Spidey Sense Tingling!

The Dishonorable Larry Craig
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510-1203

Dear Sister:

I never heard of you until your recent lewd conduct arrest, but the minute I heard your high-pitched lilting voice, my “gay-dar” went on full-Spidey tingling alert.

I don’t know about you, but in my part of the world, anonymously sucking a guy’s cock in a public restroom usually is considered fag behavior. But maybe not in Idaho.

Perhaps it’s time you start admitting it to yourself--it sure is obvious to the rest of the world. And probably to your sons. Hopefully, you did not molest them when they were children.

By the way, perhaps you wouldn’t be deserving of contempt if not for your hypocrisy, particularly in voting for the impeachment of Bill Clinton for a sexual indiscretion. But, again, I guess you were particularly disgusted since his peccadillo was with a woman.

I saw that you were quoted on Tim Russert’s show as referring to President Clinton as “a bad boy, a naughty boy.” OMG, what a giveaway.


A straight U.S. Citizen


P.S. BTW, I do hope you do decide to stay in office to underscore how completely hypocritical and morally bankrupt the GOP is during the upcoming elections.

Blame America First!

The most recent issue of Time magazine has reaffirmed my decision to discontinue my subscription when it expires later this year. The ridiculous “lifestyle” Mcarticles dominating the magazine in recent years and the need to kowtow to the conservative right with new columnists were annoying enough. But the idiotic commentary from Michael Kinsley in the August 13 issue was the final nail in the coffin.

In a new low even for war apologists looking desperately for a scapegoat, Kinsley uses the high poll numbers at the start of the war to blame the American people for the conflict, rather than the Administration that prosecuted it and got us into the ill-advised conflict in the first place by misleading the country with outright lies and fear mongering; nor, do I notice, does he place any blame on the journalists who willingly lapped up and presented to the public as fact this misinformation without any questioning or investigation in what surely is one of the most stunning failures in the annals of American journalism. And they say it's liberals who like to blame America first!

I’m proud to say that I personally was against the war at the very start, even when it wasn’t "cool" to be against it.

Yes, as Kinsey says, the American people “now apparently regret those opinions” of having supported the war. At least the American people can recognize a policy failure when they see it. If only the present Administration had the same wisdom.

Low Expectations

Recent news stories have reported that the U.S. failed to meet the benchmarks established by the Bush Administration for progress in Iraq.Of course, in keeping with the Administration’s penchant for constantly moving the goal line, the White House has been downplaying the news.

It does cause one to wonder just how badly things are going in Iraq when even the Administration’s own goals--which no doubt set the bar as low as possible to ensure some progress could be shown--have fallen short!!

Bush to Nation: Fuck You

By intervening in the sentencing of Scooty Libby, George W. Bush has finally demonstrated the deep contempt he holds for the American people, the Constitution, and the Judicial system.

This decision was made not in the interest of justice but out of self-interest to protect a corrupt administration, a failed presidency, and a fading legacy.

Bush essentially has told the American people that he and his friends are above the law. And that he doesn't serve the American people, but rather his own friends and cronies. Does Bush intend to review all sentences and reverse any that he deems harsh?

Bush similarly showed contempt for the country, its people, and its laws when he supported Dick Cheney's ludicrous claim that the Vice President is not a part of the Executive Branch.

This man's poor judgment and leadership already have led this country into an ill-advised quagmire in Iraq that was based on personal animosity, false pretenses and misleading information given to the American people. His actions have led to instability in the Middle East, the emboldenment of Iran, and inflamed anti-Americanism and terrorist activity around the world, not to mention the deaths of thousands of American service people.

Assuming we survive this man has done, there already is consensus that George W. Bush will go down as the worst president in American history. When he ends his presidency, he'll leave a country in worse peril than when he arrived. He does not even have the decency to make any substantive attempt clean up the mess; rather, he obviously has chosen to play out the clock so that whoever follows him will be left holding the bag to clean up the mess created by his incompetency and mismanagement.

Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?

Wouldn't You?

Now that the prosecution in the trial charging Phil Spector for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson has just about rested, the Spector Defense Dream Team has begun its work.

The defense team has made no secret of the fact that their defense strategy of the diminutive music industry legend will center on their contention that Clarkson committed suicide. They will make this claim despite the testimony of four women (among many others over the decades) who testified that the pigmy producer had a history of waving loaded guns in their faces when they refused to spend the night with him, and the unshakable testimony by Spector's driver that after he heard the shooting, the midget music god told him that he thought that he "killed someone."

