My Heart Bleeds

Sucks to be on the other side, eh boys?

Assholes.


Read it and weep for the Jack Booted thugs caught up in their own system.

One item of note that caught my eye was that good old Fitz is the guy that nailed all these fuckers.
 You might recall Patrick Fitzgerald as the prosecuting attorney in the Plame case who got fucked by Scooter Libbey lying his ass of protecting that living dead motherfucker Darth Cheney and was subsequently gifted out of prison by Stupie McFuckwit.

Oh yes,some of us don't forget about treason, you sonsabitches.

Null And Void

You get elected and go to a Fund Raiser  instead of Swearing The oath?

Fuck you.

Better yet, you avoid the Swearing In Ceremony so you can go to a fundraiser"?

Done.
You are not an official. Apparently it is illegal to suck corporate dick in front of people in the Capitol too, your bad, sluts.

Your new Speaker of the House got busted handing out checks from the tobacco lobby on the house  floor too, just so ya know.


They should be impeached immediately and barred from seeking office ever again.

Why Isn't Bush Jr.In Jail?

Ok, this is really pissing me off.

In the last two weeks I keep seeing this fucking bastard in the news.

The last one was that he was damn glad he ordered prisoners to be water boarded.

Hello?

His response? Damn right I did.
That is fucking torture and the dumb sonofabitch just admitted it and nothing happened, again.

Seriously.

In George W. Bush's new memoir, Decision Points, the former president explains that the CIA approached him about the possibility of waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the al-Qaeda operative often called "the architect of 9/11." In his memoir, Bush writes that his response was "Damn right." This seems to be a straightforward admission that Bush approved the use of waterboarding on a detainee--even though this technique is widely regarded as inhumane, and its use is thought by many to violate the United Nations Convention Against Torture, of which the United States is a signatory.

It makes me want to tear what little hair I have out by the fucking roots.
He then lies again and says he really didn't want to go to war in Iraq in the first place and actually thought about replacing that dirt dog rotten sonofabitch Cheney as Vice President.


Two questions.

Who the fuck are you trying to kid and who is your fucking lawyer?

Why?

Why am I seeing this piece of fucking shit being interviewed and why is he not in a holding cell?

He has admitted to international war crimes.

Now he is out and about,ADMITTING them on national television!


Nothing I can say is going to change this but I am going to say it anyway.
The rotten mother fucker is guilty of treason and war crimes.

He just admitted it.
Let me repeat that,
Former President Bush has admitted to authorizing Crimes against humanity.

Google it, I just did.

"Damn Right".

Ya wonder why I figure the rules are for little people and I ain't a little people?

Because Fuck You,

All men are created equal and all that shit.



You have got to be kidding me that I live in a country when a self proclaimed war criminal is wandering around the television circuit bragging about his crimes and I have to sweat bullets wondering whether or not my fucking license plate light is out or I have my fucking seat belt on.

Kiss my mother fucking ass.

How's That For Family Values?

What happened to the sanctity of marriage Karl?

Hypocritic, treasonous , serial liar, Karl Rove just got divorced, again.
If I hear about the sanctity of marriage out of one more winger asshole within kicking distance, someone is going to be walking with a limp for a long time.



No mention of a restraining order.

The Death Knell For Joe Lieberman

How sweet it is.
Olympia Snowe crossed party lines against heavy threats to vote for some kind of Health care reform.
Someone promised that lady part of the moon, I ain't stupid.
Let me stop there,not.
Yes, I can fucking guarantee that they gave this lady that part of the moon they just blew up.
I can also guarantee that they have been sending her roses and blowing up her skirt for about four years now, tryin' to counter that little fucking cunt Joe Lieberman.
Damned if I know what it took, maybe some hot little Puerto Rican pool boys on speed dial, I don't give a fuck.
The damage is done.

She voted for it under threats by her own party that she would be denied a high ranking seat on an influential committee.

That tells me one thing.

Joe Fucking Lieberman is about to get his due.

Sweet revenge is mine.

Ya cocksucker,traitorous motherfucker, back stabbing sonofabitch, they just went around yer ass.
LMAO!

