It appears Timmeh asked his unka Karl to buy him a chair in that big ol' house on that hill down the street, and unka Karl being the generous sort that he is - obliged.

I'm eternally grateful to Bud the Stud and his wife for refusing to be kicked after they'd been thrown to the curb.

I missed a blurb on TV about the astounding number of administration lawyers who got their education at a college run by, and named for, a televangelist. True? What number?

Louie, the number I remember reading is that there are 150 graduates of Pat Robertson's Regent University "law school" now working for Bush, most in what has now become the "Justice" Department.

I heard some of the same figures. It seems that right wing evangelicals have become very entrenched in our system. Not that I care, unless they are there to push their agenda.

The following link is from Capitol Hill Blue. It confirms many of the suspicions I've had about these people and their goals. Blackwater.

"Prosecuted means he handled those cases in one form or another." --Cherith Beck, Griffin's spokeswoman

Prosecuted, in this case, means "handled", not prosecuted.

Okay, I think I'm catching on.

Tom Cruise was able to get Jack Nicholson to confess in "A Few Good Men" and had never taken a case to trial. Given the age of most of these people it would be just about the right movie to have influenced their decisions.

Good point, 70%er...

This gives a whole new meaning to 'Timmeh and the Lords of the Underworld.'

By the crooks spokeswoman's standards, the nightly janitor "handled" the prosecutions too as he/she cleaned the desk each night. What low life, what lack of standards, lack of ethics, lack of morality. These sham people with sham "law degrees" from sham "universities" based on sham understandings of history have made this country into a feared laughing stock for the whole world. To have W go down to Blacksburg yesterday and pontificate over that horror when he has never attended a dead service member's funeral is just another sign of his deep seated mental illness. He has made our country into a hollow shell. We are devoid in our national government of those qualities that made us a fundamentally decent people. We cannot remove the plastic psychos fast enough.

A traffic accident involving the Governor of far off New Jersey isn't very important to us down here in Arkansas, but it points out that no one is telling the truth these days.

"CAMDEN, N.J., April 17 - In the seconds before Gov. Jon S. Corzine was critically injured in an accident last Thursday, the Chevrolet Suburban he was riding in was traveling 91 miles per hour, 26 m.p.h. over the posted speed limit, according to a crash data recorder retrieved from the vehicle."

Remember we were told the Governor's car wreck was caused by some redneck in a red pickup.....

"It now seems clear that Mr. Corzine's own vehicle was responsible for the crash: the pickup trucks were pulling over to the right to make way for the speeding motorcade, and when Mr. Potts swerved left from the shoulder to avoid hitting a signpost, the white pickup swerved to avoid hitting him, but collided with the Suburban."

In light of events in Virginia and 170 dead in Baghdad this morning, this traffic accident is minor. But how minor is it to lie to voters at about every turn? Can any politician tell the truth? This has been going on for years. I remember when Anwar Sadat was just fine and President Reagan was just fine....while being transported to the hospital with a bullet in him.

If we can't trust those in authority to tell the truth about a Governor going 91 mph to catch a meeting with Don Imus.....who or what can we trust? What a sad position we find ourselves in today. It's not Hollywood or gay marriage that's causing our misery....it's lying politicians in our government!

>It appears Griffin, he of the supposed great experience, has never take a prosecution to trial.<

Why does this not surprise me? New levels of contempt and incompetence are being set daily.

When a Bush religio-wacknut was given charge of hiring people to send to Paul Bremmer for the rebuilding of Iraq a 26 yr old true believer was chosen to guide the re development of their financial infrastructures. His only previous experience was selling radio ads.

This one reveals how far down in the dungeon he is:

"Griffin has indicated he will not submit himself to the Senate confirmation process. "I have made the decision not to let my name go forward to the Senate," he told the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. "I don't want to be part of that partisan circus." "

Like he isn't major player in a partisan circus already. Boy you're gonna be in history books on partisanism.

Maybe it should be the "Just-us" department. If you ain't with the "Christian" right, you ain't in the club.

just in case anybody missed this. click on name and see that another rethuglican may be going to jail, maybe as a couple. maybe they can have a cell together.
