The Rant & Vent about the Right Wing thread

[mshray]

This is the most amazing, damning video you've probably ever seen.  Cheney before he was VP, explaining why Bush Sr. didn't invade Iraq.  

Wait until the last thing he says.

From Ray Ratto's column in today's Chron:

"It's All About the Sourcing: Jane Skinner of Fox News Channel apparently was the first to break the Michael Vick plea story. Jane Skinner is married to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell"

If you can watch the video under his picture, please do so. It's most appalling and contradictory.

Saw another variant on this: "Bedtime for Gonzo."

What a fricking relief.  This administration has been nothing but one menace after another, and I'm glad to witness the dismantling of it.  Would have preferred wholesale to gradual, but I'll take what I can get.

over at hollywood-elsewhere.com, the moderator quoted Yeats ("things fall apart, the center cannot hold") and someone else said the Bush admin was more like a bad limerick than a great poem. So a third party came up with this:

"There once was a man from Crawford
Who could have outdrank Peter Lawford
He dried up his drink
But forgot how to think
And had the worst war plan ever offered"

You may have heard the story this week about Ted Nugent, at one of his concerts, saying that Hilary and Obama should "suck on" the business end of a machine gun.  Well, turns out ol' gun-lovin' Ted is another draft-dodging chickenhawk:

Time's "Swampland" blog, which I've really gotten into in recent weeks, ihas an entertaining discussion on Sen. Larry Craig (R., Idaho), who was busted for trying to get his swerve on in an airport restroom:

One commenter offered this genuis limerick:

The Senator from Idaho
Went to restrooms to come, not to go.
Said he, "I'm no nance
It was only my stance
That made some cop think I da ho."

Ha! -- it's been a good week for limericks.  Apparently (per Wonkette) he's been outed (and denied being gay) before.  And speaking of,  White House Press-credentialed manwhore Jeff Gannon has a book coming out this fall; scuttlebutt is that he's outing Karl Rove, among others.

(a) I don't believe anything he says. But if this is true, then

(b) WTF WAS/IS HE WAITING FOR???
