Moon of Alabama Brecht quote

Imagine the Reaction to This

The Speaker of The House of Representatives of the United States of America live on FOX News:

HASTERT: You know, I don’t know where Rupert Murdoch gets his money. I don’t know where – if it comes overseas or from child porn groups or where it comes from. And I…

WALLACE: Excuse me?

HASTERT: Well, that’s what he’s been for a number years – Rupert Murdoch has been for legalizing porn in this country. So, I mean, he’s got a lot of ancillary interests out there.

WALLACE: You think he may be getting money from porn facilitators?

HASTERT: I’m saying I don’t know where groups – could be people who support this type of thing. I’m saying we don’t know. The fact is we don’t know where this money comes from.

I’ve seen scum on the surface and at the bottom of a pond. Scum is so pervasive and dense on the surface of Amerika today it must surely be sinking out of sight soon. Wishful thinking? I hope not.

Juannie,
There is no outrage anymore. This stuff is just accepted and lowers the bar for the next round.
I guess we just have hit bottom before we can try to sort this out.

@Juannie:
Ah, Juannie,
Nice to see you once again.
Thought you might have died from carpal tunnel syndrome, or something:
All those vicious, repetitive keyboard strokes must be mighty wearing on the hands and wrists.
All done from a dark “secure location” too.
How Cheneyesque.
Actually, I was somewhat amused by it all.
No hard feelings.

Why is Hastert using LaRouche talking points?

The reason Hastert has to use other peoples talking points is because he is a moron. This guy is as bad or worse than Bushie when it comes to brains.
He is merely a figurehead for Tom Delay. This man has not had an original thought in his life. His new book is nothing more than regurgitated right wing bullshit.
I hope Soros sues his ass for defamation of character and sends him back to Illinous where he can coach wrestling again. Come on, a wrestling coach as speaker. That says it all. All him and Bushie can do is shovel dirt.
Speaking of dirt, I had saw some light for kerry earlier, but right now I think he is running a enept campaign. If this shit keeps up, his only saving grace will be the debates. if he Fs up there he’s toast. It just isn’t the country thats shifting, the media whores are giving Bushie a free ride.

@jdp
Kerry should be quiet for the moment. No Panic.
October…………….. hope the surprise is not a suitcase nuke.

The suprise is already coming out. The Justice Department report that the Admin targeted groups unfairly, and the fact that the Pentagon spy probe is going beyond Franklin and into Wolfie, Feith, Perle etc.
These guys are passing on state secrets and technology to Israel and Israel for years has benn selling it to China and Russia. It sure wasn’t Clinton that was the only one passing arms technology.
But, as always, the press is giving this back page coverage.

Looks like I’ve caught a troll from the deep dark pond bottom of anonyms handles.
All done from a dark “secure location” too.
Hey get it together Mr/Mrs Walesing. You can contact me directly from my posted name and if you do I’ll send you my physical address so we can discuss this face to face. No threat, I just want to see who’s mind and heart are where.
Now if you so decline then please explain to me what your above referenced quote means.

Actually, if someone really made that charge about Murdoch, I wouldn’t dismiss it.

Why Juannie Ringgold:
Why are you so high strung tonight?
Josey, a while back, offered to buy you a drink.
That’s all.
Glad you caught a fish or something.
Maybe it will improve your SPIRIT somewhat.
