It's Just Plane Censorship
or
Screw Southwest Airlines

Okay, you put on your clothes, you get on the plane, you fly where you want to go.
Simple right?
Not if your t-shirt is one that criticizes his humpty-dumptedness and his handlers.
Lorrie Heasley found this out when she was thrown off a Southwest airlines plane for the horrible crime of wearing a t-shirt with Bushy/Rovey/ and Ricey with the phrase 'Meet the Fockers' or maybe 'Meet the Fuckers' (The newspaper article about the incident doesn't make it clear) but either way. "People" and by people I mean "overly sensitive morons" were offended by the shirt- and after first being told to cover it up- she was later told to take it off or get off the plane. Lorrie, being a clearly cool lady- told Southwest to focker themselves and got off the plane. Lawsuits are being filed.

Oh, and in other news, does anyone else find it remarkably convenient that there's a new "credibly sourced" threat against New York at the same time that half the Republicans in office are under investigation or indictment? I'm sure it's just ANOTHER one of those coicidences.
And speaking of under indictment- if this Fitzgerald guy doesn't indict Rove AND Libby he sucks. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that BOTH men popping up as sources for the story pretty well rules out the possibility that they didn't know they were outing a CIA agent- you have to be pretty fucking dim to believe that version of events. Man I hope they both go down. That would be an event worth having a couple of drinks about.

Bush loves Torture

Apparantly El Yutzo wants to veto a measure from John McCain to make it abundantly clear to everyone that the United States DOES NOT advocate torture.
Think about that for a minute.
El Presidente has vetoed exactly ZERO bills during his entire Presidency- he's threatened a few times (the highway bill comes to mind) but now, over this, he's willing to bust out his pen and have Karl help him write his name.
What a jerkass.
Did I mention McCain's amendment passed 90-9?

You Just Don't Get It.

Of all the misdirections and outright lies Screwbag told during his press conference (10/4) one pisses me off more than any other.

"We haven't built a new refinery since the 1970s."
and the related,
"It ought to be clear to everybody that this country needs to build more refining capacity to be able to deal with the issues of tight supply," he said.

OKAY WAIT JUST A GODDAMN MINUTE. WE??? THIS COUNTRY NEEDS TO BUILD???
The OIL COMPANIES haven't built any new refineries since the 70's!!! I need a new house- does that mean the US should build me a new house? Of course not- unless I'm a big ass company in which case Pigblossom thinks I should not only get a new house- but it should be a big giant new house paid for by the middle and lower classes- Jeebus knows he's not going to take the money from his rich buddies. Bastard.
The greedy bastards have sucked up every cent of profit for 30 years putting no money back into their companies except for exploration so they could claim more of the gold under the earth for themselves. The mere suggestion that my tax dollars should figure into the support of one of the most profitable endevours in American business makes me want to writher on the ground.
It's like putting Bill Gates on welfare.

Trojan Horse?

Okay, I take back my earlier ridicule. In retrospect it is quickly becoming apparant that Harriet Miers was yet another master move by the remarkably evil Karl Rove. Really, you gotta love the guy.
Whenever Bush talks about Miers he has that little kid with a secret look on his face as he insists that he "knows her heart." He had a similar look in in his eye when he talked about not having plans to attack Iraq. You can almost hear him thinking "wink wink nudge nudge"
Something makes me think that Stealth Conservative might be quite a bit of an understatement. I bet she's told him point blank that she'll do all kinds of nutty shit- not that either of them will admit it. Lawyer-client privilege.
If this is a Rove plot- and in this world turned upside down- nothing can ever be known for sure- then having the "base" express outrage at her nomination was a brilliant piece of political propaganda. If the winguts are angry- why on earth should we worry about her?
But think about it- this woman is (as of now) looking about 95% to be confirmed (I take back what I said about her joining the Bork Squad) and we know NOTHING about her- not really. And we won't either. We don't have a clue about John Roberts either- and he's already Chief Justice- that's 2 wildcards who's ideology we won't know until it's too late.
She went to a crappy law school, ran a lottery board- sat on a city council for one term- got into Shrub's pocket and now she's going into the Supreme Court. Instead of being a laughing stock she's got a good shot.
Rove- you truly are an evil genius- even if you end up in jail for the Plame thing you'll have succeeding in sucking up our country for the next 20 years at least- You fuckin' suck.

Flushing the Court- Even the Conservative are Rolling Their Eyes.

Okay, deep breath, no screaming.
Harriet Miers.
Never been a judge.
Bush's close personal friend.

David Frum- the President's old speechwriter and a guy who co-wrote a book with Richard Perle has already come out against Dimwit's sycophant- er I mean Supreme Court Nominee. He even admits he was the first to float her name- and it was a joke!!!!!

You can sum up this woman in one sentence (from Frum's Diary):
"She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry about that.
But come on.
Congratulations Harriet Miers- you're about to join the Judge Borks of the world as a rejected Supreme Court nominee. If Bush was half as smart as you think he was- he would've spared you this embarassment.

(Thanks to Tom Tommorow for pointing out the Frum Link)
