The Guild 9-30-2002 Traitors to America

Posted on 09/30/2002 6:25:03 AM PDT by BigWaveBetty


Rep. Mike Thompson, D-California, left, and Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington, in Baghdad.


Former congressman David Bonior

"I think the president would mislead the American people." ~~ Rep. Jim McDermott, D-Washington

McDermott said these words while standing on Iraqi soil.

Contact these worthless scum and let them know what the majority of Americans think of their trip to Iraq.

McDermott's website
Thompson's website
Bonior
59 N. Walnut, Suite 305, Mt. Clemens, MI 48043-5677
(586) 469-3232 (not knowing if the email addy still works for Bonior, I called this number.
They still answer, "Congressman Bonior's office", I left a message.)

In case you're wondering where you've heard the name McDermott before, remember back to 1996.

Mr. McDermott on his way to Christmas shopping for his grandchildren, he and his wife just happened to intercept a phone conversation between Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House Speaker Newt Gingrich and others and then leaked the tape to the New York Times and other media.

I'll go check the poll, but the stats look great to me...here's the dims out, from babs truth site:

...a statement made by Ms. Streisand and/or her representatives...

As we've discussed before, they seem to need spokespersons, representatives, assistants, helpers, shoppers, alter egos, ad naseum. Dims - shake yourselves and take some responsibility - this is the only life you have. Live it.

Amen Brother!

More on Le Torch:

Beyond the public survey, several sources who spoke on condition of anonymity, said a private poll over the weekend was even worse. It showed a 20-point Forrester lead, they said.

WashPost

That might explain Le Torch's snuff out. :-)

What matters here is not whether Ganske can actually defeat Harkin in Iowa - he probably can't - but rather that in two different regions of the country at the same time, Democrats are looking sleazy. [snip]

Arugh! Unfortunately, the Ganske/Harking Tapegate thingy is winding down, and will soon be swept under the rug.

Bingo! The Dems WANT it to be just like Florida. To my dismay the editorial pages in NY/NJ are already sending signals to the pubbies not to try to keep a Dim off the ballot. It's only faiiiiiirrr to give the voters a "choice". It's the democratic thing to do.

So the Dims have already set their game plan. The new donkey will challenge Forrester to a debate IMMEDIATELY. When Forrester refuses (because the dim isn't a "candidate"), the Dims will say he's just scared. There's going to be a drumbeat of "fairness" and "democracy". And the media will echo it.

This is going to be Florida and "It's only sex" all wrapped up together. We've seen this from the Dims before: We must ignore that pesky law because we just never anticipated it would come back to bite us in the butt.

Buckle up, Freepers, and hang on to your keyboard....it's going to be a long month.

Also, hats off to the Alec Baldwin Freep...priceless! I hope Alec wonders "what did I ever to to attract PROTESTERS?"

This is from the "exclusive" interview with Costco News (I did not know that Costco was babs interviewer of choice.):

CC: Given the scope of your career, how did you choose which songs to include in the Essential collection?

BJS: Some were obvious, like "People" or "The Way We Were," and others were simply favorite songs of mine. The funny thing is I've never been all that aware of things like "the charts" or which records of mine did better than others.

It's great when it tops the charts or you hear it on the radio, but I must confess that after I make a record, it's often years before I'll ever play it again. Sometimes I'll hear an old record of mine and think, "Hey, that's not bad!"

As pubmom alluded - a superb talent now gone to fat and democrat. Sad.

I went to that US News link and checked out the poll. Kewl!

But then I noticed the Washington Whispers column and I was struck by the lead-in:

No coattails, just loose threads

He's very popular and raises more campaign green than any politician ever before, but even White House and GOP officials don't think President Bush has the jam to drag weak candidates to Washington on his coattails this fall. "The president," concedes Republican Party Chairman Marc Racicot, "doesn't believe that he has coattails." Worse: "We do not presume that, either." Democratic boss Terry McAuliffe cheers, "Bush has never had any coattails."

Does that sound familiar? Read it carefully. It sounds to me like a rerun of Bush's favorite trick....setting up low expectations! Watch to see if this theme keeps recurring. Smart like a fox, our Bushy.

"I remember an America," said Torricelli, "when a person asked for forgiveness, it was given."

As Jim Quinn observed on his radio show a few minutes ago, since when can a criminal just say, "Forgive me," and that's it? Why bother having prisons? Torch broke laws for years, he took payoffs/bribes/whatever you want to call them, and now he demands (not asks, demands) forgiveness by the people he's betrayed throughout his political career. What an idiot. What a Democrat.

Some of these jokes on Chevy Chase are great!

Page Six

WHEN Chevy Chase received the great honor of being roasted by the Friars Club Saturday night, none of his friends was there to see it.

Emcee Paul Shaffer and roasters Richard Belzer, Beverly D'Angelo, Al Franken and Laraine Newman all wondered aloud why such Chase pals as Steve Martin, Martin Short, Rodney Dangerfield and Christie Brinkley didn't show up at the New York Hilton.

"Because you've always been an arrogant bleep," Franken explained. "I don't like you Chevy, and none of us ever did."

Franken went on to discuss Chase's famous stay at the Betty Ford clinic, where Chase battled a supposed addiction to pain killers: "I remember the guy who used to deliver Chevy's back pills, a guy named Sunshine. He used to chop them into a fine powder that I guess Chevy used to rub on the affected area."

