Good Morning!

Yup, it's us republicans that are mean and nasty...

December 9, 2003 -- Antiwar comedians raising campaign cash for Democrat Howard Dean last night blasted President Bush as a "piece of living, breathing s - - -"at an angry X-rated fund-raiser in New York.
"We have to get this piece of living, breathing s - - - out of the office," said comedian Judy Gold whose performance - like those of Janeane Garofalo and David Cross - was liberally larded with the F-word.

Aides said that Dean didn't authorize the X-rated attacks and that the Democratic front-runner found them so "offensive," he almost refused to come out and speak at the fund-raiser, one of eight New York events that raised close to $2 million yesterday.

The X-rated fund-raiser came just days after Democratic rival John Kerry used the F-word to attack Bush in Rolling Stone magazine.

Garofalo last night described the Medicare prescription-drug bill that Bush signed yesterday as the " 'you can go-f- - - yourself, Grandma' bill."

Gold ridiculed Democrat Joseph Lieberman for being unable to campaign on Jewish holidays.

Comedian Kate Lloyd pointed to Michael Jackson, now facing new child sex charges, and said, "Frankly, I'm far more frightened of Condoleezza Rice" - Bush's national security adviser - and referred to Cheney's wife, Lynne, as "Lon Chaney," a star of horror flicks.

When Dean came out after the comics, he made a vague reference to "some language that was used - I think it's wrong."

Now if a republican 'comic' had used this sort of vernacular, let alone the n-word would it be all over every news report or am I being cynical?

No, you are correct. There would be a public lynching, that's for sure. Did they censure Byrd? Did they censure Kennedy? Did they censure the Beaste?

Sheeeee's running!!

Hillary Aides in Dean-bashing Blitz

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton has launched a behind-the-scenes campaign to pressure fellow Democrats not to support presidential front-runner Howard Dean – a move some say raises new questions about her own intentions in 2004.
Aides to Sen. Clinton have begun contacting party movers and shakers in a bid to discredit Dean and dispel the notion that the Vermont Democrat has the nomination sewn up.
"Hillary Clinton's people – and I know, I get these calls all the time – call and bash on Dean," Democratic strategist Bob Beckel told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" late Wednesday. Beckel managed Walter Mondale's unsuccessful 1984 presidential bid.

Nasty Bob. He seems to be right in there with the politics of personal destruction.
