During her testimony yesterday, former Justice official Monica Goodling “repeatedly declined to estimate how many times she had considered political affiliations in career hiring decisions.” “I don’t think that I could have done it more than 50 times, but I don’t know,” she said. She “further admitted that she ‘occasionally‘ researched career applicants’ political affiliations and checked their political donations.”
Iraqi Health Ministry statistics show that sectarian killings “are rising again.” 321 unidentified corpses, “many dumped and showing signs of torture and execution,” have been found in Baghdad this month — the same number found in all of January, before the escalation was launched.
Congressional leaders say they dropped Iraq timeline legislation because “White House attacks that they were again on vacation” for Memorial Day while the troops were fighting on the ground “seemed more politically threatening to them” than anger “from the left by bowing to Mr. Bush.”
Three more military language specialists have been discharged for being gay, and the House Armed Services Committee wants the Pentagon “to explain how it can afford to let the valuable language specialists go.”
“Hoping to subdue a rising wave of resistance” within their ranks, House leaders “are set to put their long-stalled lobbying reform package to a vote today.”
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) yesterday sent a letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates “seeking assurances that military leaders had drawn up ‘contingency’ plans so that American troops could pull out of Iraq without ‘unnecessary danger.’”
“The House approved legislation yesterday to upgrade and expand the nation’s network of health care and benefit outreach centers for military veterans,” one of seven veteran-related bills “that the House approved yesterday to provide millions more dollars in benefits.”
Watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington has sued the White House, “alleging the administration refuses to comply with a public records request related to more than 5 million e-mails from administration officials that have gone missing.”
Environmental enforcement efforts by EPA and the Justice Department “have plummeted over the last five years, resulting in a 38 percent decline in criminal fines and a 25 percent drop in civil penalties, according to a new report.”
And finally: A conservative journalist falls in love with Mitt Romney’s wife. Newsmax’s Ronald Kessler writes, “Ann is warm and very natural. She has the look of an outdoors woman bred to be an equestrian, which she is — good carriage, rosy complexion, square jaw, and blond mane. When she is not flashing her truly unbelievable smile, she may lower her eyes demurely. … She lowers her eyes, thinking, and then looks up directly at her interviewer and dazzles him with that smile.”

May 24th, 2007 at 9:04 amBush grants presidency extraordinary powers
Directive for emergencies apparently gives authority without congressional oversight
May 23, 2007, 2007Â WorldNetDaily.com
President Bush has signed a directive granting extraordinary powers to the office of the president in the event of a declared national emergency, apparently without congressional approval or oversight. The “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive” was signed May 9, notes Jerome R. Corsi.
…The directive establishes under the office of the president a new national continuity coordinator whose job is to make plans for “National Essential Functions” of all federal, state, local, territorial and tribal governments, as well as private sector organizations to continue functioning under the president’s directives in the event of a national emergency.
“Catastrophic emergency” is loosely defined as “any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions.”
Corsi says the president can assume the power to direct any and all government and business activities until the emergency is declared over.
…The directive also makes no reference to Congress and its language appears to negate any requirement that the president submit to Congress a determination that a national emergency exists. It suggests instead that the powers of the directive can be implemented without any congressional approval or oversight.
The White House declined to comment on the directive.

When asked why he wasn’t making personal attacks against Gore in 2000, Bush said he was”a Reagan Republican. Cutting down a tree sounds more like a George Washington thing.”
Of course, at the heart of any good joke is a kernel of truth. Gore is a tree hugger because he’s self-absorbed, and the Romneys were assembled with loving care in Christopher Walken’s laboratory.

As well they should be condemned. NO more vacations for any of these people until they get the dire matter of Iraq under control! Who among us “people” go on vacation when our main jobs are in disarray? I have skipped many a holiday in the past as I kept working to try to meet an important dead line or in a couple cases try to keep the company I was working for from just falling apart. Bush should NEVER have gone on any vacations while this fiasco has been spiraling out of control and neither should congress.

That’s where Congress should be looking for answers,and be decisive this time.
I think Bush became immuned to all these ‘non-binding’ resoltuions..and people are beginning to question and wonder how Democrats run business…fighting among themselves..and finally issuing toothless resolutions..
How far can they go doing this and keeping the trust of the people who handled them Congress leadership more than six months ago..?

