THERE SHE GOES AGAIN-- THE OLD KENTUCKY HOMO ONLY KNOWS HOW TO DO ONE THING: OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT, OBSTRUCT

No matter that most of his constituents want him to help stop Bush's escalation and work towards getting the U.S. out of Iraq, Mitch McConnell only takes his marching orders from Cheney. and Cheney wants more war. So Mitch, his bitch, wants more war too. Yesterday he hissed at Democrats that their "effort to repeal the 2002 Iraq war resolution would meet the same fate as two previous efforts to limit President Bush's authority: blocked by procedural obstacles, unless Democrats relent to GOP terms."

The Democrats want to "replace the broad authority that Congress granted Bush in October 2002 with a narrower mandate establishing a March 31, 2008, goal for withdrawing combat troops. It also would restrict longer-term engagement in Iraq to a handful of high-priority realms, including counterterrorism, training for Iraqi troops and border security." Apparently Tony Snow spent the day with John Boehner in his tanning booth and the Bush Regime used another flack to come up with a pack of nonsense for the press-- like Bush can't withdraw from Iraq because of the UN.

I'm not that worried about the prowess of the intuitively devious McConnell-- a practiced liar from his years and years of living as a closet case/homophobe-- but I am worried about the ineptness of the Democratic team working on this: proven incompetents like Biden, Levin and Reid. If they couldn't even get a vote on a nonbinding resolution written by Republicans and supported by half a dozen of them, how are they going to get this through when there are probably no Republicans who will support it and probably a Democrat or two who will balk?

Meanwhile, when he isn't picking fights with the Speaker of the House, a very clearly delusional Cheney is insisting that Iraq is a gigantic series of success stories. The man is demented and is leading this country over a cliff. Between delusional and out of touch, untreated psychotics like Cheney and Bush and an array of bizarre closeted Republicans (like McConnell, Mehlman and McCrery) running the GOP-- and afraid of being exposed and thrown to the yahoos on the religionist right-- our government is in deep doo-doo.


UPDATE: OH, AND SPEAKING OF GOP CLOSET CASES... HERE'S ONE WHO REALLY TAKES THE CAKE

I have no way of knowing if McConnell was ever intimate with right wing lunatic Rev. Lonnie W. Latham but they both have a lot in common. Both are pathological liars, spewing hatred towards gay people while seducing other males and pretending to be heterosexual. McConnell and Latham are both mentally ill. Latham, like Republican Congressman Tom Foley, has been apprehended and exposed. McConnell is still hiding in his closet, still refering to his so-called "wife," also a Bush Regime operative, as his roommate.

A former Baptist church leader and GOP agent, Latham was a noisy anti-gay maniac at a time when he was hiring male prostitutes. He has now resigned as pastor of the South Tulsa Baptist Church and from the executive committee of the Southern Baptist Convention. He "had supported a resolution calling on gays and lesbians to reject their 'sinful, destructive lifestyle' before his Jan. 3, 2006, arrest outside the Habana Inn in Oklahoma City." You ever notice that the louder these right-wingers scream about gays, the more likely they are to be diddling around with young boys? When Latham was arrested he was offering an undercover policeman a blowjob.

"His attorney, Mack Martin, filed a motion to have the misdemeanor lewdness charge thrown out, saying the Supreme Court ruled in the 2003 decision Lawrence v. Texas that it was not illegal for consenting adults to engage in private homosexual acts. 'Now, my client's being prosecuted basically for having offered to engage in such an act, which basically makes it a crime to ask someone to do something that's legal,' Martin said." Be honest now; have you ever met a right winger whose basic essence was something other than hypocrisy?
