And don’t think she is not selling herself, behind closed doors, as a conservative flower of the South. Wife of Alpha Bubba and 20 years on the hoof in Arkansas.
From the MyDD post (the thread is a scream):
Rich Lowry at National Review Online:
I thought Hillary was excellent. She never makes a mistake. She seems ready for pretty much everything. And, while she has done her share of pandering to the Democratic base, she is the only candidate operating with an eye to the general election and to the very real possibility that she will be the next commander-in-chief.
We are so blessed. Bow down.

Just a thread… with a pic and a sharp toss at Hilarious.
contempt citations readied for miers & bolten. (TPM & MSNBC have stories)
anyone else think Samantha Bee is pregnant?
Figures. All those candadians do is come here, steal our jobs and breed.
NIE report politicized? shocking…..(from rawstory):
“Speaking under condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, several intelligence officers asserted that the report was sloppy and lacked supporting evidence. “The NIE seems… fiddled [with],” regarding Hezbollah, one high-ranking CIA official said. “Whether it is or isn’t is not really the point. The point is that nobody is ready to believe it.”
“As regards to the Hezbollah ‘threat,’” the official added, “they just threw that in. “Nobody in CIA talks to Hezbollah, and they’re living off their assessments from back in the 80s, which they really never got right anyway.”

Miss d, it must be like the CIA has a room where all the overseas station chiefs fill out standardized data sheets for the NIE…
Whatya get for # 7? How about #19? and so forth…
Thus, al Qaeda is the greatest internal threat in Bolivia, Chad, Iceland and Greenland, second only to North Korea
Remember how we had to get rid of that horrible Islamist regime that had brought more that a modicum of peace and stability to large portions of Somalia?
Yet more proof that our Global War On Terror is actually a war of terror for the unfortunate people condemned to live in the countries we decide to invade and/or sic our proxies on.
BTW, that’s the entire “story,” really more of a blurb, and it’s buried deep in the recesses of the NY Times‘s world section.
‘Nobody in the CIA talks to Hezbollah’
Hezbollah needs a dog …. all the scare stories we are told are bs, imo. Really, people should just do what the people of the Soviet Union did, realize they are being fed constant propaganda, ignore it and go on with their lives. The problem here is that people still believe the propaganda.

That’s a riot, a diary with only 8 recs getting pushed by the invisible hand to the rec list!! The worst example of that was a diary that could have won the ‘stupidest diary of the month’ award lifted up to the rec list with about 14 recs. It was written by one of the boobsie twins. A commenter who objected was relegated to the secret email target list, well that is a guess, but it was pretty obvious she was not welcome at dk – ‘if you don’t like here’ blah, blah.
It’s so frightening XP, the existence of these prisons. I just read the ‘Prison Town’ site, posted by IP in the last thread and I wonder how it all happened so fast .
A few years ago people were posting about ‘secret detention camps’ and suspicious trains being built in the US. I used to read them, but doubted it was true. Because no ‘mainstream’ media outlet was saying anything about them.
I do remember the story of the little Canadian boy and Catnip did do a great job on that story .. but you’re right, the media no longer covers such stories. If they had that family would have been out of there very fast.
The most awful part of this is the profit that is involved. As if we could not make money doing something positive, like providing schools, homes and jobs for the same people.
Anyway, thanks for the story, and the photos on your blog …. I will tell as many people as I can about it. Also, have you ever thought of submitting your articles to publications like the Nation, eg? Or to newspapers around the country who are often looking for material. Eg, our local papers ‘The Southampton Press’ might print a story like this … plus you get paid if they accept it. The public needs to know where their tax dollars are going.
#127 – liberalcatnip
I was meaning to thank you for blogging about Hutto and that little boy. You and Annamarie were a great source of information. I couldn’t spend as much time as I wanted too because it was happening the same week my sister was getting married. So I had to sneak a post or two early in the morning before people woke up.
*************
I am really appalled by the fact that Kos, a son born here to immigrant parents, refuses to address this issue. When people talk about anchor babies, earth-to-Kos, they are talking about you pendejo. I understand that he may not want to talk about immigration 24/7, but come on, you would think when you have people like Dodds and other xenophobes who also happen to be Democrats demanding that all immigrants and every anchor baby be deported, he would take issue because the natavists can easily call him an anchor baby.
Ooops, the last two paragraphs are from XP’s post in the previous thread … meant to blockquote them …
Re Kos being from immigrant parents, I don’t think he has any real interest in anyone who has not ‘made it’. He seems to only use his immigrant heritage when it might benefit him, eg, when pretending to be a ‘liberal’. I have never seen Kos write about any issue that involves human compassion. I have a feeling he actually despises people who do as ‘wimps’. when in fact, it is he who is the wimp. I’ve seen him on tv, I squirmed and thought for the umpteenth time ‘why can the left not find someone who doesn’t come across as a nerdy, little wimp on tv’. But maybe that’s the idea.
