Unfortunately all we’ve got is a room full of waterboy’s for the Executive branch, and Mukaskey will have to wait until we elect some actual congressmen and senators.

It seems if anyone dares respond to one of your unsolicted attacks that your panties bunch to a mass dense enough to create a black hole.

Which would account for the ones in your heads.

Remember when the lunatics were just on a nice, distant fringe

I’m sorry, …er….”lindy lou” is it?

What exactly is it you’re accusing me of? I’m “Karl Rove” now?

You’re accusing me of being a neocon? Is that your position?

Or are you just another braindead member of this crybaby Chorale here this evening, trying to pile on the pile, without knowing why?

Perhaps to you its a battle.

And if so, its amazing in all your self important lectures you never mention the fact its a “battle” which you initiated.

Also still lacking, is the one coherent argument containing a fact or two that actually refutes any position I took, anywhere.

You accuse me of declaring myself “the winner”, (of what I’m not sure) when you yourself are sitting here declaring some sort of invisible victory over me, while mysteriously never seeming to produce the argument, facts, or even a coherent summary of the positions in which you profess superiority.

Perhaps in one of your “Bartlebee’s bad, and we’re all good” speeches, you might produce one single fact, at least summarily, so as to illuminate your “win”?

You really are Sherlock Holmes. Nice going. From now on my replies to those two (rare though they may be) start with “Herr Karl.” Thank you.

[S]ince brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief. Your [ignoble self] is mad.
Mad call I it; for, to define true madness,
What isn’t but to be nothing else but mad?
But let that go.

Stay in your own movie,

Where do I begin?

After all, if I’m mad for merely “responding” to your unsolicited pompous derision of me, what precisely does that make you again?

Think beyond “mad”…… “I tell you”.

As for “staying in my own movie”, it wasn’t I who decided to come in as the self annointed maturity guru, and begin berating a blogger who never berated me.

That was your call, Polonius.

But it is fascinating how you guys love starting crap, but cry when what you serve up is served back to you.

Thanks Bob, but, as you cogently and poetically point out, we’re in a battle with a madman. See my posts with him under “A Lawsuit of Biblical Proportions: Christian Publisher Sued for Allegedly Homophobic Translation of Bible.” I suggest we all declare our preconscious adolescent the winner and move on. If you check out his blog he has the humility to refer to himself as “Saint Bartlebee,” and as we have learned from this blog he is perpetually “at your service.” Not sure what he serves of relevance or importance but he’s always here–apparently playing baseball. However, he’s more like the guy you ask to play golf only to find out that his self-worth is tied to winning the round. He’ll play all day and all night to beat you and when he finally does win a hole, its time for his coronation. In our case here, old Bartlebee declares himself the winner of every hole regardless of the scorecard. I prefer not to pander to that kind of insecurity, so I simply treat him like russ, and when he goes over a couple of inane sentences, I just quit reading altogether. He crossed the Rubicon with me when he attacked Patty C, a health care provider, for doing her job and having the audacity to mention it. We still don’t know what he does for a living but I suspect Marvel Comics or X-box games are somewhere in the mix. I choose not to respond to his ignorance under the time tested “singing pig theory.” If you choose to respond to him, may I suggest monosyllabic responses interspersed with few grunts; those polysyllabic words seem to agitate him.

For Harold & Kumar are escaping from Gitmo
And it has me laughing at the truly mad.

It’s funnier that way.

Consider Bartlebee, at your service.

You and your Thesaurus are always welcome to pitch me a few softballs.

I can use the batting practice.

Thank you Mr Polysyllabic.

But tantrums they are nonetheless, since all he’s doing is crying about someone daring to stand up to his and his mascots lame attacks.

Note I never attacked them first.

They came looking for it.

And they found it.

And now, they’re crying about, and trying to appear superior while still discussing me in the third person, and waiting for their circle-jerk pals like you to show up, to climb on the pile on.

“MessPo blathered —
“Who writes 4 posts and a hundred words or so to cover what could be said in a sentence?”

FYI, Mespo doesn’t blather, he articulates; quite well actually.

“Another straw argument.”

Actually, that was Mespo posing a rhetorical question.

“You’ll note, that my previous responses to your temper tantrums were much shorter.”

The foregoing lacks intersubjective verification; in so much as one would be hard pressed to characterize Mespo’s posts as “tantrums.”

A political speech writer?

Think Jesse Jackson reads “Green Eggs & Ham” by Dr. Seuss

(see?)

