Hey Cindy McCain... How proud of America are you today?

This raises the likelihood that some stories I know to be in the works will see the light of day.<<

Okay then likely Huckem knows about the stories too. L.R. is a small town.

ARK. BLOG: Yep.

Sleaze on both sides of the aisle. I'm going to write in the ticket of Cato and Jim Kendall. Either them, or Rush L. and Rev. Al Sharpton. Hillary's done. Get her a job in the Democrat newsroom where she can be appreciated.

Yeah, that Rezko stuff is just horrible. The sellers of Obama's house have reported that the Obamas engaged in the questionable tactic of negotiating by making a series of escalating offers. Incredibly sleazy stuff.

You know, if bloggers were making mention of Clinton and some sleazy supporter who was indicted, Clinton supporters would cry foul, complete with blubbering about vast right-wing conspiracies. If having ties to a person who is later indicted--and in this case, not yet convicted--is a disqualification for the presidency, Clinton herself is in loads of trouble:

And those are just the recent ones.

Doesn't Clinton have sleazy allies too?

Oh me.....I haven't liked John McCain for years because of his voting record. He and old Jesse Helms are neck and neck in the most rightwing voting seen since FDR slumped in his chair. The Bush Hug was the final straw for me.

I personally don't care if he was schtupping the lady lobbyist. Good for him! He McCain't seem to raise his own arms, but he can still get them wrapped around a 40 year old woman. Good for him! Monogamy ain't everything it's cracked up to be and if every cheater turned green tomorrow, it would be a green green country.

I gots me a penis, so I can't speak for the women folk, but since the first caveman wound up with 1 more animal hide than his neighbor, powerful men have been attracted to pretty women who are not their wife. Power makes us horny. Money makes us horny. Fame makes us horny. And when a man has all 3 of those things it nearly every time makes him a chick magnate too. So why is it so surprising when we find out that a prominent man has been fly fishing with his own fly?

FDR did it. Eisenhower did it. JFK did it. Johnson did it. Nixon did it. Jimmy Carter lusted in his heart. George Herbert Walker Bush had sex with that old sow and produced a killer-idiot which is worse than cheating on 39 wives. And Bill Clinton did also dood it. We've yet to find out why Jeff Gannon/Guckert spent over 200 nights IN the White House, so the ding-dong daddy of them all may turn out to be George W. Bush.

Sex happens....at least until you're 2 or 3 years younger than I am currently. We all got here by way of sex. Most of us are probably sitting on personal stories that would explode Max's server if we started sharing out loud. So let us dislike McCain for his hypocrisies and unfitness for the Oval Office and not because at one point before his nethers withered away he plunked his package on a younger woman who has a jones for powerful men.

This is dangerous business cause the Swiftboating of Barack Obama is just now underway and no one knows fer sure if he's kept his Audacity of Hope in his pants every night since 1992 or not. And with Huckabee's ego, his vast sense of entitlement, and the looks of his wife, can we be so damn sure his Crimson Darth Vader has ever only dueled with Janet?

That would leave Hillary Rodham Clinton as the only sure enough electable Presidential candidate we got. And I know how well that sits with a lot of ya's. So let is be said, from this day forward, unless it is rape or involves a child, let no one's private sex life have a bearing on who or how we vote!

Now.....jazzy...tell me more about this little ole fear of lightening you got......and tell me, do Frenchy ever go out of town...hmmmmm

The key to this story isn't the sex it's the favors he might have done for companies his girlfriend represented in front of the committee he chaired. It ties in with the Keating 5 scandal. It can be presented as a lifetime of shady political dealings by McCain.

Oh Happy Day!!!! Lordy, I've missed sex in my white house for these almost 8 years.
I want to read and hear every day, for the next 4-8 years, about blow jobs, semen all over
the place, cigars, missionary style, dog style, spoon style, figure 9 style,,,,whatever turns
one on. I don't care, I want sex in the private qts, oval office, Lincoln bedroom, Washington
bedroom, FDR bedroom, JFK swimming pool, Blue Room, North, south, east, west room, steps
of capitol, cloakroom...............
give me sex over death in Iraq any day of the week.
Good lord, we know why all repub women look so uptight, wound too tight, face painted on in
a fake smile, tits uplifted in a Playtex 18 hour bra, ass sqeezed into a life threatning girdle,
well, maybe not Jethrine.
Dem women let it all hang out, bounce, jiggle, wiggle
Poor repub women like Laura and her turkey baster to get preggy, they will never know
passion married to pretend *men.*

Oh the Lynching of Obama has already started per KO tonight..he said Billo is using the term now. Of course it was an intentional use of the word by Billo..but MSNBC's Schuster who is 99.9 percent of the time a class act of a reporter remains under suspension while Billo is not only on air but probably praised for saying such things.

