why do you hate strong black women so much?
What does that have to do with this? We are talking about Condi. "She" is a sleestak. Possibly "female", we're not sure.

of note: cheney's remarks, while unbecoming, were intended to be private, not during congressional testimony. shall we recall kerry's rolling stone interview on the campaign trail where he remarked that w "****ed it all up"?

the house of lords would not stand for this jibber-jabbering tomfoolery hooliganism

Sounds more like rascalism to me.

I'm not outraged at anything from either side regarding proper echo room etiquette. I'm just making fun of someone who pretends to be and then writes editorials on the matter as if it's a one sided occurance.

W did fvck it all up, cheney probably did want Leahy to go fvck himself and rice-sized toof gap does not in fact have any kids


Also OJ did it.

Seriously, the Boxer comments were idiotic. Has any of Boxer's kids signed up for military service?

Before this gets too far off topic, I did want to comment how these Congressional sessions, while humorous in many ways, is an important part of the process of troop deployment and wars, which was conveniently ignored when Rumsfeld visited Congress just before the Iraqi invasion.

Wait, why were they so idiotic? She said up front that none of her kids would be affected. She then said Rice doesn't have any kids that would be affected. This is nothing new. We've heard politicians criticized many times for being callous about sending kids to die for our country, while shielding their own kids from battle. It's easier to be cavalier about the process of sending people off to die when you have no personal stake in it. That's all she was pointing out. Stinkle's little op-ed either didn't get it, or completely misrepresented it as a way of scoring political points.

That's why McCain wasn't and won't be president... the Repubs know he'll be hesitant to send 1000s of kids to their death.

John McCain? No, it's not going to be that...it'll be the fact that he doesn't want to put abortionists and atheists on crosses for the fourth of July (as far as I know...McCain has kowtowed to the religious right much more than I thought he ever would.)

wait, he won't crucify abortionist and atheists, but that qualifies him as bowing to the religious right?

I'm confused?

But yes, McCain is a bit of a coward for holding publically strong on his principles.

As an aside, I love the calls for decency in discourse coming from the right wing. They've spent the last six years calling anyone who doesn't agree with them a godless traitor (and while I gladly accept the former label, there are a lot of anti-war people who won't.)

I guess pointing out that Pelosi as a San Francisco liberal has no divorces, while asshats like Dennis Prager and Rush Limbaugh have multiple ones isn't civil discourse either...

I think it is idiotic for because it makes the debate personal, which is rude as well as a bad debate tactic.

Instead of hearing about the Bush adminstration getting grilled, now we are talking about one comment Boxer made. Good way to derail the meeting.

The answer to your first question and the rebuttal to your last statement is entailed in McCain's giving a graduation speech to Jerry Falwell's school, Liberty University. Not only did it signify that he would have to bow to the religious right at least a little, but it also showed that he will not hold strong on his principles.

See the whole Jerry Falwell/Liberty University policy...

McCain's realized that he can't become president without the religious right. I'm going to laugh my ass off if it comes down to McCain and Romney in the primary...do you vote for the guy who thought you were scum a few years ago, or the Mormon? Hahahaha....

Only because some republican a$$hat (probably intentionally for this reason) took the quote completely out of context. It is a personal statement, but it's one that is leveled at politicians every time there's a war, for the same reasons. She even pointed it at herself, in effect saying that she didn't want to be one of those politicians that sends kids off to war simply because she doesn't have to worry about her kids.

Anyway, did it really matter what she said? Did you read the whole article Stinkle linked to? The guy excoriated any Dem. that spoke up, because if they aren't with Bush, they are with the terrorists. It wouldn't have mattered one whit what she said, the repub. PR people would have twisted it to change the subject regardless.

To be honest, I scanned the first half only. I read the rest of it just now, and yeah, the editorial writer bashes every person who spoke against the war.

The article focus is obviously Boxer though, although I found this line:

The president deserves better.

Indeed, the least these critics can do is suggest an alternative that leads to success in Iraq rather than simply criticize.
The Post has always been reactionary (they had a sport writer bash the opening of Harvey Milk alternative high school for gays), and not suprisingly, its owned by Rupert Murdock, the owner of Fox.

You know what Flava Flav said about the NY Post don't you?
