My f*cking head...
As Bush and McBush slam Congress for doing nothing to combat rising gas prices, Exxon-Mobil posts an $11.68 billion dollar profit for the second quarter. An $11.68 billion dollar profit. For the second quarter. The largest profit by any company in history.

Working together to solve America's problems!
This is just too much.
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Naturally) has a sign in front of his office that reads: “This sign is in violation of Section 3.4.1 of the House Office Building Commission Hallway Policy and may be subject to removal.” It’s a protest against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s initiative to clear the hallways of placards and charts. The deadline for sign removal is Friday.Jeebus, how old are you, nine? Of all the fucking childish and irresponsible... For the love of God, assholes, snap out of it, you fucking losers. Christ. Go drill somewhere. Preferably your own heads.
What started as a “tongue-in-cheek” idea has turned into an impassioned stand for the right of lawmakers to express their dissent against the majority, according to a mind-numbingly stupid Issa spokesman, who was in the majority not all that long ago and might as well be now for all the obstructionism his party has been responsible for.
Bonus:
As Republicans posture about the do-nothing Congress, it's worth remembering that much would have gotten done had they not been in the way.
Amen.

International IOKIYARitudeness!!
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Bungholio) is shocked that the Chinese government spies on people without warrants, oversight, or probable cause. But when the Cheney administration menstruation does exactly same thing, Brownback thinks that’s fine, because when we do it, it's always the right way for the right reasons.
We don't put the hardware and software on hotels. If there is a targeted individual that seems to be a likely prospect of terrorists, they must go through the FISA court and ask for a court to determine that there is probable cause to be able to listen in on that information.He then added(slight paraphasing):
"Instead, we put the hardware and software at the telecom companies where we can more effectively monitor all communications, not just the communications from the hotels. Then, despite being against the law, we grant the telecoms retroactive immunity."Rule 1: America is never wrong
Rule 2: If America appears to be wrong, see Rule 1
There, fixed it.

From 'straight talk' to smear campaign
A feisty editorial in the St. Petersburg Times righteously slams the putrid, Rovian McCain campaign:
Virtually all candidates, including Obama, distort their opponent's record. But McCain has gone beyond reasonable bounds. The self-described "happy warrior'' in the 2000 presidential campaign has turned sour in 2008, and the candor and straight talk that once made him such an attractive candidate are rapidly disappearing.
Disappearing? They've gone, straight up Karl's poopchute. McBush is now a bagman for the most corrupt administration ever, who are using him to keep from being investigated and thrown into prison should the Dems take over the presidency and the majority this fall.
Update: Joe at AmericaBlog agrees. I can remove the tinfoil now. ☺

Either Way You Slice It.......
He was fucked without a kiss.
What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch.No one could have possibly anticipated that that!

The scum also rises
There's no better way to describe the hiring of Bush supporters for career jobs in the federal government. But that's been his M.O. all along, his pal Michael Brown at FEMA being a shining example of the practice. Nothing says professionalism more than handing out jobs like Cracker Jack prizes to completely unqualified people--or worse than unqualified, in the case of ol' Brownie.
I wonder what the prize would have been for a blow job (instead of everyday boring regular observance of the Führerprinzip)? EW, don't answer that.

Evangelicals tell McCain: 'don't pick Romney'
Already angry that the GOP candidate is closet liberal John McCain, the religious right puts their foot down, saying 'We don't trust that gay-loving baby-killer.' The other one.
Prominent evangelical leaders are warning McCain against picking flipflopping RINO Mitt Romney as his running mate, saying their flocks will abandon the republican ticket on election day if that happens."It will alienate the entire evangelical community -- 62 million self-professing evangelicals in this country, only half of them registered to vote, are going to stay home on election day and be absolutely bitter," a spokesman added, snivelling.
The Rev. Rob McCoy, who speaks at evangelical events across the country, told the Moonie Times, "I will vote for McCain unless he does one thing. If he puts Romney on the ticket as veep."
Waffles Romney, fudgepacker.