Molly Ivins, the late liberal political columnist who famously nicknamed George W. Bush "Shrub" back in the day, said it best: "Never underestimate the ability of the Democrats to screw up."

The Democratic Party has its best chance in a generation to remake the political landscape and become our nation's majority party once more--with dominance of the White House and both houses of Congress-- and it is seriously in jeopardy of pissing it all away and paving the way for John McCain to take the oath of office as the 44th President on Jan. 20, 2009.

A few observations:

1) The Clintons have run a generally lousy campaign. They seriously underestimated Obama and generally behaved as if the primaries were a five-month coronation ball. The clumsy attempts to marginalize Obama as the "black candidate" may turn out to be the 2008 campaign's "macaca" moment.

2) Obama has run a generally good campaign--aided and abetted, it must be said, by press coverage decidely biased in his favor and decidedly anti-Hillary Clinton. The Clintons did themselves few favors with the press, but still. Obama has gotten an essentially free ride.

3) The whining about superdelegates "reflecting the will of their voters" is absurd. First of all, the party rules are the party rules. Superdelegates vote their conscience, period. One superdelegate who switched sides from Clinton to Obama cited the fact that his congressional district voted for Obama (overwhelmingly) instead of Clinton. The idea that members of Congress should always vote exactly as their constituents wish without thinking for themselves is absurd. If the superdelegates put Clinton over the top, so be it. If the superdelegates put Obama over the top, so be it. There is nothing in the party rules that states the winner must have a majority of primary delegates. If this process is flawed, change the rules for the 2012 race.

4) As long as the race is still tight--until Clinton or Obama capture the requisite number of delegates to win the nomination--calls for either candidate to drop out of the race are premature. This is not the same as Mike Huckabee defending his staying in the race--he has no mathematical chance of winning the nomination.

5) The rancor and bitterness demonstrated by many supporters on both sides is disappointing. Hillary Clinton is not entitled to the nomination because of her last name, but neither is Barack Obama entitled to the nomination because of his inspiring oratory.

6) A "unity ticket" of Clinton-Obama or Obama-Clinton should be seriously considered. A combination of inspiration and experience. So what if they can't stand each other? A Democratic victory in November demands some personal sacrifices.

If the losing candidate doesn't get a place on the ticket, it seems mighty feasible at this point that the loser's supporters (especially Obama's, given their "drop out, you bitch" attitude in recent days) will sulk and stay home. Which is the perfect scenario to enable a certain 72-year-old right winger to cruise into the White House and hatch his plans to keep us in Iraq for the next 100 years.

Oh and let's not forget that John McCain was romantically involved with Cindy while he was still married to his first wife. In fact, he and Cindy were married barely a month after his divorce to his first wife.

So, he has a history of shady dealings with lobbyist and other business people, AND he's an adulterer.

Sounds like the perfect Republican.

"I'm going to write in the ticket of Cato and Jim Kendall."

Wait a cotton pickin' minute, Louie. I can't speak for Mr. Kendall but I am pretty doggoned sleezy myself. Although I am an elected official (Justice of the Peace), I throw my wages received from the local county treasury around pretty freely at the race track. My check is $32.00 every month and I buy booze and two dollar tickets and try to impress the hussies at the track with my wild spending. Now I want you to know the best trick I have is when a longshot comes in I scream and yell just like I have a hundred on the nose and that really impresses them!

And here is something really scandalous: I sometimes would sit with Mrs. Clinton (Bill's mother, of course) when she made her frequent visits to Satan's lair. I was hoping stories would get started on us but nothing ever came of it. I usually left moping. Fame is fickle. So don't put me on any ticket of any kind. I ain't mad at nobody and I don't want nobody mad at me!

Small niggardly little point, Gaddis. Since when is "recent" eight years ago?

It isn't near proved...but it isn't near denied, either. From TalkingPointsMemo.com"

"U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today issued the following statement by Communications Director Jill Hazelbaker:
"'It is a shame that the New York Times has lowered its standards to engage in a hit and run smear campaign. John McCain has a 24-year record of serving our country with honor and integrity. He has never violated the public trust, never done favors for special interests or lobbyists, and he will not allow a smear campaign to distract from the issues at stake in this election.