Hows that feel Judas?

Even Arlen Specter is smarter than you, that has to hurt, ya miserable piece of shit, because Arlen is a demonstrable weasel, he will jump to another party for political gain faster than his Viagra takes effect.

Dude, you just got played and I am so fucking happy, I am going to send five bucks to Ned Lamont, again.

Suck my Dick, even better, fall over dead.

Dick Cheney Is A GangBanger

By every definition, Dick Cheney is a criminal gang member.

As far as I can see, the only modern activity exemplified with gangster activity that no one has proof of the Vice President doing is Tagging, more than likely because he is too fat and lazy.

It seems that less than a month before our Vice President is going to have to be forcibly removed from his highly controversial quest for the Permanent Majority, by Popular Vote ,with his objective of a Unitary Executive,Mr. Cheney has gotten quite chatty with certain members of the press and is one unapologetic sociopath when it comes to his legacy.

The case against this renegade VP is long and well documented, his proven decision to throw Valerie Plame under the bus, a covert CIA agent working on the Iranian quest for nuclear power while undercover is without a doubt, treason.
A recent interview with Vice President Cheney has him actually bragging about his role in the disclosure of Valerie Plames status in his enraged quest for political revenge on her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson, because he actually had the guts to call out the fabricated reasons for going to war that the Bush administration were shoving down the throats of such highly respected ( cough, cough) high volume Right Wing talking point delivery systems like the NYT, WAPO and any other NeoCon leaning Propaganda printing press they could threaten with denying access to President Bush or his official disseminators.

I don't have the time to go into Cheney's apparent( read alleged) money laundering and profit objective relationship with Halliburton.


Let me just remind you that Nine Billion Dollars remain unaccounted for that were drop shipped in plastic wrapped pallets into Iraq on military transport planes, never to be seen again.


This is without going into Mr. Cheney's relationship with Halliburton, there are so many horror stories associated with that bunch of "business people", that there should be mass prosecutions at every level.

Mr. Cheney has had portable shredders at his official home for days on end, had his records room burned in a Washington DC fire, has repeatedly asserted that the official role of the Vice President of the United States is some kind of aberration when it comes to oversight and is not a part of the Executive Branch and has basically spit in the eye of every , and I do mean every, oversight committee that he has ever met.

If there are not hundreds of official investigations into this mans conduct as the Vice President of the United States of America in the next couple of years then I will just concede the fact that the Constitution has been De Facto been voided and is dead.

I don't want to hear how the incoming administration needs to look forward to carry on the business of this country.
I will scream bullshit at the top of my lungs if there are not criminal investigations, proceedings for trials not implemented to prosecute the cabinet level members responsible for torturing not only foreign born but American citizens by extraordinary rendition to foreign countries, waterboarding captured prisoners and the release of all Presidential records, including, and especially, the records of Vice President Dick Cheney.
The sullen and secret stomping out of the rights and freedoms guaranteed to the citizens of the United States by decree and Signing statement, the twisted legal advice of some legal advisers very seriously need to be reviewed and rescinded, the intentional denial of all of the above needs to be investigated upon the physical departure of the current administration and the appointment of special investigators need to be announced two minutes after President Elect Obama swears on Lincolns Bible to defend and protect the Constitution Of The United States of America, from enemies foreign and domestic, just like that lying bastard Bush did.


The people of this country have been put through Hell on the advice of some very questionable legal advisers. Maybe it is time for a class action lawsuit to sue for compensation and recriminations.

What A Surprise

I knew this was coming but it sure was sweet to see someone with the huevos to actually press charges on these two.

Cheney, Gonzales indictments dropped
RAW STORY
Published: Monday December 1, 2008

A judge in Raymondville, Texas has dropped indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Judge Manuel Banales, after surviving a motion to have him removed from the case, threw out eight of the indictments brought by Willacy County District Attorney Juan Guerra, including those against two special prosecutors, two district judges, and a district clerk.

Judge Banales ruled the grand jury returned the indictments against Cheney and Gonzales unlawfully. Banales also tossed an indictment for corruption against State Senator Eddie Lucio Jr., a Democrat.

