Dirty Harry
Slate ^ | November 1, 2005 | John Dickerson

Posted on 11/01/2005 5:50:12 PM PST by Roscoe Karns

Reid was trying to thwart White House efforts to move past the Scooter Libby indictment. Yesterday, Bush had everyone talking about Alito. Today he unveiled a big program to prepare for a possible outbreak of avian flu. Reid wants to change the subject back. "The Libby indictment provides a window into what this is really about," he said on the floor of the Senate today in regular session, "how the administration manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions."

Like I said on Friday...the rat children can't deal with the fact that Fitzmas was very bad this year. They got a pair of socks instead of the hoped-for Playstation.

And they can't handle it.

Reid and the Dems remind me of a quote by Winston Churchill: "A fanatic is someone who can't change their mind, and won't change the subject."

Fitzmas turned out to be Fitadan and forced the 'Rats to continue their power fast.

C'mon, everyone. Where's your "compassion"? Dingy Harry is heartbroken. He has nothing. He serves a party that offers nothing. He's bitter, angry and frustrated. He's probably resorted to thumb-sucking. He might even be sleeping with a blanket. Let's give him a break.

NOT! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! (snort) BWAHAHAHAHA!

The gentlefolk who spent an amazing amount of their lives telling us about the Senate being the "saucer that cools" (blah blah blah) during the Clinton impeachment hearings threw a temper tantrum today because the two-year, politically driven investigation into what really happened when their churl, Valerie Plame's boy-toy, lied about his CIA employment didn't result in a witch hunt against Carl Rove or the "neocon conspiracy." When the little brats didn't get their way, they dragged the Senate out of the conservatory, right past the playpen, and into the pigpen. Reid and Schumer are petulant two year olds, and their true colors are finally showing through.

If they pull this stunt again, here's what I want to see: Republican Senators demanding closed door sessions to demand investigations into: Hillary Clinton's fundraising, Chuckie Schemer's DSCC's theft of Mike Steele's financial records, Kerry & Kennedy outing a REAL undercover CIA agent on the floor of a Senate hearing room, Chappaquidick, New Jersey governors and senators, and Barbara Boxer's existence. One a day between now and Christmas ought to do it.

I agree...its time to get tough and shut these little babies up...they want to waste more time and money on 5 year ago stuff...that the world was involved in...and I still think there are weapons of mass Destruction...in Iran..or maybe Syria..or even buried in the sands of Iraq...to just say there aren't any cause we haven't found them yet..is very scarey to me..

Seems to be the consensus of opinion that the Dems didn't get what they wanted in the Fitzgerald indictments, and want to go back to pushing "Bush lied".

I am absolutely convinced the donks are guilty of treason in the sense they are 'insider trading" on the information they have, and have crafted into a political weapon, but know the administration can not defend against for reasons of national security.

They keep flogging the WMD issue, and trying to give it legs, precisely because the White house can not tell the American people what it knows about Iraq without jeopardizing intellegence assets.

I am having fun watching the Democrats implode.How anyone can vote for these guys is beyond me. Isn't Nevada pretty much a Red state? What are the chances for a Republican to win Dirty Harry's seat next go around?

Dang! I'm about to 'do a Kerry'. I've always been so against euthanasia but after today I'm about to change my mind and do a 'flip-flop'.

These people need locking up and putting in a zoo.

The terrorists must have had a field day today if they had access to C-Span and saw the Dims juvenile antics, I was so outraged (still am ) it's amazing my monitor screen's still in one piece.

Boycott Vegas. We may not be able to punish him by not voting for him but we can punish those who do.

I was seriously thinking of going at Thanksgiving but I won't now.

Maybe it's time we mass snail-mailed all these idiotic dimwit senators. The fact that now they want to DELAY the Alito hearings makes me boiling mad. How is it that they think this is HELPFUL to our nation? The SCOTUS has a job to do. I think they are hoping to keep O'Connor on as long as possible to "swing" the upcoming last rulings to their favor.

But it's so wrong to deny Alito a timely confirmation process. The rats are going down and I will do all I can to make it happen, starting with writing to my senator Bill Nelson, Dimwit-FL.

Just a guess - this will tip it. Alito's in.

Not good. Nevada's a low-population state and most of its geographical area would be red on most maps. But the two counties that vote Marxist are also the most populous: Washoe (Reno) and Clark (Las Vegas).

Dingy Harry, from Searchlight (Clark County), is elected by the Californios who've migrated to LV and Reno, and the unions that support the entertainment/gaming industries. Demographically Nevada's just an extension of Los Angeles and San Francisco.
