If we find out that you know plans for a terror act, we'll make it cold...Gitmo
If you won't talk, well, on Saturday night you'll get no Cuervo Gold...Gitmo

For your enjoyment.
That was great!!
It was your earlier post of the DUmmie thread on Dick Durbin that inspired me to post my next column a week early. They were cheering Dickie Durbin on at the very time that more and more people in the real world were condemning Dickie in no uncertain terms.
So, I thought it foolish not to pull the literary trigger. See below for the result:

Good evening, CB. I'll be glad to check it out.
Very nice!
All DUmmie love darkness and hate the light. They are evil and they produce evil.
Forgive my not going LOL and being really chatty right now.
I'm rather preoccupied with the extra work needed to help issue pink slips to a bunch of overt and covert Leftist Senators at the next elections, as well as help hire and pay for a bunch of new Conservative ones.... busy planning a ROUT of the Democrats every election, forevermore!
(good work, Doug)
Oh no, you've got to go downtown, George. It's all downtown.
GEORGE: Yeah.
JERRY: You sure he didn't just mention it because you happened to be Going downtown?
GEORGE: I think he was trying to tell me something, like it had some sort of a meaning.
JERRY: Okay, so how does it go?
GEORGE: 'When you're alone, and life is making you lonely, you can always go...'
JERRY: '... downtown.'
Thank's for the ping. Funny episode:)
Bumpity, bump.
LOL! Love it! And have you been to payroll yet?
to the tune of Dead Kennedys "Holiday in Cambodia"
So you've killed for Allah for some years now
and you know you've seen it all...
Support from libs like Dick Durban,
Mike Moore, and Ted Rall
The AC's high and you're in bare feet
But you get three squares a day
They let you point toward Mecca and
don't mind it when you pray
Now it is time to complain and moan
Things over here just aren't like at home
What you need, is libs who "care"
'bout how you're treated while you're there...
It's a holiday in Guantanamo
It's tough dear but it's life
Holiday in Guantanamo
Don't forget to pack a wife
Dittoes to that! Thanks for the ping :)
Lyrics are spot on, however this rendition of Downtown does little to enhance your fine lyrics.
PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE REVIEW
The Dick Durbin affair: Comforting the enemy
Sunday, June 19, 2005
It all started when the Clarabelle Hornblows at Amnesty International compared the al-Qaida-holding Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba to the gulags of Josef Stalin's Russia.
At least one high-ranking AI official -- former Pittsburgher William Schulz -- later was forced to admit there was no such evidence to make the claim. But that hasn't stopped Democrats from making the lie chief among their talking points.
The latest to do so is Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois. The Senate's No. 2 Democrat took to the floor last week to repeat unsubstantiated allegations of prisoner abuses made in what he said was an e-mail from an anonymous FBI agent.
Mr. Durbin offered an even more incendiary comparison, saying "you would most certainly believe this must have been done by the Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime -- Pol Pot or others -- that had no concern for human beings."
In short order, video of Durbin's comments was running on the Arab-language propaganda network Al Jazeera. As recklessness and stupidity collided, an irony was born: Durbin is part of the crowd that wants Gitmo closed because of its propaganda value to the enemy.
Durbin refuses to apologize. And like his mealy-mouthed comrades -- DNC boss Howard Dean and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid -- he blames the "right-wing media" for reporting his remarks.
But Dick Durbin alone is responsible for his words. And should the blood of Americans abroad be shed because of his grandstanding fatuity, he must be held accountable.

Dustbin Durbin
By Frank J. Gaffney Jr.
Published June 21, 2005
When a United States Senator says something deeply offensive, there are usually but two immediate recourses: Either he or she voluntarily apologizes, or colleagues formally censure the senator.
If the senator happens, however, to be a member of the leadership -- as was the case with then-Majority Leader Trent Lott in December 2002 -- another option is available: The humiliating loss of power resulting from the forced removal from that high office. Such a remedy clearly seems appropriate in the case of the Senate's unapologetic and as-yet-uncensored Minority Whip, Dick Durbin, Illinois Democrat.
By now, Mr. Durbin's offense is well-known. In remarks on the Senate floor last Wednesday, he equated American servicemen and -women engaged in the difficult and dangerous incarceration of unlawful combatants in the Guantanamo Bay prison with the perpetrators of the Nazi holocaust, Soviet gulag and Khmer Rouge killing fields in Cambodia.
The question is: Does this rise to a firing offense equivalent that which prompted Mr. Lott to be driven from power?
Surely, by any objective measure the answer must be "Yes."
Mr. Lott lost his leadership post after effusively praising a retiring colleague, the now-deceased Sen. Strom Thurmond. His remarks were widely interpreted to suggest Mr. Lott thought America would have been better off if the racist views held by the South Carolinian senator when he ran for president in 1948 had prevailed. They were, understandably, deeply offensive to black Americans and all others who regard segregation as a terrible stain on this nation's history.
Mr. Lott's failure to apologize promptly and persuasively for such comments fed a firestorm of criticism that led shortly to his colleagues demanding his resignation as majority leader. That pressure came from Republicans as well as Democrats.
The statement Mr. Durbin made last week gave at least as much offense to victims of past systematic and violent wrongdoing -- to Jews and others who lost some 6 million loved ones to Adolf Hitler's gas chambers and death camps, to those whose kith and kin were among the 20 million or so exterminated by Soviet communism and to those subjected to Pol Pot's murderous terror. It demeans their sacrifice to suggest anything that has happened to date at Gitmo -- where not a single detainee has died -- remotely compares to what happened every day under the odious regimes Mr. Durbin cited.
Also offended should be everyone worried about the growing ignorance of many Americans about history. How can we be critical of students who have no idea what the Revolutionary War was about, who Abraham Lincoln was or just about anything else predating the Michael Jackson trial if one of the most prominent and powerful of American legislators is so ridiculously ignorant of historical facts? Surely, Mr. Durbin would get a failing grade on his SATs.
Mr. Durbin's most grievous offense, of course, was his defamation of American troops who protect us from terrorist operatives, trainers, recruiters, bomb-makers and financiers confined at Guantanamo. He has not only derided their service. He has legitimated our enemies' efforts to wage war against us by suggesting the government whose orders they follow is literally -- as well as morally -- equivalent to the most repressive regimes the world has ever known.
Ironically, Mr. Durbin's remarks can be expected to embolden the Islamofascists who seek, as in Iran, to subject ever more people to their brutal application of Shari'a law -- a system of government that has much more in common with history's most odious totalitarian regimes than the latter do with American conduct at Guantanamo or anyplace else.
Such repercussions should be as unacceptable to Democrats in and outside the Senate as they are to other Americans. Speaking of history, it clearly suggests that, if the Democratic Party is ever again to be entrusted with power, its leaders must be seen as trustworthy stewards of the national security.
Consequently, it is no longer enough that Mr. Durbin provide a more heartfelt and convincing apology for his comments about Guantanamo Bay. In failing to do so thus far (by Friday, he had only issued a statement regretting others were misinterpreting his historical references), he has compounded the original offense and obliged his colleagues to take corrective action.
For the Democratic Party once again to be seen as a reliable advocate for American power -- a role performed by such past leaders as Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson, it must convincingly and completely disassociate itself from Mr. Durbin. The only way that can be achieved is by stripping him of his leadership responsibilities.
As with the vote on John Bolton's nomination, the decision about removing Dick Durbin as minority whip is an early test of Sen. Hillary Clinton's purported "centrist" credentials. If she hopes to persuade voters across America she has the stuff to lead this country, she must demonstrate she is prepared to lead her party in more responsible directions in the Senate.
