Congratulations to this week's winners!The reet petite DUzies will be announced every Friday, if I get around to it. Previous awards can be found in my journal. Note to Mods: Skinner has authorized the DUzy Awards to be posted in GD. On a thread by maddezmom: New barbs hit home in US Iraq showdown(White House lashed Congress Friday for going on vacation) "WASHINGTON (AFP) - The White House lashed Congress Friday for going on 'vacation' before signing off on legislation funding troops in Iraq, driving up tensions in a showdown with Democrats for control of the war..." response #7 by soothsayer: shrubby, honey, you're going to have to learn to spend your allowance more carefully. response #16 by Kber: This from the administration that has no e-mails for 18 days due to the Thanksgiving break? Or took the entire month of August off in 2001? Or couldn't be bothered to address the public after the worst natural disaster in modern history (the tsunami) wiped 100K+ people off the earth? Or when Katrina hit? I think Bush's balls must be about twice the size of his brain. response #22 by momster: A Magnifying Glass is needed to see the former...an electron microscope to see the latter. OP by PCIntern: Ms. Doan has created a new verb: "murky" As in "I don't want to MURKY the waters." I like that...you have been present at a great moment in linguistics. Howcum the Rethugs can coin phraseology and terms better than we can? Like the notion that that statement is "inoperative". Stuff like that. as an aside...what a flip babe she is...wow. response #3 by varkam: She no good english talk, apparently. response #5 by whistle: She must have been thinking about republican murky positions ...as in turbid or swampy, lacking brightness and having a moldy smell response #20 by WinkyDink: It's because she's a loyal 'Murkin. On a thread by CorpGovActivist: Perino: "The president was surprised to learn that Congress went on vacation today." response #4 by WinkyDink: Nobody could have anticipated this scheduled Congressional break. response #6 by CorpGovActivist: Who Could Have Predicted a 7th Straight Year of Easter/Passover Recess? He was probably playing the odds, and figured it couldn't possibly occur for a 7th straight year. response #9 by WinkyDink: We viewed those documents from the Middle East discussing such causes as purely "historical". response #10 by BearSquirrel2: After the last "fiasco" After the last "fiasco" Bush has decided to get all his news from the Weather Channel. I guess it just wasn't covered there. On a thread by gatorboy: What's the difference between General Discussion and General Discussion Politics? response #4 by havocmom: about 40 degrees and some busted furniture response #9 by rug: Watercress sandwiches are served in GDP. On a thread by hlthe2b: Reporter's Diary Yields New Clues in Earhart (Amelia) disappearance response #2 by rug: She'll be found before Osama. OP by northofdenali: Pick your own, brand new, Cabinet Posts!! Secretary of "I don't Recall" Secretary of "I was not in the loop" You get it, DU - go for it! Additional points if you include the appointed secretary! My nominee for Secretary of Jesus, Can't You See The Bullshit Department: For the Forget It Asshole, You're Toast Department: For the We Gotcha Department: Mods, move if necessary but with the events of this last week... Aw shit, I forgot "I Didn't Know I Wasn't Really A Green Beret" department, a "New Monica Same Shit" department, a "General Petreaus Unarmed Humvee" department - Well, DU, you get the idea. response #1 by napi21: Director of Homeland Amnesia in charge of all Federal Departments combined! response #4 by Department Of Republican Affairs While thinly disguised as a dating service for married Repubs and headed by Karen Hughes, it's actually designed to funnel bipartisan tax money into partisan coffers. The Republicans thought no one would catch on. On a thread by maddezmom: Tommy Thompson to run for president response #8 by postulater: Run? Heck. The right word is Slither. response #10 by DesertRat: I just saw him announce on This Week With George Stephanopoulos It looks like Tommy used a new bottle of Clairol for Men for the occasion. :rofl: response #13 by scarface2004: whatever.... where have you gone zippy the pinhead? amerika turns its lonely eyes to you! response #16 by zidzi: Oh, good...two thompsons..one a 3rd rate actor and the other a 3rd rate actor. On a thread by ProSense: McCain strolls Baghdad in full armor; U.S. reports six soldiers killed response #6 by Vickers: What's the big deal? I went to Target today wearing full body armor. Oh, and then I took my Kevlar-equipped Humvee over to Publix to get some cous-cous....goddammit, I love that shit. response #9 by Jeff In Milwaukee: Where was your close air support?! Dammit, man, you