Ooh, she looks unhappy. I would be too, if I had just been called on four years of bullshit all at once, when I was assured by my husb-- president that I would slide right through.

And Senator Boxer is my new hero. She is an ass kicker.

~A!

Can someone please tell me what the hell is going on with the Clinton Curtis story? Why hasn't a proper investigation started? Why hasn't he just gone to the police?

"SCARY"

He has gone to the police, Fred. Specifically the FBI and other law enforcement bureaus. Question may be how much *they* are actually looking into it. Or not.

I will do my best to let you know what I know when I know it.

Working on a few things, but don't like to report anything until I have confidence in it. Hang in there...

Oh man,freaked me out when the page opened and saw that face. I mean can't you just see the gears turnin inside that head?

Well, this extra time is a good thing even if it does'nt change the outcome because it gives millions of Americans the chance to see Rice and the Admin. taken to task for all their lies and misinformation. You know, she did'nt look too good when my new hero Barbara Boxer was cleaning her clock. Obviously she's not used to, and can't hack any critisism 'cause she looked like she was getting ready to start spittin bullets at Sen. Boxer.

Is it just me, or do any of you sense a change in the willingness of some Democrats to get up in their faces more since the electoral challenge? Maybe it's just wishful thinking..........

Ss

I don't think it's just you, Supersoling. But before I get too excited, I wanna see how much they can really carry through with this newfound almost-backbone. They are Democrats after all. So let's see if they really keep it up before we get too excited

Ask yourself this question..... "Do you feel lucky"????

A cold, hard looking, bitter, spiteful expression from someone who knows the harm she has done.

She ,along with many other top cabinet members, carry the lies, death and destruction on their shoulders forever. Those thoughts won't disappear....they remain 24hrs day 7days a week .... nor will any amount of alcohol or drugs make the serious mistakes right ... or OK.

Justice will prevail.

Hey folks -Don't let the other members skate on this-Kerry and Boxer-and thats it?
I don't think so. Let your Senator and Congressperson know how you feel about this Joke of a nonmination. Powells farewell to his people was the only other big joke of the day.
Weather "junkies" pray for more snow and ice-its a fitting tribute to this uncaring admisteration.
Viva Boxer and Kerry and boo to the rest who cowardly okayed her nomination.

Well at least the pipeline is going ahead.

Since the U.S.-led offensive that ousted the Taliban from power, the project has been revived and drawn strong U.S. support. The pipeline would allow formerly Soviet Central Asian nations to exports [sic] rich energy resources without relying on Russian routes.

Rice's friends at Unocal and Enron must be well pleased with her "work".

"..refrain from impugning my integrity." That's the best she could come up with? I suppose all they do at the Whitehouse is party. George walks in with the bags of cocaine, Condoleeza on one arm, Laura on the other. Dick Cheney searches for the valuables. Alberto Gonzalez gets a gay orgy started while Donald Rumsfield videotapes it. And Karl Rove emcees the whole thing.
Whitehouse gone wild. On sale now for only $19.99.

G has it right. All that bad stuff has to take a toll. Love, truth, and good will, sets you free. I'm usually a big scaredy cat when it comes to just about everything (except when my kids are in danger), but I am going to do the Democracy Flu tomorrow. And I really want to go to Westwood and see and hear Ron Kovic. I've been so upset with this Admin., the hostage press, the lies, the corrupt elections. Have got to do something. Have really enjoyed BradBlog site. Thanks, Brad. Reading the other blogs gives me hope.
All you good guys, you great Americans, Keep the faith!

Orange! what'cha talkn'bout. I look horrible in orange, and it's not even Versace .....

BE THE BUSH OPPOSITION: 24/7

re#9 Winter Patriot The Trans Afghan pipeline has been in the works since at least the late eighties. Rice will undoubtedly prove invaluable as Secretary of State in helping pave the way for US contractors, to build the pipeline and a multibillion dollar liquification plant at some port. The natural gas will have to be liquified to ship by sea. Unocal, Halliburtin, Bechtel, all friends of Bush, Cheney must be frothing at the mouth thinking about all those dollars.

That Trans Afghan pipeline kinda gets the wheels turning thinking about 9-11.

Under Condy's watch as National Security Advisor two biggest intelligence failures in the history of United States: 9/11 & WMD in Iraq.

