Daily Kos Diarist Michael Schiavo Slams Joe Lieberman

I bet your first reaction upon seeing the name of "Michael Schiavo" in the title of this DUmmie FUnnies thread was "Huh?" It sure was my reaction when I saw Michael Schiavo's name as a Daily Kos Diarist SLAMMING Joe Lieberman in a KOmmie Diary titled, "Excuse me, Mr. Lieberman?" One would have thought that after all the controversy over Schiavo forcing the removal of the feeding tube from his comatose wife, Terri, over the strong objections of her parents who were willing to take care of her, that Michael Schiavo would slither away from public view and take a very low profile in life either for a very long time or permanently. However, Michael Schiavo seems to relish being on stage and is back in the public eye with a vengeance as an active participant in partisan politics with this Daily Kos DIARY. Ironically, this moral leper is doing his candidate, Ned Lamont, no favors with his open display of support in KOmmieland. In fact, his endorsement of Lamont may well backfire which makes it surprising that the KOmmies were so short sighted as to give Schiavo a political platform. As usual the KOmmie rantings are in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, stifling the urge to yell "UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!" at the moral leper, is in the [brackets]:

In the media and political circus surrounding my case a few people stood out. Tom Delay, of course. Rick Santorum and Bill Frist. President Bush.

And Joe Lieberman.

[And Michael Schiavo who obviously loves being in the public eye as now.]

Not only did Joe Lieberman support the illegal political intervention in the private and legally protected decisions of my family, he went out of his way to defend it. On national television.

So when I thought about going to Connecticut to remind voters what Joe Lieberman really thinks about family values and personal privacy, I didn't have to think too long.

[Michael loves being on display.]

Last Friday Ned Lamont and I stood between Connecticut's historic Capitol and Supreme Court speaking to reporters (video) about Joe Lieberman's disconnect from average Americans.

[Spoken by an expert on the subject of disconnect as in disconnecting feeding tubes.]

But it was Joe Lieberman's comment while I was in Connecticut with Ned Lamont that should show everyone Joe Lieberman still doesn't get it.

[Obviously you don't get that folks want you to fade away like a bad memory.]

According to press reports, Lieberman said, "It's time for politicians to let Terri Schiavo rest in peace."

Really?

[Really. So why are YOU stirring up that hornet's nest again, Michael?]

Mr. Lieberman, where was your sense of compassion for Terri last year when you went on "Meet the Press" to say politicians should get involved?

[And where is YOUR compassion to let let your wife rest in peace?]

Mr. Lieberman, you, Tom Delay, Bill Frist, Marilyn Musgrave and other right-wing politicians thought Terri was a prime political issue then.

[Michael using his Daily Kos brush to paint Lieberman as "right-wing."]

Mr. Lieberman, I must have missed your passionate speech on the Senate floor about how this issue, this case, my family was not a cause for politicians. I missed it, Senator, because you never gave such a speech.

When it came time to count hands and be heard, Mr. Lieberman, you threw in with Bill Frist and George Bush.

[You left out Karl Rove. BTW, who knew that Michael Schiavo would turn out to be such a left wing talking points looney?]

And now that you're in a fight for your political future and down in the polls you want politicians to "let Terri rest in peace."

[Like you're doing? All you are doing is riding Terri's death by starvation (thanx to you) to more self publicity.]

I'll bet you do, Mr. Lieberman.

[Something strange here about Joe Lieberman getting a morality lecture from the starver of wives.]

I bet you want nothing more than for voters in Connecticut to forget what you did and what you said. But I went to Hartford this week to make sure they would not. And I hope they do not.

[I sort of wanted to forget what you did to your wife but you won't let me.]

Ned Lamont, Mr. Lieberman, is everything you are not. He understands that our bedrooms, hospital rooms, hospices and churches are not where we want our government. Ned told me, and the voters of Connecticut, that this issue was one of the reasons he decided to run for Senate.

[If Lamont ends up losing to Lieberman, he has Schiavo to thank for openly endorsing him.]

He's right. And I have a feeling that the voters of Connecticut know it.

Ned Lamont has my full and unconditional support. And he needs yours too. If you haven't been to his website, please go. Volunteer, donate and get involved.

[Please GO AWAY, Michael!]

You can also help us keep the pressure on Lieberman and the other politicians who acted like he did. Visit my PAC website - TerriPAC. We need your help too.

[It looks like he is going to ride his wife's tragic death into a whole political career shtick. Too bad for Michael that politicians are going to end up asking him NOT to endorse them.]

With your continued help, we'll elect a great Governor in Florida and two new members of Congress in Colorado: Peggy Lamm and Angie Paccione. But TerriPAC is just getting started and we're counting on you to keep us going and let us know where we need to be next.

[Yup! Michael sure appears to exploiting his wife's death (due to his removal of her feeding tube) to ride his way into yet more political publicity. And now to read the reactions of his strongly supportive fellow KOmmies...]

He's NeoCon inside and out. He helped plan the Iraq crime. He helped sell it. He still utters nonsense about it. He's not for Connecticut.

[Any Democrat who is rational on the subject of Iraq MUST be purged from the Party.]

Neville Chamberlain worked with Hitler. Sometimes you have to stand up to crooks, liars and criminals, not "work with them."

[A typical KOmmie tactic---equating Bush with Hitler.]

Thanks for your diary Michael. Everytime I see people use religion for their political advantage, I want to send them to confession, have them say 1,000,000 Hail Mary's and genuflect until their knees fall off.

[How many Hail Mary's if you use your own wife's death (that you caused) for political advantage?]

Isn't Lieberman just about the smarmiest enabler you have ever seen? He's an oleaginous little suck-up to the man who stole the 2000 election from him and Al Gore. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to get Gore's issues now? Not if he already has plans to cross the floor and embrace his former tormentors ... a weasely, despicable little operator.

[Strange how the Democrats call for "bipartisanship" but when it really happens they get OUTRAGED.]

Mr Schiavo - After so many years of battling with the legal system, I'm amazed that you have it in you to keep fighting for justice. Thank you.

[Michael got addicted to the publicity which is why he just can't leave the limelight.]

Michael, there is no higher tribute you could give to the tragedy that was your wife's last years than to become politically involved, and in her name. She can live on in the political activity you support, in her memory. It is only if each and everyone of us stands up and says No! this country is governed by a rule of law, not of emotion that we can hope to retain our democracy.