*****
Mespo,

Pretty good…

I can make an educated guess, but since he obviously ‘knows’ everything, perhaps we should just ask him!

A “southern gentleman” had a duel with a “crooked fellow”. The “gentleman” explained all the protocols of honorable “dueling with pistols” etc. The “gentleman” went over the mutually agreed term that both combatants would start back-to-back, count ten paces, turn, and fire their weapons. This all went very nicely until the “crooked fellow” turned at count seven, and shot the “southern gentleman” in the back! And this is so indicative of what’s been happening with the “honorable” congress vs. the Republican Criminal Enterprise. They, the enterprise, have no respect for the rule of law. But ironically, they use that respect, and adherence to the law by others, as a shield against accountablilty. With the democrats, it’s not showing up to a gun fight with a knife. It’s showing up to the beaches of Normandy with boxing gloves!

One cannot give honor to others, who have no interest in giving honor to themselves!

You’re gonna want to repeat those words while watching the “Leave Brittany Alone” video on Youtube, for the full effect.

Here’s something we hope, you’ll really like.

I and my team work with medical professionals, saving lives, all day
-can you say the same

Now THATS funny stuff.

I am not going to read your, nor any newbies’ series of posts

———-

Words written right before proceeding to read every single one of this “newbies” posts.

So much for the character debate, ay?

I’ll consider it a sequel.

I really liked the one where your balling twin declares “I save lives!”.

That ones my favorite.

Lemme know when you want to come up for air.

I agree rafflaw seems to have it down.

Who writes 4 posts and a hundred words or so to cover what could be said in a sentence?

Another straw argument.

You’ll note, that my previous responses to your temper tantrums were much shorter.

Seems they weren’t enough to “drive the nail home” so to speak.

Thought I’d spell it out for you.

Obviously another lost cause….. as is your positions, since you by your own admission, have been attacking me for what effectively equates, to “nothing”.

Jill

And the really sad part is, that when he bitchslaps you back, you start crying like babies about how bad he is.

As I said, don’t like it?

Don’t come lookin for it.

“I’m sure he appreciates you two mental midgets, launching vicious attack after vicious attack, on one blogger who is posting on topic, so as to bury any real discussion on the issues, and instead turn it into a personal vendetta of you two little kids.”
******************

I’m using paranoia as my working diagnosis after this exchange. What do you think, oh savior of cholera victims? The volume of invective is just astounding. Who writes 4 posts and a hundred words or so to cover what could be said in a sentence? Well on the positive side, since his financial house is in order, I ‘m guessing he’s got major medical. I feel like R.P. McMurphy in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” Between russ and this guy, it’s a veritable case study on fools. I can’t wait for installment three…and four…and five…etc….etc. I am also hoping for more smiley faces–haven’t since so many since about 1974. The sad part is we agree with this guy and he just doesn’t get it.

Fine. Debate it.

Wanna throw in some quips? Fine.

But scroll up, and notice that nothing either of you say do that, but instead you’re just launching attack after attack, like two little children.

Which is why, all you’re going to get back, is more of the same.

Don’t like it skippy?

Then don’t come lookin for it.

I’m sure he appreciates you two mental midgets, launching vicious attack after vicious attack, on one blogger who is posting on topic, so as to bury any real discussion on the issues, and instead turn it into a personal vendetta of you two little kids.

This is a blog on Karl Rove, not a place for two insecure assclowns to proclaim their professions as if that had the slightest pertinance to discussing Karl Rove.

One sign of knowing when you’ve lost whatever debate you’ve engaged in, is when you resort to declaring your profession, as if anyone here cares, as if we don’t all have jobs, incomes, homes, families, civic duties, etc.

When one does that, proclaims as this idiot did, “I’m save lives!…what do you do?”, then clearly they are simply admitting to being out of brainpower on the topic at hand, and have nothing of substance to offer.

I don’t care if you, or her are saving babies from cholera in your basements while simultaneously curing bone cancer at St Judes Hospital.

It doesn’t mean a thing in here.

We all have jobs, Slappy.

But most of us don’t need to brag about them to try and bolster untenable positions, or our inability to compete in the medium provided.

No slick, my mother passed away a long time ago, and my financial affairs are quite in order, thank you, albeit none of your business, nor are they applicable to anything I stated.

Your friend, Patty C, keeps come looking for it.