In the past six years alone, wrote the historian Ilan Pappé, “Israeli forces have killed more than 4,000 Palestinians, half of them children.”
Consider how this power works. According to documents obtained by United Press International, the Israelis once secretly funded Hamas as “a direct attempt to divide and dilute support for a strong, secular PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] by using a competing religious alternative,” in the words of a former CIA official.
Today, Israel and the US have reversed this ploy and openly back Hamas’s rival, Fatah, with bribes of millions of dollars. Israel recently secretly allowed 500 Fatah fighters to cross into Gaza from Egypt, where they had been trained by another American client, the Cairo dictatorship. The Israelis’ aim is to undermine the elected Palestinian government and ignite a civil war. They have not quite succeeded. In response, the Palestinians forged a government of national unity, of both Hamas and Fatah. The latest attacks are aimed at destroying this.

My dear fellow left wing Americans,
I did this too, I just didn’t get caught. We all do this all the time. The governor of Illinois, Blagojavich and a Democrat, did the same thing.
both parties want party members to be part of their team. This is nothing new.
My Democratic friends in Congress are just show boating for the American people. Especially for our left wing base, who are complete nuts.
We are a do nothing congress, thus we must create scandals to apeace our base.

May 24th, 2007 at 9:49 amIs this true from the BBC
is this true:
“I have them because they are attached to the emails Rove insists can’t be found. I have the emails. 500 of them — sent to our team at BBC after the Rove-bots accidentally sent them to a web domain owned by our friend John Wooden.
Here’s what you need to know — and the Committee would have discovered, if only they’d asked:
1. ‘Caging’ voters is a crime, a go-to-jail felony.
2. Griffin wasn’t “involved” in the caging, Ms. Goodling. Griffin, Rove’s right-hand man (right-hand claw), was directing the illegal purge and challenge campaign. How do I know? It’s in the email I got. Thanks. And it’s posted below.
3. On December 7, 2006, the ragin’, cagin’ Griffin was named, on Rove’s personal demand, US Attorney for Arkansas. Perpetrator became prosecutor.
The committee was perplexed about Monica’s panicked admission and accusations about the caging list because the US press never covered it. That’s because, as Griffin wrote to Goodling in yet another email (dated February 6 of this year, and also posted below), their caging operation only made the news on BBC London: busted open, Griffin bitched, by that “British reporter,” Greg Palast.
May 24th, 2007 at 9:49 amBush Foists Propaganda About Iraq
Thursday 24th of May 2007
by Jay Randal
The bogeyman corpse of Osama bin Laden has been resurrected again in attempt to frighten the American public into believing evil terrorists are lurking in Iraq.
Yesterday the corporate owned TV press were shrilly promulgating the Bush Regime nonsense propaganda about terrorists plotting in Iraq to come into America.
According to the paid-off talking heads on television, on all the news programs, Al-Qaeda operatives/agents wait patiently in Iraq for US to leave and they take over.
Then the goat-herding international syndicate of cave dwelling terrorist Neanderthals in northern Pakistan could sweep across all of Arabia and destroy Israel too.
Then they could get on primitive rafts to float across the Atlantic Ocean, to invade the United States, to cut our throats as we slumber unaware in our bedrooms.
But actually any real terrorists could fly to Mexico on commercial jetliners, then saunter across the Mexican border dressed as illegal immigrants looking for jobs.
(Jay Randal, political activist and writer in Georgia, USA.)
PS: Contact Reps & Senators in DC to cut the crap, and end the US occupation fiasco of Iraq, plus to secure the wide-open Mex border.
May 24th, 2007 at 9:51 amHow about some good news for America and some bad news for the left and their Islamist allies.
TIME: “Is al-Qaeda on the Run in Iraq?”
http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1624697,00.html
The Taliban’s much-vaunted spring offensive has stalled apparently due to lack of organisation after dozens of middle-ranking commanders were killed by British troops in the past year, according to military sources. The death last week of the key Taliban leader Mullah Dadullah at the hands of American special forces has harmed the Taliban’s morale to the point that local commanders are having to tell their troops to “remain professional” despite the loss.
After suffering more than 1,000 dead in battles with the Parachute Regiment and Royal Marines in the last year, the Taliban retired to regroup and re-equip last winter.
A spring offensive was ordered by the Taliban leadership based in Quetta, Pakistan, and was meant to be launched in late March. But a lack of mid-level commanders has meant that there has been little co-ordination to bring about the offensive.
Hey, I guess killing these guys does help. (Via Don Surber).

