Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Well I guess that you saw that low life piece of scum from South Carolina Joe Wilson call President Obama a liar during the Presidents address?

Everyone should write or call Speaker Pelosi and demand that he be censured or impeached for his disrespectful remark.

They should also phone his Congressional Office and his States Offices to complain and demand his resignation.

There's no place for that kind of behavior in a joint and public Presidential address on National Television.

Just shows what a bunch or Fascist, Racist, Bigoted Nazi's the Republicans are.

I hope the Democrats unite now behind President Obama and jam everything through both houses of congress.

Screw the Republicans, all they have been doing since President Obama took office is try to incite their base to assassinate him.

Fuck them all, maybe its time to drag them out of their offices and lynch them.

Sorry, I'm just so pissed off over this and maybe President Obama needs to label Joe Wilson an Enemy Combatant and ship him off to Gitmo for some enhanced interrogation that Bush\Cheney approved.

After all it isn't torture according to them.

Oh and Woo Hoo to you all.

If the public option is a fetish then I'm sure many of its backers tonight thought the President's speech was vintage porn...

What's NBC?

Well. Sounds to me as if Faux isn't the only "news" organization run by wingnuts--

National Bondage Community.

Whoa.

POLITICO Breaking News:
-----------------------------------------------------

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.), who yelled out “you lie!’ in the midst of President Obama’s speech before a joint session of Congress, has called the White House to offer an apology to Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.

Huh. Guess he remembered his southern manners--aka "my mama raised me better'n that--"

Nah. Most likely, the Dems in SC--and there are a few, same like here in TN--are raisin' forty kinds of hell.

I'm not participating in that devolution of discourse, warren...

...yeah, I take as much stock, if not more, of the amateur punditry here than in that of "Chuck Todd" and crew. Get a last name, "Chuck", if that's even your real first name.

That's enough expert analysis form me. 'Nite.

Nope--Wilson apologized on instructions from Sen. McCain.

Guess McC's mama raised HIM better'n that.

Try $11K in one hour for his opponent.

That'll work too. . .;)

BTW, who at NBC used the word "fetish"?

I just read the previous thread and am LMAO. Uriah Heep!! Good one. I watched it all but can't do that and this at the same time, unfortunately.

I also am thinking that FaceBook is evil. My e-mail got hacked there. It's created a tremendous pain in the neck. Gotta change the WHOLE thing now.

So I am currently without usable e-mail. Will get to everyone once I fix 'er up.

Rob Miller, the opponent of Joe Wilson, has already raised $40,000...I just sent $20. He's looking to double that amount by 8 AM.

Craig,

If you're still up, do you know what the rationale was behind the cloture vote for Cass Sunstein?

I'm surprised that the Republicans voting for were as follows:

Bennett
Hatch
Lugar
Gregg
Snowe

Democrats voting against

Lincoln
Webb

Craig -
Here's yer "Atta Boy ".

What is country needs is a good 5 cent trust buster.

Jessica Santillo, the Southern regional press secretary for the DCCC, confirms to us that Miller has raised over $100,000.

In the 2008 election, John McCain carried the district 54%-45%, and Wilson himself was re-elected 53.7%-46.2% over Miller. This was a significant swing from previous elections -- when Wilson would win with over 60% or even over 80% of the vote, and George W. Bush carried it 60%-40% in 2004.

That bad news from the Arctic -

Walruses congregate on Alaska shore as ice melts

"This is actually all new," Jay said. "They did this in 2007, and it's a result of the sea ice retreating off the continental shelf."

" Unlike many seals, walruses cannot swim indefinitely and must rest periodically between feeding forays. They rely on sea ice as a platform for foraging for clams in the shallow waters of the outer continental shelf. They can dive up to 630 feet for clams and other sea floor creatures but mostly feed in waters of less than 330 feet, Jay said. Beyond the continental shelf, water can reach depths of 10,000 feet or more. "

---------------------
Their young are parked on the ice while the mothers feed. Without the ice they must come ashore.

"It is quite unusual to have such a powerful system so far east in the (Atlantic) basin," the hurricane center said in a statement. "Fred is only the third major hurricane noted east of 35 (degrees west longitude) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the strongest hurricane so far south and east in our data record."

You will never hear anything like this said about conservatives. Passionately supporting a piece of legislation that we consider vital to real health care reform is now considered a fetish by NBC. WTF is that?
Craig Crawford:

NBC News calls the public option a "fetish." Providing insurance to Americans who cannot afford or obtain coverage is a fetish? A fetish? Have things gone so awry that health care for all is considered a deviant concept. Seems to me that big media's knee-jerk defense of the status quo is the real fetish.

Craig nails it...in a good way that is and without a spanking reference that would be considered un-serious by the beltway elite.

Adults wearing diapers with prostitutes is a fetish. Spanking your lobbyist mistress is a fetish. Caring for those who are less fortunate than the ruling class is NOT a fetish.
