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.
Who would have ever thought that a newly Bush appointed Attorney General could possibly be worse than the previous Attorney General Ayatollah John Ashcroft?
Roberto Gonzales may not have forced daily prayer sessions in his office, draped curtains over the breasts of classical statues or poured Crisco cooking oil over his head to anoint himself with each new job, but as an incompetent Bush/Rove "yes man" Gonzalez politicized the Justice Department to such an extent than even Republicans finally had enough of him and showed Mr. Don't Recall the door.
Republicans firing Republican appointed federal persecutors because they did not pursue bogus indictments against specific Democrats opposing Republicans in the 2006 elections is what communist and fascist totalitarian nations do.
Henry Hyde, congressmen from Illinois dead at 83. Henry Hyde is most remembered as the loudest voice in congress denying women their right to choose an abortion and as the leading House Manager in 1998 to impeach President Bill Clinton. Though it was Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay who decided to have an impeachment, it was the once respected Henry Hyde who gave it the gravitas needed for it to proceed.
While Hyde and the rest of the other reactionary Republican House Managers fell over themselves talking the high moral ground over sexual matters, what went around finally came around to bite him on the ass, latch on, and follow him to the grave. His past long term adultery, unlike Bill Clinton's, ruined a marriage. As was the case with Impeachment House Manager Bob Barr who was photographed licking whipped cream off of women's breasts and paid for an abortion, as was the case with House Manager Bob Livingston who was found to frequent prostitutes, Henry Hyde also never recovered from the hypocrisy and the shame.
By Henri Broussard, Associated Press Writer, November 14, 2028 An anonymous source at Fox News has stated that Bill O’Reilly’s untimely death could be considered fair and balanced. Earlier this evening, the host of the long-running O'Reilly Factor, who was well-known for railing at his guests, apparently bit off more than he could chew.
O'Reilly, whose trademarks were repeatedly pointing his finger in the faces of any guests who displeased him, calling them idiots and cutting their microphones, antagonized the wrong liberal earlier this evening. Seventeen minutes into the hour-long show, Sgt. Dale Johnston, an Army veteran advocating an end to the war in Iraq, allegedly bit off O'Reilly's finger. Sources say there was some confusion at to who actually called 9-1-1.
Karen Lindy, the host's personal assistant, shrugged and commented, "I thought the producer made the call." By the time the ambulance arrived, O'Reilly had bled to death, but not before repeatedly screaming, "I'll still get you, Keith Olbermann!"
While being led away in handcuffs, Sgt. Johnston is reported to have said, "Tastes like chicken" immediately after he spit O'Reilly's bloody finger at a poster of Rupert Murdoch. Johnston's attorney, J. Chadwick Bloes who first heard of the sergeant while watching the show on which the alleged incident took place, hastily held a press conference outside the Fox News building. He is quoted as saying, "My client is suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome following fifteen tours of duty in Iraq. We'll be suing the O'Reilly estate, the Rupert Murdoch estate, and Fox News for two billion dollars. The deceased provoked my client in front of the show's remaining thousand or so viewers. I will be deposing all of these witnesses immediately." When asked about the urgency, Bloes replied, "Most of O'Reilly's viewers are now well into their nineties. Who knows how many will live to testify?"
Fox News has issued a statement requesting donations be sent to O'Reilly's favorite online charity, FIFOP (France Is Full Of Pussies). In an unrelated story, the website, which promotes the boycott of all French products, has been investigated as a front for O'Reilly himself. To date no indictments have been handed down to the mysterious webmaster, William O. Really.
O'Reilly's replacement has already been named by Fox News. Up-and-coming right-wing pundit and former porn star, Khandi Dhandi will get the Factor time slot with a new show called The Mammary Factor. A spokesperson from Fox is quoted as saying, "While we regret the loss of Bill, we're hopeful the new Factor will help our sagging ratings in this time slot."
Senator Craig has grabbed hold of Senator Arlen Specter’s plan to fight this thing! He is presently pulling his Minnesota guilty plea to take it to trial even though The Idaho Statesman has the names of three men who have been the recipients of Larry’s bathroom… Hmmm… Humor I suppose he would call it. One of the men also had sex with Larry.
