HULK SMASH

Wow. 1


First up!


Well . . . almost.


What?


GravatarThe Gene Rayburn Office Building?

It was probably Brett Sommers.


GravatarThose weren't shots. It was merely Dennis Hastert farting.


GravatarMight this be related to the FBI raid of William Jefferson, and stuff of that nature?

Or just some nut got thru security?


GravatarProbably Zell Miller challenging Matthews to a duel.


GravatarJust a quick one from below:

"falsified documents often used by illegal workers & terrorists."

Didn't NotJenna get caught with a fake ID so she could get booze?

If so, when's she heading for Gitmo?


GravatarIt's okay if they had a conceal and carry permit, right?


GravatarMaybe Hastert went postal because he's under investigation for ties to Abramoff.


GravatarOkay, so it was Dennis Hastert farting as he switched from his 12-miles-per-gallon SUV to a hybrid for a photo op.


GravatarI bet it was an unhinged moonbat!


GravatarOn the CNN web site:

# Hockey fans draining area's beer supply
# Wrestlemania in Senegal over ancient sport
# Namibia stands up for Pitt, Jolie
# Misdialed 'Idol' calls went to woman's house
#Scott Peterson's new penpal -- a juror


Gravatar...now saying in the garage.

Can't get the car started? Pop off a couple of rounds.


Gravatar...now saying in the garage.

I heard it was in the library with Colonel Mustard.

Vicki, Who ♥ Al Gore


Clearly the FBI has precipitated a Constitutional crisis.


GravatarIt was probably Brett Sommers.

lol


Gravatarin lockdown mode at the Hill ... no cordons, tape yet


GravatarI heard it was in the library with Colonel Mustard.

NOT with the candlestick.


GravatarElvis didn't like how he looked on the security cameras.


GravatarCouple 'a shots in the garage? Sounds like Friday night to me.

Next, CNN explores new phenomenon of "the shocker."
.


GravatarI wonder what the hell is going on?


Gravatar...now saying in the garage.

The terrorists hate us for our automobiles.


GravatarPray to God it was nothing serious. If it is serious, I doubt we'll hear about it right away.


Gravatarres: though i'm a lesser man for suggesting it, the hybrid probably needed heavier duty shocks...


GravatarI bet it was Cynthia McKinney!


GravatarI thought my Zell Miller joke was extremely appropriate...but no one laughed.

I am a rock, I am an island.


Gravatarconfused response ... some buildings in lockdown, some buildings evacuated -- heckuva job.

GravatarI have an alibi. I've been here in my office all morning.


GravatarWhen the Rayburn was first constructed, the WaPo architecture critic described its style as "Mussolini Modern".

Just sayin'...


GravatarNext, CNN explores new phenomenon of "the shocker."

Which phrase will they us?:

"Two in the pink and one in the stink"?

or

"Goin' to town with one in the brown"?


Gravatari'm betting disgruntled ex.


GravatarThis is what they were after: http://news.yahoo.com/photo/ 0605...W1jBHNlYwNtZXBo


Gravatar I thought my Zell Miller joke was extremely appropriate...but no one laughed.

Your Clue joke was better.


GravatarNow cnn.com is calling it "reports of sounds of possible shots."


Gravatarnot a mention of Cheney?


GravatarHey, kids! Intercourse the Penguin says:

Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder!
And here's another thing to ponder!
Don't touch yourself in an unclean way!
Don't make an Onanistic spray!
Or your genitals will fall off, OK?

Thank you, Intercourse, for reminding us to stay safe!

GravatarNow cnn.com is calling it "reports of sounds of possible shots."

Fart sounds becoming a lot more probable.


GravatarYOU SEE LIBERASL???? YOU FINALLY SEE???? THIS IS WHY IM AGAINTS GUN CONTROL - IF SOMEBODY IN THAT GARRAGE WOULD OF HAD A GUN HE COULD OF SHOT THE GUY WHO WAS SHOOTING


GravatarRemember, an armed society is a polite society.


GravatarA bit inappropriate, forgive me, but is Cheney up there today, and is he packing?


Gravatarres: though i'm a lesser man for suggesting it, the hybrid probably needed heavier duty shocks...

Well, I'm a lesser woman for making a fart joke (two of them) -- and a congressman's expense, no less.

/clutches pearls and gasps


GravatarDid the shooter have fake ID?


