What the Liberal media won’t tell you is, she was expected to do this anyhow… So, why even report it?
Just gives the old attention whore more publicity.
She still is not going to clinch the nomination, she doesn’t have the delegates.
Stupid is as stupid does, I guess.
Interesting….
Debbie Schlussel has more, as do others.
I’ve noticed over at said Blogs that the comparison between this and the Compean and Ramos situation. There’s only one problem. There is no comparison.
The facts are this, Compean and Ramos engaged in the shooting of an unarmed, fleeing suspect, destroying evidence, and engaged in a cover-up, and they were prosecuted for it. Which I think is a good thing. There is a thing in this country, called the rule of law, and if you break it, you go to jail.
Much of the Internet coverage surrounding these two guys is given by Conservatives and some Nationalists. Much of which is mired in Racism.
I am all for the stopping illegal immigration, but for it to be done in a lawful manner. Not in a manner such as these two guys did.
I am sure there are two sides to every story, as I am sure there is here. But something doesn’t smell right with the supporters side of it.
Fester over at NewsHoggers, put’s it better than I ever could.
This amazing lack of faith in American institutions still astounds be
at times coming from such dime story patriots and nationalistic tinged
messaging machines. America ‘s restraint and faith in the rule of law
is a strength and not a weakness. Today torture is an embarrassment
whose stain can not be easily removed even as it lessens our
credibility, legitimacy and moral orientation. Grow some balls
America, and believe in your principals again.
Amen.
That is what the majority of America is thinking….

