ago. The only information from the couple thus far is that the child died of natural causes.

The mother had been arrested and put in jail for prostituion about the same time the baby went into the fridge. She had also lost another child to Child Protective Services testing positive for drugs. The father has also had run-ins with the law. Well he has a prior record of evading arrest so I suppose that would be considered a run-outs with the law.

The couple used the freezer daily, Devin was in a gym bag. Both parents are presently in jail charged with evidence tampering. HPD: Dead baby left in motel freezer for one year