Yeah, Catnip does some incredible writing on these human rights issues … her stuff on torture also … Catnip, why don’t you too submit some of your articles to small, local newspapers across the country? There are thousands of them always looking for material. If they accept and get to know you, it’s a way to make some money also. In fact most people here are good enough writers, and on material that is not covered by the media, to branch out from the blogs and into the regular press, especially local papers … a lot of people are getting their letters accepted more now … so, who knows …
Kathy Griffin had a good bit in her show last night. She was being honored as an Irish American. She called her mom and asked about her grandparents coming over in steerage. Yes, thats true her mom replied proud as can be. They also had 6 kids and she was pregnant. Kathy then asked “Hey mom, why is it you and Bill O’reilly hate mexicans again?” Kathys irish catholic grandparents had 16 children total.
Sabrina–one of the changes made to dk was that you could reveal which diaries you rec’d. or not. since I am not a user, I don’t know if there is a correlation between number of recs and number of displayed recs.
but certainly, a system where you can’t see who’s gaming the system is hopeless.
BTW… Hillary Clinton was at the same awards ceremony – she’s irish you know. Even if you arent a Kathy fan catch the episode just for the bit of kathy trying to get a pic with clinton.
Lol, Bhhm, I bet you’re right … everything is about forms … but they get to dress up in raincoats and wear dark glasses while filling out the forms. And maybe, like Porter Goss et al, they can hire a few prostitutes and send us, taxpayers, the bill ….
JJB, all we do is bring misery wherever we go …. that war is not on any terrorist groups it is on the people who own natural resources we want. Making them weak, makes it easier for whatever dictator we install to auction off their national resources to criminal, global Corporations ….
I have not a single candidate talk about our disastrous, decades long Foreign policy, other than Ron Paul (he’s been talking about it for a long time) and Gravel to an extent. I mean about totally changing it.
Miss D, not sure what you mean about the changes re rec’ing a diary. I haven’t noticed anything different since a year ago. Eg, if you rec a diary, your name goes into the little box. I didn’t know there was an option to hide your rec somehow. Besides, the adm. would know who rec’d and they are the ones people would want to hide from. Lol.
well-this is what I found from my user page:
Website: http://eondigest.wordpress.com/
Email: youcan@bitemyass.com
I’ve been banned!
You have not allowed others to see what diaries you have recommended. If you would like to, you can do so on your display preferences. “
That link goes to wordpress Miss D. Where have you banned from for not allowing others to see what diaries you have rec’d? Not sure I understand. Maybe there is an option on the personal page at DK, hadn’t noticed if so. Whose email is that btw?
Sorry, I’m being dense I know …. maybe in need of more coffee ….
i was just showing what turns up on my user page at dk–I guess pasting it was confusing without the format.
I can’t see how it works because I don’t have comment priveleges or the ability to see who recs diaires. so I don’t know if the rec #s are associated with names, or if they indicated anon recs.
i always love how kos admits he never understood the concept of “community” — until he bought a big home in oakland and deigned to speak to his neighbors. who clearly are not losers.
SB,
The only two prominent political figures to publicly offer a genuine alternative to the Permanent War Machine foreign policy of the post-WWII era were former cabinet secretary and Vice-President Henry Wallace in 1948 and Senator George McGovern in 1972. Both were villified as hopelessly naive and foolish, and the former smeared as a Communist sympathizer/dupe. It’s true that Wallace may have been blind to the true nature of Stalin’s regime (he himself would say this was the case in the early 1950s), but he was just about the only person of any stature to point out that we were aligning ourselves with gangsters and right-wing thugs in Italy and Greece in our supposed democracy building in those two countries, and had this to say about the Truman Doctrine: “Today, in blind fear of communism, we are turning aside from the United Nations. We are approaching a century of fear.” That isn’t the only Wallace quote that looks far more perspicacious than what Truman, Acheson, Eisenhower, Dulles, Lippman, Krock, the Alsops, et al. were saying back then. Look at this statement: “The American fascist would prefer not to use violence. His method is to poison the channels of public information.” FOX News and wingnut talk radio are simply present-day incarnations of the Hearst and Luce empires that Wallace had to deal with, after all.

ROTFLMAO
In some random hidden comments thread on I diary I can’t be bothered to read:
To which Elise responds:
Hey Jason, I seem to recall that you commented last week. Yes, apparently you haven’t be here in ‘a while’.
Poor DD.
He has never managed to insult me. None f them has.
I realise that is too complicated for them to grasp.
Part of Brown’s new “security plan”
I am sure that will go over well. All I have seen for the past few years is a very anti-BBC streak in Britons online. They are sick of supporting it.
Just found this rather interesting bit that proves Chris Matthews does have some impressive cranial candlepower lurking behind that clownish exterior (he’s not an idiot, but he plays one on TV). Here’s Tweety Blueballs slicing and dicing actor Sam Waterston’s promotion of Unity ’08:
On the plus side, it appears Fred Thompson is officially out as New York County District Attorney, and Waterston will be replacing him on “L&O.”
Credit to Eschaton and MYDD for that material.
Also, more from Henry Wallace. Here’s his 1947 speech condemning the Truman Doctrine, with some pertinent quotes:
You could deliver that speech today, and you’d hardly have to change a thing.
IOZ on Alberto is a great read.
