Alec Baldwin: DeLay Is the New Republican

Just cause I love the description of Cheney:

DeLay Is the New Republican

Snip...

DeLay is the New Republican. Gut the protocol on redistricting? No problem. Gonzales says that the President can wiretap the communications of US citizens inside the country without a court order? So what. Hastert and Frist sit back and watch while Bush conducts a shamelessly ineffective war and thousands of US soldiers needlessly die? Big deal. (Vietnam fell thirty years ago and that's made a real difference in American life since then, right?)

Many people have commented on these pages that the Democrats will not do any better. I believe in my heart that this is overwhelmingly untrue. If you are talking about weasels like Zell Miller, then you may have something. If you are talking about Lieberman, I agree he is a disappointment, in many ways. There are others, in both houses, who should be ashamed of how they have allowed post-9/11 fear to bottle up their logic and sense of duty. But a Democratic Congress of practically ANY makeup would be better than the swine, cowards and indictable thugs we have in there now. DeLay leaves his office as we knew he would. He has learned nothing. "Liberal media" are still to blame. (Where is that media? I want a subscription.) We currently have a breed in the leadership roles in Congress who are the worst in our history, because they learn nothing.

Talk of impeaching Bush is foolhardy. This crowd on the Hill wouldn't have the balls to impeach Bush if HE were found in a broom closet with Lewinsky. They have no guts, no hearts and no honor. Impeaching Cheney would be incredibly satisfying, because I don't think a Constitution-hating sociopath should serve as Vice President. But that's how bad this situation is. Even a hate-filled maniac who outs a CIA agent in the service of her country just to punish her husband, all because the husband was on to the maniac's scheme to start an illegitimate war, even he gets a Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card from this GOP Congress.

These are the same guys who impeached Bill Clinton. Disgraced him and his family. For nothing, really, compared to what we face now. I've said it before, I'll say it again: What is truly great about the United States is that not even eight years of some trust fund puppet and his sociopathic puppeteer can destroy this country.

10. great Rant

way to go Alec :patriot:

[muse]

11. I love the part about wanting a subscription to the liberal media!

No kidding!

Also, I appreciate the focus on DeLay. I'm in TX-22 and we are far from done with him down here. He says he is resigning, but he has not done so yet. Our governor says he is not going to call a special election to replace him when he does resign, which will leave us without representation in Congress until November. This is all typical of DeLay to yank us around like this.

The man is an infectious disease.

[BattyDem]

12. I wish he'd run for office

This guy "gets it" and he's not afraid to say so! :patriot:

[high density]

14. I got a couple of rather hilarious targeted ads there

I got one for "RepublicanSingles.com" and another to a GOP donation page. I made sure to click on both of them, because if they want to help fund the dissemination of Alec Baldwin's views, I'm all for it!

[0007]

15. We're way down in the valley, way down, can you hear us on the

hill. No we're not counting Linda Tripp and her hairs, we're talking to YOU.

[sutz12]

16. We diefinitely need some honesty in the discourse....

The RW fundies have been calling liberals traitors for too long without adequate response.

The truth about this administration and its toady congress needs to be spoken, clearly and loudly.

Alec, you may be a crappy actor, but you just put up one hell of a blog post. :thumbsup:

[quiet.american]

17. OMG. "Trust-fund puppet & his sociopathic puppeteer." ROTFLMAO

Talk about crocodile tears from Lynne Cheney -- she must really be crying now over what the bad man said.

GO ALEC!!!! That's the best %$#@&^ rant ever! This man ROCKS.

[Zorra]

18. Alec Baldwin gets it. Writes as well as a DUer too. n/t

[Jade Fox]

21. Damn, he's good!

I usually approach celebrity opinion pieces with a fair amount of skepticism, but this rocks. I appreciate him reminding us that ANY Democratic Congress would be better that what we have.

[AzDar]

22. Kick!

:kick:

[Uncle Joe]

23. I always thought Alec Baldwin,

would make an excellent Al Gore in a future movie, they resemble so much, I wonder if they are distantly related? Kicked and recommended!

:kick:

[TankLV]

26. I think he would make a good REAL President!

And not because he played on on TV.

Raygun, Aaaaaaanold?, Gopher? Sonny Bono?

He's light years ahead of these assclowns.

[laugle]

24. Thanks Pro-Sense for this day brightener...I was going to recommend it but

17 votes already.....I guess we are all on the same page!!

GO ALEC!!!

[Cha]

25. Great description of our

sociopathic resident and vice resident, Alec!

I can't imagine a Worse time in our Nation's history because bush and his puppeteers have the ability to nuke any country they want to..on any whim.

[DFW]

27. WHAT liberal media?

The "liberal media" is fictitious creation of the radical right, pulled out of
the closet for bashing whenever some Republican bit of sleaze is so blatant that
even the big money media can't ignore it. I want a subscription, too. It sure
isn't on any TV channel in the USA that I have tuned in to recently.

From the The Freedom Toast's "Sing Along With The Democrats" and sung to the tune
of "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" (posted with permission from TFT):

Stoop Low, You Media
(Swing Low, Sweet Chariot)

Stoop low, you media
Gonna leave the right wing alone?
Stoop low, you media
Gonna leave the right wing alone!

Well, I look over yonder, and what do I see?
(Call in this hot story by phone!)
There’s a woman who is littering, and she looks like Hillary!
(Call in this hot story by phone!)

I found out a top Republican had done a felony!
(Gonna leave the right wing alone?)
Got a call from Rupert Murdoch saying let the story be
(Gonna leave the right wing alone!)

Stoop low, you media
Gonna leave the right wing alone?
Stoop low, you media
Gonna leave the right wing alone!


Now, I dreamed I saw Bill Clinton get down upon his knees
(Call in this hot story by phone!)
And he prayed before McDonald’s, asking God “one more time, please!”
(Call in this hot story by phone!)

A trusted source got proof that Rove is guilty as can be,
(Gonna leave the right wing alone?)
I was told, “shut up,” or some truck would run right over me
(Gonna leave the right wing alone!)

Stoop low, you media
Gonna leave the right wing alone?
Stoop low, you media
Never throw a lib’ral a bone!!

28. I was so bummed when Alec was no longer Dr. Ryan in the Clancy movies

he was so much better than Harrison Ford.
