      1. Sorry Libertad, should I have copied and pasted 50 articles and 75 youtube clips onto the open thread to be more in line with your way of doing things?

        Besides, I thought I was being funny. Maybe I was being a little too dry for you.

        Here: FART, BURP< POOP! ROTFLMAO! HEHEHEHE

        Better?

        1. which takes in nightly doses of Maddowist audio and visual tapes and then generates the thoughts in your mind that you call your own.

          Isn’t that funny, maybe too dry for you, huh?

          Seriously as to the speeches.

          Negatives: Obama droned on about the past like a Monday morning QB. Cheney droned on about past, but then again it was his welcome speech at AEI and he is a really boring speaker.

          Positives: Cheney reminded us (in great detail) of their principles and why things occurred as they did. Obama put us on notice that his principles will involve undefined and indefinite detention for those viewed as a danger to the US, but he wants to close GTMO.

          1. Rachel Maddow is not only really smart, she is also homosexual….it may be catching……

            you should stick to hannity….or is cowardice also contagious?

            1. Do you feel that being a homosexual is a disease?


              she is also homosexual….it may be catching

              What’s up with you, why so mean spirited?

                1. Ralphie, I’m stunned you are not disappointed in dwyer? Dwyer called out Maddow has a homosexual and suggested its a disease; isn’t this a really sick form of bigotry?

          1. Been trying since 7:30 a.m. this morning. Kept saying that I lost the connection.

            It’s nice to be back on! It’s running great now and no problems pulling it up.  

    1. even mildly criticize Cheney on the record.  They all know, no matter how much of a pain Darth Cheney may be for them, if they say anything even vaguely critical they’ll have to go kiss Limbaugh’s ring (or worse) just like they must do after criticizing the Big Fat Head himself.

      1. It’ll be just like before, with “The Face” out front, and the “The Puppetmaster” pulling the string behind the scenes.

        What could possibly go wrong?

  1. (CNN) – Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge told CNN former Vice President Dick Cheney’s repeated charge the Obama administration has made the country less safe is wrong.

    “Yeah, I disagree with Dick Cheney,” the Pennsylvania Republican and former Bush administration official told CNN’s John King, adding he “does not” think the country is more vulnerable to an attack under President Obama.



    In the interview with CNN, set to air in full on State of The Union with John King Sunday, Ridge said he disagrees with “the approach both men are taking.”

    “It’s just the whole notion of a Republican vice president giving a speech after the incumbent Democratic president,” he said. “It’s gotta go beyond the politics of either party.”

    Ridge is dead on in his comments–though I think Obama was forced to make political attacks by Cheney giving a counter-point speech at the same time he was giving his. At least some Republicans have the courage to stand up to the party CW and call out Darth when he oversteps his bounds.

    Expect Rush Limbaugh to demand that Ridge immediately apologize for having the audacity to speak the truth.

    1. because he’s off the Limbaugh island anyway. Not willing to talk crazy enough. Not much chance for national advancement in the soon to be phone booth sized GOP,    

      1. It was people like Rush that kept him from getting the nod for the veep nomination. I bet that McCain/Ridge would have appealed to a lot more indies than McCain/Palin did and made it a much closer race. I lost a lot of respect for McCain after he picked Palin. My respect would have increased had he picked Ridge. Not that I would have switched my vote, but I think it would have changed the votes of some indies I know.

    1. Certainly not What-recession-I’m-doing-great Limbaugh.   Staying in touch with his 20 percenters is all he needs to stay fat and happy.  Since the GOP is  driving everyone else away and pretty much only has the Rush demo left, he also gets all the ass kissing and media attention his ego requires.  GOP in the toilet?  For Rush, it’s all good.

  2. David Sirota is logged in right now, which probably means he’s posting a diary as I’m writing this.

    Maybe it’ll be a well-reasoned, factual, non-self-promoting piece of award-worthy journalism.

    And maybe I’ll win Powerball on Saturday.

  3. http://voices.washingtonpost.c

    The problem is Chris Cillizza hasn’t really updated his info.  He’s still treating Both Ways as a serious candidate (most of those of us in Colo. stopped doing that in early Oct. ’06), and he makes no mention of that GOP powerhouse, Ken Buck.

      1. ….but based on the questioning at oral arguments, my guess is that they will reluctantly uphold Prop 8.  

          The good news is that it will be repealed in the next few years.  Besides, California may be holding a const. convention, will re-write the state const. and will leave the ban out.

  4. from CNN

    Some 25,000 women pilots applied, and 1,830 were accepted. They had to pay their own way to Texas for 21 to 27 weeks of rigorous training, for which they received less pay than the male cadets in the same program, Parrish said.



    Depending on the base, they did everything from participating in ground-to-air anti-aircraft practice; towing targets for air-to-air gunnery practice with live ammunition; flying drones; conducting night exercises; testing repaired aircraft before they were used in cadet training; serving as instructors; and transporting cargo and male pilots to embarkation points.
