Down the Drain

Tom DeLay will not seek re-election.
Actually, this is not a good thing, as it would dealt him a crushing defeat in his backwater GOP stronghold come November. Apparently he is that smart.
But Tom still faces jail. And he’s way more the power player than Abramhoff. I sincerely hope this doesn’t derail his inevitable incarceration.
Ronnie Earle: do not back down. Put this asshole in jail.
Some love — waxing Nostalgic.

After watching these clips yesterday with Helen Thomas going after Bush, and with her as a guest with Wolfman Blitz, I can come to only one conclusion: I’d totally bang her.

AOL and Wingnuts

Posted by: on Sep 20, 2005 | No Comments

What is it with AOL and wingnuts? (Disclaimer: I used to work for them, so I have an account gratis.)
I’ve always noticed how AOL is just flooded with rabid, even violent, conservatives. It’s the Mickey D’s of the internets, I get that, but it’s still got tens of millions of users.
Just a small sample of tonight:
A poll asking who did a better job in New Orleans, Mayor Ray Nagin or George W. Bush. 66% went for the Shrubbery. (Yes, the poll is retarded, as it should of really been two polls asking for the performance of each.) A CBS poll has 58% of Americans disapproving of W’s response to Katrina. Why so lopsided?
A story about a Cindy Sheehan rally in NYC being shut down and a demonstrator being arrested for an “unauthorized sound device,” sparked message board threads with such titles as:

  • FUCK CINDY CUNT AND HER LIBS COWARD FAGGOTS
  • ‘BIG NOSE’ DISGRACES SON!
  • Sheehan rymes [sic] with Nazi
  • Liberals will be the down fall of this nation
  • BIN LADEN WOULD LOVE BIG NOSE CINDY
  • CINDY SHEEHAN A NATIONAL DISGRACE
  • Should have hanged the traitor
  • Tired of this Sheehan Bitch
  • ONLY SHOVED A BIT? SHE NEEDS A BULLET!

My favorite? A thread simply titled Whore. Ahhh…. my heart is full.
Sure, there was some more sane responses, but there was a lot of this crap. I mean, shitfuck, this woman’s son is dead, and she’s pissed off. How is patriotic to strip this woman’s dignity?
Is the rise of Nazi Germany not taught in school anymore? Is Orwell banned in red states? Is irony dead?
This shit’s just fucking scary. (And yes, I realize there’s probably a correlation between AOL’s demo and the Right’s anti-intellectualism… but still)

You know, for the last day I’ve been looking at this photo…
2005-09-14T201816Z_01_UNS93D_RTRIDSP_2_SUMMIT-UN.jpg

U.S. President George W. Bush writes a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a Security Council meeting at the 2005 World Summit and 60th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York September 14, 2005. World leaders are exploring ways to revitalize the United Nations at a summit on Wednesday but their blueprint falls short of Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s vision of freedom from want, persecution and war.

…and I just can’t it get it out of my head. Bush wrote “I think I may need a bathroom break?” to Condi. This is the leader of the “free” world — telling Condi he needs a potty pit stop. Does he need permission? Did Condi excuse him? Why is it a question rather than a statement? (Few things are more absolute than the urge to take a piss.) Was it code for a quickie in the bathroom? Just unfuckingbelievable.
Obviously, he was bored in this meeting. (It was the UN after all, an organization he uses only when convenient.) But you voted for him. It’s been 10 months and most of you are now against the Iraq war, think the fed fucked up the Katrina response, and his popularity is lower than Nixon during Watergate. BUT YOU VOTED FOR HIM! Where the hell were you in November? It’s not like the Shrub went bad since re-election.
I just don’t get it anymore.

…and, yes, what’s happening in New Orleans (and the entire Gulf Coast) is a terrible tragedy. Once I stop vomiting from the bungled federal response (it’s apparently New Orleans’ fault they don’t own amphibious military vehicles), Chertoff blaming poor people for not owning escape Escalades, endless press conferences, and the staged photo ops (levee repairs, hugging dark people, aerial map “strategy” sessions), I’ll have a lot to say about it.

OMG. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages — a comic depicting a bleak future run by liberals! (Ohhhh… scary!)
I mean, this is genius:

It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. America is under oppression by ultra-liberal extremists which have yielded governing authority to the United Nations. It is up to an underground conservative group (known as F.O.I.L.) led by Sean Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy and Oliver North to thwart Ambassador Usama Bin Laden

Fucking Brilliant

First, a few quotes:


Never met a Democrat he couldn’t casually accuse of treason.
If she didn’t have tits, she’d be stuck writing at Townhall.com.
Bilious Minnesotans led by someone who nicknamed himself “Hindrocket.”
Site gives off a strong scent of roast pork.
…he’s described himself as a “law and order conservative” (code for putting blacks in jail) and praised torturing prisoners before executing them.
Death to Muslims! Death to Muslims! Death to Muslims! It goes on like that.
Darfur is an especially favorite topic, because it both shows Islam in a bad light and has the advantage of not having to actually do anything.

What’s this, you ask? It’s the Conservative Blog Taxonomy!
