daddy warbux comic strip copy_ade13_9c3b4.jpg

Interesting how ABC doesn't see a conflict of interest in having a woman with no credentials on their "This Week" panel, to discuss the ever-livin' war on terrah, whose CLOTHES ARE PAID FOR from the trust fund war profits from that very same conflict. (comic bigger here)

Daddy Warbucks' little draft exemption has plenty of credentials. It's right there on her "long form" birth certificate. See it? Right there in the box labeled Last Name First--- C-H-E-N-E-Y---. That entitles her to appear on any form of media to blather on, unchallenged, on subjects of which she knows absolutely NOTHING!!

What, y'all don't know how to get on BlueGal's special-people list?

"Canada needs to dismantle its public health-care system and allow private enterprise to get involved and turn a profit."

So either her health insurance doesn't cover tertiary syphilis, or she must have figgered she knows all about Canadian healthcare - after all, she can see it from the roof of her trailer... or something like it.

Anyway, I just died a little inside... as my faith in humanity keeps sliding downward, with every passing day in which this society allows Palin to be relevant.

And Tucker Carlson thinks she's as smart as Al Gore!

Of course, if she knew anything about Canada, she would know that Canada already has a "two-tier" health care system. For profit clinics have been slowly creeping into the system for sometime now.

If republican's are not given a 24/7 oppotunity to lie on telvision, how can you ever expect them to regain power?


If I were a psychopath, I would join the republican party, and get in on the gravy train taking the Teabircher morons to the cleaners.

Ape-Man's picture

I have a suspicion that the entire MSM needs the Rethuglicans to regain power - WARNING WILL ROBINSON - or they will have nothing to entertain with.

They need the Republiscum just like wrestlemania needs their masked bandits.

Well, what ever the reason, we the people have a conflict of interest with them the MSM.

This is a conflict we can't afford to let the MSM win. They will win if they can, and the Republican party will remain relevant if they do win.

[not withstanding the efforts of brave and honorable persons within the MSM system that can and will effect change - thank you!].

Regarding these 'memory challenged' Torture Twins: I acknowledge that these two people are news, but they can be footnotes at this point, not feature segments. That is the problem here and it must be because the MSM are scared of loosing a friend forever. It must end though.

Been hella busy today, but I scored some sweet scoops. The U.S. refuses to support an international treaty on landmine bans, seeing as they've been so successful at deterring Al-Qaida and all...Google's forced to apologize for a racist pic of The First Lady which can be viewed here. Abuse victims call out the Church's bullshit blacklist of Patrick Kennedy. Ohio tries to coerce a doctor into signing up for its latest execution. The LAUSD continues to implode for the purpose of "budget cuts". More Repug logic: If a health care bill is as long as a classic book of literature, it must be bad. Demand for oil will start out-pacing supply in a few months. Nine notable moments in false advertising. Nike lying about sweatshops made the list. One in seven young adults are forced to move back in with the 'rents. The economy's not really going anywhere. Minorities ask Obama to show them the stimulus money. Legislators in SC bring up impeachment of Sanford. Will Congress water down new emissions standards, too? The feds confirm the tainted drywall from China. One hundred icebergs head to New Zealand. Tea-baggers go after fair trials. Are you more visually aware than a fifth grader? Ahnie also parked illegally. The L.A. City Council finally comes up with a solution to the medical marijuana compensation conundrum. Think Cooley will ignore it, anyway?

They declared it a "suicide".

...to make it look like a suicide.

I'm speechless.


"Better." It's what we should ask of ourselves and of our leaders.

I assume you mean wrote with a marker?

The words FED were carved with a knife into his body. The police suspect suicide because the letters were carved from the bottom up.

I wish I were making this up.

Timjoebillybob's picture

carved with a knife, they were written with a felt tip marker. Also he told someone he was going to commit suicide and make it look like murder. He also took out two life insurance policies one shortly before his death.

chris-notthetroll's picture

The insurance companies have a financial interest in having the death ruled a suicide. They don't have to pay out.

according to the police his hands were tied loosely in front about shoulder width apart. Here is a link with a video of the police news conference about it.

I will never believe his death was a suicide. He was murdered.

This is Kentucky, I'm sure a lot of "darkies" from the 20's to the 60's committed suicide that way.

There's a way of determining that.

I understand if you hang someone already dead there's no rope welt.

And if there is a welt, is it the width of a a strangulation cord or a rope?

Imagine if a liberal blog put up a Democratic purity test list and #1 was punching a teabagger in the face. http://www.redstate.com/frank_j/2009/11/24/re...

My guess is Frank Fleming is just another cowardly conservative chickenhawk with violent fantasies about punching liberals and hippies in the face but would never have the courage to go to the front lines to fight in a war he would cheerlead for someone else to fight.

Looks like Fleming had to get a little gay bashing in at #10 also. Wouldn't be a right wing "purity test" without a little homophobic gay bashing thrown in. Why not instead "Beat a sissy and tie him to a fence post to die"? at #10? Isn't that how you really feel Mr. Fleming?

So effing true RE her This Week appearences. What really bothered me about the last show was how she got away with claiming that the last time we abandoned Afghanistan was after the Soviets left. Wrong, daughter of a war criminal!! It was 7 years ago when your daddy lied us into Iraq and diverted us from the true battle.

And if she really finds the current siuation there so "unexceptable", then she'll have the perfect opportunity to berate the person most responsible, at about 4pm tomorrow over the Thanksgiving dinner table!!