"I've Been thinking And I Think I don't Want To Be Together Anymore"

How many times have I heard that one?
There must be an issue of Cosmopolitan that I missed at the dentist's office.

This time it ain't me, it's that treasonous , two timing weasel, Lieberman, FINALLY!

Step off , we just ain't into you no more.

I was a big cheerleader when Jane Hamsher took up the cause to get rid of Lieberman and it took the Democratic Big Wigs to bring to bear their displeasure after Ned Lamont KICKED Short Rides ASS in the Primary and now we see thathat weasel motherfucker had to give money to the Democrats while at the same time stumping for McCain.
Lieberman has been fucking the Democrats ever since he got his ass handed to him in the primary and has been slowly but surely exacting his revenge until it got to the point that he is a Republican in everything but name.

Better get used to being the Rodney Dangerfield of politics ya treacherous fucking bastard.


This treasonous ass licker has been siding with the Republicans ever since he got his ass kicked by an unknown in his bid for reelection as the Senator from Connecticut. He even mentored a freshman Senator from Illinois, Mr. Barack Obama, whom he is currently back stabbing at a furious pace.
Finally, finally, after being warned that if he stood up and made a speech at the Republican National Convention, the Democrats have had enough.
Personally, I would have dropped him off in the middle of Philly at midnight with a dollar and a dead cell phone.
Joseph Lieberman is the worst sort of traitor to any political party, he is only out for Joseph Lieberman.
And if one single person paying any attention to what is going on thinks Sarah Palin is a bad choice for Vice President, let me put this into perspective for you, even that Republican strategist and Treasonous fucking bastard Karl Rove couldn't make Joseph Lieberman palatable enough for the Base, it seems thirty pieces of silver is just a parting gift.
They might be racist ignorant sonsabitches, even they don't tolerate those who betray their own party.

Lieberman is going to go down in history as the only self centered quisling bastard to be defeated as the candidate for the Vice Presidency of both major parties, even though he didn't get the official nomination from the Republicans, he was close enough.
Have an asterisk ya sonofabitch.
Get the fuck out, Wrong Way Joe.

Fannie May and Freddy Mac Bailed Out

They finally did it, the rumors have been flying for weeks.

Funny how there was no mention of any investigations into possible criminal misconduct or any possible prosecutions for fraud.
Funny, Ha Ha.

Privatize profit and Socialize loss.

Somebody needs to explain this process to me so I can understand how Billions of dollars in bad loans suddenly became MY FUCKING PROBLEM.
Cocksuckers.
I already had to sell both of my houses and take the hit.
These motherfuckers should be moving into twenty five year old RV trailers right next door too.

Better yet, FEMA trailers.

Welcome To Reality Chumps

As I stroll through Blogtopia (Y! SCTP) lately, I am saddened by the fact that many people have suddenly realized they actually live in a Police State.

Where the fuck have you been?
You are just now coming to this realization?

It must be nice to be so insulated.

Rodney King ring a bell?

Just so ya can fully understand, Leave It To Beaver has been off the air for over Forty Years and Daddy Knows Best was a Goddamn farce in it's day.

This ain't Mayberry folks, it is much more akin to Stalinist Russia if ya start looking past the fucking Starbucks Latte in yer hand.

Think back to whenever you became aware of your surroundings, Fifties, Sixties, Seventies, hell the Eighties was a giant leap for the machine.
Then came the nineties and Technology went through the roof.
Now it is unmasked Fascism, raw and deadly serious.

Pre emptive raids on journalists with hopped up warrants that are so fucking sloppily thrown together they don't even bother with the correct address, you motherfuckers are getting raided at gunpoint without cause, without due process, without breaking a single law and without resistance.
Resistance is futile.
Want to gather peaceably for a political statement anywhere in this country?
Get ready to get pepper sprayed, tazered, beat up, tortured, denied food, water or medical attention, just for starters.