"'Americans are sick and tired of this kind of gutter politics, and there is nothing in this story to suggest that John McCain has ever violated the principles that have guided his career.'"

Hear hear, DBI. Maybe we could start a public campaign asserting that we don't care to know about any sexual indiscretion (unless it involves a celebrity or they've got something interesting for us to try at home) and so the media needn't bother trying to dig up any old girlfriends or boyfriends.

Another hear hear to Muckraker. I generally agree with all of your points; although, I'm more optimistic that Democrats will eventually rally around whoever gets the nomination. Oh sure, there will be a few weeks where the supporters of the losing candidate will write angry, bitter things about the winning candidate and throw out the occasional "don't come crying to me when we lose in November." However, I think people will eventually put their egos aside and realize we've got too much to lose by having another Republican in the White House.

***PS -- The more I think about this story, the more it ticks me off. It's innuendo, period. Throw out the personal relationship and focus on the business deals and then you have a perfectly acceptable story about McCain preaching one thing and doing another (an old story). When they tell you this story isn't about the sex .... it's about the sex. Which isn't near proved, by the way.***
Posted by Max Brantley

But Max, "an old story?" There is an even older story here that attracts people's attention.

DBI,,Frenchy goes to Montreal every summer for 10 days, call me, same number Durango
gave me 1-800-I'm on fire.
My fear of lightning stems from using a battery powered big purple dildo............
my hubby is a deacon in FBC and we can't afford the headlines and embarrassement of
being shown the door.
You might just be the one to help me over my fear of fake purple peni, I can only hope,,,,
Lord, its been a monkey on my back for way too long.

I really don't give a rat's ass if McCain was having sex with a willing adult. Who cares?
If she got special treatment, or rather the companies she lobbied for got special treatment, then I do care about that. Evidence seems pretty slim.
All that aside, McCain is batshit crazy and we don't need another nut in the White House.

Well, at least it was with an adult....and the opposite sex. That's something in the GOP these days.

Jazzy -

Consider yourself closing in (and it's just February!) on the Next Kathy Griffin Award!

Tell it, girl!

Where is Chasv, screaming about McCain's evil sins? Who will McCain need to fear more now, God or the Devil, Chasv?

Jazzy, you must be married to a much younger man......I have seen your posts about your in-laws, so I know they are still alive.
How old is your hubby? Mine is 10 years younger than me. Smart women marry younger men, LOL.

Muckraker..........LOL..."A Democratic victory in November demands some personel sacrificies"
we need to foward that little gem to Barack and Hillary's campaign managers!!!
Jazzy, I'm with you sex is so much more interesting than dead soldiers.
VOTE DEMOCRATIC!!!!

Norma Bates, what is the Kathy Griffin award????? Who the hell is K. Griffin????
Should I be amazed, thrilled, waiting by the phone, call 9-11, load up cd's and get Fennchy
out of bed to dance with me or;
be depressed, made fun of, dejected, consider suicide, death by cop commiting robbery of
a Dunkin Donut shop?????????????
Ohhhh, why did you do this to me?????? Lets get back to sex, don't nominate me for any
award, as LBJ said, *I will not run, nor accept,* blah, blah, blah

Okay, Jazzy. Fess up. You really ARE Kathy Griffin who's pretending NOT to be Kathy Griffin because you don't want to be caught contributing to the A-T blog since you are an A-List LA comic pretending to be on the D-List because . . . oh, hell. I'm exhausted.

Just revel in the moment. You are nominated for the A-T 2008 Next Kathy Griffin Award. Accept graciously.

Unless you're really Kathy Griffin. Then, cut loose, girl!

BLUE Ridge, my darling is 7 years older,,,,my first was 13 years my senior.....
I've been lookin for a daddy all my life..........You go girl, 10 years younger is about right,
females reach sexual peak in 40's, 50's, 60's, after child bearing age, males in teens and 20's,
crazy huh???
My darling is second of 8 in his family, in a small village north of Montreal, where his father
was mayor for many years. He still has 2 brothers and 2 sisters, none of which speak very
much english, and me with my poor cajun french, makes for many laughs in this house.

Since the thread rolled off, I need to report that our troublesome city directory who looks somewhat like Vicki Iseman, resigned this afternoon.

