Can We Get Somebody To Call This Muthafuka Out?

Uhmmm when exactly are the Democrats planning on nailing the low hanging fruit that is Pete Hoekstra to teh damn wall? Between him and Tom Coburn Democrats should have had people wanting to storm the offices of the RNC by now. I mean seriously, what the fucking fuck?!

Remember All Those People Who Said We Invaded Iraq Over Oil?

Meet Peter Galbraith.

Now obviously we didn't invade for a measley $100 mill but I have a feeling that this story is just the tip of the iceberg.

Stay tuned...

Very Moving

I won't hype this up, I just think you would do well to go check out this account of a chance meeting between President Obama and a journalist who happened to be visiting the graves of some fallen friends yesterday at Arlington cemetary.

More On Tom Coburn's Fuckery

Rachel Maddow hosted Congressman Joe Sestak, himself a veteran, to talk about the hypocritical asshole that is Tom Coburn. How do you even formulate an argument in your own mind to vote to fund wars putting our troops in harms way with out a way to pay for them and then turn around and put a hold on funding for those same troops' and their families' health care? What kind of self serving, egotistical, ungrateful asshole can pull that trick off and look themselves in the mirror everyday? This is a story that should be reported on, blogged about, and tweeted EVERY FUCKING DAY until this muthafucka stands down.

Real talk!

Tom Coburn Is A Fucking Disgrace

If GOP leaders have any sense, have any balls, have any fucking sense of decency, they will make Tom Coburn's bitch ass stand down and let President Obama sign into law a bill that provides better health care for our Veterans.

If not then Democrats had damn well better tear his ass up day after fucking day over this shit. And I don't mean in a political sense either. This is beyond ridiculous and shows an indifference, nay a contempt for the very people we ask, hell in some respects demand, to put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms.

Let me stop before I REALLY get pissed off!

Say Goodbye To Greta

Lou Dobbs, racist extraordinairre has announced his resignation from CNN. I would put the over under at 7 on the number of days before FoxNews annouces his hiring.

Oh and I am taking the under. LOL

FoxNews will now accurately reflect the GOP in the evenings.

A bunch of old, angry lame white men.

President Obama On Veterans Day

Maybe There IS A Method To The Madness

According to Barney Frank DADT will very likely be repealed next year.

Next year's defense bill will probably include a provision repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," policy, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) told the Advocate on Wednesday. Kerry Eleveld has the fascinating details:

Frank said he has been in direct communication with the White House, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office, and other Congressional leaders about the strategy for ending the 1993 ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Though some moderate Democrats have recently expressed concern about repealing the policy during a midterm election year, Frank said resolve at the White House has never wavered. "The Administration is totally committed to this and has been from the beginning," he said.

Anecdotally, Frank recalled an incident earlier this year when Defense Secretary Robert Gates made a statement to reporters suggesting that repeal was still an open question.

"There was a point where Gates said, 'If we repeal "don’t ask, don’t tell,"'— and the next day he said, 'When we repeal "don’t ask, don’t tell,"'" said Frank. "That's because Rahm called him up. The White House has been consistently committed."

If the administration wanted, it could almost certainly put off DADT repeal until after the midterms without suffering a significant political price. The fact that, according to Frank, the White House is choosing to push for repeal before the midterms suggests that gay rights may be part of of the administration's political strategy. One can make the case that focusing on certain social issues could actually be the right move for Democrats in 2010.

Now just because Congressman Frank said it will happen doesn't mean it actually will of course. But there are a lot of people who should definitely offer up some apologies if it does. I consider myself a pretty progressive person, but some of the hyperbole from a certain segment of the left over DADT has been, in my opinion, ridiculouos. I am not talking about people pushing for the repeal, I am talking about those people who every other week were talking about how President Obama was "selling them out". I am all about putting pressure on President Obama to fulfill his promises and I am all about calling him out when he doesn't but a lot of that over the top rhetoric was bullshit and hopefully this puts an end to at least some of it.

He isn't perfect but sometimes its worth remembering that President Obama IS on our side on most issues.

FINALLY Ruth Marcus Concern Trolls In The Right Direction

Wait, you mean to tell me that Republicans are lying through their teeth about healthcare reform? Say it aint so...

A Twofer On The Rachel Maddow Show

I was going to do separate posts on this but what the hell.

First up, if the Democrats have any sense they will bludgeon Pete Hoekstra into oblivion over this obvious instance of running to the media with sensitive informations. And I don't mean any weaksauce "We are very dissappointed...." bullshit statements either. I mean some "We have serious conscerns and reservations about his ability to continue to serve on this committee..." type statements. Alerting a terrorist to the fact that we are monitoring his email. Are you fucking kidding me? Imagine if Nancy Pelosi had done it. Then flip it and turn it right back on his ass!

Now as far as this story I just can't understand why in the hell we are continuing to pay for Blackwater or Xe or whatever the hell they are calling themselves this week to be in Iraq after all the crap they have pulled over there. And trusting them to guard our own officials? Unnacceptable!

Hannity Caught Red Handed

See THIS is why FoxNews should never, ever be considered a news source.

The Daily Show With Jon Stewart	Mon - Thurs 11p / 10c
Sean Hannity Uses Glenn Beck's Protest Footage
http://www.thedailyshow.com/
Daily Show Full Episodes Political Humor Health Care Crisis

I can almost promise you that Sean Hannity won't issue a correction either. Thank God we have Jon Stewart to expose these idiots because the Villagers are too busy kissing their ass and sucking up to Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ailes to notice evidently.

Calling All Journalists With Time On Their Hands

By now most journalists and political bloggers have seen the clip of Rupert Murdock agreeing with Glenn Beck that President Obama is a racist. For the handful who haven't here you go.



Now of course, through a spokesman, he is denying that he "for one second" believes President Obama is a racist.

Now that may sound like an unequivical walkback, but it really isn't. Even though his spokesman didn't come out and say it, you will notice that he didn't retract his statement that President Obama SAID something really racist. Now most folks realize that the GOP and the conservative movement are now the kings of proclaiming that just because somebody says something racist doesn't mean they ARE racist. And my prediction is that the next time some Republican says something wildly innappropriate you will hear the wingnuts proclaim "well what about President Obama?"

We shouldn't let it go down like that.

So I am simply asking that any journalist or blogger (or both) who has contact information for Rupert Murdoch, to get in touch with him or his office and ask them to provide the statement that Murdoch is claiming that President Obama said that was racist. And I mean call or email or whatever every single day until the spokesman either has to admit they Murdoch was full of shit, or they stop responding at all which is just as damning.

So whaddya say? Anybody up for harrassing Rupert Murdoch into submission?

Happy Veteran's Day!!!

We salute our Veterans today and every day for keeping us safe and preserving the freedoms we so often take for granted. And for those who are still in harms way we pray you all make it home safe and sound.

An Armey Of Dumbasses

Paul Krugman tries once again to kill the zombie lie that negras and various other poor brown people caused the financial crisis which Dick Armey tries his best to resurrect. This line pretty much says it all.

But in Dick Armey’s world, in fact on the right as a whole, the affirmative-action-made-them-do-it doctrine isn’t even seen as a hypothesis. It’s just a fact, something everyone knows.

So How Did We End Up With Stupak-Pitts?

Turns out C Street has struck again.
