Andrew Sullivan - mocked again

Cheney Indicted in Clearly Bogus Indictment; Sullivan Wets His Pants with Excitement
Filed under: General — Patterico @ 7:07 am

Yesterday, Andrew Sullivan wrote a post that said, in essence: ZOMG CHENEY FINALLY INDICTED I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG OH THERE IS A GOD!

Here is his entire post:

Cheney Indicted

For abuse of prisoners. And some don’t believe God exists.

Calm down, Excitable Andy. Let’s listen to what lefty Steve Benen says about this TREMENDOUS NEWS over at the Washington Monthly:

At first blush, the headline looked pretty extraordinary: “Texas Grand Jury Indicts Cheney, Gonzales on Charges Related to Prisons.” Wait, Dick Cheney’s been indicted? It sounded too good to be true, in large part because it is.
. . . .

The AP report noted that the indictments “have not yet been signed by the presiding judge, and no action can be taken on them until that happens.” And that, of course, is unlikely to ever happen.

The prosecutor in question is Willacy County District Attorney Juan Angel Guerra, who’s apparently developed a reputation for being something of a … how do I put this gently … legal eccentric. A lawyer for Democratic state Sen. Eddie Lucio, Jr., who is also charged in the Cheney/Gonzales indictment, called Guerra a “one man circus.”
. . . .

I don’t doubt there are many Bush administration detractors who’d be thrilled to see Cheney and Gonzales get indicted, but this probably isn’t a development to get excited about.
Unless you’re Andrew Sullivan, who takes as true any development unfavorable to Republicans, no matter how freaking wild it sounds.

This is why people mock you, Sullivan. Because you’re a shrieking, hysterical, gullible moron.
And that’s me pulling my punches.

FYI - Andrew Sullivan is a fucking idiot writer etc for various lefty outlets. Here's what the moron looks like. Yes, he's a homo but that doesn't really matter. And yes, people do mock him, for exactly this kind of idiocy.

Media says - Obama is "cool"

On Monday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith touted the latest issue of ‘GQ’ magazine, in which Barack Obama was named one of the publication’s ‘Men of the Year’: "As If being elected president isn't a high enough honor, Barack Obama is now the quintessential 'GQ' guy." Later, Smith talked to ‘GQ’ deputy editor Michael Hainey and asked: " Is there -- is -- do you have this little bit of a sense, can there be -- can a guy who's cool be President of the United States?" More at Newsbusters:

*Wretch - vomit - wretch. * "Hey, sheep - Obama is 'cool'" - got it? Jackasses?

Weddings

A young couple got married, and in their family, it was tradition that the best man dance with the bride for the first song. Well, this happened...but then they danced for the second song too. And the third. By the time the fourth song came on, the groom ran up and kicked the bride between the legs. A riot broke out, and all the invited guests were hauled off to jail.

In court the next week, the judge asked the best man what happened. ''Your honor, we were just dancing, and the groom ran up and kicked the bride between the legs.'' ''That must have hurt,'' said the judge. ''No kidding,'' said the best man. ''I broke three of my fingers.''

Back in 1929 Financial Crash it was said that some Wall Street Stockbrokers and Bankers JUMPED from their office windows and committed suicide when confronted with the news of their firms and clients financial ruin . . . Many people were said to almost feel a little sorry for them . . . . . .

In 2008 the attitude has changed somewhat:

Global warming - Hee Haw -- Hee Haw

This is going to cost you serious money.

Communists move to shut down foes

Barack Obama’s transition team has tapped former FCC Commissioner Henry Rivera, a longtime proponent of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," to head the team looking for the man or woman who will soon give Democrats a 3-to-2 advantage on the Federal Communications Commission.

It’s another troubling sign that Democrats are serious about trying to reinstate the long-defunct FCC regulation, which can more aptly be described as the "Censorship Doctrine" because of its chilling effect on free speech. In effect from 1949 to 1987, the Fairness Doctrine was an obstacle to open discussion of public policy issues on the radio; its removal in the Reagan years spawned the robust talk radio marketplace of ideas now enjoyed by millions.

While talk radio hosts often warned during the campaign that free speech could be trampled by an all-Democratic majority, the broadcast networks have failed to react to this dangerous threat to the First Amendment. A review shows the broadcast networks — whose affiliates could also be regulated — have failed to run even a single story mentioning the push for a new Fairness Doctrine.

By Rich Noyes of Newsbusters:

The funny part about the "Fairness Doctrine" is that it will ONLY affect the speech of those who disagree with the Democrats/Liberals ... commercially viable talk radio.

It won't affect liberal talk radio because they don't get enough ratings to support their "shows" so the government has to subsidize them. In other words, they won't lose their sponsors. Conservative talk radio will lose their sponsors as well as the support of the radio station's owners because it's too much trouble to do a radio show with a million knuckleheads demanding equal time.

Somehow, the "equal time/space" requirement won't apply to newspapers or television. Funny, huh?

Shut 'em down, dipshitocrats -- ensure the voices of your opposition are squelched. That's exactly what Hugo Chavez did in Venezuela and it's exactly what all the communists do with the media.

