bushism of the day

annie b (mcliberal) — Tue, 20 May 2008 16:22:38 EDT

Here's a Slate "Bushism of the Day" that flew under the radar. Bush is responding to a question about what advice he would give the next president:

"Take the Middle East seriously because that's the center of -- that's the place where people get so despondent and despair that they're willing to come and take lives of U.S. citizens." -- on advice he would give the next president, Washington, D.C., May 12, 2008.

annie b (mcliberal) — Sun, 18 May 2008 06:01:52 EDT

it's sunday, and it's time for a rollicking roundup of the who's who on today's talk shows! cnn's the biggie this week, with senator hillary clinton! yay!! also joining the wolfster: trent lott, former senator from mississippi whose district just went blue for the third time this year! bwahahahaha! this scenario will be covered elsewhere today, including "faux noise sunday" with karl rove (ugh!) and senator jon kyl and abc's "this week" with rep john boehner (hee...). chris dodd will also be on faux today, and joe biden drops by "this week". everybody's favorite gopee minister, mike huckaboodledoodledoo, will be a featured panelist on "meet the press" along with harold ford, jr, mike murphy and bob shrum. yawn. the first half hour goes to senator jim webb. huckabee's campaign (?) adviser ed rollins is slated for "face the nation" along with florida guv charlie crist. cbs also offers former guvs mario cuomo and roy romer. sounds like a snoozefest to me! well, have at it, boys and girls---the menu is complete!! happy sunday!!

a message from hillary on michigan and florida

annie b (mcliberal) — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:29:19 EDT

Dear Annie,

Millions of voters in Florida and Michigan are depending on you to help make sure they have a voice in this race. Will you stand up for them today?

Thanks to your efforts, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of people who have already spoken out, the DNC's Rules and Bylaws Committee is meeting May 31 to make a decision about whether or not the votes in Michigan and Florida will count.

Now I need you to urge the DNC to make the right decision on May 31. I need you to remind them that in the Democratic Party, we count every vote.

Tell the Democratic National Committee to count the votes of Florida and Michigan.

On May 31, the DNC has a chance to make it clear that the people of Florida and Michigan have a voice in our party. The decision is especially critical given the important role these states will play in November.

And your voice could make the difference for the millions of people who went to the polls in those two states to make their choice for president.

Stand with me today and tell the DNC to count the votes in Florida and Michigan.

I have consistently said that every vote must count. It is such an important principle in our party. I really appreciate you standing up for the values we share.

Thank you,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

msnbc garbage: the tonya harding effect

annie b (mcliberal) — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:53:02 EDT

msnbc continues to blur the lines of actual journalism and complete horsepucky by interviewing tonya harding. the suggestion, however unsubtle, is that clinton would resort to harding-like tactics against barack obama. our champions of truth, the watchdogs at mediamatters.org, cut through the baloney.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200805150005?lid=300607&rid=8197829

by the way, harding and kerrigan are now good friends. seriously! they're opening a disco together! it will be called "club nancy!"

i'm here til tuesday! try the veal!

clinton - why i'm still running

annie b (mcliberal) — Wed, 14 May 2008 11:25:23 EDT

Dear Annie,

There are some people out there who want to declare this race over now, before all the ballots have been counted or even cast. There are some who say they don't know why I'm in this race. So let me tell you why I'm still running.

I'm in this race for everyone who needs a champion. For the hardworking families who are losing sleep over gas prices and grocery costs and mortgage payments and medical bills -- but who never lose that American can-do spirit and optimism.

I'm in this race for the more than 16 million people like you who have supported me -- for the people who have put their hearts into winning this race. You never gave up on me, and I'll never give up on you.

We are in the homestretch. After sixteen months, there are only three weeks left to compete in the final contests. With your help I'm going to keep fighting until every last American has a chance to be heard, and as we learned last night in West Virginia, I know we can win.

Your support has made the difference for this campaign before -- you know you can make the difference for me again. Please help keep our campaign moving forward.

Contribute now to keep our campaign going strong.

I'm also in this race because I have the best chance of beating John McCain in November and putting America on the right track.

We proved something in West Virginia last night -- a state every Democratic president has won since 1916. And we proved something in a few other battleground states that have a history of picking presidents. Pennsylvania. Ohio. Arkansas. New Hampshire. New Jersey. New Mexico. Nevada. And, yes, Michigan and Florida.

I am in this race, and so are you, because we both know the stakes in this election are too high to stay on the sidelines.

So let's keep going together, you and me. Let's keep driving our campaign forward, and let's keep winning.

Make a contribution today to help me win.

I want to thank you again for the incredible generosity of spirit you have shown over the course of this campaign. Together, you and I are going to make history.

Thank you,

Hillary Rodham Clinton

more misogyny from matthews

annie b (mcliberal) — Wed, 14 May 2008 07:27:19 EDT

could this man be any more annoying? mediamatters.org details chris matthews' latest foray into offensive, sexist, misogynistic behavior. i thought he hit rock bottom when he groped ellen. i was incorrect.