Idaho is about as red as a state can get but with the added attraction of being the Whitest State. Idaho has a Black population of .6%, or 25 times less than the rest of America. Idaho is perhaps most famous for being the home state of the Aryan Nations and the annual Aryan Nations Jamboree. It was an Idaho judge who gave White Supremacist Randy Weaver a $3 million dollar reward for murdering a cop, a Federal Marshall at that.
Speaking of cops, Idaho has also become the home state for racist Bad Boy cops. Though Mark Fuhrman of OJ Simpson fame is the most well known, there are communities filled with police who have been fired for killing, beating and screeching racial epitaphs at Black people while on the job. It has become such a well known fact that racist cops from all over American now come to Idaho to retire.
Idaho is also famous for being represented by the most Right-wing Loon-ess to ever grace the halls of Congress, Helen Chenoweth. To enthusiastic crowds she sponsored endangered species barbecues and cook-offs, and even went so far to claim she would cut down every tree in Idaho! Not too long ago this Wicked Witch of the West was holding a baby on an off road excursion in an open jeep without either wearing "nanny-government" seat belts and was thrown out of the vehicle. Her neck broke and she died on the spot.
Even if a video appeared of Senator Craig having sex with a male goat in a public Ladies’ room while munching on raw fingers he chopped off of Black children, Larry would still garner 70% of the vote in Idaho. Which brings up a few questions? What will the RNC do as Larry drags this out through the coming election season? How many more recipients of Larry "Lips" Craig will be sliding out from under mens’ room stalls? And of course, with all this new attention on Idaho, will the Republican Party try moving Idaho up in the primaries to Christmas as it is even Whiter than Iowa and New Hampshire combined!
Attempted BJ Update: Senator Craig made the excuse that he was under duress and made a bad decision in pleading guilty. Larry did not plead guilty to the June 11th crime until August 1st. He had 6 weeks to think it out. Larry Craig is a very bad thinker. Which is a bonus in Idaho.
"Dog fighting is a terrible thing and I did reject it. Through this situation I found Jesus, and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God." Michael Vick Playing the Jesus Card.
With the guilty plea and the plea bargain submitted, the sentencing – expect a couple years in prison - will now have to wait until December. Hopefully December will be cold enough in Atlanta to deter rioting. Thanks to O J Simpson we now have a name for this dynamic, the Simpson Syndrome. Which can be easily confused with the other Simpson Syndrome, DUH!
The issue itself is about as low as humans can sink. All arguments defending this crap are off. Whether it’s the NAACP and Flacon Fans claiming racism or Black commentators defending it because it’s not as bad as this or that. But Deion Sanders kicked the issue through the goal posts when he said it only expresses the reality of Black culture. Bingo. Sub culture, Hip Hop.
I have defended Hip Hop and Rap as the poetry of The Hood for a generation, but as a biased dog lover, I have now had it up to HERE with this crap. This issue is not about third world chicken fights or Matadors facing death in a bullring. This is about man’s best friend being used to fight to the death (with the losers killed) not only for money, but more importantly, for the joy of watching something suffer for the macho fun of it. There is no redeeming social value involved. So now Dog Killing has been added to what the Hip Hop culture has come to most represent and promote: Revenge, violence, gangs, guns, prisons, pimping and murder. These are the heroes for a generation of Inner City Black kids. It has gone over the top.
To their benefit Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Bill Cosby, James Brown and a few others over the years have called this culture out for what it is to little or no fanfare and even less avail.
"I want you to tell people to love one another. I want you to fight to lift the standards back. What happened to us that we are now celebrating from being down? What happened we went from saying I'm black and I'm proud to calling each other niggers and ho's and bitches. I sung people up and now they're singing people down, and we need to change the music. Lift the music back to where children and their grand mommas can sit and listen to the music together." Al Sharpton in his eulogy as to what James Brown told him just weeks before he died.
Rap is not even music, it is culture. There is little if any musical talent involved. Ask a Rapper what instrument he plays or listen to him belt out a melody. What little music there is has likely been stolen and remixed. It’s the Disco of yesteryear with the bass turned up, replacing mindless dance music with angry dance music. Even the accompanying Hip Hop fashion is based on excessive clownish jewelry, loose clothing to better conceal large weapons, and face and neck tattoos to imply unemployable criminality. And of course that foul unintelligible dialect that demeans everything including themselves. But it is the glorification of revenge, guns, violence and murder that is Hip Hops’ central contribution to the low road of humanity. So there!
