Mitch McConnell: Liar

2008-06-15T15:29:43Z

By now it is readily apparent that Mitch McConnell can lie with a "straight" face, as he did about smearing 12-year old Graeme Frost.

Some might call that pathalogical. But that's for Mitch and his shrink to work out.

Here we have a nice graphic of Mitch as a worm, as this video recounts this latest sordid episode...that seems about right.

Mitch McConnell Blatantly Lies About His Role In Smearing 12-Year Old

2008-06-15T15:30:38Z

This man is pathological, as his career of sliming others and self-hatred will attest to.

He should be the poster boy of the GOP. A socially inept loser who tries to make up for that working the levers of power and corrupt corporate cash to screw everyone else so he feels better about himself.

Pathetic.

Leahy Expects Mukasey To Be Confirmed After meeting with Attorney General-designate Michael Mukasey, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said that he expects the nominee to win confirmation. The AP reports Leahy said Mukasey is "headed for swift approval with scant objections."

On another hot-button issue, McClatchy reports over 40 Republican members of Congress "on Tuesday demanded assurances from President Bush's attorney general nominee that he will investigate the prosecution of two Border Patrol agents now in prison for the shooting of a Mexican drug smuggler."

Armenian Genocide Bill's Chances Fading The strong reaction of Turkey, an important US ally, to a House bill that would label the deaths of Armenians just before the birth of the modern Turkish state a "genocide" has several key lawmakers second-guessing their support of the measure.

Former House Leaders Now Lobby For Turkey The New York Times notes that former Rep. Bob Livingston, who resigned on the verge of becoming speaker in 1999, has since "been the main lobbyist for Turkey in blocking Congressional efforts to pass an Armenian genocide resolution. After succeeding twice before - and collecting more than $12 million in fees for his firm, the Livingston Group - he is pushing once again for his client." The Times "also reports that former House Democratic leader Richard Gephardt "began working for Turkey in March under a yearlong contract worth $1.2 million."

Pelosi Lashes Out At "Hate Radio." The AP reports that at a press conference attended by Paul Simon, Speaker Nancy Pelosi criticized "hate radio," saying that attacks on the Democrats' poster child for the SCHIP debate, Graeme Frost, 12, "were 'beneath the dignity of the debate' that surrounds the legislation."

Finally, some funnies-

Jay Leno: "Rudy Giuliani and John McCain have teamed up to attack Mitt Romney. See, you need two people to attack Romney, one for each of his positions on the issues."

Jay Leno: "Now political experts are saying that Giuliani and McCain could be the Republican ticket. Or a remake of 'Grumpy Old Men'. Either one of those."

The Vicious, Shameless, Amoral Right

2008-06-12T09:34:48Z

I haven't written much about the newest ignominy of the Right, their attacks on a 12-year old boy who would dare say he needs the S-CHIP program after suffering trauma from a car accident.

I haven't done so because talented folks, such as Digby, Christy Hardin Smith, Ezra Klein and the folks at Think Progress have well-covered this subject. Also because one is almost numbed to it by now--the paranoid and angry "minds" of the Phalange Right attacking a 12-year old boy sadly doesn't even make one bat an eyelash at this point.

But if you really want to know what a deranged movement American "Conservatism" has become, as well as its party organ FoxN...I mean the Republican Party, just read Karen Tumulty's piece on "The Swift Boating Of Graeme Frost."

I suppose when your party is run by chest-thumping, bed-wetters who talk tough yet shriek in horror with bad knees, anal cysts and "other priorities" when their time comes to fight in the wars they advocate, attacking a 12-year old would come only naturally.
