The Top 25 Conservative Idiots, No. 250

July 3, 2006
The Great Big 250th Edition

The stars have aligned perfectly this week. The last seven days been absolutely packed with conservative idiocy, we celebrate the birth of the nation on Tuesday, and this also happens to be the 250th edition of the Top 10. So as a special treat we proudly present not 10, not 15, not 20... but 25 bona fide Conservative Idiots! Don't forget the key!





George W. Bush warmongering

So guess what? It turns out that Our Great Leader is officially a war criminal. Last week the Supreme Court ruled in Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld that "military commissions for trying terrorist suspects violate both U.S. military law and the Geneva Convention," according to the Los Angeles Times.

But the real blockbuster in the Hamdan decision is the court's holding that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention applies to the conflict with Al Qaeda - a holding that makes high-ranking Bush administration officials potentially subject to prosecution under the federal War Crimes Act.

All together now: Oops!



The Bush Administration excessive spin hypocrisy

In order to distract attention from the fact that he's now officially a war criminal, the Bush administration has gone on a full-bore offensive against the most dangerous, anti-American crowd he can think of. No, not Osama bin Laden and friends - the New York Times.

Last week the Times filed a report on the terrorist-tracking activities of the SWIFT international financial system. Our Great Leader immediately swung down from the branches of his tree house and proclaimed, "The disclosure of this program is disgraceful. We're at war with a bunch of people who want to hurt the United States of America, and for people to leak that program, and for a newspaper to publish it, does great harm to the United States of America."

Right. Except for one thing - the terrorists already knew about the program. According to Richard Clarke, "They want the public to believe that it had not already occurred to every terrorist on the planet that his telephone was probably monitored and his international bank transfers subject to scrutiny. How gullible does the administration take the American citizenry to be?"

Oh, and one other thing - it was George W. Bush who publicly announced this program back in September of 2001:

We know that many of these individuals and groups operate primarily overseas, and they don't have much money in the United States. So we've developed a strategy to deal with that. We're putting banks and financial institutions around the world on notice, we will work with their governments, ask them to freeze or block terrorist's ability to access funds in foreign accounts.

Oh yes, and one last thing - the government has been bragging about the program ever since:

...a search of public records - government documents posted on the Internet, congressional testimony, guidelines for bank examiners, and even an executive order President Bush signed in September 2001 - describe how US authorities have openly sought new tools to track terrorist financing since 2001. That includes getting access to information about terrorist-linked wire transfers and other transactions, including those that travel through SWIFT.

If you want more information about the super-secret SWIFT program you can find it, er, on their website.



George W. Bush anti-environment

Last week George W. Bush said that global warming is a "serious problem." No, honestly. He actually said that. Then he said:

There's a debate over whether (global warming) is manmade or naturally caused. We ought to get beyond that debate and start implementing the technologies necessary to enable us to achieve a couple of big objectives - one, be good stewards of the environment; two, become less dependent on foreign sources of oil for economic reasons and for national security reasons.

Well gee, I guess we should "get beyond that debate" and "start implementing the technologies necessary." If only there was someone in charge who could pull the levers of power and make it happen.

Well, Mr. President? Any idea where we can find someone in a position of great power and responsibility who might be able to do that?





Senate Republicans pandering

Thank goodness for the Citizens Flag Alliance. According to the Washington Post, the group recently reported "an alarming 33 percent increase in the number of flag-desecration incidents this year." That's right - the number of flag burnings in the U.S over the past year has jumped from three to four. Won't somebody think of the children? This requires an urgent response!

Don't worry though - the GOP is on it. While the Bush administration was busy distracting the nation with meaningless attacks on the New York Times, Senate Republicans wasted everybody's time with yet another election-year flag-burning amendment. Which, after three days of pointless debate, they voted against.

Still, it's good to know that the Republican party has got the country's best interests at heart. After all, I honestly can't think of anything more important in the world right now than trying to stop the insane flag-burning epidemic that's sweeping our great nation. Can you?



Mel Martinez dumb

For example, here's how seriously Sen. Mel Martinez (R-FL) takes the flag-burning issue. During the debate last week, he was spotted indulging in a little extra-curricular activity - autographing pictures of himself.

In case you were wondering what role Martinez had during this important occasion that could allow him to spend time slapping his John Hancock on a bunch of headshots, don't worry, it wasn't anything important. He was only presiding over the debate.



