I thought you were leaving for good,

Now what gave you that impression? So sorry to disappoint…

and by the way, I do not need anyone’s permission to post my own articles.

Your own articles? Under two different names?

yes, they are reprinted from different blogs alright, but I AUTHORED them years ago.

First of all, my previous post made no mention of blogs. How is it you knew that, hmmmm?

Second, you ‘authored them years ago’? That’s quite a feat, considering the inconvenient fact that the second article references the 60 Minutes interview with President Bush that happened on January 14th of this year.

But I however, remain the sole author.

rachel, you have been exposed as a plagiarist, a liar, and a fraud. Thanks for playing, though.

So, in a nutshell TM, go fu*ck yourself. K?

Right back at ya.

Chickenhawks:
Politicans Platoon

Name: Gov. Meldrim “Mel” Thomson (R-Orford)
Born: March 8, 1929
Employer: His Daddy’s Publishing Co, Inc.
Conflict Avoided: Korea
Notes: Meldrim Thomson, New Hampshire’s quintessential Goofy Governor, once sought to arm the state’s National Guard with nuclear weapons. Some thought he wanted nukes to blast the Clamshell Alliance out of the way, so his pals at PSNH could build the Seabrook nuclear power plant. You might think that such a notoriously bellicose individual, twenty-one years old when the Reds crossed the line in Korea, might have managed to get into the fight – but you would be wrong.

Name: Rep. Joseph “Joe” Scarborough (R-FL)
Born: April 9, 1963
Employer: MSNBC
Conflict Avoided: Desert Storm
Notes: A former Republican congresman (1995-2002) turned MSNBC motormouth, Joe qualifies as a politician and a barking head. Where were you during Desert Storm, pal?

Name: Gov. Marc Racicot (R-MT)
Born: July 24, 1948
Employer: The Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Marc got a BA in 1970, and immediately took the grad school route. Once the war was safely over he went in the service as an Army lawyer. After his gig as governor was up, he got the top spot at the RNC, likely as a reward for helping W. grab Florida.

Name: Sen. J. Danforth “Dan” Quayle (R-IN)
Born: February 4, 1947
Employer: “investment firm in Phoenix” – Dan Quayle Museum
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: The Indiana National Guard was a nice safe place for young Dan during the Vietnam era. Good thing he was from “a good family” – too good to waste their boy in a war.

Name: Sen. Don Nickles (R-OK)
Born: December 6, 1948
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Another National Guard-type Republican. It must be noted that service in the Guard these days is vastly different from what it was in the Vietnam era. When Don went in in 1970, it was a safe slot. Thanks to guys like Don, that’s no longer true.

Name: Sen. Chester Trent Lott (R-MS)
Born: October 9, 1941
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: We’re not sure why Trent didn’t serve. Maybe he didn’t think he’d look good in Army green. He was a cheerleader in college instead. Wonder how he looked in a cheerleader’s uniform?

Name: I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby
Born: 1950±
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam

Notes: I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff. He’s had a string of no-doubt well-paying government jobs in State and Defense. He’s also practiced law. In fact, he was Marc Rich’s lawyer for years. Yes — the Marc Rich whose pardon from President Clinton was excoriated by so many high and mighty Republicans. Maybe if Scooter had been a better lawyer, his client wouldn’t have needed that pardon. Speaking of legal questions, “Scooter” is alleged by some to have traded energy stocks while helping his buddy Dick Cheney cook up a new energy policy in secret. He’s also suspected of having inserted the bogus “Niger yellowcake” reference into the President’s State of the Union address. As if all that weren’t enough, he’s also a top suspect in the outing of CIA operative Valeria Plame. Clearly “Scooter” is a ballsy kind of guy, so it’s a complete mystery to us why, when he graduated from Phillips Andover in 1968, he didn’t enlist in the Marines or go Airborne instead of going to Yale.

Name: Rep. Dennis Hastert (R-IL)
Born: January 2, 1942
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Dennis wasn’t able to serve in the Army in Vietnam because his knees weren’t up to it. He did OK as a wrestler in college, though.

