Dumb Asses
First of all for those of you who did not catch Keith Olbermann's comments the other night check this out on You Tube:

I thought Bush was the dumbest s.o.b. around, but he has a close second with Trent Lott's latest comments:

I sent the information on Trent's bullcrap to a number of people and I heard back from a few of them. My favorite reply is from one of my attorney friends "John". It is one of the best things he has written and I thought anyone reading this might like to review his thoughts:
Dear Jack,
Why does it surprise you, if it does, that these pricks say things like that. The sons of Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt served in WWI and WWII. One of Theodore's sons, Quentin, was killed while flying in France in WWI. Another was an assistant division commander in the D-Day invasion. He went in with first wave. Franklin's sons all served, but with less prominence.
Ever notice how the arm chair warriors only have daughters. That is not to ignore the women in armed forces now, but the point is that the chicken shit politicians running this and most country don't give a rat's ass about anything except the next election and staying in office. That includes a willingness to sacrifice the lives of incredibly brave and heroic young people from middle class American families.
Viet Nam never would have happened if Johnson could have found a politically acceptable way out. He couldn't stand the fire and we lost 60,000 young Americans and two million Viet Namese. All for political reasons.
I can't wait, in a perverse sense, until I hear good old bad ass George II add "peace with honor" to the other silly ass slogans he remembers through his alcohol induced intellectual haze during the Reagan years, such as "Stay the course" and so on.
Some day some one somewhere will notice that it is very difficult to distinguish one politician who is willing to send people to die for purely political reasons from another. That is what Trent Lott's comment really should be compared against. The bastards are all alike. All national level politicians have a propensity to be completely self-serving and the result is obvious.
Under what other circumstances could the so -called war on terror be considered successful when as of now more Americans have died in Iraq then on September 11th. How many sons of VPs of Halliburton are in Iraq right now on the ground in the Army carrying a gun? How do you spell zero?
That's what President Shrub's rating would be now if we had an educated thinking fair minded populace in this country now. Do you think fat boy Fallwell's kids are in the army?
I now know why, among other reasons, Cheney counldn't join the army--that dumb ass shoots his own friends because he is so careless. That crock of crap story he gave is just that. Most guys who swing a shot gun in a 270 degree arc over the heads of other hunters are promptly thrown off the ranch altogether.
Apparently good ole Dick couldn't spare time from his activities in Young Nazis'(Republican) club of Wyoming to participate in Boy Scouts and get some firearm safety training when he was a teenager. If he freaks out like he did tryiing to shoot a harmless bird think what the wuss might do if he had an AR-15(?) with a full clip and got excited.
Take care and see you soon.
Your friend,
John
Yesterday the Republican controlled Congress of the United States of America threw away the writ of habeas corpus, and made it legal for us to torture. Doesn't that make you proud as hell to be an American?
Listening to the radio today I heard a comment about a refrigerator magnet that the speaker purchased. It states "God Bless America doesn't mean God Damn Everyone Else".