The Bush Administration fiscal irresponsibility

We all know that the Bush administration takes the problem of runaway spending seriously - ha ha! No, really, don't laugh. See, after spending hundreds of billions of dollars to send our soldiers to fight an unnecessary war in Iraq, Bush & Co. have decided that it's time to stop the bleeding (not literally of course).

Last week Military.com reported that "The Bush administration continues to sound an alarm over rising military personnel costs from steady gains in pay and benefits voted by the Congress, including more new initiatives in the 2007 defense budget bill."

That's right folks - the administration wants to save some cash by preventing military personnel from getting pay raises and benefits that Congress has approved. I guess that's what passes for "supporting the troops" these days.





Brian Kilmeade excessive spin

Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade demonstrated just how fair and balanced he is last week while interviewing Sen. Carl Levin (D-MI). Kilmeade spent most of the interview talking over Levin and then announced that time was up. Levin wasn't going to take that lying down and ended the segment by saying, "Well thank you for your opinion, but I was hoping this was going to be an interview of me rather than an interview of you."

As the camera pulled back, a flustered Kilmeade could be seen "scowling and shaking his head." Think Progress has the video!



Brian Kilmeade dumb

A few days after his encounter with Levin, Kilmeade decided to cheer himself up by announcing that the best thing the government can do to help fight the "war on terror" is to bring back the Office of Censorship. This new government office would "screen news reports to determine whether they 'hurt the country' or are of 'news value,'" according to Media Matters:

NAPOLITANO: Of course, we can. We have it both ways now. We can say whatever we want and the government can't censor us and the government can still fight the war on terror. If we were to allow some office of the government to decide what journalists can say, that would be the same that the King of England imposed on newspapers in England and in the U.S. and that prompted the Revolution. It would be about the most un-American thing you can imagine. How can we fight a war to bring freedom to another country, to bring freedom of the press to another country when we're crushing freedom of the press here at home?

KILMEADE: Not crushing -- preserving our freedom by preserving our secrets because war is not a free thing. Intelligence is not something to be shared: It's to be coveted and used to our advantage. Here's what Roosevelt did. He appointed Byron Price, a respected journalist, to run the office. Price accepts the post on the condition that the media can voluntarily agree on a self-censorship. The Office employs 14,000, and they are civilians, to monitor cable, mail, and radio communications between the United States and other nations. The Office closes in 1945. Our nation still flies. The flag still soars.

NAPOLITANO: Scaring me to death, Brian, because I know they'd come after O'Reilly and me and you'd have to visit us in Gitmo.

KILMEADE: No, they wouldn't. You're not doing anything anti-American.

Does anyone else find it odd that members of the media are now actually advocating censorship of the media? I mean, I know Kilmeade is probably jealous because he has to read censored reports all the time at Fox News, but it doesn't mean that everyone should have to.





Ernie Fletcher covering your ass

The first of Ernie Fletcher's two entries this week finds the Kentucky governor getting a head start on that whole "Office of Censorship" idea - Fletcher's administration has apparently been blocking state employees from logging on to certain websites while at work. A spokeswoman for Fletcher says there's nothing to worry about. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Jill Midkiff, spokeswoman for the Finance and Revenue Cabinet, said Wednesday that an outside contractor checks state computers and blocks "a broad number of categories" of Internet Web sites.

Of course it's pure coincidence that the websites in question happen to be critical of Fletcher. As one of the censored blogs, BluegrassReport.org, noted recently:

So far this morning, the following conservative/Republican websites are still available for state employee viewing:

* Drudge Report
* The Republican National Committee's blog
* Rush Limbaugh
* Hugh Hewitt
* Hot Air
* Captains Quarters
* Outside the Beltway

Why am I not surprised?



Ernie Fletcher car hypocrisy

Meanwhile, MSNBC reports that:

In Kentucky, the Fletcher administration has begun running radio announcements across the state, calling on people to walk or bike more. In his State of the Commonwealth address earlier this year, Fletcher announced the kickoff of a fitness program to help fight obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Very commendable. It's a shame that Ernie Fletcher isn't practicing what he preaches. Apparently it's a mere 500 feet from the Governor's Mansion to the Governor's Office in Frankfort, KY, yet he's decided that he would rather take a limo - paid for by Kentucky taxpayers, of course - than walk.

Why? Because according to Fletcher, "That's what security likes." How convenient!





Steve King excessive spin

Referring to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said, "There probably are not 72 virgins in the hell he's at. And if there are, they probably all look like Helen Thomas."

Personally I can't think of anything classier than insulting the appearance of an 85-year-old woman.