Nice to see that the MSM is all over these developments, (cough, cough)
even as they are being abused and arrested like they are so much different than the average anarchist.
The fact that the media is not screaming bloody murder is a very telling non statement.
Fucking weasels.
Good Morning Amerika, try not to stray into the public domain without being ready to be arrested for standing on the fucking sidewalk, what are you thinking, anyway?

Get back to work, if you are lucky enough to have a fucking job and whatever you do,
DO NOT even appear to have an opinion or try to voice it, they WILL tazer yer ass, Bro.

The bestest part to come January, not a fucking thing is going to change in that aspect, Comrade.
It doesn't matter who gets into the Whitehouse.

Too Late.

The motherfuckers won while I was passed out back in the eighties.
At this point I highly recommend placing your head between your knees and kissing yer ass goodbye.
In case you weren't paying attention, ya need to start reading this guy every fucking day.
Just for fun, here is an article that should make yer ass pucker.
I have lots more, one at a fucking time.


Oh, by the way, the current flap going on with Russia?
Yeah, SHINY, ain't it?
Ask yer neighbors how they are doing.
The foreclosure rate in California,ALONE, is ONE THOUSAND, THEE HUNDRED, PER DAY.
Georgia, SHINY.

I am going to start linking to some sites that are going to make you think about taking some preemptive steps to get ahead of the coming shit storm.
Take a minute to think bout what you have immediately on hand to weather out a short term emergency. Then take a long look around at what the fuck is coming our way. I do believe that we all need to start looking down the road to some serious instability, in other words.
Wise the fuck up, this country is Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition.
It is right on schedule, but it is out of the control of the wise assed motherfuckers that gamed the system. The first clue you should have got was when we got volunteered to bail out Bear Stearns.
Fannie and Freddy Mac was the death blow.
Whoo Hoo.I love getting blinded by tinfoil in the morning, especially when it was used to wipe someones ass.
Read the fucking links.
The whole fucking world is about to get punked.
Have a nice day and don't forget to vote.
It gives them something to do, changing the propaganda to fit the latest polls.

The Attorny General Of The United States Of America CoversUp Illegal Acts

Yeah, Fuck You Mukasey, you ass covering sonofabitch.
Mukasey has already stymied efforts at making the Bush administration accountable, not enforcing Congressional subpoenas, squashing investigations and now this latest outrage;

Mukasey Won’t Pursue Charges in Hiring Inquiry


By ERIC LICHTBLAU @ NYT
Published: August 12, 2008

WASHINGTON —

Attorney General Michael Mukasey on Tuesday rejected the idea of criminally prosecuting former Justice Department employees who improperly used political litmus tests in hiring decisions, saying he had already taken strong internal steps in response to a “painful” episode.

Right.
Read on,

“Where there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, we vigorously prosecute,” he said. “But not every wrong, or even every violation of the law, is a crime,” he said. As the inspector general’s report acknowledged, the hiring violations were such a case, because the wrongdoing violated federal civil service law, but not criminal law, he said.

Let me get this straight, you can break a law but not break it.
How the fuck does that work Einstein?
It gets better here;

“That does not mean, as some people have suggested, that those officials who were found by the joint reports to have committed misconduct have suffered no consequences,” Mr. Mukasey said. “Far from it. The officials most directly implicated in the misconduct left the Department to the accompaniment of substantial negative publicity.

“Their misconduct has now been laid bare by the Justice Department for all to see,” he continued. “As a general matter in such cases, where disciplinary referrals are appropriate, they are made. To put it in concrete terms, I doubt that anyone in this room would want to trade places with any of those people.”

My bold.

Ouch, the pain, the humiliation, THE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES OF BREAKING THE LAW,

"substantial negative publicity"

Kiss my ass.

There should be severe penalties from these actions and the bastard is sweeping it under the rug, all the while Miers, Bolten and Rove are ignoring Congressional subpoenas demanding further testimony into the investigation of just who in the fuck gave the OK for this illegal activity in the first place!

That weasel Gonzales is still out there too, hiding behind his faulty memory excuse.

This is pure horseshit, obstruction of justice by the biggest attorney in our country, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution.

