... when Dan Walker thinks you're a scumbag.
A disgrace to the state
By Dan Walker

While I admittedly erred in my private life 10 years after serving as Illinois governor—and paid the price for my mistakes—I am too proud of my state and my unblemished service as governor to remain silent about the despicable conduct of Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Henry Kissinger: "Senator McCain is right. I would not recommend the next President of the United States engage in talks with Iran at the Presidential level. My views on this issue are entirely compatible with the views of my friend Senator John McCain. We do not agree on everything, but we do agree that any negotiations with Iran must be geared to reality."

Issue #1: Would you be less inclinded to vote for Barrack Hussein Obama if you knew that he has an illegitimate white baby?
McCain Sells His Soul: Hires Man Who Sunk His 2000 Campaign
By: Bill W. @ 11:00 AM - PDT
John McCain has claimed that he believes “there is a special place in hell” for Tucker Eskew and the others who were behind the push-poll that implanted the idea in S.C. voters’ minds in 2000 that he had fathered an illegitimate black child, but that sure didn’t stop him from hiring Eskew to help prepare Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Jake Tapper: McCain Hires GOP Operative Who Helped Smear Him in South Carolina in 2000
Former officials of Sen. John McCain’s 2000 campaign expressed shock and disbelief Monday to learn than the GOP presidential nominee had hired South Carolina political consultant Tucker Eskew.
Eskew, along with Warren Tompkins and Neal Rhodes, were key members of then-Gov. George W. Bush’s South Carolina team during the 2000 primaries. McCain and his team long held Bush, Tompkins, Rhodes and Eskew responsible for the various smears against McCain and his family in the Palmetto state during that contentious contest. […]
Asked if the McCain campaign would have a comment about hiring one of the South Carolina strategists the senator and his 2000 campaign team once held responsible for smears against him, McCain 2008 spokesman Brian Rogers emailed, “No.”
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise after McCain hired Rove’s protegé two months ago and began running the negative campaign he pledged not to. There’s apparently no depth of depravity that McCain won’t stoop to and no issue he won’t flip-flop on in an attempt to win this election.

"ETHICS" -- WHITE HOUSE SAYS SECRET PENTAGON PROPAGANDA SIMILAR TO WRITING FOR A 'LIBERAL BLOG': Earlier this month, the Pentagon released documents relating to the secret military analysts program first reported by the New York Times on April 20. The documents raise questions about White House involvement in the program, which it had previously denied. One e-mail from a Pentagon official expressed his hope to get the analysts "in with potus" -- President Bush -- an idea the writer said "was submitted to karl and company," suggesting involvement from Karl Rove. Yesterday, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel refused to discuss the White House's involvement in the program, but insisted that "it's not unusual for administration officials to brief people...just like I'm standing here answering your question." But the Pentagon program, unlike the daily, televised press briefings, were kept secret. "Participants were instructed not to quote their briefers directly or otherwise describe their contacts with the Pentagon," the Times reported. When a reporter pointed this out to Stanzel, he ducked the question. "You can talk to the Defense Department. It was their program," he said.

finally, some good news (cont'd)
Fox News Is in for a Very Rough 2008
"The point, instead, was... [t]o spell out that Fox News was nothing more than a Republican mouthpiece and that Democrats need not engage with the News Corp. giant."
Is that true? I hadn't noticed... shocking...

Bush & Co. crappin' on the troops again
Wounded soldiers asked to return signing bonuses
When Jordan Fox was serving in Iraq, his mother helped organize Operation Pittsburgh Pride, which sends thousands of care packages to U.S. troops from his hometown, which prompted a personal “thank you” from the White House. When Fox was seriously injured in Iraq, the president sent what appeared to be personal note, expressing his concerns to the Fox family.
But more recently, Fox received a different piece of correspondence from the Bush administration.
The U.S. Military is demanding that thousands of wounded service personnel give back signing bonuses because they are unable to serve out their commitments.
To get people to sign up, the military gives enlistment bonuses up to $30,000 in some cases.
Now men and women who have lost arms, legs, eyesight, hearing and can no longer serve are being ordered to pay some of that money back.
I watched the report from the CBS affiliate in Pittsburgh, and I kept thinking, “This can’t be right.” Apparently, it is.