Yet she gets promoted to Secretary of State.
Hell-o!!

Condi, DUMYA and friends do not give a damn about anyone, have no consciences, and think only of themselves. They believe they can do as they please, and no one can stop them. They sleep well at night. She is defiant, plain and simple. Like DUMYA, she doesn't care what Boxer or anyone says. She will never admit a mistake. DUMYA's money will always protect her. She believes she has nothing whatsoever to fear - ever. She may be right!?! What say you?

re:Bando Bling's comment. Under Condi's watch the two most massive intelligence falures in the history of the United States. My question is were they intellignece failures or was 9-11 allowed to happen. With the billions at stake in the Trans Afghan pipeline, and gasification plant, and the second largest oil reserves in the world in Iraq what would be a few thousand lives to these multinational conglomerates. With the bandits in Washington I wouldn't doubt anything. I have no way of knowing but I damn well have questions.

Hi, Pushcat - Condi, no doubt, thinks that 9/11 was a wonderful opportunity for America - likewise the tsunami disaster on Dec. 26.

Peggy #18, Well she did say the tsunami was a wonderful opportunity. She may think 9-11 is also. SUENAMMY, GWB spelling of tsnumai, LOL

These people have a really warped idea of "opportunities". Don't forget that, shortly after 9/11, Shrub gloated, "Lucky me--I hit the trifecta!", and continued crassly, tastelessly repeating that wisecrack, and its variations, numerous times, mainly at his fundraising events.
(http://www.democraticunderground.com/plaidder/04/17.html)

One of the (many) frustratingly horrible things is that they feel so self-confident and protected that they blurt these insulting pearls out publicly, not just behind closed doors.

The only newsworthy thing about this Democratic "delay" is that anyone takes it seriously. I mean, seriously, if anyone thinks these guys have as much backbone as a jellyfish, they ought to be ashamed for being fooled twice (2000/2001 and 2004/2005).

The Democrats are terrified and are cooperating with the Bushists, for fear of reprisals. That's why, for instance, they let Barbara Boxer challenge Ohio and vote against coronating Bush, while the other senators and nearly all House members said, "Yeah, Bush, he's my man! Crown him King!" They were afraid of Bushist retaliation. They went along with the sham "debate" that day in hopes it would keep their voters fooled. Now they are going to "delay" Ms. Rice's confirmation to keep their voters fooled. How many times do we have to be fooled? January 6 should have been the last day for being fooled.

I am not like Ralph Nader. I don't say both parties are Hitlers. I say the Bushist Party is Hitler and the Democratic Party is Chamberlain. They sell out their allies in the hope of buying "peace" from the Bushists, who give them war anyway.

Forgive the interruption: Nightline and Ted Koppel are addressing the many claims of a "stolen election" right now on ABC (west coast). They began by addressing the rampant ideas and theories floating around on the internet. Let's see how THEY handle it.

Re. Pushcat #17 Yea, I too believe that they allowed 911 to happen because it fit their need for a "Pearl Harbor like" event in order to get the people to go along with their plans to go into Afghanistan and Iraq. It's known that the Neocons in PNAC (project for a new american century) were planning all this long before **sh was ever selected in 2000. So we know now that they were'nt going to let a little thing like an election get in their way.

Re. Chemoelectric . Org # 21,I was just saying I sensed a change for whatever it was worth, and in strange way it almost seems like they're thinking, well now that we've lost the election, we can say what we want because there's no longer any risk in it. Does that make sense? I know the world is upsidedown right now , but damn.

Re. Understandinglife#, Orange is my favorite color these days! I'm a custom painter by trade so I took one of those big "support our troops" magnetic ribbons and painted it orange And stuck it on my van.No one has said anything yet, but I know there are at least a few who get behind me who know what it means. Just a small way of reaching out in these troubled times.:)

Peace to all

Brad, work on keeping Clint Curtis in the public eye, as much as possible. I'm genuinely concerned for his safety.

Brad, work on keeping Clint Curtis in the public eye, as much as possible. I'm genuinely concerned for his safety.

Miss future shithead Secretary of State commented that the tsunami was a "great opportunity". They are all demented. Half this country is demented. I'm living in a psycho ward.

What stunningly marvelous opportunities! 4000 dead on September 11... 100,000 dead in the cradle of civilization... 150,000 dead in Asia.
What great luck! And now we must bring freedom to six more countries immediately, so the great foreign policy expert states. The joy is uncontainable.

