George Bush Senior Is Now A Liberal, Ha
Photo from CNN.com
Limbaugh, Gingrich and company won’t be celebrating this:
Former President George H.W. Bush stood up for his former judicial nominee Sonia Sotomayor Friday, telling CNN Anchor Robin Meade that GOP critics who called President Obama’s Supreme Court pick a racist were off-base, and unfair.
“I don’t know her that well but I think she’s had a distinguished record on the bench and she should be entitled to fair hearings. Not – [it's] like the senator John Cornyn said it,” he told CNN. “He may vote for it, he may not. But he’s been backing away from these…backing off from those radical statements to describe her, to attribute things to her that may or may not be true.
“And she was called by somebody a racist once. That’s not right. I mean that’s not fair. It doesn’t help the process. You’re out there name-calling. So let them decide who they want to vote for and get on with it.”
Soon, someone will call for casting him out of the Republican Party. Don’t think it won’t happen with how crazy some are out there.
But Bush Sr. already had his time. He could really care less if anybody criticizes him for this.
The Straight Jacket Award Winner Of the Day #2: This Chuckie is Crazier Than Doll Chuckie
Charles Krauthammer for those who don’t know him is one of the most arrogant, smug guys that you could probably ever meet. He always comes into the room thinking he is smarter than you, and that’s typical of conservative elites who end up humbling themselves when they are wrong.
Ironically today though, Krauthammer stunningly wasn’t wrong about his television home, the Fixed Propaganda Channel. Instead, he was right:
Charles Krauthammer on what Fox News Channel has achieved: “What Fox did is not just create a venue for alternative opinion. It created an alternate reality.
What arrogant Charles said is true. Fox has created an alternative reality. The problem however with what Krauthammer said, or the way he said it, as the feeling of being proud of what he and the network he is apart of at done. He champions a different reality, and celebrates a different alternative reality.
Yup, celebrating the lies and absolutely bizarre thinking that goes on with Fixed Propaganda as one of their networks best at doing such a thing. So, Chuckie Krauthammer, you today join your friend Gaffing Gaffney as a winner of
“The Straight Jacket Award.”
Terrible Reporting From Politico….It Shouldn’t Surprise You By Now
Stupid reporting from a usually bad reporter in Ben Smith
FBI agents visited the offices of the conservative Weekly Standard magazine yesterday after a shooting at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and told employees they’d found the magazine’s address
The magazine is about a mile north of the Holocaust Museum, and there’s no other indication that von Brunn had targeted it. Von Brunn’s published rants included attacks on “neocons,” and the Standard has been at the heart of the neoconservative movement.
The suggestion that the Standard may have been a target complicates any view of the racist shooter in contemporary left-right terms. Von Brunn’s white supremacist roots put him under the rubric of a “right-wing extremist,” but the substance of his views — which included everything from believing that President Bush may have been in on the September 11 attacks to denying that President Obama is an American citizen — are too far on the fringe to fit into conventional political classification
Yes, because he couldn’t stand neoconservatives, that eliminates this anti-government, anti-tax, anti-Semitic, anti- Christian, anti-minority man from being a right wing shooter.
Maybe the fact that neocons unequivocally support Israel 100% (or Zionist dominance in the Middle East) may have, you know, played maybe a tiny ounce in von Bunn’s possibly targeting the Weekly Standard, eh Mr. Smith?
But knowing that you one of the key figures in being a hack among hacks at Hackio, bad reporting is something you can’t shake at all.
And even worse is the fact that Smith didn’t have enough intelligence to report this:
But guess what? According to investigators, the address of the Washington Post was also found in von Brunn’s car. And I’d bet anybody $10 that the Post received a follow-up visit from investigators to see if the paper had received any threats recently.
So shouldn’t Politico launch the story that the Washington Post was “targeted” by von Brunn, since there’s just as much evidence to support that claim as there was when Politico announced, categorically, that the alleged killer had “targeted” the Weekly Standard?
Yes is the obvious answer for any journalism, sane person, or seeker of the truth to Eric’s hypothetical question.
Since Ben Smith still hasn’t done that yet, I guess he isn’t any one of those three times of people.
