"I can't wait until all you ethnic puritan-maniacs are retired, voted out, or six feet under."<BR/><BR/>Even some prominent Republicans are expressing disquiet.<BR/><BR/>An online commentator for the National Review magazine, a pillar of US conservatism, attacked Saltsman, saying: "The use of the term 'Negro' in the song rubs me the wrong way."<BR/><BR/>Newt Gingrich, a former Republican speaker in the House of Representatives, told the New York Times that the song was "inappropriate" and said the flap should disqualify Saltsman from consideration as party head.<BR/><BR/>Republicans are struggling to recover from their crushing defeat by the Democrats in the November presidential and congressional races -- in part because of low support from ethnic minorities.<BR/><BR/>The wording of the song, particularly the now rare use of the word "negro," touched on the ultra-sensitive topic of race, an area where Republicans have often been painted as being behind the times.<BR/><BR/>Adding to the embarrassment, it has emerged that another candidate for the Republican National Committee chairmanship, Katon Dawson, recently resigned from a country club that allows only white members.<BR/><BR/>Saltsman was quoted by the Hill newspaper as saying he meant to be "light-hearted."<BR/><BR/>"Republicans who care about public relations also might want to think twice about electing someone who is either (1) out of touch with general societal mores, (2) lacks the ability to self-censor or self-edit, (3) simply doesn't care what people think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-7902247170074993652008-12-31T10:21:00.000-08:002008-12-31T10:21:00.000-08:00O Cleanses System, Flushes Neo-Cons:Obama dismisse...O Cleanses System, Flushes Neo-Cons:<BR/><BR/>Obama dismisses Bush Pentagon appointees <BR/>By Sam Youngman <BR/>Posted: 12/30/08<BR/> <BR/>Despite keeping Defense Secretary Robert Gates in the Pentagon, President-elect Obama’s transition team informed 90 Bush appointees their services will not be needed after Inauguration Day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-30667808803416395192008-12-30T18:38:00.000-08:002008-12-30T18:38:00.000-08:00In a wild press conference where Gov.

Virtually every district Republicans have lost over the past 20 years shows Latino suburban and middle class growth.<BR/><BR/>The only bright spot for the state GOP in 2008 was the success of Proposition 8, the anti-gay marriage amendment. They are quick to bask in the glory, but you won’t hear them claiming credit. They were not major players in fundraising or the campaign. It wasn’t that they weren’t eager to join in all the gay-hatin’ fun. (Not hardly.) They couldn’t participate because they are broke. <BR/><BR/>Anti-gay ballot measures have been highly effective at getting out the Republican vote in most states — the tactic may have helped George Bush win reelection in Ohio in 2004. But Prop 8 had no coattails in California. It didn’t help John McCain, and California Republicans even lost ground in Sacramento, where Democrats added one seat in the Senate and two in the Assembly to their majorities.<BR/><BR/>Despite the fact that the most expensive anti-gay campaign ever — $40 million — could not turn out their voters, California Republicans are doubtless summoning up all the Reaganesque optimism they can muster. <BR/><BR/>Says Quinn, the party’s members are literally dying off. “At 31.3 percent of registered voters,” he writes, “California Republicans are at the lowest point in the history of the state.