can't go out there with out at least five gunships covering your exit. On a thread by Up2Late: Court to rule if chimp has human rights response #11 by treestar: Chimpy has human rights Though he and his administration would deny them to others. Even so, Chimpy will get a fair trial, and when all the evidence is in, only then will he be thrown into the clink. I wonder if he will interpret the right to confront adverse witnesses as meaning he can attack them militarily! response #16 by Prisoner_Number_Six: Sometimes the jokes simply write themselves. :evilgrin: OP by blueinindiana: My republican dream ticket! Quayle/ Bauer 08 ! GDP, April 2, 2007: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x3194082 On a thread by maddezmom: American diplomat stunned at how deep Iraq's sectarian divide remains(leading reconstruction) "John Melvin Jones has spent more than two dozen years in the Foreign Service, but he says he's never seen anything like this in his life. Jones says he was "taken aback" by how deep-rooted Iraq's sectarian tension remains..." response #1 by Dhalgren: "No one could have known that there were differences between Sunni and Shia!" "We never had any idea that there might be problems with destroying a country's infrastructure and letting it rot, without doing anything effective to restore it!" "No one could have known that Iraqis are, like, Muslims, or something, and have their own culture and traditions! No one knew that Iraqis weren't just Texans needing a shave!" response #9 by youngdem: Hey John, you'd be SHOCKED what a partisan shill can learn by just removing his head from his ass That bright thing you see is the sun, by the way. On a thread by WI_DEM: Tommy Thompson makes it official! response #2 by weezy2736: Republican Candidate #74982.... no, wait, #74983 There's no real use in speculating yet. When it hits 10,000, I'll throw in my word. response #6 by phaseolus: If a miracle happens & he's elected president, and if history repeats itself... ...the Wisconsin Tavern League will find itself the most powerful force in national politics. First item on the legislative agenda: National drinking age lowered to 15!! Seriously though, Thompson's basically your generic late-20th century Republican -- he's in it for the chance to reward his cronies, and to pick up a little extracurricular nookie that his wife won't find out about. On a thread by Hissyspit: Rep. Kingston (R-GA) "The Democrats' honeymoon is fixing to end. It's going to explode like an IED" response #2 by hatrack: And how did this jackass get elected? Oh, wait, I think I already know . . . Could it be by brandishing the Osama bin Laden Voodoo Doll of Terror in one hand, while thumping the Jesus-tub with the other? Very possibly so! response #10 by TomClash: As if he and his crowd would know an IED from a GED nt On a thread by CK_John: My neighbor, in his 80's, thinks the election is this Nov. I didn't have the heart to tell him. He is an old FDR guy and said he has got to make it to Nov. I'll try to break it to him when he is feeling better. Maybe this will keep him going, until at least the primary. response #4 by mtnsnake: Holy shit you better tell him the truth or he might croak after the 1st wk of November if he sees Bush is still president! If you tell him it's the following year, that'll give him incentive to hang on longer. response #7 by Patsy Stone: I think it's a collective consciousness thing too Maybe the whole cycle is starting so damn early because we all want to pretend we're having an election now to get rid of this ass faster? If you build it, they will come. On a thread by kskiska: Balking at the First Pitch "Bush's Skipping of Opening Day May Perpetuate a Ritual's Slow Decline... "Oh, yes, he was invited," said Bush spokeswoman Emily Lawrimore. She said the president, an avid baseball fan and former part owner of the Texas Rangers, would love to be there. But "it's not possible with his schedule. He's got various meetings during the day, a meeting earlier in the morning. . . . It just wasn't going to work out..." response #4 by givemebackmycountry: Meeting schedule Meeting One: 8:30 am - 10:30 am - The Honorable Herb Age from Amsterdam Meeting Two: 11:00 am - 1:00 pm - Mr. James Beam from Kentucky Meeting Three: 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm - Mr. Doo Bage from Jamaica Meeting Four: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm - Sir Ko Kane from Columbia Meeting Five: 4:00 pm - 4:45 pm - Mr. James "Jack" Daniels from Tennessee Meeting Six: 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm - Miss Caline from Texas Meeting Seven: 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm - Dinner with Laura and the Grey Goose Society Meeting Eight: 8:30 pm - - Bed Hey He's got a FULL day!

