Sure, it’s no Scooter Libby having the temerity to remember differently than Tim Russert. But still.

I saw that, too. Can congress appoint an independant counsel without going through the Executive branch?
You’ve been blogging like you were shot out of a cannon lately, Jeff.
Cheers, man.
independant counsel without going through the Executive branch?
issa is on his own.
We’re in a weird place nowadays where it’s not strange to wonder if hundreds and hundreds of smoking guns will actually matter.
(I’ve been suffering from some serious ennui since the Arizona illegal immigration law was shit-canned. Honestly, I’m not entirely sure what I’m supposed to be doing about these abuses lately. I was thinking about working on the open Senate seat but is that just a waste of time? Historically, I think I’m supposed to put my efforts into personal debauchery at this point in the cycle.)
Republican ‘strategist’ types are urging Issa to just shut-up. Why? These idiots see poor lil’ Eric Holder as another put upon Billy Jeff Clinton, caught with his hand in the cooze, yet let off the hook because ‘Americans’ don’t like the look of ‘overreach’. Cunts, every one of these republican strategists.
wiki
Holder received his Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School, graduating in 1976.
the effin’ guild. he’s a “harvard” man too like baracky.
Republican ‘strategist’ types can pound sand. Holder lied. People died.
I feel you, bh. We can’t police our own borders, but we have to pay a tax on things we don’t do, don’t want to do, and — if I understand the ruling right — don’t really have to do. Constitution says so!
In a way, knowing it’s all over is kinda liberating. I no longer tolerate people who stole my liberty or my family’s liberty, nor allowed it to happen. And that frees me up to be me, even in social situations that used to call for a bit more decorum and diplomacy.
Republican strategists are our enemy. They care about appearances and gulling straggling “moderates” and “independents” of the stripe who vote Dem by default, anyhow.
Principles are not at all important to them. In fact, they counsel that you run from such antiquated things. Thick black lines and all.
Fuck them with John Roberts’ dick.
Yeah, it is a bit liberating, Jeff. I’ve only been half kidding about my comments about which laws it’ll be most fun to ignore.
Outlaw! means something primal to me now. The social contract is gone. I don’t so much mean to misbehave as I don’t think “behave” means anything anymore in any meaningful, civic sense.
i would like to thank Doug Ross who at least put out enough information that I could find the Issa letter in the Congressional Record unlike every other story I looked at vainly for that info. It is in the June 28th House CR H4409-4411 (about halfway down the pdf at pages 251-253), pdf here.
fauxchohantas shows the way: i’m an illegal who is amish. win- dream win- barackycare.
we’re in just make up shit territory.
Like it will matter. Issa could come up with an audio recording of Holder telling Obama “Well, tomorrow I’m going to lie — laughably so — to Issa and the rest of those Republican cocksuckers, because let’s face it, who doesn’t hold Congress in contempt?”
… and most folks would be all “Yeah, alright man, finally someone’s saying what we’ve all been thinking!”
We’ve been there forever. Since at least the New Critics took over the right to determine what a text meant as a public right, a populist right.
Once Jim became a homoerotic companion to a closeted gay Huck Finn, it was only a matter of time before lawyers said, hey, teach us how to get in on some of that shit!
It’s just now we actually get to see the brush strikes, because there’s no shame, evidently, in calling yourself an originalist and then calling what you know wasn’t a tax a tax because you can read it that way. Provided you forget what you know to be the case.
And conservatives will come to your defense for doing so.
Over.
Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace are our enemies? You damn right they are.
I like how Doug closes: “Buh-bye, Eric.”
Yes, but we’re also in “Of course they’re lying!” territory. There’s an awakening afoot. People who otherwise cared less about things political are smelling the bullshit and noticing the rising temperature of the water in the pot. Are there enough of them? Are they waking up fast enough? I sure hope so. Because it’s going to get really fucking ugly otherwise. Or either way.
Gird your loins and keep your tall boots handy.
What’s funny is that I initially wanted to say that this wasn’t conservative but…
I wish my still was up and running. The tax stamp on this bourbon offends me now.

FTFY.
It’s only in the old America that conservatives were conserving our system of classical liberalism, Pablo. It set our nation apart for a very long time.
No more.
No, Roberts is a conservative.
It reminds me of the line that passing socialized medicine will turn conservatives into caretakers of the welfare state.
So, Kevin McCarthy was just on my teevee pimping for Romney. After some discussion of Romney’s leadership and business success, he decided to declare that Romney will “make the trains run on time.”
Holy fuck, these people are stupid.
Ifmy aunthad balls she’d beis my uncle.What does conservative mean?
It doesn’t mean “the things we like”. It means the continuation of tradition. He’s done that.
heh. J Ginsburg has more than a few traditions she’s intent on conserving too.
We’re reclamationists now, I suppose.
Hey, here’s a song.
These are our demands:
We want control of our bodies.
Decisions will now be ours.
You can carry out your noble actions,
We will carry our noble scars.
Reclamation.
No one here is asking,
No one here is asking,
But there is a question of trust.
You will do what looks good to you on paper,
We will do what we must.
Return, return, return.
Carry my body.
Can we tax illegals back to their home countries?
We will know we are close when the wheels of Obama’s bus go round and round Eric Holder’s body.
After some discussion of Romney’s leadership and business success, he decided to declare that Romney will “make the trains run on time.”

scooter libby is a fun ride in the “make shit up” playland. go harvard men!!11!!
I’m thinking Senator Blowhard has a ring to it, my Outlaw friend.
oh for the diversity: go harvard glbt communists!
– Bummblefucks handlers would probably have shredded any direct F&F ties to his royal self by now, and if there is any DoJ memos that would prove such a connection they will disapeare and holder will be told to take one for the team.
– The WH will burn to the ground before they’ll ever allow any proof to surface. The only way that could happen is through an unexpected whistle blower source.