“…Senantors Specter and Leahy, honor amputees who can’t even enforce their own subpoenas or contempt citations, let alone, ye gods, end a numbingly disastrous, criminal war. Bested by a twit with a faulty memory. What a day for the Greatest Deliberative Body Evar Assembled.”
http://whoisioz.blogspot.com/2007/07/alberto-agonistes.html
JJB – that’s a great speech… very foreboding and far too true. That we had such leaders today.
“Werther” on how to read an NIE….
Yes.. as they die in the modern version of trench warfare they don’t cry to the heavens
O Glorious Moment! I die for the Homeland!”
No, they still cry for mother.
Apparently Elise has discovered another part of her body about which to obsess:
——————————
Kind of sounds like a frat boy, eh? Obsessed by tits and ass! I really do think the speculation that she’s a man may be dead on.
Miss D, that’s strange that you get that message in your personal profile. Was that just an excuse for banning, and what’s with the email?
I see nothing that confirms it though …. if I rec a diary, my name appears and I see no way to avoid that …. could be missing something. But I see what your question implied. If this were possible they could game the system by not being id’d however, it still looked really suspicious to see that diary on the rec. list with only 8 recs. It would be better to have names, even they are biased imo. Unless they are voting multiple times and want to hide that. Someone should ask Peeder ….
Thanks for that, aemd – IOZ is correct, pulling no punches about the spectacle of watching the US Congress playing the fool to a sneering, dim-witted criminal who is clearly not intimated by them.
Now they waste time on the contempt process which Bush has already told them he will render useless, and he can.
Big deal, re that ABC news release. It was just a Committee vote, now it has to go to the entire House. More waste of time. Then we watch the WH give the people the finger again.
THEN WHAT! Will that be enough? No, then they will ‘explore’ Inherent Contempt’ but not with the jail option for Harriet and Bolten, I bet. That should take another few months. And, it does not eliminate the courts from the process. They can appeal to the courts re (lmao at the irony) habeas corpus. Would love to see them told that a US Citizen never had a right to Habeas Corpus, as Gonzo said.
Can Bush pardon them if they are thrown in jail Contress? Supposedly not if they are not held criminally, but civilly. But this Congress is so stupid and Bush et al so aarrogant, who knows?
The only way is Impeachment, but more and more I’m thinking, ‘not with this Congress’
LOL ABC “breaking news”
The Democrats are doing the exact same thing Bush is doing, running the clock.
And they say Washington can’t “work together”.
All you can do is laugh.
gurgling on the bong
If Elise is a pimple on the ass of the Universe, does that make her ass an ass on the pimple of the ass of the Universe???

Whuh_oh-hoa -hoa….
just kidding-about the bong of course.
LOL Here is a comment from the IOZ post that aemd links to above:
Yup, yup: Knife the fucker. Sounds about right to me.
I’m worried most about the cellulite in their heads. It’s tough to imagine how a better case could be made for the revocation of women’s right to vote than Elise G. Harding & the Energetic Squad. When does she announce that Jimmy Kimmel is dumping Sarah Silverman for her following her special political segment on The Man Show ? I can’t wait.
Big fun over there, with Ghost of FZ:

know that I’ve ever witnesses as much sexism in a single diary as what is pouring from you. Such a sexist pig.
by taylormattd on Tue Jul 24, 2007 at 06:27:07 PM PDT
Oh taylormattd, have you quite forgotten the “bitchcuntwhore” diary by Delaware Dim?
The rest of the thread is hilarious too. Eternal Hope says about me: “she would ask people about their private sexual crushes just because they disagreed with her.”
LOL, they have such remarkably twisted little brains.
Might have known… Adam B’s “case” is all hot air…. he was torn to shreads at Emsocks. All lies about “freedom of speech”… and he all but acknowledges that Kos does not want it known where the money is coming from…. nutin but a gang of Sleazy White Boyz.
lucid, no. 29,
Isn’t it, though? And Gore Vidal is the only person who ever cites him today. The powers that be in the Democratic party and the MSM conspired to make him look like a half-crazed simpleton. The fact that he was an extremely successful businessman who got rich twice in his life by developing a high-yield corn seed and a breed of poultry that became the predominant egg-laying chicken on the planet counted for nothing. OTOH, we have Truman, bankrupt haberdasher, minor cog in a slimy political machine, with nothing more than a high-school diploma to his name, setting (however unwittingly) a long-term course of death, destruction, and political oppression for countless millions of people.
lucid – re: Elise being a man: no, I think she’s a woman whose self-image is based entirely on what men think of her body and her “sexiness”. Because of that, her point-of-view is usually identical to that of the men she’s trying to impress. The sad fact is that there are millions of women like that in the world. She professes to be a “feminist” but she’s just another confused man-chasing bimbo.
Boy they are really pumping this Bill O shit for all its worth… kinda like the Rosie O’Donnell vs Donald Trump brouhaha that was staged to give BOTH ratings boosts.
Bill O and Kos must be slapping each other on the back … more hits… higher ratings… it’s all good.
Lucid, I think people got to make up their own minds about that – lol! Poor woman, really I feel sorry for her …. no woman should feel the need to keep begging ‘please believe me, I AM hot’ – never saw anything like it before on a political forum, but then, this is DK and women are not exactly a valued part of society there.
