Colbert = Big League.

The Real Republican Candidates = Bush League.

Not sure what’s implied there, Colbert would actually be a great choice.

I wonder if Colbert got into Williard’s head a bit. He seemed self-alware in the worst way last night when discussing the issue.

Larry riding the coat tails of more famous TV personalities? 

Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. 

Crazy LOD is so rational and coherent on a nightly basis, what happened on reporting this segment?

It’s a sign of humility & of perspective that a public person can openly show appreciation & admiration for another public person. It’s evidence of the size & proliferation of outsize egos in the pundit & talking head world that so few (O’Donnell & Frank Rich in particular, Maddow, but not a lot of others) recognize what Stewart & Colbert are doing & trying to do. I almost feel that when their time comes to receive the Mark Twain award, it should be given them jointly.  

(I still miss George Carlin, but at least Louis CK ‘got it’ & is carrying that on.)

Two liberal racist with the intelligent of a ventriloquist dummy chatting. This was a waste of a good reporter time to put this piece together. I will try to save the thread. Please send the letter below. Its time for democrats to stand up for what is right. Justice demands it.

Open Letter to the Congress of the United States
Gentlemen and Ladies: 

“The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.” ROBERT HUTCHINS.

Early in my life, I was taught to address the members of Congress as the Honorable Congressman Smith etc. This was a different time and place in American History. I can no longer address this once Honorable body in this respectful tone for there is no Honor with the exception of few esteemed members. The greatest challenge Congress faces is not the economy, not unemployment but an executive intent on rendering the peoples House and Senate impotent-a mere debating society. Your indifference to this power grab by the executive branch is tantamount to the Vichy government sundering its authority to a fanatical dictator.  ” the government following the military defeat of France by Germany during World War II and the vote by the National Assembly on 10 July 1940. This vote granted extraordinary powers to Pétain, the last Président du Conseil(Prime Minister) of the Third Republic”(Wikpedia).

You did not vote to give the executive branch extraordinary powers, you do not have the courage to stand before the American people and state that congress is sundering the powers of Congress to the executive. Your indifference to the Constitution has allowed this administration to rule by executive order rather than the laws passed by our congress. “I have been up to see the Congress and they do not seem to be able to do anything except to eat peanuts and chew tobacco, while my army is starving”Robert E. Lee. Our people are suffering not from hunger but the loss of freedom. With out blood shed you are the only body that can bring this out of control executive into the confines of the Constitution.

The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.”(Robert E. Lee.) Where are the leaders of these once esteemed body on this power grab by the executive.? As much as i loathed the polices of Tip O’ Neal and Robert Byrd, I assure you that their voices would be raised in unison on the hijacking of Congressional authority by the executive branch. These two men along with many others of their time maintained the separation of the powers as their sacred duty and pity the executive that stepped on the power of the Senate or the House. “We stand passively mute in the Senate today,paralyzed by our own uncertainty … I can imagine hearing the walls of this chamber ring just before the war between the states … but today we hear nothing. We are truly sleepwalking through history.?Feb. 12, 2002″,(Senator Robert Byrd). 

This situation can not be corrected over night but steps can be made to restore the dignity and power to the people representatives, the first step is to address the corruption and incompetence in the Department of Justice. You censored a congressman for stating a truth when he said thatObama lies. Then you allowed Eric Holder to set in the hallowed chamber and lie to the people of the United States. When more honored men set in the peoples seats the howl from both side of the aisle would be deafening, the vibrations of the noise would be felt from the white house to the court houses. Where is your sense of honor? 

The American people are demanding justice be served on Mr. Holder and the upper echelons of the justice department. The United States congress can not let this man run guns and lie to congress. If your voice is not raised in contempt for these crimes. You are an accessory to  crimes committed against the Republic of Mexico and the citizens of the United States How do you feel at night knowing that federal employees were killed by guns supplied by Holder’s department, financed with money that you provided? The American people will not let this be buried and forgotten by an apathetic Congress. 

“Those who have been once intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though but for one year, never can willingly abandon it. They may be distressed in the midst of all their power; but they will never look to anything but power for their relief.”( Edmund Burke ) .The executive is intoxicated with power and you refuse to follow the constitution and put a halt on the injustice coming from the Justice Department. Your dereliction of duty in this matter is disgraceful and pathetic. Carl Albert, Democrat of Oklahoma, the Speaker of the House, and John J. Rhodes, Republican did not let politics stand in their way and impeached Richard Nixon over a hotel room break in and cover-up. “The first such impeachment recommendation in more than a century, it charges President Nixon with unlawful activities that formed a “course of conduct or plan” to obstruct the investigation of the Watergate break-in and to cover up other unlawful activities.The vote was 27 to 11, with 6 of the committee’s 17 Republicans joining all 21 Democrats in voting to send the article to the House.”(wipedia). How will history remember you,? As the first congress to surrender American justice to a questionable characters or men and women who stood up and did the right thing?

Your duty is to the people not the party. The majority of the American people are demanding that this man be fired, resign, or be impeached. You may turn a blind eye to the crimes of Holder but the American people will not. How can you claim to be men and women of Honor when you refused to take action. Please show to the world that no man is above the law in the United States of America and force this man to resign or impeach him. 

Sincerely Robert Black, without_hate. 
Co. signers:

But not, I take it, Democrat superPACs.  Or union superPACs.

The profane Laurence O’Donnell  is so ignorant on which he speaks. A dull witted firebrand of the most uninteresting sort. A bottom-dwelling blood sucker whose brain shuts down at the mere mention of facts and truth and integrity, creating his own miasma of slogans, insults, and intellectual barbarism. His latest tirade re; the number of times Republicans have run for the Presidency, is the latest example of his fornication of reality to suit his pit bull hatred and disregard of reality.

I know it’s tough to understand as a teapub, but ridicule of one, implies ridicule of all.
Implying the whole system is broken.

Do you have some sort of blog, where I may wallow in your feckless rantings?

I suspect you are already ensnared in named activity, so it would only be more of the same. Appreciate the request though.