I love when Senator Boxer said to the helmeted shithead that its fine to tell a little lie if you are selling can openers. But in selling a war, one would hope for a bit of fact.
I like the gal.

Did'nt Frist just offer a bill in the Senate that would classify political anxiety as a mental illnes?
Just swallow this little pill.......................

Re: #31
Perhaps shes taken advantage of the group medical plan already.

Hey ho, Torqued! I knew it!!
Would that they had the good sense to take hemlock (if it were covered in the plan).

I think #16 Peggy is right, I don't believe any of these insane people think about the destruction they have caused. Most pathelogical liars actually believe their own creation of reality. It is up to us to keep the word out there. Email encouraging words to Boxer and Kerry. Let Conyers know you are with him in his quest for truth. Email your Representatives to tell them what you expect them to do. When they hear enough voices, they will start to listen.

What a lovely "Straw Man", Jack Frost. Do you make them often?

Who's her Daddy ??? Which wrinkled up Senator
spawned her? She looks so mean , maybe CHUCKY
fathered her, she kind of looks like him....

Gotta go finish all my 4'x6' Bush YOU SUCK signs for my downtown city front yard, across the street from city hall.To bad the cop shop is there too, might pissss off some one , hope I don't get into trouble.

Everyone I know doesn't support Bush , except one college edumakated goper, but most are afraid
of the retaliation if they say so. How many
American citizen protesters have been arrested
since HORRIBLE GEORGE's first installation ?Answer
same amount as the 10,000 wounded sent home from Bush and CONdi's war. Dirty liars them all.

PS
Mr Brad, Can I paint a copy of your Velvet Revolution flag for my front yard. Big and put up
some info sources for my fellow townsmen to see?

I want to help.

Re. # 36, Recheck your numbers dude. It's interesting that you say we are racist for opposing her loyalty to this regime when it's clear that she was chosen because of her race and gender just like Powell, Gonzalez, etc. **sh USED them to create the illusion of inclusion and (puke) compassionate conservetism. While African Americans and other minorities sure have plenty to complain about as far as being taken for granted by the Dems., I don't see any defection to the Dark Side.

Morning,
Boy, she looks cranky doesn't she? You can see she's just seething with the thought that anyone would *dare* question her actions.

Oh, and Jack. Racism has nothing to do with it. The woman has outright lied and lied again to the people and wholly supported her boss's murderous regime.

And aren't those the eyes of a psycho?

I love the way this guy writes. Wish I could be that articulate.

Hi, Cheryl.

Thanks for the good links, on this thread and elsewhere. I hope you will continue to contribute.

You're welcome Winter. I hope I don't make everyone sick with my contributions. Here's another.

Cheryl wrote: "I hope I don't make everyone sick with my contributions."

Not much chance of that. The sickening stuff is in the articles themselves. And we can always choose to stop reading them.

Once again I feel gladdened that a British Media outlet can give you guys some unbiased coverage of International events, especially that nightmare in the middle east that Bush kicked off and Blair was stupid enough to play along with.

I know that the British media don't go into US domestic events as much as they do the international, but at least it's better than nothing, if I see any interesting articles I'll post up links. I can't keep up with it too well but I'll do my best.

Well spotted Cheryl, you GO GIRL!

All ahead full and damn the trolls! (or something like that anyways...)

Keep the faith and vive le revolution de velours!

Thanks everyone for being so kind. I feel like I've made a whole new group of friends. During the darkest hours when I lay awake at night sick at the thought of what is happening in Iraq, the US and the world it's a wonderful feeling to know that I am not alone.

Straight from the mouths of the "resisters":

Brad, in one of your posts you mentioned that Clinton Curtis met with alot of Senators and that Sen. Kennedy's staff was particularily interested.
What is going to happen with this? Also wasn't there a lawsuit filed in Ohio from someone who claimed to have the "smoking gun" re: vote fraud?
What has happened with that? And even if a "smoking gun" is uncovered will it even matter if the MSM refuses to acknowledge it. Even Jon Stewart has completely ignored the vote fraud/irregularities issue.