The defense will claim that Clarkson committed suicide because she was despondent over her failed acting career.

The defense clearly has missed the boat here. Rather than focus on her failed career as the motive for taking a bullet in the mouth, I think a much stronger defense would be that Clarkson clearly chose suicide over going to bed with the shrimp producer. I mean take a look at that picture! Wouldn't you?

The good soldier

Awestruck by the steady stream of reports coming out of the White House that serve to underscore both the Administration’s incompetence and its outright arrogance, I guess I’ve just been too overwhelmed of late to post recently. I mean where to start?

Scooter Libby? Let’s face it, this was a tempest in a teapot that only Beltway insiders cared about. Libby played the good soldier and threw himself on the grenade to protect the people in the regime who really matter in the party machinery. Otherwise, all the trial did was give expose the cynical game the Washington establishment and the media play with each other. Libby goes to jail and the American public is supposed to feel justice was done. No doubt Libby will be given a presidential pardon by December 31, 2008, and will have a cushy job waiting for him at Halliburton—assuming, of course, he and his family are willing to move to Dubai.

A recent cover story in Time magazine recently asked, “How the Right Went Wrong.” The answer to that, my friends, is as old as time itself (no pun intended): Hubris. Pure hubris (which incidentally, is one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Why do those Christian talibanists often fail to remember that one mortal sin?)

Well, having spun the Wheel of Woes, I have decided to weigh in on the controversy over the firing of U.S. attorneys that appears to be leading into the White House.

Like the Libby case, it looks like the “cover up” may be worse than the actual “crime,” with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales poised to be the next scapegoat who’ll be taking take one for the team, as the Justice Department scrambles to come up with a consistent story about the firings.

This latest controversy brings to mind the infamous 1973 “Saturday Night Massacre,” when then-President Richard Nixon—at the height of the Watergate scandal—ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire the independent special prosecutor assigned to the case, Archibald Cox. Refusing to compromise the integrity of his personal reputation as well as that of the Justice Department, Richardson resigned. As did the Deputy Attorney General, William Ruckelshaus, when he was given the same order. (Solicitor General Robert Bork was subsequently named acting head of the Justice Department, who then fired Cox.)

While a dark time in American history, the episode was a unique moment when the Constitution, personal and institutional integrity, and the federal government’s checks and balances were tested to their limits and, perhaps in a rather torturous manner, affirmed.

Clearly, Mr. Gonzales does not seem to recognize his responsibilities as the highest law enforcement official of the nation. Instead, he feels being subservient and beholden to political patronage is more important than upholding the integrity of the Justice Department’s reputation and integrity. And that without having the trust of Congress or the nation, it will be impossible to for him to fulfill his responsibilities as Attorney General.

Who would have thought it possible that a presidential administration could come along that could make one pine for the moral certitude of the Nixon era?

Gayest President Ever?

In yet another wonderful example of war apologists being on the defensive while raising the quality of debate in the nation, one well known conservative sectarian recently caused waves by calling Democratic candidate John Edwards a "faggot."

Well, I wonder what they make of the following photos....

If ever a photo underscored how much in bed this Administration and the Bush family are with oil interests, this certainly is it. I mean, they're actually FUCKING HOLDING HANDS!

Who do you think is on top? (Considering the price of gas, I would surmise it's the President getting it up the ass.)





Here Bush hugs Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva after a news conference in Brazil.

I guess with so many few friends left around the world, o Decider no Chefe (that's Portuguese for "Decider in Chief") is understandably desperately in need for some man-love.







Here Bush and his loverboy are at it again, at yet another event, after a quick change out of sweat-stained clothes.

Geez louise, we get it already--get a hotel room already!









My God, who'd've thought it possible, but McCain actually even looks gayer than the President. If Bush wasn't a draft dodger and so scared of combat, I'm sure he wouldn't've minded spending some quality time in the Hanoi Hilton with all those big manly pilots (nudge, nudge, wink, wink).

They are, after all, two men with daddy issues.










If any Conservative whore decides to shoot her mouth off about faggot-loving politicians, they should first look in their own backyard at their own closeted Decider in Chief.

--or perhaps at Dick Cheney's bull dyke daughter who (oh, God, this is too good to be true) is preparing to give birth with her partner in an act of "selfish hedonism."

Though, apparently, according to the Vice President, it's not okay to attack people's sexual orientation if it's true and involves members of your own family.
