Some things never change... I am sure William is up in Heaven being the same condescending snot he was in life...

Conservative columnist and angry television pundit Robert Novak was known mostly for not only his anger at the poor and dispossessed and blaming them for most of our ills, but laughing at them as well - it is where the nickname Prince of Darkness he was so very proud of came from.

On a more personal level he was best known for cruizing around Washington DC giving people the finger out the window of his black Corvette. In fact his last known public act was to run someone over in that Corbett and left the scene, you know hit and run. We assume he gave them the finger as he sped away which probably made it all okay.

Novak was also the mainstay of the CNN debate show CROSSFIRE for many years taking the conservative view of things. He was fired from CNN in 2005 after he got angry and walked off the set in a huff when James Carville gave him a poke. Funny to now note the video is Novak the great pundit arguing that the reviled Katherine Harris would be the next Senator from Florida - She did not even get 40% of the vote.

After being fired from CNN Novak of course moved to Fox News where he belonged all along. He was working for FOX when he wrote the infamous article which outed CIA agent Valerine Plame, and put Scooter Libby to bed. That was pretty much end of the angry foul son of a bitch.

Ron Silver, a once ordinary Jewish liberal actor/comedian had an epiphany on September 11th 2001 and became a NewNeocon. A complete turnaround of both his nature and his politics as hatred and vengeance came forward into a dying thirst of war, torture and new friends like Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Rest in peace...

Paul Harvey has been pushing his conservative views for 15 minutes as we ate our lunches since 1951. Syndicated on 400 radio stations his exit has now made Rush Limbaugh's boast that he is the most listened to radio host of all time, the sad truth.

Paul Harvey may have been been a top player in pushing right-wing propaganda and religious intolerance, but unlike Mr. Limbaugh he possessed that one thing Rush Limbaugh has nothing of, character.   Facebook | Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article |

Grab your hanky, Billionaires are left with only Billions! 

The top billionaire loser of 2008 are rags to riches casino mogul Sheldon Adelson who lost $20 billion of his $24 billion. Runners up were Warren Buffet with a loss of $16 billion, Bill Gates losing $12 billion, Google's Larry Page and Sergey Brin who lost $11 billion each.

But far and above, or below, the money trail is perhaps the biggest loser in the financial world of shoulda woulda, Yahoo's Founder and CEO Jerry Yang who refused to take Microsoft's bid of $31 a share plus a 60% premium for a grand total of $44 billion. Yahoo now sits at $12 a share.

If you were left with only several billion dollars, could you face tomorrow?

Founder and cofounder of such over the top conservative organizations as the Heritage Foundation, the Free Congress Foundation, The Moral Majority, The Christian Coalition and the skank who funded all those bill boards on the interstates of Arkansas asking women to call an 800 number for a reward if they had sex with President Bill Clinton.

With intolerance as his main vocation and the looks and disposition of an Aryan German Brownshirt, Paul Weyrich will be missed by the Hillbilly faction of the Republican Party. I would expect Sarah Palin coming Back in Black.

Here is today's eulogy from Republican Presidential Candidate and ignorant boob Mike Huckabee:

"I have learned today of the death of one of America's truly great political minds, Paul Weyrich. He was not a household name to most Americans, but inside conservative circles, his name was a name of wisdom, authority, and true conviction. I first met him in 1979 when I was working as communications director for a large Texas based Christian ministry. Paul was one of the first leaders to realize the untapped potential of values voters, and his influence was instrumental in the launching of Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority,� Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition, and other faith based movements. Paul was a deeply devout Christian gentleman who had clarity in his convictions. He was both an intellectual as well as a political tactician who understood that all the great ideas in the world were worthless if they weren't put into motion through actual public policy. He was fearless and spoke the truth to power regardless. I spent hours listening to and being mentored by his speeches that I heard on cassette tape in the late 70's and early 80's while driving to speaking engagements and events. His influence on me was chronicled in my book, "Do the Right Thing"� and he was mentioned on the book jacket. All true conservatives mourn the passing of this truly great leader. Our prayers go forth to his dear family." Mike Huckabee, dec 18, 2008

They have decided many elections over the past 28 years. They go be various names: Salt of the Earth, White Trash, Xenophobes, Reagan Democrats, Racists, the Religious Right, Small Towners, Militias, Bigots, Trailer Trash, Hillbillies, Gunloons, Dumbfucks and of late Palinites. The GOP closed their eyes, swallowed their vomit courted and patronized these morons in their plan to become the transcendent political party in America. Trouble was, they succeeded so well that these idiots took control of the Republican Party which is now paying the price. Comeuppance!

A 23-year old bouncer cut the party short for Governor Christine Gregoire who was celebrating after a day of flipping burgers at a local festival reminding people of what she looks like, apparently she should do more of it.

When Gregoire, husband, and entourage hit Hannah's bar in Olympia, the gov. was the only one without ID. Protests from staff that she was the governor fell on deaf ears. Though she'd been old enough to drink for 40 years, the 23-year old bouncer was following the letter of the law and didn't relent. First husband Mike continued the celebration while the 61-year old governor went home presumably to change the locks.