Government schools & Law enforcement

Years after being advised by a state agency to stop, the Dallas Independent School District continued to provide foreign citizens with fake Social Security numbers to get them on the payroll quickly.

Some of the numbers were real Social Security numbers already assigned to people elsewhere. And in some cases, the state's educator certification office unknowingly used the bogus numbers to run criminal background checks on the new hires, most of whom were brought in to teach bilingual classes.

The practice was described in an internal report issued in September by the district's investigative office, which looked into the matter after receiving a tip. The report said the Texas Education Agency learned of the fake numbers in 2004 and told DISD then that the practice "was illegal." More at dallasnews:

And who will be jailed for this? Let me guess ... NOBODY. Who will be fired for this? Let me guess again ... NOBODY. Because it's all perfectly ok, jackass. Legal, illegal -- what's the difference? LOL @ "we told them to stop." What a bunch of incompetent boobs.

We're Catholics - You will do as we tell you

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina Roman Catholic priest has told his parishioners that they should refrain from receiving Holy Communion if they voted for Barack Obama because the Democratic president-elect supports abortion, and supporting him "constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil."

The Rev. Jay Scott Newman said in a letter distributed Sunday to parishioners at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Greenville that they are putting their souls at risk if they take Holy Communion before doing penance for their vote.

"Our nation has chosen for its chief executive the most radical pro-abortion politician ever to serve in the United States Senate or to run for president," Newman wrote, referring to Obama by his full name, including his middle name of Hussein. More here:

Well now, right away I can see he's an asshole because he's one of those "three name" people. Hey ... "REVEREND" ... pipe down, homo.

MLK is a "brand" now

ATLANTA (AP) - Zealous guardians of his words and his likeness, the family of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. is demanding a share of the proceeds from the sudden wave of T-shirts, posters and other merchandise depicting the civil rights leader alongside Barack Obama.

Isaac Newton Farris Jr., King's nephew and head of the nonprofit King Center in Atlanta, said the estate is entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars in licensing fees - maybe even millions. (Non profit -- LMAO)

"Some of this is probably putting food on people's plates. We're not trying to stop anybody from legitimately supporting themselves," he said, "but we cannot allow our brand to be abused." The rest here:

Brand? And why do YOU own "the brand?" Because you were related to him? Making money off someone else's work ... way to go ... you must be so very proud. Hey, is Abraham Lincoln a "brand?" Jackass.

Another pic of Berkeley idiots

Another pic from the Zombie's page I posted yesterday.

These peeps just LOVE America, don't they? Real patriots.

Also, I stumbled upon a cogent comment from "The Protest Shooter." If you haven't been to his/her site, I recommend you check in from time to time.

Two thoughts…

For people who don’t know the area: The USMC office is clearly the place to be when you want to have a protest and there isn’t any kind of obvious place to put it. Everybody knows where it is, there’s good foot and car traffic, the sidewalk’s wide enough that you don’t have to worry about blocking it quite so much, there’s food in the area, parking’s not too bad, it’s right next to the BART station and the UC campus… pretty much the ideal location both for the Marines and the protesters.

And the second thought is that there’s no percentage in arguing with somebody with a bullhorn. Partially because they’re loud, and partially because the kind of people who own bullhorns aren’t good at listening.

And also one from this guy:
Yashmak on Nov 12, 2008 at 11:57 am:
You can’t teach idiots to stop being an idiots. Why not? Because they’re idiots.

And I'll add one more thing. Who in the hell can afford to do these "protests" constantly? Who can afford to buy these costumes and bullhorns etc? Are they getting paid? Is this their job? The Klown says "aye."

Hamas, a lovely charitable organization

At some point, we might want to ask if there are any Islamic charities who aren’t financing Hamas: US cracks down on Islamic charity.

WASHINGTON – The Bush administration acted Wednesday against an Islamic charity suspected of helping to bankroll Hamas, the militant Palestinian group that the United States considers an international terrorist organization.

The Treasury Department’s action against the Union of Good means that any bank accounts or other financial assets belonging to the charity found in the United States will be frozen. Americans also are barred from making donations to the group, which the U.S. government alleged was created by leaders of Hamas to transfer money to Hamas. From Little Green Footballs. (Except I found the pic on Google images.)

Hamas? A Terrorist Organization?

This from CNN:

“Barack Obama's foreign policy plans have even won him praise from Hamas leaders,” writes McCain deputy campaign manager Christian Ferry. “Ahmed Yousef, chief political adviser to the Hamas Prime Minister said, ‘We like Mr. Obama and we hope he will win the election. He has a vision to change America.’”

Is it possible to get lower than this guy?

Rep. William Jefferson faces the following conundrum: He’s accused of bribery, racketeering and other charges as part of an alleged involving payments to family controlled businesses in return for his help winning contracts, mostly in Western Africa. (Our favorite detail: investigators reportedly found $90,000 in cash in Jefferson’s home freezer). And now this: Today, in a written opinion, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals refused Jefferson’s request to throw out most of the 16 corruption charges, setting the stage for a trial in 2009. Here’s a report from the Times-Picayune.