[After the Left accused conservatives of politicizing the plight of Terri Schiavo, guess who is now proudly riding the publicity generated by her death?]

Thank you Michael. I remember you saying at Yearly Kos that you'd be happy to help sweep all those stuck their noses in your private family business. And I'm very glad to see you're doing it.

[Did Michael visit the Stratosphere Chocolate Fountain at the Vegas Yearly Kos party?]

why wasn't the decision of her family the one that counted?

[Because in the courts, Michael's determination to starve his wife overrode their desire to keep Terri alive.]

As a person who has personally suffered at the hands of the religious right, Mr. Schiavo has every reason to stump for Ned Lamont, and every reason to publicly excoriate Sen. Lieberman.

[No mention here of Mrs. Schiavo's sufferings at the hand of Mr. Schiavo.]

TerriPAC accepts Paypal. NICE. If only all the other campaign sites did too I wouldn't think twice about sending a few bucks their way on the spot (Lamont, DNC, MoveOn, WesPAC, etc).... How many of you haven't contributed to something because your wallet was in the other room and/or you're weary of putting your credit card number out there too many times? Just throwin' it out there to any of you working on any other campaign somewhere. Paypal is the key to winning back Congress....

[Michael's political PAC is just 10 PayPal dollars away from overturning Congress.]

William Rivers Pitt Hides Behind Marc Ash's Skirt

William Rivers Pitt has finally rendered up a non-answer about his part in the Non-Indictment That Dares Not Speak Its Name. This was in response to a challenge from DUmmie kstewart33 who boldly asked in this THREAD, "William Pitt: How about an explanation?" Unfortunately for DUmmie kstewart33, Pied Piper Pitt responds with a lame non-answer as we shall see. I wonder if Pitt will be allowed to be so evasive if he is forced to take the stand if there is a criminal trial against his buddy, Jason Leopold, for making threats against various bloggers including, most notably, SEIXON. Remember, Pied Piper Pitt was in the forefront of vouching for the "noble" journalistic integrity of Jason Leopold and has acted as his chief enabler on the Web. Therefore it is to be expected that any criminal proceedings against Leopold must include Pitt on the witness stand. One can only hope that such a trial will be televised so we can watch the squirmings and evasions by Bukowski's most devout patron. As usual, the Pied Piper Pitt evasion is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, amused at the fact that Pitt placed his entire political cojones into the greasy palms of Jason Leopold, is in the [brackets]:

William Pitt: How about an explanation?

[I was DESPERATE to claw my way into fame. I figured that since it was a sure thing that Karl Rove would be indicted by Patrick Fitzgerald, why not announce it as a fact and then lay claim for this amazing scoop when it happened? Who knew that this could have completely backfired on me and now am so openly mocked by my fellow leftists that my only consolation is imbibing deeply of liquid refreshments nightly at Bukowski's?]

Now that you're posting again, might you give us all a full explanation of what happened concerning the Rove indictment/Jason Leopold/truthout fiasco several weeks back. You remember: the series of stories that had us all convinced that Rove would be indicted after 24 business hours or 48 or whatever?

[The indictment really happened. I just got a little ahead of the news cycle on that one. The indictment will be announced the moment the Great Pumpkin arrives.]

No fair sneaking back into the forums without telling all of us chumps what the heck happened.

[What happened is that I have gone from merely predicting indictments that didn't happen to prophesizing a grand apocalyptic End of the World VISION based on a complex series of events which must fit together perfectly like a vast jigsaw puzzle for it to happen.]

calling folks out is a no no.

[How dare you call on Pied Piper Pitt to account for making fools of us all.]

This is in bad taste. Regardless of the situation...

[Yecch! A fellow DUmmie seeks the truth. This is in bad taste.]

Thou shalt not ask for accountability...ye shall bow thy head and baa in acquiescence as does the rest of the DU flock.

[Ye shall bury thy head in the sand as does the rest of the DUmmie flock.]

Is this personal? Did he take away your virginity, or something?

[That is a question that might be asked in a courtroom concerning a certain Girls School scandal in Newton.]

Hey Bill- if you are reading this, somebody still loves ya, Baby!!!

[Is that you, Jason Leopold?]

I would venture to guess that Leopold was probably right and Death Star Cheney once again pulled off the impossible (to mere mortals) anyway. What HAVEN'T these assh*les gotten away with? Just sayin'.

[Yeah, Karl Rove really was indicted and Patrick Fitzgerald merely kept mum when Rove's lawyer lied about there being no indictment. It sounds like the Good Fairy Leopold has been sprinkling Pixie Dust on your brain.]

You should be ashamed for posting this. Will has done more for this party than you ever will.

[Absolutely. Will has done more to make the Democrats look like complete fools than you ever will. That videotape of the Michigan Democrats (including Hillary) standing up and cheering the Truthout announcement of the Rove indictment just can't be topped for sheer idiocy. Thanx, Will. You done GOOD!]

No one should ever be ashamed for wanting to know if information is true or not, and while I agree that Will Pitt certainly has every right, as much as anyone else to post here, I'd like to hear about that fiasco as well.. tho I imagine they might want to post it at their site and then link it here for us all to scratch our heads over

[They already did post an explanation at the TruthOut site. Karl Rove was really indicted but they just got ahead of the news cycle in announcing it.]

Will never claimed direct knowledge-he said he trusted the people whom claimed direct knowledge, as in "I doubt they are lying".....thereby lending his considerable weight to the story.As best I can guess,some deal was in fact arranged.Myself,I am tired of people that to this day post snarky stuff against both Leopold and TO.And to bring Will's credibility in when he was a character witness is unfair....till the entire cabal is taken down and the history is written, I'll abstain....

[According to Will himself, one of the sources that he trusted was Joe Wilson. And thanx for reminding us that Pitt was a character witness vouching for that font of journalistic integrity, Jason Leopold.]

Shameful violation of the rules. This will hopefully be locked VERY soon. SHAME on you.

[Shameful violation of DUmmieland rules. Seeking the truth. SHAME on you.]

Why don't we all just alert the mods.... I did. This is clearly against the rules.

