Dick Cheney Media Attention Frustrates Republicans
Commented Dec 02, 2009 at 08:48:11 in Politics
“Instead of being frustrated with media coverage of Cheney, the Republicans should go directly to the source and express their frustration to Cheney. I used to think of him as Darth Vader. Lately, he's more like The Red Queen who believes "at least six impossible things before breakfast."”

“You can be damn sure all of his sponsors who've been operating on the assumption that he's a squeaky family guy cares.
No one is ever going to look at Woods in the same way. His image has been tarnished for good.
And why are you bothering to read this thread at all if you don't care?”

Krugman: Deficit Hawks Trying To Scare People With Big, Out-Of-Context Numbers
Commented Dec 01, 2009 at 10:39:23 in Business
“Well said. Deficit hatin' rugged individualist Alaskans now get $1.84 for every $1.00 that they send to Washington. Given the serious needs of states like NY, IL, NJ, PA, and OH, why should they continue to subsidize "welfare states"?”

Perino: No Terrorist Attacks In America Under Bush (VIDEO)
Commented Nov 25, 2009 at 11:30:30 in Politics
“There's something more significant here than Perino's pathetic attempt at revisionist history.
She was widely regarded as a "know nothing" idiot who couldn't answer basic questions when she was Bush's Press Secretary. Why is she now being given a national platform from which to continue showing us that she's a "know nothing" idiot? It's the same lack of standards that allows television networks to permit Liz Cheney to present herself as some kind of foreign policy and military expert.”

Obama: Professed 9/11 Mastermind Will Be Convicted
Commented Nov 18, 2009 at 09:23:55 in Politics
“Godalmighty...what a quivering bunch of gutless jelly fish these right wing war mongers have turned out to be. If terrorists had hit Kansas or Alabama instead of NYC and Washington, they'd probably still be hiding in their basements. While I lost many friends and colleagues in the attacks on the WTC, I managed to escape both. I want to see these animals treated as the criminals they are and brought to justice in NYC.
These Republicans either don't know or have conveniently forgotten that NYC juries have already tried two terrorists who are now spending the rest of their miserable lives behind bars. They need to stop playing politics with terrorism. What is it about the American justice system that they're so terrified of? It works.”

“That's rich. Like you put New Yorkers at risk when you built the NYC Emergency Command Center on the 27th floor of a complex that had already been bombed by terrorists...or when you failed to untangle the mess generated by dual commands for the NYPD and NYFD.
New York juries have managed to put two terrorists behind bars for the rest of their lives. I don't know why Mayor Noun Verb 9/11 has so little confidence in our justice system and NYC's ability to protect itself (which has improved considerably since he left office).”

“I think it would be a step in the right direction for Fox, CNN and MSNBC to keep all political hacks and consultants off their "news" shows. It might open up some air time for actual news. Are we really "better informed" by hearing the latest partisan b.s. from Pat Buchanan or James Carville or any of the spinners who are regularly dispatched to simultaneously regurgitate the talking points of the day?”
