In Bush and McCain's world, talking to enemies of the US is "appeasement;" most of us have seen this video, of course:

So now comes the announcement that the US hasreached a deal with North Korea for it to give up it's nuclear program:

For all you Hillary supporters thinking about voting for McCain this November, all I have to tell you is don't believe the hype.

While John McCain will pretend he respects Hillary to get the votes of her supporters, just look at the disgusting, sexist, misogynist "joke" he made about a teenage Chelsea Clinton in the 90's:

"Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly? Because her father is Janet Reno."

– Sen. John McCain, speaking to a Republican dinner, June 1998.

Just disgusting. This man is a sick misogynist who will humiliate a teenage girl and insult her mother on a national stage to score political points with a room full of Republicans.

Ok, Clintonistas- vote for this guy.

For a bonus, see the video of McCain laughing with a supporter who called Hillary a "bitch" after the flip.

We have seen Presiden't Bush's despicable smear calling Obama an appeaser because of his desire to talk with Iran.

Although commentators from both the left and right are already calling Bush out on his hypocricy because of his policy of talking to Syria and North Korea (for example, see the video of both Pat Buchanan and Harold Ford talking about this here: <iframe height="339" width="425" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp/24647139#24647139" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>,

no one is paying attention to the fact that if Obama was President in 2003, Hezbollah would never have been able to get the weapons it used to bludgeon Israel in the 2005 war.

Without Bush's invasion of Iraq, this weapons supply route is just not possible:

I did not support Edwards in the presidential primary, but I have always had great respect him as a person and a politician. Now that he is dropping out, I want to make it clear to whoever wins the Democratic primary (whoever wins that will likely win the general election also), that there is one cabinet appointment that is an absolute no-brainer:

The next Attorney General of the United States has to be John Edwards.

A friend of mine whose father, Larry Hanley, is the President of the Amalgamated Transit Union on Staten Island alerted me to this gem of a video from 2001 where he confronts then-Mayor Rudy about giving city subsidies to a private bus company, the Atlantic Express Bus Company, that coincidentally put Rudy's political advertisements on their busses.

The video is not special so much for the substance of the conversation but rather its revealing of Rudy's nasty personality.

Sometimes the answer to a problem is so obvious that no one sees it.

It's like not seeing the forest through the trees.

Well it's time for the Democratic leadership to put their money where their mouth is.

Have you ever read something that has made you wanna just tear your hair out and hurl explitaves at your computer screen?

I just did.

In Turnabout, Infant Deaths Climb in South

For decades, Mississippi and neighboring states with large black populations and expanses of enduring poverty made steady progress in reducing infant death. But, in what health experts call an ominous portent, progress has stalled and in recent years the death rate has risen in Mississippi and several other states....

There are many reasons behind this ominous trend, but one in particular jumed out at me:

In 2004, Gov. Haley Barbour came to office promising not to raise taxes and to cut Medicaid. Face-to-face meetings were required for annual re-enrollment in Medicaid and CHIP, the children’s health insurance program; locations and hours for enrollment changed, and documentation requirements became more stringent.

As a result, the number of non-elderly people, mainly children, covered by the Medicaid and CHIP programs declined by 54,000 in the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years.

As if we needed any more evidence how the war in Iraq is fucking up the entire region

Turkey's army chief said Thursday the military had launched several ''large scale'' offensives against rebels in the predominantly Kurdish southeast, and he asked the government for approval to launch an incursion into neighboring northern Iraq.

(This has already diaried been very well here, but it hasn't gotten enough sunlight)

I guess this should come as no surprise to those who remember the days of Amadou Diallo and Abner Louima, but Rudy has now taken the next step- supporting overt and unambiguous expressions of racism

Of course, he cloaks it in the language of federalism...

As if there was any remaining doubt that the GOP is the party that has recklessly compromised America's safety over the past 30 years in many ways ranging from training and funding al Qaeda in Afghanistan during the 80s, making terrible strategic decisions in the Lebanese Civil war, ignoring the evidence that might have caused the prevention of 9/11, recklessly wasting out military strength, interntional political capital, and soldier's lives on a war of choice against Iraq that has only given our enemies a new generation of recruits, and making the brilliant move of sending literally cruise-ships worth of cash to a war zone which of course, most certainly will not find its way into the hands of terrorists, we now see that America's enemies are smart enough to know that continuing to have the Republican party in power really is the best thing that can happen to them.

We've all heard the latest bullshit internal memos from Fox already.

Let's be on the lookout from any statements from the Iraqi insurgents, who must be thrilled at the prospect of a Dem-controlled congress

However there are 4 reasons why Democrats should strike fear into both the GOP sleaze machine and the Iraqi insurgents:

This is a response to some recent diaries on the recommended list, that to differing degrees, whitewash the human rights abuses that take place in Iran.

Let me be clear: I do not support military action against the government or people of Iran It just extremely annoys me when left-wing and otherwise well-meaning defenders of human rights try to gloss over human rights abuses of a regime that the Bush administration criticizes. While Bush certainly has no real concern for human rights (if he did, we would not be protecting Saudi Arabia, or might be doing somethign about Darfur) and when he criticizes countries for human rights it is clearly because he wants the oil underneath where those human rights abuses are taing place, it still doesn't mean that every country Bush criticizes is actually a perfectly good country that is just misunderstood or slandered by the conservative media.
