My favorite part in Top Ten Conservative Idiots this week:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/top10/05/197.html

"So - lying to the American people? Lying to Congress? Sounds like an impeachable offense to me. Or maybe not - I mean, sure he lied to Congress, lied to the public, got us into a war which has killed almost 1600 American soldiers so far and countless thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians, is bankrupting us with an unnecessary war and a military budget which will soon total more than the entire rest of the world combined, created thousands of new terrorists and turned Iraq into a breeding ground for more, and because of his lies and his policies, America is decidedly less safe...

...but hey - at least he didn't get a blowjob, right?"

1. I saw the BJ thing in my local weekly not too long ago
My local free weekly newspaper has a very active "Speak Out" forum. Each week, I would guess they print around 30 or so items, some political & some not. A few weeks back, somebody wrote in about how Bill Clinton had disgraced the presidency by dropping his trousers in office.

So, my response was something about Watergate, shadow governments, & secret bombings under Nixon; Iran-Contra and more convicts than all other presidents of the 20th century combined under Reagan, not to mention creating Osama bin Laden & giving WMD to Saddam; and of course, the worst lies have been under Bush Jr. I think I also slipped in a bit about how many presidents had had affairs, including Bush Sr with his mistress.

3. Yes, they did
I get at least 1-2 published per week in there - it's anonymous, so I try to write at least one per day. I've had as many as five in one week published.

6. Unfortunately
They have taken the "Speak Out" off of the internet. Probably because I posted on here before asking for submissions...

I moved into the area last summer and the political LTTEs in Speak Out were majority conservative, except for 1 lonely person defending Michael Moore (this was around the time Fahrenheit 9/11 came out)... since then, I've managed to recruit a few others to at least write in fairly regularly and it's now mostly progressive political stuff in there. The only exceptions are maybe once a month a whiny RWers writes in & complains about too many libruls writing in to Speak Out...
