Scott McClellan Tells truth, Dan Bartlett and Republicans Shocked and Puzzled


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.

Correction!



The above picture is of Ed Gillespe who replaced Dan Bartlett in 2007. This is a picture of Dan Bartlett. Please notice that Mr Bartlett is not wearing a flag lapel pin. In fact in none of the Google search results can I find him with a flag lapel pin. This of course means whatever he has to say does not matter. So please disregard this entire article.

Bush Spokesman Scott McClellan Gives Bush a Kick in the Head


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 by deceiving the American people with the reasons for war and claims the press was complicit with that deception. He also points fingers at the administration's outing of Valarie Plame and the 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

Michael Savage Makes Fun of Ted Kennedy's Tumor


When the news broke that Senator Kennedy had a malignant brain tumor, Jewish talk show host and America's favorite bigot, racist and dirtbag Michael Savage responded to the news in standard hate fueled savagery. He constantly played a clip of Arnold Schwarzenegger from "Kindergarten Kids" saying "It's not a tumor!", played songs by the Dead Kennedy's so he could keep saying "Dead Kennedy's", and other forms of popular Republican fun.

Michael Wiener is the the third most listened to talk show host in America after Limbaugh and Hannity. He is on live early evenings from San Francisco. So few listen to him there that they just assumed he was broadcasting from Selma, Alabama.

This of course reminds one of Rush Limbaugh's eulogies of Kurt Kobain and Jerry Garcia who he called worthless drug addicts and good riddance to bad rubbish, and even more reminiscent of the 2006 election where he made fun of Michael J. Fox Parkinson's disease. Or going back to Limbaugh's beginnings in Sacremento where he gained his fame by reading off the names of men who had died from AIDS and hitting the laugh or applause button each time. Character matters!

One might hope Savage has gone too far and this will finally do him in after so many years of his filthy racist blather. Especially when it was carried on two stations in Massachusetts. After all, he did get tossed off MSNBC for telling a gay caller "I hope you get AIDS and die!" Which is pretty much what he is saying to Senator Kennedy. But that was television not radio, and unlike television, the more bigoted, racist, stupid, and disgusting it is on the radio, the larger the share.

There is some cause to wonder why that may be. Like most things there is no single answer but being from Dumbutt, I can take a few good guesses. Of the millions of listeners a week Savage enjoys I would guess the vast majority are very likely listening from those old 13 confederate states where they live so down deep in those hollars they can't get FM radio or even television for that matter. They are stuck with AM talk shows all day and all night. Well, that and trillions of Christian AM stations which pretty much push the same intolerance and bigotry. But what about the millions of other listeners spread out all over this fine nation of ours?

Well if you listen these days to Savage you can see that those he says need to be eliminated changes with the times. He began with dirty lazy smelly African Americans, then with 911 it switched to dirty lazy smelly Moslem's, and over the past two years its been almost wholly dirty lazy smelly Mexicans! So Savage is riding high on the anti-immigration fervor, mostly in the border states, and most mostly here in Dumbutt, Texas.

There is something to all those old racist groups we remember seeming to have vanished off the radar, but the people in them still count in the tens of millions. The change is in the names, no big populations of the KKK or Skinheads anymore, the same kind of people have just regrouped, with the help of the Republican PR machine, semantically changed the definition of what they are from "racists" to "nativists". They also changed the names of their organizations to The Minutemen, or the American Border Patrol, or what have you. Oh, and they all vote! Like 100% turn out.

Huckabees Obama Joke at NRA convention falls flat


Gov Mike Huckabee at the annual NRA convention in Lexington, Kentucky cracked a joke that even the lunatic fringe NRA audience found in poor taste. Addressing the group from the podium, Huckabee responded to a loud backstage crash saying,

That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he — he dove for the floor.

Christian fundamentalist lunatic fringe Republican Huckabee later apologized to the lunatic fringe NRA.

I guess why it was received so poorly by the crowd was the implication that the NRA is gunning for Barack Obama. Or maybe just pointing their guns at him to scare him a little.

What with all the James Earl Rays' living on my street down here in Dumbutt, Texas and now adding this little NRA yuck to the game gives new meaning to Full Metal Jacket.