From the May 12 edition of ABC Radio Networks’ Imus in the Morning:
DIETL: Well, I got real a problem with the president, the former president. You know, this weekend, I go to gas up my car, my M6, the BMW. Uses a lot of gas, we all agree with that. It’s 510 horsepower.
IMUS: Sure.
DIETL: Four dollars and fifty cents for the high test now. Now, I did a little investigation through the whole — you know, through the whole weekend there to find out really where it lies. And I got a problem with President Bush the father, my friend. I got a problem with this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton, and Fredo over here. We all — Fredo, the president, the current, sitting president, with those stupid faces that he makes. There was tornadoes in the Midwest, and he’s making a press conference with his wife sitting there. He’s making these stupid —
IMUS: This is your guy.
DIETL: He’s — nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, he was your guy —
DIETL: Nobody’s my guy.
IMUS: No, no. He was your guy when he ran.
DIETL: Here’s what I call out to the Senate majority —
IMUS: I did not vote for him. You did.
DIETL: Senate majority —
IMUS: Did you vote for him? Did you vote for him?
DIETL: Yes. Yes, I did.
IMUS: OK.
DIETL: People make mistakes.
IMUS: Well, yeah. You made a big mistake. You voted for him twice.
DIETL: Well, I made a few big mistakes when I didn’t invest my money into oil and gold.
IMUS: True.
DIETL: OK. But my point is, there should be a congressional investigation. One, into all these former presidents. What kind of money is being influxitated [sic] into their libaries [sic]? I’m talking about this guy sitting across from me, Bill Clinton. They have hundreds of millions of dollars that were pumped in there from these Aba Daba Doos over there in the Middle East, controlling the oil. Right now in the Middle East, you’ve got Saudi Arabia, who’s got their finger. Why doesn’t Fredo get on his Air Force One, fly over to Riyadh, get those little hamel [sic] humpers over there, sit ’em down, and say, "Look, we got our F-16s –"
IMUS: It’s, uh, "camel humpers."
DIETL: "We got our F-16s guarding you against Iran. We saved you from Saddam Hussein. We’re going to move all our troops out of here and leave you to defend your own country." ‘Cause you know what? They couldn’t do it. ‘Cause all they do is pick their nose and eat their boogies, and that’s the end of it. That’s all they do.
BERNARD McGUIRK (executive producer): Hey, oh.
DIETL: I’ve been there.
IMUS: Hey, calm down here a minute. We’re trying to have breakfast.
DIETL: All right. ‘Cause this aggravates me. We protect Saudi Arabia.
IMUS: [unintelligible] to be eating your boogers. [unintelligible]
DIETL: Saudi Arabia controls the oil flow.
IMUS: That is disgusting.
DIETL: And right now, people are starving.
IMUS: Why are you hollering?
DIETL: Families can’t put their kids into their SUVs and take them to school because the gas is so expensive.
IMUS: Here’s what’s happening now. People’s houses are being foreclosed on.
DIETL: Right.
IMUS: So they put their furniture in storage. Then they can’t pay the storage bill, so they’re losing that.
DIETL: Right. Now, America that listens to you, Don, and everyone’s ears are out there today. I want people to realize and understand, these former presidents and the current president now have a relationship with Saudi Arabia that they should go over there to — President Bush, my friend there, the cowboy, should hop on his plane and go over there, sit down with the ministers and say, "Here’s the way it’s going to be. We’re pulling out all our men over there protecting you."
You go now — you go to the next stop, Dubai. Do you know what’s going on in Dubai now? Twenty-five percent of the cranes in the world are in Dubai. You got Philippine workers dying two a day, construction workers are dying two a day. They can’t put up a building fast enough. They got three buildings programmed that’ll be double the size of the former World Trade Center. They’re building islands. They’re building man-made islands.
You know what is there? I’ll tell you what’s there. A bunch of hookers from Russia and all over there.
IMUS: Yeah, well —
DIETL: It’s a playground for —
IMUS: I wouldn’t bring that up if I were you.
DIETL: It’s a playground for all these people who are pumping all the oil out of the ground, making all this money. Our Americans dying defending them over in Iraq, and they stand around there [imitates ululation]. They go running around, hopping on their private planes, hopping on their camels.
The Congress should be getting involved with this. Where is the senators and where is the congressmen to step up and step on Saudi Arabia and stop with my fuel pump? ‘Cause I got people that can’t drive their cars.
And I ran for Congress back in ’86. I wish I would’ve won. ‘Cause I would be there in Congress slapping people around, saying, "How much money? You want to take a trip over to Saudi Arabia?"
IMUS: You would’ve made — you’d have made Vito — what’s that guy’s name, Bernie?
DIETL: I like Vito Fossella.
McGUIRK: Fossella.
IMUS: You would’ve made Vito Fossella look like a Boy Scout.
DIETL: Guy made a little mistake. Guy made a little mistake. We all make little mistakes in our lives.
The "Boogies" joke aside, I hate to break it to David Brock and the rest of the crew over at Media Matters for America, but, this is what the majority of America is thinking right about now. I, for one, cannot afford to drive my car, much anywhere at all, either.
I am fully aware that the Arab slam was offensive, but Christ Almighty man, the guy is right. I think he should be applauded for telling the damn truth, if anything at all.
Now this is getting interesting….
Boy, it’s like shooting fish in a barrel. 
Seems ol’ Juan McSame’s choice to manage the GOP convention this summer is lobbyist Doug Goodyear, whose firm once represented Burma’s repressive regime.
Since this came out, he has resigned, but gee wiz already, do these Republican know anything other than sleaze?
You see now, why I will never, ever, vote Republican? 
This is why we need this guy in there:
He’s getting my vote in November. I don’t care if he wins or not, what I do care about is, if my vote doesn’t go for a Marxist or a Continuation of George W. Bush and his idiotic policies.
Video:
Oh, I get it! Obama is counting the countries in the middle east that President Bush wanted to add, you know, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and so on…. (there’s a couple more, but I can’t think of ’em… I’ve lost my bearings… and I’m a bit tired too…)

Neocons and the truth: Bitter enemies to the end – Glenn Greenwald – Salon.com
In a July, 2006 article in Rolling Stone — entitled “Iran: The Next War” — the superb journalist James Bamford detailed the shady activities of numerous neoconservatives inside and out of the U.S. Government to plan an attack on Iran. Bamford focused on the role played by Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute and National Review, who created and began implementing an attack scheme in coordination with the Pentagon’s then number-three official, Doug Feith, and Feith’s deputy, Larry Franklin (subsequently convicted of felonies for passing classified information to AIPAC).
A couple weeks after Bamford’s exposè was published, National Review enlisted former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy and talk show host Mark Levin jointly to author a defense of Ledeen and, more importantly, to savage Bamford for writing what they claimed was a pack of lies. The McCarthy/Levin article was entitled “Rolling Smear,” sub-headlined “James Bamford writes a fiction about our Michael Ledeen,” and accused Bamford of being “the latest in a growing crowd of hacks to smear our friend Michael Ledeen.”
Yeah, I know, he’s a liberal… But you know what? As much as I highly disagree with Glenn’s Politics, I too, share a great dislike of the Neo-Conservative branch of the Republican Party. I thank Glenn for having the guts to stand up to these warmongering idiots and for exposing them for what they truly are.
Hats off to you, Glenn!