Name: Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Born: February 14, 1947
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayeer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Another member of New Hampshire’s hereditary political aristocracy (see also: Charlie Bass and John Sununu) Judd’s daddy was Governor of New Hampshire from 1953 to 1955. Young Judd graduated from Columbia in ‘69 and apparently went straight to BU Law until the coast was clear. For good measure, he got written up for bad knees. They weren’t so bad he couldn’t spend half his term as Governor on the ski slopes.

Name: Rep. Newton Leroy “Newt” Gingrich (R-GA)
Born: June 17, 1943
Employer: Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: A virtuoso in the art of hypocrisy, the former Speaker of the House now claims the Vietnam War was a splendid idea, but at the time he opposed going himself. Newtie also speaks highly of morality, but as a serial adulterer he doesn’t want to get too close to it himself.

Name: Rep. Charles Gwynne Douglas, III (R-NH)
Born: Dec. 2, 1942
Employer: Was U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Not so notable for bellicosity, but he makes up for it with fervid Republican zeal. Graduated from UNH in 1965, when the draft was pretty strong, but went straight to BU Law. Got out of there in 1968, when it was even stronger. No problem – Ol’ Chuck was “admitted to the bar in 1968 and commenced practice in Manchester, N.H., 1970-1974,” according to an unimpeachable source. How’s he manage to avoid Vietnam? According to that same source, http://bioguide.congress.gov, the future Congressman (NH, 2nd District, 1989-1991) was a “[C]olonel, New Hampshire Army National Guard, 1968 to present.”

Name: Rep. Tom “The Exterminator” DeLay (R-TX)
Born: April 8, 1947
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: One of our most-nominated chickenhawks, Mr. DeLay has said he wanted to serve in Vietnam, but was unable to since all the positions had been taken by blacks and hispanics. We suspect there might be someone in Iraq today who would be willing to trade places with Mr. DeLay …

Name: Richard “Dick” Cheney (R-WY)
Born: 1942
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: Says he had “other priorities.” You bet he had other priorities. Imagine how early in life you must begin scheming to get away with what this guy has. He was too busy thinking about Halliburton to go fight Charlie.

Name: Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Born: 1943
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: There are chickenhawks, and then there are chickenhawks. Saxby Chambliss is a chickenhawk supreme. He got himself elected to the Senate by casting aspersions on the patriotism of the incumbent, Democrat Max Cleland. Cleland lost three limbs serving his country in Vietnam. Saxby Chambliss was unable to serve because of his bad knees, but somehow is able to totter along as a recreational runner.

Name: Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL)
Born: 1953
Employer: Florida Taxpayers
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: When Jeb was younger he managed to avoid fighting for democracy in Vietnam. When his older brother’s future job was on the line, though, he had no trouble fighting democracy.

Name: George W. Bush (R-TX)
Born: 1946
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: You know when a guy walks away from a National Guard obligation during wartime and gets away with it, he must come from “a good family.” Not that his daddy had anything to do with his getting a Guard slot in the first place – oh, no …

Name: Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO)
Born: January 10, 1950
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: The Congressman from Missouri and House Majority Whip who’s so concerned about defending America that offered an amendment to the law creating the Homeland Security department that would have made it tougher to sell cigarettes over the ‘Net. It wouldn’t have helped the whole country, but the part of it that belongs to Phillip Morris would have benefited. Born just about the right time for Vietnam, somehow Blunt was at Southwest Baptist University when he could have been keeping the ‘Cong out of Chillicothe, MO.

Name: Rep. Charlie Bass (R-NH)
Born: January 8, 1952
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: When your old man’s U.S. Representative Perkins Bass (2nd District, NH, 1955-1962), and your grandfather’s Governor Robert T. Bass (NH, 1911-1913), chances are slim you’ll ever get called “Private Bass,” even if you are born in 1952.

Name: Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD)
Born: June 3, 1926
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: WWII
Notes: Nominated as a chickenhawk by a constituent, Roscoe Bartlett brings to his job on the House Armed Services committee a mind that’s unbiased and unprejudiced — though he had turned 18 by D-Day, when there was still plenty of opportunity to become a bona fide member of the Greatest Generation©, Roscoe let the war go by without putting on a uniform. We don’t know why; perhaps you could ask him.

