In Arizona did Kubla McCain
7 stately pleasure domes decree:
Where Abramoff and sleazebag lobbyists, ran
Through bribes measureless to a working man
Among the elitist GOP.

He built one mansion in Sedona’s precious sands
With walls to hide Big Oil’s greedy hands:
And Wall Street cash flowed from gilded spigots;
While Kubla McCain dined with Swift Boat bigots

Homage to John McMansion continues in Executive Class below. Members Only.

My family, Sacco & Vanzetti: 80 years ago today

At my grandmothers wake thirteen years ago, I chatted with 87 year-old great uncle Gaetano, imploring him to share childhood stories of his sister that I might include in the next day's eulogy at St. Margaret's Church.

"Uncle Guy" recounted life in Milford, Massachusetts during the fist decades of the 20th century, describing the intimate Italian immigrant community of which his family was part. After a few vignettes about trips to the beach and his father's battle with silicosis from carving tombstones, he said, "my father hung around with the Socialists back then. You know Sacco and Vanzetti? Sacco got married in our house. One time my mother hid Sacco's wife when the police arrested him and were looking for her."

Army Surgeon Gen. BLAMES TROOPS for Walter Reed mess

On last night's NewsHour, US Army Surgeon General Kevin Kiley served-up a banquet of BS to explain the media-exposed mess at Walter Reed that occurred under his command:

But, remember, more than half the rooms were actually perfectly OK. And those that are problems like mold, there were only about seven of them that had that. The mice and cockroach issue was something that, in fact, the command did address last year, and that was due to soldiers leaving food in their rooms. We policed that up, and the rodent problem and cockroach problem has been corrected.

That's accountability from the man in charge of all the Army's hospitals.

It gets worse --much worse-- below the fold.

Plamegate Testimony: Russert easy mark for Cheney lies

What the netroots have known for years has been officially confirmed in testimony by Cheney spokesliar Cathie Martin: Timmeh Russert's Meet the Press was the Bush-holes' preferred forum to spread Iraq lies. From today's WaPo:

"Flashed on the courtroom computer screens were her notes from 2004 about how Cheney could respond to allegations that the Bush administration had played fast and loose with evidence of Iraq's nuclear ambitions. Option 1: "MTP-VP," she wrote... I suggested we put the vice president on 'Meet the Press,' which was a tactic we often used," Martin testified. "It's our best format."

Assistant Sec. of Defense for Detainee Affairs Charles Stimson suggested blacklisting law firms employing lawyers who provide free legal assistance to Gitmo detainees.

In a Thursday interview he said:

"I think, quite honestly, when corporate C.E.O.’s see that those firms are representing the very terrorists who hit their bottom line back in 2001, those C.E.O.’s are going to make those law firms choose between representing terrorists or representing reputable firms, and I think that is going to have major play in the next few weeks. And we want to watch that play out."

Shockingly, the Wall St. Journal editorialized on the same subject Friday.

And what prompted Stimson to review the firms where these lawyers work? Why a FOIA request from right-wing pundit Monica Crowley, former employee of Tricky Dick Nixon...

More down in the sewer.

In my diary yesterday about Eric Massa's inspirational send-off to volunteer canvassers, I included photos of a racist direct mail piece we discovered in several small towns.

This truly offensive mailer shows a white woman being assaulted from behind by a black man; you simply must see it to believe it.

It's now posted on Ben Smith's blog at The Daily News, as the desperate GOP apparently has sent it to small towns throughout the state.

Why is Rep. Weller (R-IL.) secretly buying land in Nicaragua?

Investigative reporter Frank Smyth broke the story in August when Rep. Jerry Weller (R-IL), who serves on the House Subcomitte on the Western Hemisphere, became the first member of Congress ever to have a spouse serving in a foreign government (he married the daughter of former Guatemalan dictator Gen. Rios Montt).

In today's Chicago Reader, Smyth reveals that Rep. Weller has been quietly purchasing parcels of land in Nicaragua's Coco Beach area over the past for years. Some of these aquisitions Weller has reported to Congress as required by its rules -- and some he apparently has not.

When contacted, Weller's lawyers and campaign manager refuse to comment... Read More

Many observers have explained Foleygate as Republican hypocrisy, others as hubris. Apologists on The Right claim Foley's is purely an individual defect, anomlous within the Republican Party.

The reality is far more insidious. Foley exemplifies the Right-Wing Conservative Lifestyle: perpetrating an elaborate fraud of moral superiority in which you aggressively attack the morality of others to conceal your own immoral, unethical and criminal behavior.

The Right-Wing Conservative Lifestyle is the lifestyle of the Morality Scam, the confidence game, the family values flim-flam --practiced by the worst kind of sociopath. And not only is it the chosen lifestyle of individual so-called "conservatives," it is the central organizaing principle and defining ethos of today's Republican Party. Read More

For decades, Republicans have successfully mass-marketed a core fallacy: that so-called "liberal" values and government policies are the root cause of America's problems, and that replacing them with so-called "conservative" values and government policies is the cure.

Their strategy influenced millions of swing voters and has sustaining right-wing poltical gains for two decades. With Foleygate, that core assertion has reached a tipping point and triggered a nuclear meltdown.

It finally is being exposed as a nothing more than an insidious cover-up strategy to conceal the corrupt, venal and depraved group of sociopaths who comprise today's right-wing Republican Party. If we do our part, we'll win in November and reclaim American political discourse for a generation.

Well, you knew Fred Hiatt & Co. wouldn't sit passively as the Republicans sank themselves with another scandal:

The Redder They Are, The Harder They Fall -
Republicans More Damaged by Scandals
Sex scandals involving politicians are as old as Thomas Jefferson, but the outcome seems to depend on which party you represent. In recent years, for the most part, Democrats have been able to survive their sordid escapades while Republicans have paid with their political lives.
The latest example: Mark Foley...
