Waitressgate, Part II UPDATE
UPDATE: Also, the Raw Story does its own reporting.
This, in case you haven't been paying attention, refers to the 170-comments-and-counting Arkansas Blog post that began Friday on the firing of a Central Flight Service waitress who decided to greet John McCain to Little Rock with a Hillary Clinton campaign sign.
Here's KTHV report.

ARKANSAS BLOG: Not yet. Maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, America Blog, Daily Kos, Wayne Besen, Democratic Underground, Ch. 11, Fox 16 and a few others.

by 9 points and Obama and McCain
tied?

Both Democrats were roughly even with McCain in the previous poll about three weeks ago.
Since then, Clinton won the Pennsylvania primary,...<<<
from Bold/Blue link.
And since then the D's ran the first of McBush=Third Term. Love it.
It's gonna be real difficult for McCain to cut n' run from his lover boy.
Btw, what's happened to the Huck-operative wiggle room? Did the WilletWatcher do Huck's bidding
and leave?

Dang. They sure do like to make fun of Arkies.
How the hell did Clinton make such a turn around? Obama AND Clinton now beat McCain.

Scary lary,
I am here. I work for the Democrats, so I wouldn't call me a Huck Operative. I just like to cut the bull from the sh*t, the cry from the baby, the crazy from the stupid.
The girl at the local optometrist office got fired the other day from having a bumper sticker that says "blind people suck". Does someone want to run with her cause too? Also, A guy was burning a little effigy's of people out in his front yard and got a ticket, will someone also pick up his cause too? One of the local dog's is in an uproar because the city took out the parking meters and now he has no where to pee.
Now with the opening at CFS, someone more in need of that job has a chance for it. Maybe it will go to a Veteran or a minority. That's one of the things that the party stands for, which is to give the neediest a chance to improve their lives.
Found out today that the flooding in Northeast Arkansas has flooded some of the Limbaugh land, yes I said Limbaugh. Good ole Rush's family was from around the Lawrence county area. That should give some of the U-L's in here something to bitch about while they shop online from their mansions in the heights for fair-trade coffee and blood diamonds mined to fund some war.
I know it burn's some of the closet hidden U-L's on here that Pryor is going back for another round, but if you hate him so much then run someone in the primary. Get out from behind your green laptop made from recycled coke bottles and used rhino snot. Supporting a Green Party candidate against him might make you feel good at night and warm and fuzzy on the inside, but it's like putting a band-aid on a shotgun wound. Hell, running a green party candidate is like having a girl wear a long dress as birth control. A green party candidate winning the Senate seat in Arkansas is about as likely as Bill Clinton becoming gay. I saw Kennedy try to debate back in 2006, she could barely keep up with the hair that Dustin was losing from shiny head. Hell, I'll give her a 1,000 campaign signs, a blimp, and a run down Train Bridge to advertise on.
Our attention should be on the Janie Ward case instead of this goose chase. At least Micah get's to keep on truck'in. Janie Ward doesn't get anything.

Oh for Gosh sakes. Here is what Micah desperately needs:
1.) An American Idol audition. She clearly is desperate for her fifteen minutes.
2.) Some makeup lessons at the Dillard's counter. I'd even pay for those.

Well I see wiggle saddled up to his laptop with his old white sheet hood on tonight. Cut a bigger air hole in the sheet 'cause it reads like you aren't getting enough oxygen. Pryor.com is not a porn sight, squirm, err I mean wiggle.. unless you prefer that high dollar torture porn I suppose. But keep typing because folks need to know what the former GOP employees are doing to the Dem party. What a friend you all found in AR Democrats, hey?
You get your Dem way and every female is going to have a cork in her thanks to the Pryor Supreme Court. The internet will be about as open and educational as the Disney channel and lord knows how restrictive old Pryor would be on the television.. Heck i bet he calls up old Lieberman and talks about it just to hear Liebermans old Sabbath records spin backwards in the background.
Maybe Mark Pryor should tell Arkansans (and his own children) why he supported letting Bush and Cheney off for ordering CIA to smash little boys testicles in front of their parents... and explain that kind of family values to the voters. Maybe Mark ought to explain why he voted for Alberto Gonzales and Mukasey in the DOJ which also enable Bush and Cheney to order our troops and agents to commit such acts.
Maybe Mark ought to explain the invasion of everyones privacy he allowed by voting for the Patriot Act..
Maybe Mark ought to explain why he thinks FISA is needless and why he think the government should not have a warrant to read everything you type on the computer or everything you say on the telephone... with no cause and no legal recourse.
Maybe Mark ought to explain to every single Arkansan who has a grandchild or will have grandchild... that grand kid will not live long enough to pay off the financial debt incurred now for the millions of innocent people he voted to kill.
The list is long and endlessly grotesque in a downright Macabre fashion ... Mark has a lot of answering to do and so do people who support him.
Bring back the monarchy, bring back the gallows, bring back the chastity belt. Who wants Habeas Corpus anyway? Reelect wiggles best paycheck writer, Mark Pryor.
it really doesn't matter who is running against Mark.. what matters is that torture boy Mark is removed from the neo-con table.

