BushCo, You're Fired!

Most of the BushCo shows are in danger of November 7th cancellation, due to their poor approval ratings: Arrest The Press; Dead Cat Bounce; McCainiac!; Diebolded, Most Republican Style; Bush & The Bald; Phony Tales; Memoirs Of A Snowflake Survivor, Hetero Marriage; and The New Adventures of the Old KKK.

The New Adventures Of The Old KKK

The initials have changed, and the target is now South Of The Borderites, but the well funded and organized CCC (Council of Concerned Citizens) is now being cited as a reputable source. Liberal Oasis has caught CNN's Lou Dobbs touting the CCC's questionable resurrection of a thoroughly debunked claim that "militant Latinos" want some of our states returned to Mexico.


Liberal Oasis also points out the Trent Lott/CCC connection tentacles and posts a link to the Anti-Defamation League's report on the CCC.

While we're all dancing the immigration tarantella these days, isn't it pitiful that in 2006 there's still a need for sites like Abolish The N Word? America's love/hate relationship with its slaves and former slaves continues to thrive, despite centuries of debate. And the debate is currently raging among... er, Republicans. Matthew Yglesias, guest blogging at Talking Points Memo, describes the exchange and quotes Rep. Jim Senselessbrenner:


As always, Republicans eating each other is fun to watch, but they've turned this wedge issue into one of immediate concern. And Republicans want a final solution to the immigration problem immediately? Fat chance.

Survivor, Hetero Marriage

Thou shalt not commit adultery. Oops! Wrong biblical edict. Have you noticed lately how often Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are cited to justify banning gay marriages/unions? If you believe that the God of Abraham dictated every single word of the Bible - or if you think conservatives might be grasping at Old Testament straws to deny Americans their civil rights, you might want to take a look at Perushim's MySpace blog:


Meanwhile, Briavel urges us to support the Human Rights Campaign's fight against the Federal Marriage Act via constitutional amendment:


The video is an excellent compilation of those Republican man/duck, man-on-dog quotes, captured and showcased for posterity in one neat little package.

In the BushCo land of unintended consequence, the gay marriage ban's dirty little loophole has already reared its ugly head in Ohio. abyss2hope writes:


The "recent case" cited concerns the shooting of a woman (by her boyfriend/father of her child) in St. Paul last weekend.

Arrest The Press

Andre M. Hernandez, posting at Democrats & Liberals, asks:


Short answer: Nope. Maybe that's why the 29 percenters are panicked. They know in their hearts they're wrong, but they don't want to be held accountable.

Stupid Bush Audience Question Of The Day

Was Bush joking, or does he finally understand that his Potemkin audiences' questions are specious? Watch George W. guffaw when an audience plant declares that Bush is doing a great job. Run But Can't Hide has the video link.

McCainiac!

Who really "attacked" Two-Faced Johnny McCain last weekend at The New School's graduation? Many will point their Pod People fingers at Jean Rohe, who verbally whacked the presidential campaigner-cum-commencement speaker. The Huffington Post has the full text of Rohe's speech, her blog post following her McCainiacal encounter, as well as the extra-added attraction of McCain staffer Mark Salter's defense of MCain. But who gave McCain just enough rope to hang himself? Senator Bob Kerrey with-an-EY, that's who. And what did McCain do with all of that rope?

I'm a new fan of Blony, who writes:


Of course, it looks like Bob Kerrey took the high road. But who's chowing down on the canary now? McCain or Kerrey with-an-EY?

Dead Cat Bounce


Note the question mark in CNN's headline, A Bounce For Bush? and tell me that BushCo isn't sweating Dick Cheney rabbit shot like it's going out of style. You know what's most hilarious about this Rasmussen poll CNN is hyping six ways to Sunday? It only concerns one issue: immigration. Think Progress has the story and some seriously hilarious comments on Wolf Blitzer's breathless attempt to prop up his prez:


Apparently, a few people polled (who surely praised Saint Reagan for singlehandedly fitting the battle of... the Berlin Wall) approve of building one here. Heavy sigh.

Diebolded, Republican Style

Looking forward to primary election season, me b zola wonders what Repubs, freepers and miscellaneous lurkers will do when their votes against corrupt Republican incumbents get Diebolded (stolen) this year.


Hmm. Republicans cheating each other at the polls. Definitely something to snicker about.

Bush & The Bald

We've all wondered for years about Bush's bald guy fetish. Gahzette gives us the whole story in photos, including the "hands on" weirdness ones.


Speaking of weirdness, did you catch Gordon the Drug Sniffing Dog lunging for Bush's crotch during his Arizona border photo-op? It's on my blog, Delilah Boyd, with an important update on President Cocaine Crotch:


I have it on the best authority (the director of field operations for a prominent national youth organization foundation) that male cocaine users who don't wash their hands before urinating draw drug dogs to their privates like bees to flowers, and that Gordon the Drug Dog wouldn't lunge unless the situation called for action. Good dog, Gordon.