If you're careful, you can have the whole thing running before the 6 people who live there notice. response #2 by XemaSab: Word. The problem is the 6 people who live there are still burning kerosene for light, so there are no existing electric lines. :P On a thread by babylonsister: Bush lied today response #1 by northzax: well, it is tuesday what did you expect? response #4 by BOSSHOG: Breaking News, an unnamed administration official said bush told the truth today We'll have more on this developing story at 6:00 and get reaction from national and world leaders. response #7 by Donovan61: Bush doesn't lie EXCEPT on days ending in D-A-Y. response #8 by Turbineguy: I did not hear a single lie I had the sound off. response #8 by Buzz Clik: Let's analyze this title: "Bush Lied Today" Where do we place the emphasis? 1. BUSH lied today. That would be in contrast to Condi, the Press Secretary what's her name, the Secretary of War, the VP. Nope nothing shocking about that. They all lie. 2. Bush LIED today. Meaning, we usually expect him to tell the truth. Um... not so much. 3. Bush lied TODAY. This suggest he lied a lot before and he'll lie some more tomorrow, but we have an specific incident of lying today we'd like to discuss. Well, that's not much news either. Okay. The title wasn't exactly captivating: the entire administration always lie, and they lie every day. So, he lied about the surge? Knock me over with a feather. response #15 by kikiek: My 1st thought when I heard sirens in the the background was that his pants had burst into flames. On a thread by babylonsister: Gingrich: When I Said ‘Language Of Living In The Ghetto,’ I Meant Hebrew "Newt Gingrich said this past weekend that the U.S. should abolish bilingual education so that people aren’t speaking 'the language of living in a ghetto.' But last night on Hannity & Colmes, Gingrich claimed his statement 'did not refer to Spanish.' Gingrich insisted, 'What I meant is very clear,' but then wouldn’t say which language he was referring to..." response #2 by Le Taz Hot: Oy vey! :evilgrin: response #5 by gratuitous: Well, we all know . . . Those damn Hebrew kids, speaking their Yiddish slang, and tagging buildings with that 7WD thingie, are just incorrigible, and I'm glad that someone finally has the guts to call them out on it. Nominate Newt! Nominate Newt! Go Republicans! Or just go. That would work for me, too. response #11 by Dr.Phool: Damned Hispanics, always babbling in Hebrew. Nothing I hate more than getting a menu on the phone, that says, "Press 1 for English, Press 2 for Hebrew". :rofl: :rofl: Press 3 for West Virginiaish, Press 4 for New Englandish. response #12 by TlalocW: Oy, what a schmuck Hebrew/Yiddish is the language of the ghetto that we've got to be wary against? So if I'm schlepping something heavy for some poor schlmazel who hurt his tuckus, I'm all ghetto now? response #15 by tanyev: I hope Newt has a good chiropractor. He's going to need a lot of help after all the contortions to try and extricate himself from this one. On a thread by ck4829: Bush’s abstinence chief resigns "Wade Horn, the Bush administration's point man for welfare reform, Head Start, and abstinence education, resigned Monday as assistant secretary for children and families in the Department of Health and Human Services..." response #2 by Buzz Clik: Mr. Horn, nicknamed "Horny" by President Bush... said that he was leaving because, in his current role, he wasn't "getting any" and was looking for a job that "would attract more chicks. I mean, seriously, how long do you expect me to ignore nature's urges?" response #9 by TlalocW: He wanted to spend more time with his family Wait... His families.