[Clearly against the rules to seek out the truth in DUmmieland.... And now the moment we have all been waiting for. An uncharacteristically cryptic "explanation" from the Pied Piper himself. Heeeeeeeere's WILLLIIEEEEE!!!]

Ready?

I can't.

Not because I don't want to, or because there isn't a good one. I do and there is. But any and all information on this issue is going to come from Marc Ash, and he is my boss, and that's how it is. I am required to abide by the rules of my employer, and that's one of them.

Sorry.

And, P.S., I've been a member here since April of 2001, so I'm not sneaking anywhere.

[So there you have it. Pied Piper Pitt could easily give us an explanation about the Hoaxmas story but he can't because he must defer to that journalistic giant and fashion photographer, Marc Ash. If only fashion photographer Ash would give Pitt a deferment on the TruthOut rules, Pitt could explain the whole thing thus lifting the weight that is crushing his political career that never happened.]

Locking. Calling out another member is against the rules. Also, in the future, if you see something like this, please just hit the Alert button instead of telling the poster why their thread will be locked. The mods will handle it.

[Locking. Also in the future, any thread daring to question Pitt about the Non-indictment That Dare Not Speak Its Name will be instantly locked.]

"Horse’s Head Dumped in Democratic Councilwoman’s Pool"

A horse's head is dumped into the swimming pool of a Democrat councilwoman and the DUmmies of course blame the EVIL Republicans for this deed as you can see in this THREAD titled, "Horse’s Head Dumped in Democratic Councilwoman’s Pool." Perhaps Don Karlo Roveone made her an offer that she couldn't refuse. So let us now watch the DUmmies speculate that this horse head DUmping was committed by the Bush Crime Family in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, taking the Fifth Amendment on this charge, is in the [brackets]:

Horse’s Head Dumped in Democratic Councilwoman’s Pool

[Don Karlo Roveone's offer that she can't refuse.]

MIDDLETOWN, N.Y. - A councilwoman found a severed horse’s head in her swimming pool Tuesday, state police said. “We’re looking at a threat as a possible angle,” Lt. Pierce Gallagher said. “Certainly, we can’t rule that out.” There have been some prior instances of harassment directed toward Wawayanda Councilwoman Gail Soro, Gallagher said.

[The Bush Crime Family Consiglieri, Don Karlo Roveone, has spoken.]

Let's hear it for those moral, Christian, family-values Republicans!

[Let's hear it for pointing fingers of blame based on NO facts.]

Yeah, I'm sure when it comes out, we'll find out it was her Dem primary challenger? It may not turn out to be an officially sanctioned Repub action, but I'm willing to lay good money that whatever sick jerk did something like this for whatever warped reason - it'll turn out that he (they) are registered Repub(s)

[Was the horse a registered Republican?]

A horse's head is a death threat. Bodyguards and a thorough police investigation is the solution.

[And The Godfather DVD should be carefully watched for clues.]

Soro's been in the middle of tussles over growth and planning that are the hot-button issues in the town. But she says she won't be scared out of office. She's up for re-election next year, and she's running.

[Ever consider that SHE might have dumped the horse's head in her own pool as a publicity stunt? Such stunts by Democrats have happened before such as that prof in California that spraypainted Hate graffiti on her own car.]

Sure hope they find the sicko who did this.

[They should start with a list of DUmmie screen names.]

I have to say that I pity the horse. What sort of freak would decapitate a horse?

[What sort of freak would decapitate a human being? Wait! We already know the answer---Islamofascists.]

I hope they find who did it and I would bet that it's a potential developer who probably also is a big contributer to the town's Republicans.

"Dennis Kucinich looks like an elf"

Is there an anti-elvian prejudice afoot in the land? According to the DUmmies there is and I can't say I disagree with them. I mean how seriously can you take somebody who looks like a tiny elf? Even Kucinich's former press secretary (William Rivers Pitt) secretly mocked him by sending insider info on the 2004 Kucinich presidential primary campaign to the Kerry campaign in a desperate bid to ingratiate himself with the latter until the Elf discovered the betrayal and fired Pitt. Of course, if an elf cannot be elected president, does that also close the White House doors to people with a Leprechaun appearance? In any event, the prejudice against elves is dicussed in this DUmmie THREAD accurately titled, "Dennis Kucinich looks like an elf." As usual, the DUmmie elfian treatise is in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, pouring Pixie Dust on Kucinich's presidential chances, are in the [brackets]:

Dennis Kucinich looks like an elf

[Hey, it's better than looking like a Frankenstein monster which is who your 2004 presidential candidate resembled.]

That's why nobody would vote for him to be the next president. Because of how he looks. He doesn't have a southern accent and he doesn't have white hair. He doesn't look like a president, so people don't take him seriously.

[Time to initiate a whole bunch of anti-elf discrimination legislation.]

Well, I say enough of this idiocy. Forget Hillary. Forget Gore, Clark, Joe, or whoever the hell else. Dennis Kucinich would probably be the best damn thing to happen if people would only give him a chance. He's a pacifist, he's progressive, he seems to actually give a f*ck about the people, and he's not corrupted by big corporations and lobbyists.

[Too bad the American people are too narrow to overcome their anti-elf prejudices.]

You want to send a REAL message to the assholes right now controlling the country? Both the Democrats and the Republicans? (And don't for one second think there aren't corrupted Dems). Send the one guy who the media doesn't give a chance in hell to the white house. Show those bastards that the people are going to take the country back by putting the guy who doesn't look like a president and who was divorced in power.

[Elf for Pres!]

If you look at his policies, they're the most progressive. They're the best ideas. If he was president and people like him ran the senate and congress, things would actually start to improve. Health care, education, the economy, the world stage. So why don't people vote for him?

[Because he looks like Tinkerbell's groom?]

Because he looks like an elf.

[Cheer up. Plastic surgery could make him look like a leprechaun.]

Sad.

[FUnnie. And now to hear from the rest of the pro-elvian DUmmies...]

I got no problem with Dennis Kucinich. None.

[You are one of the rare ones who has overcome anti-elf prejudices.]

Dumberica likes only medium-to-tall white alpha males with folksy demeanor. Corporations would order the news to paint him as a crazy leaping gnome.

[More like a Gollum...like James Carville.]