“Rising again”? So this implies that secterian violence was down, right? But my left wing sycophant followers have told me all this time that secterian violence was up and that the surge was doing nothing?
How can it be rising again?
Furthermore, my sycophant followers, the full force of the surge will not be in place until the middle of the summer. The surge just began, if you knew military history you would know that it takes time for “surges” to work.
Only my Liberal sycophant followers would want immidiate and instant gratification.

May 24th, 2007 at 10:00 amHere:
When the Israeli army invaded Lebanon in 1982, the Shi’ites received them as liberators. After it became apparent that our army did not intend to go away, the Shi’ites started a war of liberation against them. Only then, in the course of the long and ultimately successful guerilla war, did the Shi’ites emerge as a major force in Lebanon. If there were justice in the world, Hezbollah would erect statues of Ariel Sharon.
The surge just began, if you knew military history you would know that it takes time for “surges†to work.

Yet the Bush administration cleverly states there is no civil war in Iraq.
If about 100 Americans fighting and dying a month constitutes a “war” why shouldn’t over 300 Iraqis?
Because Republicans know how to subliminally control the language.
When you’re engaged in a war it allows the terms win, surrender, victory, defeat to be employed. When you’re engaged in an occupation those terms lose their effectivness and power.
Bush and Cheney marginalize and discount the Iraqis’ civil war while hyping their own fake war. It is an OCCUPATION. Nothing but a contested occupation once the Iraqi army was defeated.
Wars are won and lost. Victory or defeat.
May 24th, 2007 at 10:06 amOccupations are not won and lost.
Those fighting the US know we have no right to be there, pretending to help while eying the oilfields.

I am a left winger, but geez, stop blaming America first.
We would have never gone into Korea if the N. Korean and China and the Soviet Union would not have invaded S. Korea.
We would have never gone into Vietnam if the Soviet Union would not have gotten involved in Vietnam, if the French would have occupied Indochina and begged JFK for help when the Vietnamese started kicking their butts.
We would have never gone into Kuwait in 1990 if Iraq wouldn’t have invaded this country and we wouldn’t be in Iraq today if Saddam Hussein had not been the equivalent of Hitler.

My fellow left wing followers, our party has betrayed us. I told Reid and Pelosi to do the will of the wacko left wing base or wrath would fall upon our party.
We have signed our death warrant. This is it, we have handed the 2008 elections to the Republican party.
But what did you expect my fellow left wing friends, we have never kept our campaign promises. We are not interested in what the left wing kooks have to say.
We only care about staying in power. To the average American we must look like we care about our troops. We must look like we want to win in Iraq. If we give in to our base, it would be death to our party.
I apologize to you from the bottom of my heart. My party, the Democratic party, doesn’t care about its base. It could careless that with your help we were elected into power after a 12 year absence.

No need to create an “emergency” when the Dems behave like whipped dogs.
May 24th, 2007 at 10:16 amCongressional leaders say they dropped Iraq timeline legislation because “White House attacks that they were again on vacation†for Memorial Day while the troops were fighting on the ground “seemed more politically threatening to them†than anger “from the left by bowing to Mr. Bush.â€
Steny Hoyer, Rahm Emanuel, Ellen Tauscher, and the rest of the blue dog doormats have absolutely no idea what they’re doing. They think they’re just blowing off a bunch of far left bloggers and that the rest of the country is going to embrace their willingness to capitulate to Bush. Venture outside of the beltway, folks. Everyone, except for the 28% or so who think Bush is wonderful, wants to see the Dems stand up to him. They want to see a fight. What should they have done instead? Throw the same goddam bill back in Bush’s face again and again. Let him keep vetoing it. America is not on his side. At least give Pelosi credit for not buying into this weak non-strategy of theirs. Not all of the Dems are backing down, just the clueless ones. If this bill goes forward the way it is, take note of which Dems vote for it. They should be challenged in their next primaries.
And, by the way, if you want to see this kind of appeasement on a grand scale, vote for Hillary. She’ll continue Bill’s policy of giving a free pass to all of the GOP crooks and helping them cover their tracks. Nothing will ever happen to Bush, Cheney, Rove, etc. if she gets in the White House. She’ll bury any attempt to investigate.
May 24th, 2007 at 10:20 amI dont think that is going to happen. They seem to have the opposition party in their pockets.