Washington is a nanny-state, though predominantly blue. The strict laws concerning sales of anything residents may put into their bodies are such that minimum wage store clerks, bouncers, and even physicians are penalized severely for an inadvertent slip. Somehow it seemed like a fitting end to her evening, though she said she was flattered to have been carded. It is well documented that there is a long standing problem with bats in the attic at the governor's mansion since Gary Locke's residency, coincidence ? Bar bouncer turns away Wash. governor for lack of ID

Tony Snow was one of the few whacky conservative/Libertarian spokesmen who fellow media pundits not only tolerated but liked no matter his failings in truthiness or the propaganda he dispensed. Either as a guest host for the right-wing Rush Limbaugh Show, his own conservative radio show, moderator for the conservative Fox News Sunday Show and more recently brought in to put a friendly face upon the failing conservative Bush administration as White House Press Secretary. We assume that he is already playing a round on the front nine with The Gipper.

When Scott McClellan just couldn't keep lying for the Bush Administration, Tony Snow stepped in to give the lies a personable smiley face, who because of his medical condition, the media had to make nice with.

Chuck Rosenthall - Harris County District Attorney - is yet another Christian conservative Republican who got elected down here in Dumbutt, Texas by screeching about Family Values and that he would execute more people than any other DA in America (he has been true to his word in that anyway.)

Rosenthal's emails to his secretary Kerry Stevens went public a few weeks ago. Though not sexually explicit they were full of romantic "love you" and "miss you" and "Kiss you" poo. Though he admits he had an affair with Stevens back in the 1980's when he was married to his first wife, he contends the relationship is now platonic.

When the story broke, local church leaders and GOP operatives asked him to withdraw from the coming election. Rosenthal became angry and refused, but soon gave in and said he would not run, then got angry again and said he would run, but now says he won't run. Add Republican flip flopping to the hypocrisy!

The story here - as it was with Congressman Mark Foley, Senator Larry Craig, Senator Tom Vitter et al - is the Republican hypocrisy of going down on all fours for the intolerant Christian Evangelical vote while they refuse to walk the walk in their own personal lives. WHILE they attack others and make laws to throw people in jail for the same thing they do under the table.

Chuck Rosenthal is perhaps the worst of the bunch regarding the crazyass disconnect in American Christianity.

Rosenthal presides over the county which sentences more people to death than any other in America. He is probably most famous for not only fighting the Andrea Yates insanity plea for drowning her 5 children - because she did not want Satan to get hold of them - but also seeking the death penalty for the obviously and legally insane woman. Texas is no place for children.

A religion founded upon mercy, compassion, love, forgiveness and a bad execution has somehow been turned on its ass to become the loudest voice in America for merciless, callous, revenge and executions. How any religion could be so upended is a wonderment to human psychology. Though I suppose it is expected as those not able to think for themselves listen to false prophets like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Mike Huckabee and such. The Antichrists.

Rosenthal's second brush with infamy came with his 2003 journey to Washington to argue in front of the Supreme Court to keep Texas' 19th century Sodomy Laws so we down here in Dumbutt could throw homos in jail at our whim. Though he lost that case and made a national and international fool of himself, he came back to Dumbutt a big hero.

To add insult to the hypocrisy, Rosenthal - who argued the Sodomy case regards there being no right of privacy in the constitution and who as a good Republican has pushed that reactionary line of crap for his seven years as DA - has been screeching about his right to privacy being invaded by the emails going public. Texas is no place for children.

Larry "Widestance" Craig wins this year because perennial winner George W. Bush is just such a loser he can't win at anything at all anymore. Senator Craig gets the award not for getting caught soliciting sex in an airport men's room, but for being one of the endless stream of outspoken Republican Family Values bleaters who talk the talk but refuse to walk the walk. Adding another level of hypocrisy of a gay politician consistently voting against all gay rights legislation, and yet another level of hypocrisy of leveling immorality attacks upon Bill Clinton. Come on Larry...

The Idaho Statesman has listed the names of six men who have been propositioned by Craig. They also have one unpublished name of a man who has had sex with Craig but does not wish to be named unless it becomes necessary. Gay Rights groups have claimed Craig is gay for most of a decade with an even longer list of witnesses because of his anti-gay rhetoric and votes.

All Craig's abject hypocrisy aside, there are also the three absurd lies. [Keep in mind that Larry Craig pleaded guilty with his appeal denied, and before he entered his own stall, he looked into the adjacent stall and knew it was occupied.]

His wide stance? Go into a public stall and put both feet beyond the wall of either side (knowing someone is sitting next door.) Come on Larry...

His hand venturing into the next stall (which he knows is occupied)? He claims to pick up a piece of stray toilet paper behind the toilet bowl. Picking up someone else's used toilet paper in a public restroom? Come on Larry....

And lastly his claim that he would have to be a contortionist to slide his left hand palm up under the right wall of the stall which is no harder to do than contorting the right hand to slide palm up under the wall. Come on Larry...

And of course the coup de grace, saying he would resign and then later refusing to do so, giving the Democrats an entire Presidential election cycle to remind voters of the GOP Family Values hypocrisy which was half the reason they lost the House and Senate in 2006.