We're about to find out.<BR/><BR/>Chip Saltsman, a candidate for chairman of the Republican National Committee, sent a compact disc to committee members over the holidays. It includes a tune titled "Barack the Magic Negro," which first aired on Rush Limbaugh's radio show in 2007.<BR/><BR/>The song is a parody of "Puff the Magic Dragon" by conservative satirist Paul Shanklin, who does it in an impersonation of Rev. Al Sharpton. A sampling of the lyrics: "Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C. . . . he makes guilty whites feel good. They'll vote for him, and not for me, 'cause he's not from the hood."<BR/><BR/>Saltsman, a veteran political operative who managed Mike Huckabee's presidential campaign, told a Capitol Hill newspaper that the song is just a lighthearted parody, a little joke. RNC Chairman Mike Duncan said he was "appalled" by the song, but some of Saltsman's competitors for Duncan's job have defended it.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Republicans have been rejected by American voters in the last two national elections. They've lost the House, the Senate and the White House. They have just about given up on the African-American vote. More Hispanics turned away from them this year.<BR/><BR/>Yet some of the people who want to run the national Republican Party think that a song mocking the race of the next president is all good, clean fun.<BR/><BR/>There's going to be a little more interest now in who wins the race for chairman of the Republican National Committee. If it's Saltsman and company, the party is going to be in the wilderness for a long time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-20323716751401489622008-12-30T17:04:00.000-08:002008-12-30T17:04:00.000-08:00Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there wa...Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there was the beautiful Princess Caroline who was part of one of the oldest royal families in the country -- a family that built its fortune on Hollywood investments and possibly bootlegging, and was plagued with tragedy and scandal -- but whose over-glorified name still held many in its hypnotic thrall. Yet Princess Caroline, despite her royal pedigree and family tradition of publicly serving themselves -- er, tradition of public service -- chose to live her life quietly, eschewing publicity. Despite earning a law degree, she stayed at home to raise her children, occasionally raising money for charitable causes and publishing a few books that sold more on name recognition than their literary quality.<BR/><BR/>Then one day, a hopeful heir to the throne of this modern-day Camelot came to Princess Caroline and asked for her help in pulling the sword out of the stone so that he could rule the land and bring everlasting hope and happiness to the serfs who were barely scratching a miserable living under the outgoing king's wretched rule. All she had to do was to help him find his ceremonial stand-in (sometimes known as a whipping boy). Princess Caroline agreed, and she not only found a whipping boy whose oral blunders were sure to take the media spotlight off anything foolish The OneTM might utter, but she found a new purpose in life -- the desire to serve the public in the same way her other family members had.<BR/><BR/>And just like a fairy tale, Princess Caroline suddenly found herself in a position to be named to a plum position within the new king's court, a cushy seat her uncle once held. She said that her status as a mother and an advocate of public schools (even though her children went to exclusive private schools) constituted plenty of experience to do the difficult job of creating legislation and overseeing the purse strings of the treasury. Many of her similarly privileged friends agreed, saying that if people would only "get to know her" that they too would agree that she was ready for the job on day one.<BR/><BR/>To the untrained eye it seemed as though Princess Caroline was suddenly infected by a sense of power in her success in helping to create a new political dynasty, but the truth is she did it because of her humble desire to serve. In her own words: "Going into politics is something people have asked me about forever. When this opportunity came along, which was sort of unexpected, I thought, `Well, maybe now. How about now?'" What is truly amazing is that she said this not while nibbling caviar and sipping champagne, but while eating a grilled cheese and bacon sandwich, washing it down with coffee. Truly, a woman of the people.<BR/><BR/>And, showing she had twice the political acumen and intellectual powers of another woman of much lesser pedigree -- some would say member of the peasant class - who recently tried to use her experience as a city councilwoman, mayor, chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation commission and Alaska governor to crash the gates carefully guarded by the political elite, Princess Caroline said (in response to a question about her seeking even higher office), "Now, well, can we just, you know, get through this, like, you know, right here now? I mean, you know."<BR/><BR/>Yet despite the obvious, some dared to doubt Princess Caroline's readiness for the job. There was speculation that by selecting her above all others, Gov. Paterson was counting on political payback in the form of fundraising and gaining an audience with King Obama -- and cruel whisperings that she really was just a "limousine liberal," a "carpetbagger," and a "middle-aged dilettante" who wanted to try something new -- and politics would do nicely. Poor Princess Caroline. How could anyone doubt her sincerity? Her integrity? Her ability to serve? She began to get agitated. When asked when she first realized she wanted the position within King Obama's court, Princess Caroline had this witty retort: "Have you guys ever thought about writing for, like, a woman's magazine or something? I thought you were the crack political team." Those reporters, by the way, are still smarting from that stinging rebuttal. Some have even sought psychiatric help.