A majority is a terrible thing to waste. That’s not stopping congressional Democrats. When not trying to force a pullout from Iraq, their main effort has been chasing Bush-administration scandals that loom large only in their fevered imaginations....Awwww. Wehhhh. Gee. Where have I heard something like that before... hmmmm...
But Democrats can’t help themselves. They’ve held more than 600 oversight hearings so far, and these hearings are close to their only accomplishment.
Lieberman insists he is not actively considering joining the Republican Party. But he is keeping that possibility wide open as his mouth... errr, disenchantment grows with Democratic leaders. The main sticking points are their attempts to end the war in Iraq, their hesitation to take a harder line against Iran, and their refusal to join him on all fours in front of the Preznit.He might just as well have, anyway.
“I think either [Democrats] are, in my opinion, respectfully, naïve in thinking we can somehow defeat this enemy with talk, or they’re simply hesitant to use American power, including military power,” Lieberman said in a wide-ranging interview. "Diplomacy? Did we use diplomacy when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? No!"
Lieberman -- after implying Dems are pussy-assed America-hating deafeatosurrendermonkeys -- says he is annoyed by the mudslinging on Capitol Hill and Democrats’ unwillingness to kiss Bush's a... ahem, work with Preznit Bush. But his critics say he has contributed to that polarization by his rhetoric and refusal to compel the AWOL little fuckwit to find a new way forward in Iraq.
“I’m disappointed that I am in so small a minority among Senate Democrats in taking the position that I have, on my knees in front of our glorious leader's mighty wang,” Lieberman said.
The O’Reilly Factor plans an update on issues involving DailyKos website the story for Monday.
There are some disturbing images on the DailyKos depicting Sen. Joe Lieberman and others along with some very offensive language. We are asking for statements regarding this issue from each of the Democratic candidates planning to attend the YearlyKos convention.
The image attached is from an active posting. I think that most people would agree that this sort of thing has no place in mainstream political discourse.

Alberto Gonzales has appeared to lawmakers to be shielding uncomfortable facts about the Bush administration's conduct on sensitive matters. A series of misstatements and omissions has come to define his tenure at the helm of the Justice Department and is the central reason that lawmakers in both parties have been trying for months to push him out of his job.Cripes. Can this WaComPo reporter be any more of a snivelling pantywaist?
Yet controversy over Gonzales's candor about George W. Bush's conduct or policies has actually dogged him for more than a decade, since he worked for Bush in Texas...And still that magical vortex of suckitude called Congress confirmed this lying assclown as the nation's attorney general. It's fucking mindboggling.
Democrats are playing political games with national security and mongering phony scandal. It amounts to a program of harassment of the Bush Administration's efforts to defend us against attack by uncovering terror plots...Zzzzzzzzz.... Right. Here we go again. Isn't their logo that take-off of Rodin's famous statue sitting on the toilet? If not, it should be.
VIEWED from Iraq, where we just spent eight days meeting with American and Iraqi military and civilian personnel, the political debate in Washington is surreal. The Bush administration has over four years lost essentially all credibility. Yet now the administration’s critics, in part as a result, seem unaware of the significant changes taking place.Verifying astonishing signs of normalcy, significant progress and evidence that
Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration’s miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily “victory” but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with.

Oh, and the parliament took off for their August vacation today.
LIEberman and his Reich-Wing puppetmasters are reacting with typical masterbatory glee. There is absolutely no evidence to back up a rumour that the phone numbers of the Times stenographers are in the DC madam's little black book.
By the way, we invited White House officials and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee to defend Attorney General Gonzales. We had no takers.When the "loyal Bushies" have lost dumb fuck Bush tool Orin Hatch ... time is up. It's really bad when even the Cocktail Weenie Party people won't defend him. But can Chimpy's favorite chili-bean ride out the clock just like everybody else in this Mis-Administration? Calling Coach Dean Smith...it's time to go to the four corners offense.


Missing from Thursday's session of the Iraqi parliament were about half of the members, including the speaker, the former speaker and two former prime ministers.And in further evidence of amazing progress in a peaceful Indiana market, guerrillas detonated a massive car bomb in Central Baghdad that killed 25, wounded 75, and left rows of shops destroyed. Some 20 bodies were found in the streets of Baghdad on Thursday as multiple bombs ratify claims of astonishing signs of normalcy.
Also missing: a sense of urgency. Looks like the Iraqi government is following the supreme American model of democracy.

The White House labored on Friday to explain how apparently dueling testimony from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and FBI Director Robert Mueller actually was not at odds."It depends on what the meaning of "is" is," said WH spokesliar Tony Snow, adding there was "no controlling legal authority."
The apparent contradiction only compounded problems for Gonzales, who is losing support among members of both parties even as he retains that of Stupie McNumbhead.
The U.S. intelligence reports, heretofore secret, describe how Al Rajhi Bank has maintained accounts and accepted donations for Saudi charities that the U.S. and other nations have formally designated as fronts for al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.The
