Good morning!

Need to read this later, but sitting in on GBLT panel at Netroots Nation. Probably should do something at Oxdown.

ADA is making marriage equality one of its top issues.

Man but the smell of Turdblossoms in the morning has a particularly offensive odor.

Smells like…shit.

Anybody seen Lady Jane yet? I don’t think I’d wanna get in Jane’s face right about now.

If she does rat Rove out that could clear the way for other people to muster up the courage to tell their own stories of what really happened and more evidence to be piled on.

Also the morning idiot and Mika were reporting today that Cheney has some harsh words for Bush now that some statute of limitations have expired. This is going to be interesting . . .

The more intriguing question for me is: will Harriet, also being in this up to her overly-eyelinered eyeballs, spill on the Turdblossom to save her own scrawny hind end? Or, more importantly, to deflect any tarnish from Dubya’s hiney?

Put my cash on Hariett, Gonzo and Rove leaving the country before they are called to question.

live blogging the session on marriage equality over at the Seminal. Anyone can join in.

During the discussions on Miers’ testifying before Congress, one of the sidebars was about W being so opposed was that he knew she would not lie….I guess he didn’t know many who caused him that fear.

Clicking on the eyeliner photo wasn’t a bright idea for me. Probably better before I’ve eaten. At least I don’t have to clean anything up.

Yay, Deb! Give Christy a big hug for us when you see her.
Does anyone else here feel like mom and dad have gone on vacation and left us Home Alone? I’ll go order the pizza.

Jane I don’t think has any problems with you so don’t worry. But yeah the airline delay I am quite sure she’s cranky.

Oh, man, Christy. The eyeliner link has her in that god-awful blue suit too. I love the way she splasters pins on her suit jacket willy-nilly too. A real class act.

Cripes I was wondering why the trolls were out in force yesterday. Didn’t see Norske around I felt like a lone billy goat on the bridge.

The thing that stands out to me about the Miers quotes is that they involve descriptors of her recollection of Turdblossom’s ‘emotional state of mind’. It carries a heightened degree of believability.

On one hand, you have Rove angling for the ‘do not recall which raindrop in the thunderstorm hit him between the eyes’, on the other, you have Miers showing that she has an imprinted memory of specifically what was going on and the emotional import of it.

Regardless of what happens, in a he said she said between Miers and Rove, I have to think Miers has initially put herself in a position of strength. Of course for Rove, he leaves room for being able to have selective spontaneous recall to better match Miers’ “superior memory”.

Since I first read about this scandal, I have been impressed with the professional way Capt. David C. Iglesias has handled himself. His conduct has been a tribute to both himself and to the legal profession. I wrote about Capt. Iglesias’ interview with Prof. Horton here.

I find it intriguing that Scott Jennings wanted Patrick Rogers to replace Capt. Iglesias as U.S. Attorney. Frankly, Mr. Rogers is not qualified to be an attorney, let alone be a United States Attorney. Because of the latest document dump, my posts on Mr. Rogers are again getting some attention, including from Reuters:

Hey Dem…was thinking about you….I think I need sinus beer. How are you?

Chicago style stuffed Mushroom,Spinach Whole Wheat crust please.

It’s your turn.

aaah, back to the old days of dreaming of the Rove frogmarch – so elusive yet so deserved.

Real good point High Points of Emotion suggest something you won’t forget. Ugh Ick I just thought of Rove Highly emotional snot running down his nose, eyes red, pale face turning purple.
Before the Lake I never got grossed out this much!

A real class act. That’s funny. It’s also amusing how some unattractive women think if they wear a lot of make up, we won’t notice. Like fat girls wearing mumus or bald guys wearing their hair long in the back.

Off to swim in the great capitalist cesspool.

All you pups at NN have a great time. Single malt drinkers have one for me.

Be good to yourselves, and all other living things.

Namaste

I think I handled it well:) Still a team takedown is always easier. I grant you the thread does get sidetracked then which on a Great thread is what the trolls want.

What do you want them to do? wear a sign?

Keeping track of all of the developments on the various investigations makes me feel pretty manic-depressive. Until Obama and Holder make it clear that the real culprits–Bush, Cheney, Addington, Yoo and the rest–will pay with real jail time, I have a hard time getting really excited about developments. But still, when we see things like this Miers-Rove pissing contest and the word this week that Cheney was pouting because little Georgie stopped listening to Uncle Dick in his second term, I start wondering if it really could happen…

Harriet did wear a lot of eye stuff.

