I suggest you head over to his website and school this neocon asshole, who is whining about HCR passing and the GOP’s humiliation … here’s my comment:

David David David … as they said in Star Wars – only when it is too late, do you finally understand.  Not to dredge up too many movies, but in 2000 you and your ilk started making orcs – you called on the worst of the worst to elect W.  That SC move claiming McCain had a black baby?  Sure, it worked.  But you, with your written speeches and whoring of the Iraq war, with your questioning the patriotism of anyone who disagreed with the Boy King … you and your ilk are damnably to blame. A trillion dollars David, and hundreds of thousands of dead innocent Iraqis, and thousands of dead soldiers, all dead in a fake war you ginned up. You decided to play the politics of hate, and look what it got you.  You should be ashamed – you should retire from public life and repent your sins. And hey – you’re Canadian!  You have health care already!  Celebrate.

Register and comment – and give no quarter.

Josh:

The House is now voting on the “rule.” Now what does that mean? It’s not “the” vote. That will come later. Rather it’s the vote that sets up the ground rules for the next two votes. Sort of deep into the procedural mumbojumbo but a very big deal.

Late Update: And it just went over the 216 required for passage.

We’re getting to the point where the sausage is almost ready for packaging.

Seven fucking years:

Seven years ago today, President Bush launched the Iraq war. In a televised address to the nation, Bush told the American people “at this hour American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.” Over the last several years, ThinkProgress has been keeping a Timeline of the Iraq War, marking the key events in the U.S. invasion, occupation, and now ongoing withdrawal from the country.

Mission Accomplished, bitchez … except for all the people that keep dying.

Virginia’s AG says he’ll sue if HCR passes:

You know, the one who told Virginia universities it was okay to discriminate against gay students? Or how he told Virginia residents that he thought he could challenge Obama’s presidency based on his birth place? Or how he said he wasn’t getting a Social Security number for his kid because it’s being “used to track you”? That’s the guy, freakishly right wing, birther numbskull Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

So he’s got 1) birther credentials; 2) hatred of teh gayz; and 3) a tinfoil hat. Wonder if he’s a deather as well.

Virginia’s Wingnut AG Says He’ll Sue Federal Government if Health Care Reform Passes [Crooks & Liars]

Queen birther and California secretary of state candidate Orly Taitz not only owes the Fed $20,000, she might have the state bar after her: “The California bar has now begun to investigate the possibility of disciplinary action against Taitz.According to Talking Points Memo, “When Clay Land, the judge in the Georgia case, imposed the fine on Taitz in October, he also directed that a copy of his scathing 43-page order be sent to the California bar ‘for whatever use it deems appropriate.'” … “Mandela had to spend years in prison, fighting corruption in the government,” Taitz told Talking Points Memo in an email. “Responding to an inquiry from the bar is not that bad in comparison.” [RawStory]