He might look like an elf, but liberals are naturally adversed to... anything that looks like money - pretty is not an attractive thing to liberals, got it? Pretty means money, and in our minds, money is evil. That's why liberals don't mind that Kucinich looks like an elf.

[I don't mind either. Some of my best friends are elves.]

Progressives could have made Kucinich the nominee.
But we talk ourselves out of it with hand-wringing about "electability." Well, we picked the most "electable" candidate running in the '04 primary and we saw how that worked out.

[Lurch lost.]

Sad but true- just like Robin Cook in the UK who was a gifted politician but acknowledged that he would never become Prime Minister because he looked like a garden gnome.

[At least he was able to scare the crows away from the tomatos.]

Hes definietely the MAN... but Americans are too stupid
to appreciate him!

[They just can't get past that elf thing.]

Perhaps those shallow thinkers will be silenced should he ever run again, with his tall, beautiful wife standing at his side.

[Being towered over by your own wife? That would only emphasize his elfishness.]

I think Kerry's looks may have hurt him as well.

[Those looks scared the hell out of the kids.]

Even Al Frum, Mr DLC, said that Edwards wasn't invited to their meeting this past weekend, but not to make much of it because they didn't need a beauty contest anyway. What a snark.

[Frum was just jealous of Edwards' hairspray.]

You are wrong - Dennis has always been attractive to me and
I believe to many other women, as well. He has way more sizzle than most men.

[Dennis Kucinich as the next Fabio.]

He's Keebler, reincarnated!

[Certainly not the Jolly Green Giant.]

I saw a focus group on C-span during the summer of 2003, about the dem primary candidates. They showed the panel pictures of the nine candidates and asked for their impressions. There were something like ten people in the focus group, and a couple of them recognized a few of the candidates, the rest recognized zero of them. No one recognized Dennis. Their reaction to his picture was to laugh.

[Time to face an ugly truth---elves are FUnnie.]

I love that man, and I wanted to marry him, but that English woman Elizabeth beat me to it.

[The Pillsbury Dough Boy is still available.]

William Rivers Pitt Vomits Up Apocalyptic Visions

The most important thing you need to know about Pied Piper Pitt's latest RANT in DUmmieland titled, "Allow me, if you please, to freak you out...," is WHEN it was posted. 4:20 A.M. on Sunday morning. Right away that tells us it was a DRUNKEN rant posted after a long night of binge drinking at Bukowski's. The heavy drinking for Pitt is necessary to kill the pain of public HUMILIATION over the Non-Indictment That Dare Not Speak Its Name. In addition, Pitt has now become a NON-PERSON over at the Progressive Democrats of America site where "his" blog no longer even bears his name much less his blogs. This also means a loss of the PDA expense account that covered much of Pitt's heavy drinking which he must now pay for out of his own pocket since his TruthOut "refreshment" funds have also dried up due to lack of contributions due to the Hoaxmas scandal. So there we have Pied Piper Pitt hitting one drink after another late Saturday night into Sunday morning trying to drown out the pain. The pain of public humiliation over Hoaxmas. The pain of a shattered political career that died before it was even born. And most of all, the pain coming from the knowledge that he will never ever be taken seriously again except for a handful of DUmmies. Such dark thoughts, abetted by copious quantities of alcohol, are sure to lead to apocalyptic thoughts. Not through any rational analysis of the geopolitical situation (remember Pitt is the one who postulated that the Third American Empire was born when happy American fans screamed "USA! USA!" when the Americans beat the Soviet Union in ice hockey during the 1980 Winter Olymics) but from the desperate hope that the entire world will be dragged down to his own miserable condition. Yes, it was a long Saturday night/Sunday morning. The many drinks at Bukowski's did little to kill the pain despite a forced happy face front put on for Ty the Bouncer and Pitt's other drinking buddies (mainly because he pays for their drinks). Finally came the time to leave Bukowki's and stagger your way home to confront the demons of your own miserable existence. The sickening nature of this condition plus your alcohol pickled stomach caused you to violently vomit up the imbibings of the long evening until you could retch no more. Sleep is not an option due to a chronic case of insomnia. So what to do? What you always do when in such a pathetic situation...vomit up nonsense in DUmmieland. Yes, you have recently been forced to avoid your favorite pastime---making erroneous predictions for fear of bringing up memories of Hoaxmas but now you are desperate. So you tap away at the keyboard with predictions and not just of the relatively mundane variety as you have before such as some obscure paper filed in an equally obscure Ohio courthouse that could possible tip the 2004 election to Kerry. No, this time you go for broke. An entire world consumed in apocalyptic flames. A post that tells us much more about Pitt himself than the actual condition of the world. A post that tells us that Pied Piper Pitt envisions himself going up in flames in a mighty apocalyptic conflagration. "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!" So let us now watch Pied Piper Pitt drunkenly stagger into the demons of his personal apocalypse in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, pouring vodka on the flames of the Burning Pitt, is in the [brackets]:

Allow me, if you please, to freak you out...

[You're going to remove your shirt?]

It is easy enough to hold the violence unfolding in the Middle East at arm's length if you are an American, especially if you are an American whose knowledge of the vast complexities of the situation comes from the television news. It is easy enough to hold it all at arm's length because, goodness knows, you've heard enough about Mideast violence already over the last several years.

[It's easy enough to hold a glass of vodka at arm's length. Oh wait! It's not easy so I'll just lighten the load by tossing it down my throat.]

It may even be something of a relief to have all this unfold, because it has managed to drown out coverage of the daily drumbeat of Iraq carnage. If you are an American with a media-trained short attention span, you might even be able to pretend, for a while anyway, that the Iraq thing isn't really that important anymore. If it was important, they'd be covering it, right?

[And Pied Piper Pitt is quite the expert in drowning things out.]

Besides, you're safe. The Bush administration has spent an enormous amount of time and energy convincing you that you're covered, that they've got your back, that they are all about the defense of the homeland. Nothing else has been blown up over here since 9/11, so they must be doing something right. And besides, violence between Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah is so totally 80's, anyway.

[You're safe, Pitt. Bukowski's remains your personal haven protecting you from the cruel world out there.]

Let's roll one version of the tape to the end.

[You mean the Will Pitt, alcohol induced, version of the tape to the end.]