Then why the hell don’t they go out and buy some radio stations and pay off some tv news networks like the Republicans have to get their side of the story told!
I’ve been SCREAMING FOR YEARS Media, Media, Media, Media, Media.
The Repubs OWN the Media, that’s why they’re always on the Offensive and the Dems are always on the Defensive. If you’re always on the Defensive you LOSE every time!

Really? Hillary is a Republican? THAT BITCH!!! She has always told me that she is a Democrat!!! How dare she lie to me the smartest President to ever have set foot on the Oval Office rug?
me tought on Republicans? I wanted to be a JFK Democrat, an FDR Democrat, a Harry Truman Democrat. Unfortunately I realized that these Democrats of old would not be accepted in today’s Democratic Party. These past Presidents were heros, patriotic Americans, men that cared about America. As we all know, that is no longer the case in our party. Look at how we treat any Democrat that behaves like FDR, Harry Truman, JFK, (Liberman) we spit on them, we treat them like garbage.
My party is a party for left wing kooks. I know that, I accept that and I know that I must adapt to this. But Reid and Pelosi and unwilling to bow down to the kooks in their party, no wait, they are terrified about losing elections and they know that the left wing kooks are crazy.

Yes, I am coming out of the closet this October 11th.
May 24th, 2007 at 10:36 amJust a couple of points.
The whole issue of the reporter discussing Romney’s wife sounds a bit to fawning, a bit too inappropriate and a bit stalkerish maybe? It also sounds a bit Goebbels’s like. Almost like they are describing what a perfect Aryan, I mean conservative wife should be. I will get hammered for the Nazi reference, but there is not doubt these guys use propaganda methods right out of the Germany of the 1930’s.
The whole blame America first argument is so old and stale. Please how can you have debate what that is the response? If one lays out the specific US foreign policy moves and the negative consequences of those moves and the best defense you can offer is to slap the old, blame America first argument on the table then you have lost because you have not rebutted or seriously challenged a single assertion. Sometimes we do things wrong deal with it. Sometimes we do things right. Sometimes we do things right and bad results still happen. But tossing out a blame America first defense is just brain dead. Psst, while I’m on it, tossing out an example of where we were right is not bad, but when it comes down to we were right in stopping Hitler and then trying tot use that as a defense of mid east policies is just plain wrong because the two are un related and not even close to being analogies for each other.
The last thing I have to say is about the sweeping powers the president has granted himself in a national emergency, how generous of him. I think we will soon have a national emergency. Of course not having read the order I will assume that the definition of a national emergency is intentionally left to be very vague and that it will ultimately be up to the president to determine what a national emergency is. So it could be anything from a fender bender accident slowing traffic on the beltway to a nuclear bomb being detonated in a major US city (Guaranteed to be in a “blue” state). I’ve been looking for just such a move for some time. Remember those times when they shut down Washington because of a report of a gunman on the hill? It happened a couple of times before the election cycles. I always thought those were drills for moving congress to a safe location. They never enacted them because I believe they felt they had control of both the 2004 and 2006 elections. They were surprised by 2006. Now I can see that happening again, this time under the guise of a national emergency. Though the purpose of the new order escapes me because the president has always said that he can do anything when it comes to protecting the country, ignoring of course that his oath of office says that he is to defend the constitution. I will give them a lot of credit for convincing 30% of the people that his job is to defend them, not the constitution. That propaganda effort has allowed them to reach the point where he can sign a presidential order such as this and not even raise an eyebrow in the media.
I also find it amusing the “President Clinton” claims to march in lock step with the democratic party while spewign right wing talking point sover and over.

