No Court-Martial Likely for Bush Critic

The case of a suspended Air Force officer who accused the Unelected Fraud of allowing the Sept. 11 attacks to happen to prop up his presidency has been resolved and military experts said on Thursday he would likely avoid a court-martial.

Lt. Colonel Steve Butler could face nonjudicial punishment such as a fine or a letter of reprimand for accusing Preznit Dumbass of knowing about the attacks but doing nothing to stop them, Air Force spokeswoman Wendy Varhegyi said. It was more likely Butler would receive the same treatment as two Marine majors who wrote criticisms of former President Bill Clinton. The two were given letters of reprimand and fined a month's pay.



Boo-f*cking-hoo, Barr

When the news finally broke -- because porn magnate Larry Flynt sent out his own press release -- that Rep. Bob Barr, R-Delusional., had filed a lawsuit in March against Bill Clinton, pundit James Carville and Flynt for $30 million, claiming "loss of reputation and emotional distress," the timing couldn't have been much more awkward for Barr. That very day, he was championing a bill that would cap damage awards for "pain and suffering" at $250,000.

Barr has quietly filed a suit against Clinton, Carville and Flynt for "participating in a common scheme and unlawful on-going conspiracy to attempt to intimidate, impede and/or retaliate against [Barr]" for his role as an impeachment manager in 1999. Behold: Bob Barr's vast left-wing conspiracy.

Barr's case is yet another bizarre coda to the impeachment saga. Among the documents submitted in the suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, was a section of The Flynt Report, the 1999 document by the Hustler publisher that shone a spotlight on the private lives of the House impeachment managers and other moralizing Republicans. The report calls Barr "a twice-divorced family values cheerleader ... who condoned an abortion, committed adultery and failed to tell the truth under oath" in a 1986 deposition.

Flynt's report was one of the blows struck in a tit-for-tat mud-wrestling match between investigators in the Office of the Independent Counsel and their congressional allies and Democratic attack dogs during the halcyon days of the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Democrats pointed to stories like the ones contained in the report and to Henry Hyde's extramarital affair to label Republican impeachment managers as hypocrites.




"Apparently sensing and fearing the public's declining interest in the war against terrorism, the president never seems to miss an opportunity to remind us that we are still in an undefined war against an unseen enemy hiding in an unknown location." - Juan Andrade at The Chicago Sun-Times.