The military build-up on the border between Israel and Lebanon is ostensibly aimed at Hezbollah guerillas, but it isn't too long of a drive between that build-up and the Syrian border. If enough people get nervous on either side, or if Syria decides to flex its muscles on behalf of its proxy fighters in Lebanon, or if Israel decides to strike the root instead of the stalk, then all of a sudden we have a firefight between two serious powers.

[Blah-blah--ba-bla-ba-BLAH! Will Pitt now regurgitating items he scanned from the news in order to pretend that he is some sort of geopolitical expert.]

Syria and Iran signed a mutual defense pact not so long ago, which means fighting one is tantamount to fighting both. This isn't terribly daunting to the Israeli military, because there are not many combinations of military powers in the region that can challenge their conventional warfare might.

[The main thing Pitt needs to know about the military situation in the Mideast is that he can always drink the antifreeze of the tanks for the alcohol content if necessary.]

The fight starts for real, and the first thing Israel does is establish control of the air. The Israeli air force chews up the Syrian and Iranian air forces at speed, and then begins to attack basic infrastructure: power grids, fuel depots, bridges, communications centers, anti-aircraft batteries and any troop or armor concentrations it comes across in the process.

[How long to establish control of the air? 24 business hours?]

Stage two, once air dominance is established, will be Israel attacking and destroying any and all troop, armor and artillery forces deployed by Syria and Iran. They will do this to great effect, and follow it up with their own troops and armor. Syria and Iran will find themselves, very rapidly, almost entirely outmatched.

[Stage two, a top secret lockdown meeting on the 4th floor of Patton Boggs.]

But Syria and Iran are not entirely without fangs. Iran's batteries of Sunburst missiles are unleashed from their mountainous shoreline overlooking the Persian Gulf, and a number of heavy American warships are hit and sunk, because the Sunburst has the capability of defeating Aegis radar systems. Iran likewise has the ability to, overnight, bring their fight against Israel to the American soldiers in Iraq. Iran's Shiite allies all across Iraq introduce a whole new front in that struggle.

[And every little piece of this puzzle fitting together just as Pitt forsees it. Just like how Karl Rove was indicted on May 12.]

Somewhere in this, the oil spigot in Iran is either disrupted or deliberately shut off. The global economy rocks and rolls. China, whose multi-billion dollar oil deals with Iran provides their economy a desperately needed infusion, feels the shortage severely. An ominous possibility arises, only darkly muttered previously because the ramifications are too dire to contemplate. That possibility, simply, is China's ability, with their vast holdings of American debt, to annihilate the American economy with five simple words: "We want our money back." At a minimum, China becomes a major player in the situation.

[The alcohol is talking very loudly here. This apocalyptic vision of the future isn't just based on a simple premise. No, Pitt is brazenly setting forth a complex series of prophetic visions. And knowing his track record for predictions, should we all prepare now for the End of Times?]

As if this were not bad enough, Syria is pressed into a corner by Israel's effective attacks. The Syrian leadership realizes Israel isn't simply pushing them, punishing them or attempting to bomb them to the negotiating table. Israel is out for blood and intends to topple the Syrian government. Syria's commanders, facing extinction, break the seal on the final option: their stockpile of chemical weaponry. Gas bombs are used against Israeli troops, and explode within Israel's borders.

[Prophetic vision piled upon prophetic vision. Alcohol is such an effective lubricant for inspiring such visions, mostly of the double vision variety.]

And we're off to the races.

[And we're off to the races. Can I place a bet on Rove Indictment in the 12th?]

Israel, erupting with rage, turns Syria and Iran into glass. An explosion of rage envelops the Middle East, and even the Arab governments who chastised Hezbollah are forced to choose between opposing Israel or being themselves toppled by the swell. The eruption is most acute in Pakistan, whose hard-core fundamentalists are umbilically and spiritually tied to their Taliban neighbors in Afghanistan.

[You left Tibet out of the equation, Pitt. And how does the Morrocan olive futures market affect this situation?]

Pervez Musharraf is faced with a sudden revolution, both from his population and from within the ranks of his Taliban-friendly military. His government is toppled, and all of a sudden, a nuclear power has been overthrown by Islamic extremists. The American military unit in Pakistan, whose sole purpose is to secure and remove that nations' nuclear arsenal in the event of revolt, loses the race to get hold of the weapons.

[Been reading Tom Clancy while drunk, Pitt?]

India reacts with unutterable terror, as does China and Russia and every other neighbor in the immediate region. Worse, the ultimate nightmare has become real. There are, all of a sudden, loose nukes walking the Earth.

[Even worse, Andorra doesn't react at all.]

If this last Pakistani bit seems too farfetched, someone should let the editors of the Los Angeles Times know. The following appeared in the Opinion section of their Sunday edition: "Al Qaeda has had Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf in its sights for years, and the organization finally gets its man. Pakistan descends into chaos as militants roam the streets and the army struggles to restore order. India decides to exploit the vacuum and punish the Kashmir-based militants it blames for the recent Mumbai railway bombings. Meanwhile, U.S. special operations forces sent to secure Pakistani nuclear facilities face off against an angry mob."

[Meanwhile, Bukowski's is forced to temporarily close its door to its most loyal patron due to a health department inspection.]

Meanwhile, back in America, terror strikes begin to take place all across the country. It was, after all, the violence between Israel, Palestine and Lebanon back in the 1980's that inspired men like Ramsi Yousef to attack the World Trade Center in the first place. The government is powerless to stop these attacks, because anti-terror funding has been redirected to bean festivals in Indiana instead of major capitols and seats of infrastructure, and because the first-warning intelligence services have been savaged in an ideological purge.

[Meanwhile, back in America, a terror strike targets a Boston Beer Festival. Pitt wept.]

"Red Alert" is announced. Martial law is declared, posse comitatus and habeas corpus are suspended, and the Constitution of the United States is indefinitely put on the shelf. Elections are cancelled, and a sense of permanent emergency is impressed upon a cowed and unprepared populace by a pliant news media.

[And, worst of all, Happy Hour at Bukowski's is cancelled as Pied Piper Pitt feverishly works to fit more pieces into his complex apocalyptic vision puzzle.]

Sleep tight.

[Sleep tight unless you suffer from chronic insomnia and haven't slept since April...2005. And now to hear from the sleepless DUmmies.]

thanks for the bedtime story

[Yeah, it put me right to sleep.]

