I still want to get her to flip out on camera at CPAC. I wanna go! Funny!

It’s probably another ten bucks or so to get her legs behind her head.

Remember, discounts for Republican men only.

Ugh…I’ll never forget the first time I got dragged to fucking “Hot Air”. Anyone else remember when Ann Coulter made the “fag joke” and Malkin threw a MAJOR hissy over it? Now that was funny. She went absolutely apeshit telling everyone, well demanding rather, that they not tolerate Coulter’s intolerance.

Or for the “Shorter Malkin Hissy Fit”: no one is allowed to support the blonde bitch because I still want her #1 wingnut female pundit/author spot…I mean it, only MY INTOLERANCE!

noen–yep, that was the subtext I got too from Bush….that “Out of Office Countdown” calendar is looking better all the time. I might just put it up a bit early.

I’m still puzzled why congressional Dems are responsible for something that happened when the Repubs held both Houses of Congress.
I guess I’m just slow.

I had a long post about this but the spam filter ate it. Still, what you have to do is to get your mind into the mind of an authoritarian like MMaulkin. In wingnut psychology you see, everything revolves around us because we are the parent objects for them.Therefore, whenever the right misbehaves it is our fault because we didn’t stop them. Even though they lied and cheated it’s our fault. We are the adults and we should have known better.

It’s like when Bush made the threat recently that “If you don’t want world war three you had better stop me before I kill again”. Or something like that. That was the subtext anyway.

Democrats call for investigation of CIA’s destruction of torture tapes
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/12/7/162742/630

The Politico has a copy of a new letter from Reyes and Hoekstra to Hayden, calling him out on false statements he made in his message to CIA employees.

The implication of [Hayden's] statement is that Congress was fully informed as to the practice of videotaping interrogations and notified “years ago” as to the destruction of the videotapes.

Based upon available records and our best recollection, this simply is not true.

This Committee was not informed of the decision to destroy these videotapes until earlier this year. The notification came in the form of an offhand comment you made in response to a question during a briefing on March 14, 2007. The destruction was briefly mentioned again in a letter to one Member of this Committee dated April 19, 2007.

We do not consider this to be sufficient notification. Moreover, these brief mentions were certainly not contemporaneous with the decision to destroy the videotapes.

That conforms to what Sen. Rockefeller said about the experience of the intelligence committee in the other chamber.

Several commenters on this thread believe that there is a basic contradiction in what members of Congress are arguing. I’m not so sure that is true.

The point made by Harman, Rockefeller, et alii is that the CIA and the administration did not brief them about the tapes until after the CIA had destroyed the tapes.

There were of course many reports of such tapes existing. That is why for example the judge who was trying the case of Zacarias Moussaoui asked the federal government to hand the tapes over, and why lawyers for Padilla also asked for them.

It’s one thing to see unconfirmed reports about the tapes. It’s quite another to receive a briefing about them by the CIA. Michael Hayden, in his message to CIA employees, stated “The leaders of our oversight committees in Congress were informed of the videos years ago and of the Agency’s intention to dispose of the material.” That appears to be false, if you believe the members of Congress who state that they were briefed only recently and after the tapes had been destroyed.

Meanwhile, Valtin points out that videotapes of Jose Padilla’s interrogation in Charleston S.C. went missing.

Also, two other commenters make interesting points. First, Lysias reminds us that “According to Ron Suskind (who has CIA sources,) Abu Zubaydah was tortured on Bush’s orders, over CIA protests.” This is related to the comment by AlyoshaKaramazov, who argues that in the past Bush has taken a different route when scandals pop up; typically, Bush claims that he was never informed. Here, Perino has Bush claiming that he has no memory.

Together, these two things perhaps suggest that Bush knows all too well that he may be tied either to ordering the interrogation(s), or to direct knowledge of the tapes (perhaps having viewed them).

Still, I agree with Glen Greenwald that neither Harmon nor Rockefeller look good through all this.

…upon learning of the CIA’s intent to obstruct justice and destroy evidence, Harman did nothing other than privately ask them not to do so (and presumably never bothered to follow-up to receive any commitment from them that they wouldn’t destroy that evidence). In other words, upon learning of the CIA’s intent to commit a criminal act, she pointlessly (and self-servingly) put herself on record as being opposed and then went about her business — exactly as Jay Rockefeller did upon learning that the Bush administration was illegally spying on Americans. That isn’t why we have Congressional oversight of the intelligence community, and it speaks volumes that Harman’s office apparently thinks this version of events reflects well on her at all.

Give ‘em the old razzle-dazzle. Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, they both reached for the gun, oh yes, they both reached for the gun.

RoXx0rZz!

Does Dobson’s dog know about this? I’m sure he’d like some.

And Mehitablel, there are some kittens that like their armour.

Of course, the Republicans on the same committee did exactly….what now?

Has anyone done a contest involving this and similar screenshots of MishMalk to vote on which one is most likely her O-face? No? Thank Jeebus.

What the hell is a “hypermarket”?

Grocery store + Department store = Not driving all over Godknows to do your shopping. They are (or were) quite common in Europe and if you think back to the old general goods store were you could buy beans, salt pork, fabric and a plow, it makes sense.

I think the word hypermarket is just er… hype.

You’re clearly a hyperpartisan with BDS.

Clearly…

I just started looking at the Galleries of Armor.

Wow! My new favorite diversion.
