Political notes from Free Press staff writers Terri Hallenbeck, Sam Hemingway and Nancy Remsen

3.19.2008

Good luck, Peter

Perhaps you have heard the news that fellow blogger Peter Freyne is hanging up his column writing in Seven Days. I can't say that I'm surprised. He had not looked particularly motivated in recent times.

I wish him luck in licking the depression thing, for which I have great sympathy. I also think it's great for him to come right out and say that's what's up because it is not something one should hide in shame. We all know, too, that it is not easy to stay motivated over many decades through all the changes that life brings.

Peter's heyday was before my time in the political fray here, so I will leave talk about that to others, but I will say that generally speaking the world is better off with more, not fewer, people focusing on the people's business.

What a loss. One less leftist moron to lick Brooklyn Bernie's boots or slobber over "St. Patrick" Leahy. Eh? Good riddance! How bad can it be when you can't even write a blog for a wretched left-wing hate rag like "Seven Days"? Eh?

He'll have to get his little nameless-nitwits to read it to him.

This news brought to mind a song off Monty Python's "Contractual Obligation" album. It was called "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me."

Don't know why, Just did.

How so? Guess if you get a kick out of daily doses of "Burlap", "Ol' Bernardo", "St. Patrick", "eh" instead of "bupkis", "reminds me of when my pal Al Franken..blah blah", or "Cheney yourself". Jezum Crow, where the hell do you leftist fools go when you "retire"? Do they have an old folks home for drooling, blubbering, hate-filled Amerika-haters?

Nobody hates America more than you Bubba.

That's true about Bubba. His inability to accept differing opinions leads me to believe that his political leanings are more communist than democratic. He's extremely close-minded and very, very opposed to any change whatsoever. Seems better suited for the deep South, actually.

"Nobody hates America more than you Bubba."

Nah, as he made abundantly clear in his cretinous comments and loathsome lies yesterday while still attempting to link Saddam to 9/11 and telling the American People to go cheney themselves, Dick Cheney remains the Undisputed Heavyweight Champ/Secretariat of Anti-American Treasonous Trash.

Give the Devil his due.

Nobody hates America and Americans more than Dick Cheney.

As heads is tails just call him Lucifer, 'cause he's in need of some restraint.

And he's got the record to prove it, too.

Bin Laden doesn't hate America as much as Dick Cheney hates America and everything it stands for.

Bin Laden finishes 3 lengths behind Bush who was 10 lengths behind Cheney with toxic-tommy delay, karl rove, rummmy and scooter rounding out the field and limping home well-off the pace on their way to their rendezvous with destiny and a freshly-deregulated meatpacking plant.

The little bigot boy finished dead last in his heat and didn't even qualify for for the finals.

Plunging to that level of UnAmerican Activities, white-supremacist slime is something bubbles and his nameless-nitwit posse can only aspire to.

Hitler may have hated Germany more than Cheney hates America but it's a photo finish.

Is that so little fella?... Unless and until you can demonstrate the ability to prove that, you remain the same factually-challenged, desperate, delusional dreck merchant desperately throwin' hateful slop at the wall in the steadily-fading hope that something will stick.

It hasn't and you've got bupkis.

You're an ignorant, ill-informed, Anti-American white-supremacist slime with bupkis making specious allegations you can't substantiate and frequently can't spell.

So stipulated.

I never doubted your coalition of the clueless-cretin credentials for a second, little fella.

Go cheney yourself, punk. You're anonymous, ignorant trash with nothing to say.

Gee, too bad they don't sell legitimate arguments, schmuck. Clearly, your coalition of the clueless cupboard remains bare.

Nice try.

Dismissed.

It seems to fit your post well Coopy girl.

OK, who wants jw? Do the progs or the dims claim him as "one of their own"?

Gee, that's the best-written, best-presented, most-thoughtful argument your ignorant ass has mustered up yet, little factually-challenged fella.

Congrats.

Unfortunately, as nicely-wrapped as it is, your underlying argument has no foundation, is not supported by the facts, and there's no merit or substance to it.

Then again, having caught your pathetic, coalition of the clueless act once too often, there never is.

Tough break, little fraudulent fella.

Alas, your sorry, simple, bupkis-spewin', Anti-American ass can steal my stuff all ya want, punk, but as long as you're wrapping it around the same factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest gop-slop nonsense with no basis in fact, you and your unsubstantiated allegations remain wholly without merit, both factually and legally.

In short, ya got no case, no clue and no reason to keep wastin' my dog's oxygen.

Disappear.

Get yourself some new lies, little fella.

Bush's State Department has been busted breaching Obama's Passport Information on at least 3 separate occasions.

That's a felony. Actually, it's several of them.

The WASP Corleone Klan has been busted once again.

Sleep tight, schmuck.

JW this seems a little ethnically insensitive. I thought you were a much more tolerant person.

Coupled with other past references to groups such as the Germans, I think you should follow the lead of your man B.O. and renounce all ethnic intolerance, apologize for your indiscretions and ask for our forgiveness. Along the way, feel free to toss Grandma under the bus.

Hello, brain-dead, bush-league, bubble-headed-bigotry!

Feel free to point out just where and when I said racism was the only crime this administration was guilty of, little bone-headed bigot boy.

Tell me, little Anti-American, treasonous-trash, brain-dead bigot with bupkis, white-supremacist slime fella, just how does news that the Bush State Department's criminal activity and incompetence was even more wide-spread than originally thought strengthen your case and strike you as a good thing?

Oy, Gevalt, what a farcockteh meshuggah schmuck.

"JW this seems a little ethnically insensitive."

Really? How so? Is it your contention that a fictional Mafia Family from the pen of Mario Puzo will be offended by my comparing them to the decidedly disloyal and unroyal, illegitimate, incompetent trash currently occupying the White House while systematically shredding the Constitution, destroying our economy and doing for American Prestige what Hitler did for Germany?

I'll send them a fictional floral arrangement for their Daughter's Wedding.

"I thought you were a much more tolerant person."

Ya did, eh? Clearly, you don't think at all, little "irrational fear of a black president" fella.

Just what have I said or done that would lead you to believe I have any tolerance for ignorant, ill-informed factually-challenged, fundamentally-dishonest, white-supremacist, delusional-dreck merchants like yourself, little UnAmerican fan-of-friendly-fascism-failure fella?

I assure you, if I've said or done anything that would lead you to deduce that I have anything but the utmost contempt for your factually-challenged fascist philosophy and ignorant UnAmerican ass, you have my deepest and most profound apologies, deduce bag.

"Coupled with other past references to groups such as the Germans, I think you should follow the lead of your man B.O. and renounce all ethnic intolerance, apologize for your indiscretions and ask for our forgiveness. Along the way, feel free to toss Grandma under the bus."

Ya do, eh? Well, if ya ever come up with a legitimate case and I ever decide to converse with coalition of the clueless cretins pretentiously attempting to pass off ignorant bigotry and blatant racism as conservative traditional values worthy of preservation and themselves as serious advocates of a legitimate point of view meriting careful consideration and debate when they're just knuckle-draggin' nitwits spewin' bigoted BS with no basis in fact, we can do lunch and talk.

Feel free to go cheney yourself, chump.

You're ignorant trash with bupkis, schmuck.

You're dumb, you're scum and there is nothing even remotely legitimate about your pitifully- pathetic white-supremacist slime philosophy as you continue to waste my dog's oxygen.

Disappear.