So let's review, 1 City Administrator suddenly retired, 3 of the 7 City Directors now resigned, 1 suspended Chief of Police reinstated. I've been told a bushel of threatening email and phone calls will be investigated as they should. Whew! Who said it wasn't exciting to live in Fort Baptist?

Does LR have any honest, intelligent folks who'd like to relocate and work in city government over here on the left side of the state?

OK , I accept,,,but, WHO THE HELL IS KATHY GRIFFIN???????????????
Someone please tell me, its 12:06 a.m. and I'm falling asleep on the keyboard..............
if I fall over and damage/ruin my computer will you miss me?????
I'm gonna google K. Griffin

Another McCain love affair.

K, Jazzy / Kathy. If ever we needed evidence that you, perhaps, have "medication" issues, it's falling asleep on your keyboard and accidentally banging your head on the "Post" icon, resulting in the reviled "double-posting."

Rehab immediately, Sweetness, at Promises. Malibu. $40,000 / month. Just saying.

But please don't let sobriety ruin your politically acute humour. That's why you've officially been nominated for the A-T Next Kathy Griffin Award.

Yes, Jazzy / Kathy: Google is always a good idea.

So is YouTube.

But we're already pretty sure you're really Kathy Griffin.

Now.

Back to McCain's adultery and sex life. Because, seriously: nothing is more important to America's future than that and Brangelina.

A violent rage-aholic (admitted even by his own party) old cheater, with sordid ties to Big Bidness and now a relatively nubile woman lobbyist (in whose interests he voted)? Flying all over the place together at taxpayer expense?

"We're just good friends."

Buying that one, Cindy? You both lied about your ages when you met. You said you were younger than your 24. McCain said he was younger than his 42. There's an 18 year age-gap between you.

Fine.

Now there's a 31 year age-gap between McCain and lobbyist Vicki Iseman. That would place McCain back at age 40 or thereabouts, where he seems to be sexually stuck.

Get in here with me, Jazzy / Kathy girl.

We all know wonderful girls who, at 24, go for 42 year old men. And then we know women who are 40 going for 71 year old men.

And we love it because we're all about seeing everybody get what they want.

I just hope Vicki's kept towels with McCain's DNA evidence for her inevitable National Enquirer exclusive and book sale.

I mean, and this is from the bottom of my heart, Jazzy / Kathy, McCain is The Man!

Yet, one ponders, should McCain expire in, let us say, a moment of indiscretion and we get Mike Huckabee as President . . . well, I . . . I know I've got some latex appliances in one of these drawers somewhere . . .

Ever notice the resemblence between McCain and Cotton from "King of the Hill"?

/click name

OK, just googled K. Griffin,,,,,,,,,,,,,never heard of her, need to pay more attention, but
that is not my interest.

Holy shiite. Bay Buchanan, of all people, is confirming the McCain story? Yes. She is.

Cindy, honey, four words from the immortal Tammy Wynette: "Stand By Your Man."

Look. I hope hubby McCain lives to be older than Methusala (900+ years). I also hope cows fly.

All's I know is you and McCain cheated on his first wife and now he's apparently cheating on you, according to the NYT. I'm SO shocked.

Bright side? You'll get hubby's generous government pension.

Did I mention, Botoxed and beautiful, that your hubby's political career is over?

Without suggesting that there has been any impropriety between these two staunch Republicans, I do want to make one observation about Ms. Iseman. When I look into her eyes and face, she certainly would fit the bill as a dominatrix all dressed in leathery black outfits, snapping a little whip across gloved palms and saying stuff like:

"If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you!" or

"You've been a naughty boy! Go to my room!!!"

P.S. This is a special note:
(1) One of the best POW movies ever made, King Rat, shows today at 4:30 on one of those odd channels you get with cable. Personally, I think it's better than that River Kwai film.
(2) To help cure the blahs, do a video search on boogie woogie piano man "Silvan Zingg." Guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here's a message I sent all my friends aout him:

Silvan Zingg has become my new favorite boogie woogie piano player. It lifts my spirits every time I hear and watch these videos of his performances. He also has an official website where his music plays non-stop (at least it's always going when I check in there....).Here's some of his clips:

1) Great dancing with this one..... (You can click on my blue name for this one!)