You can bet your ass we haven't heard the end of this shit and Mukasey should be cooling his heels in jail for obstruction and dereliction of duty, not to mention conspiracy.
Asswipe.

Please Excuse Me For A Minute

I was right in the middle of a scathing post about that glans licking, brown eye polisher Joe Fucking Lieberman when I got interrupted by a phone call from some family.
Nothing to get too worked up over, just some really fucked up scheduling issues.
Really fucked up.
Oh well, I have a week of getting plastered before it comes up again, I work well under pressure.
Back to your regularly scheduled Lieberman bashing.

One of the many people I would relish having a face to face with, right up until I got arrested.
Weasel Motherfucker.

One More Day

God willing, I am going to take a fucking vacation and try to get my shit together after tomorrow.
More of a "Staycation", Kudos to the broke motherfucker that came up with that one.
Too many folks are doing it without a choice.
Do yerself a favor and start paying a bit of attention to the shit storm that is playing out in the world of High Finance, We Be Fucked.

Smarter Than The Government Somebody Else Voted For.

What the Hell is it with these idiots?
Apparently they are so rich they have never had to deal with getting their asses kicked by someone that is just a little bit smaller and ten times as vicious as they are.
Never had a mosquito bite?
There seems to be a bully syndrome to end all Bully syndromes with these sadistic , bug squashing, cat torturing and frog blasting sociopaths. Wait, I almost forgot Abu Graib and Guantanamo, and let's not forget the fun they had in New Orleans .
OK, I guess they are the masters of the sucker punch and the age old trick of pushing someone backwards over one of their friends, down on all fours right behind the knees.
Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck, have some quail wings and get over it.

Lick me where I pee, I lost my sense of humor with these weasels a long time ago.

It's quite obvious, they never had a punch in the face that caused them to suck on their teeth for a few weeks,or a curb stomp, just a few Atomic Wedgies to remind them there were some bigger fish in the pond, fifty damn years ago, and Boy Howdy, did they never forget.

Now that they have had the Shock Troops at their disposal for the last eight years, it seems that it is old hat to throw some over grown sunglass festooned enforcers into the public space to make sure there is no "unpleasantness" while they have to appear anywhere near the unwashed masses. The abuse of power this administration has perpetrated on the people who inhabit the same Biosphere has been breath taking, especially with all of the gutless protoplasmic enablers continually claiming to be the opposition party prostrating themselves like a dog that has been beaten, rolling on it's back, pissing on it's stomach, begging to be given a chance to prove it's loyalty.

Once again, the whisperings of an enhanced state of concern about a "Heightened State Of Awareness" over nebulous potential security concerns have been surreptitiously been forwarded to the correct sources of disinformation, just like the last election, at the exact time, before any election was even started.
This time they have restrained themselves from blatantly raising the ridiculous Homeland Security " Threat Level" to "Orange", they are just , at least for once, showing that even overzealous monkeys can learn from their mistakes.

I am sick and tired of idiots trying to lead me around like I have a ring in my nose.

Anyone who is not aware of what the hell is going on in the media and on the official government channel at this point in the Neocon bid to retain the Presidency ,and a majority in Congress, can come see me, I have a Bridge to No Where to sell, it seems Ted Stevens (Indicted Republican, Soon To Find Real Metal Toobz In His Future) won't have time to shove it down any one's throat like he thought he could.

I am quickly tiring of trying to play Chinese Checkers with idiots that can't shuffle cards.

We Have Target Aquisition

It's looking like McStain is the De Facto Republican nominee.
Think Progress is reporting that the Squirrel Muncher, Huckabee, is dropping out and that McStain is heading to Mafia Central to swear the oath of Omerta and get Don Stupie's blessing.
It is time my friends and compatriots, to chain George Walker Bush to John McCain in unholy matrimony until death do they part.
McCain is about to find out just how many citizens in this country have HAD ENOUGH.
His willingness to embrace the morally bankrupt Bush policies and actually RUN on the promise of continuing these batshit insane policies must be used like a pile driver to crush his candidacy into the ground.We must now prepare to counter the Mighty Wurlitzer and the whole of the main stream media who have been breathlessly waiting for this moment to unleash their propaganda at our nation in their reprehensible and irresponsible desire to sway the American voter.
I can absolutely guarantee you that this campaign just went into carpet bombing mode.