Breaking: Shooting Takes Place At Holocaust Museum in D.C.

Another stunning shooting has occurred that has exploded nationally, sadly.
Now it is being reported that the alleged shooter was shot himself at the Holocaust Museum, as the suspect walked in a rifle and shot a guard. Altering reports have ranged from two to three people have been shot.
Update 1: Okay, the third person is being reported as not getting shot, but injured by a broken glass.
Update 2: Now it is reported that the shooter was born in 1920. An old white male, born in 1920.
Updated 3: Further thread updates this shocking story. The shooter is an 89 year old man who has been linked to anti-government, anti-Semitism, anti-Christian, White Supremacist groups and ideology.
The Straight Jacket Award Of The Day For 6/12/09: Three Co-Winners! (Update, Make That 4 Winners!)
That’s right, the title says three winners and we are giving you three winners today.
The first one goes to Bush loving psychopath G.Gordon Liddy. This is what he posted on his Twitter account after the Holocaust Museum shooting went down:
Rev. Wright has gotten back in the news in a very bad way this week, but he is still miles away better than this nutcase (and no one in the media has talked about this outrageous tweet).
The second straight jacket recipient today is this idiot named Andrew Breitbart, as he, along with many other right wing nutcases say that James von Brunn was a “leftist.”
The stupidity in this thread has amazed you so far, hasn’t it?
And finally, putting the icing on top is our third winner today, good ol’ lying Joey boy!!!
All of these three men are fools like few others in the political world. And they share the distinction of being the first co-winners of
The Straight Jacket Award.
Update: And here is a late entrant as the fourth winner of the day, some special intellectual I’ve never heard of until now named S.E Cupp. I’ll just let the video speak for itself.
TWD’s Agenda For The Day: They Just Don’t Learn
I guess the more they lose, the more idiotic they act or think.
That most be the case with the Republican Party, as yesterday’s shameful action of partisanship by their House members for not casting a single veto for approval of the stimulus bill showed the Obama Administration that being nice to these people doesn’t mean a damn thing.
They probably knew that however, and just wanted to see how radical these people would still be despite the current disaster the SOP is in at the moment. And because of their unwillingness to act like grownups in a situation that begs for just that, they seem to already have placed themselves in the doghouse of the new cabinet in just the first month (via the great TomP at the Kos):
Pushing back against the unanimous House Republican vote against President Obama’s stimulus plan, the White House plans to release state-by-state job figures “so we can put a number on what folks voted for an against,” an administration aide said.
“It’s clear the Republicans who voted against the stimulus represent constituents who will be stunned to learn their member of Congress voted against [saving or] creating 4 million jobs,” the aide said.
From Clamnyc at the Kos, Here are some of the many “working class, immediate help for family” items the House SOP refused to vote for.
# An increase in the maximum benefit under the former food stamp program (now called the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program or SNAP);
# An expansion of broadband internet access to rural areas of America;
# Programs to improve infrastructure and develop rural communities;
# Improvements to the criminal justice system;
# funding for science and technology research;
# Funding for the Community Oriented Policing Services;
# Funding to repair, maintain and renovate the Department of Defense (DoD) facilities;
# Energy efficiency projects and modernization of heating/cooling and electrical systems at the DoD;
# Improving Army barracks;
# Energy related research and development (renewable energy programs and expansion of existing weatherization activites);
# Funding for the Army Corps of Engineers (remember the levees in New Orleans that weren’t funded?;
# Modernization of the nation’s electrical grid;
# Construction and repair of Federal facilities;
# Funding for clean water programs and water infrastructure projects;
# Capital improvements and maintenance for Forest Service and National Park Service, the Superfund program and wildland fire management;
# Funding for the Department of Health and Human Services;
# Funding for labor and employment training programs/Department of Labor;
# Renovations to elementary and secondary schools;
And that is probably half of the many things the lower to middle class families would have been denied if there was a Republican majority instead of a Democratic one in the House.
Thankfully that isn’t the case, and hopefully, this mindset from John Kerry about the SOP’s usual selfish actions will be the case:
“If they’re not going to vote for it, let’s go with a plan that we think is going to work.”
