Why do Pat Tillman's parents hate America?
The Army lied when Pat Tillman died
Former NFL player Pat Tillman used as war propaganda by lying WH, says family: "The military let him down. The administration let him down. It was a sign of disrespect. The fact that they lied about it afterward is disgusting."

Dean defends imitation of America's Favorite Junkie
Hero/patriot Howard Dean, who last month did an impression of pasty, cystic asshat Rush Limbaugh that included the sound of someone snorting cocaine, told meaty "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert to #uck off this weekend when asked to explain himself.
"Rush Limbaugh has made a career of belittling other people and making jokes about President Clinton, about Mrs. Clinton and others," Mr. Dean said. "Frankly, my moral values are offended by some of the things I hear on programs like "Rush Limbaugh,' and we don't have to put up with that."
The vile pigboy, in his own words:
"Here is a Limbaugh joke: Everyone knows the Clintons have a cat. Socks is the White House cat. But did you know there is a White House dog?" And he puts up a picture of Chelsea Clinton.
"One of the things I want to do before I die is conduct the Homeless Olympics. [Events would include] the 10-meter Shopping Cart Relay, the Dumpster Dig, and the Hop, Skip and Trip."
Speculating on why a Mexican national won the New York marathon: "An immigration agent chased him for the last 10 miles."
"Kurt Cobain was, ladies and gentleman, I just - he was a worthless shred of human debris..."
The drugged-out donut-head and Daryn Kagan debaucher, looking like a pompous asstool.

Bad intelligence? Irony hath no shame
"My eyes have rolled so many times, my sockets are sore."
Even the most liberal-bashing, war-mongering, beef-eating American surely struggled to keep a straight face as the Bush administration expressed moral indignation about a Newsweek story that went belly-up on account of ... bad intelligence.
If anyone on God's green earth should understand that sometimes information is flawed, that one would be President George W. Bush.

Bush [mis]administration accused of hypocrisy over Newsweek, Koran allegations
Boy, there's a headline I never expected to see.
The US government, which has called Newsweek magazine to account over an article alleging US soldiers desecrated the Koran at Guantanamo Bay, should try and clean up its own act, some politicians and US commentators say.
Critics remind the US administration of how it used imprecise information itself to justify the war in Iraq, and point out what they see as unconvincing inquiries into other alleged misdeeds at Guantanamo and at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, where serious abuses of prisoners occurred last year.

Some have criticized the Bush administration for trying to make political hay with the retraction, and suggest the administration has no good reason to be acting so virtuous.
"The pot is calling the kettle black," said Pete Stark, a Democratic Representative from California.
"The administration is chastising Newsweek magazine for a story containing a fact that turned out to be false. This is the same administration that lied to the Congress, the United Nations and the American people by fabricating reasons to send us to war."
"For the White House and the Pentagon to come down on Newsweek for making a mistake is the height of hypocrisy," wrote Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen.
For its part, New York-based Human Rights Watch warned that the row over the discredited story was serving to overshadow genuine incidents of religious humiliation. {snip}
Use of anonymous sources -- called firmly into question now after the Newsweek article -- is, meanwhile, still a practice broadly used by the Bush administration -- when it plays to the administration's interests.
US officials call media conferences all the time, providing sources -- often high ranking officials -- with the proviso their names are not to be mentioned.
"It is offensive to see the Bush administration use this case for political purposes, and ludicrous for spokesmen for this White House and Defense Department to offer pious declarations about accountability, openness and concern for America's image abroad," the New York Times said in an editorial.

Santorum apologizes, sort of
Lessening the credibility of the senator
Senate spoogeboy Rick Santorum says he "meant no offense" by comparing Democrats to Adolf Hitler.
"Referencing Hitler was meant to dramatize the principle of an argument, not to characterize my Democratic colleagues," Santorum whined. "Yeah.... that's the ticket..."
Who the fuck bombed Paris, anyway?

W hich false report did more damage?
Scott McClellan may be White House press secretary, but he apparently hasn't been around the block enough times to hone his sense of irony. His response to the infamous "Newsweek episode" left him with enough egg on his face to bake up a respectable souffle.
Newsweek's blunder was embarrassing as well as deadly. But the reaction of the White House - as represented by McClellan - is breathtaking in its hypocrisy.
"The report had real consequences," McClellan was quoted as saying. "People have lost their lives. Our image abroad has been damaged. There are some who are opposed to the United States and what we stand for who have sought to exploit this allegation. It will take work to undo what can be undone."
If there were a Nobel Prize for unmigitaged gall, about the only competition McClellan would have would be his boss. The "consequences" of Newsweek's misinformation - about 15 dead people - are indeed tragic. But they pale in comparison to the "consequences" of the White House's misinformation. The fabricated weapons of mass destruction claims, which led to the invasion of Iraq, have killed more than 1,600 Americans and 200 or so allies, not to mention more than 100,000 innocent Iraqi citizens.
... McClellan and Rice apparently haven't been keeping up with current events. Thanks to the administration's pre-emptive war, with its accompanying abuse of prisoners and perceived tactics against citizens from ally countries like Italy, our reputation abroad is already in tatters. It's hard to fathom how a handful of careless journalists could damage it further. Polls have repeatedly shown the Bush administration is directly responsible for the erosion of America's status in the court of world opinion.
... Just because the source is wrong doesn't mean the substance is. There's always the possibility that some administrative mastermind is trying to cast doubt on the entire Guantanamo abuse story by exploiting a profit-driven media's tendency to jump the gun.

