You are only a Republican until you get caught.

I guess not, but I’ve seen him called ROTFLMAO a lot (even in this thread). Not sure if that qualifies.

He is a really damn funny guy, though. Told me so himself.

Oh, they’re throwing him under the bus, of course. To them, Ted Stevens (R-AK) was *never* a true conservative (perish the thought!) but a criminal with an R after his name. They’re trying to paint him as unrepresentative of the Republican Party overall.

Ted Stevens indicted, longest-serving GOP senator
Sen. Ted Stevens, the longest-serving Republican senator and a figure in Alaska politics since before statehood, was indicted today on seven counts of failing to disclose thousands of dollars in services he received from a company that helped renovate and maintain his home. The first sitting U.S. senator to face federal indictment since 1993, Stevens has been dogged by a federal investigation into his home renovation project and his dealings with wealthy oil contractor.

Why doesn’t one of those fancy-schmancy pundits write about that?

Four legs good, two legs better!

If highly-paid, widely-distributed “liberal” media “pundit” Richard Cohen were capable of remembering the line of corporatist-approved anti-Kerry bullshit he peddled so enthusiastically four long years ago, and if h.p.w-d.l.m.p. RC were capable of matching those smears about Kerry against the actual historical records of his man-crush McCain… then he would not be Richard Cohen. It is clear by all available metrics that Richard Cohen is no cynical shill willing to shout any slander for the right price; Richard Cohen is a genuine godsdamned lickspittle and born dupe who believes whatever phantasmagorical filth his corporatist masters would have him peddle because he is psychologically incapable of telling hard fact from enticing fiction. In Richard Cohen’s narrow, economicly-restricted universe, it’s not lying if you really really REALLY would prefer your “interpretation” to be true, especially if said “interpretation” is applauded by all your fellow high-price media village whores idiots.

When the history of the end of America is written, Richard Cohen will play a role analogous to the role of Caligula’s horse. Even if one has no personal animus against horses in general, the elevation of this particular specimen can only be interpreted as an insult against the commonwealth. Also, the horse may not be responsible for its genetic lack of sphinter control, but giving the beast free run of the mansion is *bound* to have an unfortunate effect on the indoor atmosphere.

Somebody mentioned That Anime Girl and Marlo Thomas popped into my head !

Are you sure you’re not thinking of Golden Age Hollywood’s first Asian American sex symbol, Anime Wong?

But remember, Obama is the one with the cult of personality.

Could you folks stop wasting your time on issues of importance and get yer freakin’ priorities straight already?

There is something about his voice…
I also love the idea of a defense attorney who can only prove his client’s innocence by tracking down the real culprit. Just make him the DA, already!
