Wanna have some fun? This morning the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 12-7 (with Specter and Grassley joining the majority) to find Karl Rove and Josh Bolten in criminal contempt of Congress. Now the vote will go to the full Senate, but not until after the new year. That’s great. But the fun part is reading the comments on the Politico thread. There are a lot of little brownshirts that read Politico.
Did anyone watch the Democratic debate? It put me to sleep.
Now Karl can flee to Paraguay and wait it out until W pardons him in 12/2008

Listen to this: Democrats acting like Democrats.
From MSNBC:
Obama’s position was not quoted. We have had seven years of repeated “tax breaks for the rich.” Time sell our stock and take profits.
That doesn’t sound like any fun at all. Not even as much fun as that “two girls one cup” video that was going around, and THAT was about as much fun as getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick.
I’ll tell you what’s fun: eating a whole bunch of pot brownies and watching “Blazing Saddles.” THAT’S fun.
I lost an hour of my life recently watching YouTube videos of peoples’ reactions to it. Yes, there’s something wrong with me.

That was pretty funny. Thanks for sharing.
I think I’ll pass on the original video, though. A couple of still shots were enough for me.
blazing saddles is pretty good. I loved Silver Streak as a kid. Watched it again last year and it wasn’t as good. Pot brownies might help. Maybe we could ask Hillary when she stopped eating pot brownies.
much as bill’s never inhaled, hillary’s never swallowed.

Probably not. But the question is, did Monica?
Jabbering, brain-dead haters. Fascinating.
Thanks, Boo!
In other news, I’m officially stunned that Billy Shaheen resigned as Clinton’s New Hampshire chairman. All he did was suggest that Barack Obama was a drug dealer.
Q: Why did the debate put you to sleep, Boo?
A: Because Kucinich wasn’t there so all you got to hear was the same ol’ boilerplate talking points.
could be. That and the fact that it was one big panderfest.
All of the debates are a snooze unfortunately. If this election season hadn’t started so damned early, then perhaps I wouldn’t be so sick of it all…

Congress failed an important test last week when it flubbed its latest effort to enact a new, stronger federal hate-crimes law. The measure would have given gays the same anti-bias protection enjoyed by blacks and Jews. Named for Matthew Shepard, a gay man beaten to death by bigots in Wyoming in 1998, it has been introduced in Congress every year since 1999. Each time, to America’s shame, it has fallen short.
The latest misfire, though, was one failure too far. In past years the Shepard bill, authored by Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy, has been blocked by conservatives who habitually oppose most civil rights measures, especially gay rights. But this year, the bill had enough votes to pass in both houses of Congress. It failed because the majority Democrats, shell-shocked from their repeated failures to outvote the Republican minority, concocted a complex strategy for ensuring victory — and ended up outmaneuvering themselves.
Judy tells us why Congress dropped the Matthew Shepard Act, what her next step will be, and how the 10-year anniversary of Matt’s murder will not pass quietly.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."These two are back to back:
As though Bubba’s blow job was one of the “serious problems” of the ’90’s.
And:
They should be HANGED. If you’re gonna advocate the summary execution of all your political opponents, at least try to do it grammatically.
The frightening thing is that there are so many people like this. The thought that each of their votes is enough to cancel out mine almost makes me wonder about the virtues of democracy.
This was my favorite:
If ever there was a better opportunity to reference ‘misunderestimated’, I can’t think of it.