Katherine Harris dumb

Meanwhile Katherine Harris said that "she is getting support in strange places in her fall bid for the U.S. Senate," according to the Palatka Daily News.

"I've had Democrats in the House of Representatives come to me and say 'You know, we'd really like to take the majority in the U.S. Senate' - these are Florida Democrats in the U.S. Congress - 'but you'll do so much more for us if you're there. We hope you win,'" Harris told a crowd gathered at the Putnam County Shrine Club.

But according to a recent Quinnipiac University poll she's trailing Bill Nelson by 59 percent to 26 percent and "only 35 percent of Republicans polled said they wanted her as the nominee." So apparently these mysterious "Democrats in the House of Representatives" (read: voices in her head) are the only ones who want her to win.



Paul McGuire dumb

Right-wing radio host Paul McGuire appeared on Neil Cavuto's show last week and had the following to say about the Dixie Chicks:

I think the Dixie Chicks are expanding to new country markets. You know, Osama bin Laden lives up in the mountains in the country. I hear he's a big fan of the Dixie Chicks, so they've got the Al Qaeda market cornered.

Ha ha! Good one. Boy, I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing these "you libs are best friends with Osama bin Laden" quips. In fact, I'll probably still be laughing at them right up to the time the Office of Censorship shows up and ships me off to Gitmo.



Clarence Thomas chickenhawk

Meanwhile Clarence Thomas took a stern tone in his dissenting opinion of Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld, accusing Justice John Paul Stevens of having an "unfamiliarity with the realities of warfare." Of course, Stevens is unfamiliar with the realities of warfare because he only served in the U.S. Navy from 1942-1945, whereas Thomas is an expert because while he never actually served in the military he once played "Command & Conquer" on his friend's PC.

Presumably Thomas failed to join the military because he had other priorities, such as practicing his sexual harrassment techniques.



Jerry Falwell religious nut

And Jerry Falwell announced last week that the entertainment industry is the root of all evil:

Illicit sex today. Today the world has gone sex crazy. Illicit sex has become the downfall of many in the Bible. Movie stars not married to each other, having babies and making headlines all over the world as though they were doing some great thing. Big deal! Just another moral pervert.

(snip)

And don't, don't ever be proud of sin. You know, you almost got to be a homosexual to be recognized in the entertainment industry anymore. Ellen (Degeneres), and all the rest. I love them, pray for their souls, but they're immoral. And the Hollywood scene - five and eight and 10 marriages - not something to be emulated.

Hey Rev. Falwell! Over here! I've found someone in the entertainment industry who is desperately in need of your counsel...





Rush Limbaugh arrest

Oh Rush, what can I say about you and your flaccid penis that hasn't already been said in the past week?

In case you've been living on another planet, Rush Limbaugh was caught on his way back from the Dominican Republic last week carrying bottles of Viagra prescribed to someone else - his doctor. And in case you've forgotten, Limbaugh recently managed to escape going to jail for "doctor shopping" after cutting a deal with prosecutors which meant he would have to keep is nose very, very clean. Limbaugh's lawyer said that the prescription was in his doctor's name "for privacy purposes." Gee, that worked well! According to CNN:

The sheriff's office was continuing its investigation and would turn the case over to prosecutors in several days, Edmondson said. The alleged violation could be a second-degree misdemeanor if Limbaugh's doctor doesn't confirm the prescription.

But don't get too excited:

This latest case may simply be dismissed if prosecutors can confirm with Limbaugh's doctor that the prescription was indeed for Limbaugh, said Kendall Coffey, a former U.S. attorney in Florida.

Of course, there are plenty of questions left unanswered. For example, if sex is a shameful act which can only be properly practiced by married couples for the purposes of procreation, why is radio's greatest living moralist walking around with his pockets stuffed full of boner pills?

Hopefully Jerry Falwell will be able to answer that question for us.





Tony Snow cheese


So I saw this picture of Tony Snow, and I thought to myself, "why the hell is Tony Snow wearing those sunglasses? He looks like a complete asshat."

The I read the Associated Press caption:

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow wears Elvis style sunglasses as he speaks to reporters on board Air Force One taking President Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi to Memphis, Tenn. where they will visit Graceland.

Which makes sense. But doesn't, of course, take away from the fact that he really does look like a complete asshat.



George W. Bush dumb

Later that day...


Priscilla is thinking, "I hope I'm getting paid for this."

Lisa-Marie is thinking, "At least he's not Michael Jackson."

George is thinking, "Heh heh! Look at that little Chinese fella dance!"



