Crackwhore Disheveled™

Maybe if you didn’t look like you had been doing crack with Whitney in her bathroom the night before, that police officer wouldn’t have made that mistake. If you are going to look like you just rolled out of a crack den, then expect to be treated like you look like you just rolled out of a crack den.

And last time I checked, “ghetto fabulous” was not the typical dressing style of a United States Congresswoman.

Here are some examples you might want to try to emulate, Cynthia:

California’s own Diane Watson & Barbara Lee

Florida’s Corrine Brown

And last, but not least, my absolute favorite jurist in the entire world, Janice Rogers Brown. Now this is what class looks like, Cynthia.

If you want to be taken seriously, try looking the part.

Is one of the reasons I became a Republican.

Says Jimmy Kimmel during an interview on Fox News Weekend Live just now.

Jeff is way ahead of you Jimmy.

Cheney: “I thought that made good sense because you can get as accurate a story as possible from somebody who knows and understands hunting,” Cheney said. “Then it would immediately go up to the wires and be posted on the Web site, which is the way it went out. I thought that was the right call. I still do.”

American People: Hmmm…sounds like the way I might have handled that.

MSM: DELAY! COVERUP! EVIL! HALIBURTON!

American People: Oh shut the f**k up already.

Crackpot Lawrence O’Donnell apparently thinks so. However, as usual, he alludes to evidence but produces nothing. But it did get me thinking about Cheney’s heart condition and the various medications he must be on - specifically, is he on any medication that would prompt his doctors to advise against alcohol consumption?

Here is just a brief sample of the likely medications Cheney is on for his heart condition and what the indications are regarding alcohol:

# ACE inhibitor such as lisinopril (Zestril), or AR blocker

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while you are taking lisinopril. Alcohol may further lower blood pressure and increase drowsiness and dizziness when you are taking lisinopril.

# anti-cholesterol “statin” such as atorvastatin (Lipitor)

Alcohol and atorvastatin can both be damaging to the liver. Alcohol should be used only in moderation. Discuss the use of alcohol with your doctor so that the potential for liver problems can be determined.

# beta-blocker such as atenolol (Tenormin), metoprolol, or carvedilol (Coreg)

Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may increase drowsiness and dizziness while taking this medication.

# nitroglycerin prn

Avoid alcohol. It also widens blood vessels and may cause dizziness, drowsiness, and low blood pressure. It could be dangerous to combine alcohol with nitroglycerin.

These are just a few of the possible medications Cheney is on and all of them have cautions regarding alcohol. Given Cheney’s position as VP and his heart history, it is quite unlikely Cheney was drinking.

**UPDATE**

A beer at lunch - the accident happened at dusk.

The contest isn’t stupid, the people are. I just don’t know which one is more stupid (the subjects of the posts, not the authors of the blogs).

VERY rough language warning.

“Give me your tired apologies, your poor excuses, your muddled appeasement, yearning to breathe venom, the wretched multiculturalists with thy moral equivalency, I welcome all but the American way.” - solomonpanting (LFG comments)

Once again, people show just how stupid they can be. Disagree with Cindy Sheehan if you want, but don’t be a dumbass. Those crosses have the names of fallen soldiers on them and no matter who put them up or why, pulling a stunt like this is disgusting and stupid.

John Kerry speaking about the political prospects of Lance Armstrong:

SAINT-ETIENNE, France — Sen. John Kerry thinks Lance Armstrong would make a terrific politician _ but fears he’d be running for the other party.

Watching Armstrong during his warmup for Saturday’s time trial, the Democrat from Massachusetts listed the Texan’s winning qualities.

“What’s made him so special at the Tour de France, and as an athlete, is the level of focus, discipline, intelligence, strategic ability, and obviously, his endurance _ his ability to just take it on and go,” Kerry said.

Those qualities would serve Armstrong well in politics, Kerry said. But Armstrong is also friendly with fellow Texan President Bush.

“I think he’d be awesome, he’d be a force. I just hope it’s for the right party,” said Kerry, an avid cyclist and longtime fan of the Tour de France. (emphasis mine)

Not “I think he’d be awesome, he’d be a force America” but “I just hope it’s for the right party.” And this guy is thinking about running for President again?