The Low-Road Express
A doozy of an editorial in the Islamocommiedefeatohomofascist America-hating NY Times slams John W McBush:
Mr. McCain used to pride himself on being above this ugly brand of politics, which killed his own 2000 presidential bid. But he clearly tossed his inhibitions aside earlier this month when he put day-to-day management of his campaign in the hands of one acolyte of Mr. Rove and gave top positions to two others. The résumés of the new team’s members included stints in Mr. Bush’s White House and in his 2004 re-election campaign, one of the most negative and divisive in memory.
Almost immediately, the McCain campaign was using Rove’s well-honed tactics. [...]
Like Bush, McCain confuses opposition to an unnecessary war with a lack of spine and an unwillingness to use force when the nation is truly in danger. Obviously, Mr. Obama is untested as a commander in chief and his trip was intended to reassure voters. But Mr. McCain is as untested in this area as Mr. Obama, and it is hard to imagine a worse role model than the one Mr. McCain seems to be adopting: President Bush.
Many voters are wondering whether a McCain presidency would be an extension of Bush’s two disastrous terms. If the way McCain is running his campaign these days is an indication, Americans don’t have to wait until next January for the answer to that one.
Really. After the major assreaming he received from Rove and company in the past, you'd think he would've given the blubbery shitbag a few well-placed kicks in the 'nads before tearing his goddamned head off and throwing him out the door. Instead he went grovelling to him. What a maverick.

GOP suffers another setback with felony indictment of scumbag
No, the other one. No, the other other one. No -- yeah, that one.
Just when it looked like things couldn't get much worse for republicans, they did.And the beauty part is its been all their fault. Because left to the spineless Dems nothing would've happened.
The indictment of corrupt rethug -- but I repeat myself -- Ted Stevens adds to his party's already bleak electoral prospects in November, and not simply because it could cost the GOP a Senate seat that should be safe.Which begs the question: wtf were the repukes thinking, to let this corrupt old crook keep it for so long? Did they think they were going to stay in power forever? The 'party of values and personal responsibility' my ass.
Stevens is the single most prominent advocate of oil drilling in protected areas, and charges that he took more than a quarter-million dollars worth of unreported gifts from an oil services contractor and its executives will play right into efforts to paint Republicans as a party captive to Big Oil.Duh.
He's received little support from Alaska's Republican governor and no comment yet from his own GOP leader in the Capitol.Good. But watch, he'll be pardoned by Il Ducebag before his slap-on-the-wrist can be administered.

McCain Invades Iran Himself
USS Nimitz - Presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain flew an F-18 Hornet into Iranian airspace today and dropped several 2,000 lb. bombs on what he thought were important military targets. The bombs were actually dropped into a cluster of camels in an otherwise abandoned stretch of desert. One camel was reportedly wounded. McCain was not fired upon by Iranian air defense forces, presumably because he was nowhere near a significant target, and he returned to the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier at approximately 2PM Eastern Standard Time. Oh gaaaawwwd, read the rest

Who Gives a Shit?
Bush to the Democrats..."Let's see you create some domestic bills with THIS on your shoulders!" At this point its pretty clear that he's just trying to fuck things up as much as possible for President Obama
It's not THEIR fault and never is, it's the economy, stupie!
The next president will inherit a record budget deficit of $482 billion, according to a new Bush administration estimate. A Bush administration official said the deficit was being driven to an all-time high by the sagging economy and the stimulus payments being made to 130 million households in an effort to keep the country from falling into a deep recession. A $482 billion deficit approaching billion would easily surpass the record deficit of $413 billion set in 2004.Land mines....... The vicious cycle. Republicunts ruin the economy by looting the treasury, Democrats have to raise taxes to fix it. Republicunts blame Democrats for raising taxes to win election, then ruin economy once they take office, Democrats have to raise taxes to fix it... lather, rinse, repeat. Clinton left with $128 billion surplus... Chimpenfurerher Von Stupie has posted a deficit in EACH of his 7 years as Appointed-by-the-Supreme-Court Decider.
Now, Obama takes over as Captain right after the ship has been torpedoed twice.
As George Carlin once said: "You don't take a shit, you leave a shit." Or a big ole stinky can of worms.