LOL...oh my, this blog is funnier than the Simpsons (my funny standard). And...WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? It's like someone turned the media loose on Obama/McCain. Guess it's a byproduct of Hillary's burial...all that freed-up time. Guess when Huck is the only one standing he'll be anointed as our Savior...and I can throw out the TV and fight 24/7 with hubby over him trying to haul us to Canada, or New Zealand...or anywhere that's not a backwards theocracy and has health-care for ALL its people. (But I'm NOT going anywhere except to the streets to take my country back!)

At least McCain styled his gal pal after his current wife (that should comfort Cindy ha). But I really don't give a damn about whether anyone other than my hubby is screwing around. It's a safe bet that neither Huck nor Janet has dallied with others...and I'll still take the 'sins' of a womanizer over the self-righteous, greedy, hypocritical, Bible-spouting Preacher Huck...any day. As long as it's legal/consensual I don't care whether the 'professionals' I hire are screwing around or not...as long as they're good at the job I hired them for I'm happy. Like jazzy...I'd be thrilled to have sperm, once again, flying throughout the White House instead of bullets/bombs in Iraq and the constant shredding of our Constitution.

In general, this country needs to come to grips with sex...needs to accept sex as great, normal and desirous...needs to shake off those Puritanical binders that leave people all twisted up 'cause everything they were taught about sex conflicts with everything they naturally 'feel' about sex. And there is no one group that is more twisted sexually than Republicans...and look at the gems that Party is producing...damn.

Seems like the popular statement for earlier over-sexed politicans was that the consensual sex life of a president (or in this case wannabe) was just a personal matter - and as long as it didn't affect his job performance, his lack of marital integrity should remain a personal, private matter.

Has something changed here?

Has something changed here? -- Posted by: Don Keyhotay

It changed with Clinton. That set a new precedent.

DK, the old adage about people living in glass houses not needing to throw stones probably applies here. Although the Repubs started it with their venom and vengeance against Clinton, it seems like both sides are fully engaged in the melee now.
I think it reveals more about the electorate than it does about those seeking election. In a country where many people wear their religious feelings on their sleeves ( if not stamped upon their foreheads) and where we have everything to fear, including fear itself, then this titillating tabloid mentality passes for political analysis and election news.
Politics has become the ultimate reality show contest and it includes key elements from all the ones produced by television, especially "Are You Smarter Thasn a 5th Grader?!"

P.S. Checked out today's paper and "King Rat" shows on TCM at 4:30 p.m. Record it, if you can't see it today, and watch later. It'll be worth it.

DK,

Does that mean we can haul Asa out of retirement and start impeachment proceedings before the convention?

What Drudge began when he published this:

"MEDIA FIREWORKS: MCCAIN PLEADS WITH NY TIMES TO SPIKE STORY
Thu Dec 20 2007 10:49:27 ET

Just weeks away from a possible surprise victory in the primaries, Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz has been waging a ferocious behind the scenes battle with the NEW YORK TIMES, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned, and has hired DC power lawyer Bob Bennett to mount a bold defense against charges of giving special treatment to a lobbyist!

McCain has personally pleaded with NY TIMES editor Bill Keller not to publish the high-impact report involving key telecom legislation before the Senate Commerce Committee, newsroom insiders tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

The paper's Jim Rutenberg has been leading the investigation and is described as beyond frustrated with McCain's aggressive and angry efforts to stop any and all publication.

The drama involves a woman lobbyist who may have helped to write key telecom legislation. The woman in question has retained counsel and strongly denies receiving any special treatment from McCain."

But sit back and watch as the NYT takes all the flack for Rovian Smear Politics. The 19% were never a "Silent Minority!"

I don't think we need to fear al-Qaeda as much as we need to fear our old telecommunication giants. We know they own Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor. This story proves they got to Senator McCain. my current SBC (AT&T) bill is over 500 dollars. Ain't no al-Qaeda called me the N word as Cassius Clay once said.

We're fearing and fighting the wrong enemy. Our enemy is here at home. Alexander Graham Bell must be spinning in his grave. Our first order of business should be to interrupt phone service between AT&T and our 2 Arkansas Senators. Lincoln and Pryor our the worst wrong numbers in Arkansas. Hang up on Pryor this November 4th.

$500? Man, those 900 #s must really add up . . .

2 land lines, DSL, Dish Network, 4 cell phones = 500.00. Plus I think Bush charges me for reading my email. I hope he likes my choices of Internet porn.......boy his parents suck.
