Guess Bush is going to (a) spend our tax dollars on world-wide photo ops, (b) stay the hell away from the domestic campaign trail and (c) try pathetically to build some other legacy than war and economic depression and Katrina through the long long long expensive world tour described here:

It's a wrap...

Clearly, the selfish and extremely RICH Democratic consultants who are employed by both Clinton and Obama have succeeded in pouring enough poison in the candidates' ears that they are now investing OUR 100 million dollar contributions in damaging each other, and not McCain.

Kos, here's my suggestion to you for our post-loss future.

Ohh, my, once again, a darling of the right wing preaches and proselytizes and then goes home and touches the young.

http://www.sltrib.com/...

This hero of censorship and hatred of art...just wanted to touch little girls.

See, as long as you hate gay people, you are ALLOWED to touch little girls, seek sex in a bathroom and make porn movies.

John McCain. Rush Limbaugh. Newt Gingrich. They get TEN marriages between them. But gay families get none.

Who has the special rights?

In full disclosure, I have contributed to the John Edwards campaign, especially when Ann Coulter -- the MOST-RETURNED AND REMAINDERED author of 2007, look up the stats -- called him a faggot.

But I must ask this:

The repeated daily hijacking of dKos by supporters who recommend like it was an MSNBC online poll...what good is it doing?

I see what you are trying to tell me about yourselves and the horse race....

So there you have it...the sad end of a doomed political wannabee:

John McCain, war hero and would-be straight-talker, smeared by Karl Rove in 2000 as having a black baby out of wedlock, and having to leave a shining layer of spittle on the shoes of Duhhhbya to have a prayer (ha!) of running in 2008...but no! He's damaged goods and the new meat -- Ghouliani and Multiple-Choice Mitt, who never wore a uniform, will get the McCain spit-shine next.

BUT WAIT!!!!

There is redemption!!! Call Hillary Clinton a BITCH and the entire wingnut right will run to your side!

What's left? Running with Don Imus, of "nappy headed hoes" fame. There's the perfect woman-hating ticket, made of men who were so thoroughly beaten by lesser men that they can only turn to the ones lower on the totem pole to lash out their hate and frustration -- women and blacks.

Yeah, that's my diary for today!

Hm. Did we just get a buried lead in the Fox Nutwork's Cavuto report on the acquisition of the Wall Street Journal by THE NEW YORK POST?

(SNIP)

Former WSJ managing editor Norman Pearlstine told Cavuto, Murdoch "will invest in ways that may well surprise people.. I wouldn't be surprised if you saw more color in the paper than there has been in the past and I don't rule out the possibility of using the (printing) presses for a national edition of New York Post."

(SNIP)

Kossacks,

I've gone to the other side. Now that the media is "balancing" out the reporting of hate speech by one white man by attacking black music as a whole -- though it sells primarily to white people...

I'm going to get a faith-based research grant to prove that just the way RAP MUSIC is primarily responsible for crime -- even though, oddly, Republicans take credit for driving crime down??? -- MOTOWN and DISCO were the primary driving forces behind the much higher crime rates of the Sixties and Seventies.

Please folks, read this and click through to the news story referenced by John at C&L.

Aside from the US military who died on the day that McCain's Iraqi market photo op happened, when he diverted 100 service people and FIVE aircraft to defend him, Lindsey Graham and Mike Pence in his photo-op...

The next day after his hermetically-sealed armed-to-the-teeth little shopping stroll...snipers returned, and several people were abducted and killed.

And I do mean thickens...

Warning, this is borderline Not Safe For Work, but suffice it to say that this "little development" will be Mark Foley part two for the religious right, which was this morning laughing up its sleeve at Ann Coulter's injection (heh) of the word "faggot" into political discourse.

http://blogs.wsj.com/...

Raw Story headlined this but screwed up the headline.

The hed should be Karpinski calls out Lindsey Graham as a coward ...the real cowards of the war were the GOP congress who railroaded us in along with the Bush neo-cons.