I must also commend John McCain. While sucking up this lunatic fringe organization in Lexington he choose his words correctly when he said we should not "dismiss gun owners as some kind of fringe group." Indeed, it is not gun owners who are the lunatics, it's the NRA, the most powerful right-wing lobby in America. McCain's aim is to woo NRA at its convention

Deport Lou Dobbs to FOX NEWS where he Belongs


It is way past time for CNN to dump Lou Dobbs. On television there is no angrier white guy, no nastier human being, no one who slings the xenophobic nationalist jingo swag more than Lou Dobbs. If I am just passing channels and I see his deformed angry spitting face, or even worse, that smug I know better than you condescending smirk of a smile, I become virtually violent. I want to grab his virtual head tightly under my arm and punch his face into flesh colored pixels until he shuts the * up!

Since 1988 I have been a watcher and writer of the Right-wing media and its characters. I have suffered through many years of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Dr. Laura, O'Reilly, Hannity, and even Ann Coulter, none of whom hold a candle to this angry condescending nativist (that's the new conservatively correct word for racist) who has taken nationalism further than even Germany in the 1930's.

He is so intrinsically hateful and horrible that when he is on I switch to FOX NEWS to get a far far more fair and balanced view of things.

US Customs to arrest Illegals fleeing Hurricanes


Our anti-immigration fervor has moved our new home grown federal police force ICE, closer to the old German Gestapo. US Customs has proudly let it be known that those fleeing diasaters such as hurricanes will be stopped, searched and if they don't have proper papers be arrested and deported. A death sentence for many Hispanic families. Also keep in mind that Hispanic LOOKING people who forgot their papers, or lost them in the storm will be dragged from their family and put in prisons.

Down here in Dumbutt we have what we call The Valley, This is an area larger than most states bordering on Mexico with very high Hispanic populations. Like any Hispanic community, most of these families have at least one family member or good friend who is undocumented. It could be the father, the child, the bother, the wife, the Aunt, Grandma, or just cousin Jesus who lives in the garage. How many will take the chance of getting on a bus or into a van to escape a deadly storm to lose a family member from deportation. The end of that person's life as they know it?

On a daily basis down here in Dumbutt we read in our papers or watch on local television our new federal police force, ICE, crashing into homes and businesses dragging hard working people out of buildings and tossing them into the backs of police wagons. Stealing mothers from children, children from fathers and leaving small business without a labor force and into the red. And believe it or not, the loss of business, sales taxes, rent and so on is becoming worse than the services drag this is suppose to be about. This is just proof in the pudding that this is really about racism, bigotry and intolerance. ADAF

Senate Democrats reject half percent tax on Millionaires for GI Benefits


At first this headline seems out of whack, shouldn't it read Republicans? This tax passed by the House recently put a .5% surcharge on millionaires to enhance the GI Bill giving our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan much needed help in perusing college educations. Can we surmise that even Democrats can no long increase taxes by any trifling amount to pay as we go?

Not really, this is a complicated parliamentary and political game involving separate forms of funding, in this case the differences between war funding and budget funding, and the politics of ending the war.

The bottom line is that any tax increase, even a half a percent upon millionaires or increase in any social program, soldiers or not, will be vetoed by George Bush and upheld by Senate Republicans. As we all know, Jesus hates taxes, it was the basis of his ministry as it is now America's.

The point of this article is a reminder that no matter which Democrat wins in November, that come February, without a presidential veto on all things reasonable as we have now, things are going to change greatly. In fact it may become so depressing to Republicans in Congress that perhaps it would be a humane endeavor to spend a little tax money to put safety nets below all Republican's office windows. Or not...

Polar Bears go Endangered due to Global Warming


Seeming out of whack with Republican ideology, the Bush Administration's Department of the Interior declared the first animal endangered due to Climate Change. I am sure the last holdouts still pounding the drum that global warming is a Marxist conspiracy by liberals to destroy America, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, are rolling in their graves. Oops, my recent optimism carried me away.

Delving further into the issue one finds it is not the canard first seemed to be. Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, in direct conflict with the Endangered Species Act has added riders exempting oil companies from drilling in polar bear habitat. He also angrily made it known that this would not cause any energy companies to have to clean up their air in Alaska or anywhere else.

Making it even easier to understand just how out of touch Bush Appointments are, Dale Hall, director of Department of Fish and Wildlife said:

"The law was intended to preserve species and their habitats from localized threats such as filling wetlands, felling trees and development. He cast doubt on whether far-flung conditions, such as emissions from tailpipes, feedlots and smokestacks around the globe, could be directly linked to the shrinking sea ice." LA Times reporter Ken Weiss.