GravatarNow cnn.com is calling it "reports of sounds of possible shots."
Halfdan, history taskmaster



Now it's "reports of sounds that some think sounded like people talking about the sound of shots."


GravatarI liked it, Vicki. I bet Zell has one of those long rifles like the hillbillys in the Bugs Bunny cartoon.


GravatarYOU SEE LIBERASL???? YOU FINALLY SEE???? THIS IS WHY IM AGAINTS GUN CONTROL - IF SOMEBODY IN THAT GARRAGE WOULD OF HAD A GUN HE COULD OF SHOT THE GUY WHO WAS SHOOTING

This is why I love Merkin.


GravatarFart sounds becoming a lot more probable.

See?


GravatarIt was Mark Sanford.


GravatarWell, I'm a lesser woman for making a fart joke (two of them) -- and a congressman's expense, no less.


Ahh, hell. It's just the Internets. And in my opinion, you're never obnoxious or anything...you don't spew hate, you just speak truth to power.


GravatarWhere was Cheney?


GravatarMaybe they forgot about the production of "Lord of the Dance" in the garage...


GravatarIf he gets stuck right click and click play

You can also click on him and drag him around.


GravatarGMT, Bwahahahahahahaha!


GravatarMoe: hawaya?
Somalia and Afghanistan come to mind as counterexamples to Heinlein's utter bullshit...


GravatarSo, basically, someone's car backfired in the garage?


GravatarIt was Dr. Frist in the garage with the Investigator to Day Trading. He used his Presidential Bid documents to hide the fingerprints on the handgun.


Gravatarbooga-booga!


GravatarLying shit award of the day:

He [George Bush] also said he regretted the abuse by U.S. troops of prisoners at Abu Ghraib. However, he was quick to point out, the perpetrators of those crimes were brought to justice, something that wouldn't have happened under Saddam Hussein's regime.


GravatarTerrist!!!!


GravatarI heard it was in the library with Colonel Mustard.

"This is WAR, Peacock! Casualties are inevitable! You can NOT make an omelette without breaking eggs, any cook will tell you that!"


GravatarIt's not a left-wing nut, since we're all busy posting here.


GravatarKeep your stinking hands off my guns or I'll shoot you in the face!

Love,

Big Dick


GravatarSo, basically, someone's car backfired in the garage?


Jefferson might have had some cash hidden in the tailpipe of his car, and he needed to blow it out.


Gravatarres: you own pearls? Ah, dreams die hard...
How's the job?


Gravatarpete hoekstra was yelling for a door to be closed which it couldn't be because of a trailing wire.

This is going to be another one of those "run without point, run without purpose" things, isn't it?


GravatarRobert Heinlein said that "armed society polite blah blah" thing. Somebody should have said "Are you out of your fucking mind, Robert? And what happens when somebody decides that you aren't polite enough?"


GravatarOoops, posted below by accident:

Didn't foreign terrorist stage a direct attack on the floor of Congress just the other day? Musta been them Al Quaders.



Oooops, sorry, they weren't foreigners, they were American citizens from PR and it wasn't yesterday, it was in 1954.

Thor psychically sensed the next post after him.


GravatarHowever, he was quick to point out, the perpetrators of those crimes were brought to justice, something that wouldn't have happened under Saddam Hussein's regime.


And when did Rummy stand trial? Or is he using the, "I'm dumb and had no idea what was going on" defence?

Hey, worked for Kenny Boy!


Gravatarsomeone now saying that there's a capitol police firing range in that area ...


GravatarHowever, he was quick to point out, the perpetrators of those crimes were brought to justice, something that wouldn't have happened under Saddam Hussein's regime.

Well no, it wasn't a crime under Saddam Hussein's regime. Woo Hoo: the US - not as bad as Iraq.


GravatarThis appears to have been a false alarm (I'm guessing a car backfired).

Good thing CNN will report on it breathelessly for the next six hours.


GravatarNow cnn.com is calling it "reports of sounds of possible shots."

If this weren't so sad, it would be freaking hilarious.

Hastert probably stumbled and his fat haid hit the bumper of his SUV.


GravatarMoe: hawaya?

ProfWombat


I'm doing great. Playing in blog land until the rain stops. And you?

Funny thing, Somalia is probably the one place where some armed intervention might actually do some good. But both the Americans and the Canadians fucked that one up. Whenever Canuks go on about peacekeeping this and peacekeeping that, I just bring up Somalia. Yep, we're on a higher moral plane, I says.


