Watching Scott McClellan this morning on the Today Show reminded me of a conversation I had at a cocktail party in Austin back when Bush was running against Ann Richards for his first term as Governor of Texas. The person I was speaking with was a member of Bush's "inner circle" at the time. I don't recall his name so I'll just call him Biff.

My friend, Pierce Runnels, was hosting the get together at his home. Pierce's father had gone to school with Bush at Yale and had been involved with Bush in the oil industry. Pierce was a spoiled rich kid who had a picture of himself with W on his living room wall (blech). All of us at the party were gay.

I know this seems trivial but I've noticed this for some time. Barack wears white shirts. He did it today on Wolf. He's done it on Leno and Letterman, at that Convention in 2004 and in most formal meetings.

I know his campaign reads DailyKos. So if you're reading this, no more white shirts! At least so much!

Repugnant Dirty Tricks in LA

Another election, another dirty trick by the Repugnant aka Republican Party.

Last night, State Rep. Don Cazayoux of New Roads polled 49,702 votes to defeat the right wing loon Republican Woody Jenkins of Baton Rouge, who got 46,741 votes, for the District 6 seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. This after Cazayoux defeated State Rep. Michael Jackson, an African-American, in the Democratic primary runoff last month.

Today we learn that yesterday, on election day, a number of homes in Baton Rouge’s predominantly black neighborhoods were phoned with a tape-recorded message asking black voters to teach white Democrats a lesson by staying home and not casting ballots. The ad signed off as "Friends of Michael Jackson."

I know, I know... what an ass Jackson is! But not so fast my friends!

We have a great chance of picking up a seat in the 6th that has been beet red for decades. As expected, the Republican is winning easily in the 1st.

These are special elections with Republicans Richard Baker resigning to be a lobbyist and Bobby Jindal resigning upon becoming governor.

"Don" Cazayoux is the Democrat and Loony Tune Louis "Woody" Jenkins is the Repug in the 6th.

In the 1st, Gilda Reed is the Dem and Steve Scalise is the Rep.

I have been reading and participating in the war of words between the Obama and Clinton factions on this site I long ago discovered and cherish. And I so greatly respect my fellow Kossacks so much so that I really cannot fathom why the Clinton folk do not see what we see.

And if you will bear with me (and if you need help falling asleep), I will take you on my long journey of how I fell in love with Obama after 32 years of losing. That's right folks. I have been on the losing side for 32 years. But not this time! This year, my guy will FINALLY win.

It seems someone, unidentified from which campaign (snark), has posted a youtube video which implies Barack Obama committed plagiarism. And today, the New York Times runs with a story claiming that parts of Obama's speeches, in which he fights back against Clinton's contention that he offers lots of inspiring words but no solutions, are similar to remarks given by Gov. Deval Patrick of Massachusetts during his 2006 campaign and references this video. http://www.nytimes.com/...

It's really getting comical. Each and every week, Hillary and her cohorts come out with excuses why she lost. It's never that she got outcampaigned or just flat out lost... there's always a reason. And she rides that reason. And the press picks up on it and it becomes the narrative.

Actually she's only on Excuse 7 but maybe you guys can help me come up with the next 3 excuses why she loses.

I'm trying to make a jpg from this pdf file so as to use it as my avatar on message boards. Go to this PDF file and you'll see Bush cowering in fear of a low hanging wire while Governor Blanco barely moves out the way. Quite funny. Can anyone turn this into a decent jpg?

According to the Washington Post story, Allen says he doesn't know what the word "Macaca" means. He actually wants us to believe that as he pointed to a person of color and used the French word for monkey, twice, that he doesn't know what it means.

Reached Monday evening, Allen said that the word had no derogatory meaning for him and that he was sorry. "I would never want to demean him as an individual. I do apologize if he's offended by that. That was no way the point." ... Asked what macaca means, Allen said: "I don't know what it means."

On Sunday, August 6, 2006, Joe, you gave a speech wherein you compared the treatment you were getting from the Ned Lamont campaign to the treatment Republicans gave Max Cleland when Cleland was compared to Osama Bin Laden in television ads:

Sadly, my opponent has done his best to distort my record, spending at least $4 million of his own money to mislead people into thinking that I am someone I am not. Not unlike what happened to Max Cleland four years ago.

That disturbed me Joe because what they did to Max Cleland should not be done to any good American. I think most decent human beings can agree with that.

I didn't see or hear anyone from Ned Lamont's campaign do that to you Joe. But I can assure you, if I did hear anyone do so, my faith in Lamont would be lost. Because decent people do not do that.

For those who can't quite grasp the idea of "checks and balances" and continue to believe that briefing 2 of 16 Senators on the Intelligence Committee is comporting with the law which clearly states the Intelligence Committee must be briefed:

--But until December, when the eavesdropping was revealed, all but the Republican chairman and the senior Democrat on the Intelligence Committee were left off the manifest.--http://www.nytimes.com/...

Meaning none but two knew of the NSA eavesdropping programs existence which is in violation of the 1947 National Security Act. Read More