Phony Tales

How's a citizen supposed to go about contacting a reporter, now that we know that most of the phone companies have been handing our phone numbers, the numbers we've called, and the duration of said calls to the Bush administration? Jon Stewart has the background story, and Crooks And Liars has the video. Meanwhile, Doc Strangelove's analysis of the phone companies' five-days-later denial (at Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying) is chock full of facts and plausible legal presumptions:


Memoirs Of A Snowflake

Austin Chase has some sage advice for Bush Boy Toy Tony Snow:


Sage advice, indeed, Austin. Somehow, I doubt that the former FOX boy toy would ever listen to... wait a minute! Did I say former? News Hounds reports (with transcript and video link) that Tony Snow referred to ABC News as "a competing network." Who the hell pays this guy's salary, anyway?

Survivor, Hetero Marriage


Why is it that hetero marriages are only in dire danger of extinction during election years? Duh is the appropriate answer. CNN's Jack Cafferty, however has the brass ones to call the rightwing lunatic fringe... er, the lunatic fringe. Crooks And Liars has the transcript and the video.

We're all looking forward to Republican shows being canceled on Nov. 7th. That being said, I for one don't want these shows to disappear down the memory hole. I want new shows about Republicans, like: Where In The World Does Santorum Live Now? (written and produced by Ferrick's PoliBlog); Media Feet On Fire (an Azerbic production); Billie Frist, Safari Surgeon (a Tennessee Guerrilla Women project); and Freedom Of Sticking It To The Press (produced, directed, written and hosted by JC Christian).

Here's hoping for new and better shows this Nov. 7th! At the top of my wish list: Republican Frog March Parade and BushCo, You're Fired!

Why didn't I see the 'Lil Boots Cocaine Crotch Photo on AP? Stupid Librul Media.:toast:

Well now. That little tidbit about the cocaine sniffing dog really caught my attention. * caught coke-handed. This certainly needs more media attention.

:rofl: :rofl:

PRICELESS!!!! Thank You!!!!

:kick: and Recommended!

Then, I thought about drug sniffing dogs and wondered
why it would lunge.

I started asking around, and I got the same answer:
Cocaine Crotch is a real, honest-to-goodness term
used by drug dog handlers.

Thanks for the feedback!

why or how that graphic ended up on CNN, but one thing I can tell you for sure, it is an ABSOLUTELY truth that there is an element mixed in with the pro-illegal migrant movement that wants some of our states returned to Mexico. They believe that a good portion of the southwest belongs to Mexico and they would like nothing better that to be able to have it back.

in their masterful manipulation of public opinion. Which is tantamount to lying.

their land was taken unfairly. It was a very small poll (801 respondents), but it's food for thought just the same:

http://www.zogby.com/search/ReadClips.dbm?ID=4414

Asked if they believed the U.S. Southwest rightfully belonged to Mexico, 58 percent of respondents in Mexico said it did, while 28 percent disagreed. A similar number -- 57 percent -- stated agreement with the position that Mexicans have the right to enter the United States without U.S. permission. A total of 35 percent disagreed

"Those who hire large numbers of illegal aliens are the 21st-century slave masters. And in my opinion, that's just as immoral as the 19th-century slave masters we had to fight a civil war to get rid of."

If Sensenbrenner said this, he's right on the money for once.

Illegal Immigration Suppresses Wages

The guy in the audiences starts with "what a good job" bushie boy is doing and bushie says "That makes your question less creditable" (!?!) He is admitting that he knows he's doing a crappy job. Given the screened nature of the audience, I don't think this one is a rovian ploy..

Lou Dobbs is an idiot.

is effectively the successor of the old White Citizens Councils -- successor in the sense that the "new" organization used the old mailing lists to form the new. Mark Potok of the SPLC (and my old neighbor in Monkeygomery -- a big hello to the Potok's standard poodle Willie, my dog Phil's old "best friend").
They are pretty much a fringe group, and besides Lott, they have got support recently (or at least speaking engagements) by George Wallace, Jr. who is one of the Rep. candidates for Lt. Gov. of Alabama and Roy Moore. They are about as mossback as one can get without hoisting swastikas.

Here is a small portion of their agenda:

http://www.cofcc.org/manifest.htm

We believe the United States is a European country and that Americans are part of the European people.



We believe that the United States derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and the European people and that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character.



We therefore oppose the massive immigration of non-European and non-Western peoples into the United States that threatens to transform our nation into a non-European majority in our lifetime.



We believe that illegal immigration must be stopped, if necessary by military force and placing troops on our national borders; that illegal aliens must be returned to their own countries; and that legal immigration must be severely restricted or halted through appropriate changes in our laws and policies.



We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called "affirmative action" and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.

That's a great dog pic.
Thanks for the mention in Blog Box.
I appreciate it.

Your doggie inspired another at West Point. ;)
