Centrist Central: How Stewart and Colbert are Selling the Neocon Agenda to the Left

by Scott Creighton  I just have to ask, is there anything, anything, that billionare Sumner Redstone’s progressive propaganda tag-team of Jon Stewart & Stephen Colbert won’t do to help turn the supposed left 180 degrees from positions they held during the previous administration?  I have written several times about Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert turning into blatant [...]

Jon Stewart Ambushes Rod Blagojevich

by Scott Creighton Holding to his traditional role as “left” mouthpiece for the neoliberal status quo and the Obama/Rahm/Clinton/AIPAC junta, Jon Stewart ( born Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz) ambushed Rod Blagojevich on his show the other night after Blago beat out 23 of 24 trumped-up charges  . You think he would congratulate him, but instead he made a joke [...]

Congratulations Gov. Blagojevich

by Scott Creighton I had forgotten why I had been banned at the Huffington Post…. now I remember. I just got banned from HuffPo and my profile was [wiped-out] so that no one can read my comments. Not because I am a republican troll. They have plenty of those there, and they let them post [...]

Clinton’s Plan for Haiti: Coca-Cola Plantations and Sara Lee Sweatshops

by Scott Creighton    President Obama’s Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, pulled the strings and put her husband in charge the billions of dollars set aside for the rebuilding of Haiti.  In most countries that would be considered a conflict of interest if not outright fraud. In this country, that might have even been considered illegal at [...]

Scott Ritter Arrested in Sex Sting;Expect More Lies About Iran

by Scott Creighton ***UPDATE 1*** Well, that didn’t take long. The Heritage Foundation is already ringing the war bells with “Iranian nuclear weapons” and the old debunked ”Iran is promising to wipe out Israel” bullshit. Apparently it’s all justification for a pending Israeli strike on Iran’s nuclear sites. In an article published just today, the Heritage Foundation [...]

Michael Madigan’s Committee Moves To Impeach Blagojevich Without Any Articles of Impeachment

by Scott Creighton Impeachment is a form of indictment. Once the “indictment” is passed, it then goes to the other legislative body, the senate, for the actual “trial”. Impeachment does not necessarily result in removal from office, but rather is only a legal statement of charges, parallel to an indictment in criminal law. Wiki The [...]

Burris Lawyers Rightly Cite Marbury V Madison On Behalf of the Junior Senator from Illinois

by Scott Creighton ****UPDATE*** Burris will be seated Just a quick note.  The criminality of the Gov.  Blagojevich case is getting worse.  Not Blago’s criminality, but that of Harry Reid doing the bidding of Rahm Emanuel and ultimately, Barack Obama. Roland Burris is the junior Senator from the state of Illinois. He has been legally [...]

If the Senate Don’t Want the “Taint”, They Should Stop Being Assholes

by Scott Creighton At a current 9% approval rating, while remaining silent as children die in Gaza by the handful, and just after their TARP Plan has proven to be so full of holes a billionaire could drive his 35 million dollar New York City apartment through it, the senate has reported  “…that allowing a [...]

Reid and Emanuel Told Blago Who to Pick Before Fitzgerald Sprang His Hasty Arrest

by Scott Creighton On the Sunday before Gov. Blagojevich was arrested, just two days prior to that event, Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid talked with Blagojevich and told him who they wanted him to pick to fill the vacant senate seat. Rather, Reid called Blagojevich to argue he appoint either state Veterans Affairs chief Tammy [...]

Wait, Let me Get This Straight; Impeach Blago, But Don’t Look At the Evidence Against Him?

by Scott Creighton What? WTF? U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald sent a letter to the Illinois House of Representatives that are looking to impeach Gov. Blagojevich because he has been charged with 2 crimes after being arrested, and Fitzgerald asked them not to look at the details of those charges … when considering  Blogojevich’s impeachment? In [...]

Obama’s Blago Report: Madigan On Rahm’s “Short List” and Blago Did NOT Try To Benefit From Deal

by Scott Creighton (Bullet Points – 1. Rahm had multiple conversations telling Blago’s people who “Obama wanted” to fill the senate seat.  2. Lisa Madigan was high up on that short list.  3. Blago did NOT try to trade the senate seat for ANYTHING according to the Obama report, just released today (4:30 pm to [...]

Sam on Blago: Where’s the Evidence?

by Sam Donaldson, from ABC News, video here. The latest developments in the Gov. Rod Blagojevich saga out of Illinois have apparently angered a lot of people, particularly in Illinois. You say, “Yes, what Blagojevich allegedly tried to do in shopping around President-elect Obama’s Senate seat is simply outrageous and that man should be thrown [...]

BREAKING: Illinois Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Motion to Declare Blagojevich Unfit to Serve

by Scott Creighton (and at 5:30pm 6:50pm by Thursday morning, HuffPo has STILL not got a story up about it. Their front page has a pressing story about a North Korean woman found guilty of adultery. Guess Obama needs to invade, huh?) I guess the state Supreme Court didn’t like Lisa Madigan’s attempt to mangle [...]

Banned At HuffPo

by Scott Creighton Why is it that ‘trolls” and Bushites can post at Huffington Post, but someone like me, who simply calls into question the reasons behind the political witch-hunt of Gov. Blagojevich, can’t? There are no Sunnis no Shia; no republicans no democrats; no Jews and Palestinians… There are people that are IN the [...]

M. Madigan, Ill. State Speaker, May Move to Impeach Blagojevich To Get His Daughter that Senate Seat

(You think we should have a look at that list of “acceptable candidates” that Rahm gave Blago’s people, before we allow this guy to shove the governor out of the way for his little girl’s benefit? Would that be wise, you think? If his daughter, Ill. AG Lisa Madigan, is on that list… Should we [...]