I want everyone to be extremely vigilant in watching for the media to be slipping subtle articles and blurbs here and there supporting McCain.
McCain has serious money problems and advertising costs money, tons of it.
This is really just the beginning of McCain's campaign and he already has money trouble?
Bet yer ass the media is going to help him out in every way they can, they are after all, nothing more than an extension of the Republican party and the propaganda arm that so willingly has aided and abetted the destruction of our civil rights.
You watch, the print media is just as horrible as Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck,it's just a different medium to transmit their message.
Remember what has really happened in this country under Republican rule and FIGHT BACK!

Ornery Bastard

The Conservatives are pushing all the buttons they can find.
Like paranoid ferret's on crack in a small wire cage they are frantically chewing on the wire mesh that holds them prisoner.
The problem is, that wire mesh cage is one of their own making.

I am an Ornery Bastard, I came by it honestly enough, it is in my genetic history.
My Grandfather on my fathers side was an Ornery Bastard too.My Father is no slouch if he feels the need to get his point across to a particularly unreceptive dolt.My Great Grandfather I can only go by family lore, but that was one old man you didn't tangle with, ever, according to surviving witnesses.
Something about the particular strain of Scotch / Irish we are I assume.

I am a reasonable enough guy, I don't actively go looking for trouble (anymore).
But after having to listen to, watch and deal with the vitriolic, mindless all encompassing hate of the so called Conservative Republican Party since I was old enough to become aware of my political surroundings, about thirty years, I am not going to sit by and let it go unanswered.
I believe the legendary Steve Gilliard said it best, God rest his soul,
"...you have a choice: be a fighting liberal or sit quietly. I know what I am, what are you?" --

Having never in my life being one to sit quietly,that has meaning to me.

The Conservatives, the Christopaths and the Right Wing Trolls who continually, day after day, try to force feed their twisted version of what it means to be an American, reinforced by the media in this country, has taken it's toll.I have very little patience for it anymore.

When the most important news item I see first thing in the morning is how much someones haircut cost, or whether or not someone is showing enough patriotism for
not wearing a two dollar lapel pin, MADE IN CHINA,it's enough to make me shake my head in disgust.
When I , and millions of my fellow countrymen are accused of being TRAITORS, because we refuse to mindlessly follow the obscene bloodlust of the warmonger class and it's perverted minions, I draw the line.
You have to look no farther than the appointed President and his staff of paid character assassins and proven liars who purposely leaked the identity of OUR OWN undercover CIA agent to the press,for purely political reasons, who then published that information unquestioningly, if you would like to observe traitors in our midst.

Add into this toxic stew an obstructionist Republican party, torturing people, the mulching of our Constitution at every turn, the bankrupting of our treasury, uncontrolled graff and corruption, and you will, if you have been paying the slightest bit of attention, start to see why I give no quarter to this murderous pack of jackals.
A President of The United States of America who gives his middle finger in answer to repeated attempts at pointing out that what he is doing is illegal.
The ruling elite of the Democratic party do not get a free pass in my contempt of what passes for politics in this country either.
They have completely abdicated any responsibility to uphold the oath each and every one of them swore to protect and defend the Constitution of our country.
So my advice to you is, if you are looking for someone who is a doormat and will sit quietly and do what his so called betters tell him he should do, find someplace far far away from me.

Respect begets respect, and like Rodney Dangerfield, I don't get no respect, and neither does anyone else in this country who doesn't have a net worth of several million dollars.

I am not going to sit quietly and I am going to continue to point out and highlight the grievous injustices that seem to happen by the hour in this country.
I am going to be rude about it too.