Senators Lott, Craig and Ashcroft sing eagle and flag songs as the infamous Senate White Boys Trio.
Larry Craig, Conservative Republican Senator from Idaho pleaded guilty today for soliciting sex from an undercover male in the Minneapolis Airport last June. This is yet another story far more about Conservative hypocrisy than sexual orientation. Here is Craig’s voting record on the subject:
• Voted YES on constitutional ban of same-sex marriage. (Jun 2006)
• Voted NO on adding sexual orientation to definition of hate crimes. (Jun 2002)
• Voted NO on expanding hate crimes to include sexual orientation. (Jun 2000)
• Voted YES on prohibiting same-sex marriage. (Sep 1996)
• Voted NO on prohibiting job discrimination by sexual orientation. (Sep 1996)
A few gay activists have outed Larry in the past but denials were swift, harsh and believed. No more. His Senate seat is now up for grabs this coming term. Will Idaho, the state of Helen Chenoweth , Randy Weaver, the Aryan Nations, bad cop retirement communities and more NRA Life Members than Texas allow the seat to fall to Democrats? Is there at least one well armed Democrat in Idaho whiter than a Klan meeting in Iceland.
Republican State Legislator, Robert Allen lost his job as John McCain's Florida Election co-chair for asking to GIVE a blow job to a cop in a public restroom for $20. Allen was one of those Family Value Republicans screeching about sex and homos.
The immigration issue is not about security, depressed wages, higher unemployment, drain on services or speaking English, but rather it is all about xenophobia, bigotry and racism.
Because of the strange presence of Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein, the anti-immigrant crowd of Senators has managed to have hearings addressing the present staple of Right-wing talk radio, amnesty for Border Agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean who shot an unarmed man in the back. Shooting unarmed Hispanics in the back is not a bad thing but a good thing. But you knew that already…
Ramos and Compean were following a van, pulled it over and the driver ran away. Both agents emptied their guns at the fleeing suspect who survived being shot in the back. The Agents then gathered up their spent cartridges, covered the incident up and lied about it. Witnesses other than the victim testified the man was unarmed and that the agents had never inspected the van so had no idea if there were drugs involved. A jury easily found the two guilty under the rule of law and the judge sentenced them under the rule of law. They both got 12 years in prison.
"These guys shot an unarmed suspect as he was running away. Then they lied about it and destroyed evidence. I can't imagine there are many people in Congress or anywhere who believe it's OK for cops to shoot an unarmed suspect." Prosecuting attorney Sutton said.
Obviously Mr. Sutton hasn’t a clue as to what Right-wing radio and Fox News audiences believe. Not a clue…
And here is the kicker. The comeuppance conservatives so deserve regarding this issue. After a generation of the Republican Party passing mandatory sentencing legislation at all levels of criminal justice, one of those mandates included the discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence. So the agents got an extra 10 years each. Tough shit. Senate panel will examine border agents' convictions
Senator Vitter, who a few days ago was on Rudi Giuliani’s short list as his VP running mate, isn’t any longer. This good Christian Senator, a Conservative Republican with his face in everyone else’s crotches, was also caught whoring back in 1999.
With a masochistic bent toward being spanked in diapers while moralizing on everyone else’s sex life, one can’t help but like the guy. But it is the serendipity of this that makes the story so interesting.
In the rubble of the Clinton Impeachment; Henry Hyde, Bob Barr and Newt Gingrich were taken down in one way or another, but it was US Representative Bob Livingston (R- LA) in line to become Speaker of the House who went down in flames. At the last minute Pornographer Larry Flint found the whore house dirt on the hypocritical conservative and that was the end of him [Well, he now makes a seven figure salary as a lobbyist on K Street.] Livingston was replaced in the House by yet another Christian conservative, David Vitter who soon went on to become a Senator who has now also gone down in flames because of Larry Flint .
