that's awesome.

Lieberman just keeps digging. by the time his term's up, maybe even his wife will dump his ass.

yes, Powell is still the guy who unforgivably held up the vial at the U.N. But his endorsement would still be a huge plus for our side

Ordinarily, I'd argue that with you but as atrios points out with depressing regularity, the only people considered "serious" when it comes to foreign policy and Iraq are those who were most wrong.

So yes, sadly an endorsement by Colin "And the Iraqis also rape kittens and cute widdle bunnies" Powell will almost certainly be seen as a good thing by the commentariat.

Seriously, I need a job when i can screw shit up immeasurably badly and still get promoted.

why would ANYONE trust or even want Colin Powell's foreign policy advice?

Isn't this the guy who held up a test tube filled with... well filled with SOMETHING anyway and told the UN that it was biological warfare from Saddam Hussein? And then went on to make up all sorts of crap he knew wasn't true about "mobile weapons labs" and "robot dogs with bees in their mouths and when they open their mouths the bees turn into robot bees that sting really hard"?

I'd be about as eager for Powell's foreign policy advice as I would be for cooking tips from Jeffrey Dahmer.

this is more too-little-too-late from the Cowed Crowd.
Di-Fi wants to stop torture? Well GEE, Diane, maybe you should have thought of that before confirming Michael "Stonewall" Mukasey.

People like Di-Fi, Hagel and Snowe get to make a big show and prance around in their Righteous Indignation about The Very Bad People Who Torture. They don't make as much of a show about the fact that they confirmed the guy who allows the torture to continue.

You'll pardon me if I don't join in the applause. You don't get credit for fixing something YOU broke to begin with.

progressives ARE screaming bloddy murder about this, but no one is listening.

I called my senators (Bob Casey and Arlen Speculum) about the subprime bailout several times, and have gotten zero interest or satisfaction from their offices.

"Internet Porn: Censorship may not be a viable or appropriate solution, but do any of us honestly believe that the ready availability of internet porn is not destroying something sacred within us? Study after study shows that porn tends to depict women in violently subjugated positions, and can shift norms of sexual expectations. Get a group of liberals in a room and there is little they will not pass judgment on, but when we start to talk about this in our politics, the conversation starts and ends with “So what are you going to do, censor it? Repress people sexually?” This is an irresponsibly false choice. Part of the conviction politics I outlined earlier this week is about calling things as we see it."

Who the hell are YOU to say what "a bunch of liberals" will do? And how much porn have you actually watched lately?

Sure, there's some ugly stuff out there, but to issue a blanket statement like "porn tends to depict women in violently subjugated positions" is just plain ignorant. Most porn simply shows people fucking, and I would rather watch that than most television which tends to depict people in violently murdered positions.

My girlfriend and I both watch internet porn, often together. Neither of us buy into "the culture of greed" and I resent being represented as such just because I look at naked ladies online.

Get your own house in order before you start pointing at mine. Someone in comments mentioned that you're Catholic. Maybe if your priests were allowed to enjoy the company of women they wouldn't be raping children. And don't get me started on the rest of the sexual moralists out there, from the closeted Foleys and Vitters in Congress to Oral Roberts University, all of who felt they have the right to tell people what to do with their genitals and all of who failed to live up to the standards they set for others.

dude take your proposed censorship and ram it up your butt.

It's none of your business what consenting adults choose to do with their genitals.

damn straight there's big trouble.

I do not know a single democrat who is happy with what's going on in congress, not one. they are making masssive mistakes by betraying the people who voted for them, and I also believe there will be bitter tears and recriminations in 2008.

Also, for the first time since Clinton/Dole, I do not expect to vote for a democrat: I will either stay how or, as I did in Clinton/Dole, vote third party.
