Month: October 2005

We can’t seem to thrive without it, most of us seem to spend our lives in some sort of quest of it, and living under the trickle down of the Bush Administration has driven a few of us nuts because of the total lack of it.  I speak of truth.

Many came forward to speak it about the Bush Administration. If something existed in their life though that wasn’t right up there with the claimed standards of the rightwingnutty double dog christy Christs it was jerked out of the gloam and slapped right under every photo of every single article written about them speaking the truth, or fed into the ticker tape as we watched their lips move in unison with it on television.  It has allowed the truths they speak to be shrugged off because those who oppose them are BETTER PEOPLE than the truth tellers.

Cindy Sheehan is luckily a person who was really boring.  She is Hetro and worked at the Health Department helping people and raised soldiers for her country who went to church.  Now she spends her life spreading Peace just like Jesus.  She is such a nice, decent, kind, thoughtful person she, she, she, she ought to be shot!  They have one hell of a time smearing her other than her divorce, and that seems to be caused by the death of her son so that isn’t any good either damn it!  Sometimes they claim that she can’t let go and move on and then they shut the hell up suddenly about that too because what baseball loving, apple pie baking, mother worth her salt just “gives up” on loving her American children forever and ever!  That damn woman is a thorn, AND THEN WALKS IN IAN FISHBACK!

The Referendum…

So the referendum is tomorrow- well, technically speaking, today.

Stephen F. Hayes has just published one of the most dishonest and misleading columns I have ever seen. It is ostensibly a comprehensive history of the Valerie Plame affair. In fact, it is a case study in the obfuscation and mendacity of the right-wing wurlitzer. It will undoubtedly become one of the most sourced resources of the wingnut blogosphere. So, let’s take this mutha apart.

Before we do, I want to make a concession to Hayes. Proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Iraq did not procure uranium from Niger does not prove that Iraq did not attempt to procure uranium from Niger, or from other African nations. And, the real question before the intelligence community was trying to ascertain Iraqi intentions, as well as Iraqi capabilities. Okay. Let’s move on.

Hayes begins:

I have been wondering about the Grand Jurors in the CIA Leak investigation. I mean, we constantly hear about Fitzgerald, but there are also 23 other people in that room with him as well. Are they sequestered? No. Each of them can go home at night and do whatever it is that they do. What if they read BooTrib or DailyKos or The Next Hoorah on occasion? What if they came across information related to the case they are involved in? Can they do anything about it?

Yes.

According to what I have read in the Handbook for Federal Grand Jurors, these Jurors have a considerable amount of power. See the bolded part of the snip from the Handbook:

For God’s sake, I knew this would happen as soon as the inflation numbers came out.  Some right wing noise machine jackass would claim there was no inflation because the core number was low, completely ignoring the issue of energy based inflation.  Well, someone has taken-up my challenge.  That person is none other than Larry “I just say what they tell me to say” Kudlow.  How anybody can sleep at night spewing the lies he does is completely beyond me.  However, somehow he does.  So, let’s look at his statements, shall we?