"We have to connect the dots between an action and an impact on a species, We don't have the science to do that." Dale Hall

So damn if I don't have to apologize to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity. The Director of Department of Fish and Wildlife also is a clueless moron too! Polar bear is added to the endangered species list

West Virgina hot about illegal immigration


This article by the Houston Chronicle is a classic regarding illegal immigration, or more properly defined, immigration, or better yet, stupid white crackers hating Mexicans no matter the paperwork because they have nothing better to do with their sorryass lives. It is so silly that it makes us here in Dumbutt, Texas seem almost intelligent.

West Virginia has an Hispanic population of .7% or about 12,000 admitting to Hispanic heritage. The towns the men quoted below live in have ZERO Hispanics and ZERO illegal immigrants. America's new Gestapo, ICE, has yet to find an illegal immigrant of any flavor anywhere near the place.

"It's a terrible problem, I think they're taking jobs away from people that are here legally, and citizens, You have to pick the best of three evils [for President]" James Britton owner of Bruceton Mills Things 'n Stuff.

James' Things 'n Stuff store is in jeopardy from non existent Mexicans with plans to sell invisible pinatas in a pretend store across the street.

"They're not just taking migrant field-worker jobs. They're doing construction work, which pays pretty well,I think they're taking jobs away from people that are here legally, and citizens, I can't stand the Clintons. She is a very poor choice for president, I will vote for McCain." Ken Adams who retired in Parkersburg six years ago.

With no Hispanics in sight, Ken is worried that some may move in next door and compete with his retirement. Who knows, they may all beat him at shuffle board and checkers.

This article by Chronicle reporter Patrick Brendel sure says a mouthful about this immigration issue whether it was his intention or not. Few immigrants but lots of hot debate in W. Virginia Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article | Kick! Home



Jonah Goldberg Defends Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment


Jonah Goldberg Right-wing commentator and ceepy crawler Jonah Goldberg, son of sleazebag Lucianne Goldberg - friend of Matt Drudge and Linda Tripp - wrote a disgusting column last week defending the Tuskegee syphilis case brought up by the ubiquitous Reverend Wright video. In so doing, Goldberg put himself on a level far far below that of Reverend Wright.

Let's be clear on this. In 1936 the US Public Health Service in Alabama brought in 399 poor black men who had syphilis for an experiment. They did not tell the participants that they had the disease, and though they were told they were being treated they were not. As such many not only died from syphilis and its complications, but passed it on to their black wifes and children. The doctors were only concerned with autopsy results.

Because there was no cure for syphilis in 1936, Goldberg defends the case. There was treatment at the time which was called arsphenamine discovered in 1910 by Dr. Paul Ehrlich. Being the ugly creepy crawler Goldberg is, he failed to say that the actual cure - which was penicillin - was being cheaply mass produced by 1943. Seven years after the experiment began, and 30 years before it ended.

All this is of course expected from Republican commentators, but the coup de grace was this quote in the article:
Among scholars who’ve studied Tuskegee, there’s a lot of debate about how much — if any — racism was involved in the experiment.

That is such a foul, disgusting, absurd lie that like Ann Coulter before him, every major newspaper in the world that syndicates his column should have already thrown him out the damn door on his fat ass. Tall Tales About Tuskegee Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article | Kick! Home



After losing homes, Public Storage auctions off the contents


If things were not bad enough for millions of Americans on the edge, another kick in the pants has now reared it's ugly head.

Republicans deferring 4000 flag draped caskets and a trillion dollars of our money to Iraq. The Republican concept of self regulation causing millions to get thrown out of their homes and afraid to drive further than the the convenience store. Republican bootstrap ideology putting health care and college educations out of reach of millions of hard working Americans. And now a new insult to injury has reared its head.

One of the few industries that has benefited from the mortgage meltdown is the public storage industry. Overall industry stock is up 18% to 33% this year. There has also been correlating public auctions on the contents of storage units for the very people who went broke losing their homes and now cannot afford the storage fees.

Millions of Americans have kids in danger on the other side of the world, they can no longer afford to drive, they are losing their homes and now all their stuff. And come November most of them will vote Republican giving those who caused them all their problems 4 more years of making it all even worse for them. Why is that?

a) God
b) Guns
c) Negroes
d) Mexicans
e) Queers

Atheist Specialist Jeremy Hall vs Maj. Freddy J. Welborn



Stationed in Iraq last year, Specialist Jeremy Hall put out the word that he was having a meeting of fellow atheists. Several soldiers joined him and to their surprise even an officer attended. It turned out that it was no ordinary officer but Maj. Freddy J. Welborn, a crusader for Jesus in this war between the two big religions Of The Book.