{ed note: Off-topic. Deleted.}

Atty Jimmo why don't you go help out your lying warmonger hero GWB and volunteer in Iraq. If all of you Chickenhawk Republicans would back up your war loving words with actions we wouldn't need the back-door draft we have now, or the real draft that is coming in the future.

Hi, friends - Winter Patriot & Freebird - previously I was thinking demonstrations don't work. But I have changed my mind after talking with you folks and reading bloggers and material on the internet. Particularly, a massive, massive flooding to the streets of America, e.g., by 53 million people, or all voters for John Kerry. I am heartened by the letter sent to DUMYA by Sgt. Benderman who refuses to return for a second tour in Iraq, counts DUMYA as America's enemy, and say up to 75% of the troops agree with him (see www.bellaciao.org on Jan 15). The troops are with us, and we with them!

Themes could be "voters for Kerry" "supporters for Boxer and Conyers" - could take several days, nice if it interfered with a DUMYA personal appearance event, or any drafting activities, or what other ideas are floating around out there? Coincide with the actual filing of impeachment papers against DUMYA, Senators, Congresspeople, and DUMYA's administration. Mock arrests and imprisonment of DUMYA and the Senator/Congressperson supporters in your area? Get the soldiers and families to join us? It must be the protest of the MILLENIUM, i.e., THE VELVET REVOLUTION.

How about a plain old, class action law suit - People of the United States of America vs. George W. Bush - we have all the evidence we need to convict him of lying, crimes against the American people resulting in the unnecessary deaths of American soldiers, abuse of position and power, and damages, damages, damages. Get signatures of every American who wants to join the class action suit against him???

I think Ms. Rice, in herself, is not such a major issue. If she wasn't Secretaty Of State, someone who is just as party-line would be. That's why Powell is out. He had a mind of his own, though he's not telling us about it (at least, not yet).

The dangers to our country from this administration run a lot deeper the Condi Rice. Even Bush, himself, reminds me of the "Front" in "The Manchurian Candidate".

NOTE: "Jack Frost" (post #36) made a comment so moronic that it almost makes the other trolls look good, in comparison. Almost........."Straw Man" indeed, Boosterz (#38)!

Reminded me of a high tech lynching of an uppity black.

The Afghanistan pipeline may have been in the planning stages in the eighties, however, the Bush administration was meeting with the Taliban just before 9/11 to finalize the project. That's one reason Cheney does not want to release a list of participants in his energy commission. The American people would come unglued if they knew the truth about the Taliban.

It's amazing that Dr Rice showed up for work on 9/12. A competent National Security Advisor would have connected the dots. The GOP should be ashamed of her nomination. History will be unkind to these criminals!!!!!!

Oh stop it Lori. I don't believe you. Ted Koppel only addresses real news issues. He doesn't waste his time with wild theories about Republican controlled machines shifting votes to Republican candidates. Damn it, Ted Koppel is a serious journalist. The kind of serious journalist who discusses oral sex in the Whitehouse. Now that's serious news. . Let us know how it goes.

Just thought I'd humor myself. I'm such a Pollyanna. I click the heels of my little ruby shoes and still nothing happens.

OH MY GODDD!!!!!!!!! THE NEW HAIRSTYLE!!!!!!

Bleeeeechhhhhhh! Puke!!!!

Have you seen the rather obscure news story about China National Oil considering acquiring Unocal? If you recall, George H. W. Bush was a former ambassador to the PRC, and he and his family have undoubted been cultivating their business connections in that country. It makes one ponder...

Ponder away, Ewastud!

I've even seen similar ponderings expressed in public. Why worry about our indebtedness to China when we're working WITH them to strap and hog-tie the American economy permanently. Corporate entities of the world, rise up...and behold your saviour. Your ascendancy to godhood is at hand!

Do you wonder why the Bush crowd doesn't seem to suspect that his political enemies can think deviously too?

I apologize for losing control and writing FU to AttyJim on your blog. This is such a sad and dark day that I just couldn't bear him (or any other repub) anymore.
As always Brad, thank you for what you are doing for our side.

"...Paul said on 1/20/2005 @ 11:28am PT...

Have you ever been to the low tech kind, maybe with gramps, or even dad?

Welcome to the "BUSH OLIGARCHY"

Government of the people by a “few people”

Paul, you should be glad the Congressional Black Caucus didn't grill Condoleeza. They wouldn't have been as kind as Barbara Boxer.

An uppity something on the way down.