McCain flipflops on no-new-tax pledge
Senile old codger Jowly McGrumpypants confuses running for president with auditioning for the Olympic Juggling Team. Again.
After frequently promising not to raise taxes, the addlepated old drooler goes back on his word:
March 16th: "None!"
July 7th: "Sen. Obama will raise your taxes. I won't."
July 9th: "I may raise your taxes."
July 27th: "I'm going to raise your taxes, you damn kids!"
John McCain drew a sharp rebuke Monday from conservatives after he signaled an openness to a higher payroll tax for Social Security, contrary to previous vows not to raise taxes of any kind.
His comments drew a strong response Monday from the Club for Republican Growth, a Washington anti-tax-for-republicans group. McCain's comments, the group said in a letter to the disoriented old waffler, are "shocking because you have been adamant in your opposition to raising taxes under any circumstances."Later today: "I never said I was going to raise taxes."

Domestic Terrorism: More, Please
Nobody Could Have Anticipated THIS
A guy has lost his job and he’s pissed off royally. His unemployment ran out and his food stamps are almost gone. Somehow, he blames his misery on liberal social policies. Woa! Wonder where he got THAT idea?
Inside the house, officers found "Liberalism is a Mental Health Disorder" by radio talk show host Michael Savage, "Let Freedom Ring" by talk show host Sean Hannity, and "The O'Reilly Factor," by television talk show host Bill O'Reilly.It would not be too surprising to find that the guy spent most of his day tuned into the hate radio talkers. And THAT is the crux of the biscuit: too many knuckle dragging mouth breathers believe the shit that the Reich-Wingnut blowhards spew.

Keepin' us safer
In their ongoing efforts to do everything possible to ensure the safety and well-being of American citizens... oh, I'm sorry, I must have been dreaming. Let's start over: It was business as usual in the Bush misadministration, as the Bush/Gonzales "Justice" Department put party before country and passed over "an experienced counterterrorism prosecutor" just because his wife was a Democrat.
[Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Michael] Battle, [Deputy Director and Chief of Staff] Kelly, and Deputy Director Nowacki all told us that Goodling refused to allow the candidate to be detailed to EOUSA solely on the basis of his wife’s political party affiliation.
Unfuckingbelievable. Thank God these corrupt pieces of shit will be finally -- finally!! -- out of office soon.

It's the fault of the Intertubes
Another Rethug in trouble with the law? How can that? Sen. Ted "Bridge to Nowhere" Stevens has been indicted by a grand jury in Alaska on seven charges of corruption, etc.:
Republican Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska was indicted Tuesday on charges that he lied about receiving gifts worth more than $250,000 from an Alaska-based energy company on whose behalf he intervened in Washington.
Darth Cheney rubbed his fat slimey hands together with glee and grunted, "This is excellent news for the Republican Party! Now, the media will have to focus on our party instead of Hussein." Senator Jabba McSame could not be reached for comment, as he is still cleaning up the jars of applesauce he broke in a supermarket.The indictment says the home improvements provided by Veco and its chief executive officer, Bill Allen, a "personal friend of Stevens," included a new first floor, a new garage, a new first- and second-story wraparound deck, new plumbing and new wiring.
Allen gave Stevens a new 1999 Land Rover worth $44,000 in exchange for $5,000 and Stevens' 1964 Ford Mustang, which was worth less than $20,000 at the time, the indictment charged.

Just days after his hit-and-run with a helpless pedestrian, incontinent old geezer Bob Novak was admitted to a Boston hospital where he was diagnosed with a growth on his rectum.
In a written statement, Novak said: “On Sunday, July 27, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I have been admitted to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where doctors will soon begin appropriate treatment. Surely now I will be taken off the hook for plowing down that innocent bystander and driving off with him still firmly implanted in my front windshield.”

GOP senator rips McRove a new poopchute
Chuck Hagel: 'McCain treading on very thin ground,' sanity with his outrageous new ad painting Sen. Obama as a troop-hating Islamocommiedefeatohomofascist who hates our troops, America.
The Republican senator from Nebraska joined the Obama campaign in calling the accusation "wildly inappropriate," saying this weekend that the insane old coot is "treading on some very thin ground here when he impugns motives, and when we start to get into 'You're less patriotic than me, I'm more patriotic.'And its not just Chuck Hagel, the WaComPo reports:
"It's just not responsible to be saying things like that, again, if for no other reason than for the good of this country and the world," he added.
One GOP strategist with close ties to McCain's campaign said the new line of attack reflected the operation's "schizophrenic" nature. He said that tendency was also on display last week, as McCain spoke at length about media coverage of Obama rather than sticking with his plan to focus on the economy.Even perennial rethug cheerleader Joe Klein has put down his pompoms in disgust:
"They couldn't help themselves," the strategist said, adding that the ad over the hospital visit is "churlish and unlike McCain, and hardly will resonate with the swing voters who are going to decide this election," adding "They're doing it because the candidate, and the campaign, is not happy with where they are and they're lashing out."
This is the sort of thing you put on the air when:Ouch! LOL
1. You're desperate.
2. Your Middle East policy has been superseded by events and abandoned by your allies.
3. You apparently have nothing substantive to say about America's future role in the region and the world.

