1. Hi Patsy! Now, that would have been great!

Can a law be passed to make it illegal for an elected official to LIE?

2. I'm sure there's one or two out there

Enforcement, not so much. :hi:

This is probably what the other teabagger protests would have looked like without all the corporate cash.

96. There was a Kids in the Hall sketch

called Premise Beach. It was set in a 50s surfer film, complete with surf guitar music and green screen surfing by the Kids. Every couple of seconds, one would scream out, "Premise! Beach! "What if...?!" And then, a la Laugh In, the music would stop, the camera would zoom in, and one of them would throw out a ridiculous plot line.

That's sort of what GD and GDP has become these days.

Geez, if they were transferred to a bus, why in the HELL couldn't the bus stop for a few so people could get an actual meal?

Sometimes I think the airlines are actually prisons, and the flight attendants are the guards. x(

in GD Pee (Pats, you were right, of course) today. After the first couple of nice comments it fell apart. It could use some love if you guys would go over there and read it and maybe make a nice comment if you agree with her. You can also read it at her blog and comment at http://www.nancyskinnerlive.com.

100. They've done it before, too.

Their MO is to kick people who are already down. Remember what they pulled with Graeme Frost during the attempt to expand SCHIP? See Paul Krugman's column, from 2007, at the link below.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/12/opinion/12krugman.html

Two weeks ago, the Democratic response to President Bush�s weekly radio address was delivered by a 12-year-old, Graeme Frost. Graeme, who along with his sister received severe brain injuries in a 2004 car crash and continues to need physical therapy, is a beneficiary of the State Children�s Health Insurance Program. Mr. Bush has vetoed a bipartisan bill that would have expanded that program to cover millions of children who would otherwise have been uninsured.

(SNIP)

First, some background. The Frosts and their four children are exactly the kind of people S-chip was intended to help: working Americans who can�t afford private health insurance.

(SNIP)

Graeme Frost, then, is exactly the kind of child the program is intended to help. But that didn�t stop the right from mounting an all-out smear campaign against him and his family.

Soon after the radio address, right-wing bloggers began insisting that the Frosts must be affluent because Graeme and his sister attend private schools (they�re on scholarship), because they have a house in a neighborhood where some houses are now expensive (the Frosts bought their house for $55,000 in 1990 when the neighborhood was rundown and considered dangerous) and because Mr. Frost owns a business (it was dissolved in 1999).

Krugman goes on to name some of those who participated in the smear: Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Malkin, the office of Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

This is what these bastards do.

55. Glen is not only nasty but an idiot too

The Soviet Union was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
China is the People's Republic of China
East German was the GDR (The German Democratic Republic)

Did he ever learn anything about anything?

59. Sometimes I forget that Beck, Hannity, and Rush are all College drop outs/

flunk outs. And yet they talk down Obama who was top of his class @ Harvard Law and
Professor of Constitutional Law @ the U. of Chicago.

62. He is the man who feeds Hannity hi talking points

That is why stations that run Hannity often run Levin.

BTW if he is so smart why did he support the Iraq war?

63. I know. I think they actually resent the fact that he's one of the

sharpest knives in the drawer, so they have to kick at him at every chance they get, which unfortunately is 24/7.

And Rich, good looking, a best selling author, has a hot wife, and great kids.

It must really stick in their craw.
