QDPSteve-

Actually, my political orientation is center-left- and I believe in capitalism with a safety net for the poor, not Stalinism-socially I’m libertarian- except for an abhorence for the unrelenting sex and violence in our culture-otherwise I like to live and let live.

BTW, I think the Gubernator is doing a grand job in California, would never persecute Mitt for his religion- as I respect Mormonism as any other legitemate religion, and I personally don’t care about politicians’ sex lives- as long as they don’t make hypocritical political points about the sex lives of others. I just don’t like incompetence, self-serving arrogance, corruption and chronic mendacity from our public servants. This group has abused their power, but I would not attack the people you mentioned. Thanks for all the inaccurate assumptions.

And after that, Kritter and her merry band of Stalinists will:

- Have Arnold Schwarzenegger deported for being Austrian
- Burn Mitt Romney at the stake for being a Mormon
- Hire a random maniac kidnap and cut off Rudy Giuliani’s genitals for having had adultery

…it’s the new, cheerful, victorious Left everyone! Enjoy!

DLS- Appetizer â€”- Gonzo

um-mmmm… That sounds GOOD! Can I make reservations now? That’s one meal I sure wouldn’t want to miss.

Well, I do agree with Sam that it is impossible to shame these folks into leaving on their own accord. They can just respond with the lame line about serving at the pleasure of the president until 2008 rolls around. We see that with Wolfie, Gonzo and even Rummy outstayed his welcome for quite a while. My question is what hold does the WH have over Republicans in Congress? Even tho Bush is a weak lame duck, they stick to him like glue.

> All they have to do is run out the clock

That’s the general strategy (powered by a confrontational attitude) for the rest of their time in DC.

Who’s next? Or does that depend on what new discoveries are made?

Neither Bush or Gonzales have anything to lose so why quit? Bush doesn’t give a damn about what people think, and Berto is off to a suh-weet high paying gig in the private sector after he’s done here. All they have to do is run out the clock on a bunch of folks who keep wondering when they will give up because of embarassment. The answer to that is never.

Another note of interest is the makeup of the Committee. All 9 Republicans voted to approve of Gonzo’s nomination, none of the 10 Democrats did- 8 voted against, 2 were not in the Senate at the time. Gonzo has spent his tax-payer paid time being coached by Fred Fielding and contacting the GOP members to shore up support. My guess is that he’ll get it- and the hearing will turn into another uberpartisan display of political theatre, where the public’s right to the truth and transparency in government is the ultimate victim. The Pubs will cling to the talking points of a partisan witchhunt, and the Dems will look hapless without the supporting e-mails to back up their suspicions of WH involvement.

Just kidding of course Snark: glad you’re back (your snark has become a bit less snarky, hasn’t it?).

Hey folks, listen up, â€œSnarky canâ€™t spell!â€?

In other news, the Dutch speak Dutch.

O.K. Snarky,

In truth… I DID mean to call you on your typo.

Hey folks, listen up, “Snarky can’t spell!”

Well, let me join SteveK in praising our local commie agitator for using “kerfluffle”.

By: SnarkyShark

SnarkyShark — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 15:12:03 +0000

I didâ€¦ It wasâ€¦ and, Thank you!

It seemed like the only word that was fluffy enough to describe the shallowness being exhibited by the press.

Not used to kind words, so I’m kind of feeling awkward here.

Couldn’t you call me commie agitator or something?:)

Anytime there is civil right to be destroyed, or some soviets style repression to be done, Orrin Hatch will be there.

I have never seen a man who hated freedom so much.

SnarkyShark,

Wonderful word *** KERFLUFFLE *** (kerfluffle not kerfluffal).

I’m not trying to play the ‘typo game’ with you but kerfluffle had such a pleasant ring to it… I had to look it up and see if it actually was a word and, if so, what it meant.

I did… It was… and, Thank you!

kerfluffle – “row, disturbance, c.1930, first in Canadian English, ult. from Scot. curfuffle, based on fuffle “to throw into disorder;” first element probably as in kersplash, etc. (see ker-).

ker- an unstressed syllable prefixed to onomatopoeic and other expressive words, usually forming adverbs or interjections: kerflop; kerplunk; ker-splosh.

SD You are correct about the lefties. We are at present making plans to move up the food chain- Gonzo is just the appetizer. Karl Rove could be considered the main course. In any case, the pressure will be relentless- Wolfie is also in our sights for the unrelated scandal at the World Bank. My advice is for the GOP in Congress to cut and run, because supporting their side will just make them look like fools. But we already know from the e-mail evidence that the DOJ has contacted members on the Justice Committee to get them to lob softball questions. I would expect members like Orrin Hatch and Jeff Sessions to play along. More to follow tomorrow at the weenie roast.

superdestroyer-

You are most correct about the media, sir.

However, congress is not the media, and this week they will be frying several different fishes.

The media I’m sure will be strictly distracted by yet another Paris or Brittany kerfluffal.

Which is fine, as it hastens the irrevocable slide into irrelevance.

What do I care about the sanctioned media when I can watch Gonzo get toasted live on the net on Cspan, or catch the highlights on U-Tube?