GravatarPete Hoekstra is a major league asshole. He is my parents' Congresscritter.

CNN's Story

Seriously, though, Hoekstra is very nasty and partisan, and he's a blight on this side of the state.

I could see how that might provoke a shooting.

GravatarAh, Wombat got there first.


GravatarProb'ly a disgruntled Atriot who couldn't keep up with the posts.

B1 Bummer


Until you've tried Zell's "Possum Bourgignon avec Haricots Verts" you haven't lived.


GravatarWell, Shit. Can't we hear about Hayden's confirmation vote and what he will be instructed to do by Negroponte and Rummy?


GravatarHas anyone brought up the "Denny Hastert Popcorn Fart Theory?"


GravatarThis appears to have been a false alarm (I'm guessing a car backfired).

Oh, something backfired alright. It was Dennis Haster's ass.


GravatarRobert Heinlein said that "armed society polite blah blah" thing.

Must have had no experience on an interstate.


GravatarSo, basically, someone's car backfired in the garage?

We have a weiner!!!

Hahahahaha. That dude looks like he's gonna pop.


Gravatarradio sez no injuries, no arrests. total confusion about whether to do lockdown or evacuation. 9/11 changed everything.

GravatarHee! Zell Miller's Armadillo pate avec les pommes du cheval!


Gravatarone of the interrupted house hearings was about the NSA leaks


GravatarSo, Rayburn House office building. Possible shots fired.

What vote was coming up this morning that needed to be derailed via lockdown?

Seriously. i remember many years ago in college (U.F.) there were 2-3 bomb threat calls/day during finals week from those who weren't ready to take that final exam. as the level of political trickery & sophistication of the Congress class is permanently stuck in 'fratboy' mode, well......

Gravatari think it was christopher hitchens DOING shots...

Shots in the garage usually result in backfires, eventually.

What was Douglas Adams advised? Oh, yeah:

Don't Panic.


GravatarWas J. Miller in the buidling this morning?

Somebody surely would have shot her if they were still liking the Imposter.


GravatarReporter stressing the labyrinth of tunnels among the Capitol and office buildings and how they complicate secuirty for the Capitol Police.


GravatarHow fitting that these idiots who scream, "tera terra terra" are redused to AWTB's at the drop of hat?

It's okay if someone is getting shot at as long as it isn't them.

GravatarYou know, as far as I'm concerned, the Dems who voted to approve Gen. Hayden ought to be defeated.

Here's how they voted:

yes:
Akaka, Baucus, Biden, Bingaman, Byrd, Carper, Feinstein, Johnsonm, Kohl, Landrieu, Lautenberg, Leahy, Levin, Lieberman, Lincoln, Mikulski, Murray, Nelson (FL), Nelson (NE), Pryor, Reed, Reid, Sarbanes, Schumer, Stabenow

no:
Bayh, Cantwell, Clinton, Dayton, Dodd, Dorgan, Durbin, Feingold, Harkin, Kennedy, Kerry, Menendez, Obama, Wyden

not voting:
Boxer, Conrad, Inouye, Rockefeller, Salazar

The one Repub to vote "no": Specter.


GravatarWe are living in an banana republic.


Gravatarradio sez no injuries, no arrests. total confusion about whether to do lockdown or evacuation.

Republicans in a nutshell. Utterly incompetent. Wahhhhhhhhh.


GravatarMSNBC just confirmed. The shooter missed his target. Nobody has been shot.

GravatarWhy the hell did Levin vote for the Evildome?
B1 Bummer


Good question. I'm his constituent. I'll write him and ask him, and then I'll get back with you in about six months, once he responds to me with a generic reply.


GravatarGrid SEARCH!

OMG! That could be an ELECTRIC affair.

NSA documents as to who refused investigative branch information in regards to who declined information for NSA information has been halted due to suspected shots fired.


GravatarI swear I thought it was a quail. As soon as he recovers, he can apologize to me.


GravatarVicky, you're a comedic genius. I just told the Zell Miller one to my assistants and they died laughing. Don't worry though, you were properly credited.


Gravatar4 ambulances arrive at Rayburn bldg per AP.


GravatarLook, Hayden is the least of our worries.

Eli posted a story on his blog yesterday about a bill pending that would appoint an executive overseer for the judiciary.

So the FBI is busy intimidating Congress, and the WH is looking to appoint an agent to intimidate the judiciary too.