She's hanging herself, but every hair will be in place. Word is, she strangled her pen during the hearings.

So where did Condi get that DARTH VADER hairstyle anyway? LOL

For the right-wingers attempting to stir racial tensions, you all must be reading from Karl Rove's playbook. Despite being white, actually tanned, I have had the opportunity to fight against racism all my adult professional life. I have witnessed the subtle nuances of racism to the overt racist cross burnings of white hooded men. I remember in Florida during a campaign I worked on in 1976, when the white community of a town supporting our Republican opponent had a long-standing sign when you entered which read, "No niggers after 7:00 PM," and when the local sheriff kicked a black man to death in his jail cell with his cowboy boots, and when the Klan marched into town and burned a small black owned church to the ground.

So I remember the great white flight...when Republicans lured away white southerners from the Democratic Party through race-baiting and exploiting racial division. I witnessed it first hand in southern politics and political campaigns. The only thing I could say back then to my southern neighbors who switched and ran...was good riddance!

I can honestly say that Condi Rice dishonors the black race when she embraces a Republican Party, President, and administration that has strategically planned for years on how to create race-baiting tensions, converting white southern Democrats to switch to the Republican Party through racist slurs and innuendos, suppressed and defrauded black and other minority voters, and associates with the likes of George Bush and Karl Rove who were party to these racist games back during the 1972 elections while her hero GEORGE BUSH was AWOL and working as a student of Alabama politics at the same time boy wonder KARL ROVE was learning the same Nixonian "dirty tricks" of the trade.

So it shouldn't have surprised anyone when George Bush and Karl Rove teamed up to get DUMBYA elected Governor of Texas and used gay bashing, gay marriage, and gay fear mongering to whip up the Texas Bible Belt as a strategy to defeat their opponent, Ann Richards, with a slew of lies and dirty tricks. Sound familiar? You think the "gay marriage" issue appeared out of nowhere in 2004? Go back to 1994 and you'll see how they planned to win in 2004 by making sure gay marriage became an issue!

So the picture of Condi and then the next thread shot of a Nixon Inauguration goes hand in hand, from one war criminal to another, one lying dirty trickster to another, one more oil and gas President to a no-go-girl with her name on an oil tanker. Condi belongs in a prison cell along with all her other accomplices, Bush, Rove, and their corporate puppet-masters. Being a traitor to both her race and her country, only makes her a double ended disgrace.

You're really rockin tonight, Freebird! Rock on!

Here's another piece calculated to help you get to sleep tonight (not):

http://www.truthout.org/docs_05/012105Z.shtml

But DO sleep well anyway. We need peak levels of energy, outrage and intelligence to do what we MUST do, for our posterity and for our world.
You're great friends and allies. I don't know what I'd do without you.

Peg

I'll never forget Condi saying,"who could have imagined using airplanes as bombs and crashing them into buildings," only to learn that the pentagon had been secretly running tests of the idea. How could she have not known? She likes to play innocent but is guilty as hell.

Any way... here is a link to a very worth while piece. A little lengthy but well worth the read.

http://www.yuricareport....BloodGuiltyChurches.html

Bye, bye Atty Jim and Jack Frost!

Yes, the left of left Brad banned the free speech of Atty Jim.

Boy, Limbaugh has been so good today and yesterday about the left.

coment #73 Paul has had another "BRAINFART" Wow.

Limbaugh is so yesterday, Paul. Like you are about to become. Watch out, Ed Schultz is coming and he's as mad as hell. And you are going to be taking it, all the way down. Limbaugh's been taking it for years, and I don't mean oxycontin, either.

I wonder how much of the 40 mil went to grease Condi's hair?

To paraphrase Tom Robbins, it looks like the Exxon Condi, or whatever that tub is named, ran aground on her head

C. Rice is the female McCarty.

But even he would shrivel up and exclaim "we are not worthy" upon seeing her in action.

A died in the wool fascist if ever there was one.

Oops ... McCarthy not "McCarty".

Senator Boxer made her nervous, though. Did I tell ya? Someone observed that during the questioning, Ms. McCarthy was twisting her pen with all her fascist might. She can't strangle Barb, so we'll see what happens in the nine hours coming up.

Yeah, don't ever let a Fascist get her hands on a ball point pen.

Well, the witch is in.

Off to a bad start, though.