Hey, Luscious Vagina was here just a week ago, or was it less? Poor guy, I think he’s a bit simple really. Not only was he here, he wrote a diary based on a comment I made and then deleted the diary (before I saw it) but did not include the most important question, which would have made my point perfectly.
Anyway, waving at DD …. stop peeking in at the ‘girls’ here … didn’t he promise he was going to go ‘cold turkey’?
*********
JJB, thanks for the info on Henry Wallace and McGovern…. I always enjoy reading your posts, I learn so much from them … it seems hopeless to think we could ever change anything when it is so ingrained in the culture now. That if you promote alternative policies to war and destruction, you are a ‘wimp and a traitor’!
We need an avalanche of people doing it, it’s always just a few which makes them easy to marginalize ….
Aemd you were right, that IOZ piece on Gonzoles is defenitely worth reading ….
32-SB-I wrote the other stuff in my profile (banned users can still access their profile)
I heard the House vote on the contempt citations will be scheduled aafter the august recess.
SB,
[N]o woman should feel the need to keep begging ‘please believe me, I AM hot’ – never saw anything like it before on a political forum, but then, this is DK and women are not exactly a valued part of society there.
Actually, that’s pretty mild compared to the things Emsock used to post in her early days on DK. At one point, someone asked if something or other was “hot,” and Emsock replied “I had to change my panties!” The question is, is this behavior caused by low self-esteem, or a desire to manipulate people by appealing to the lowest common denominator?
A little more of the kos kop elise and her stance regarding the objectification of women:

I nearly posted about that. I guess Kos is Rosie.
The list of advertisers and the boycott is killing me. Like O’Reilly has not been thru any of this before. He did months of Rosie bashing. He has smeared everyone on left. Insulted gays, blacks and hispanics. But Daily Kos is gonna take him DOWN.
Every already either loves O’reilly or thinks he is an asshole. Most dont even need details to choose a side. He has a core group and wont go away until he retires. My god, Larry King probably has an oxygen tank under the desk. CNN will keep him on till he is in the ground.
Truth be told, I thought Bill actually creamed the Clinton guy last night. Loved when he read the comments about her calling her a slag and george bush with tits.
Guess it keeps the Kossacks from looking into what companies John Edwards is invested in. and who are in turn funding him.
You’re probably right SV. It’s just that it almost seems so perfect a caricature of the ‘little sister’ that it makes one wonder.
btw – that whole thread is pretty vicious toward you. I can’t fathom the depths of their grudge holding.
SB – I think they all have severe self-esteem issues & overcompensate with their bulbous egos.
They are also conveniently forgetting that they forced over 30 of Ann Couter’s sponsors to drop her…. and you didn’t hear her whining about it endlessly
Boohoohooman, put down that bong – weed the damn FAQs! Oops, should say ‘read’! Anyhooo, please read the words of God here and either abide by the ‘rulezzzz’ or (ready for this, all together now) ‘don’t let the bong hit you on the way out’!
Okay, Bhhm – pass the bong … (I keed if anyone is spying on us) Lol!
…I can’t fathom the depths of their grudge holding…
I can. But remember, I got booted off the sainted Ms. Boards back when. A few months before they finally went under for good. Elise has Highlander Syndrome. There Can Be Only One ™. Sometimes also known as Queen Bee Syndrome. She wants to be the only girl on the bus, or at least rule over all the other girls.
LOL It’s the WashTimes.. but still:
We’re worms! Vote for Us!
ugh… further down the thread blogroller quotes:
No Elise. We really don’t want to hear your sexual fantasies on a political blog.
JJB, I think it probably is using people who have low self-esteem – you could not use those who have a good self-image to appeal to the lowest common denominator, as they defintely do.
The O’Reilly thing is more of that. Appealing to the lowest common demoninator. They are going to “Bring Down O’Reilly’? How about bringing down this criminal administration? What a waste of valuable energy. O’Reilly!
I ask again, what HAVE they accomplished? What great victories can they point to? Zero, except – Kos is rich! If that was anyone’s goal, they should be happy.
Cowards. Most decent blogs will not permit talk about a user who has been banned because of the unfairness of them being unable to respond. They are extremely jealous of SV …. she is clearly the kind of woman they would like to be, (or have lol). Smart, fearless, happy with her life, a beautiful family and she could care less about their petty little blog. She was RIGHT about DARKSYDE and about MissLaura and DHinMi et al, she had a great bullshit detector and that scared the poseurs for obvious reasons, and people respect her …
They have a lot of reason to keep trying to smear her – everyone knows why they wanted her gone and everyone laughs at what they tried to replace her with. What a compliment it is to her that she is so memorable … she certainly made an impact … and they sit around like nasty, little old crones gnashing their teeth because she won. She is the victor. They left a record of their viciousness and of her fearlessness. They can’t erase it so they have to keep trying to justify it.
Creepy people (and they are very creepy) like elise and clonecone, paintykat, taylormattd, et al imo, act like people who are very unhappy in their own lives and jealous of those they perceive to be superior to them.
