This week's top story:
Other than Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway's continued absence and Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin's successful bid to become the first human to gurgle "Aw Crikey" underwater and have it understood, (kind of throws that "man and fish can coexist peacefully" statement right in to the fucking trash, eh Georgie?) there are only a few news stories this week to comment upon.
The bitchslap heard round the world!
Love him or hate him, you have to give credit to Bill Clinton for having the balls to finally put one of the Fox News automatons in his/her proper place. It was grand to finally see a Democrat shove the Karl Rove talking points right down the fucking throat of a right-wing gasbag. To say that Bill Clinton beat Wallace about the historical head and shoulders faster than Ann Coulter beats his meat the day before an estrogen treatment, would be an understatement to say the least. Citing the media's complicity in promoting a rewriting of historical events, Clinton let loose a barrage of talking points of his own. Now if we can only get the Democrats in Washington to run with the ball that he gave them, we might have a shot at holding this PresiDunce accountable for his crimes.
NIE CliffsNotes
If the three pages declassified from the National Intelligence Estimate are as bad as they appear, one must wonder what little taste treats must have been withheld? Of course, the right wing has asserted that once we win in Iraq, the terrorist threat will go away like a fart in a windstorm. However, when it comes to identifying what needs to be done to win in Iraq, the Republicans are as coherent as a stuttering Chinaman.
Spanking the Monkey
Well that's it folks, turn out the lights because the party is over now that RainMan has gotten another "Wapner rerun" from the Rubber Stamp Congress. Bush's so-called anti-terror legislation is the death knell to the United States Constitution and the Republican Kool-Aid Junkies could not be happier. This legislation will give the Chief Chimp in Charge the ability to suspend Habeas Corpus on whomever he sees fit and without a wit of oversight by the Judicial Branch of government. He can now torture to his and Gannon's hearts content. Not mention he will get to skip his happy ass all the way back to Crawford without worry of being prosecuted for War Crimes. This is truly a sad day for America.
Despite what the pussies of the Republican right will tell you, torture is not an American value. This country was founded on the ability of the accused to face the accuser, yet this value is lost with these fucks in congress. Are they so afraid of death that they are willing to give up everything we, as Americans, hold dear? Obviously they are! These spineless bastards are so afraid that another attack will occur that they are willingly turning this country into the new Soviet Union.
First, it was the attack on free speech with the use of "Free Speech Zones," something that I was taught went from border-to-border. Then it was an attack on voting rights with the use of preemptory challenges at the voting booth and touch screen voting machines owned and operated by corporations. Now, it is the direct attack on civil liberties under the guise of securing the Homeland. How fucking Nazi-esque of them! The only hope left is the Supreme Court and that is no hope at all!