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
So what Republicans AND Democrats sold Hussein weapons during the Iran and Iraq War. The soviet union sold weapons to Iran and Iraq, so did the French, German, British, etc.
FDR sold weapons to the Soviet Union during WWII, and we all know that Stalin was a monster, FDR knew that Stalin was a monster when we sold him weapons to defeat Nazi Germany.
Some times you have to side with the lesser of two evils like FDR did siding with Stalin during WWII and like we did siding with Iraq during the Iran-Iraq War.
Why aren’t you crying about FDR selling weapoins and giving billions of dollars to the Soviet Union to Stalin, who murdered more people than any dictator in modern history?
Barfly, obviously you onlly know a revisionist, one sided history.

May 24th, 2007 at 11:59 amDid anyone catch (er…stomach) Bush’s press conference this morning? I saw part of it. He was asked about Monica’s testimony regarding using political considerations in hiring employees, and Bush refused to address it, saying instead that there was a big ol’ important investigation going on in the DOJ and it would take a while to complete. I expected him to say “…and I will not comment about an ongoing investigation” but he didn’t. Yet the insinuation was there.
He also said that the Dems in Congress were just playing politics with the DOJ/U.S. attorney scandal and that they just needed to stop these silly hearings and get on with their business of passing bills and stuff. Well…somthing like that.

You first. I want quotes (and their sources) of Democrats in Congress publicly saying that they want the U.S. to lose in Iraq and fully support all current and future operations by terrorist groups.
May 24th, 2007 at 12:22 pmContinuing with the Bush press conference…
He also said that we are in Iraq at the invitation of the Iraqis, and if the government asked us to leave, we’d get out.
So a majority of the American people want us out of Iraq and Bush says “f*ck you, we’re staying” and the generals on the ground in Iraq will make the decisions…not politicians in Washington…and that if we leave then terrorists will follow us home and attack us in our shopping malls and grocery stores and the Middle East region will fall into further chaos and destabilization and al Qaeda will be able to install a training ground and launching pad in Iraq from which to launch future terrorist attacks and blah blah blah.
But if the Iraqi’s ask us to leave? “Ummm…OK. Sure.”
May 24th, 2007 at 12:30 pmIn fact, the only difference is that there are no ovens or 20 millions of Americans killed. But it would be lecturing just to count the number of civilians killed by US interventions, occupations and landings since WWII.

Why would any place designed to hold humans temporarily need 10 enormous industrial incinerators? But there they are… some say that these camps are for holding illegal immigrants, which doesn’t make it any prettier than if they are for holding disgruntled citizens, IMO.
The scariest thing I have seen on the internet so far.

So, do you think that it was wrong for our Democratic god, FDR, to sell weapons and give billions of dollars to the Soviet Union so they could defeat Hitler?
You do know that yoru communist buddy, Stalin, killed more individuals than Hitler, right? Yet, FDR shook his hand, and helped him defeat Hitler.
If we go with your logic, FDR should have never helped Stalin and let Hitler conquer the Soviet Union, right?
You are a mental light weight. I am the smartest President to ever have set foot on the Oval Office rug and you are boring me with your typical communist propaganda.
You forget son, that most of my friends are like you. I debate them all the time and win. I am the smartest President to ever set foot on the Oval Office rugs.
May 24th, 2007 at 12:35 pmYou do know that yoru communist buddy, Stalin, killed more individuals than Hitler, right?
First, Stalin was a train assailant back in his native Georgia. He went up in the Communist party, becuz they were just organized peasants in the middle of a revolution. Stalin knew nothing about communism, just like…you. So, please, spare me the childish talk.
The German army was defeated by the Russians, being Stalingrad the turning point. Zukhov was a military genius and saw that they wouldnt defeat the heavily armed Nazi army, therefore russians fought it body to body style. Then russians sent Nazis back all the way upt ot Berlin where US and Britain forces arrived just to make sure they got something in the Germany bounty. I doubt that FDR make some difference in the whole affair.
Keep it up.
