He withdrew from the leadership contest of the Liberal Democrat Party last week he obviously knew that this exposure in the Sunday Newspapers was coming.

A terrible thing I do not know how a family can recover from this and cannot imagine what the wife if feeling at the moment especially if she still loves him.

His name is Oaten, here is link to the an article about it

I heard it on the radio.

Besides being moronic Timmy (he claimed that there were 48 senators on Celebrity Jeopardy) - his concept of fairness is 3 Liberals on one "conservative".

And Matalin is tired and clueless...her little schtick with hubby is stale.

[Mo1]

I don't know what he'll do

But I can guarantee you this ... if he denies Alito a seat in the USSC ... Conservatives across the country will haunt him

[Morgan in Denver]

Nor is this new. It's also talked about in the book Blackhawk Down. Same response to weight and comfort.

[cake_crumb]

Ah, thank you for posting those pics!

[Morgan in Denver]

Thanks, again. Amazing.

[Graymatter]

Ack!! He doesn't even look class president-ial.

[A.Hun]

He visited my area this past week and a local guy wrote this today...it gives good insight into his strategy.

"No party is entirely subject to what happens to any one individual. The party is much bigger than that. My task as acting leader is to secure a sense of unity and purpose."

Hmmmmm, nice soundbyte to smooth over a rather hideous situation. My sympathies to the pervert's wife and children.

[Seattle Conservative]

Welcome to FR! Looking forward to your comments and participation.

[Arrowhead1952]

The only way to end that sentence is, "followed by Ted Kennedy, the designated driver of liberal morality."

LOL.....

[samantha]

What I am not sure is their overall strategy. I know that they have their nutzi (as opposed to nazi) base to worry about. But on the other hand even some of them have Daughters and Son's that are having babies and are practically religious in following the Baby in the womb from conception to delivery. They cannot get away with telling Pregnant Women and their baby's Father that it is just a "blob of tissue", the ultrasound's are so vivid that they(Por-aborts)sound/look really foolish. There is an entire ever growing industry on everything having to do with babies, and even the most jaded "Valley Girls" can talk like they are Nurses when it comes to their babies gestation. The tide has long since turned and the Boxers and Kennedys are part of the over the hill gang. It is difficult to imagine why that these brain dead wrinkled up old dead wood democrats are still stuck on this except for the equally brain dead,wrinkled up, dead wood base.

[snugs]

Typical left wing spin I would say

[douglas-from-nyc]

Jake, you are spot on - let me offer you the following excerpt from Quoting from Albert Hourani’s A History of the Arab Peoples, on writings of Abd al- Rahman ibn Khaldun (1332-1406).

“He tried to explain the rise and fall of dynasties in a way which would serve as a touchstone by which the credibility of historical narratives might be judged. The simplest and earliest form of human society, he believed, was that of the people of steppes and mountains, growing crops or rearing livestock, and following leaders who had no organized power of coercion.
Such people had a certain natural goodness and energy, but could not by
themselves create stable governments, cities or high culture. For that to be possible, there had to be a ruler with exclusive authority, and such a one could establish himself only if he was to be able to create and dominate a group of followers possessing “assabiyya”, that is to say, a corporate spirit oriented towards obtaining and keeping power. This group could best be drawn from the energetic power of men of the steppe or mountain, it could be held together by the sense of common ancestry, whether real or fictitious, or by ties of dependence, and reinforced by common acceptance of a religion. A ruler with a strong and coherent group of followers could found a dynasty; when its rule was stable populous cities would grow up and in them there would be specialized crafts, luxurious ways of living and high culture. Every dynasty, however, bore in itself the seeds of its decline: it could be weakened by tyranny, extravagance, and the loss of qualities of command”

Now my comment, which mirrors your statements based on your direct experience with those fine young men,

One only needs to recall the words of Ecclesiastes, “there is nothing new under the Sun”, to be astounded that in the 14th Century Khaldum recognized what F.A. Hayek recognized in his 20th Century groundbreaking book Road to Serfdom, and its literary sequel The Constitution of Liberty.

If Khaldum recognized that the vast majority of Muslims of that era possessed a “certain natural goodness and energy”, can the NYT, and the liberal left explain to me why they believe so strongly that the Islamic faith is somehow forever destined to be at war with itself, with ruler after ruler establishing only new Caliphates that subjugate the majority.

