The Eye Rack Eees are finally dancing in the streets for our troops! Unfortunately, 4 more of our troops were killed on the eve of the turnover. Of course Dead Eye Dick, who has been DEAD WRONG about everything is crying the blues. Here's an idea, send Dick and his cronies to stay the course in Eye Rack.
Strom Sandford (r. teabagger, hypocrite South Carolina) and his Lolita Speak Out. But wait! There maybe MORE WOMEN! Looks like the media has replaced Strom Sanford with a new golden boy. Strom Sandfords' unmarried, childless friend and one of his sons' godfather, Lil Lindsey Graham proves that republicans care more about their political careers than they do the people they are supposed to represent by saying Sandford can save his career if he "reconciles with his wife". Strom Sanfords' wife Jenny said he "could worry about his own career". You go girl!
All Politics is Local and ADECA finally decides to apply for stimulus money in the black belt. Rove will be questioned behind closed doors about allegations of improper political influence in the agency during the administration of former President George W. Bush, including whether Rove had any role in encouraging the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman.
What's on your mind today?

It took Rove this long to get his lies straight? Is he under oath or on a waterboard behind those closed doors?
The Conyers Judiciary committee, in my opinion, has botched this thing from way back. They should have called some of the other folks who Jill Simpson says was on that phone call (who could claim no immunity) and built the pressure for Rove to come before Congress in the setting of its choice and be grilled publicly.
Jesus, what did Will Rogers say again about being a Democrat?
In one of the hearings, Rep. Davis brought out Simpson's phone bill that showed that she was on a 12 minute call with one of the parties who denies ever talking to her. Anyone can deny when not under oath, but get them under oath and it's a different story.
Commonsense would count it pretty suspect if someone on a call about doing what was alleged, says, "I don't recall having that conversation" to a question about whether they were talking about "getting Siegelman." And taking the fifth would be an almost gotcha moment.
Clearly there was a plan to prosecute Siegelman out of office, just as there was motive means and opportunity for this all to happen. If there's nothing there it will show itself, but getting these folks on the record, and most importantly, under oath, would have helped clarify a lot in this matter.
It's bizarre that this has not taken place to this point.
I guess that clears the path at long last. Franken is the comedian, but Coleman and Pawlenty are the jokes.
Franken news conference in 45 minutes, 4:15 Central.
As you are fond of saying "lighten up". Actually I spelled Eye Rack Eees the way Bu&h prounounced it.
Bush said the Eye Rack Eeees will dance in the street for our troops.
Bush said the Eye Rack Eeees would throw flowers and candy at our troops.
Bush said Mission Accomplished in Eye Rack.
Bush said he was liberating the Eye Rack Eees from an evil DICKtator.
to the "reality based" community.
tee hee!
George W-ar Bush never claimed the reason we were going to war in Iraq was because Saddam was an evil dictator. Bush said he had proof of tons and tons of WMD in Iraq and Saddam was about to use them on us. Bush also said there was a connection between Saddam and 911. Both of those claims were totally false.
Saddam denied any connections to the "zealot" Osama bin Laden, cited North Korea as his most likely ally in a crunch, and shared President George W. Bush's hostility towards the "fanatic" Iranian mullahs, according to the FBI records of conversations from February through June 2004 between Saddam and Arabic-speaking agents in his detention cell at Baghdad International Airport.
Sorry, but I can't give credit to the "change of course in Iraq". Over 4,000 American soldiers died on Iraqi soil. Countless innocent Iraqi men, women and children were killed. I can't give "credit" for that.
