Just catching up. Have been in the medicare/private insurance maze with my ailing WWII Teamster step father. (What a fucking nightmare) So sad to witness people like my father who has paid into mediare and Social Security for 63 years (he is now 81) get the run around.

I had heard the news that some main media head had used the word “pimped” in regard to the Clintons, had no idea it was Shuster. Tough to believe that he would slip like that. When Shuster has substituted for Matthews he often throws harder balls than Matthews with Hardball guest. Shuster can ask some hard driving questions, and acutally allows the guest to answer.

Have you considered the possibility of one too many visits to the espresso machine – or other forms of self-medication?

Why would Cheney extend himself into this without a reason? Condit was worth an alibi from Cheney?

I fully expect Obama to win the WA State caucus. I also know a lot of people who are outraged at our state’s confusing, frustrating voting system. Many are unable to attend the caucus and yet… we will have a primary on the 19th where many more people will particpate but their votes will count for nothing.

I also know there is a lot of Clinton support here (especially since the misogyny has come to the forefront in the media) but some people are not comfortable being forced to publicly state their preference in front of their neighbors.

Regardless of candidate preferences, most of us still regard the secret ballot as a hallmark of democracy.

The caucus SUCKS.

“Commander in Chief” is only for the Armed Forces. So, NO president is “Commander in Chief” of any of us who comment on this blog, or the majority of Americans. Just an another example of egregious over-reach by the Bush/Cheney Fascists.

Is Shuster a schizophrenic? I have seen him do some absolutely stand-up reporting in taking the Bush Administration to task and his pieces about Scooter Libby were excellent. Then he morphs into some Tweety Dimwit. Or could it be that just sitting in Tucker’s chair deletes I.Q. points and integrity? Or is it just that he bashes the Clintons along with all the rest of the Clinton Hating Media because that’s what is wanted by They-Who-Sign-The-Paycheck?

I’m honing in on a tiny, tiny portion of our discourse that is driving me crazy:

…a woman who is the first female candidate to be vying for commander in chief?

We need to desperately get off of this kick that the only job our Pres has is being the CINC. All we’ve heard these past 8 years is CINC, CINC and more CINC. We are a Republic, not a military dictatorship.

Now back to our regularly scheduled bitchfest!

compensation is good … you bet. justice would be most wonderful as well!

a little off topic …

th schuster story has sorta overshadowed the latest obama attack: he actually demanded that hillary make her financial records public … personal records.

i suppose, the nest thing, he will want a special prosecutor! dont tell me he isnt channeling karl rove.