George W. Bush loser

Here's Our Great Leader enjoying the fruits of his labor, leading a double-amputee Iraq war veteran through an enjoyable photo-opportunity, er, I mean afternoon jog round the South Lawn:


George is saying, "Last one to the end of the path is the world's biggest loser, okay? And it ain't gonna be me. Bring it on."



George W. Bush photo-opping

And here he is visiting a wounded soldier in San Antonio:


The soldier is saying, "Can't you see I've been badly burned? Stop squeezing my fingers you @&$%*"



People Who Buy This Shit dumb


'Nuff said.





Chris Baker dumb

Video of the week comes courtesy of Crooks and Liars, who posted this spectacular effort by right-wing nutjob Chris Baker to answer liberal talk radio host Bernie Ward's simple question: "should the government be allowed to tell newspapers what they can and can't publish?"

Baker's effort involves pulling faces, calling Bernie Ward names, and then storming off the set. Oh, and not answering the question, of course. Don't miss it!



Van Tran hypocrisy

Republican assemblyman Van Tran is running for his seat in Orange County, Calif., again this year, and no doubt he'll be focusing one of his top priorities from 2005 - a "special initiative" to prevent insurance scams. You can read all about it on his website.

Of course, if you want to get some real insider information on insurance scams you'd probably be better off asking Tran's wife, Cyndi Nguyen, who was formerly the "target of an investigation involving eight law enforcement agencies, including the FBI," according to the Los Angeles Times, "for helping to concoct bogus medical bills at her paralegal office in Sacramento." She was eventually charged with nine felonies and three misdemeanors before "the Sacramento district attorney agreed to allow her to plead no contest to the three lesser charges in 2004."



Craig Stephen White homophobia sex hypocrisy

The Rev. Craig Stephen White has for years been preaching about the dangers of homosexuality, espousing his belief that "homosexuals are going to hell," according to the Chester Daily Local of Pennsylvania. I mention this only because White was in court last week appealing his conviction for "solicitation to commit involuntary sexual deviate intercourse, attempt at luring a child into a motor vehicle, solicitation to commit prostitution and corruption of minors."

On the afternoon of June 26 (2003), White, in his minivan, approached a 14-year-old boy walking in the 500 block of South Adams Street.

White first asked the boy if he knew of any strip clubs or adult video stores in the area. The victim said he didn't, and he gave White directions to a nonadult video store in a local shopping center.

White also asked the boy if he wanted any beer, then rescinded the offer, saying, "No, you’re not old enough to drink."

Next, he attempted to get the boy to enter his van and show him where the video store was, but the victim refused.

White drove away, only to return a second time and ask the teen if he could perform oral sex on the victim in exchange for money.

The boy walked away but memorized the minivan's license plate number.

I mean, seriously, you can't make this stuff up.



Ann Coulter plagiarism

And finally, we can't leave the 250th edition of the Top 10 without a mention of Ann Coulter. But don't worry - this isn't just another rehashing of her latest dumb/offensive/false statement.

It's been alleged in the past that Ann has, shall we say, a bit of a plagiarism problem. But last week the New York Post went a step further, reporting that "John Barrie, the creator of a leading plagiarism-recognition system, claimed he found at least three instances of what he calls "textbook plagiarism" in the leggy blond pundit's "Godless: the Church of Liberalism" after he ran the book's text through the company's digital iThenticate program."

He also says he discovered verbatim lifts in Coulter's weekly column, which is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers, including the Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) Sun-Sentinel and Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.

Barrie, CEO of iParadigms, told The Post that one 25-word passage from the "Godless" chapter titled "The Holiest Sacrament: Abortion" appears to have been lifted nearly word for word from Planned Parenthood literature published at least 18 months before Coulter's 281-page book was released.

A separate, 24-word string from the chapter "The Creation Myth" appeared about a year earlier in the San Francisco Chronicle with just one word change - "stacked" was changed to "piled."

Another 33-word passage that appears five pages into "Godless" allegedly comes from a 1999 article in the Portland (Maine) Press Herald.

Be on the lookout for Coulter's new book due out next spring entitled, Google: Man's Best Friend.

See you next week!

15. Ah, news censorship. Of course!
An informed electorate is the enemy of tyranny. Is there any surprise that Bush wants to keep the electorate uninformed?

Look, the problem here is not that the news outlets are reporting stories of illegal activities, even if the illegal activities are classified to one degree or another. The problem is that our government is doing the illegal activities in the first place!