It seems to this observer that what the many people of the Muslim world need is a modern day ally who recognizes in them the same qualities that Khaldum wrote about so long ago.

So you ask how it's done - #1, you are are smarter than you give yourself credit for, and #2, the answer is what we are doing right now in Iraq, despite honest mistakes,

There are no set times for any of the Sunday shows except for CNN's Late Edition. All the various network shows start at whatever time the local affiliate wants to run them. For that reason I never post the times.

Some shows, like Chris Matthews and the McLaughlin Group, are syndicated and not shown in all (actually, less than 50%) markets in the USA. I don't post these shows lineups.

"And frankly, I hear Al Gore make those kinds of comments I'm just reminded of how fortunate we are that he didn't get elected in 2000."

The Gorester talks about President Bush's wiretapping being illegal, but conveniently forgets that he wanted to have a chip installed in ALL PHONES.

Hello, Aglore? Your Clipper Chip Is Calling

Hello, Mr. Gore? Your Clipper Chip Is Calling

“A president who breaks the law is a threat to the very structure of our government”, declared an outraged Algore on Monday in regards to the liberal media and punditry driven story of President Bush ordering the NSA to “connect the dots” of terrorists and their handlers. So why the outrage over the breaking of law Algore? Certainly didn’t bother you much when your disgraced boss was undergoing impeachment for Nixonian charges.

Easy cheap shot though and not the point of this article.

It seems Algore’s memory on privacy and government interception of private communications is conveniently short and shall we say, incomplete.

In 1993 the Clinton Administration had decided that there was just too much communicating going out there that may or may not be susceptible to government interception. Their solution? Endorsing the mandatory installation of a little gadget known as the Clipper Chip.

Many listeners of G Gordon Liddy’s radio show will remember this little fiasco. The Clipper Chip was designed to provide secure methods of private and business conversations. Unless of course the people that wanted to listen were perceived as enemies of the state and one may wonder the administration itself.

You see, the Clipper Chip was designed by the government, the NSA in particular, and was widely expected to be adopted by all consumer electronics manufacturers. Who had the key? Why the NSA of course and their political masters.

Of course this wasn’t how it was advertised at the time. Keys to Clipper Chips would be “escrowed” or in layman’s terms, put away until needed to crack the device they needed to crack. This device would presumably go in all consumer electronics; computers, phones, fax machines, radio transmitters. In short, every single device used for electronic communications.

Just try and imagine the outrage if it was John Ashcroft and not Janet Reno’s Justice Department that released the following statement, “The Attorney General of the United States, or her representative, shall request manufacturers of communications hardware which incorporates encryption to install the U.S. government-developed key-escrow microcircuits in their products. The fact of law enforcement access to the escrowed keys will not be concealed from the American public.”

You think there was MSM outrage over this release? Hardly. In fact many talk radio shows of the day didn’t even touch the issue, the internet and bloggers were non-existent and it was left to electronics makers to tell the government where to step off.

On February 4, 1994 the following statement was released from Algore’s office on White House stationary; “Our policy is designed to provide better encryption to individuals and businesses while ensuring that the needs of law enforcement and national security are met.” It seems that privacy fears and questions about government overreaching in common carrier interception had no place in the Clinton White House.

This of course should come as no surprise. I just have to wonder if Algore is running around with a Clipper Chip in his cell phone, laptop or on his home or office fax machines and land line telephones.

I’m sure he’d like to be as law and order as he wanted the rest of us to be. So while Algore is out there railing about government privacy threats? Just remember it was his initiative in the Clinton Administration that would have left every single one of us at the whim of government intrusion and made electronic privacy impossible for all but the most technically adept in the population.

False outrage? You decide.

LOL

Has Sunday on FOX turned out to be an infomercial?

GOLF clubs on NFL payoff's day?

God help me.....

[samantha]

Yes that is true, he has gotten into so much trouble that has mostly been covered up,but the poor kid was only in Elementary School when he was struck and almost killed by a car. I know that they may have tried to do things to keep him under control, but he was caught drinking and smoking dope neither of which will help a still developing/recovering, damaged brain. I sincerely hope that they can find a way to help him before he really messes up, but they are not much good to themselves how can they help him?

[STARWISE]

Howdy, snugs ... GREAT find, anita. Cheney is definitely W's (and our) ace in the hole. Thank God for him and for this bold team.
