little brother want to slurp one?

Hillary flip-flops
on talking to Iran. Another teen builds a weapon stockpile. Global warming hurts sales for fall and winter apparel. Weapon parts sales are on the rise. Turkey wants to flip us off on the Armenian Genocide Resolution by expanding the civil war in Iraq.

Torture worked with John McCain.

"I can't quit you, man!"

Ann- The top story tonight: If one is extremely full of hubris and ignorance does it make it any easier to put your arms around them in a hug as say compared to a fat black cow... Sean?

Sean- And tonight we take a closer look at the black candidates running for president.

Ann- There aren't any black Republican candidates, Sean.

Sean- Yes. And there aren't any running on the Democrat(ic) side either- reverse racism or just not enough smart black people with the money to do so? Ann?

Ann- And right after the break, we've got a member of the Christian coalition here to tell us what Jesus would do if he were running for president.

Where's Maverick?

I hope to God that the Edwards rumor is not true...he is my favorite candidate.....It sounds suspicious like it was put out there by another campaign to ruin his chances in Iowa

"I just died in your arms tonight."

Seriously, is McCain okay? It looks like Bush is propping up his corpse and calling for emergency assistance.

"Remember the night we had together at the bohemian grove? Come here big boy."

hey, I can see the audience right through your ears Gdub

Curtilingus @ 6:

Where's Maverick?

A noncormist. A rebel. In McCain's case it does not apply unless he's telling a joke in which case it doesn't apply except that it's not funny in the least unless your braindead or the odd one out.

What the edwards rumor ellen?

Nuse me already George!

Nurse me already George!

Hit me with your rythm stick.....hit me,hit me,hit me...

Curtilingus @ 6:

Where's Maverick?

Oh shit! I read that and thought it said "What's a Maverick?"...

He's not here nor all there.

"Jesus Camp for adults"

Come gimme a hug, you wide-stanced hunk-o-man-love!

Bush: "True believers of the congregation! I have healed this man with the power of God running through my body!!! This poor soul entered this arena tonight unable to hug another man! The demons in his body prevented him from showing any emotion, and just look at him now! Praise Jesus!"

Congress Cannot Block With "Federal Immunity" Ongoing State Litigation Against Telecoms

Remember this gem: Judge Walker said the states were not obliged to follow the Federal government.

The states of Missouri, Maine, New Jersey, Connecticut and Vermont want telecommunications companies to hand over information about customer telephone records shared with the National Security Agency.

"The court concludes that federal law does not expressly preempt the states' laws at issue here," Walker said in a written ruling.

"The court agrees with the state officials that mere incantation of 'sovereign interests' does not suffice."

Walker wrote that while states are barred from "meddling" with federal government activities "this rule does not, however, oblige special treatment."

In other words, there are state level legal issues on privacy which Congress has no power to grant immunity, especially retroactively. Congress can changes rules on FISA and telecom immunity; but those rule changes have no bearing on the ongoing litigation and decision by Walker to continue with state-level litigation against the Federal government and telecoms in federal court.

Congress granting "immunity" doesn't do anything about the ongoing State-level litigation against the telecoms, raising some very interesting legal-political questions for the President, Congress, and the telecom lobbyists. Congress may have the power to pass laws; but it has no power to block State AGs from enforcing the State-level statutes. What you have to say about that 'GOP legal-counsel-shills working for the telecoms to avoid legal consequences for alleged war crimes related to illegal use of unlawfully captured information to implement war crimes"? I thought you didn't have much to say to the State AGs. How you liking that DoJ Staff counsel, allegedly complicit with using illegally captured information to use to abuse prisoner of war in violation of FISA and the Geneva Conventions? Congress may make rules that grant immunity for FISA violations; but Congress has no power to compel anyone to not enforce either State privacy statutes or the Geneva Conventions.

The legal question State AG's may have the chance to conduct discovery: To what extent, in violating state privacy statutes, is the State AG aware of evidence that the illegally captured information was used to implement war crimes, conduct prisoner abuse, or other illegal activity which violates the laws of war? Congress has no power to block the State AGs from reviewing all evidence related to illegal activity; and the Congress has no power to block the State AGs -- when they find evidence the Members of Congress and President refused to enforce the law -- from issuing indictments against sitting Presidents and Sitting Members of Congress for war crimes. Congress, if it chooses not to enforce the law, and in any way dissuade any State AG from enforcing State Laws against Members of Congress, may be in violation of the laws of war, Geneva, and the oath of office, 5 USC 3331. The decision of Members of Congress to "grant immunity" can be entered into evidence. Legislative immunity, when it is abused -- as appears to be the case here in re violations of State privacy statutes to advance war crimes -- can be waived. It's up to the court, not Congress or the President, to decide when Members of Congress have abused their legislative immunity.

comsympinko,
# 57... Ha!

Taxi! Get McCain outta her! He's drunk again! (God, I'm jealous. Karl, can I have just ONE drink?)

Ooops - "...outta here...." although as typed it might be just as funny.

Ah, so Edwards is supposed to have had an (heterosexual -- clearly not a Republican) affair, but there's no evidence? Yet a right-winger can get the story splattered all over the place.

Meanwhile, someone has signed an affidavit swearing that they saw GWB perform with 'skill' and 'enthusiasm' sexual acts upon another man.

Any chance that will ever make it into the news?

time to suck on your titty george

lord heal this asshole!

You know, I usually don't write anything on open threads, but I'm kind of pissed right now. We all know that Bush Sucks (and McCain too) but I'm so much more disgusted with the dems for giving into Bush on this FISA thing, the Kyle/Lieberman Amendment, knowing about the continued torture of detainees (and doing nothing), not working harder to pass the restore habeus corpus act and flaking out on the spending issue. I just don't see the point in supporting this party anymore. These motherfuckers have just melted at the idea that they may have to sacrifice their precious jobs to protect the freaking nation, its constitution and the bill of rights. The Iran thing, the AIPAC influence thing, the fake ass "universal health care" platform thing (excluding the Dennis "the real deal" Kucinich who does want a real single payer system). And fighting for progressives seems harder and harder as the money issue gets more and more salient. So C&Lrs Throw me a line. I need a kick in the ass right now to stay in the fight.

George Bush's stance on torture was well received at the S & M convention.

Good one!

Watch it WC it's the sugar free Kool Aid that you have to watch out for. The aspertame was made by Don Rumsfeld's company and it was recently proven to give lab rats neo-con delusions.

I do not understand why news programs give her the opportunity to mouth off like she does. Maybe because it brings in the (idiot) viewers? She certainly does not contribute anything worthy to the political spectrum. And considering the likes of her, and the idiots on RedState (did you read some of the comments their contributors were making about the family of Graeme Frost?) and the filth they spread, they have the gall to call us unpatriotic and un-American and America-haters.

"I smeared you in South Carolina with that outta of wedlock mixed raced bady thing and I get a hug? Now I wished I insulted your mama and I might a got a wide stance out of it"

You keep poking me with that lapel pin, I might just get a purple heart of my own.

dirty d @ 78:

I need a kick in the ass right now to stay in the fight.

Your fight is for the things you believe in, not a party. You can defend people who represent what you believe in, but thinking along party lines is what got this country in such a big mess. You are among many many many friends who believe in the same things you do, which outnumber the members of government many times over. So don't give up the fight. If you don't know a party that represents you, make a new one. It's always noble to fight and gain success from your ideas.

We can change this country into something to be proud of and trust, all we need is organization and commitment.
