I hate to be a bitch, BUT --

[CatWoman]

Karl Rove thumbs his nose at the Dems, and refuses to testify. Dem response? They will probably take him out to dinner and a movie.

GOP congressmen are about to embark on a tour of the Alaskan Wildlife Preserve to gain more talking points about the joys of drilling there. Dem response? Present each GOPer with a gold plated shovel.

I'm sick of this shit.

After yesterday I'm tempted to take the name of a former DUer that I've always loved and respected: NothingShocksMeAnymore.

What will their response be to Chimpy if he invades Iran? A blow job????

[lonestarnot]

1. ditto!

K & R

[hisownpetard]

2. It truly is shameful and beyond explanation, unless they are complicit and afraid of

legal repercussions (as well as their own shadows).

[barbtries]

3. if so, we might be able to get impeachment

back on the table. yes, let's hope it's a blow job!

[Diamonique]

4. It won't be a blow job.

That will get them impeached.

[demnan]

5. Right you are, Catwoman!

I got throughly disgusted with the Dems because they didn't impeach the bastards. I have pretty much decided to take some time away from politics except as a specator sport anymore.

[truedelphi]

33. May I join you in that pursuit??

I feel more would get accomplished if I better my badminton skills - at least I'll have the satisfaction of burning off some calories.
:hi:

[Marrah_G]

6. I agree- I feel like a fool

I actually believed the Party would grow a spine. Even as weak as the repukes are, our Party just keeps rolling over. They have yet to stand up to them on ANYTHING.

I am incredibly disappointed in them.

[CatWoman]

8. I'm ashamed of being a fucking Democrat

[Cyrano]

7. I'm predicting that Bush will not only pardon

every one of his thugs before leaving office, but will also award each of them the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

I also expect that the Dems will show up for the award's ceremony and applaud.

[tridim]

9. In just the past hour the House JC has announced they're pursuing contempt for Rove

and Pelosi may have just put impeachment back on the table.

FWIW.

[gateley]

16. Thanks for the links -- and the info. nt

[Carni]

43. I will believe this when I see results from it

In the mean time I will continue to voice my complete outrage.

You know damned well they will not make moves to impeach this close to an election...and as a matter of fact, they will probaby use that as their excuse.

[Phillycat]

10. Calling someone a bitch for simply speaking the truth is the provenance

of neocons. You are no bitch. You speak the truth.

[Cant trust em]

11. Lukovich on point as usual.

Best political cartoonist around these days.

[tnlefty]

12. K and R...

I'm sick of this shit, too. I've considered donating a few vertebrae to help to give them a spine, but they'd probably just give that away, too. :hi:

[Carni]

44. Better send them a few sets of cajones as well

Because to date they have precious few.

[Individualist]

13. If that makes you a bitch, then I'm one too.

:)

[jus_the_facts]

14. I feel your pain Midori....

....us bitches can stick together!! :hug: :loveya:

[meegbear]

15. If he gets a blowjob, we can impeach!!

:woohoo:

[gateley]

17. Well this bitch agrees with you --

and that cartoon absolutely nails it! :headbang:

[bdamomma]

18. it would be more interesting who would be giving *

a BJ.

[FloridaJudy]

22. Oh hell.

You'd have to give me a ton of drugs and a gallon of Listerine, but if that's what it takes to get rid of the slimy SOB, I'll volunteer. Of course, I can't promise not to bite at the first opportunity...

[bdamomma]

29. ..............

:rofl:

[KamaAina]

34. I'm not sure a whole gallon of Listerine would be necessary

I haven't checked, obviously, but I've always imagined it as pretty small...

[FloridaJudy]

36. It's not the size

It's the so-called person attached. Mind you, I wouldn't do this for any amount of money, or even to save the life of my dog (she's thirteen years old and has had a good life) but we're talking about a nation of more than 300 million that's a nuclear superpower. I'd probably get at least a brazillion Karma Points for making the sacrifice.

And I may be north of sixty, but thanks to my genius dentist I still have all my teeth...

[paparush]

61. FloridaJudy Steps Up and Takes One for the Team!! Now THAT'S Leadership!

[rateyes]

19. Well, if he gets the blow job

we'll finally have grounds to impeach. :sarcasm:

[boobooday]

20. Your cartoon pretty much says it all.

There is no opposition.

[TahitiNut]

21. I miss NSMA.

One of my very favorite DUers.
(along with you, my favorite melon licker!) :hug:

[CatWoman]

23. *smooch*

:hi:

:loveya:

[Dudley_DUright]

46. I miss NSMA too

She was the very first to greet me when I joined DU (lo these many years ago).

[Lorien]

60. Me too. What ever happened to her? n/t

[ljm2002]

24. One really sad thing about it...

...is that the Democrats in Congress and their defenders here and elsewhere, always claim that they "have to" give in due to the "realities" of politics.

Puhleeze.

It wasn't just the left wing that voted in a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress in 2006. It was lots of American voters who wanted change, especially in the Iraq policy. Americans want out of that engagement, in fact, the majority never wanted in in the first place.

But we have cowardly appeasers as far as the eye can see.

