And here I thought you authored all those books~ LOL

Grayson, nooooo! Never apologize for telling the truth.

Grayson should have apologized.

To the hard-working prostitutes who do their work without denying thousands of people affordable healthcare.

Aw, Ahnold was just quoting one of his famous lines from "The Terminator" (you know, the one that the cyborg delivers after getting an electronic prompt from his computer-brain about how to answer a knock on the door). He just left off the last word.

I'm curious. Where is the Obama team this week? It doesn't seem like they are providing senator Reid one drop of support, which convinces me more they were pulling for the trigger option.

I never thought I'd see the day when I approved of Reid over Obama. What a disappointment the later has been on this issue.

Steve: "Keep in mind, the lighting was off, and my makeup was weird, so I look much paler in the video than I do in real life."

And here I thought that since it was Halloween week, Madow's make-up people decided to celebrate early by having you go on the air looking like a cadaver. ;-)

Well now that you MENTION it...saw you on Rachael and yes you DID look off but I thought it was just the new digital...

"Taliban militants wearing suicide vests stormed a guest house used by U.N. staff in the heart of the Afghan capital early Wednesday, killing 12 people -- including six U.N. staff --"

This is why we must leave Afghanistan. These people will blow themselves to bits and take others with them until we leave, all for some worthless patch of dirt and mountains. No conquering empire has ever held the crossroads of Asia and it's stupid to think we can.

I say barricade the Taliban completely; seal all the Afghan borders and cut off any sort of aid at all. Let the people who allow the Taliban to rule them suffer. It must be this way. Change will only come from within, from the people, and right now they're going with the safest bet. It will be easier to contain the Taliban's reach and influence than defeat them in this treacherous part of the world.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says a lot of outrageous things. Opposing the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education isn't one of them.

I don't understand why he doesn't. Scalia claims to be a "strict constructionist", and there's nothing in the Constitution that prohibits "separate but equal". He should be proud to find fault with the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.

Perpetuawar.

That's what we've got. The news out of Afghanistan

should shut up all disbelievers.

We are in the Mid-East until all the drug profits are ours!!!

Screw oil.

It doesn't seem like they are providing senator Reid one drop of support, which convinces me more they were pulling for the trigger option.

I talked to Barack this morning and he asked about you. He was genuinely worried that you might be going a whole couple of days without assuming the worst of him. He said he didn't think your system could take the shock, so he's lying low to give you a chance to find your negative equilibrium.

Somebody say "dick cheney"?

God damn Dick Cheney's shit-filled soul to hell.

Great interview, but you did look just like a corpse.

The luke warm support for the rare necroologist is so cold .

Schwarzenegger, that was Awesome!

You are soooo unfair to the governator and his spokesbot. Your calculation assumes that letters are used randomly so an x is as common as an e.

Nooo way. My view on the governor's message is

Fairness and
understanding would be
created by
knowledge of the frequencies of letter use.

He was clearly counting on us being
idiots, or on our sense of humor and on our being
mad at irresponsible state legislators.

Paul Begala labels Joe Lieberman "Traitor Joe."

Is that the first time that's been said? It seems so obvious. Perfectly appropriate. Good call Paul.

He was clearly counting on us being
idiots, or on our sense of humor and on our being
mad at irresponsible state legislators.

Second this. It was rather clever of him. And while I don't know the context of the debate, I don't even know what the bill was he vetoed, I don't think it's worth pulling out the smelling salts for. It isn't productive but it is certainly not Dick Cheney telling Leahy to f**k himself.

I admire Alan Grayson. Anyone is capable of a faux pax. It happens to the best of us.
I think he has guts. The dialog has changed since he asserted himself, and indeed he influenced public opinion. Sometimes we humans go over the top, which he might have done with this latest comment. Forgiven, he apologized.
The health care news is distressing and too much time is passing. It is like a downer,
same old same old, and now Lieberman's emergence--am ready to tune out, drop out.

Ahmed Wali Karzai, on the CIA's payroll?

CIA informant *and* drug kingpin.

How long before we start hearing about our boys and girls coming home opium addicts?

The Ahhnold link does not say what you say it does. Why?

Traitor Joe? That's Ann Coulter-speak for someone with whom you disagree. Lieberman is loyal to the US and to the voters of Connecticut. How is being wrong on Iraq/Afpak (as claimed) a justification to be wrong on health care reform?

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia says a lot of outrageous things. Opposing the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education isn't one of them.

This has dogged Scalia for a long time. Some 20 yrs ago I had the, er, privilege to see Scalia speak in person, and he was asked about how, given his belief in the doctrine of Original Understanding, he could have possibly not dissented in Brown. He wasn't able to formulate a sensible response, which most everyone in the crowd interpreted as him being full of shit.

Our Governor, so classy: like a classy septic tank filled brimming with roid-waste.

I saw you on "RM" last night. You squinted like a guy who wasn't wearing his glasses. Contacts for next time, perhaps?

