  • Who knew Al Gore ever got horny?

    I was pretty sure he had a dick (it sticks through his shirt collar and speaks), but I saw this news story a few days ago about his trying to seduce a red headed masseuse in Oregon and I was pretty shocked. Howie Kurtz at the Washington Post tells us the background on the incident and how it got to our attention;

    The Enquirer obtained a Portland, Ore., police report in which the red-haired masseuse, whose name the tabloid withheld, told authorities that Gore had sexually assaulted her during a 2006 hotel massage. The woman initially declined to be interviewed by police, but reconsidered and met with detectives early last year. The detectives concluded there was insufficient evidence to launch an investigation. The police never sought a statement from Gore or attempted to interview him about the claim.

    An Enquirer reporter asked the woman why she didn’t contact police on the night of the alleged incident, rather than waiting several weeks. “I was completely shaken and afraid I would lose my job,” she responded. The woman, who told police that Gore had requested an abdominal massage, also said the Hotel Lucia asked her to provide services to a VIP guest registered as “Mr. Stone” and she was surprised to learn that it was Gore.

    The woman probably felt like she was being accosted by a sea cow. I only wish she had recorded the incident with Mr Stone…that name, by the way, could only be funnier if it was Mr Wood or Mr Tree. He was almost President, you know, and only missed it by this much. Small favors.

  • DU changes rules to conform to a non-Bush environment

    Claymore gave me the secret signal this morning (three tugs at the rope, then two tugs) and I pulled him up from the Democratic Underground sewer where he seems to spend way too much time. He reports that DU has had to change their rules since Obama is the president and it seems that way too many denizens of DU are being vocal about their displeasure with his administration.

    The DU Administrators have long been frustrated with the persistent undercurrent of negativity and conflict here, which has been exacerbated by the lack of a common villain in the form of George W. Bush. But we have been reluctant to make changes to the way we run the site out of fear that we might do more harm than good. The problems we face are extraordinarily complicated, and despite (or perhaps because of) nearly a decade of administering this site we tend to be fairly skeptical of our own ability to effect broad-based changes that will improve DU for the majority of our members.

    But here are some the new rules designed to effect a broad based change among the turdbats;

    { } Inappropriate attacks against Democrats
    – Insults against prominent Democrats, such as “Fuck Obama.”
    – Name-calling against prominent Democrats. Calling Barack Obama “Barry” or some other name.
    – Repeating Republican partisan attacks against Democrats.
    – Broadly suggesting that there is no difference between Barack Obama and George W. Bush, or that there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans. (Arguing that specific policies are the same would be permitted.)
    – Suggesting that President Obama has perpetrated a “con job” or “fraud,” or similarly over-the-top assertions of bad faith.
    – Advocating voting against Democrats, or in favor of third-party or GOP candidates.
    – Broad-brush smears against Democrats generally. Broad expressions of contempt toward Democrats generally.

    See, none of that would effect Democratic Underground, the kind of one-dimensional examination of facts which spawned the Great Chicken Wire Twin Towers Experiment – actually, their crowning glory. I wonder what the reaction would be if I established rules like that around here?

  • Toy soldiers get student in trouble

    8-year-old David Morales ran into trouble when he took his school project to class (Deseret News link);

    Morales’ 8-year-old son, David, was assigned to make a hat for the day when his second-grade class would meet their pen pals from another school. She and her son came up with an idea to add patriotic decorations to a camouflage hat.

    Earlier this week, the Tiogue School in Coventry sent the cap home with David at the end of the day after concluding it violated a zero-tolerance policy for weapons.

    The principal told the family that the hat would be fine if David replaced the Army men holding weapons with ones that didn’t have any, according to Superintendent Kenneth R. Di Pietro.

    Yeah, most soldiers don’t have guns. I remember the East German 95th Binocular Battalion when I patrolled the intra-German border.

    The education profession seem focused on the ridiculous these days instead of having an ounce of common sense they could share with their membership.

    Thanks to Tommy for the link.

  • SC’s Democrat Senate Candidate in his own words

    Alvin Greene, the newly minted candidate for South Carolina’s Senate seat spoke to Fox News;

    “The Democratic Party has chosen their nominee, and we have to stand behind their choice,” Greene said in response to party officials asking him to withdraw from the race after they learned he is facing a felony charge for allegedly showing a college student pornography. “The people have spoken. We need to be pro-South Carolina, not anti-Greene.”

    “I’m a Democrat and always been a Democrat and I will always support Democrats,” Greene told Fox News in response to Majority Whip James Clyburn’s assertion that he is a Republican plant.

    We tend to believe Greene when he says that he’s always been a Democrat;

    Thanks to melony for the arrest record.

  • Felonious veteran for Senate in SC

    So there’s a supposed veteran running for US Senate in South Carolina this season. His name is Alvin Greene – he claims to be an Air Force veteran of 13 years and since November, Greene is accused of felony obscenity. TSO begged me to find a link between Greene and VoteVets yesterday, but I couldn’t. Do you know how sweet that would be?

    But, anyway, the Democrats are telling us that Greene is a Republican trick. No, Really. Earl Ofari Hutchinson tells us that Republicans are well-known for dirty tricks like this – although he can’t seem to point to any specific incident.

    The deep suspicion is that Greene is a GOP cropper; that is, that he’s a bought-and-paid-for plant by the party to make fools of the Democrats and ensure a cakewalk victory for GOP Senate incumbent Jim DeMint. Possible — it’s happened before, the GOP has been accused of secretly bankrolling plants, shills, and croppers….