And the *political* result? 9% approval rating for Congress.

Pragmatism over principles, yeah, that really worked well.

[NNN0LHI]

25. First no one is going to invade Iran

So that point is moot.

Don

[paparush]

62. Invade, no. Bomb the shit out of....probably.

[LWolf]

26. Bitch or not,

you are correct.

And I appreciate the chance to stop and remember, for a moment, NSMA, who took no prisoners herself.

Edited to add:

I wonder who's on the hood of her car these days? :evilgrin:

[NashVegas]

27. Wordy Freaking Word, CatWoman!

[Joe Fields]

28. It is your duty to bitch, when such grievous harm is done to our country.

Thank you, and great sympathy here from one who also doesn't know where it all ends.

[Jack Rabbit]

30. Excellent, unfortunately

!!

[mnhtnbb]

31. Yes!! Give Chimpy a BJ! Then he can finally be impeached!

[RubyDuby in GA]

32. No you don't. And that is why we love you.

Besides, someone has to tell the truth and that may as well be you.

:hi:

[Ignis]

35. They're ... uh ... keeping their powder dry?

:banghead:

[JNelson6563]

37. You're way off here.

You and I both know this ain't going to result in dinner and a movie. No, ol' Karl's prolly shittin' himself cause he'll soon be receiving a sternly worded letter. That'll show that little bastard!

*sigh* May the gods help us.

Julie

[Liberal_Dog]

38. I Agree 1000%

I'm fed up too.

[xchrom]

39. well, you MIGHT hate bein a bitch --

but i don't hate being one -- and you
-- you wonderful woman -- are 100% correct.

[spanone]

40. i hate to be a bastard... BUT

i sometimes wonder why the fuck i waste my time worrying when the people elected to represent me don't give a flying rats-ass what i think

criminals, both sides of the isle

[leftchick]

41. I guess that makes me a bitch as well

I sure feel like I have been bitch-slapped by them. Over and over and over....


:thumbsup:

[Carni]

42. I am beyond F'ing disgusted

Before 06 --

"Oh we can't do ANYTHING about bush...we don't have the numbers bla bla bla bla"

06 majority win...some other lame excuse FOR MONTHS.

Now FISA...next it will be something else (Iran comes to mind)

WHY ARE WE PAYING THESE PEOPLE?

I.AM.SICK.OF.THIS.SHIT.

COMPLETE GRIDLOCK in congress would be a welcome change, because they do nothing and what they do *accomplish* typically seems to be to the public's detriment...

[ellie]

45. How is tellling

the truth being a bitch? I can't believe how disgusted and angry I am. Very, very angry.

[Zomby Woof]

47. If Teena hasn't seen your thread

I will let her know. :-)

-- ZombyPisser ;-) :loveya:

[CatWoman]

48. thanks, Doll

:hi:

:loveya:

I really miss her :cry:

[gulfcoastliberal]

49. It's obvious we're stuck in a totalitarian state.

Our "democracy" is BS window dressing. We've let the fascists win.

[tyedyeto]

50. Very appropo for the goings on these days.

Another who misses NSMA.

[Olney Blue]

51. I'm feeling sold out these days.

[BlooInBloo]

52. I don't think you properly appreciate the psychological damage those sternly worded letters can do.

[CatWoman]

53. have you been hanging around with Underpants?

:hi:

[BlooInBloo]

56. Hah!

muah!

[NC_Nurse]

54. Well, if being disgusted at these spineless wonders makes you a bitch, then

I'm one too. And I miss NSMA too. :(

[KharmaTrain]

55. Call It Boooosh Fatigue

If there's one thing that is right now bi-partisan its the desire for all of us to see georgie booooosh go far, far away. After 7 1/2 years of this shitstain, people are tired of him and his cabal. It's like the relative who moves into your house, stole all your food and money...and all you're just happy to see 'em leave. The appetite to replace is stronger than that to figure out what happened. Right now it's a luxuary to be outraged about Rove antics when millions are fighting to keep jobs, houses and sanity.

I suggest that we could see a big change in the mindset of this country following the elections. With the boooosh regime on its way out and more Democrats on their way in, let's see how the corporate media reacts...and the "rank and file" as well. Who knows, if the election is a big blow out, we may be able to count on some GOOPers to help us bury the whole lot.

Also remember...any indictment against Rove at this point is sure to be met with a pardon. He's daring to be hauled in so they can play that get out of jail card. While it sucks...if we don't give this regime the ability or excuse to pardon now could mean justice later. It's up to us to never forget...and make sure those who we elect don't either.

[samsingh]

57. its sad really

[OneBlueSky]

58. "What will their response be to Chimpy if he invades Iran? A blow job????" . . .

words to live by . . .

"Never follow an good ass-fucking with a blow job." . . .

fwiw . . . :evilgrin:

[NorthCarolina]

59. The Dems are not "complacent", rather they are "complicit"

and we can thank the infiltration of DLC and Blue Dog DINO's for transforming the Democratic Party into a clone of the Republican party. Vote them out at every opportunity....time for Democrats to reclaim their party.