Name: Sen. George Allen (R-VA)
Born: 1952
Employer: The U.S. Taxpayer
Conflict Avoided: Vietnam
Notes: George Allen is in the Senate, and wants to be in the White House. Where he belongs is in the Chickenhawk Hall of Fame.
Allen graduated from Palos Verde High in 1970, according to Wikipedia. In those days he “was a supporter of Richard Nixon and the Vietnam War, although he did not serve in that conflict, taking a student deferment instead.”
During his 2006 re-election campaign Allen has “emphasized his dedication to military and veteran issues … during his term in the Senate,” according to the Hampton Roads Virginian-Pilot’s Warren Fiske. But the Disabled American Veterans only give him a rating of 50 — mediocre-at-best.
Allen also favors a flag-burning amendment. Wouldn’t you know it?
He probably wants to amend it to cover the Confederate flag as well as Old Glory. The mugshot is from the 2003 movie “Gods and Generals,” in which he played a Confederate officer.
Allen’s campaign ads are made by Scott Howell. Picking the right guy was apparently a no-brainer for Allen. Howell’s resume includes the Saxby Chambliss campaign against Max Cleland, and the infamous Swift Boat ads against John Kerry.

Can the crap, bob. You weren’t at the trial and you aren’t privy to the trial transcripts.

Neither were you . So I guess your opinion is about as valid as mine.

No reporters or other outside observers such as defense lawyers

I disagree with defense lawyers not being present.

Like I said, let’s end all the controversy by declairing them all POWs. No trials to deal with. Hold ‘em as long as we want.

Absolutely. I have confidence that many of those Republicans who vote in lock-step would be compelled to vote for impeachment — either because they have seen the light, or because they hope to be re-elected.

Bali bomb hearing at Guantanamo

No reporters or other outside observers such as defense lawyers would be allowed to attend the hearings to determine whether the men were enemy combatants, US officials said.

How’s that for you, hacker bob? Your beloved President says the world would be better off if every country adopts his Military Commissions Act. You want to see your Marine buddies hauled before a secret tribunal, without so much as a defense lawyer present? They will be, if Bush has his way. You could be too!

…No 60 vote margin in the senate…

…means IMPEACHMENT would be a sham…

…but wait…

…’til ‘08

Comment by big papa — March 7, 2007 @ 3:27 pm

I disagree. Impeachment would shine a HUGE FLOODLIGHT on the Bush Administration, and those in the Senate who vote in lockstep to keep a Dictator in power.

I prefer not to merely sit on my hands and wait until ‘08, as more of our women and men in the armed services get blown up and shot to death, and as more innocent children, women and men in Iraq meet the same fate.

Can the crap, bob. You weren’t at the trial and you aren’t privy to the trial transcripts. You also apparantly haven’t bothered to read much except Reich-wing talking points. But I guess that’s ok, because you’ve gone back to supporting your fuherer.

Comment by TripMaster Monkey —

hacker bob, please disregard post #100.

I was under the impression you were referring to November 2004, when, upon further reflection, it seems that you were making a reference to November of 2006. Must be bleedover from the Hastings thread. ^_^

You’re assuming I was fooled.

The voters made the best choice they could from the Corporate-sponsored slate of candidates.

BnF,

…’til ‘08

Reporters … and defence lawyers!?!?! See here.

Cheers,

you’re just not paying attention…

you’re not helping…

Now maybe you can see how we (the Citizens of the US) were fooled in November.

Maybe the mask is being lifted from YOUR eyes.

You’re joking, right?

Here’s some reading material for you.

94 – at least a partial list wasn’t filtered…

Two things:

1) It’s a real indictment of this administration that the laundry list you have posted at #94 is only a partial list.

2) I’m seeing many of my posts disappearing down the rabbit hole as well. Earlier, I posted a comment about how rachel’s giant cut-n-paste post was merely two essays from other authors she found elsewhere on the Web, and reposted here without proper attribution. However, my post, which contained proper credit to the original authors, as well as links to where the original works could be located, was scrubbed. I attempting reposting numerous times, even going so far as to remove all links, but for some unfathomable reason, it was not deemed worthy of inclusion.

It’s frustrating when you’re thus muzzled from responding. Frustrating enough to make me resume considering a permanent change of venue…

I appreciate you last post. Now maybe you can see how we (the Citizens of the US) were fooled in November.

Maybe the mask is being lifted from YOUR eyes.
