LOLOL....Raines on Crack. An ugly sight.
SOUR GRAPES?
Our chief disaster is Iraq! Iraq and Katrina! Oh! Our two chief disasters are Iraq and Katrina! And corporate influence over tax decisions! Drat! Amongst our disasters are just disparate elements as: Iraq, katrina, corporate influence over tax decisions, corporate influence over budget decisions, and ... I can't do it! Cardinal Fang, you'll have to say it!

the Bushes through alliance with the smarter Walker clan, built up a fortune based on classic robber-baron foundations: railways, steel, oil, investment banking, armaments and materiel in the world wars.
As opposed to the far more honest and forthright Kennedy method of violating the law by bootlegging.
You are invited to cordially GFY.
Sauropod
I glanced long enough to note a comparison between the Kennedys and the Bushs.
Big problem, Bush=real, Kennedy=media creation
"...these miscreant patricians... He must be referring to the Kennedys...
Howell Raines really needs to lay off the old laxative - it is not working, and he is in danger of overflowing - and pick a new one.
Old liberals are the new banshees of the 21st century. And the death their cries foretell of is that of the Democratic Party.
What a moron. Par for the MSM course.
Nuff' said.
I stopped reading right there ........
As a stupid Republican can someone explain this to me?
I hope these self appointed intellectuals continue in their closed,pitiful,petty little worlds because the stunned look of rage you will see after the '06 elections will be priceless.
It's crystal clear that Mr. Raines' outlook on President Bush's legacy is quite different from mine. Definitely not a surprise.
Didn't read the rest of the article beyond that first comment. I want to stay in a good mood.
God forbid President Bush has "convictions" and believes in Jesus! The horror! The horror!
Howell Raines is a hate-filled antichrist.
If the Bush's wanted money I think they would have a whole lot more of it ...how much does Mr Raines have anyway?
AN OPEN LETTER TO: Howell Raines, Head News Cook and Chief Weenie-Washer for The Old Gray Lady. The Eldest Whore in the Eastern Stables of the Free and Independent, Impartial and Non-Politically Driven Fourth Estate.
You fall into that category of entities like the late Bella Abzug and others who I've come to describe as those persons "who, by the mere fact of their very existence are superfluous". I'll grant you that may seem harsh, albeit true, but we can all just feel the seething, oozing animose and personal venom you, a fraud of a 'newspaperman', project? You are about as fair and impartial a commentator on the passing political parade as was Attila the Hun a spokesperson for 'tolerance'! Your hateful opinions run such an extensive gamut that you have defined yourself, by that manner, as yet another AMERICA hater. It's been a long day Hal..baby, so let's get to one of about 19 issues you've negatively impacted as you sought to define yourself. Oh, but first...just the briefest of constructive suggestion on your behalf and to show my heart is, indeed, in the right place. A psychiatrist friend of mine read your piece in the paper and suggested to me that what you may well need is a piece in the sack (if you get my meaning) as sexual frustration can be a rather destructive thing. Just ask Maureen Dowd. Now there's a thought. Mutually beneficial therapy and nobody has to bear witness to you guys making fools of yourselves in public. Don't get annoyed now. Hell! It beats trying to satisfy yourself on your own and them having to clean up the mess afterwards, no?
Now you've gone and done it Hal. You caused me to break my concentration, but fear not as I have a good memory and will return to make my point-by-point case against you soon. Right now I have more important things to do as my butt needs scratching and I've got some earwax to clear out. Please check back from time to time for updates. Later guy...... Oops, I almost forgot. Ex-nay on the political asturbation-may. Definitely not a healthy form of intercourse. (Sorry Hal. Poor choice of word there)
Most Sincerely, Your devoted pal, 'Doc'
If Raines actually wrote this screed, it proves once and for all what an incredible nutjob he was and how fortunate the Slimes was in getting rid of him when they did.
All that aside, the Bush Dynasty seems to confirm the American dream of success unlike the inherited success of say a John Kerry or Ted Kennedy. President Bush is accused of, blamed for, and decidedly in charge of all matter of things that take one heck of a thinker or a real rocket scientist – and never given credit for being so brilliant. Further more, George Bush is an American who speaks like an American, thinks like an American and pursues the American life and agenda of redneck America — and this BOOB, Ranies, also thinks that having religion is frightening? He should look up the meaning of noblesse oblige before he uses it as President Bush practices it in his job and in his faith, something few do, certainly not the Kennedy’s nor the Kerry’s. The left has yet to figure out why this President got more popular votes than any president before him. Just put it down to dumb, dumb and dumber arrogant liberals who think they are our betters. Redneck Americans are Americans who take responsibility very seriously; they are a crafty lot full of humor and know how. I love being one of them; the redneck or a cowboy hand shake is their bond and their Pride in just being an American is unsurpassed.
Howell Raines gives new meaning to Useful Idiot!
MERRY CHRISTMAS YA’LL………………….
This screed is paranoid and pathetic. Raines is just another Michael Moore without the eating disorder.