<BR/><BR/>So what happened to Princess Caroline? Did she manage to get past the dragons and find her rightful place at the Round Table in Camelot? Alas, this fairy tale has yet to have its ending written. Perhaps the New Year will bring all of Princess Caroline's dreams out of the shadows and into reality.<BR/><BR/>And for those of you out there who doubt the existence of fairy tale endings? Break time is over. It's time to stop reading this and getting back to digging potatoesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-30372134947201435162008-12-30T16:57:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:57:00.000-08:00Rod Blagojevich's choice to fill Barack Obama's Se...<I><BR/><BR/>Rod Blagojevich's choice to fill Barack Obama's Senate seat, Roland Burris, helped raise money for the governor on multiple occasions.<BR/><BR/>Blagojevich's choice is already being met with a steep wave of skepticism, because the embattled Illinois Governor was caught by the feds allegedly trying to auction off the seat to the highest bidder. Burris' ties to Blagojevich, despite his recent criticisms of the governor, seem destined to tarnish his appointment even further.<BR/><BR/>The former Illinois Attorney General gave $4,500 to Blagojevich's campaign fund in the form of personal donations and donations from -- what appear to be -- him and his wife, according to Illinois State records. The most recent donation came on June 27, 2008, when the governor was knee-deep in charges of ethical misconduct.<BR/><BR/>Burris also attended high-end Blagojevich fundraisers on at least three separate occasions, according to a review of newspaper filings by the Huffington Post. Most recently, in July 2008, he was in a crowd of 1,000 at the Chicago's River East Art Center when Blagojevich -- beset by ethics scandals -- hosted one of six events to raise money for his campaign fund (which had suffered because of mounting legal bills).<BR/><BR/>In April 2006, Burris hosted a 3,000 person event in the main hall of Chicago's Field Museum. That event saw Blagojevich soliciting donations of $1,000 for "sponsors" $2,500 for "patrons," $5,000 for "benefactors" and $10,000 for "co-chairs," according to the invitation.<BR/><BR/>In July 2005, Burris was one of more than 1,000 people who attended Blagojevich's annual political fund-raiser. That year, the governor -- who had defeated Burris in the gubernatorial primary just three years earlier -- raised a reported $4 million.<BR/><BR/>That Burris showed up at these events and donated to the governor's campaign would not, under normal circumstances, be remarkable. Neither is the extent of his own donations, which are relatively paltry by Illinois standards. After all, Democrats help fellow Democrats. But Blagojevich was mired in ethics complaints at the time of the latter fundraisers. Moreover, the governor stands accused of attempting to sell the Illinois Senate seat in a pay-for-play scheme. To achieve complete legitimacy, anyone appointed to take Obama's seat will need to have offered no financial help whatsoever to the governor.<BR/><BR/>Burris, as noted, has been a recent critic of Blagojevich, calling on the governor to relinquish his post in light of his recent arrest. But he wasn't always that much of a thorn in his side. In March 2006, as the Chicago Sun-Times was reporting on growing criticism of the governor's political tactics, the former A.G. was quoted as saying:<BR/><BR/>"I can't see how anyone can say he is not governing," Burris said. "I think he is doing a helluva job."</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-5833694536347445672008-12-30T16:53:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:53:00.000-08:00As a Democrat, I oppose the Kennedy coronation.

A Republican-led filibuster blocked the auto industry bailout in the Senate, but Bush decided to use some of the previously approved $700 billion to grant loans to the car companies. <BR/><BR/>During the campaign, accusations that Obama was a closet socialist proliferated on talk radio, conservative blogs and in McCain/Palin campaign speeches.<BR/><BR/>hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hep me; hep me!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-26358507677820710332008-12-30T16:45:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:45:00.000-08:00Democrats, ya know, are like the, ya know, future,...Democrats, <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W85XJADEHxU" REL="nofollow">ya know</A>, are like the, ya know, future, ya know, of America!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938318.post-65969862636250812762008-12-30T16:18:00.000-08:002008-12-30T16:18:00.000-08:00Bush Legacy: Investors are preparing to close out ...Bush Legacy: Investors are preparing to close out the last three trading days of 2008 with Wall Street's worst performance since Herbert Hoover was president.century America."<BR/><BR/>What went wrong: Vanity Fair runs a must-read oral history of the Bush administration in which two key advisers say that it was Hurricane Katrina that ultimately broke the back of George W.

Whether it is Willie Horton, or welfare queens and tax and spend, or the way they have dealt with immigration... they don't have a play in their playbook that doesn't start with the exploitation of racial divisions...
