Then and now....

Now... Listen closely to minutes 8:50 and 10:26

I really LIKE these two people together on the news, so yeah I admire them for their intelligence, seriousness in reporting, but the camaderie, and willingness to relate that they bond in their jobs.

So if you are really interested in what goes on in the world.... do yourself a favour and listen to it all. Will continue 'upstairs'.

Well even Jon Stewart wasn't surprised....

Ken Mehlman, he with the ugly mouf, is gay. I know. Whoopee.

It wouldn't matter... except as head of the RNC, he helped launch the most vicious campaign ever to harm the GLBT I have ever seen.

For money. And now.... after a year or so out of the national spotlight, he's all 'oh, sorry'?

The man is a MESS. And I'm supposed to 'boo-hoo?' It's a joke, right? Right?

And that is supposed to make it all right, and we're gonna kiss his boo-boo. WRONG. The man is scum. EVERYBODY in the community KNEW at the time what sort of spineless creep he was. No one dared pick the story up in the mainstream.

Cripes, the Righties are so twisted, you can't even imagine whatever distortions are coming next, and then you find out they betray every 'Value', they profess to hold.

Sad.

Am linking as an exception to an article here. I like Joe Jervis, he's sorta cool.

Ok, am waiting... but nada. Just when you think you heard the Pope apoligising for child abuse

---and German television maintained that the Pope apologised for the child molestation scandals when he landed in Washington, he added a qualifier.

NO ONE has picked up on it.

No one. I jumped out of the chair and threw things at Peter's television, I was so angry.

Because he added it wouldn't have happened if American moral values hadn't sunken so low.

WHA?

Ok. Let's go at this one step at a time. Did anyone out there tell their little Jane to raise her skirt in confession and show a little thigh in the confessional? Or little Johnny to rub his crotch in the same stiuation? And maybe he gets a scholarship later on?

No, I didn't think so.

I had a very odd situation in my youth in a confessional. That priest scared me, and I never went back again.

And when I read a year or so ago that over 100 priests in my diocese were molesting children, and got quietly shunted off to 'elsewhere ' thanks to the bishop of Massachussets, I was dis-fucking-gusted.

So what was that for an apology? WE are to blame?

NO. If you are a child, and your parents teach you what to watch OUT for regarding dangers in the world, you have the antennae, and KNOW, 'get outta here NOW!'

So where the FUCK does he get off, blaming the vicitims and their parents?

Apology? It was an attack.

He used the pivot and turned it right back around to the victims.

And he should just fuck off.

And NOW I am gonna take a second blood pressure pill and go to bed.

Update, finally a reaction found via Mikes's blog round-up on Crooks and Liars nearly 72 hours later, and that via the BBC. Link is here.

Just when you think, hey...

I am going to KILL Lazarus, and Blogger...

Gawd....

Ok, where was I? Oh yes. I jaunted through the blogosphere this afternoon.

What a revelation. I LOVED Ratzi's apology, I really did. He is so ashamed that his priests molested thousands of children, world-wide. How humble. But then he brought in the pivot, it wouldn't have happened if moral values hadn't fallen in the US.

So we taught Annie and John to lift up their clothes in confession, and expose their secrets underneath and ask to touch Mr. Wiggle. Right.

2.) Rachel Maddow needs her own show. Like six months ago. I love her, and her intellect, and she doesn't dish out bullshit.

There is more, but am tired.

Nite...
