The Latest on the Busby/Bilbray Brouhaha with Mimi Kennedy, Emily Levy and Peter B. Collins…

Share article:

Mimi Kennedy of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA) and Emily Levy of California Election Protection Network (CPEN) appeared smartly today in my usual weekly Friday slot on The Peter B. Collins Show. Somehow, from somewhere, off to the side of a blistering hot stretch of highway in the middle of the Great Plains, I found a computer and net access from which I could secretly listen in (don’t tell them.)

A busman’s holiday.

They were all three tremendous on the topic mess that is the Busby/Bilbray CA50 election fiasco and on the anti-American, democracy-hating, truth-averse San Diego County Registrar Mikel Haas and his facilitating partner-in-crime CA Sec. of State Bruce McPherson. They offer a few hints as well about what’s to come on those topics within the next few days (and what it is that’s been keeping me from getting fully off the grid for the last week or so.)

Give ’em a listen…

Mimi and Emily on the Peter B. Collins Show, 7/28/06 [MP3]

And one quick personal word about Peter B… He has, nearly single-handedly, devoted more air time time to the issue of Electoral Integrity over the past year or so than just about anybody else across the entire media spectrum. Not just with my weekly appearances, but with many other guests and discussions on the same issues. For that, this country owes him an enormous debt of gratitude. Especially while the bulk of the media still fails to deal with this issue head on. PBC’s willingness to use his platform for the public good, instead of distraction, is not to be “misunderestimated”. Thank you, Peter. I’ll be back. Though hopefully not too soon. 😉

    Hi Brad, How’s that vacation thingy working out for you? Thanks for the link, now go away and enjoy, kick up your heels and make sure you get some rest. We’re all depending on you!

    Eat, pig out, chow down, pack in the groceries, stow it away, gorge yourself, overeat, feast, gourmandize, show them how it’s done… minimum ten hours’ sleep a day/night… and frolic in beauty the rest of the time — stopping only to hug and kiss people you love. It’ll put a monster big smile on that kisser, I bet.

    Stop it.

    About the eating thing,.. he is going to weight 325lbs
    when he gets back here.

    Can you see him,.. his fat ass plopped in front of the
    keyboard,.. with a 5 lb bag of chips and a gallon of sour cream and onion dip parked on the right side. And on the left side a 10 gallon container of Haagen Daz and one teaspoon. Warm butterscotch and chocolate sauce goo-dripping down into the keyboard. With maraschino cherry juice and whip cream dripping down to his elbows,.. lap,.. and ground into the carpet.

    He’ll be so fat and content,.. overstuffed and lethargic,.. we’ll be lucky if he gets one thread message out the door about election integrity issues
    prior to voting day in November.

    A little hungry,… is good. Too cushy maybe to our
    (cause/missions) detriment. Besides he will have to buy a whole new wardrobe.

    Brad is probably too young to remember Laugh In , but his comment about secretly “listening in” made me think of the guy who used to open the bushes and say “Very interesting”.

    Did you SEE Brad on TV right as he was starting his busman’s vacation? May I remind you that TV puts 15-20 pounds on people. HE HAS TO EAT HIS BRAINS OUT BECAUSE THE ADRENALINE IS BURNING OFF FOUR TIMES THE CALORIES HE PUTS INTO HIMSELF. He’s much younger than we are too, and so won’t go goopy-slobby fat on us, or even partly lethargic for at least a decade. But he might drop from sustained stress deficits!

    I’m putting lots of my energy behind helping him rock our world, and so I want that boy healthy as a horse, strong as an ox, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. I know what I’m talking about.

    … “but not very funny.” 😛 Now that was entertainment.

    Hey Brad, You have to know how old mothers worry. You need to look into some serious TLC and Pampering while you can. You’ve been working your ass off, you deserve it. Seriously though I hope you’re having a great vacation. Thanks for all you do! I have to give you Kudos for the people you have entrusted your site to while you’ve been away, They have been doing a Fabulous job. I just visited What Really Happened .com and found a link to the Brad Blog about the 2004 Alaska Vote results still not being released. You and your colleagues are spreading truth all over the tubes. Its GREAT to see!

    Local papers here in San Diego continue to have op-eds misrepresent our desire for a manual count… Witness this one here.

    “While Francine Busby’s supporters continue to grouse about the runoff Bilbray won, with local Democrats demanding a recount —- as if a Republican winning in a Republican district ought to set off everyone’s alarm bells —- Bilbray is actually making Busby’s job in their November rematch easier.”

    At least for us Democrats, he’s aptly criticizing Bilbray’s performance to this point and not praising him like many of the yokels earlier had been.

    The media sure seems to provide an avenue for folks like Tancredo though and his allegations of widespread “voter fraud”, as if that is the only kind of fraud and “election fraud” doesn’t exist. He’s pointing fingers at Busby and Loretta Sanchez as “benefitting” from this sort of thing here. He’s trying to use it so that we will have to bring in “papers” to show we can vote. Jim Crowe laws still keep happening with these guys!

    Hey 99, I think the second part of Arte’s line was, “…but shtoopid!” Anyone else remember TW3? Of course even Brad remembers Goldie, “You bet your bippie!”