Lets hope he has had one beer too many. I am depressed enough already

[Make that 10 beers too many.]

Sounds like a great story line... for Movie of the Week, but you're stretching a bit.

[Just a bit?]

Someone once said that America is only three missed meals away from total chaos.

[In your case, Will, make that three missed six-packs away from total chaos.]

So ? An asteroid could slam into the earth an annihilate us all.... Whats your point other than speculation about one of many probable outcomes ? That being said, I do understand speculation and the power it holds for most. I also understand it for what it is... speculation.

[I'm speculating that Karl Rove was indicted on May 12.]

Your worst-case scenario is plausible, but unlikely... Several elements are likely, like Pakistan's Musharraf being toppled (with Pak nukes falling into al Qaeda's hands). But I just can't see Iran & Syria risking everything by going to war with Israel and, by proxy, the US.

[Don't you get Pitt's shtick yet? His worse case scenario doesn't have to happen for him to take credit as a great prophet. All that has to happen is that just one small element of his complex scenario of events has to work as "predicted" in even a most a periperal way for Pitt to claim credit as the Great Prophet of our times so he can pop it into his resume in a desperate attempt to redeem himself, on the heels of his Hoaxmas Disaster, with Mama T's Boy Toy.]

Right. And Rove might be indicted tomorrow, too. Oh great conjurer of...whatever it is you conjure up around here. Granted the situation is serious, but give it a rest.

[And this DUmmie WINS a Will Pitt Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

Sorry, I don't get "freaked out" over fiction. What is this? DU's version of The Rapture?

[It's the DUmmie version of The Rupture. The Rupture between Pitt's alcohol induced "visions" and reality.]

Will, you have *got* to get more sleep...

[As stated before, Will hasn't slept since April...2005.]

Drink less. Sleep more. Live longer and happier. Oh, Pitt: Tom Clancy called. He demands the return of his notebook, immediately. If you use the name "Jack Ryan", he promises to sue your pants off. You have 24 business hours to comply.

[LOL! Okay, I'm breaking my One Kewpie Doll Awarded Per Thread Rule just this once.]

Civil disobedience will take hold. We'll blame all of this on Bush and the Republicans, and even the Republican voter will run scared because they'll know we are right. What will happen is that even martial law will fail since the Democrats and Independents will be justified in calling for a presidential impeachment, the US will lose its super power status, and another country will step in and take its place. Maybe it will be China, maybe it will be Russia, but we will no longer be respected in the world.

[Another DUmmie Fantasy in which the EVIL USA loses its superpower status much to DUmmie Delight.]

Everything you have said is a quite reasonable series of events. Everything.

[Is that you, Jason Leopold?]

For your scenario to unfold, numerous events (which you plausibly describe, with well referenced facts) must occur precisely in sequence, without variance. If one of these players refuses to cooperate with your scenario, the whole thing falls apart.

[A player known as Patrick Fitzgerald refused to cooperate with Pitt's last scenario.]

Another Daily Kos Blogola Scandal

Take a look at the photo of Congressperson Cynthia McKinney above. Obviously the source of that picture must be some vicious hate-filled right-wing website that dislikes the "progressive" policies of Ms Mckinney, right? Wrong. The source for that picture is none other than the Daily Kos. You read that correctly. This picture is part of an ad by McKinney's primary opponent, Hank Johnson, that is figured PROMINENTLY at the top of the list of Daily Kos advertisers. I should have had a hint of this latest Kos Blogola scandal yesterday when I did a search on the Daily Kos site to see what the Head KOmmie, KOs himself, had to say about allegations of vote fraud in that election. Surprisingly I found NO COMMENT from him. And this morning I found out why. You might not be able to buy Kos's support with Blogola payments via advertising or the Unknown Jerome "consulting" fees but at least you can buy Kos's silence which is just as important. Poor Joe Lieberman. Had he only paid big bucks for a Daily Kos ad months ago, he could have spared himself the agony of a close race with Kos-supported Ned Lamont. Of course, the KOmmies themselves enthusiastically support the leftwing wacko McKinney which makes that anti-McKinney ad in KOmmieland so painful for them as you can see in this KOmmie THREAD titled, "Will Diebold Some Day Advertise on DailyKos?" So let us now watch the ENRAGED KOmmies attack their Head KOmmie for accepting Blogola money in the form of advertising in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, thinking that Cynthia actually looks cute with that red slash across her face, is in the [brackets]:

Will Diebold Some Day Advertise on DailyKos?

[Maybe President Bush should buy a Kos ad.]

Since Cynthia McKinney's strong opposition to President Bush has given her national notoriety, the Republican machine in Georgia has put extra effort into unseating her. Her district is heavily black and Democratic-leaning, so this has in practice meant running a conservative in the Democratic primary and encouraging Republicans to cross over in the open primary system.

This year the open primary used Diebold voting machines. It's likely that Cynthia was a victim of Diebold fraud. She now faces a run-off with Hank Johnson, who has piles of advertising money from Republican donors. To read about the fraud, see: http://cynthiaforcongress.com/news.php?id=29

WHY IS KOS ALLOWING ADVERTISING FOR HER OPPONENT, a Republican stooge, Hank Johnson? This is a guy that Diebold could really get behind. Why is Kos behind it too? I really hope it's just laziness.

[It's a lazy way to earn some easy Blogola Bucks.]

Cynthia McKinney is a progressive in every sense of the word. She was one of our first and only congresspeople to speak out against Bush's manipulation of the events of 9/11 for political gain, and it almost cost her her political life. She has also been more active than almost any other Democratic politician in uncovering voter fraud in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections.

[Too bad she was too cheap to shell out some Blogola Bucks in the form of an ad in KOmmieland. I guess she wrongly assumed that Kos would support her without a payoff.]

I have no connection with Cynthia Kinney's campaign, or any other. I don't work in politics. I'm just a concerned citizen. And seeing that ad makes me never want to visit this site again. If you feel the same way, reccomend this diary, so Kos and other site administrators can read this.

[Seeing that anti-McKinney ad makes me want to visit KOmmieland again and again. Ironically, the anti-McKinney ad is RIGHT NEXT to your griping about that ad. And now to read your fellow KOmmies agonizing over this latest KOs Blogola scandal...]