Washington DC.

"The Washington Post today reported that President North announced...".

"Wealthy Democratic donors occasionally visit the White House. I'm not sure why anyone would find that shocking."

CBS News did a big story on this during their Evening News. Interesting note, during the intro, Katie Couric stated they did this story "in partnership with the Washington Times".

Gee, why not just partner up with the Republican National Committee ? May as well get the propaganda straight from the source, instead of regurgitated by a fake newspaper like the Moony Times.

The media hyped up the fraudlent Duke lacrosse case for months, screaming racism, only to have it fail. Selena Roberts parlayed that debacle into an A-Rod smear about steroids.

The media has said nothing about another case involving racism, only this case was based in facts and the accused has been found guilty:

Thanks for the informative answer Tom K. Great to know the administration has fluffers like yourself waiting in the wings with c grade snark.

Indulge me:
Cut and pasted from Joe Conason
"Despite his boundless pretensions, Sen. Joe Lieberman is not and has never been a font of foreign policy wisdom. His opinions derive as much from expedience and vanity as any consistent worldview. He will say whatever serves his ambitions at a given moment.

Running against antiwar Democrat Ned Lamont... for instance, he promised Connecticut voters that we were on the cusp of victory in Iraq. "I am confident that the situation is improving enough on the ground that by the end of this year, we will begin to draw down significant numbers of American troops," he said in October 2006, "and by the end of the next year more than half of the troops who are there now will be home."
Within weeks after winning that election, of course, Lieberman was joining with Sen. John McCain, his friend and ideological ally, in support of sending 30,000 additional American troops to Iraq -- and bringing exactly none home.

Was he lying when he offered that false but comforting assurance in the heat of a Senate campaign? Was he simply unable to distinguish between reality and his own propaganda? A similar set of questions confronted readers of a Lieberman essay on foreign policy and the Democrats that appeared Wednesday in the Wall Street Journal, where we can expect the "independent Democrat" to appear often during the coming months as a turncoat surrogate for McCain -- because today he evidently hopes for appointment as a token Democrat in a Republican Cabinet, or even a second nomination as vice president, on the Republican ticket."

Marginalize Joe Lieberman, Ubiquitous Traitor to the Democratic Party. Take away the committee chairmanship. Dems--play hardball with this duplicitious man.

Op ed news says it well---
"...Joe Lieberman has shown that beneath his long cultivated veil of gentility, beneath his "nice family guy" image, beneath his smiles and his baby kissing, lies a ruthless, shrewd, coldly calculating level self-interest that has finally resulted in an assault on the party he's stealthily resided in and abused for 18 years..."

Is the heavy concentration of the insurance industry in Connecticut influencing his vote?

"It has nothing to do with it," Joe LIEberman said.

Yes Steve I saw you and you were great along with Rachel.

Marler, @20:09,

Once a prick, always a prick. And it's true -- in equal measure -- of both Lieberprick and you.

To think that, only yesterday, I tried to defend you... Sheesh.

Re: prom article...
Absolutely gut wrenching.
As a mother of 3 girls, my heart dropped & I tasted vomit.
Worlds worst nightmare for any female.

And in this fucked up health care climate, a pre-existing condition!

RE: Fed Reserve Official called K Street Whore

I read the link you provided and it turns out that the congressman in question called a lobbyist hired by the Federal Reserve exactly that.

I am not sure that a lobbyist hired by the Fed qualifies as a Federal Reserve Official, unless the lobbyist is perhaps employed full-time and in-house, rather than retained as an outside consultant or contractor, or advisor.

What I think is funny about Arnold's FU is how the media is treating it (WM included): Apparently the phrase can be printed vertically without asterisks, but not horizontally.

Yeah. Thank you for the link to your Rachel Maddow appearance, otherwise I would have missed it.

"Lieberman is loyal to the US and to the voters of Connecticut"

and just how many of my fellow CT voters did you check this with?

Lieberman is not a traitor. He has been consistently true to the only thing he cares about: Joe Lieberman.

To think that, only yesterday, I tried to defend you... Sheesh.

Since his Party's humiliating defeat in the 2008 election, Marler has adopted a pretense of being an honest commentator -- thoroughly unconvincing to those of us long familiar with the bad faith argumentation he displays here, of course.

I don't know which amuses me more -- the tacit acknowledgement of his lack of credibility, or the fact that on occasion he can't resist dropping the pretense, and usually for the most loathsome of reasons; in this case, to defend the slimy Joe Leiberman.

Marler, you jackass, we disagreed with Lieberman before he publicly stated that he could support a Republican filibuster of health care reform. And I remind you that he stabbed the Democrats in the back before by campaigning for McCain.

As for Lieberman's loyalties, your unsupported assertions are, as always, wholly unconvincing, even leaving aside his betrayal of his political party that you, of course, dishonestly ignore.

Shame on you, Marler.
