ViceZilla’s Views

Joe Lieberman and John McCain are almost cut from the same cloth, except Joe knows more about Sunni’s and Shia, etc. etc. What they do have in common however is an appetite to bomb Iran. John sings about it, and Joe claims it “appeals ” to him.

During Bill Bennett’s radio show today, Bill and Joe were fantasizing about their pearl wearing heroine, Hillary “obliterate them all” Clinton when Bennett lets the cat out of the bag about his admiration for Hillary.

And Joe, you know, this is my style. This is a girl who puts on her pearls, goes down, throws down a shot of liquor and bombs Iran, you know. This is…lookout Mrs. Bennett, this is my kind of girl.

Lieberman then says, “it does have an appeal to it.”

Yup, just some good ol Neocon buddies, kickin’ back havin’ some shots, talkin’ bout the ladies and bombing Iran. I wonder if these two have BFF tatoos? “Peace is for pussies” must be tattooed on their ass cheeks!

West Virginians came out of their holes on Tuesday and saw their shadows, prolonging an already unbearable Democratic nomination race. Voters handed Hillary a 67% win over rival Barrack Obama, which did nothing more than stroke her ego, and give her hope to continue the race.

Thanks West Virginia, for nothing!

What does it all mean in the big scheme of things? Well, it proves that 25% of voters in West Virginia are 60 or older, and have no education beyond high school, prefer Hillary Clinton. Overall, it means not too much, as Hillary’s win only increased her delegate total by 20. She is still far behind Obama in the overall delegate count with 1,717 to Obama’s 1,885.

Hillary was actually getting tolerable after she started acknowledging the writing on the wall that her campaign was sputtering out. She’s behind in the overall delegate count, the superdelegate count, and her campaign is running on borrowed funds. Yes, for awhile there it looked as though she was looking for the proper place and time to step aside. But that was then, this is now as she is proudly proclaiming:

“This race isn’t over yet.”

Great! Six more weeks of negativity from her campaign speeches as she tries to do the impossible, and that is win! Great, just great!

Somehow I find this news story ironic, in the fact that President Bush says he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of US soldiers killed in the conflict in Iraq.

“I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them.”

Now if only VP Cheney could find it in his heart to hang up the fly rod and show some solidarity as well, he might actually take on the persona of being somewhat human!

The House Judiciary Committee called Karl Rove’s bluff about testifying about what he knows about the prosecution of Don Siegelman, but now Rove doesn’t want to play anymore.

Rove’s offer to testify before the House Judiciary Committee is like watching a used car salesman wiggle his way out of the “do I have a deal for you” scenario. Rove’s latest deal offering goes from his preliminary offer of a private interview with no transcript or oath, to his new offer that he will testify in writing.

So the Turd cannot summon enough balls to testify in person before the House Judiciary Committee, so now he wants to “mail in” his testimony? What a crock!

Does anybody have any idea how long it takes a letter to get from, oh lets say Paraguay to Washington, D.C.? Because I’m willing to bet that’s where Rove will be writing his testimony from! I can see this guy getting out of the kitchen before it gets too hot for his liking.

What’s more disheartening than buying your case of beer, only to have the handles give out in the 7-11 parking lot, turning your bottled sunshine into a puddle of foam, glass, and cardboard? Or worse yet, having the same thing happen but only on your driveway? One must always take precautions to protect the working man’s nectar, but there are limits.

Who hasn’t belted their case of beer into the backseat for ride home? It’s probably pretty common because who the hell wants to clean up 24 busted beer bottles from behind the driver’s seat after it gets air born because of the very well maintained potholes in our fine neighborhoods? Buckling your beer in before the drive home is acceptable, but only if it doesn’t relegate your child to sit on floor because of it.

Apparently in Australia, it is more important for the beer to be safe in the car, while a child has to fend for himself!

An Australian man has been fined after buckling in a case of beer with a seat belt but leaving a 5-year-old child to sit on the car’s floor, police said Tuesday.

The 30-can beer case was strapped in between two adults sitting in the back seat of the car. The child was also in back, but on the car’s floor.

Hell, at least the child was on the floor! I remember as a kid, while on the family summer vacation my parents let me lay on back seat ledge under the rear window! Hell, every kid I knew did the same thing! How the times have changed. Either the parents of today are getting smarter, or back then the kids were just tougher!
