RETRO NIGHT AT LEFTY'S LOUNGE

LEFTY AND THE LOUNGE LIZARDS are back and badder than ever.  Maybe worse. Drop in with a link and have your favorite drink of choice.  Tonight we swing the doors of Lefty's Lounge wide open to all comers.  And then slam those doors quickly shut because it is cold as hell in a Norse mythology kind of way.  Oy.  Hello again from Lefty Louise, Betty Blogger, Zeit Geist, Franz K, Open Mike and the rest of the bunch at le bar.  It's time for some linking and drinking on The Heretik's open tab.

THE HERETIK WELCOMES all the old regulars and says hello to some new stars.  First up what do you think of what we have on the walls?  Monk says Bush is ornamental. Neil gets some gas.  Alicia goes Silent. Oy, van Damme it.  Oh, the wonder of it all.

FROM THE OLD DOG New Tricks Department:  This kid got his song stolen buy George Bush.  Now John Hall is running for Congress.  He will run a clean campaign and with your help may clean up. 
Low down dirty tricks and slogans are not a thing of the past.  If you didn't know it, this lady revived feminism. She says she did. Oy. Slack Lalane has a history of mud that has been flung.  And remember to Dick Nixon before he Dicks You.   

A CHALLENGE TO THE ADVENTUROUS from Open Mike.  Got a political candidate you love or hate, or love to hate?  Come up with a slogan for your candidate and share it here.  John Raising McCain and Joe The L Is for Loser Lieberman invite you to do your best.

Make mine a vodka tonic (I'll drink it here) and am order of Lincoln Group propaganda to go.

[comandante agi]

I prefer the Renden group. More BANG for your buck if you know what I mean.

[The Heretik]

B'freude, Count of Canal Street, you know the Lincoln Group too well.

[media girl]

Madman for America -- He's crazy enough to be sane.

[blogenfreude]

Hnnn ... he said "Bang" hnnh, hnnh.

[blogenfreude]

Yes, my Heretik ... alas, I do. And according to a report on NPR tonight, the contracts and dollars spent go far, far beyond The Lincoln Group. We're looking at a propaganda ministry that would have made Goebbels shout: "ENOUGH already!"

[The Heretik]

Good one on the Madman and princes, Media Girl. What about Rudy Giuliani Prince of the Shitty? How many New Yorkers would vote for that kid?

[blogenfreude]

I am a New Yorker and I wouldn't vote for Ghouliani for coroner. If we vote for that ...

[The Heretik]

Ghouliani? Was he at the Village Halloween Parade?

[blogenfreude]

Nope - betcha' he was in DC shilling his 'Gruppen' ( http://www.giulianipartners.com/press_cognos_031003.aspx ) to the firms with Iraq contracts ... Rudy is going to keep us safe from them 'terrists' this time! And make a killing of his own!

[The Heretik]

Oops. Big oops from Cernig A large Kurd problem in the Iraqi custard.

[blogenfreude]

And what about Jeanine Pirro? Insisting on Tilting at the Hillary Windmill Since Late 2005!

[catherine]

How about Gropenator picking a new Chief of Staff?

[blogenfreude]

Das Gropenfuhrer is still Governator? Didn't they Gray-Davis him yet?

[Catherine]

Yah, sadly. Here is my link, a subset of the full 583 pics that i took while on vacation.

Speaking of Lincoln (not the propaganda group, the civil war prez), go over to David Horowitz' hateful website, http://www.frontpagemagazine.com, where he has a quote from honest abe about how members of congress who take actions that lower troop morale during wartime should be arrested and even hanged and guess whose picture he has put above the quote? Ted Kennedy and John Kerry.

I did a little blurb on this over on my blog:

http://cafepolitico.blogspot.com/2005/12/david-horowitz-and-lincoln.html

For a while I had a correspondence with David about how he was a hypocrit and takes everything to an illogical extreme- he was constantly accusing the left of being hateful bigots, all the while being a....well...hateful bigot himself. He didn't get it.

I stopped responding to him via email when I realized he was one of those people, like Rush limbaugh and ann coulter, who makes a tremendous amount of money and gets a lot of attention by appealing to uninformed, close-minded people of the type who thought back in the 80's that gun registration was a bad idea because when the Ruskies invaded the US they (the ruskies) would get the list of gun owners and then...ummm...do something with that list. They are also the people who currently dont see the difference between radical muslims and regular peaceful muslims and that radical islam is a tiny percentage of the latter. They are also the people who think that saddam was responsible for 9/11.

In other words, there was no point in engaging him further.

Peace

And have a lovely weekend

I dont get the whole Rudy Guliani for President thing. Ok, he did a good job as MAYOR of NY after 9/11, but wasnt that his job? Why does that make him qualified to be President? So the GOP can invoke 9/11 every two minutes instead of every five?

The evangelical right would never go for it? He's progay and pro abortion rights.

[blogenfreude]

and Giuliani didn't do such a good job here after 9/11 ... his so-called toughness was situation-induced. much like the Dear Leader, it was difficult for him NOT to look good by saying tough things. not that he didn't see people diving out of the towers, but we all did. I smelled the towers burning, and the plasticky smell uptown that night. I was never close to danger, and neither was Rudy. I haven't played a 9/11 card, but Rudy has ...

[The Heretik]

Giuliani before September Eleventh was scheduled for retirement. Does anybody rememeber Bernie Kerik? And Louima? And Diallo?

[Night Bird]

Good Evening All...may I have one of these spiced wines and I hope the 4 CPT workers are released soon.

[Stacy]

I do remember all the scandals Giuliani was embroiled in- his mistress hanging out at the mayor's mansion, his exwife talking dirt about him to the media, etc. It seemed like his political life was over.

There's nothing like a good tragedy for the GOP, huh?

[blogenfreude]

Kerik had not one, not two, but all three of the problems that politicians have - a goumade, graft, AND a nanny problem. Oh to see him fall after the Dear Leader put him forward.

[Linkmeister]

Ooh, look! A new federal agency! But this one'll be so secret even those nasty FOIA users won't learn what it's doing!

Gimme some botulism willya? But don't say where you got it from!

[The Heretik]

John Hall said to say hello to the Nightbird. There will be no singing Seventies songs this year at one prom

[Shakespeare's Sister]

Good evening, all! Now no horsing around tonight, kids.

McCain's the candidate I love to hate, and my campaign slogan for him, referencing his real one, is Straight Talk (out both sides of my mouth).

An amaretto on the rocks, as per usual, please, Lefty.