Meghan L. O'Sullivan, who has played a key behind-the-scenes role in implementing Bush's Iraq policies over the past four years, will leave this spring. Her departure, which follows that of her deputy, could leave the White House with a vacuum of long-term experience on Iraq policy, and it comes as Bush and the Democratic-controlled Congress prepare for a showdown over withdrawing U.S. troops. O'Sullivan, 37, known for her 100-hour work weeks and steady optimism over the eventual outcome in Iraq..." response #3 by JohnnyRingo: Wow...She spent 100 hour weeks planning Iraq War policy? This Iraq War? Pee Wee Herman could have planned it on a cocktail napkin at happy hour and we would have been home by now. Demote her to Postmaster General. response #10 by IanDB1: Meghan L. O'Sullivan has resigned to spend more time ethnically cleansing her own family. n/t OP by MonkeyFunk: Just how dumb were people in the 30s and 40s?

Can you imagine him, as the front man, at a press conference?: Press: Mr. VP. Your campaign, now in its third month, has yet to raise a million dollars in donations. Do you really think that you can win the nomination without any money? Cheney: I have no doubt that, at the end of the Republican Convention, we will be greeted as victors. Flowers, ballons, tickertape, corporate perks. The whole nine yards. Press: Do you ever intend to reveal any information about the meetings you held seven years ago with the giants in the energy industry, and, if elected, do you plan similar meetings? Cheney: (sneers) I know you. You're that big time asshole from the Globe. When and if such a meeting occurs, you'll be specifically invited. Your challenge will be to find the meeting and get past security. Press: Your administration has been charged by some of the Democratic candidates as being the most corrupt and incompetent in recent memory, and that your role in those problems was central.

I'm beginning to consider him a bit impaired response #17 by TwoSparkles: McCain is... ...nuttier than a ten-pound box of peanut brittle. ...and that's a whole lotta nutty. I get the feeling that he went off the deep end after Junior insulted him and his child--and then was forced to hug and grope Junior on the campaign trail. We'll never know why McCain made the choices he did. We just know that he's now a human pistachio. OP by rhino47: What are good ways to make wingnuts heads explode?

The ocean is not deep. Rain is made of blueberry muffins. Now we know why Smirk found this new general. He is an outrageous fucking lying piece of shit.

True, it's a different perspective from what some historical findings have shown--not a viewpoint popular with the mainstream media and so-called historians, of course--but doesn't every side of this controversial issue deserve the public's attention?

(April 4, 07) response #6 by InternalDialogue: It's Friday. That's usually when the studios release their films.

And coming soon to DVD... don't forget those classics that are being released for a limited time only from the Bin Laden Vault! response #8 by Ezlivin: I think I'll wait for the Director's Cut It's got deleted scenes and outtakes, plus a voice-over commentary by bin Laden himself.

Fraser's mother Diana Silva told CBS 2..." response #5 by Ezlivin: Her actions give aid and comfort to the enemy They are watching every single thing we do and when they see this 13 year old kid being disobedient it encourages them to be suicide bombers. response #11 by MindPilot: And it demoralizes the troops If the soldiers find out a school kid wrote on a desk they will simply lose the will to fight. It just isn't worth protecting freedom when it's abused like that. response #24 by hang a left: Why does she hate America? response #16 by wtmusic: I hope there's a statute of limitations or I'm in deep doo-doo. :D response #28 by Wilber_Stool: So the murderer asked me What are you in for, kid. Writing on my desk, I said. And they all moved away from me. response #33 by Rowdyboy: Over-reaction.

I walked into the house, turned on the TV to MSNBC, and there's our friend Norah O'Donnell having a whole conversation with a 'guest' where the first two words out of each of their mouths were: Some People. This must have been seven or eight times in a row. They have begun to parody themselves...the question is, do they know that they're doing this or do they function at an even lower level than that? "Some People" want to know.... response #1 by MrModerate: "Some people" are gutless cowards . . . "Some people" ooze off the page of an RNC blast-fax. "Some people" haven't left the Washington DC city limits for 10 years. "Some people" have been told by their corporate bosses to flog the wingnut issue du jour.