Golly Prouster,
And you were probably one of the ones rabidly denouncing those of us who made fun of Paula Jones' nose. It's kind of funny, but I think yours is out of joint now.

There was an entrenched U.S. Senator from a hard core Republican state named Senator Allen. Seems he was caught on vid saying some shit he should not have said. The vid was echoed around the world. Now Senator Jim Webb (D-Virginia) holds the seat and relishes insulting Bushit.
Never know what lies in store for your boy Mark. Vid cams are everywhere, in fund raising parties, in restaurants, and offices. Mine's a mediocre one that only cost 250. I can record a conversation with it 20 ft away.

Ol' DINO Wiggle is still defending his DLC/Dixiecrat/Closet Republican friends....geesh.
I prefer to vote for a Democrat. But sometimes, the Democrats are not doing their jobs. Take Mike Ross for instance. His voting record is at best that of a moderate Republican. Ross voted FOR the Federal Marriage Amenedment, against even the watered down version of ENDA, and supports telecom immunity for wiretaps. Yes, a real Democratic voting record huh?
And the Arkansas Legislature is full of Blue Dogs (or Blue Ticks?). Jack Critcher, J.P. Capps, Billy Gaskill, Bob Johnson, and closer to home--Jerry Taylor, Allen Maxwell, etc.
Saw in yesterday's ADG that "Democrat" first termer Lamont Cornwell (D-28) supports Jerry Cox's Petition of Hate. Y'all progressives keep that in mind when voting up Benton way as he has an opponent, Barbara Nix in the Democratic Primary.

You think Bill may want to come down to Arkansas and "feel her pain"?

Good Lord,
Trying to compare Kennedy/Pryor to Allen/Webb? It really is a dream world. The green party does not have the resources that the D's had in 2006 to go against Allen. Besides Pryor is not some nimrod like Allen was. Gee, people keep dreaming. Please keep buying those powerball tickets, maybe if you win you can put a quapaw quarter bum in a senate seat. Maybe that guy with the long hair, who is always holding his side and carrying a radio. Free crack and bathtub gin for all.
Gee, if Pryor is so easy to beat, then why is no one running against him, except for people with low name recognition? It takes name recognition and a great resume to unseat a sitting senator. Webb had all of those perquisites, and then a nice big juicy Indian softball fell out of Allen's ass.
I lived in Nothern VA when Allen was a US senator. He was awful, the roads were falling apart and all he wanted to do was to have us fill them with porn and church scripture.

uncommon sense: No, I made quite a few cracks about Paula, mostly at Bill's expense.
By the way, of the Wonkette comments about that hideous glamour shot Micah sent out with her press kit Friday, at least one compared her to Paula Jones.

Has there been any reports on how business was yesterday at the Central Flying Service feed-bag? Were there lots of empty seats? Hope so!
I agree with wiggle in that a Green candidate is starting from less than zero in a state and country only used to the GM & Ford brand of political parties. But this year the Green Party has one gigantic missile to aim at Mark Pryor.....Mark Pryor. If we can successfully get the Mark W. Pryor voting record out to the voters of Arkansas they can shrink their love for Pryor down to the 28% love fest they're having with Pryor's hero, George W. Bush. Cause a vote for Pryor is a vote for 6 more years of George W. Bush. That's all a political party of any kind needs to cut off Pryor's water.
I suspect that the 2008 Pryor campaign will never start unless Rebekah Kennedy gets out there first and forces him to run for the seat he's so sure is perfectly safe. Pryor has Boozman eyes.....last thing he wants is a fight. Last thing he wants is to have to try to defend his sorry record. Kennedy needs to call him out, plink the giant in the eye with her little slingshot and draw some blood. The cruelest thing we can do to Mark W. Pryor is to MAKE him run for his own Senate seat. Let the contest begin!

I agree, DBI.
Rebekah needs to run her little heart out and make a name for herself to challenge Blanche.
Then Ms. Blank will have to run to the left, opening it up for a conservative candidate.
Run, Rebekah, run!