I haven’t followed a single of your links. Don’t mean to be a dick about it but you’re a bit presumptuous. Put some effort in here and convince me otherwise.
Between ’92 and ’05 or so I really lived life, leigh. So: never gonna happen.
You can cast yourself as a ‘character”, bh. You know, man-about-town with charming, yet gritty backstory. An up by his bootstraps kind of guy.

Rick Santorum’s Phone Is Cold

National Review Online hears from reliable sources that the former Pennsylvania senator is ready to help Romney, but since the pair huddled in Pittsburgh last month, he has not been asked to become an active surrogate.
A few weeks ago, Santorum recorded a couple short web videos for Romney, and he has agreed to share his extensive mailing list. But beyond that, the senator hasn’t heard much from Boston, and he is not being vetted for veep.
http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/304469/rick-santorum-s-phone-cold-robert-costa
Republican, Democrat, what’s the difference?
Of course they don’t want Santorum around. Santorum is completely useless to them because he told the truth about Romney’s vulnerability on health care.

She graduated from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in government[4] on June 23, 1954, and that fall enrolled at Harvard Law School, where she was one of only nine women in a class of more than five hundred.
I sort of took Charlie Wilson as a reasonable model, then moved him to Louisiana where most of the extant politicians would probably make bh’s youthful real life *ahem* experiences seem to have issued from a finishing school.
“Republican, Democrat, what’s the difference?”
And too, the D’s back their brethren to the hilt, where the R’s are content to backstab ’em instanter.

I gotta admit, I sorta like the idea of running as a degenerate blue dog.
Prediction (easy and most of you probably already believe this): Holder will not resign, will not spend an hour in jail, will face not a penny in civil judgment. Issa will be the butt of racist smears on SNL for six months.
they’re keeping a seat warm at CNN for this Holder person I think
they’re banking on him to be their Sharpton-slayer don’t you know

Talking Heads – “This Must Be The Place”
the choom gang
“It is fitting that on Labor Day, we meet beside the waters of New York harbor, with the eyes of Miss Liberty on our gathering and in the words of the poet whose lines are inscribed at her feet, “The air bridged harbor that twin cities frame.”
Through this “Golden Door,” under the gaze of that “Mother of Exiles,” have come millions of men and women, who first stepped foot on American soil right there, on Ellis Island, so close to the Statue of Liberty.
These families came here to work. They came to build. Others came to America in different ways, from other lands, under different, often harrowing conditions, but this place symbolizes what they all managed to build, no matter where they came from or how they came or how much they suffered.
They helped to build that magnificent city across the river. They spread across the land building other cities and towns and incredibly productive farms.
They came to make America work. They didn’t ask what this country could do for them but what they could do to make this refuge the greatest home of freedom in history.
They brought with them courage, ambition and the values of family, neighborhood, work, peace and freedom. They came from different lands but they shared the same values, the same dream.
Today a President of the United States would have us believe that dream is over or at least in need of change.
Jimmy Carter’s Administration tells us that the descendants of those who sacrificed to start again in this land of freedom may have to abandon the dream that drew their ancestors to a new life in a new land.
The Carter record is a litany of despair, of broken promises, of sacred trusts abandoned and forgotten.”

Bachmann and others are behind the movement, in conjunction w/ the governor’s association, to stop implementation. The rationale being that the law doesn’t take effect until 2014 and they plan to repeal it, so there’s no reason to be spending all the billions of dollars on setting up these exchanges.
Walker and Jindal are two that I know have signed on.
Let’s see what Chris Christie and Mitch Daniels and Rick Perry do.
Gov. Deal of Georgia issued a statement demanding repeal, and the latest FreedomWorks spam I got mentioned him but I don’t know if it was about blocking implementation or not.
I was disappointed the governor of Wyoming seems to have rolled over — I guess, to paraphrase Jayne Cobb, the Medicaid money’s too good.
Gov. Dayton has been handed a license to waste more of Minnesotans wealth. And he’ll be joined by a few other Democrat imbeciles, though it’s just possible there are also a few sane people in the number of Democrat governors who won’t want to spend on folly.
Lest we forget, having brown skin is the new Cloak of Invisibiltiy where prosecution is concerned. Mind you, it’s not the Bobby Jindal/Vijay Singh-brown skin, but the Obama/Holder brown skin.
George Zimmerman is browner than Holder and Obama put together, and yet, he is lynch-worthy. WTF?
Oops did I just put the word lynch and Obama/Holder in the same sentence? Up there? And down here?
Nice knowin’ you guys.