SV has respect, in her personal life and online. Despite all their efforts, she shines, they look mean and petty when they smear her without having the courage to face her. She has a blog after all. Too cowardly , she would wipe the floor with them … it would be a sad spectacle to watch when they were without the backing of the ‘administration’ and without their ‘troll buttons’ But if they had any decency they would either stop smearing someone who is not there to respond, or go to her blog and have the guts to say what they want to say to her face!!
But they are cowards and they will never, ever do what she had the guts to do, face them on their own astro-turf, and tell them the truth. They’re only capable of sitting safely in their basements, and sniping from a very safe distance. And these are the people who are supposed to be saving this country!! Lol! I’ll take SV anytime …..

I was LMAO reading Adam B ‘s huff and puff against the guy who filed the FEC complaint. What bluff and bluster.
It’s not the FEC claim per se, (though they care)- It’s the fact that questions are being asked that can lead to attention and negative publicity that their spineless patrons in the Party can’t handle. Adam reminds me of the irate suburbanite who – night after night – falls for stomping out flaming bags of poo on his doorstep but of course won’t tell anyone about it for being seen as the ass. The truth is, they can’t handle ANY thoroughgoing examination. The negative press has really rattled their cage, like the Jet Blue deal. What corporation, though, should be supporting Limbaugh, Markos or any other personal politically involved fiefdom? Adam B is nuts, more political hobbyist than seasoned professional. Yeh the guys a real A- list attorney….. in a chatroom. The RW is already on to their bullshit and will hang said hypocritical bullshit around Dem candidates necks.
Its so funny that DK is positioned as the “liberal” branch that Hillary and the others might consider going out on a limb for – all prior to sawing it off in a swing further right before the general election.Enjoy it while it lasts. Too bad we’re now not even halfway through with the Carnage in Iraq. Way to push em back on their heels.

Outside current hot topics here, but did want to follow up, for those who are interested, by posting the LATEST from an email I received from Jonathan Greenberg, one of the original activists/litigants re OPPOSITION to the:
OUTRAGEOUS PLAN TO OBLITERATE WAHINGTON SQUARE PARK (aka, “redesign)
Here is the text of his email with the events.
One event he mentions is soon… so apologies for any NYers who may have wanted to attend. It is at 6:30 tonight at Judson (wonderful liberal) Church, facing the south side of the park. It is the flick on YouTube, the 1 hour doc I linked earlier, but apparently the filmmaker has updated it and it will be shown in real life.
Here’s jonathan’s update:
I noticed in some natter or other, filler in sF Gate that, in the blither of Great Works that Pelosi is promising … masses more votes on Iraq, LOL, it stated that one resolution will say:
No permanent bases should be developed.
You have to hand it to the Dems. The find their rain shoes, umbrella and rain coat by the time the storm is over.
Fucking collaborators.
Here we go…. Jerome “Conman” Armstrong posted the full article on MyDD without posting the link to The Nation… and once again trying to take credit for something the blogosphere DID NOT DO… I guess he wants everyone to link back to him…
The Boyz are trying to play all sides of the fence … positioning themselves to where the money might fall…
Anyways… I was just mentionning how the Boyz were silent on the 50 State Strategy… The Nation (not Jerome) has just posted a very interesting article online:
Of course it won’t last under Clinton… Rahm the “Architect” of the 2006 win (as he likes to be called)… will push Dean off the podium before Hilliary even takes office…. no one is fooled by them not going to the DLC convention fucking Rham wrote the god damn book… remember “The Plan”.
It will be a Bill C. rerun all over again… destroy the party for personal gain…. it is disgusting how they let the party wither… and Hilliary is still trying to weaken the party apparatus by creating her own shadow DNC with its own database… which she will only share for a fee…

The problem with that is that the Times/Sun are owned by Murdoch , The Mail is not liberal (anti ethnic/gay/feminist) and the telegraph hates anyone who isn’t white and upper class. The Independent and Guardian are the only left leaning papers and even they get trolled.
The moaning about the licence fee is mainly an anti tax libertarian thing, not reality based or even fact checked. I’ve done a lot of casual pointing out of the sky connection whenever people moan around me and you can see little lightbulbs go off as people realise the agenda.
The licence fee pays for bbc 1,2,3,4, news24 & parliament, cbeebies & CBBC (kids programmes) and radios 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, the world service and the website. oh and all the regional radio stations. It works out at 135 ukp pa or 36p a day. And no ads in the middle of programmes.
Sky cable/satellite is about 25 ukp per month, for the smallest package, sports channels cost extra. And SKY 1-4 have ad breaks every 10 minutes.
I have never figured Elaine Kamarck out.. I think at the end of the day, any day any year, she is DLC. She kept darting in and out of her office 2003 endorsing Dean, then nearly not.
Last I saw of her she was on a stage with Carville and Begala at harvard. All three made fools of themselves. Declared themselves anything but liberal and, had one peeled off their jeans (it was a forum iwth students, LOL), we would have seen “DLC” tattoo’d on their aging haunches. Which they admit to, most years. Probably not this year tho.
She’s a weird one. As is what passes for a party.