Wouldn’t it funny if Dick said something that got right to Dub? However, he prefaced his remarks by talking about being beyond the statute of Limitations, I think. But he could “slip up”.

Sure the sign should say if you think this is attractive you not only had to much to drink you have a problem with drinking your beer googles are bifocals.

I have waited a long time to use that one thanks:)

Harriet made me loose my appetite, but you made it return.
Yummmmmm.
Bev, bring the beer. Party at my house. I have the day off. Picked a bunch of sweet peas last night, so I’ll make a nice salad.

Some are allegedly now being paid to disrupt lefty blogs. Best defense for that is to ignore ‘em, even the ones we’re so used to.

LOL, Please send me a sign…..it will surely get attention. Send it to me at Demi’s; we’re having beer and salad. I Can’t wait.

They can wear whatever they like. Just saying, no one’s fooling anyone else. There are plenty of large women who dress attractively. Some are even sexy as hell. That’s all I’m saying.

Keeping track of all of the developments on the various investigations makes me feel pretty manic-depressive.

Think of it like Marathon training months of effort. Plus a run or walk is good for net junkies.

There’s a good story, if it can be documented.

sonsabitches…

Point being, I guess, how hard it is among us to accept ourselves as we are…who knows, I guess.

Party at Demi’s? I’ll bring the Klondike bars.

It was mentioned here at the Lake. Somebody was at one of the reichwingsites and there was the recruiting notice.

Don’t know Demi’s address I’ve been meaning to hit California once the condo sells. Still Harriet is a heavy drinkers nightmare.

Which was also part of the tragedy of Michael Jackson…Sorry, got carried away.

Heather Wilson, who still plans to run for NM Governor, pretends that b/c she started the e-mail chain WRT Iglesias by sending her complaints to Scott Horton, her hands are clean.

Hee Hee. Like we can’t figure it out.

Spilling on Rove or Chaney could be a death wish…’Chaney death squads’ (the original death panel). Who decides life or death?

Gotta get outta here but I’ll see if I can find the thread it was first mentioned on during the day.

That would be because? As in super-prim?

I never even noticed she was large the frosting/make up always took my attention she looked sugar free/artificial?

I’ll kick in for the Mexican food and Pizza.

Whomever has the biggest lawyer fund wins that one, I’m afraid. What kind of assets, credit capacity and ability to raise more cash does Miers have? It might all come down to how bad of a financial beating can she stand before she rolls. If she does turn on The Turd, we’d be talking about pay-per-view level entertainment. I’ll bring the popcorn.

I’d like to make that party, but have to stick around here. Tonight we’re going out for a nice dinner on the last night before we take our oldest daughter off to college tomorrow. Big changes…

Yes, you’re right. I some times say we all need metaphorical full length mirrors.

I has been the rumor for years Al Gore won that award the Huff post was deluged by trolls at 4 am. Pages of battle after that a blog with Mods sounded good.

I’ll bring the habaneros. They’re just starting to turn bright orange. Get the fire extinguishers.

Geez. One of the top Prop 8 financial supporters is now getting a divorce from his wife of 43 years.

She is serious about running? She knows she is in a Hispanic state and we are real pissed at the GOP now getting a Hispanic U.S DA fired is not going to help her.

This is my favorite site in the whole world. I could be even more proud of it if we were above trashing personal appearance, especially older women.

Since it’s a virtual party, you can join us and still be home for your celebration tonight. Congratulations Dad! Ya done good. But, who’s going to cook for her now?

Jim, that is a BIG event. She must be so excited, while you and your wife are kinda weepy?

We should all sign up…plunder their cash box and run. I wonder how they document what the recruits have done?

He’s probably found true love with Ted Haggard.

Neither Rove or Miers (or other Bushies, like Yoo, Bybee, etc.) have had trouble getting prestigious, well-paying jobs since they left the Bush Administration. However, it took Gonzales nearly 2 full years to even land a job and, notably, it’s not as a lawyer but is a part-time gig at Texas Tech teaching a political science class. And when compared to what other former Bushies are making these days, his $100,000 annual salary is actually quite paltry.

Gonzales has the most incentive, from a financial standpoint, to turn on his former cronies, so he was given the Texas Tech ‘job’ to continue buying his silence. With what he knows, the Bushies are getting off cheap, cheap, cheap and Gonzales, yet again, demonstrates his unbelievable incompetence.