in Wingnut World, anything is possible
Pat Robertson Endorses Rudy Giuliani
So, apparently the “values” of the “Values Voter” include infidelity, divorce, tolerance of homosexuality, cross-dressing, mob ties and bearing false witness. Cool.
Seems strange - maybe Pat-Rob likes what he sees in the strategy against uppity darkies:
Strategists for Rudy Giuliani are quietly preparing a significantly race-based campaign strategy to strengthen support among socially conservative white voters, in the South as well as in the North. […]
Giuliani’s eight years as New York’s chief executive exemplified a Northern adaptation of the GOP’s politically successful “Southern strategy” - the strategy playing on white resistance to and resentment of federal legislation passed in the 1960s mandating desegregation - resistance that produced a realignment in the South and fractured the Democratic loyalties of white working class voters in the urban North from 1968 to 2004.
It’s hard to know exactly what this strategy would look like in practice, but Tom Edsall’s report suggests Giuliani will appeal to white conservatives by emphasizing his conflicts with NYC’s African-American community. The idea, apparently, is to deflect attention from his positions on abortion, gays, guns, and immigration by pointing to race — the implicit message being: “How liberal can Giuliani be if he constantly fought with black people in New York?”
Now, will Rudy except the endorsement from a man who said we deserved to be attacked on 9/11?
JERRY FALWELL: And, I know that I’ll hear from them for this. But, throwing God out successfully with the help of the federal court system, throwing God out of the public square, out of the schools. The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way-all of them who have tried to secularize America - I point the finger in their face and say “you helped this happen."
PAT ROBERTSON: I totally concur. The problem is that we’ve adopted that agenda at the highest levels of our government. We’re responsible as a free society for what the top people do and the top people are the court system.
Round and round the wingnuts go, how shameless they will get nobody knows...

Bud Lite to Fans: Go Phokk Yourselves
MLB rips off fans who bought DRM videos
Allan Wood (a baseball megafan who has written a book about Babe Ruth) purchased over $280 worth of digital downloads of baseball games from Major League Baseball, who have just turned off their DRM server, leaving him with no way to watch his videos. MLB's position is that since these videos were "one time sales," and that means that Wood and everyone else who gave money to MLB is out of luck -- they'll never be able to watch their videos again,.
MLB shut down the DRM server because they've changed suppliers, and now they expect suckers to buy downloads of games in the new DRM format. Anyone who does this needs their head examined -- using DRM itself is contemptible enough, but using DRM this way is just plain criminal.
Just got off the phone with a MLB customer service supervisor.
"MLB no longer supports the DDS system" that it once used and so any CDs with downloaded games on them "are no good. They will not work with the current system."
Great. Just effing great. ... As I told the supervisor, this is right in line with how wrong-headed and stupid and ass backwards MLB does everything.
I was told there is absolutely nothing MLB can do about these lost games. Plus, they said my purchases were all "one-time sales" and thus "there are no refunds".

MLB posts record revenues
Major League Baseball will finish this year with just over $6 billion in revenue, according to Bob DuPuy, MLB's president and chief operating officer.
Baseball's sales have increased 50 percent from 2004 and have doubled since 2000, CNN reported. DuPuy said that the level of growth this year had surprised even him and Commissioner Bud Selig.
“We have seen a healthy increase in every one of our revenue streams," DuPuy said. "We saw about a $0.5 billion from sources that really didn't exist 10 years ago."
DuPuy told CNN he expects revenue growth in the single digit percentage range in 2008 and an even bigger jump in revenue in 2009.

Sen. Larry Craig won’t resign from the Senate while awaiting a judge’s ruling on his effort to get a guilty plea withdrawn in a restroom sex sting, a source said Wednesday. Sen. Larry Craig is seeking to overturn his guilty plea stemming from an airport bathroom sex sting.[..] Craig had said he would resign from the Senate if he could not get the guilty plea overturned by September 30. But Craig on Tuesday said he won’t resign until “legal determinations” are made.[..] A Republican source involved in discussions about the case said Craig has made it clear he wants to find a way to stay in office.
In related news, Craig voted against the SCHIP bill and poor chidren. Maybe some poor kid shoulda given "Wide Stance" a handjob? Come on, childrens, do you want health care, or not?
Even 'Crazy' Ted Stevens and Orrin Hatch voted for the bill. Hatch said, "It's difficult for me to understand how anyone wouldn't want to do this." The other "family-value" Republican senators who in reality hate poor kids, could care less if they were all dead, and would rather fund 45 days in Iraq instead (more dead people - YAY!):

There is no special interest with bags of ca$h they won't support.
QT Special:
News Item: "The Bush administration said Tuesday it will fight to keep meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease."
Blog Item: "I'm at a loss here . . ."
Blog Item: "What the - - - -?"
Sadly, predictably, much of the blogosphere does not grasp the concept of a president courageous enough to fight for our right to purchase meat that will kill us.