This should get as much coverage as vapor-news pundits attacking Obama and Edwards and Pelosi.

Someone with a first hand stake in a controversy attacking a politician should get at least as much exposure as Bill Donohue.

Why is Obama having to explain whether he is black, or Pelosi bashed over a false story, and Lindsey Graham not hauled before the cameras when someone FROM ABU GHRAIB calls him a COWARD?

Are we at the point where only the pundits are dictating to the "news" departments?

Sorry, folks, but I WILL use my one diary to make sure all you Nielsen Kossacks out there tune into today's Olbermann Special comment.

Oh my God. This has got to be it. If we let the GOP get away with this racist radio ad without making sure every African-American voter knows what the GOP thinks of them, we deserve to lose forever...instead of the Republicans LOSING the black vote permanently.

This has got to put this election to bed...GOP racist ad against black men AND women...

THIS IS RUNNING IN 10 STATES...On Urban radio!

BLACK MAN #1: "If you make a little mistake with one of your 'hos,' you'll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked."

BLACK MAN #2: "That's too cold. I don't snuff my own seed."

BLACK MAN #1: "Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican."

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...

So pages say that FOLEY started hitting on pages AS SOON as the CONTRACT ON AMERICA 1994 Republicans came to Washington.

We must ask NEWT GINGRICH: Why did he let these things happen on HIS WATCH as speaker of the House??

Foley was IMMEDIATELY hitting on kids, and what did Newt say? Was the Clinton impeachment engineered as the distraction to the one OR MORE Republicans who were going after pages?

Newt, tell us! Then explain exactly when you started cheating on both your ex-wives with your future ex-wives.

MY BOTTOM LINE: Why do the morally bankrupt like Newt, OxyRush, Bill Bennett and Bernie Kerik get to be on TV and Radio criticize people whose shoes they aren't fir to shine, like John Kerry and Max Cleland?

Well, here's the other shoe dropping...

As the Republicans deny that this entire media bomb blitz was another kiss to Lieberman, Juan Cole's sources confirm that the UK authorities had to keep from telling the US about the investigation, in case -- as happened once again -- they went right to the press to demagogue it.

And please note in Cole's story...Bush and the GOP were RESPONSIBLE for the escape of one of the 2005 London subway bombers in a previous 2004 political leak.

Valerie Plame, every international investigation of terror, all these things are outed for political purposes by BushCheneyHalliburton.

Best commercial ever!!!

Here it is, Cindy, your next mission, should you decide to accept it...

Prince Harry is going to Iraq. Please, Cindy, next time you are on Capitol Hill, please leave Army sign-up sheets for every chickenhawk Congress"man" so that their children can stand with Prince Harry and your precious son Casey.

God Bless You, ma'am, Jesus Christ himself, and Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King smile down on your peaceful protest.

Umm...if you are reading this post, you have missed the first hour at least...

AND IT'S GOOD!!

Really, that's the only necessary reason for watching it.

I'm falling in love with Aidan Quinn...
and that cute, wise, bearded Jesus fella!

You better get on the phone to NBC and see if you can make them re-run it on Bravo or something.

Are ALL the Republicans CROOKS?

Fox News talking head and Giuliani consultancy co-founder Kerik proves just what kind of American he is, after boffing with Judith Regan in an apartment set aside for 9/11 heroes...and these are the guys Fox News puts on to question the patriotism of the Democratic Party?

Kerik took Fifth when questioned about firms
Wednesday, November 16, 2005

TRENTON - Former NYPD Commissioner Bernard Kerik invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination when questioned by New Jersey gaming officials about his relationship with two Clifton firms linked to organized crime, state authorities said Tuesday.

In addition, Kerik accepted more than $200,000 in renovations to a Bronx apartment he once owned, but paid the firms only $17,800 for the work, according to a complaint seeking revocation of the companies' licenses to work in state casinos.
