When I hear these people on the Right, poo poo Valerie Plame's role as an American spy, I think that is an example of Republicans always being loyal to people instead of principles. That the people who wear the flags on their lapels and piss red, white, and blue would take this woman, who was a spy... they try to make it sound like she was a housewife... in between her dusting... she was "Scarecrow & Mrs. King... No, she was an American spy, and what it takes for someone to do that job, she was undercover for all these years. Her family didn't know who she was. Her neighbors didn't know who she was. She had fake business cards. A fake business to go to. To lead this double life is one of the greatest sacrifices that an American can make, and to hear these people go after her -- the very people who are always the ones who are so on the side of national defense -- I think is just disgusting.
Surprisingly, Bill's guest, conservative talking head Joe Scarborough, had the strongest words against the administrations actions:
The question is, how would Republicans have responded... This is what I've been saying from the very beginning... How would Republicans have responded had in 1997, James Carville and Al Gore's Chief of Staff outed a covert CIA agent at a time of war? They would have all been lynched. The fact that they're coming forward now and saying... again, Republicans also said put us in charge because you can't trust Democrats with national security... the fact that you've got Republicans now in charge of national security and they're outing a covert agent at a time of war, it's just inexcusable. And those Republicans that support that, they're the Republicans that, quite frankly, are just interested in power and not interested in the things that they said they were going to do when they came to power.
Of course Bill ended with New Rules...
Regarding boastful bumper stickers:
New Rule: I'm not impressed by what college your kid is going to. George Bush went to Yale. The End.
Regarding the Supreme Court:
New Rule: President Bush's new Supreme Court nominee, Samuel Alito, must bomb an abortion clinic.
I know it sounds crazy, but the right wing needs assurance that they've really got their holy man this time. We can't let the swing vote on the Supreme Court just wind up in the hands of some level-headed legal pussy.
Is Sam Alito a decent man with Christian values? Well, until he kills a nurse with a pipe bomb, there's no way to be sure.
Because there is nothing that you can say to a real conservative to convince him abortion should ever be acceptable other than, "your daughter's pregnant and the father's black."
Now... With all of the hub-bub lately about "qualifications" and "constitutional law," it's sometimes easy to forget why our founding fathers created the judicial branch in the first place: to punish hussies by saddling with them the muling, drooling reminder of their sin.
But here's where overturning Roe vs. Wade could actually turn out to be the best thing for the Democrats. Because if you want to create more liberal voters, don't scare them with the possibility of terrorism. Scare them with the possibility of parenthood.
Cause voters now days are all about the issues that affect "me." They need to see how Bush's fuck ups affect them personally. I mean think about it... Other than the war in Iraq, the Katrina disaster, the deficit, the CIA leak, torture, stopping stem-cell research, homeland security, global warming, and undercutting science, we've yet to really feel the negative effects of the Bush administration.
But you know what voting block had the lowest voter turnout in the last election? Young, un-married women.
And you know who'll be the most effected if they overturn Roe vs. Wade? Kobe Bryant
But after him, young women.
Come on... You're living in South Carolina and you need an abortion. You're going to get on a bus and head to New York. Maybe next time you'll think twice about letting your older brother tuck you in.
Because overturning Roe vs. Wade, won't make abortion illegal. The choice to allow it will just be returned to the states -- in all likelihood, the Blue States. The rest of you will have to make a weekend of it.
Tourism? KA-CHING!
Every state will have a new motto...
"Massachusetts: Where the country was born, but your baby wasn't." "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. No seriously." And of course... "California: I just got an abortion and now I'm going to Disneyland!"
