		<description>The Bushies want a two tier justice and economic system based on skin color and wealth. It colors all their thinking from cheap immingrant labor to who should go to jail and who should suck all the milk off the government teat while others starve.</description>

&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Simply Repulsive&lt;/strong&gt;
By: John Amato @ 6:36 AM - PDT    
These Scooter Libby apologists have lost their minds. I give youâ€¦Foad Ajami and the disgusting â€œCasualty of Warâ€
Words really canâ€™t describe this buffoon with innocent Iraqis and our own soldiers being killed and maimed, but Iâ€™ll let Mona give it a whirl.

... a WSJ opinion piece comparing scooter to a fallen soldier...
...disgusting...

as one commentor on mona&#039;s site noted:
&lt;em&gt;WSJ transformation to Fox News complete. Congratulations Mr. Murdoch. Youâ€™ve done it. -sy&lt;/em&gt;

		<description>well dantheman the Bush regime thinks that every little thing they do is an act of defending the country and not subject to oversight by the congress or courts.

Hopefully when this is done, and Libby has served his 30 months, we&#039;ll be able to REclarify the roles of the individual parts of the gvernment.</description>

		<description>NEWS FLASH! CONSERVATIVES ARE SUCH FRICKEN HYPOCRITES. This self proclaimed conservative at my office was harping on and on how Paris Hilton (sorry) should go to jail. She was exhuberant when the judge ordered it so. For the record, I was pleased with that as well. I digress. This woman kept going on and on about how everyone should be treated equally under the law. &quot;If you do the crime, then do the time&quot; she kept saying. I baited her a little about how any time a jury finds someone guilty and all legal procedures are followed, that the verdict and the sentence should be respected. She enthusiastically concurred. For about 5 minutes we went on about due process and the rule of law. Just as she triumphantly proclaimed that justice was served by Ms. Hilton&#039;s return to jail, I told her that Scooter Libby should also do the time. Her response? &quot;Well people shouldn&#039;t go to jail due to a fishing expidition.&quot; I reminded her about the grand jury, the judge, the jury, the verdict, the sentence, and due process. Her response was that he didn&#039;t commit any crime. Judge and jury concluded otherwise, I chimed in. Then she had the audacity to say that it&#039;s still not known whether any crime was commited or even that scooter lied tothe FBI investigators.  Conclusion, the justice system is fair only when it holds NON CONSERVATIVES accountable for violating the law. CONSERVATIVES ARE THE MOST IGNAORANT, STUPIDEST, BIGGEST HYPOCRATES ON EARTH. I hope the earth opens up and swallows them all.</description>

		<description>Being a â€œpretty nice personâ€ doesnâ€™t give you a free pass out of jail if you did a crime. 

Comment by Canuck observer

Show one  of my  comments  that  excused  or  &quot;give  ... a free pass out of jail if you did a crime.&quot;

I have nothing  but  contempt  for the way she has  acted  with the  crap she  has pulled trying  to avoid her  time for  the  crime and  for the media coverage.

Does anyone  ever really read  and think things out  anymore, or   just  browse  looking  for  something to   b*tch about?

		<description>Wayne at #54 says: &quot;Actually Paris is not a bad kid. She does charity work (Toys forTots, etc ), when not party hopping. She also has never ventured into the political arena.  Most people that know her say she is a actually pretty nice person.&quot;

Yah, reeee-ally. It&#039;s so nice she can fit in &#039;Toys for Tots&#039; when she&#039;s not partying.  Wow, I&#039;m impressed.   Thing is, m&#039;dear - there&#039;s a whole bunch of us who do the same thing, we volunteer even when it&#039;s inconvenient, even when it cuts into our &quot;partying time&quot; (i.e., toilet cleaning, laundry and cooking time), and none of us have EVER ventured into the political arena other than to vote and fact is - most of *us* folks are pretty nice people too.  Poor, but nice. Thing is, we don&#039;t have access to high priced lawyers when we screw up, so if we do, we do the time, STFU and take our medicine. As should the erstwhile self-identified porn star with access to millions. Being a &quot;pretty nice person&quot; doesn&#039;t give you a free pass out of jail if you did a crime.  Just ask Scooter, this time next week.