Franken also recalled the time when "Chevy and Laraine Newman once went in together on a kilo of back pills."

Shaffer went after Chase's chemical troubles as well, saying, "What happened to Chevy's career? I can answer that in three grams."

"The Late Show" bandleader then turned to Sally Jessy Raphael, who was sitting on the dais. "Nice facelift," he said. "You know, they actually have licensed doctors who do that sort of thing."

Stephen Colbert of "The Daily Show" described Chase as, "this shaved, pear-shaped husk; this comedy lamprey just sucking the joy out of everything it touches."

When Newman took the mike, she recounted meeting Chase in 1975: "He said to me, and I quote, 'You know the Holocaust never happened. It's a lie perpetrated by the Jews who run this country.' And then he sold me coke." She also recalled when, "Chevy announced he was leaving 'Saturday Night Live' to pursue a dream he had since he was a little boy: to make s- - - -y movies and the worst talk show in history. We knew he could do it."

After referring to Shaffer as "Dr. Phil with AIDS," comic Greg Fitzsimmons called Chase "Joe Piscopo with less-developed abs," and offered his insight into how Chase chooses his scripts. "The outgoing message on his answering machine says, 'Hi, it's Chevy. I'll do it.'

"Many have said you're a one-trick pony," Fitzsimmons added, "but I don't think you've come that far."

*********************************

They left out my favorite Fitzsimmons joke for Chevy....

Watching a Chevy Chase movie is like being abducted by aliens. You're missing two hours and your ass hurts.

Bent Alert! (from Birmingham, England)

Clinton backs culture bid Oct 1 2002

Former US president Bill Clinton has thrown his weight behind Birmingham's bid to become European Capital of Culture in 2008. Mr Clinton, who will stand alongside Tony Blair and address Labour's annual conference tomorrow, said he had been "bowled over" by the city during a visit in 1998.

The endorsement by such a high-profile figure is a huge and unexpected boost to the city's campaign. Mr Clinton said he grew to love Birmingham as an Oxford student, when he visited the city to play basketball. [Ha, ha, the latest in a long line of whoppers. Clinton as a b-ball player!]

And he was impressed by how it had transformed when he visited it again for the G8 Summit four years ago. "The first time I went to Birmingham was in the late 1960s to play basketball [and to troll for babes, willing or otherwise], when I was a student at Oxford," he said.

"I liked it then, but I was astonished at the G8 when I saw how beautiful it was. The buildings, the art, the use of the water - it is an extraordinary jewel of a city, and one that I think is not very well known outside the UK.

"So I think if the (Capital of Culture) designation came, firstly it would be well deserved and secondly it would give Birmingham some of the recognition around the world that I would like to see it get.

"I was just bowled over when I was there. It is quite wonderful. You should be proud." Stephen Hetherington, director of the Birmingham Capital of Culture bid, said: "A former US president on tour in Africa speaks out to back Birmingham's bid and that is fantastic." source.

What Clintoon is really whining: Tony! Like me! Please like me! You know you like me better than that cowboy Bush! The rest of the Euro-weenies like me! Why can't you be loyal? Like me dammit!

Correctamundo!! You'd think after almost two years of the dims having their rears handed to them, they'd be able to see it coming. LOL

Proves what we've always known, dems are dim! :-)

I believe you're correct. It must be killing x42 that Tony Blair "likes" Bush these days. "Tony! Don't you remember? I made you in my image, and you've gone behind my back and supported Shrub! What's up with that?"

How sweet it is! The nursing home honey's place of business is in Clinton Kentucky.

Two residents visit in the dining room at Tina Conner's nursing home, Birchtree Healthcare, in Clinton, Ky., Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2002. Only a dozen or so residents remain at the facility, one of just two nursing homes in Hickman County. Conner claims that Gov. Paul Patton (D) turned regulators loose on her nursing home in retaliation for her breaking off the relationship. She is suing Patton and state government, claiming sexual harassment, outrageous conduct and waste. (AP Photo/Daniel R. Patmore)

I had to add the (D) behind Patton's name. AP apparently doesn't think that's an important piece of information. LOL!

A comparison of the Antarctic ozone hole is seen in this composite of satellite data released by NASA September 30, 2002. Ozone is depicted as dark blue and magenta. The September 24 image(R) shows the hole actually split into 2 different holes, the first time this has been seen since NASA first started making satellite measurements. The September 24, 2001 image(L) shows a single ozone hole larger than the North American continent. NASA scientists report that higher Antarctic temperatures appear to have reduced the 2002 hole by about 40%. (NASA-Goddard SFC/Reuters)

Translation: We don't know what the hell we're talking about.

Good Morning Everyone!

I received a phone call from my daughter's godfather last night. His new wife has turned him in to a certified liberal. We got into a heated exchange last night about Iraq, and he spouted off the typical dem. lines of "letting the UN take care of it" and such. By the end of the conversation, I think he was a little less certain of his position. Once you argue facts with feelings (although I was very emotional last night about this), it's hard not to see the light. =)

BTW, DH and I had a great date on Saturday night. We ate Lebanese food, which although incredibly delicious, left my intestines in a conundrum. Time for some more pepto-bismol.