Its not my fault she chooses to insult and attack me in post after post, nor is it my fault that your combined brainpower is able to come up with anything other than tired blogger pejoratives and quips.

I am perfectly happy though to continue responding “in kind” to hers, and your, impotent attacks on me, my character and my livelyhood.

If you don’t like it, then I suggest, you take some good advice, and “don’t come lookin for it”.

Clear it up any, skippy?

“On another note, by “saving lives”, do you mean voluntarily subjecting yourself to physical restraint so as not to injure your care providers [sic]?”

*****************

Here’s a guy typing vitriolic nonsensical post after vitriolic nonsensical post — probably from his Mom’s basement — and mocking you for saving lives. Is that pathetic or what? From a clinical standpoint, do you think symptoms like this are more indicative of Intelligentsia Derangement Disorder [given the need to be recognized as brilliant at the expense of others] or obsessive-compulsive disorder [based on the showy mindless repetition a la russ] or maybe even ODD? No diagnosis is possible of course, but I like to know what possibilities I am dealing with.

Thank you! That’s what I had thought. HOW can Rove claim “Executive Privilege” when he doesn’t work for the White House anymore?
———–

I know, it’s amazing, is it not? In fact, its Karl Rove’s attorney, who russ claims has more experience in the law than Professor Turley, who’s trying to purport this legally untenable defense.

The President is the one who invokes executive privilege, NOT the lawyer of a guy being called in for questioning.

And the President hasn’t done that. Because he can’t.

Whether I could, or could not, I would not degenerate to proclaiming such a thing with a megaphone, in an internet blog merely to bolster a juvenile rant.

On another note, by “saving lives”, do you mean voluntarily subjecting yourself to physical restraint so as not to injure your care providers?

Whether EP OR Absolute Immunity (whatever that is), it doesn’t mean it rules of the day.

Patty C 1, July 10, 2008 at 8:51 pm

“It is called Separation of Powers. He does not have to respond to it! The House Judiciary Committee can go blow smoke.

The White House does not answer to the House of Representatives. That has been the law of the land for 200 + years and if it ever got to the Supreme Court the House knows the Supreme Court would agree with the President.”

****

Not so – he does have to ‘Answer’ ie appear – even if he refuses to
actually answer certain questions.

This is, in effect, what ’separation of powers’ means, Michael.

His is a ‘possible’ argument AND not a persuasive one at that, in my view.

I say Rove loses, hands down, which is probably why he won’t risk showing up – ever, if he can avoid it!

Yeah, your earlier post pretty much sums it up. Sorry I missed it for all the chaff being thrown around.

Just two more points or nails in the coffin:

Executive privilege is not an inherent executive power; John Marshall was its midwife and the case against Nixon let it out of the incubator.

And, assuming the Democrats grow a spine, they’d be wise to SLOW-PLAY any remaining cards against Rove and the Administration. The same way you’d slow play an objection to personal jurisdiction until a moment where you’ve run down the statute of limitations clock on your opponent’s cause of action.

The Democrats should keep their mouths shut until January 21, 2001 and kill the pardoning power element.

Regards,

Bob

Thank you! That’s what I had thought. HOW can Rove claim “Executive Privilege” when he doesn’t work for the White House anymore? That he has the audacity to claim it at all is no surprise, though. He and others at the White House seem to have this ridiculous notion that the laws of this country do NOT apply to them. Rather like Nixon, and we all know the outcome of HIS case.

NOT in helping Turdblossom stay out of jail for screwing around with the Justice Dept. Got any other Red Herrings you’d like to serve up there Sparky?
*********************

Oh, I’m sure “Russ” does, and no doubt he’ll try floating every single one of those tedious Red Herrings right here to see if anyone “salutes” them. He’s just mad because we’re shooting big holes in them instead.

I will remain hopeful that Rove will be going down sooner or later, but I’d love to see him go down sooner.

Thank you for your information yesterday. I believe it is quite important. Would you post the link again. This entire thread has become so long it is hard to find your original post.

Thank you,

Jill

That’s why my point above is so important. This is not a claim of executive privilege. It is a claim of absolute immunity from forced testimony before Congress.

I read your exchange with our newest human spam, Bartlebee. Were I you I would treat him like russ, niblet, or my new favorite, martha h, and just ignore him because he has little constructive to say and he is anything but edifying.

whooliebacon:

I think Rove made it to Argentina. I wonder if that house on Garibaldi Street is still renting. Don’t all fascists make it there one time or another?
