john robert boynton: Political/Political Humorlicentious radio(Untitled)- October 5, 2003 If you were inclined to be fair to Bush, the hoopla over so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction is quite irrelevant. While Bush lied repeatedly about Iraq's weapons in order to gain support for his war, the true justification didn't rely on those lies at all. Bush's true justification for conquering Iraq is his "pre-emptive strike" doctrine. According to this doctrine, Bush is entitled to conquer any country, entirely at his own whim. We aren't supposed to question Bush's judgement. We are...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/05.html#a2119 (Untitled)- October 5, 2003 Host at Schwarzenegger rally: "Who's the guy with the LA Times Find him and beat him up, will you"http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/05.html#a2118 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 Big corporations.... They don't hire American workers. They don't pay American taxes. All they do is sell their products here, and move the profits to off-shore accounts. (That's the trend.) We're going to have to find a way to protect the quality of employment, or our economy will spiral down as too many people are forced into low-wage service jobs that don't pay enough to buy all these products. And if the corporations refuse to pay taxes, and the workers don't earn enough money to pay...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2117 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 So it looks like DICK Cheney's Chief of Staff is the prime culprit in the Wilson-gate affair. Makes you wonder how there could be so much buzz about Rove. The fun thing would be if the reason Bush knew it wasn't Rove is that he knew it was out of Cheney's office. Suspicion centers on Lewis Libby (from Salon.com).http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2116 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 "I know that the people of California can see through this trash politics. "Let me tell you something, let me tell you something: A lot of those that you see in the stories is not true, but at the same time, I have to tell you that I always say, that wherever there is smoke, there is fire. That is true. "So I want to say to you, yes, that I have behaved badly sometimes. Yes, it is true that I was on rowdy movie sets and I have done things that were not right which I thought then was playful...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2115 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 "An outraged President Bush immediately demanded the names of those responsible for exposing Ms. Plame. He repeated his father's statement that 'those who betray the trust by exposing the names of our sources' are 'the most insidious of traitors.' There are limits to politics, Mr. Bush declared; Mr. Wilson's decision to go public about his mission had embarrassed him, but that was no excuse for actions that were both felonious and unpatriotic. "Everything in the previous paragraph is, of...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2114 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 People don't say this enough: Joe Wilson is a hero. When Saddam Hussein threatened westerners as hostages during the first Bush Gulf War, Joe Wilson's courageous personal acts kept them safe. Smearing Wilson is even more despicable than most RovianRepublican smears.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2113 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 Schwarzenegger actually apologized for offending people. That is, he didn't apologize for touching women's bodies or making sexually explicit remarks, but rather for how people feel about what he did. Most people are sloppy about apologies and responsibility, but when the whole world is watching, it's time to be precise. Schwarzenegger surely has the best Republican writers and best Republican strategists that money can buy. He should not get a pass for sloppiness. Rather, we should demand...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2112 (Untitled)- October 4, 2003 Bob Novak had just better shut up entirely. His "counsel" told him not to comment on some aspects of the Wilson case, but he shoved his foot up his own derrier again, anyway. Novak implied that Mrs. Wilson violated campaign finance laws by listing a fake company as her employer. The fake company, it turns out, was a CIA front company. If any bad-guys were trying to figure out how much damage Wilson had done to their cause, Novak just publicized a big piece of their research. Thanks, Bob, you.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/04.html#a2111 (Untitled)- October 3, 2003 "He apologized, and that's courageous." --Maria I say the way Schwarzenegger apologized was cowardly, not courageous. Apologize for specific incidents... that would be appropriate and, in fact, courageous. But to accuse some of the women of lying, and then apologize for the incidents that weren't lies, that is cowardly.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/politicalPoliticalHumor/2003/10/03.html#a2109 |