Are you aware that during the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China educators, professionals, and officials targeted by the mobs were forces to stand on chairs wearing placards with their names crossed out - confess their sins before the raving crowd - have things thrown at them - before they were murdered? I find the ad offensive whoever the target. But, you are right. McKinney has done so a whole lot for the progressive cause and has dared to ask unpopular, but necessary questions. It is a barometer of the future direction of this site.

[And now Cynthia McKinney must stand on a chair wearing a placard with her picture crossed out and confess before a raving crowd that she was too cheap to shell out Blogola ad payments to the Almighty KOs.]

Ad's Phrasing Looks Like A Statement of Community.Ban McKinney, she will "discredit our cause" - many people visiting the site will not completley understand that that is "just an ad", I'm sure. Whether people want to address that supposed "ignorance" or not, is another issue. However, the ad's graphic image is offensive enough that with that text, it brands the site in a very particular context that is not good for Democrats and not good for DK.

[Visitors to KOmmieland will understand that Blogola is involved.]

I have not figured out what this woman has done that has generated this kind of hostility among progressives. . .Leiberman, that's clear. But Kinney, all people write about is that she's "strident". Maybe she is, but where? when? what? who? And the stuff with that police officer. . .When a grand jury REFUSED to indict her, which makes her less indictable than a ham sandwich. . . the house "ethics committee" was going to investigate her?? Can you say railroaded?
And the only thing substantive I know about her is that she asked THE question. Is there any thing I'm missing?

[Yes. You are missing the big Blogola Bucks that the Head KOmmie, KOs, earned from that ad.]

She's guilty of being an assertive black woman. That makes white conservatives and white pseudo-liberals very nervous.

[And yet she is ATTACKED on a "progressive" blog. Sorry, but EVIL conservatives are NOT responsible for that ad.]

I mean, I know you. You're not someone to throw things like that around lightly. From everything I've learned about this women she's way out in tin-hat country. I don't care if she's black and asseritive, I do care that it sounds like she has aa few screws lose.

[ONLY a few?]

Markos has bills to pay. He pays them through ads. I don't believe he filters his ads, although I don't know. Let's say Karl Rove wants to pay the programmers' and hosters' rent, and Markos' mortgage with ads here for disgusting neocon candidates, why is that a problem? Do you think anyone here is going to be politically converted by the ads? Do you think the coverage is going to become muted if they do? Is taking money from someone an endorsement of them??? In fact, it's a way of taking money away from them and putting it to better use. Go to the ads thing and see how easy it is to buy one. And please go ahead and buy one. We'll all be very grateful you did, but if you spout bullshit, we'll still peel your face off verbally and wipe our asses with it.

[MarKOS has bills to pay. So just shell out the Blogola Bucks to him in the form of ads. It might not buy his outright support but at least it will keep him from supporting your political opponent. Joe Lieberman should have learned that lesson months ago.]

That advert is highly offensive. It should be removed, immediately.

[I say KEEP the ad. It is like an advertisement that KOs accepts Blogola payoffs.]

Ads Message: 'Ban McKinney - She Discredits Us'. That's not a welcoming message, nor is it particularly encouraging of free speech within our community or the democratic party. And given her status as one of very few African American representatives, the imagery is quite shocking, particularly to people sensitive to issues related to race or bias. Serving such an Ad here, on the front page, at the top of the page, can only serve the enemies of the Democratic party, not Democrats, nor even liberal or progressive Democrats. It's extremely offensive and divisive imagery.

[Which is why it is being featured in this edition of the DUmmie FUnnies. The source of that ad pic is the "progressive" Daily Kos itself.]

That image is burned in my brain already. That ad is extremely divisive. Being subjected to it nonstop while browsing is extremely distracting and sickening.

[That ad image has been seared, SEARED into my brain. It happened on Christmas 1968 when President Nixon sent me into Cambodia.]

This is an outrage and disgrace. Protests to Kos should ensue.

[Ah! More DUFU material!]

"Machine Vote-Flipping Claimed in McKinney Primary"

If you want a good sneak preview about the whining SURE to happen right after this November's elections, you need to look no further than the recent Democrat primary election in Georgia in which Cynthia McKinney claims that those nasty machines flipped votes away from her. Even though McKinney got the most votes in the election she is now aggravated that she is forced into a runoff due to not getting an outright majority. So does she blame herself for not bothering to show up for her election debate? No. It is the fault of the Diebold machines as you can see in this DUmmie THREAD titled, "Machine Vote-Flipping Claimed in McKinney Primary." And if you think the incredible level of whining is bad now, just wait until right after the November elections. So let us now watch the whining over Diebold in Bold Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, wondering if a Diebold ATM machine could flip his $100 deposit into $10,000, is in the [brackets]:

Machine Vote-Flipping Claimed in McKinney Primary

[Multiply this headline about 300 times and you get an idea of the whine level following this November's elections.]

(APN) ATLANTA –“You’ve got electronic voting machines. Many people called in and shared their concern. They pushed the button for Cynthia McKinney and Hank Johnson came up. It wasn’t one time, it wasn’t two times, it was many, many times,” Karen Fitzpatrick, who has been monitoring elections for US Rep. McKinney’s re-election campaign, told Atlanta Progressive News in an exclusive interview.

[So did they complain RIGHT THERE at their election polling place when it happened or when they found out later that McKinney was forced into an inconvenient runoff election?]

Let me repeat: The McKinney Campaign says they have documented complaints of voters here in Georgia whose votes FLIPPED BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES on Diebold machines.

[Let me repeat: the McKinney mind FLIPPED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES.]

“It started early this morning. There were well over 25 to 30 calls that came in . Many of them went to the poll manager . In some cases, the poll managers said there’s nothing we can do. In some cases the voter left frustrated as if their vote had been compromised, as if it had been stolen,” Fitzpatrick said.

[Wrong. The poll workers can SHUT DOWN a machine if there are complaints about it. Also how many poll workers actually reported such complaints? Now on to the normal DUmmie paranoia...]

If it had happened to me and they told me nothing could be done... I'd have run around the voting precinct unplugging all of the PCs and calling 911!!!

[It didn't happen to you and it didn't even happen to them.]

Frankly I find this story hard to believe because out of dozens of people SOMEBODY is bound to blow a fuse and do something about it.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

I hope EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS that this is what is going to keep on happenin and will be widespread this November. I am not sure of what the solution is, but I do know that I would NOT be putting my vote on one of these machines.