Not really weepy (yet). She’s made major strides in maturity this summer. That shows us that she is thinking seriously about being on her own and getting ready for it. That’s a huge reward for us, and we feel she is ready for the challenges ahead. (Plus, the whole family is now using Skype, so we’ll chat a lot…)

Elizabeth [Manchester] petitioned the court to guarantee that she have sole use of the La Jolla residence … and that he restore the $100,000 so she can meet her monthly expenses of $131,625. These include nearly $20,000 on clothing and jewelry, $7,000 in electric bills, $1,700 in groceries, $4,901 in household supplies, tuition at three private schools for some of the couple’s 10 grand children, $7,500 in salary for the full-time groundskeeper and housekeeper, $1,200 in membership dues for the La Jolla Country Club and money toward the hundreds of thousands of dollars in travel expenses the couple was accustomed to spending.

And the tea baggers are worried about us taxing the rich?

Think he will turn not since Uncle Tom Clarence have I see a dark person sell out so cheap.

Congratulations….an exciting time. College, which I loved, was really my step to a whole new world, including the independence thing. Good luck to all.

I can’t imagine that he’s so stupid that a mere $100G’s would buy his silence. Well…yes I can, actually, but still…

Crush with Eyeliner REM

But, But, But, it was Armitage again, yeah, that’s the ticket, it was uh, Dick…the very same guy who said he outed Plame before flying over to the UK to be knighted by the Queen for falling on his sword.

http://www.muckety.com/Armitag…..92.muckety

Where’s she going?

Now, that Is rich. Pun intended.

Isn’t his story that he made it out of a TX barrio to the Ivy League…..I think I recall..Not stupid, probably, but very tragic.

Hey Christy,

Thanks so much for this post. We all are hoping for the HM spill.

I am so sad I ended up with a conflict this week and cannot attend NN. I so wanted to meet you and deliver greetings from my little peanut in the form of, “Thanks for Muppet Fridays,” from him and to add my thanks for all you do here at the Lake.

Take care.

She also alleges that Doug received an $8.2-million tax refund check from the IRS that was made out to both of them, and that Doug deposited the money and refused to split it with her.

Was his Prop 8 cash tax deducible?

I should correct it to say Heather Wilson sent the e-mail to Scott Jennings.

The northern part of NM is very Hispanic, but we didn’t elect Rs forever in NM because of that fact. There is the conservative southern and rural part of the state, and ABQ has a lot of defense industry money.

Heather is not strong even in the south however. Hers is an uphill battle against Diane Denish, the current (and popular) Lt. Gov. of the state. Diane keeps her distance from the patron-style crony politics of Bill R, who has done some good things as a Dem, despite his trad-style.

Auburn. About a 5 hour drive for us.

Cool Heather has a good challenger it seems.

That’s where we took raven for his cancer treatment. I work with a bunch of Auburn grads and they all love it!

Gonzales’ stupidity does pose a danger to the Bushies because he knows where the bodies are buried, so to speak. The danger posed by his stupidity is certainly magnified when his incompetence and dishonesty are considered and should be worth far more than a $100,000 annual salary. Assuming he stays quiet, the Bushies got off cheap but Gonzales just got punked.

Auburn has a great vet school. My vet is a grad.

Yeah, I think Auburn may have reciprocal agreements with a lot of the colleges in the southeast. IIRC, most of the vets in my hometown went to Auburn for Vet School.

Jeez, I had hoped we had seen the last of Heather Wilson following her desparate efforts to win a spot in a McCain administration by shameless lying and snide accusations.

That’s why makeup is sometimes called warpaint. A lot of women wear it defensively, so I’ve noticed. I do too, when I wear it all. There are days when I’ve got allergies plus bronchitis etc. and I just pile on the makeup when I can’t afford to miss work, and yet I know I look ill, so I try to hide it with makeup. It doesn’t hide everything, but it works.

And thanks Christy. Dreaming of Rove doing the frogmarch.

Nixon’s people went to jail. Why can’t congress make a stand on high officials breaking the law?

Or, more importantly, to deflect any tarnish from Dubya’s hiney?

Harriet’s over-the-top admiration of W was groundbreaking work enabling Rich Lowry’s Palin-inspired “starbursts”