Helping BushCo Hide The Truth

Alabama station drops broadcast of 60 Minutes expose on political prosecution scandal

Larisa Alexandrovna


Oh Boy, where to start with this one.
This whole deal is a glaring example of Karl Rove arm twisting to get done through trumped up charges and the Justice department what he couldn't get done by rigging elections.
Trumped up charges and prosecutorial misconduct and misrepresentation.
The former Governor of Alabama,Democrat Dan Siegelman is curently in prison because of these alleged crimes.
Larisa deserves huge credit for continuing to expose the seemingly unlimited corruption Bush and Company have perpetrated on the American political scene.
From the article,

CBS's 60 Minutes broadcast Sunday regarding the alleged political prosecution of Democratic Alabama governor Don Siegelman went dark in the northern third of Alabama last night. According to WHNT-TV, the local CBS affiliate, the issue was caused by a technical malfunction.

"We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring a report titled, 'The Prosecution of Don Siegelman,'" a WHNT story said.

CBS News – which owns 60 Minutes – denied any problem on their end.

Scott Horton of Harper’s magazine reported late last night that CBS was directly pointing back at the local outlets as the cause of the problem.

"I contacted CBS News in New York and was told that 'there is no delicate way to put this: the WHNT claim is not true. There were no transmission difficulties. The problems were peculiar to Channel 19, which had the signal and had functioning transmitters.' I was told that the decision to blacken screens across Northern Alabama 'could only have been an editorial call.'"

snip

Heh, SOMEBODY got BULLSHIT called on 'em.

WHNT, Channel 19 of Huntsville, Alabama, issued a press release shortly after the broadcast.

We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring "The Prosecution of Don Siegelman."

It was a techincal (sic) problem with CBS out of New York. We are working (click to read rest) with them right now to see if we can re-broadcast the segment.

Please be patient with us during this time. We are doing our best to correct the problem.

After Horton's report, Channel 19 issued another account of the problem:

We apologize that you missed the first segment of 60 Minutes tonight featuring a report titled, "The Prosecution of Don Siegelman."

NewsChannel 19 lost our program feed from CBS. Upon investigation, WHNT has learned that the CBS receiver that allows us to receive programming from CBS failed. WHNT engineers responded as quickly as possible to restore the feed at 6:12 p.m.

Our sincere apologies to our viewers across the Tennessee Valley.

The network re-aired the broadcast during their 10pm news.

The interview is available on the CBS website.

The White House has put pressure on CBS to kill the show, those close to the case say. Journalists covering the story have been attacked. The case's most prominent whistleblower, Dana Jill Simpson, recently testified to Congress, under oath, about Rove's involvement in politicizing the Bush Justice Department.

Of all the people that DO belong in jail, Karl Rove is far and away the leading candidate in my book.

It's Good to Be King

Talk about living in a bubble of delusion;

Bush Dismisses Iraq Recession: The War Has ‘Nothing To Do With The Economy’ »

This morning on NBC’s Today Show, President Bush denied that the there’s any link between the faltering U.S. economy and $10 billion a month being spent on the Iraq war. In fact, according to Bush, the war is actually helping the economy:

CURRY: You don’t agree with that? It has nothing do with the economy, the war — spending on the war?

BUSH: I don’t think so. I think actually the spending in the war might help with jobs…because we’re buying equipment, and people are working. I think this economy is down because we built too many houses and the economy’s adjusting.

snip
H/T Think Progress W/ video if you can stand it anymore, I can't.

Yep, everything is peachy keen cause I'm gettin' my war on and peoples is workin' ta make da bullets. EVAHBODY is workin' ta make da bullets, heh, and folks is BUYIN' da bullets too, heh, heh, heh.

Yep, his contractor buddies are rakin' it in while the rest of us watch as billions and billions of dollars get poured into a sand filled rat hole.

And the part about too many houses got built?
There's a knee slapper.His finance buddies went apeshit ripping people off until it got to the point where all of a sudden investors in Europe and Asia started getting stuck in the ass when all the fucking bad loans started defaulting and the greed started fucking with profits overseas and by golly, somebody better do something.
Yep, everything is hunky dory so get out there and spend yer way out of recession.
Nevermind that greasy greenback in yer hand ain't worth near what it was seven years ago, we got lots'a ink.
