They Love him in Albania, Bush Watch Stolen Off His Own Wrist.
Tommy Chong was invited on MSNBC to talk about his take on the whole Paris Hilton ordeal, seems the talking head host didn’t dig what he had to say, and quickly cut him off after his answers. Stephen Colbert laughed so hard about it he had Tommy on his show to discuss it.
You have to stop what you are doing right now and watch the videos.

Excerpt
Former White House counsel Harriet Miers and former top Karl Rove aide Sara Taylor, who served as White House political director before resigning last month, have been issued subpoenas over their connections to the U.S. attorney scandal.
UPDATE: These are the first subpoenas delivered to the White House regarding the attorney firings. The House Judiciary Committee issued the subpoena to Miers, and the Senate Judiciary Committee issued the subpoena to Taylor. Emails showing Taylor and Miers deeply involved in the Justice Department’s response to the scandal were released last night.
UPDATE II: The AP reports, “The Senate Judiciary Committee’s subpoena for Taylor compels her to testify on July 11, while the House Judiciary Committee’s subpoena for Miers compels her testimony the next day.”
UPDATE III: CNN’s legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin reports, “The White House has made clear it will cite executive privilege for conversations that took place within the White House on the U.S. attorney matter, and if the people with those conversations happen to have subsequently left the White House, that doesn’t matter. They’re still going to cite executive privilege, and these people are not going to be allowed to testify anytime soon, it appears, if the White House remains as it has been. … Even if they want to testify.”

Raw Story:
Tony Snow is the biggest (and worst) liar in the world. How does he do that with a straight face? You gotta see this.
Excerpt:Snow said of Bush to CBS’s Harry Smith, “He goes to the G8, leads the way on climate change,” Smith broke in to object: “I think that’s following on climate change. … These other countries have set the table for this for years. The president is late to this table.”
“I hate to tell you,” replied Snow. “No Harry, you can’t have your own facts. We’ve got a better record than the rest of the world
Now you know why they love him so much over there. Check out this video. Hilarious

The Virginia netroots is partying hard today, as their top 2007 project — ousting State Senator Benjamin Lambert — was succcessfully completed last night.
Trial lawyer A. Donald McEachin upset 30-year veteran state Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III yesterday in a Democratic primary in the Richmond area.
Lambert was supposedly a Democrat, yet he shocked the Virginia political establishment last October with this:
A senior Democratic state lawmaker endorsed Republican Sen. George Allen’s bid for reelection Tuesday, after having earlier criticized Democrat James Webb’s position on affirmative action.
State Sen. Benjamin J. Lambert III (Richmond), who is black, praised Allen in a letter on his senate stationery released yesterday by the Allen campaign.
HLs Take
Another Republican in Dem Clothing bites the dust, as it should be. There will be a lot of that going on in the near future, Republicans, and republicans pretending to be Democrats will be joing the ranks of the unemployed. Lambert, who is black was a supporter of Allen, a Republican, despite the Macacca comments. What a total whore.

The Fred Thompson lint roller has picked up even more Bush-Cheney insiders, including Cheney’s non-lesbian daughter and Middle East f**ker-upper Liz Cheney. Joel Shin — “a top policy staffer on George W. Bush’s presidential campaign in 2000†— and Bill Frist foreign-affairs guy Mark Esper have also joined the not-quite-official Thompson campaign.
With a whole bunch of Bush-Cheney criminals and idiots already aboard, Fred Thompson is all set to be Dick Cheney’s next president. Two grumpy old baldheaded fascists for the price of one!
HL’s Take
It’s starting to look a little like the primaries won’t even matter next year. Hilary is out in front, according to the polls, and now it’s starting to look like this Fred Thompson guy will be the Republican nominee. If he’s got Cheney behind him, the most powerful man in the world, how can he lose. As I said before they want this guy to be the next Reagan, just sit back and make speeches and let them do all the killing stealing and dirty work, one problem though Reagan actually had a little charisma, people couldn’t help but like him (don’t ask me why) This Thompson guy is just a slug though. Guess that doesn’t matter when you can fix elections, and if necessary have the Supreme Court illegally declare the President if need be. At first the Republicans thought they could get Arnold schwarzenegger as the next Reagan, but it turned out the guy actually has a brain, and they can’t have that. So Fred Thompson it is. Didn’t this guy recently have a heart attack? Wonder who is running mate will be?

It is no secret that the U.S. military has used the ocean as trashcan for munitions in the past. Peter discussed at the Old DSN how federal lawmakers were pressing the US Army to reveal everything it knows about a massive international program to dump chemical weapons off homeland and foreign shores. “The Army now admits that it secretly dumped 64 million pounds of nerve and mustard agents into the sea, along with 400,000 chemical-filled bombs, land mines and rockets and more than 500 tons of radioactive waste – either tossed overboard or packed into the holds of scuttled vessels.” Brian pointed me to the Daily Press’ in depth coverage of this whole issue. Registration is free and only takes a minute or two and is extremely worthwhile. Included at the site are maps of disposal sites (downloadable as pdfs), stories, descriptions of items dumped including nerve and mustard gas, and rather depressing pictures some are below the fold (all from Daily Press).
HLs Take
Just one more way the very few live like kings while the rest of us suffer and pay. All due to their insatiable war for profit hard on. They hate us because a few people at the top have to play with guns and bombs so they can get rich. Just like Eisenhower told us at the end of WW2.
We could have a world largely absent of all this garbage if the Greedheads at the top didn’t always have there way against everyone else.

WASHINGTON — In a setback for the Bush administration, a federal appeals court ruled Monday that an alleged Al Qaeda operative arrested in the United States and detained in military custody for four years cannot be held as an enemy combatant….”This is a landmark ruling for all individuals in this country, rejecting the administration’s unprecedented assertion that it can treat the entire world, including the United States, as a battlefield and jail people for life without charge and without trial simply because he labels them enemy combatants,” said Jonathan L. Hafetz, litigation director of the Liberty & National Security Project at the New York University School of Law and al-Marri’s lead counsel.
Habeas corpus, which is used to challenge imprisonment and enforce due-process rights, “is what stands between the United States and a police state,” Hafetz said.
HLs Take
I heard one of the MSM Bushlickers yesterday call it “The so called Habeas Corpus Law” trying to delegitimize one of the backbones of The US Constitution. Typical whore media, they get paid a couple of hundred thousand a year to sell out their country, and it’s people. This ruling is a victory for Everyone in The U.S. except Bush, slowly the courts are realizing that Bush only cares about making the US into an Orwellian nightmare, for the sole purpose to have all the power so no one can stop is endless wars for oil, and global domination. The pendulum is starting to swing back the other way on this 21st Century Hitler, and just in the nick of time.

The list of state Democratic Parties that have passed resolutions urging the impeachment of Bush and Cheney has recently grown to 15. Meanwhile, 11 state legislatures have introduced such resolutions, which have now been passed by at least 77 cities and towns and a growing list of labor unions and other organizations. These resolutions are all listed at http://impeachpac.org/resolutions-list
On Wednesday, June 13, Waters and Kucinich plan to hold a press conference in Washington, D.C., to discuss “Renewed Efforts in the House of Representatives to Impeach Vice President Cheney.”
HLs Take
That’s’ my candidate Dennis Kucinich, the only one who is worth anything that is running for President. Okay that’s 8 down 528 to go. How come it is not reported in the mainstream media that 8 Congressmen and women and the Presidential candidate want the Vice President impeached? It’s that damn Liberal Media again.
