One loser backing another loser. Hillary is sure getting her share of liberal morons. One Mayor is cheating on his wife, another political hack is being paid by Hillary to get him out of debt. Paying another idiot in South Carolina. I wonder how much Hillary is paying Joe Wilson?

Why ?? She supported the war when it was politically expedient to do so. She turned against the war when THAT was politically expedient.
A self serving political hack !!
People like Hillary give opportunism a bad name !!
Say it ain't so, Joe !

Makes sense. Big Liar endorsing an even bigger Liar. Maybe he'll get that government job this time that he couldn't get from supporting Kerry. For the sake of our country i hope not though.

You Republicans shouldn't judge everyone by your own standards. As if you have any left . . . .

Have you forgotten that Joe Wilson worked FOR this administration? At least he came to his senses.

Next we'll be hearing from Baggy pants Berger. His "punishment" for stealing National Security papers will be up by the time Billary is back in the White House. Hey Joe Wilson don't turn your back on your wife and Bill.

You are right dave, Valarie Wilson does meet Bill CLinton's qualification as a Hot women. The Mayor of San Franscisco got his aide's woman in bed (talk about the ultimate campaign gift LOL!). I wonder what this will cost the Clinton's?

jerry/corpus christi texas (Sent Monday, July 16, 2007 4:13 PM)

Anyone surprised by this endorsement? Hands? No one?

>> Skip the rehetoric serious people. <<<

Yeah, and you are just so serious all the time H P. We're taking bets about how many drool cups you fill up in a day. Over/under is three. What say you? (I've got the over.)

Note to the "Joe was Pro-Bush but Came to His Senses" pushers:

A career civil servant serves EVERY Administration in charge during their tenure. Joe just "happening" to work while Bush is in office does NOT signify support for him. I call that a typical "Smoke Screen" and it's not working.

BTW - I don't think people from the Left claiming others have "no standards left" is any better than the Joe For Bush campaign. Why do you feel the urge to throw accusations rather than comment on the event at hand?

Or is that all you have to offer?

Dave/Jerry and all you other wing-nuts who love to bring up past descretions of Clinton's staff like Burger and giving pardon to Rich;who by the way; was defended by his attorney Scooter Libby.... who cares except you guys who want to keep bringing it up like a score card. If you want to compare lets see who has better approval ratings now-Bill Clinton and/or your president.

Jerry- you have jumped off the cliff again. Your stupidty, lack of intelligent discussion skills, and hard core reactionary neo-con beliefs are what has led this country to ruinous lows. Keep up the lousy posts you moron. In Jan 09' we will have a veto proof majority in Congress and a Dem in the WH.

Steve, San Diego (Sent Monday, July 16, 2007 4:51 PM)

juan of course Clinton has better ratings among democrats. They have no standards. They admire Clinton for his ability to lie to their faces. Oh we know he's lying, but he makes us "feel" so good about ourselves.

Doug, mark this day on your calender in two years time. Let's see where we stand between President Bush and whomever you libs are dumb enough to put in the white house. Everything, iraq, economy, country, popularity. Let's see who is the better person. I don't think you guys are man enough (or woman for that matter) to keep up your side of the coin. May the better man win!

Have no fear you bush bootlickers, as long as you pay your share of this 12 billion dollars a month war. This war of lies will go on, I was started by of bunch of non-serviing and a.w.o.l. chicken hawks, exposed by Joe Wilson for their lies and manipulations , and cheered on by those who never served, as the ex-marine would say " you beak flapping chickens hawks", always ready to send your sons and daughters off to die, so they can sit on their fat a**es and watch and fake news for their line of B.S reasoning . Read book, turn off boob tube, you boobs.

uh, jerry, who are you posting to? I did not see a "Doug" who posted here prior to yours.
didn't you post last week we were not going to be allowed to bash bush after 1/20/2009 since he will not be in office anymore? well, the usual hypocrite you are, why do you have such a "love affair" for Clinotn? It is long after he left office, yet, contradictory to your own belief about dissing someone out of office, you continue. you are such an hypocrite...and it seems to me that subsequent to all the Plame and Wilson controversy, Wilson's claims have been proven correct (no yellow cake was sought) while bush has been all wrong (no WMDs, not treated a liberators, last throes, etc). all you neocons need not only how to read, but to understand what you read.

Some days, it seems to me... that if Jerry weren't here, this little blog would just dry up and blow away. On the other hand, what is the demographic of people who are addicted to repetitive, moronic conversations? Maybe if Jerry were somehow...unplugged, some brighter bulbs would take up the slack. Who knows?

Dave- in light of all the damage done by our douche-bag-in-chief and his puppetmaster, I'd be a little careful about talking about people's ability to 'lie to our faces' and 'having no standards'.

Buzz (Sent Tuesday, July 17, 2007 8:35 AM)

In a way, Joe Wilson has diminished his image (yes, GOPers, I know you all feel who couldn't get any lower) by making an endorsement. Wasn't the storyline that he was above politics, just using his expertise in both Iraq and Niger for fact finding, and then pulled into partisan politics along with his wife by a reckless Bush Administration that didn't like the facts he found?

So now we see him making an endorsement. I don't know - it gives some credence to what the Bushies had been saying about him - that he was partisan from the start. I'm more impressed with someone like a Tony Zinni, who also offered his critical analysis but who thus far at least hasn't stepped down from the above-the-game pedestal.

When jerry/corpus christi texas jumps in so fast you know he's worried. His whole world view is collapsing around him! How can I say this simply so jerry understands? Hillary Clinton is proud to take Joe Wilson's endorsement. It speaks volumes over Sen. David Vitter's endorsement of another New Yorker - Rudy Guiliani. Next topic . . .

Does anyone even care what Joe Wilson says?

This is like the Dunking Donuts guy telling me he likes Reebok instead of Nike.

I see that a federal judge has given the Plame lawsuit against the Bush administration the boot.Wilson has as much relevance as a 1970s mood ring.