First off, I don't believe the news outlets should be punished for printing classified information about illegitimate national security projects. One of the purposes of the press is to shine the light of public knowledge on government activities that are cover-ups, illegal, immoral, wasteful, and/or hypocritical.

Second, WE'RE NOT AT WAR!!!!! I SAW Bush stand on the deck of the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and state that combat was over! That was well over 3 years ago! And he was right.

Where we are now is the post-war occupation of Iraq. Occupation of a foreign country is NOT anything CLOSE to justification for national censorship in THIS country!

That Brian Kilmeade talking-head had it right in the transcript: "The Office employs 14,000, and they are civilians, to monitor cable, mail, and radio communications between the United States and other nations. The Office closes in 1945. Our nation still flies. The flag still soars." Note that when the combat ended, THE CENSORSHIP ENDED!!!!

God, Truman didn't use the occupations of Germany and Japan as an excuse to keep the media muzzled! Or for domestic survaillance, or mail inspections, or anything else like that.

Look, the wars against Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were wars against foes of comperable strength, and they were massive wars fought over the course of years involving millions of troops, trillions of rounds of ammunition, billions of tons of food and supplies, tens of thousands of aircraft, and thousands of ships.

The war in Iraq (the six week battle, not the occupation) was grossly overmatched in numbers and technology. Knowing that a carrier task force had set sail in January for the Persion Gulf would give Iraq a timeline for the invasion, but it would not help him resist at all. If the same information had been printed in 1943, that would have helped the Japanese in the strategic battle for the Pacific.

Stuff like reporting that the Allies broke the Enigma code would have been devestating to Allied operations. Reporting that the Allies had cryptographers that were working on breaking German codes would NOT help Hitler or hurt Roosevelt. And that is what the NYT did. And the LAT. And the Wall Street Journal.

God, these people need to go!

7. LOL. too funny
you're response is funny, whereas the sticker is so blasphemous that it cracks me up and gives power to the anti-Christian crowd which infuriates me further. The Bush crime cartel is about the furthest thing from "Christian" as you can get, they steal, murder, lie, and cheat their way to vast power & money. What a sham...

and you'd all never find a sticker like that on my shop! lol. yes, I was disgusted like you!

Same thing with Bush.

13. Thanks for the extra idiots
Edited on Mon Jul-03-06 02:42 AM by ejbr
I, for one, knew they were there all along, but that Earl was just not up to the task of pointing out the incredibly numerous idiocies of conservatives every week. However, given the special occasion, he demonstrates how easy it is to find more than TWICE the normal number of idiots for us to laugh at, lament and be utterly disgusted with.

And Cooley Hurd is right, if I had to make the difficult choice, "look at that little Chinese fella dance" was definitely the one that resonates this week! Hilarious!! :spray:

14. Bush and the Veterans
How can this man sleep at night or look at himself in the mirror everyday, knowing that he's ruined so many lives with his greed and lies?

22. The Sad Part Is, 25 Doesn't Exhaust The List of Wacky GOPpersUpdated at 5:30 PM
For example, no mention made of now wholly impeachable Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito, who advocated war crimes, and if one stretches to the lower level, one can add Roberts to the list. We got the means to purge the Court now, folks! That's got to count as a bonus!

23. Gotta tell ya, Steve King makes me proud to be an Iowan
Well, no, not really. Thankfully, he's all the way on the other side of the state from me. Sucks for the people out there though. And 25 idiots? Hell, there could probably 100 idiots from last week alone, but I guess there just isn't time or space. Great job! And always needed on a Monday.

24. I just love you. You absolutely make my Monday mornings.
You've hooked my husband and my sister as well. I got two emails by 8:15 asking why I hadn't sent your column to them at work yet.

Thanks!

25. The question everyone needs to ask about Limbaugh...
The Dominican Republic is reportedly a hotbed for perverts that want to have sex with children. Just how old were Limbaugh's sex partners over there?

27. Nice job with 25!
It's a nice touch, considering ten doesn't usually catch all the big ones any more (sad thing, in a way). I'd ask you to consider running one this size every week, but we don't want to take up all of your time ;)

Good job - I'm still snickering over the comment about Koizumi.

Steve King and therefore we should not have to claim him as our own. :eyes: God, what MORAN!!!

32. Two questions about Limpballs.
A friend of mine says it was reported that this was a weekend with the boys. If so, why did he need viagra??? Also, did y'all catch Robin Williams (on Letterman?) when he commented that when Limbaugh takes Viagra he gets taller. hehehe