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has taken up Hall's case in federal court with a suit that contends his First Amendment rights have been violated.


“People like you are not holding up the Constitution and are going against what the founding fathers, who were Christians, wanted for America!”

Maj. Freddy J. Welborn who went on to threaten Hall and his group with baring their reenlistment and military charges against them. Specialist Hall was sent home early from Iraq because of threats from his fellow troops.

There are many such incidents over the past several years concerning officers proselytizing evangelical Christianity to soldiers who have no choice but to listen. The military believes that a belief in God makes better killers. And who can argue with that? Soldier Sues Army, Saying His Atheism Led to Threats

This story takes me back...

rack jiteIn the sixites on my first day in the Army I filled out the "dog tags" form and passed it through a little window in the room. You get two dog tags which you wear around your neck on a chain at all times. One is for the medical corps to put in their dead-bag and the other to place in your mouth and then give you a smart kick in the chin to embed it into your skull for the corpse corps to later retrieve.

The last line of the form is imprinted with your religion. I put in "N/A". A few minutes later a personable old sergeant sat down on the bench next to me handing me back my form. He asked what religion my parents were? I replied Catholic. He said, "Write Roman Catholic on this form here son."

I argued the point but he was having none of it and leaned into my face to strongly spell it out for me. He told me in training and stateside duty I would be harassed by the NCO's and the Officers and constantly have the crap beat out of me by enlisted men. That if I were to end up in Vietnam, which was very likely, I would be shot by some good old Southern boy within a month. It was the first time I had heard the word "frag". It was a pretty compelling argument for a newbie, so I gave in and wrote "Roman Catholic" on the form. And being no dummy, if anyone wants to know my religion today, it is still Roman Catholic...

Charlton Heston, America's favorite NRA Nut Succumbs


Charlton Heston passed away today from complications from Alzheimer's. From his celebrity status of playing demigods in endless movies he became a malgamation the characters he played.

Heston helped the NRA move from a reasonable sporstman's organization to the most powerful and feared right-wing lobby in America. A lobby bought and paid for by the RNC and weapon and ammuntion industries, ensuring that America is, and will forever be, the most violent industrial nation on Earth. Heston became the voice that helped change this nation from a place that once believed in Loving Your Neighbor to Shooting Your Neighbor.

The eulogies are flowing in with most comparing Heston to John Wayne. A good comparison! For as America entered World War 2 and truly patriotic actors lined up to enlist and do their part, macho man John Wayne flat out refused to go because his movie career was growing and he did not want to lose money. John Wayne a yellow, cowardly unpatriotic Chickenhawk.

There are a few things that cannot be said in America which calling John Wayne a yellow coward is sure to be one of them. So let's not stop midstream in this troublelsome area. In the immediate present saying anything positive about Hillary or negative about Obama makes you either a racist or a bonehead. In the short term - since the war in Iraq - one cannot tell the truth connecting the word NEOCON to conservative Jews without being called anti-Semetic. And in the area of the 2nd Amendment, it is verboten to tell the truth that the driving force of so many wanting to much gun in their lives is because they are just aching to shoot some bad Black men. Here in Texas shooting unarmed bad Black men in the back has become the very definition of what a HERO is. Did I say all the things you can't say in just one paragraph? Shame on me! And shame on you for reading it!

God unanswers Parents Prayers and 11 year old Madeline Neumann Meets her Maker in Wisconsin




I was taking a break from slamming my head against the wall over the Bush administration's incompetence when I came across the story about the parents who prayed for their child instead of taking her to a physician. I didn't think anything could top the callous disregard for life our fearful leader and his cronies display in their slo-mo destruction of the freedoms I love. But I was wrong.

Apparently even God thought these people were such crappy parents HE knocked her off rather than have her remain with them. However because I am a Pollyannaesque character, I think there is a bright side to this story.

First, maybe God wanted her there with HIM. And who were these people to stand in the way of GOD! I know I wouldn't. Are you with me?

Two, maybe they just didn't like her. Ten year olds can be pretty annoying you know. All the time with, "What's for dinner?" and "Janie's mom doesn't make her eat this." and "How come we pray to Geebers, and the Rosensteins pray to Yobble, and Achchoo prays to Mumbleboo?" and that pre-adolescent killer, "WHATeverrrrrr." That "whateverrrr" can do it every time.

Are we really sure these people were praying FOR her?
Hey, Just sayin'... Think I'm being more insensitive than the parents? Digg | Reddit | Stumble | Buzz it! | Email Article | Kick! Home