Why waste time with petty children when the lives of the American public is at stake?
The Agenda’s Pending Schedule will make its return today in the comments section. Peace.
12/18/08- TWD’s Agenda For The Day: Their Denial Continues
Photo from Think Progress
As many on the Rational Online News Network continue to focus on Obama’s pick of Rick Warren for the invocation at his inauguration still (including Obama himself), the agenda for a second consecutive day will focus on the The Denial Administration continuing their aspersion and shameful dishonesty:
The worst Vice President in history comments to the conservative Washington Times released today:
Cheney stridently defended the Bush administration’s torture policies, saying, “I feel very good about what we did. I think it was the right thing to do.” He added emphatically that he would “do exactly the same thing again.”
Most audaciously, Cheney specifically defended the morality of torture, suggesting that it would have been immoral for the United States to not torture:
“In my mind, the foremost obligation we had from a moral or an ethical standpoint was to the oath of office we took when we were sworn in, on January 20 of 2001, to protect and defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. And that’s what we’ve done,” he said. […]
“I think it would have been unethical or immoral for us not to do everything we could in order to protect the nation against further attacks like what happened on 9/11,” Mr. Cheney said.
Cheney insisted that the torture policies he helped craft were “directly responsible for the fact that we’ve been able to avoid or defeat further attacks against the homeland for 7 1/2 years.”
You have got to love his arrogance and ghastly attitude.
Not to certainly be outdone,the Queen of lies and denial is at it again today. And once again, just like Candy Crowley failed to do, CNN’s Zain Varajee didn’t even try to challenge her:
This morning, CNN aired an exit interview with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. During the interview, reporter Zain Verjee asked Rice if she “regretted her role in the Iraq war.” Rice responded by saying that she had no regrets about the war and is “absolutely so proud” of invading Iraq:
QUESTION: Do you regret your role in the Iraq war?
SECRETARY RICE: I absolutely am so proud that we liberated Iraq.
QUESTION: Really?
SECRETARY RICE: Absolutely. And I’m especially, as a political scientist, not as Secretary of State, not as National Security Advisor, but as somebody who knows that structurally it matters that a geostrategically important country like Iraq is not Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
And to see the visual proof that she said just that:I guess “really” is a challenge. Oh, silly me and my following real journalism to the script mentality. What the hell was I thinking, questioning a CNN reporter who posses only “really” to Rice’s disgusting attempts to justify the Administration’s illegalities.
And as Think Progress so brilliantly presents, take a look at all of the political science professor opposing the idea that Iraq was in America’s best interest. Quite lovely, isn’t it.
But but but but but, it seems that the denial has, OH MY GOODNESS, stopped!!!!
But now, after eight contentious years in the White House, Bush is admitting that he failed. During a discussion at the American Enterprise Institute today, Bush said that though he came into office “with the idea of changing the tone in Washington,” he “didn’t do a very good job of it.” Watch it:
Indeed, we will watch it:
Don’t worry though, especially with the form that both Cheney and Rice still are in, their wonderful narrations of how they view the last few years will continue to conflict heavily with actual reality.
They wouldn’t be dubbed the Denial Administration if that wasn’t going to be the case. The Agenda’s P.S. will be located in the comments section at 1:50 P.M.
Peace.
Deep.
The Sleep Time and Rise “n” Shine Thread for 6/11-12/09: 2009 Iranian Elections-Do Some Neo-Cons Want Ahmadinejad To Win Today?
Photo from Newscom/Sipa Press
Imagine if Lex Luthor secretly wanted Superman to be okay. Or that Red Sox fans wanted the Yankees to win just so that the American League can have bragging rights. Or that Bill O’Liely wanted Keith to continue to making him look like the liar he is each night.
You get all the analogies right now, because all three happening are totally unfathomable. And from pure common sense, you would think the same about American neo-conservatives (and some right wing extremists in Israel) wanting Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to win today in Tehran and throughout.
Unfathomable right? Well……….
They actually want Ahmadinejad to win it seems . Yup, you read right, they actually do.