Back in 1999 Vitter said he spoke to Jesus who forgave him for his whore house indiscretions. I am sure Jesus will forgive him this time too. Jesus forgives everyone for everything. That’s what’s so cool about being a Christian. What one DOES is irrelevant, as long as one BELIEVES, the stairway to Heaven is an absolute. Talk about a win-win solution! Sign me up! [Well, if I get that 77 virgin thing anyway.]
Where is the guy anyway? Want to put any money on a spokesman appearing shortly with the news Vitter is in a alcohol rehab program?
When it comes to dealing with Muslims, never ask a Jew what to do.
Paul Wolfowitz, who along with the other Youngsters of Zion; Richard Perle, William Kristol and Douglas Feith, is who got us into this dumbass war in Iraq. In 1991 after the carnage we wrought upon Saddam’s army running home with television sets from Kuwait on the Highway of Death, it was decided to let them retreat and call it a day.
George Bush the Father called in Secretary of State James Bakker, National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft, Joint Chief of Staff Colin Powell, Commanding General Norman Swartzkopt and Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney who all advised him that going into Baghdad was a very bad idea. Even the heavy intellect of Vice President Dan Quayle understood and advised. This was seen as a horrendous failure by the Jewish Neo Cons led by Richard Perle who within months, with the help of William Kristol, had hatched their plan to begin their Forever War.
These Neo Cons knew the politics of the time was not conducive to their plan as they had a wussy President with a dumbass staff, but they could wait. A year later Bill Clinton was elected, they knew he was far too smart to fall for their bad idea. In 1996 they realized that even if Bob Dole were to win, he was smart enough to never fall for their crap. So their only hope was to wait until the Voting Buffoons of America elected an ideological conservative President with even less brain matter than Ronald Reagan. It was a Godsend that their man also had an insatiable joy for killing and put religious dogma above reality. In 2001 George W. Bush became President and their plan for the Forever War began in earnest. September 11th was the turning point.
“Grown men should not be having sex with prostitutes unless they are married to them.” Jerry Falwell
Of all these television evangelists, Jerry Falwell has held the honor of being our generations' dullest knife in the drawer, but his sense of humor allowed him to rise above the rest of the pack and become America’s Clown Prince of Christianity. So many memorable moments he treated us with over the years.
Zipping down that giant waterslide in his Sunday Suit trying to save PTL Club's Jim and Tammy Bakker’s Christian Theme Park after they went to jail for embezzling poor dumb people. His infamous appearance on Nightline debating Carl Sagan on whether the space program was worth a plug nickel, arguing that it was a waste of money because he already new what was out there. And what was that Ted Koppel asked, “Why the firmament of course!” Falwell answered in such a matter a fact way that that argument has been now settled once and for all.
Jerry could even laugh at himself. In an appearance on Ron Reagan Jr’s TV talk show discussing sexual morals in America he defined sodomy as any form of sex other than straight coitus between married couples. When asked if that included oral sex Falwell answered, “Of course, only immoral individuals would ever even think of participating in such a heinous act.” When the studio audience exploded in raucous laughter even Reverend Falwell could not suppress a giggle.
There was his hilarious claim that the Purple Teletuby on PBS (who suspiciously happened to look very much like Rev. Falwell) was a homosexual intent upon turning our children into queers. And of course his most infamous standup comedy routine by declaring that September 11th was the fault of the ACLU, abortionists, Pagans, feminists, gays and lesbians.
The man who most defined the buffoonery to the Religious Right is no longer with us and will be sorely missed.
“Not even the Devil could energize Christian voters more than Hillary Clinton running for President.” Jerry Falwell telling us that Hillary Clinton is worse than even Beelzebub himself.
"Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity, As hunters, we don't need to be lumped into the group of people who terrorize the world with them. . . . I'll go so far as to call them 'terrorist' rifles." Jim Zumbo
To humans, the above quote seems innocuous enough, but to America's Gunloons, it's heresy and treated as such. No matter Mr Zumbo pulled the offending quote from his blog within 24 hours. No matter he groveled on his knees in apology kissing so much ass his face turned brown. No matter, in two days the NRA had him fired from his lucrative job at OUTDOOR MAGAZINE, had all his endorsements taken away, and destroyed his reputation and his life. In just two days! For telling an obvious truth! And hey Zumbo, killing a bear is about as close to murder as one can get, after all, bears are more cognizant than most members of the NRA.
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.)