Meantime -- kudos to Judge Reggie Walton for his cutting and incisively correct  footnote.  Way to go Reggie!  I&#039;m old enough to remember when black folks couldn&#039;t register to vote without taking their lives in their hands -- now they&#039;re in a position to sentence former heavy duty White House Administration folks to time in jail.  Holy friggin&#039; cow! Maybe there is justice after all. Sure as hell looks good from this side of the 49th parallel -- maybe there&#039;s actually been progress down your way.  If so, good on ya -- but you still got a long way to go.  Getting rid of Bush/Cheney would be a start, if you start working on it tomorrow. 

Do it, do it now.  Time&#039;s a wastin&#039;!</description>

		<description>Now she claims that she canâ€™t serve her jail sentence because sheâ€™s mentally ill. Why is she allowed to drive at all?
Comment by Jess 

Hey, I also have called her a &quot;poor&quot;,  spoiled, little rich girl.
She  has more money than she  has  common  sense.
And  that  is why  children are not raised right  if  you give  them  everything they want.
She  definately needs  to grow  up.
That  is her  parent&#039;s  fault  as much as it is  hers.

But my  previous post  is   also true.
People  always have  more  than one side.

Judging  stereotypes rather than facts is why   we  are  bogged   down  in Iraq  now.

		<description>Pure rhetorical beauty in the truest American vein. Jefferson, and all that followed in the pursuit of the Founding Father&#039;s dream of a perfect construct of Democracy would be proud.

		<description>Robert Bork, such a distinguished pariah, just filed suit for $1,000,000 plus punative damages against the Yale Club of New York City because he fell going on stage for a speech (and he is a big proponent of tort reform). This man is a menace. Remember, he fired special prosecutor Archibald Cox for Nixon after both AG Elliott Richardson and Deputy AG William Ruckelshaus refused to do so. Actively anti-law enforcement. What is going on??</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;Actually Paris is not a bad kid. She does charity work (Toys forTots, etc ), when not party hopping. She also has never ventured into the political arena. Most people that know her say she is a actually pretty nice person.&lt;/i&gt;

Have you lost your mind?

This is a girl who, with every financial advantage, dropped out of high school, leads an utterly useless existence, got popped for dui (drugs and booze), broke probation 3 times, and has one excuse after another how it&#039;s somebody else&#039;s fault. She didn&#039;t know she wasn&#039;t supposed to drive (she was pulled over on a suspended license TWICE) because her &quot;publicist told her she could drive.&quot;

It&#039;s only for the grace of Zeus that she hasn&#039;t killed anybody with her MB.  

Now she claims that she can&#039;t serve her jail sentence because she&#039;s mentally ill.  Why is she allowed to drive at all?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Robert Bork-Nixonâ€™s hatchet man in the â€˜Saturday Night Massacreâ€™ in the Watergate investigation. Arenâ€™t you glad that when Reagan nominated him for the US Supreme Court, that he was â€˜Borkedâ€? I shudder to think if that party hack made it to the bench.

Comment by Uncle Ho â€” June 8, 2007 @ 7:02 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Ugh, me too, I remember thinking what was the big fuss about Bork, then, years later after smartening up, realizing just what a complete W style &quot;Justice&quot; Bork would have been, an overwhelming disaster of arrogant incompetence for real-world conditions which render absolute shades of black &amp; white moot

Bork&#039;s obviously been a bitter old bastard ever since getting destroyed out of a Supreme Court slot he considered as Divine Right, as well as a complete hypocrite about &quot;tort deform&quot;, wanting his legal claims to move forward while trying to restrict that same ability on the part of those injured or killed by unsafe products or unsafe working conditions/dangerous personnel-think medical malpractice &amp; police brutality here

I doubt this immensely satisfying smacking of Bork&#039;s overwrought histrionics by Judge Walton-one of W&#039;s first judicial appointees ironically enough-will make Bork&#039;s dour &amp; sour expression and outlook suddenly brighten in pure joy of the most innocent kind

And expect Mt Bork to smolder and steam even more should his laughable legal action about not properly balancing himself on a stairway be summarily dismissed

Well, Libby&#039;s team was right about one thing, there would be much public mockery of those rushing in to defend Libby, and yes, it&#039;s LOTS of fun to publicly poke these swine and vermin in the most insulting, withering manner possible</description>

See, I have been so busy lately I have had to shorten my time at TP and I miss some threads -- here I am thinking I have something to share and it turns out that I am the one arriving late!  :(

Oh well, he&#039;s still a hypocritical jerk.</description>
