Liberals want to ban your Bible.
 

If it makes you feel any better, I'm getting IMmed with song lyrics.

"Morning has brooooo-kennnnnnn....."
"Kill all the infidel noooooooo-velistssssssss....."

Deal. Does that mean that all judges appointed by a Dem president will be put up for a vote by a Repub senate? Or is the "Clinton exception" still in effect?

I agree. If you're going to fillibuster, you should be ready to talk for a looooooooooong time. Which means that you shouldn't threaten to do it if it's a BS issue. Fillibuster a wingnut district judge nominee? She'd have to be a fricken Yankee fan for me to do that. Supreme Court, on the other hand...

But isn't that the responsibility of the presiding officer? (This is a serious question.) Can't they get it to the floor and have Cheney make 'em keep talking? Call their bluffs, dammit. Let's see if we got any Stroms or Harry Byrd left in the Senate.

Wow. First, I agree with just about everything Pat Buchanan says on the Daily Show.* Now, I agree with something Slave says on one of his wackier days. Indeed, wonders will never cease.


*I'm a little behind. My TiVo runneth over. Sue me.

Oh, be serious. (That's Obewan Kenobe's dad, I think.) Cite to the fact that this election is dominated by the ABB faction?

That's like:

Me: "The sun'll come up . . . tomorrow . . ."

You: "Cite, please."

(Cool. If you volunteer to leave two hours later, and no one else does, you can bargain them up to three free tickets.)

Bush winning will be just fine. But, for these kinds of reasons, you guys had damn well better get some legislators in the win column. I can't believe the ads haven't started yet - "Okay, Kerry's toast, but HERE'S why you still need to get out and vote . . . "

If I remember correctly, all Clinton nominees who made it out of committee got a vote.

Roger Simon seems to think that Kerry is quickly generating an equally large ABK base

• By finally adopting the reactionary "Dean Line" (well, not finally, there's no such thing with him) on Iraq, Kerry has placed himself in the position of having to root against the forces of democracy in that country, at least until the November election. He must hope for continued slaughter, beheadings and the like from the rag-tag collection of homicidal sociopaths and paleo-misogynists - Baathist and Islamist - that constitute the "insurgents" in order to defeat Bush, so is acting accordingly. Barely was Allawi's speech out of the interim PM's mouth when Kerry informed us, in the opinion of one of the two major presidential candidates in the most powerful country on Earth, there would be no January election in Iraq. (From your lips to Zarqawi's burning ears, Senator.)
  
  Leaving aside whatever moral evaluation we could make of those remarks - that is, after all, a personal matter - what if Kerry wins using this rhetoric? What will he do when confronted with decisions to make on Iraq? Will he help them hold an election? If not, will he withdraw our troops? Will he defend the majority of Iraqis who favor democracy? He hasn't told the public - ours or theirs. I doubt he knows himself. But it could be worse, far worse, than what happened in Vietnam after we left.
  
  No, I take it back. I will make a moral evaluation. It's inescapable. One word: shameful.

If Kerry keeps making comments like this, this President could be the first since Reagan to win a majority vote.

Correction
 

I earlier posted that a certain confluence of events showed deep Dem involvement with Rather's Rewrites.

Since then, a blogger says he misunderstood another. The timing was off. There is no such controversy.

But, it would have been fun. It could have been another week talking about everything but Kerry's positions.

Ah, well.

Earlier, I had Kerry at a 75% chance.

You objected.

You were right.

"I agree, I'm not the expert on how the Iraqi people think, because I live in America where it's nice and safe and secure."

-- George W. Bush, September 23

Yes, this all during a press conference where the media idiots were asking the President what the people of Iraq think - and Bush embarrassed all of them by pointing at Allawi and telling them to ask him, seeing he lives there and he's their PM.

"Shhhh. Now, now. Don't fret. Kerry isn't going to get a chance to get us all killed. We've got this election in the bag"