The Internet Archive, a project to create a digital library of the web for posterity, successfully fought a secret government Patriot Act order for records about one of its patrons and won the right to make the order public, civil liberties groups announced Wednesday morning.
On November 26, 2007, the FBI served a controversial National Security Letter (.pdf) on the Internet Archive’s founder Brewster Kahle, asking for records about one of the library’s registered users, asking for the user’s name, address and activity on the site.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet Archive’s lawyers, fought the NSL, challenging its constitutionality in a December 14 complaint (.pdf) to a federal court in San Francisco. The FBI agreed on April 21 to withdraw the letter and unseal the court case, making some of the documents available to the public.

Sorry about bailing on everyone last night man. I was just pooped. I finally overcame the staying up all night and sleeping all day nonsense. I now keep some very early hours, and I mean VERY early. I mean as in, being in bed at 9:00 P.M. and being up at 4:00 A.M., I would say “old people” hours, but I’m 35, so, I’ll just refrain from the old people jokes. You young punks quit that damn snickering, ya hear? and get off my lawn!
Anyhow, silliness aside, I have been snooping around this morning on the Politics sites, and I’ve seen how Barry and Hillary made out.
As most people know, Barry pulled off a big victory in North Carolina. Which I wasn’t surprised to hear about. Although, his victory there was racially lopsided, they say.
As for Hillary, she squeaked one out, in Indiana. A narrow political victory, that is, which the tea leaf readers say.
She’s also, according to Josh Marshall over at TPM, she’s canceled all appearances on the morning talk shows. So, it could be that she and her advisers are in hunker down mode and figuring out a graceful way out of the race. or she decided not to break out with the bubbly and celebrate, seeing it was quite the narrow margin.
The numbers as of now are…:
Indiana
Clinton 51% – Obama 49%
North Carolina
Obama 56% – Clinton 42%
That margin in Indiana is a 2% margin, that’s nothing to jump up and holler about.
Ugh… 5:37 a.m. and I still haven’t got this entry out… between glancing at the TV and getting more coffee, this isn’t going very fast…
Anyhow, according to what I’ve just observed on MSNBC this morning, Hillary says that she will continue to fight for the Presidential nominee. Wonder if she means, that she knows she will not get it?
Anyhow, that’s the political update and my opinion on it. Stay Tuned…
No matter what political party you are part of. We as Americans should refuse to accept this Government’s wholesale approval of torture. I have signed it and so should you.
Seen at Newt Gingrich’s Site:
The Republican loss in the special election for
Louisiana’s Sixth Congressional District last Saturday should be a
sharp wake up call for Republicans: Either Congressional Republicans
are going to chart a bold course of real change or they are going to
suffer decisive losses this November.The facts are clear and compelling.
Saturday’s
loss was in a district that President Bush carried by 19 percentage
points in 2004 and that the Republicans have held since 1975.This
defeat follows on the loss of Speaker Hastert’s seat in Illinois. That
seat had been held by a Republican for 76 years with the single
exception of the 1974 Watergate election when the Democrats held it for
one term. That same seat had been carried by President Bush 55-44% in
2004. –Read the Rest
Will they listen? Doubtful. The G.O.P. seems to have a mind of it’s own. The Nation is swinging Liberal, thanks to the Idiot Neo-Con’s who fooled the village idiot in the White House to pursue a Neo-Con agenda and to take the Nation into a unnecessary war, and now the World and most of America, hates conservatives and Republicans.
They will pay for that costly mistake for 4 or 8 years.
Federal Bureau of Investigation agents raided the Office of Special
Counsel here, seizing computers and documents belonging to the agency
chief Scott Bloch and staff.More than a dozen FBI agents served grand jury subpoenas shortly
after 10 a.m., shutting down the agency’s computer network and
searching its offices, as well as Mr. Bloch’s home. Employees said the
searches appeared focused on alleged obstruction of justice by Mr.
Bloch during the course of an 2006 inquiry into his conduct in office.The independent agency, created by Congress in the wake of the
Watergate scandal, is charged with protecting federal employees and
deciding whether their complaints merit full-scale investigation — a
first line of defense against fraud and mismanagement in government. It
also enforces a ban on U.S. employees engaging in partisan political
activity.
It was all just a matter of time. There’s a ton of Opinion on this one. I believe that this is just the beginning. Wait till a liberal takes the White House and the indictments start coming down. It will be an interesting thing to watch….and Blog about..

