I just can’t shut up

Well, I’m in Charlottesville now.  Trying to get the house squared away, jumping throught the dog license and DMV hoops, all that good stuff.  Ugh…  Life’s too short for that crap.

Anyway, the radio listening and calling-in has taken a dive.  Email answering is sporadic.  But I can’t go away completely.

Been reading about the Lieberman bullshit.  I’m not going to pretend otherwise.  I despise that sanctimonious blowhard.  I’m not sure I’ve ever known a politician that likes himself more than he does.  That’s saying a lot - I survived Bill Clinton!

So this is today’s “Deep thought”.

All those people you hear speaking so highly of Joe Lieberman - from both the left and the right - have one thing in common:  They are Joe Lieberman’s “friend”, but they aren’t his “best friend”.  Why?  Because Joe Lieberman is his own best friend.

A lot of people have a lot of nice things to say about Lieberman.  But given the choice, I’m not sure if a single person would choose Joe Lieberman to be in a foxhole with them.

    You know, my first exposure to politics was as a kid, when the PMRC tried to take away my Dio and Motley Crue records.
    So I just knew Lieberman was shady and an curious dem when a few years ago he went on that crusade on motion picture ratings. Does anyone even remember that anymore?

    I guess I’ll let Tipper slide. Unbelievably now that I think about it, that woman was Public Enemy #1 when I was in 4th grade. I even wrote her a letter. I wanted her to know I was one of the dark minions of Satan.

    I wish we all were “surviving” Bill Clinton right now …… one of our best presidents. I know the point was that Clinton loves himself. That might be true - but what a great leader - articulate, motivating, intelligent, and hard working. Not a single one of these attributes can be used to describe the guy we have in the White house now.

    Mike, I’m glad your still posting. I’m a junky for your blog. I know the RNC will be glad when you start school, but I will miss you.

    Today Limbaugh opened his show with some blather about Jon Benet Ramsey and went on to say that “Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for sex junkets, by the way” (I wonder if he had read this or knows from personal experience of traveling there with a carry on bag filled with bootleg Viagra) and then went on to make a tasteless joke about the sex industry and the “appropriately named city of Bangkok”

    What a maroon this wingnuts are. That was all I could stand to listen to of this fool, about 2 minutes.

    Have you noticed that Rush’s vaunted “morality” (if he ever had any) has completely gone down the tubes? Since his (3rd) divorce, he is also making tasteless jokes about women and marriage. This from a fat blowhard who screamed about Clinton’s dalliances.

    So much for the Right’s hold on the moral high ground.

    “Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for sex junkets, by the way” (I wonder if he had read this or knows from personal experience of traveling there with a carry on bag filled with bootleg Viagra)”

    He actually said that?!
    What the flying motherfuck?
    Were these guys born without whatever gene it is to recognize irony or hypocricy at all??

    Somebody needs to keep calling these fuckers out. Problem is who can really stand to listen to any of them? These guys are some real dandies. Ever hear Michael Savage? He was upset that we are losing in Iraq, like we did in Vietnam (according to wingnut) cuz we are not bombing like we did in Dresden or Hiroshima (yes ,he used this city, and its destruction, as an example)

    These fuckers are nuts. And Iran is getting a lot of discussion in wingnutville, seems like they are chomping at the bit in their underlying message to start the bombing.

    And for those missing mikes calls, like me, here is the best we can do until he makes a few more. It’s pretty funny if you haven’t heard it.

    Mike I am a big fan but the “I survived Clinton” line makes me think you have been listening to too much rightwing radio. One thing I notice talking to conservatives is that a lot of them do not like Bush unless they are on the payroll or a complete nut. One thing they do well though is make liberals and dems out to be lying scum buckets without a trace of evidence. They did it to Gore with the inventing the internet thing and they did it to Clinton. Clinton was lying yes, but only because he was trying to get by a sham lawsuit funded by his rightwing enemies. I would have lied too. However the GOP apratiks are good at making the other guy (ie. Gore, Clinton, Kerry) so intolerable based on made up crap that they create an excuse for themselves and their base to vote republican, even though they do not necessarily like what their own party stands for. Clinton has a big ego but you need a big ego in politics. I work for a politician who is so full of himself it makes me puke. But it helps when you go in front of the media and voters to have confidence even though a lot of it is phony.

    Hello! Hello.
    It’s all over…It’s ALL over.

    Mrs. Lieberman is a lobbyist for a drug company. If Joe loses his job, she will likely lose hers, too. I wish them both a very happy and long unemployment. Greedy traitors the lot of ‘em!

    Alex….Keep your ideas in Canada. I hope that if you were ever to have cause to be in court against another party, they wouldn’t lie during a deposition. It is despicable and a crime, it doesn’t matter if it was over a $20 light bill or inappropriate touching. I am sure you wouldn’t be so “liberal” with their motives if you lost the case and owed your lawyers a ton of dough.

    As if you’ve ever been in a foxhole…. The one you dug in your back yard to hide from the black ops helicopters doesn’t count

    Don’t like the DMV, huh? That’s the epitomy of big goverment, no responsibility goverment programs. Its what going to the doctor would be like under the Hillary heathcare plan (exept for her and the rest of the ruling class, of course). That would be wonderful, huh?

    Screw capitalism!! Goverment knows best how to run my life!!!
