That's it.

Game, set, match and over.

The fox has been hired to guard the henhouse in the infinite wisdom of DC's power brokers.

Dodd is a sellout.

The second coming is on its way and it isn't Jesus.

I love it when these drips have to face an international audience/journalists and spout their fairy tale world at the embarrassment to all of us while at the same time I am despicably enjoying and still savoring Inhofe's unpopularity and unknown status amongst those that were asking him questions in Denmark.

These douche bags may have an audience in the US but in Europe they can't get away with the world is flat and 6000 years old story line.

It was so refreshing to read about Inhofe huffing and puffing, being shown he is not the big shot he thinks he is.

His message despite the money, time and effort fell on deaf ears as it should in the US.

The community of the Daily Kos is robust with talent, humor, intelligence, yes, and a heavy dash of common sense, fortitude, commiseration and kinship.

It's a place of courage, pride and loyalty.

And in a loose sense of the term, powerful.

Drip, drip, drip comes the evidence...barely into the year we now are confirming what many of us already knew what is really going on in congress and the past administration.

Yet, even as the evidence is making it perfectly clear that there must be accountability in our government from the dirt up and the stinking mess uncovered that has been festering without oversight from anyone except those responsible for it smacks of the ripe contradiction we are witnessing now.

How often were the words of Pelosi, Reid, Waxman and Conyer taken to heed, to only find out it was only more lip service to placate the people then to really get anything accomplished even when the truth was staring them in the face?

We are outraged. We write letters, we make phone calls, we send faxes, we protest, we sign petitions, we blog, we want to be heard yet our words are falling on deaf ears and here's why.

Bold script is my emphasis after the fold

I don't write many diaries but I certainly do read loads of them and comment when I think I have something to contibute.

I cannot in good conscience stay silent any longer and felt an inconsolable need to put what I am thinking in writing.

How this whole torture situation is handled will be paramount to America's future.

The U.S. is obligated by a United Nations convention to prosecute Bush administration lawyers who allegedly drafted policies that approved the use of harsh interrogation tactics against terrorism suspects, the U.N.'s top anti-torture envoy said Friday.

Sorry, this isn't going to be long but I wanted to post the latest DSCC ad going out to hit McConnell upside the head.

This guy is one of those Goppers that really needs to be removed from his fixture in the senate.

He is a man who does nothing for his state or his country other than take in the goodies and bask in his power trip.

I'm sick of representatives like this and now is our time and we have the ability to get them out of Washington.

See the ad below the fold...

I love Kos (the site) and am so stoked (is that still an acceptable term?) this community exists.

I don't contribute much but I get a lot. A lot of insight from many of you whom have made a difference in my life...

So, thank you Kos community.

But what this is really about...

I've long admired Madonna for being outspoken and of course for her talent but she made her feelings for John McCain well known in London and I am loving it.

The woman slammed him hard during her "Sticky and Sweet" tour:

And I'm not proud of it. I wanted to be proven wrong.

I was tempted to come out with this straight away but thought to relish BO's amazing triumphant night before confronting the H resiliency issue was the order of the day.

Regardless of my elation, which does not yet feel complete and I know won't until H has conceded and endorsed BO, I will be posting updates throughout the day.

I'm not the least bit surprised by her speech or behavior although stupidly I did expect more from her, because I've known all along she wouldn't exit gracefully.

I keep wondering why more has not been made of HC's remarks in the US media. I spend time abroad where there is a noticeable difference on reaction and coverage of her military stance and many of my European friends have questioned me why the US media has not been discussing her words threatening Iran and her "umbrella" policy for the ME outlined in the last debate.

I've never written a diary but couldn't help myself since this was too funny not to get it out. Hope you all find it as amusing as I do.

Howard Wolfson was prepping a couple of doctors about what to say and not say during the conference call but didn't realize his mike was already open and everyone online could hear his coaching.

Caught in the act, as they so deservedly deserve to be. I only wish it happened more often.
