Green Eagle

Joe Lieberman: "I feel relevant,'' Lieberman said in a conference call with a handful of Connecticut reporters this afternoon. "I've taken this position [on health care reform] because I believe it,'' he said." Sure, Joe. The only thing that you believe is that God sent you here to rescue the world, by stabbing your former friends in the back every chance they get. If there was ever a time when you did something because you believe in it, that time ended years ago. Now, you're just another corrupt, self important little weasel, just like all of your new Republican buds. Enjoy it while it lasts, Joe. There's a place waiting in the hereafter for people like you.

As many of you know, in an effort to make the public option palatable to the moronic blue dogs, the administration is considering a provision that is called "opt out." That means that Republican politicians in any state which has left them in charge could decide not to participate in the public plan. We here at Green Eagle are all for this provision, as it will provide us with the magnificent spectacle of Republicans telling their constituents that they can't have the same health insurance as people who elected Democrats to run their states. That should provide us all with a good deal of innocent entertainment. However, always diligent in the study of mindless opposition, the Republicans and, well, you know who (I'm talking to you, Ben) have come up with a new idea: Opt in. Sounds almost the same, doesn't it? Just a minor change- now state governments would just have to vote to participate instead of voting not to participate, right? In case you haven't a...

As further evidence that being a lying scum is an inheritable condition (as if Jonah Goldberg and Bill Kristol hadn't proven that beyond doubt) we have Liz Cheney parading herself on national TV. Her latest exercise in shameful behavior centers around the recent visit by President Obama to Dover Air Force Base, to honor war dead as their caskets were returned to this country. "LIZ CHENEY (RADIO AUDIO): I don't know why he went to Dover. I mean, I think that clearly it is very important for a commander-in-chief, whenever he can in whatever way it possible, to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, our fallen military folks. But, I think, you know, what President Bush used to do was to do it without the cameras..." And without the trip, too. As this poor excuse for a human being must be aware, neither military deserter President Bush not her sainted father, draft dodging Vice President Cheney, ever went to Dover for this purpose. Do I need to explain that? NEVER. That ...

From Yahoo: "WASHINGTON – Vice President Dick Cheney told the FBI he had no idea who leaked to the news media that Valerie Plame , wife of a Bush administration critic , worked for the CIA. Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted of perjury, obstruction and lying to the FBI in the probe of who leaked Plame's identity to the news media. Cheney's denials that he talked about Plame are among the few things in the lengthy interview with the FBI that Cheney appeared certain about. Evidence at Libby's criminal trial showed that Cheney had told Libby about Wilson's wife in mid-June 2003. The vice president advised the agents that he had no idea what Libby knew on the days before Plame's CIA identity was publicly revealed." I.e. he lied without a shred of compunction to agents investigating an act of treason. I wonder if Republicans (and Joe Lieberman) will show as much outrage about this a...

Again, after a day of nothing, another day barely worth the trouble. However, trouble means nothing to Green Eagle, whose efforts never flag, despite the obvious massive decrease in detectable brain activity among conservatives (who would have thought that was even possible?) Well, here goes: Sandy Rios, Town Hall: "Marriage in Maine: Why We’d Better Fight" Because we need to hate someone, and there aren't enough black people in Maine? David Limbaugh, Town Hall: "The Public Option Is Not an Option" Right you are, David. You're getting it, like it or not. And no matter how much you get paid to try to stop it. No matter what you did, you just couldn't convince people that grave illness is more fun when you combine it with bankruptcy. Freedom Works: "Dems. are their own worst enemy" You guys used to be our worst enemy, until you all went kablooie. Now all we have to worry about is Max Baucus and Joe Lieberman. And as disgusting as they ar...

Here's a chart of a Pew Research poll of opinions about news networks: All I can say is, this country is in a hell of a lot of trouble when 14% of the people think Fox News is too liberal. What kind of crazy morons are they, and how much damage are they going to do before they go back to sleep in their teapots?

The News Today: "NEW YORK – Stocks logged their best day in three months as investors rushed into the market on word the economy grew faster than expected during the summer. The Commerce Department's report that gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 3.5 percent in the third quarter reinvigorated investors..." I.e. the recession is over. Barack Obama and the Democrats made the tough decisions, and brought the economy back from the near-death state created by conservative economic cant. Think anyone on the other side of the aisle will give Obama one shred of credit for this feat? Republicans create disasters, and Democrats fix them. That's how it has been since Teddy Roosevelt had the sense to quit the Republican party. The endless catastrophic consequences of their actions seem to never teach them that their joint policies of belligerence abroad and pandering to the rich at home are not such a good idea. At least, until Republicans manage to wreck things a...