    Nonetheless, even if Greene is a dirty trick played on South Carolina voters, Hutchison says we should support Greene regardless of the felony charge;

    Greene didn’t simply beat these odds. He rewrote them. He is one antidote for those fed up with the stench of money and deal making in politics. Voters should take careful note of what Greene did in South Carolina with a felony rap hanging over him, with no name, no money, and seemingly not a prayer of a chance to win, and then does. That’s what a Rocky can do, tainted though he may be.

    All it proves is that whenever the Democrats need a candidate, any old felon will do. How hard is it to beat every other Democrat in SC?

    Alvin Greene, 32, didn’t raise any money. He didn’t have a website. And his opponent was a relatively better-known former legislator, Vic Rawl, who was already preparing for the general election.

    Greene was considered such a long shot that his opponent and media didn’t even bother to check his background. If they had, they would have discovered he faces a felony obscenity charge after an alleged encounter with a college student last fall.

    Of course, state party leaders are asking Greene to withdraw. Fat chance – the man has no job and what better way to hide from prosecutors than hiding in plain sight on the floor of the Senate voting the party line of Harry Reid It’s worked in Congress for Charlie Rangel and John Murtha (and to a limited extent for William Jefferson) why not the Senate?

    Here’s what Greene is accused of;

    According to Greene’s accuser, “a rather large man came and sat right next to me. He said, ‘Hi.’ I thought he was being friendly, so I said hi back.”

    However, she says that’s where the polite talk ended.

    “Then he was like, ‘Do you like football?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ Then he asked me to look at my screen and it was just a bunch of porn and he was scrolling and laughing. Then he just looked at me and said, ‘Let’s just go back to your room now.’ That’s when I decided it was time to leave,” said the alleged victim.

    Kinda reminds me of the old Clinton days.

    UPDATE: Melony writes to tell us that the Daily News reports that Greene was involuntarily discharged from the Army after 13 years;

    ABC News reported on another skeleton: Greene was involuntarily booted out of the Army in August after a 13-year military career that included time as an intelligence specialist and later a unit supply specialist.

    He declined to discuss details of his discharge, telling ABC only, “Things just weren’t working.”

  • CIA’s drone program under assault

    In this morning’s Washington Post, Mark Theissen warns that the United Nations and the American Civil Liberties Union are joining forces to end the CIA’s successful drone program in Afghanistan;

    The special rapporteur, Philip Alston, was joined in his condemnation by the American Civil Liberties Union, which in an April 28 letter to Obama, accused him of supporting a “program of long-premeditated and bureaucratized killing” and declared that the program “violates international law.” The ACLU wrote that “financiers, and other non-combat ‘supporters’ of hostile groups cannot be lawfully targeted with lethal force.” Yet that is precisely what Obama did in the case of Yazid.

    On The Post’s op-ed page Sunday, Treasury Undersecretary Stuart Levey called the killing of Yazid a “major blow” to al-Qaeda because “Yazid has essentially served as al-Qaeda’s ‘chief financial officer,’ coordinating the group’s fundraising and overseeing the distribution of money essential to its survival.” By the ACLU’s reasoning, this would make the strike that killed Yazid illegal. Does the ACLU want to see the Predator operator who took out al-Qaeda’s third in command prosecuted for murder? The ACLU has already gone after CIA interrogators — surreptitiously photographing these covert operatives and sharing the images with al-Qaeda terrorists in Guantanamo. CIA drone operators may soon be in for similar treatment.

    Yeah, it frightens me that lawyers are trying to insinuate themselves into the role of war fighters. It’s impossible to hold warriors to a civilian legal standard during day-to-day operations when their crime is just doing their jobs.

  • Golf or Gulf

    Ace says this video will go viral, so who am I to break the sacred chain?

    Do I think it’s fair to Obama? Nope. He can’t stop the oil anymore than he can provide health insurance to people who don’t want to pay for it. He can’t budge BP to plug the leak anymore than he can make them develop “clean energy”. He can’t force people to clean up the mess anymore than he can find real private sector jobs for them.

    I’m running the video to stick my finger in the eye of all of those fucksticks who pestered Bush anytime he didn’t do what they thought he should be doing for eight years. How’s your messiah smell now?

  • Phil Hare twists over phony soldier charge

    Do you remember Phil Hare who said he doesn’t care about the Constitution in regards to healthcare? Well he got busted again trying to intimidate a veteran who happens to be a constituent. Someone sent me the story last night but I was holding off until I could get more details, but Big Government ran with it.

    In his letter, Ken Moffit accuses Hare of being a phony veteran which enrages Hare. Hare’s former commander, Bill Albracht, who happens to be at the event, confirms that “legally” Hare isn’t a veteran. Given all of the information in the letter, I can only assume that Hare never served on active duty and spent all of his time inhabiting a Reserve billet during the Vietnam War and that’s why Albracht tells him that hare is not “legally” a vet. Hare never spent 180 consecutive days on active duty. Not that there’s anything with that – his bio tells the truth;

    In 1969, Phil took his first job at the Seaford Clothing Factory in Rock Island. During the 13 years he cut lining for men’s suits there, Phil served as a union leader and as the President of UNITE HERE Local 617. He also served six years in the U.S. Army Reserves. These experiences gave him the determination to always fight for working families and veterans.

    His first job coincided with the year he joined the Reserves after he spent two years sitting on the waiting list for a position to open in the Reserves. He spent the previous four years taking college deferments – again nothing wrong. So he’s a veteran of annual two weeks training and a weekend a month. He accrued no veterans benefits – he only avoided the draft in perfectly legal ways.

    But it’s gutless way he wraps his heavy drop self in it. I’m sure there’s nothing in his records that’ll deviate from his skimpy resume`, but it sure is nice to watch the little union greaseball twist.

    Thanks to Lolly for the reminder this afternoon.
