How low can you go. A shill for the Moonie Times!

You want to watch a daily train wreck waiting to happen? Catch Soledad and Miles in the morning.

will be chauferred in her government-owned black Chevy Tahoe sport-utility vehicle to the Rayburn House Office Building -– where she will be the lead witness on a global warming hearing held by Science and Technology Committee.

Thinking for myself JT (is that you Lord?) and not having to rely on a Newscorp rag to do my thinking for me, you note it’s a 2005 model. Hmmm, makes you wonder when it was purchased… let’s see… who was running congress then? So the vehicle is purchased; should she tell government purchasing to just chuck the vehicle? You’d then fake bitch about waste there! Also who chooses the vehicle: Secret Service, the Sergeant at Arms or Ms. Pelosi personally?

California’s strict fuel-economy and environmental standards.
Oh I see, Pelosi wrote California state law while just becoming the Speaker of the House after being minority leader in the past few years! Talk about incredible multitasking! Also I see you not note these mystery models banned by Cali… And I don’t mean the ones in your toybox with “matchbox” stamped on the bottom. You do know that STATE and FEDERAL are different, right?

Also on throwing out things with no details about gasoline taxes and votes(which seems to be the par for the course which starts these fake-outrage stories…) Again, do you think a “in the past six years” a Delay and Hastert House would have allowed the Dems to bring a imaginary tax increase bill to the floor, much less there be an opportunity for Pelosi to vote on one? Why do I think you can’t cite a single bill in which a vote on gasoline taxes even occured? Your “facts” smell as if they had been pulled from your bottom. Best go back to that imaginary madrassa you tried to get an education in. And reverse “class warfare” sounds idiotic.

JC: While I agree that career politicians get ingrained in the little DC game (Lieberman, Biden McCain) and a 3rd choice is needed badly, would you suggest the elected 3rd in the Line of Succession take Amtrak to cross the continent? Maybe in a hatchback? I guess the detail that she said she’d take commercial coach totally passed you up (but wonder how the Secret Service would love that?) Can you, JT and the Post invent the transcontinental matter transporter?

Come on guys, Anna Nicole Smith just died. Can’t you use that with fake stories of madrasses, campaign bloggers and airplanes to distract the masses from the VERY interesting Libby trial, the nasty increase in aircraft being taken down by the enemy, and that both Homeland Security and the Iraq Coalition Provisional Authority just pissed away billions of dollars.

This morning Speaker Pelosei will be chauferred in her government-owned black Chevy Tahoe sport-utility vehicle to the Rayburn House Office Building -– where she will be the lead witness on a global warming hearing held by Science and Technology Committee.

The Tahoe emits 11 tons of greenhouse gases per year, according to U.S. Department of Energy.

The agency ranks it as “one of the worst” vehicles on the road, according to http://www.fueleconomy.gov, a non-partisan government web site.

Many models of the Chevy Tahoe are unavailable in Rep. Pelosi’s home state because the vehicle fails to meet California’s strict fuel-economy and environmental standards.

The 2005 Chevy Tahoe 1500 4WD gets 15 miles per gallon in city driving.

Rep. Pelosi’s vehicle is also exempt from federal gasoline taxes.

Rep. Pelosi voted to raise the federal gasoline tax five times in the past six years.

Stand on your own two feet and quit following the party line!!

Politics 101 — All politicians are complete hypocrites and liars, especially all those pointing fingers at other politicians. A wise person once said you should take the log out of your own eye, before trying to take the spec out of someone else’s eye.

The bottom line is – what all the Dems\Leftist are really about, just like their twin brothers the Repubs, or what any politician is all about, is getting and controlling power…so then they can control all the rest of us. When we will stop being Repubs, or Dems, and begin to act like Americans first?

Pelosi and the Dems are just as big a hypocrite as any Fat cat Republican they love to hate…period…no matter what the spin is on the Left or Right. The problem is rooted in career politicians and the power they so desperately seek. The Dems silence any dissent, political debate that does not agree with their agenda…just as much as the person they are forever accusing the same of – their hated foe Bush.

The political scene in America reminds me of the fighting my five year somtimes gets into with all his other 5 year old friends at playtime…just a bunch of squabbling babies on both sides.

Time for a real 3rd Party to arise end this Chaos.

But it doesn’t seem that the Democrats, or even bloggers have the stomach for initiating this kind of action against the Republicans. Thats why the Democratic Veterans group discussed in the Wash. Post today is so effective. They call a coward a coward in front of the cameras, with no apologies. But they don’t have the continuous visibility of the MSM or even top line bloggers such as Atrios, Dkos, and TPM.

Full-contact politics can’t be relegated to high-profile, media saturated issues that already comprise our political discourse. Novelty sells. Thats why a feature story about “Pelosi Air” is so fascinating to Fox, not to mention Dobbs and ABC. Its not the stuff of everyday conversation, or at least it wasn’t. Now it is. The private life of the most glamorous/powerful Democrat exposed, the story already written by Karl Rove and his minions. What can she say? It ain’t true? What are bloggers going to say? It ain’t true? Like the LBJ said about the rival candidate he smeared with an highly illicit sexual innuendo…..of course its not true, but let the SOB deny it.

There are plenty symbolic strings in the Republican ranks to pull at, but the old corruption, bribes, etc. is old hat. The newspapers, and Democrats in Congress are already talking about it and there will be an ever-increasing tide of hearings. Lets look at the known personal vulnerabilities of the top rank Repbulicans–Dick and George. The VP’s staffing secrecy and lack of accountibility has been addressed by TPM but hardly picked up by the MSM. They say, so what? Where’s the fire, where’s the smoke? Well then, lets focus on the VP’s luxurious, hunting-lodge dwelling lifestyle.

Dick Cheney has an upcoming all-expenses-paid-trip to Japan and Australia, courtesy of Mr. and Mrs.American Taxpayer. For starters, why is Mr. Cheney spending Feb. 22-27 in Australia? What exactly does a sitting Vice President do in Australia for a whole week? Why not go someplace more appropriate, and in need of Vice Presidential inspection/evaluation, like Iraq or Afghanistan? I think there should be a concerted effort to get him to answer why its necessary to spend a full week of winter time in North America in sunny, summertime Australia (doing what? golf? hunting ‘roos? luxurious villa stays?) when events in Iraq are so dire. What kind of staff is he taking along, what kind of plane, and how much money is it costing? Let him go in the front of the cameras and rumble a justification for his “diplomacy” with our allies, the Australians. How many 10 day trips did Al Gore take to sunny destinations in winter time when he was Veep?

In my own simple-minded and short-sighted way, I see this:

Dobbs is wrong.

Some day, a very unlikley series of events might occur, Bush and Cheney will be out and Pelosi will become President. If that happens, I will rejoice.

Until then: Every day, the debate is about the plane. Every day, Pelosi is smeared. Every day, the debate is not about Pelosi’s agenda. Every day, the American public hears that Pelosi is worse than a Republican. Every day, the American public hears that Pelosi is not helping them.

Pelosi must change the debate. She must walk away from the plane.