Dick Cheney hates our troops
Vice President Cheney's photo-op to frighten address propagandize to wounded combat veterans next month has been shitcanned because his security demands were "Draconian and unreasonable."
The jerry-rigged cyborg had planned to speak to the Disabled American Veterans at 8:30 a.m. at its August convention in Las Vegas. His staff insisted the sick vets be sequestered for two hours before Cheney's arrival and couldn't leave until he'd finished talking, officials confirmed, just in case one of the poor maimed bastards managed to wheel himself into a bathroom stall to grab a pea-shooter to pull on him.
Many of the vets are elderly and left pieces of themselves on foreign battlefields since World War II, and others were crippled by recent service in Iraq and Afghanistan. For health reasons, many can't be stuck in a room for hours, especially one with no bathrooms and with the snarling, dyspeptic vice president ready to rip somebody's goddamned head off.
"It was a huge imposition on our delegates," added a Veterans official. "They would've had to get up at 0h-dark-30 and try to get breakfast, shower and get their prosthetics on. What is he, insane?"
"You fucking pussies! During Vietnam I was... uhhh... mehhh... go fuck yourselves!"

Liberal Bias Bias
When even Mrs. Greenspan is calling bullshit on your amatuerish Rovian lying campaign ads, you need to realize you're fucked.
NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports that there was never a plan for Obama to take the press to Landstuhl, despite the claim by McCain folks and others. The plan was to go with his military aide, retired General Scott Gration. The Pentagon said Gration was off-limits because he had joined the campaign -- violating rules that it not be a political stop.Damn.....no amount of Dunkin' Donuts with sprinkles will get her invited to a barbecue now. Fucked without a kiss.
Obama had gone to see wounded troops in Iraq earlier in the week, without even confirming he'd been there. No press, no pictures. He has done the same when he goes to Walter Reed -- never any press.

Finally, there was the fact that the young mother McCain had an extended chat with about the high price of tomatoes and milk was not a random shopper, but an area resident funneled to the campaign by the local Republican Party. Even with the amusing [sic] mishaps, the entire event came off as canned, and McCain -- whose discomfort with the phoniness required by politics has always been evident -- spent most of his time shifting uncomfortably.
Well, his Depends® were probably full. From another must-read Top 10 Conservative Idiots.

"Barack Obama is very popular in the Middle East. I guess a lot of people over there saw the cover of the New Yorker." --Jay Leno
"John McCain was talking about this, and he said that the problem is that the border between Iraq and Afghanistan -- they share a common border, that's what he was saying. Mistakenly said that Iraq and Afghanistan have a common border, and I thought, well, no wonder we can't find Osama Bin Laden -- we've been searching an imaginary border." --David Letterman
"Let me ask you a more serious question. When you woke up this morning, did you feel a little colder, the country was a little sadder, a little lonelier, a little less hopeful? There's a reason for that [on screen: CNN telling viewers that Obama has left the country]. Don't take our hope away. We miss you. Barack Obama, the living embodiment of goodness and light, the future of human evolution." --Jon Stewart
"Yesterday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi referred to President Bush's time in office as 'a total failure.' Yeah, Bush defended himself saying, 'Oh, come on, I've hardly spent any time in my office.'" --Conan O'Brien

Mr Foreign Policy Expert: Bismarck! Lawnchairs! Niblicks!
The "straight-talkin' maverick" with years of experience under his belt* drools that Iraq was "the first major conflict since 9/11" -- forgetting all about the war in Czechoslo Afghanistan, where the 9/11 attackers were actually based.
*along with an onion.

GOP shitcans efforts to help weary Americans
Excuse me, who's to blame for high gas prices?
Fucked fact: the rethugs still had the stones to blame Democrats, for not going out right away and start drilling for more, I guess.