But no one is looking. They are all missing the forest for the trees. I'm frustrated beyond belief here. I can't get any traction with this. Everyone is upset over Hayden and howling like jackals over Hastert and Hastert is right and Hayden is not a threat to us, really. But the fucking FBI is. And everyone believes them and not the Black Caucus. Except me. And I'm tearing my hair out.

I'm gonna bounce for a bit. I just cannot take anymore.


Gravatar House Intelligence Committee

Such an obvious oxymoron.


GravatarWHOA!!!!!!!!!!

Young students with school groups have been LOCKED DOWN in the building. HOLY COW! They might ask Senators questions. EVACUATE!


GravatarWicca's don't count.

(According to the government.)


.


GravatarChuck Schumer?
WTF?

I'm so pissed right now.


Gravatarwhy are dems enabling these bastards?


cause dems suck too, but suck less - there are only a handful of progressives elected, most dems are really gop-lite


GravatarTena: this isn't news, exactly. The entire history of the Bush administration suggests an expansion of executive power at the expense of the nominally coequal other branches of government.

It is, on the other hand, disturbing confirmation...


GravatarSMOKING!

Smoke. Smoke covered lenses. Screens of smoke.


GravatarIt's okay if someone is getting shot at as long as it isn't them.

Good one! They enable the gun nuts they go all WATB when a supposed shooter is on the loose. Assholes. Not to mention the cowards from DOD hiding out in the "green zone" behind barricades yacking about all the great shit happening in Iraq.


Gravatar'Not to mention the cowards from DOD hiding out in the "green zone" behind barricades yacking about all the great shit happening in Iraq.
bigvic'

What's happening in Iraq has nothing to do with the green zone.

How did your derby go?


Gravatarok, let's contribute to aclu then. they'll help us push back even if dems wont.


GravatarEveryone is upset over Hayden and howling like jackals over Hastert and Hastert is right and Hayden is not a threat to us, really. But the fucking FBI is.

Well, probably, but not for the reasons Hastert thinks.

Heard a Yale Con Law Professor on NPR yesterday say he simply couldn't find a Constitutional case for what Hastert claimed. Art I, he said, refers to civil, not criminal cases. And if it was a defense, why didn't Cunningham use it? Or DeLay? Or any other Rep. ever removed from office by arrest on criminal charges?

Hastert is squealing for reasons I really don't understand, and I don't think for a minute it will make him sensitive to the NSA scandal, or realize the hypocrisy of his position. It's politics for him, pure and simple. Curious thing, too, that NPR caught. Yesterday morning, Hastert said the FBI wanted to intimidate him, and he wouldn't be intimidated.

That afternoon, asked if the FBI was trying to intimidate him, Hastert said: I don't know what they're doing. I wouldn't say they were trying to intimidate me.

He's scared. Maybe he has reason to be.


GravatarI'm gonna bounce for a bit. I just cannot take anymore.
Tena

i'm sorry tena. i should have said this earlier: YOU ARE RIGHT. i trust pelosi on this one. if she says it's an overreach, it is.


GravatarWhy did the Democrats confirm Hayden?

From Hayden's rolodex:

Akaka: Three "breather" calls to Mikulski
Baucus: Helena escort service on speed dial
Biden: Three hour call complaining about hair plugs to mother
Jeff "Big Love" Bingaman: Has three mobile phones, one for each wife
Carper: Claims 900 numbers as "franking" privileges
Kohl: Late night calls to Bucks cheerleaders Lieberman: Talks to Hadassah in the buff
Mikulski: One "breather" call back to Akaka
Reid: Video store called to tell him "Hot Tabernacle Nghts" was overdue


Gravatarhey nobody said owly turtles.


GravatarWe're stuck with Nelson here in Florida. But look at the alternative: Katherine Harris!!!

However, he best not get overly smug that he is going to be re-elected. Shit happens. I may vote for Harris (ugh) just to make sure Nelson doesn't think he has a mandate to continue to vote along with his Republican buddies.


GravatarWhen you wake up in the morning and there's gunfire in the Rayburn building, it's a good...


GravatarHa...the idiots run a firing range down there, says BBC. Congressional shooting club.


GravatarAny shots fired at congress by an informed citizen would obviously be in self defense.


GravatarSo, is this the moment when Jefferson's documents mysteriously disappear or am I entering tinfoil hat area here?


Gravatar...IT WAS ONLY CHENEY CLEANING HIS GUN!...