McCain finds his own radical friend — (via chicagotribune.com)
Can a presidential candidate justify a long and friendly relationship with someone who, back in the 1970s, extolled violence and committed crimes in the name of a radical ideology—and who has never shown remorse or admitted error? When the candidate in question is Barack Obama, John McCain says no. But when the candidate in question is John McCain, he’s not so sure.
Obama has been justly criticized for his ties to former Weather Underground member Bill Ayers, who in 1995 hosted a campaign event for Obama and in 2001 gave him a $200 contribution. The two have also served together on the board of a foundation. When their connection became known, McCain minced no words: “I think not only a repudiation but an apology for ever having anything to do with an unrepentant terrorist is due the American people.”
What McCain didn’t mention is that he has his own Bill Ayers—in the form of G. Gordon Liddy. Now a conservative radio talk-show host, Liddy spent more than 4 years in prison for his role in the 1972 Watergate burglary. That was just one element of what Liddy did, and proposed to do, in a secret White House effort to subvert the Constitution. Far from repudiating him, McCain has embraced him.
But wait there’s more….
Last November, McCain went on his radio show. Liddy greeted him as “an
old friend,” and McCain sounded like one. “I’m proud of you, I’m proud
of your family,” he gushed. “It’s always a pleasure for me to come on
your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and
adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation
great.”Which principles would those be? The ones that told
Liddy it was fine to break into the office of the Democratic National
Committee to plant bugs and photograph documents? The ones that made
him propose to kidnap anti-war activists so they couldn’t disrupt the
1972 Republican National Convention? The ones that inspired him to plan
the murder (never carried out) of an unfriendly newspaper columnist?Liddy was in the thick of the biggest political scandal in American
history—and one of the greatest threats to the rule of law. He has said
he has no regrets about what he did, insisting that he went to jail as
“a prisoner of war.”All this may sound like ancient history.
But it’s from the same era as the bombings Ayers helped carry out as a
member of the Weather Underground. And Liddy’s penchant for extreme
solutions has not abated.In 1994, after the disastrous federal raid on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas,
he gave some advice to his listeners: “Now if the Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco and Firearms comes to disarm you and they are bearing arms,
resist them with arms. Go for a head shot; they’re going to be wearing
bulletproof vests. . . . Kill the sons of bitches.”He later
backed off, saying he meant merely that people should defend themselves
if federal agents came with guns blazing. But his amended guidance was
not exactly conciliatory: Liddy also said he should have recommended
shots to the groin instead of the head. If that wasn’t enough to
inflame any nut cases, he mentioned labeling targets “Bill” and
“Hillary” when he practiced shooting.
Charming fellow, I’m sure. Wow, and here I thought some of friends, that I hung around with were a little strange.
The Republican spin and denial on this ought to be quite interesting…
Update: heh… just as a suspected, Surber Spins it…:
Question: What’s the latest pathetic attempt by a liberal to try to rationalize Obama’s ties to whack jobs?
Answer: Steve Chapman of the Chicago Tribune tried to equate G. Gordon Libby with Bill Ayers. Two problems: 1. Liddy did time in prison. 2. Libby did not blow anyone up. But other than the doing the time for the crime and not killing anyone, two peas in a pod. Oh for the days when Mike Royko zinged Chicago’s pols.
Yeah, but it still makes the guy a nut. Plus, no one was convicted of blowing anyone up. Nice try though.

Now, he’s claiming he said it wrong or something.
All the more reason to vote for this guy here.
Why am I saying this? Because I am not letting my vote go to some idiot, who cannot even speak to a damn crowd, without misspeaking and giving the Liberals the red meat that they crave. Regardless if you want to admit it or not. President George W. Bush has so screwed this Nation up, that we’re going to be digging ourselves out for many years to come. He is also not really known for his ability to speak well, at all.
Of course, I am not about to let my vote go to a closet Marxist or a socialist bitch who wants to turn America into a another soviet union, with her nationalized healthcare program. So, I’m voting for a 3rd part candidate, that way, if the nation gets screwed up, it won’t be because of something I did.

The Article: U.S. official: little sign of crime-oil price link (via Reuters)
There is little sign organized crime is helping drive up energy prices, a senior Justice Department official said on Friday, despite assertions that such groups were strongly present in world oil markets.
"I don’t think that you can directly link the two," Alice Fisher, head of the department’s criminal division, said in an interview.
Yeah, RIGHT!