Here is a “Misinformation Troll” on MyDD:
Whereas in Elaine C. Kamarck report clearly states:
It is in the report… I have seen this same poster use this same lie repeatedly… I am just glad I now know where to find the truth.
It is these little towns and hamlets like West Hollywood that voted for Impeachment that are going to kick Hilliary’s butt along with Pelosi’s… Dk and all of the other blogs are completely out of touch with reality and what is happening on the ground… too busy whining about Bill O as though he mattered.
This is not about Dean … it is about what he has wrought and these Dem activists on the ground maybe our last chance… the Boyz are more than useless.
Oh I have to agree with you there… even this article goes way overboard in praise of DLC idiots like Webb and Tester and the lie that won’t die that Kos is a progressive.
The part that I am gleaning out of it … is that there must be rumblings in the states that see Hilliary and here gang as a detriment to the Democratic Party… which they are.
Oh! I just heard that the HOuse passed the resolution agaisnt developing permanant bases, TODAY. So exciting.
Pelosi wore cream and what looked like a necklace of faceted quartz. I would say from the semi-precious counter at Niemans.
We needed to know all of that, I am sure.
Since the outfit actually occurred in the three dimensional world, and is not a figment, like the resolution.
They are nervous…. they had better start doing shit or have their asses handed to them.
Here’s the rest re hideous plans for Washington Square Park, in the heart of Greenwich Village, from Jonathan Greenberg. He is GOOD.
(Wish I could read everything here… at a glance, looks like rich pickins… but must fly… later!)
The website “PreserveWSP” has been updated, too, with action events.

From Greenberg:
for the cat freaks — http://www.wral.com/news/strange/story/1634582/
ooo thanks for Oscar the cat.. the pics of him are great.
What I h ave read is that the enzymes change in the body with onset of illness or major change, os the presonal scent changes…. Oscar seems tuned in.
Awful about the plans to obliterate WSQ. >: I first misread the info from last week as a plan to get rid of UNION Sq. Pk., which is right near the apartment I lived in back in ’84-’85.
I love to gripe about PDX, but we do love our parks, or memories of same. What the hell is wrong with these damn developers and their “elected” handmaidens ? >: Crap.
The Flemish Bush
This is so sweet of him. Lux on Hillary. LOL:
How things would affect Rupert. Ok I buy that one.
Thanks I got the massage. 8)
The whole thing is a hoot, read a certain way.
Rev – who said that?
Delaweird Dumbfuck
I wouldn’t waste good pie on those idjits. Who would, for pity’s sake ?
It may be binging on all those MASH videos, but I totally picture/hear DD/LV as Frank Burns. I just can’t help it.
I do hope that MJS of Stop Me and his army of moles will be attending again. The Paine Clan would need an entire floor of the hotel to itself.
82–I remember reading something within the last year or so about dogs being able to diagnose bladder cancer.
I would worry a bit if the health care industry utlized such phenomena. You’d have a triage cat in the ER. And instead of seeing a doctor you would walk through a kennel.
87–he’s going to be awfully disappointed when all that happens at Ohare is an overhead annoucement;” Mr. Vagina, please pick up the white courtesy phone!”
Revisionist, #10 – That Kathy Griffin bit is priceless. Thanks for that.

Why not obliterate Washington Square Park?
I mean, What do you say to people who have been slowly brainwashed into accepting the notion that progressive political action can be a private business? Think about that.
We have nothing less than post- Soviet gangsterism going on surrounding the sale of public assets: a naked transfer of public wealth assigned to a politically connected few. Shorn of risk, these ventures are easily financed: Land, Highways, Airwaves, Operating Licenses for everything from prisons to schools to gambling halls. Its de rigeur in GOP and Dem strongholds alike.
The incrementally audacious has been swallowed bit by bit by the gullible for so long that they no longer have their bearings. It’s funny, since Overton’s work was recieved with such enthusiasm some time back on DK like they just heard of Newton…We need this kind of “crashing the gates” ?@!?? I’ve seen enough of their dishonesty and croneyism on DK. It’s the kind of thing that corrupts everything from planning boards in local governments, to state legislatures, to the disaster of tacit complicity we have in Washington. The only use I see of this is the acceleration of collapse.
#55, SB: well, thank you for the very kind words
I’m proud of my contributions at DKos, particularly telling the fuckers off in my last Supervixens diary.
I’m fortunate enough to be living a very nice, comfortable, happy life. But of course, as Armando says, it doesn’t exist – I have no husband and no life!! Those losers can’t stand to think that I’m so much better off than they are
Elise, for example, can’t hold down a job or keep a boyfriend, and is living with her sister. LOL! With a personality like that, no wonder.
Quoth the DD:
Good Goddess. He needs to get over himself. Such a thought never crossed my mind. I couldn’t be bothered to busy myself with such a project. However if other people do it, I promise to enjoy it ;-D
The whole “executive suite” of twits at DKos deserve a hearty entartement.
god, why would I want to go anywhere near those losers? Get over yourself, you fucking ambulance chaser.
oh and #90 ms xeno
” I wouldn’t waste good pie on those idjits.
Who would, for pity’s sake ?”