[The solution is don't vote then you don't have to worry about your vote being flipped.]

If you're right, they can't get away with it forever
Sooner or later SOMEONE inside the conspiracy is going to get pissed off at his or her superiors and spill the beans. As you increase the number of people who are in on a secret, the chance of it getting compromised increases exponentially.

[And what a iron-tight conspiracy it must be involving THOUSANDS of voting precincts and many thousands more of poll workers yet not ONE has broken their oath of Omerta.]

They take advantage of people they know will not challenge them... they know they can win by a state of confusion, disorganization, and vague explanations and people just leave discouraged. We need Democrat cameras, managers at each poll place -- there must be a Plan B for problems.

[How about Democrats to accompany each and every voter into the poll booth to ensure that their vote goes correctly?]

If the machine is calibrated wrong ...and when people touch one candidate, another comes up, some people will complain and some won't.

[DUmmies will ALWAYS complain from the moment they see the Diebold name on their voting machines.]

Sooner or later that will happen to a Howard Beale And the secret will be out.

["I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO VOTE ANY LONGER!!!]

There are right ways and wrong ways to accomplish things. As one of the Dem officials, I would have taken the machine out of commission and handed th voter a provisional ballot. then you can the Board of Elections and report the error.

[And isn't it strange how that DIDN'T happen in the McKinney election? The complaints came in AFTER the voting happened.]

Something stinks to me as well. McKinney is the Republican's ideal opponent at this point. She got defeated in an election before and given her escapade on the Hill I don't see why she couldn't be defeated again this year. Why in the world would you rig the machine to give someone who's less controversial the primary win?

[And this DUmmie WINS a Cynthia McKinney Kewpie Doll for having a brief moment of mental clarity.]

I would have thrown all of the machines on the ground.

[Then handcuffed them and read them their Miranda rights.]

It does not matter that she won anyway. What matters is the behavior of the goddam machines!

[Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.]

Who is going to fix this before November????????????

[Karl Rove.]

What are you going to do to help get this fixed.??? Not meant to be a bitch about this...but having watched the 2004 get stolen and no noticeable movement of people outraged about it in the streets ( I do realize some did, maybe even you did) but until the fat asses get moving and voicing their outrage in the streets and on EVERY street corner...nothing is gonna change and your rights will continue to be stripped away at every turn....

[ALL your Diebolds belong to US!!!]

May I suggest that someone first get some hard evidence of a problem? The more I think about it, the more skeptical I am of hearsay about machines doing weird things. This one is especially troubling because, putting on my tinfoil Conspiracy theory hat, I can't imagine that the Con would bother messing with this particular election. Every time the alleged conspirators mess with an election they risk getting caught. Why take that risk when there is ZERO potential return?

[We like pointlessly fixing the Diebold machines just for the risk taking THRILL of it.]

we need to bust into and destroy these god damn machines they need to become pieces of garbage to be hauled away

[Are the Diebold machines made of aluminum? You can make some good bucks by selling them for scrap.]

they owe her one for the pimp-slapping of a Capitol Cop

[So now she is pimp-slapping the Diebold machines.]

"punching the cop" is RW spin

[Correct. She was merely "pimp-slapping" the cop.]

I Personally Witnessed ES&S Machines Change Democratic Votes To Republican Votes in early voting in Dallas County Texas. HAVA is the worst thing to happen to America. You can't deny what my eyes saw while working as am election clerk.

[Which you are just now conveniently reporting LONG after the fact.]

Reported It To The Democratic Party - They Did Nothing. I was willing to sign an affidavit. No Takers!

[Translation: Even the Democrats laughed at my bogus claim.]

Only solution -- EVERYBODY MUST BRING A CAMCORDER INTO VOTING BOOTH.

[AND SUBMIT THE RESULTS TO STUPIDVIDEOS.COM.]

GREAT IDEA! I'm going to take one in for the 2006 election vote. Video proof will be shared if I experience any monkey business...

[And when the poll worker forbids you to enter the voting booth with a camcorder that will be your basis to allege vote fraud.]

Can't understand how people put up with this charade of voting - It is so obvious the votes are compromised and yet our JUSTICE DEPT is nowhere in sight. What the hell are we paying their salaries for if our legal eagles won't fly? You'd think even the local police would try to put a stop to this travesty of election fraud. Has anyone filmed a vote switching like is described? Maybe that could be put on local TV for everyone to see before they go vote.

[In Palm Beach County in November 2000, a Democrat official was caught with a Votomatic paper ballot machine and hundreds of blank ballots. He was shown with a sheepish smile on camera after he was caught. Is that good enough for you?]

WE HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BEFORE THE F*CKING ELECTION DAMN IT!

[Your mental meltdown this November will be FUn to watch!]

There are election reform groups all over the country
challenging these machines. Filing suits. Find one and help them. They need you.

[Bev Harris is just $10 away from filing an election suit.]

With the setup GA uses, you select your votes on the touch screen. The one you've selected is highlighted. When you're done, you get a summary screen of all of your selections. You can then change your selections, or touch the confirm button and submit your ballot. So, did people submit their ballot knowing their selections were not what they intended? Why would they do that? I'm not saying the system isn't very flawed, but I bet this is has more to do with voter confusion, in this case, than any conspiracy.

[Please don't kill this hilarious paranoid voting thread with boring rationality.]

That is the system here. You must approve your choices before you leave, so the chances the votes "changed" are nil and none.

[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]

Welcome to November 2006. I don't care how far ahead Dems are in November. the GOP and the electronic voting technology companies WILL NOT let the Dems take either house. Poll sin the fonal days and on election day will show the Dems leading. Exit polls will show the Dems winning. But the final tallies will give the key races to the GOP candidate. We are sooooooooooooooooooooo screwed people.

[You sure are!]

Will these people stop at nothing!?!?! I can't belive it. Sure, winning is great, but to go to these CHEATING lengths to win is UNCALLED for. You have to learn to loose graciously, which is something most Republicans today are totally inept at doing. God Damn.... I'm worried about november. If the Republicans win, I'm gonna know there was some vote tampering, for sure....

[The new standard of vote tampering is that if a Republican wins then that is definite proof of vote fraud.]