Revealed: how to save America
Evidently, we didn't go far enough flushing the Koran down the crapper - we should be flushing Jews, too.
While Jewish leaders have used WWII victimhood to maintain Israel at the great expense of US taxpayers year after year, drawing further ire towards Americans by Muslim radicals, simultaneously, ungrateful leftist anti-Christian Jews in the ACLU and other organizations have been tearing apart America for decades. Americans are being attacked economically and socially by the anti-American, anti-Christian politics and annual multi-billion dollar Jewish-only promotion by Jewish radicals.
As if the Democratic Party didn't have enough anti-Americans and anti-Christians, both Muslim radicals and Jewish radicals also jointly infest the Democratic Party.
To the remaining pro-Americans who haven't abandoned the Democratic Party, please immediately provide a mercy flush when you unclog the anything-goes Democratic melting pot.

Why do fretards hate America?
I'm not going to link to anything from RimJob's Home for Self-Abusing Troglodytes, but don't you think the more they keep harping on that Newsweek story, the longer it will stay in the news and further inflame Muslems?
#uck that! Another one of the traitorous lie-beral media lied!

US detainee Saddam's WMD

Overture, curtains, lights...
Bunnypants' Social Insecurity road show: scripted and well-rehearsed, with a hand-picked cast of mouthbreathing sycophants that tell him exactly what he wants to hear.
"You got any thoughts about Social Security?" Bush asked 22-year-old Christy Paavola, one of five younger workers who appeared on stage with him.
"Yes," Paavola replied. "I don't think it's going to be there when I retire, which is really scary."
"Got anything else you want to say?" Bush asked.
"I really like the idea of personal savings accounts," Paavola said.
"You did a heck of a job," Bush said. "You deserve an A."
"Yes," Paavola replied. "I don't think it's going to be there when I retire, which is really scary."
"Got anything else you want to say?" Bush asked.
"I really like the idea of personal savings accounts," Paavola said.
"You did a heck of a job," Bush said. "You deserve an A."
"Oooooooooohhh, you're like the bestest presnint evar!! You're doing such a fantastic job!! It's awesome! Squeal!"
The Smirking Moron, who completely blew Clinton's $230 billion + surplus, said he intended to continue reminding "youngsters" like Paavola that "they need to get involved in this issue because if the United States Congress does not act, we have saddled a young generation with an incredible burden."
"And that's why I'm talking about Social Security. And the debate has only just begun. But I believe the side of reform is going to prevail, because the American people now are beginning to realize we have a serious problem when it comes to Social Security. And that problem begins with people like me."- Squinty McStupid, 5/17/05.
Mmmm mmmm mmmmmm.

You forgot Poland!
What the hell are Rick Santorum and the rest of the repukes thinking, anyway?
Remember the furor (no pun intended) over the ad contest at MoveOn.org? A veritable shit-storm blew up in rightwingistan, and though the ad in question was immediately yanked, it is still a talking point for repukes to smear MoveOn and the "liberal media."
Just last night, reboob Terry Holt, guest-hosting on Crossfire, tried to Godwin the debate there:
HOLT: And a serious judge put under the microscope, his life ripped apart potentially, like the Judge Saad from Michigan, for example. But you know, MoveOn moved in. And it becomes a political issue. This is one of those 527s that we saw during the presidential campaign, tens of millions of dollars. At one point they compared President Bush To Adolph Hitler. This is...
BEGALA: No they did not. Someone put out an ad that MoveOn - took it down right away. MoveOn took it off.
BEGALA: No they did not. Someone put out an ad that MoveOn - took it down right away. MoveOn took it off.
It's ironic now that the beastiality-minded "Christian" Senator, who even in March castigated Robert Byrd for comparing the rethug consolidation of power to the Nazis doing that very same thing in the 1930s, yesterday compared the entire Senate Dem caucus to Adolf Hitler.
Think we'll see much of this in the news? Is the Pope Polish?

Key conservative Christians pull support from Bush's judicial nominee
LOL
The Squinting #uckwit's nomination of Priscilla Owen to the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals received a blow late yesterday when a prominent conservative Christian organization announced that it is pulling its support for the nominee on the grounds that she is a divorcée.

I can't help it - it's like watching a flaming car wreck.
Rich white conservative crank cares about the plight of the black man.
"I don't want to give any revisionist history here to Mr. Novak who now all of sudden decided to be one of the great civil - you would think he was Martin Luther King sitting here."- James Carville, after pasty, senile asshat Boob Novak kept parroting the reboob talking points on filibusters and "Democratic racist segregationist senators."
Fun fact: Senator Bill "the filibuster is unconstitutional" Frist filibustered a Clinton judicial nominee.