Could be any of a number of people….[whistling]
[liking pie filling]
Oh and the old “someone emailed me”….
Jason -yahright you’re one of our most loyal readers along with taylormattd.
A word of advise for any prospective pie recipient…it’s
Not worth a pie.
And I don’t go to hot muggy places in August, anyway.
We could start PIETHISGUY.com. Post his pic and offer prize money to whoever is first to get a utube up.
I wonder if they are having any “blogger anonymity” panels, where they recount their traumatic outings…while outing themselves yet again.
The obvious alternative is to not use a good pie.
Not a problem.
Would some blogger at least do a pity posting about LaMagna (D) for President. I mean the man is spending some ad dollars. Its the least yall could do.
“omg omg omg!!! (1+ / 0-)

Lucid, someone made a joke here …. re Luscious’ announcement of his arrival ‘on the ground’ in Chicago for Yrlykos – it was so dramatic, it literally screamed for a joke …. and we, pranksters that we are, are always ready to oblige. He, addicted as he is to the collective charms of the wittiest blog on the internets, responds. Against his pledge to go ‘cold turkey’! Lol! Resistance is Futile!
Speaking of screaming, this has to win the irony award of the week, and the prize goes to Luscious Vagina once again. Need I say why?
Taking a peek at how the brainthrust of DK spend their time …. The Ghost of Frank Zappa demolished them, time and time again … despite being both grossly outnumbered ( by the usual mob) and handicapped being he is fighting them on their territory, unarmed!
ET paid him a great compliment, btw, compared him to hrh, which he enthusiastically embraced as would any intelligent man ….. I think this thread will make him a blogospheric hero.
Lol, looks like he was having a ball, no way were they going to intimidate him. Like so many others, he’s obviously had it with them and invited them to ban him, being that it’s a badge of honor these days, why just leave without having some fun?
But how thin-skinned can you be.(and they call others thin-skinned) He’s right, the woman is forever drawing attention to her body parts, and she doesnt’ miss the opportunity here again, either, he responded to her invitation, honestly, and sends them into a frenzy.
If only they could conjur up the same energy to get Nancy off her ass, but the diary they are in is what upset them. It dared to call Nancy a ‘pussy’! But didn’t they approve of the word ‘cunt’? Is it not, according DK feminist lore, ‘a beautiful word’? So why then should ‘pussy’ not also be embraced as a ‘beautiful word’? Could it be the target that determines their judgement? No, never …. rotfl!. Humorless trolls …. but the thread is hysterical … if you have nothing better to do, have fun! And applause for the Ghost of Frank Zappa, he zapped them good …

Yahoooooooooo.
Goose those dead Democrats.
Sure sounds like Bloomberg will enter. And wilfred said evening local NYC news hinted…
http://www.mikebloomberg.com/
Damn REV! # 98 & # 101 you have me rolling
I saw that La Magna ad the caption might have been something like
“Look, I’m bummin’, so I ‘m runnin’ for Prez.”
Works for me. Markos will do one of two things.
While taking the ad money,
They’ll give him a plug and sell it as “inclusiveness” LOL
or
While taking the ad money,
and having no interest in truly opening up debate,
they’ll say nothing and argue it is “editorial integrity” if asked.
Either way, Markos still gets the fucking money.
Paul Reubens Day 2007, Celebrate Pee-wee Herman
Comic sums Pelosi up nicely.
SV, well if Armando declared your family doesn’t exist, who are you to argue? Lol …
but they got a virtual pie in the face from my new hero (no, don’t worry, it’s not a blog-crush and I’m not going to start talking about body parts, well, not on the internets anyhow). They thought they would insult Ghost of Frank Zappa (the man knows how to grab their feeble weapons and lob them right back) by using hrh – lol! He grabbed it and hit them right in their virtual, snide faces … this is how to deal with them …. all their tired old smears. He knew them well ….
That Clonecone, such a tough guy …. lol!
Frank Zappa’s ghost didn’t give them the right answer, he was supposed to say ‘Oh no, not that’! Because in their tiny world, what they believe is what everyone must believe. The reality is that hrh is admired over there by a majority of people, far more so than that little band of thugs.
How many grown men spend their time rummaging through the hidden comments of a blog looking for action? Pretty pathetic …
Et tu Eternal Hope?
“I suggest you go over to Marisacat’s blog, whereever it is”,
Yep EH barely knows “Marisacat’s blog” in a perfectly spelled and Enunciated kind of way…too funny such phoneys.
but the Misfit Toys were the REAL heroes of Rudolph!
I’d rather be a spotted elephant than a donklephant fanboy/girl eager to elect former Republicans.
I’m FLATTERED that they think we’re misfit toys. Coming from kookie-kutter drones, that’s a compliment.
I am very touched reading the accounts/pics of the celebrations of Iraqis (unfortunately attended by a couple car-bombings) over their win in the Asian soccer semi-finals. Just the thought of Iraqis having some simple collective joy where they take to their still- dangerous streets. The team itself includes Sunnis, Shias and Kurds, and there are accounts that people risked contacting their old soccer buddies of different sects to watch the game together.
