February 24th, 2007 at 1:14 amMy favorite quote about McCain:
February 24th, 2007 at 1:21 am“John McCain isn’t a flip-flopper, he’s a metronome.”
I heard, even before McCains 6 year rightward tilt that those in Arizona knew him to be a triangulating, do nothing (except for bringing home the pork) schmuck.
February 24th, 2007 at 1:23 amHey what about this:
Former ACLU Chapter President Arrested for Child Pornography
Complaint Alleges Virginia Man Accessed, Downloaded Graphic Child Pornography
By JACK DATE
Feb. 23, 2007— – Federal agents arrested Charles Rust-Tierney, the former president of the Virginia chapter of the ACLU, Friday in Arlington for allegedly possessing child pornography.
According to a criminal complaint obtained by ABC News, Rust-Tierney allegedly used his e-mail address and credit card to subscribe to and access a child pornography website.
The complaint states that federal investigations into child pornography websites revealed that “Charles Rust-Tierney has subscribed to multiple child pornography website over a period of years.”
As recently as last October, the complaint alleges, “Rust-Tierney purchased access to a group of hardcore commercial child pornography websites.”
Complaint Alleges Access to Graphic Material
Rust-Tierney admitted to investigators that he had downloaded videos and images from child pornography websites onto CD-ROMs, according to the complaint.
The videos described in the complaint depict graphic forcible intercourse with prepubescent females. One if the girls is described in court documents as being “seen and heard crying”, another is described as being “bound by rope.”
The investigation is being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and the Arlington County Police as part of the Northern Virginia and District of Columbia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Rust-Tierney made an initial appearance in a federal court in Alexandria, VA, Friday. He is being detained pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday, February 28.
Youth Coach, Argued Against Restricting Public Internet
Rust Tierney coaches various youth sports teams in and around Arlington, Virginia, according to court documents.
In the past, Rust-Tierney had argued against restricting Internet access in public libraries in Virginia, writing, “Recognizing that individuals will continue to behave responsibly and appropriately while in the library, the default should be maximum, unrestricted access to the valuable resources of the Internet.”
Calls to Rust-Tierney’s home were not answered and calls to the ACLU of Virginia were not immediately returned.

February 24th, 2007 at 1:32 amWhat’s wrong with sucking up to everybody?
That’s an excellent question, Mr. McCain. Perhaps what’s wrong with it is an utter absence of principles.

February 24th, 2007 at 1:57 amMemo to McCain: Nobody likes you so give it up. Go back to Arizona!
February 24th, 2007 at 2:23 amSo McCain is a male Monica. Now that is another dog bites man story.
This comment is McCain’s Macaca moment. It will hurt his campaign in ways we don’t even know about yet.

I am glad they caught the guy, why didn’t they do it a year sooner with all this marvelous expensive technology?
February 24th, 2007 at 2:27 am#6 – That sure is terrible news. And we here at TP want him brought to justice if proven guilty.
Now… can you really say the same for all your psycho religious leaders who do the same? On a much more constant basis?
February 24th, 2007 at 2:39 amCome on Jay.. we have 120 degrees in the summertime.. We’re already in Hell, and you’re wishing a fulltime Satan in residence on us too?? Somebody else take McCain, pleaseeeeeeeeeee..
February 24th, 2007 at 3:50 amwhat’s wrong with sucking up mccain. you should know that
very well.
it’s called being a political leech and totally corrupted
February 24th, 2007 at 4:42 amthe man has NO principles.
February 24th, 2007 at 5:12 amI Find MuckCain A moron with no compassion, He would be great leader for the republican party in 08
February 24th, 2007 at 5:42 amThe problem with ’sucking up to everybody’ is that a person who takes such path lives in hypocrisy,
a person who sold his soul,
a person who cannot and should not be a leader.
a person without principles.
Becuase that person can make statements all day to please his audience whether he believes in them or not.
Because such person cannot be for wars and against war in the same time,
cannot be for environment one day and against protecting the environment the second day;
cannot be supporting extreme right one day,and pandering to the extreme left next morning;
Cannot be supporting Rumsfeld one day and calling him the worst Secretary of Defence in another day…
‘Sucking up to everybody’ is a sign of cheap and dirty salesmanship.

February 24th, 2007 at 9:11 amWhat’s wrong with going to war under false pretenses.
What’s wrong with sending more and more troops to die for Dick Cheney’s fantasy of world domination?
What’s wrong with condoning torture?
What’s wrong with advocating the teaching of the bogus theory of intelligent design in schools?
What’s wrong with eliminating a woman’s right to control her own body?
February 24th, 2007 at 9:27 amwow he’s crazy
February 24th, 2007 at 9:41 amhow do you suck up to all the people who don’t like suck ups?
McCain has clearly either forgotten or never read his Aesop — because Aesop addressed this very question in his little fable “The Man, The Boy, And The Donkey”…the moral of this fable being:
TRY TO PLEASE EVERYONE, AND YOU WILL PLEASE NO ONE.
Actually, now that I think about it, he also addressed the same point in two other fables — the first being the “The Bat, The Bird, And The Beasts”, the moral being:
HE WHO IS NOT ONE THING OR THE OTHER HAS NO FRIENDS.
…and the other being “The Satyr And The Man”, the moral of that one being:
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE WHO BLOWS HOT AND COLD WITH THE SAME BREATH
Written over two thousand years ago, and just as true today as they were then!
February 24th, 2007 at 9:46 amOy, McCain. Not good. Bye.
February 24th, 2007 at 10:47 am“What’s wrong with sucking up to everybody?“
February 24th, 2007 at 11:13 amI dunno, but what’swrong with getting a backbone and sticking to your beliefs, no matter how much peer pressure is involved?
Just askin’!

Excellent question, DRxJ, I’d love to hear McCain’s answer.
McCain wants to be president so badly he forgot who he is, and that’s his death knell. The Republicans are happy because they know what McCain is — they’ve got him by the short & curlies, and they’re making him dance. It’s a sad sight.
February 24th, 2007 at 11:32 am“What’s wrong with sucking up to everybody?“
It means you SUCK!
February 24th, 2007 at 12:44 pmWell, you pasty-faced, flip-flopping schizoid nutcase, I always knew you were a scum-sucking BOTTOM feeder(and I don’t mean the catfish and loaches in the aquarium tank, either)! McPAIN’s lips are permanently bonded to the anal orifices of CHIMPya, Torticola Cheney, Bushland Uber Allies, rightwingnut religious-right cranks, in short, ANYONE who will help him become or WHO HE DELUDEDLY BELIEVES will help him become president in 2008! With McPAIN the “suck-up” WHO NEEDS AN ENEMA or a ROTO-ROOTER? HAH! UGH! McPAIN has SOLD HIS SOUL to The Devil, El Diablo, who has conveniently transformed McPAIN into an IN-human SUMP-PUMP!!!!!
February 24th, 2007 at 1:47 pmI see that that pasty-faced, flip-flopping schizoid nutcase McPAIN has his vacuum lips in power pick-up mode. McPAIN has always been a crud-sucking BOTTOM-feeder(and I’m not talking about catfish and loaches in an aquarium either)who has his lips firmly clamped on the anal orifices of CHIMPya, Torticola Cheney, rightwingnut religious-right repugnant-repubs and anyone else who McPAIN DELUDEDLY believes can help him be elected president in 2008! McPAIN has made a deal with The Devil, El Diablo, who has conveniently transformed McPAIN into an IN-human SUMP PUMP!!!!!