Now for some readers, this may not come as a surprise at all. But the others including myself, when driving into the last days of the now neck and neck race between the controversial president and his fierce challenger reformist Hossein Mousavi, it is at first totally unexpected to see the people calling this man “a great Satan” over the years cheering for him as his political life is on the line.
M.J. Rosenberg’s post over at TPMCafe noticed this very unreported trend:
But, as I noted earlier, there is some evidence that the neocons are worried. They want Ahmadinejad in there because without him the Iran nuclear threat could fade and they would lose their justification for bombing Iran. In Yedioth Achronoth today (that is Israel’s #1 circulation newspaper) Soli Shahvar director of the Ezri Center for Iran and Persian Gulf Studies at the University of Haifa)writes that “Mousavi is bad for Israel” and that Israelis need to hope that Ahmadinejad wins. His reasoning: Mousavi’s moderation will weaken western resolve to confront Iran.
Then Rosenberg notes the New Republic’s owner not even worried about the man he has slammed repeatedly, and one of the more ultimate nuts unbelievably passive views on Iran .
The New Republic’s proprietor, Martin Peretz, is already writing that Ahmadinejad doesn’t matter anyway. He’s obviously scared that the crazed Holocaust denier will disappear.
Daniel Pipes, on the far right edge of neocondom, flatout says “I would vote for Ahmadinejad,” so reports Daniel Luban in Inter Press Service (IPS).
And Rosenberg highlights an even more concerning piece. Some Congressional figures want to give Ahmadinejad a boost here if the election goes into a run off
But Ahmadinejad has helpers in unexpected places: The US Congress. The Democratic House Leadership has put on the suspension calendar – meaning fast tracking a vote deemed to be uncontroversial – H.R. 1327, the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2009.
H.R. 1327, among other things, authorizes State and local governments to divest from Iran. As of now, at least ten States have enacted Iran divestment legislation, but most legal experts agree that without federal authorization such measures violate the Constitution.
Supported by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, proponents of the bill argue that additional sanctions on Iran increases US leverage over Iran. The bill has been portrayed as a measure to enhance President Obama’s diplomatic strategy.
But
Obama, however, doesn’t seem to agree – even though he himself sponsored a similar bill when he served in the Senate. Secretary of State Clinton told lawmakers earlier in May that “Until we have tested, within the time period set forth by the president, where we think this engagement is going, I am not sure that adding new unilateral sanctions is really that helpful.”
When AIPAC pushed hard for another sanctions legislation this spring, the White House pushed back hard. The White House prevailed, but the showdown revealed that the window for US-Iran diplomacy may not only get closed by the ticking nuclear clock, but also by pressure from Congress for new sanctions.
Wow, all I can say is wow. But then again, it isn’t really a surprise. We all are cognizant of AIPAC’s shady ways, and that will always continue I fear, overshadowing the good, pure folks at J-Street and throughout the country.
And it should all makes sense to those still in disbelief for them cheering for their enemy. Rosenebrg puts it perfectly
But one thing that becomes clear as the neocons pray for an Ahmadinejad victory: there is no limit to what these people will support or endorse in order to achieve their goal of a civilizational war with Muslims, absolutely nothing. Don’t think they are motivated by love of Israel (which is obviously better off with Ahmadinejad gone). They are motivated solely by hatred of Muslims. (See this hate piece by fringe neocon columnist Debbie Schlussel who says that even though the Holocaust museum killer is a white supremacist, the attack was the fault of the Muslims).
If they truly loved Israel, then they wouldn’t say stupid things like wanting Ahamdinejad to win or not saying it means anything if he isn’t in power anymore. It means a lot for the united States, Israel, and most importantly, because it is their election, Iran.
Update:It is morning currently in Iraq, and the tension is obviously deep at the moment. Josh has updated how nervous the incumbent is at this point:
But in his final television appearance, which I think was Wednesday, Presidnet Ahmadinejad accused his presidential rivals of conspiring with the Israelis to falsify graphs and documents to discredit him (presumably on his management of the economy).
Here’s Tevin. May tomorrow bring a better you, and a better me.