I hope they kick Saudi Arabia’s ass in the finals on sunday.
oh no……just saw a story up at raw story “Bloggers pray for O’Reilly”…it links to Street Profits..and the inimitable pastordamning.
Gee, O’reilly gets prayers and Marisacat got curses.
and by participant pastor dan means “I am on the payroll”
you mean the “prayroll” ….like a blogroll, only selecting the important people to pray for.
lol…thanks for all of the laughs guys.
SB, I’ve thought about doing some freelance writing but half the time I’m too tire to even get a few blog posts done in a day right now. But thanks for the compliment.
cough…ahem…cough
Mr Vagina may want to invest in some Viperette™ gum to help break him of his addiction to this place. And his friends (who are supposedly e-mailing him about what’s said here) really should seek out Co-dependent Vaginaites Anonymous meetings. I hear there’s one scheduled during Ykos.
I’m sorry, BHHM. It’s just that one of these days, I might want to visit some of my old NYC haunts and not find every last one of them replaced by Potted Bucks and Starry Barn. You know how it is… :/
“Since this internet thing is anonymous, I’m tempted to share a sob story as to why I’m unable to attend. And I do have one. But the real reason is I can’t support the politics of this site any longer, it’s become a little too top-down for my tastes. And I’m sure that’s effective and all, but it’s not for me. So for those of you that are interested I’m willing to auction off my registration to the highest bidder.
Bidding starts at $100 , whatta bargain. “
Miss D – Damn I shoulda thought of that when I left – a 30K UID with TU status to the highest bidder. Maybe I coulda gotten lunch money!
#118. Who wrote that comment. Miss D?
Btw, I think some of them are just a tad clueless about how this whole internets thing works. They do realize, don’t they, that when they post “hey come have a beer with me at such and such a place at 5pm” that other people on the tubes can read that, right? I mean like “other” other people?
I can’t sell mine, lucid. Nightprowlerperson has informed me that I am no longer a member in good standing (according to her decree). (hahahaha)
catnip-it’s someone who wrote a diary to sell his yk2 ticket. (“bubbles”)
Who the hell is LaMagna?
are you a pre-troll, catnip?
123-everyone is too afraid to click and find out.
well, I gotta go to bed….after I say my prayers for Luscious Vagina, of course.
what laughable simpleton horseshit. what a ridiculous promotional STUNT.
#122, Oh thanks Miss D.
I’ll check that out.
123-everyone is too afraid to click and find out.
lol
A pre-troll? Or a troll-in-waiting? Or perhaps I’m a fetus troll? I could go on. But I won’t.
I am not a troll! I’m an herbal being!!
Okay, I’m sorry. But this ykos second life shit is just too much.
This could be their theme song.
You guys are too funny …. Catnip, love the anti-addiction products. Think he’ll bite? We could give him a discount …
Gee, O’reilly gets prayers and Marisacat got curses. Miss Devore
True, I remember that ….. he led his ‘congregation’ in an orgy of hatred towards a political adversary. Airc, one of them was practically orgasmic over the thought of clawing and scratching Marisacat …. someone should send that diary from DK’s Christian icon to O’Reilly. I would, but I really don’t want to help continue the phony fight. A lot of people are laughing at the whole thing.
They love those righties … I noticed too that in the FEC debacle, Kos had NO supporters on the left. His supporters were all rightwing blogs.
I read a post at MLW which said that Act Blue had collected over $25, 000, 000 and that no one knows whether or not Kos has received a % of that. I imagine that would be looked into …. 5% of that wouldn’t be bad at all. Over a million …who knows, but one thing is certain, they literally go ballistic anytime anyone dares to ask any questions at all about where their money comes from.
As Bhhm said above, it isn’t protecting free speech (rotflmao) they are worried about, it’s the possible revelations about how they are funded and where all the money came from. If they nothing to hide, why not answer the questions?
Bayprairie – I couldn’t agree more with your last sentence – it is mind-numbing stupidity, reminds me of some those early televangelist infomercials during the ‘nineties …
NYCee, thanks for the updates on Washington Sq Park. I hope you all get enough support to stop it …
Mitm, those misfit toys are adorable …. how did Clonecone know? Have we been outed?
Miss Devore is on a roll tonight …
87–he’s going to be awfully disappointed when all that happens at Ohare is an overhead annoucement;” Mr. Vagina, please pick up the white courtesy phone!”
Rotfl!
John Pilger on the media: How Truth Slips Down the Memory Hole. Worth reading.
Btw, Marisacat, I think Bloomberg will run …. all polls indicate that the public is ready for a third party. An Independent like Bloomberg has a appeal to both left and right …. it’s hard to say who would be the most affected …. but it would make this whole boring enterprise a lot more interesting … I hope he does.
Thanks, Catnip …. will read it … btw, you don’t have to write new material, you could use what you’ve already written on torture, on the prisons here with a few updates, then send it out to hundreds of local papers around the country ….. just a thought …
Catnip, love the anti-addiction products. Think he’ll bite? We could give him a discount …
Well we already know that he bites. Oh…you mean that other way. No discounts. In fact, I think we should make a large capitalist-type profit. Make him put his money where his big mouth is.
I’ll give that some thought, SB, but first I should get some sleep.