I love how these criminal bastards like to hide behind the speech and debate clause for every little thing. Know what I mean, John Murtha ... hiding from a lawsuit about your defamation of the US Marines. Dirty rat bastard.

And the complete morons of Jefferson's constituency in Louisiana just reelected him. I mean, how can you get that damn stupid?

Gee, I wonder if the dipshitocrats, Pelosi and Reid, will be calling for his ouster after his conviction ... you know .. like they are for the Republican Senator Stevens of Alaska. Of course, I doubt Stevens will be reelected - they're still counting votes, but he's behind.

Heeeerrrrrrrrrrrrre SHE IS!

This is the lady that killed herself outside of Paula Abdul's the other day. Does she call Paula Abdul, "Paula Abdula?" The Klown is calling "Whack job."

Compliments of striking Wombat.

MEDICARE COVERAGE IN A NUTSHELL

The phone rings, and the lady of the house answers, 'Hello' 'Mrs. Sanders, please' 'Speaking.' 'Mrs. Sanders, this is Doctor Jones at Saint Agnes Laboratory. When your husband's doctor sent his biopsy to the lab last week, a biopsy from anotherMr. Sanders arrived as well. We are now uncertain which one belongs to your husband. Frankly, either way the results are not too good.' 'What do you mean?' Mrs. Sanders asks nervously. 'Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's, and the other one tested
positive for HIV. We can't tell which is which.' 'That's dreadful! Can you do the test again?' questioned Mrs. Sanders. 'Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time.' 'Well, what am I supposed to do now?' 'The folks at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere inthe middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.'

Facts and History? Pipe down, Uncle Tom

They have a say in your lives

On Election day, twelve Obama voters were interviewed extensively right after they voted to learn how the news media impacted their knowledge of what occurred during the campaign. These voters were chosen for their apparent intelligence/verbal abilities and willingness to express their opinions to a large audience. The rather shocking video seeks to provide some insight into which information broke through the news media clutter and which did not.

Here is your average American. Makes you proud, doesn't it? It also speaks volumes about the power wielded by the American media. People like this should have to end all of their sentences with "baaaaaa."

WTF is wrong with peeps?

STAMFORD - A janitor at the Stamford train station was charged Thursday with secretly videotaping at least 16 women in a bathroom stall with a cell phone taped to a roll of toilet paper.

Felicitos Gonzalez, 41, of 1 Division St., Apartment R, Stamford, was arrested by Metropolitan Transportation Authority police at his home a block away from the train station Wednesday.

Gonzalez' arrest by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority came after a 21-year-old woman used the ladies bathroom near the Dunkin' Donuts on the main floor of the train station late in the evening on Nov. 1, Gonzalez' arrest warrant says.

When the woman picked her book bag up off the floor, she tipped over a red plastic waste basked that contained five or six toilet paper rolls, she told police. As she picked up the rolls to place them back in the basket, one of the rolls felt heavy and started to beep, the warrant states. The rest here:

Aside from the fact that he's a whack-job, who is going to be punished for hiring an illegal alien? Let me guess - NOBODY. Way to go, ICE and other enforcement agencies, fucking idiots.

Also, what kind of pleasure can you derive from a blurry picture of an ass sitting on a toilet seat? Why not just rent a dvd? Sheesh.

Government interference works well again

(AP) Britain is facing a sperm donor shortage after reversing confidentiality laws and limiting the number of women who can use sperm from one donor, fertility experts warned Wednesday.

Britain in 2005 changed the law protecting anonymous sperm donors and allowed children to learn the identity of donor fathers - one reason, fertility experts say, there are fewer donors now.

In France, sperm donation is anonymous and the government covers donors' expenses but the country still faces a sperm shortage. France registered 248 sperm donors in 2006, according to the country's Agency of Biomedicine - a level an official there said was not enough to supply demand. From CBS:

"To worry that someone might come and see you, that something might happen? That's a long way in the future," said Jackson. "I thought maybe I (could) do something to make a difference."

Yes, I'd like to see that expense report. And when it comes back to haunt Jackson, he'll say, "I wasn't worried cuz it was JUNE then." (Reference to a Richard Prior routine about the voodoo lady.)

Good ol' Berkeley

Found this video at Zombie's page: The video may have been made by "The Daily Californian, but I'm not sure. Anyway, there's plenty more at that link, along with the usual sublime commentary from the Zombie. I love him/her.

You know, I used to live in Berkeley, and I encountered this kind of crap all the time. If not in Berkeley then just across the bay in San Francisco when my business took me over there.

At the time, I viewed it with great amusement ... like a little street show or something. If I was busy, I'd just keep going with my business, but if I wasn't, I'd stop to watch for a while ... the peeps hollering at each other and so forth ... take a seat on a bench or lean up against a wall, nibble on my waffle cone (or whatever) and just watch.

The whole time thinking, "these peeps are out of the twilight zone, out of a hippie time long gone ... and yet, here they are, entertaining me for free ... what a great place to live ... a blessing from God that all the idiot whack-jobs are centrally located for my benefit." Of course, if I had guests in town, they always got a HUGE kick out of it.
