Interesting News Of The Week

Trex puts the snark on our favorite wingnut blogger. Imagine trying to use the Frank Capra classic “Meet John Doe” as a rallying cry for Gestapo tactics.

There are couple of good diaries up a dKos this morning. I found this one particularly interesting. I’ve often wondered, ever since the Clinton impeachment really, how it is possible that the entire leadership of one of the major American political parties is seemingly populated entirely by people with absolutely no scruples or conscience (and yes, I have read Dean’s book). Here a member of the legal profession wonders the same thing and issus a call for action.

There is so much on the US Attorney’s scandal that I don’t know where to begin. All I know is that it’s now perfectly clear to me and any other rational person I know that the BushCo has been trying to turn the United States Department of Justice and the FBI into his own personal political hit squad. Let’s hope that the Congress will really have the guts to do something about it. If not, I can’t imagine what the consequences will be for our nation. This is actually from yesterday, but I found it today.

Along the same lines but with a more positive (at least for the left) outlook, Scarecrow had a great article up yesterday on FDL about what the past six years has meant to the Republican Party and the nation as a whole and how we might be able to recover from this long nightmare.

UPDATE: Only The Rudeness could do this story justice.

How could I have forgotten to include it?

Rove’s performance, which, according to several articles, brought the motherfuckin’ house down, consisted of Turd Blossom swinging his arms like Frankenstein’s monster at the end of a four-day meth bender and then doin’ the hippity-hoppity thang of crossin’ his arms gangsta-style and doing some weirdo shit with his cell phone, every once in a while answering the question of “What’s your name” with his best Negro-speech-inflected, “MC Rove.”

Truly, if the Rude Pundit had had a bottle of acid, he’d've washed his eyes out with it. Truly, Tupac Shakur, seeing the video on YouTube, said, “Fuck it” and shot himself, realizing there was no reason to go on pretending.
